WEBVTT - Juicin’ Up for the Post-Squeezin’ with Big Citrus

0:00:00.760 --> 0:00:03.320
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Good Game with Sarah Spain, where Marina Maybrey

0:00:03.400 --> 0:00:05.960
<v Speaker 1>is playing a one person game of horse while watching

0:00:06.040 --> 0:00:09.080
<v Speaker 1>all of her teammates get traded away and don't ask

0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:12.280
<v Speaker 1>us how she already got home. It's Tuesday, March eighteenth,

0:00:12.320 --> 0:00:14.560
<v Speaker 1>and on today's show, Big Citrus will be jumping on

0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:18.520
<v Speaker 1>to discuss the biggest March Madness bracket storylines, the strangest

0:00:18.640 --> 0:00:20.320
<v Speaker 1>WNBA news timing we've seen in.

0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:23.239
<v Speaker 2>A while, and our favorite new T shirts which could

0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:25.759
<v Speaker 2>also be your favorite new T shirts.

0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:29.800
<v Speaker 1>Plus a rallying call becomes a burn potatoes and corn galore,

0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:31.920
<v Speaker 1>and did it just get a little cloudy in here?

0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 1>It's all coming up right after this welcome back slices,

0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:44.120
<v Speaker 1>Here's what you need to know today. Let's start with

0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:47.600
<v Speaker 1>the WNBA where midway through the NCAA Tourney bracket reveal

0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:50.800
<v Speaker 1>and the unrivaled semifinals. On Sunday, it was announced that

0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:53.400
<v Speaker 1>the Connecticut's Sun have traded Natasha Cloud to the New

0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:55.960
<v Speaker 1>York Liberty in exchange for the number seven pick in

0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:58.640
<v Speaker 1>this year's WNBA draft and a first round pick in

0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:01.640
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty six. Quick reminder, Cloud, who played for the

0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Phoenix Mercury last season, was sent to Connecticut just a

0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:06.720
<v Speaker 1>few weeks ago as part of the four team deal

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:10.360
<v Speaker 1>that sent Melissa Thomas to Phoenix and Satusabili to Dallas.

0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:13.039
<v Speaker 1>While Cloud is clearly psyched to be in New York,

0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:17.880
<v Speaker 1>tweeting New York as soon as the news broke, we're

0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:21.399
<v Speaker 1>guessing that Marina Maybrey is probably a little less thrilled.

0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:24.600
<v Speaker 1>Maybury had requested a trade from the Sun earlier this

0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:27.319
<v Speaker 1>year after the team lost its entire starting lineup during

0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:30.440
<v Speaker 1>free agency, but that trade was denied and now she

0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:33.280
<v Speaker 1>lost Hash too. Thank god she learned how to cook

0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:36.040
<v Speaker 1>it Unrivaled. It's time to drown those sorrows and some pasta.

0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:40.039
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of Unrivaled. By the time U slices hear this Unrivaled,

0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:42.959
<v Speaker 1>we'll have its first champion. But we had to record

0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:45.399
<v Speaker 1>this ahead of Monday Night's final between roseby C and

0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:48.440
<v Speaker 1>Vinyl BC due to my wild travel schedule, and while

0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:51.360
<v Speaker 1>we could pull out the crystal ball again, it was

0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:54.280
<v Speaker 1>dead wrong last week calling game for the Lunar Owls,

0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:57.360
<v Speaker 1>Hoodie who shout out to Panda with Cookie and Blue

0:01:57.400 --> 0:01:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Sky for that great a burn.

0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:00.880
<v Speaker 2>After the Owls went down on Sunday.

0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:03.760
<v Speaker 1>We will plan to do a full unrivaled debrief with

0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:06.320
<v Speaker 1>the winners and the final awards of the season later

0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:09.799
<v Speaker 1>this week to the PWHL, where the Minnesota Frost and

0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:12.880
<v Speaker 1>New York Sirens played in front of fourteen, two hundred

0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:15.960
<v Speaker 1>and eighty eight fans on Sunday night in Detroit, Michigan,

0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:19.880
<v Speaker 1>setting a new US Pro Women's Hockey attendance record. Detroit's

0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:22.440
<v Speaker 1>Little Caesars Arena was the eighth of nine stops on

0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:25.919
<v Speaker 1>the PWHL's takeover tour, which could factor into which new

0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:28.680
<v Speaker 1>cities the upstart Women's Hockey League expands to in the future.

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:32.040
<v Speaker 1>According to Zesti Lyme on Blue Sky, the whole arena

0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:35.720
<v Speaker 1>was chanting, we want a team, so Detroit definitely threw

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:38.360
<v Speaker 1>their hat in the ring for expansion Sunday night. The

0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:41.320
<v Speaker 1>league also announced that more than one million fans have

0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:44.560
<v Speaker 1>attended a PWHL contest since the league played its inaugural

0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:48.400
<v Speaker 1>game on January first, twenty twenty four. Incredible New York

0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:50.359
<v Speaker 1>went on to win that game against Minnesota four to

0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:53.200
<v Speaker 1>one to keep the team's playoff hopes just barely afloat

0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:54.840
<v Speaker 1>heading into the final month and a half of the

0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 1>regular season, Sirens are currently last in the sixteen standings.

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:02.480
<v Speaker 1>The Frost, last year's tampions, are sitting and fourth. More

0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:04.959
<v Speaker 1>from the World of Snow and Ice, US cross country

0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.560
<v Speaker 1>skier and friend of the Show, Jesse Diggins clinched her

0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:09.040
<v Speaker 1>third overall World.

0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:09.920
<v Speaker 2>Cup title this weekend.

0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:12.240
<v Speaker 1>That's the award given to the skier with the most

0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:15.040
<v Speaker 1>points over the course of the grueling thirty one race

0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:18.520
<v Speaker 1>November to March international season. While there are technically still

0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:20.359
<v Speaker 1>three races left on the World Cup slate in the

0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:22.480
<v Speaker 1>next few days, diggins lead over the rest of the

0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 1>field can't be beaten at this point. The three time

0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:28.960
<v Speaker 1>Olympic medalist was already the only North American cross country

0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:32.480
<v Speaker 1>skier of any gender to own two World Cup overall

0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:35.680
<v Speaker 1>titles when she accomplished that feat last year, and now

0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:40.320
<v Speaker 1>she's even more in a league of her own. We

0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:42.440
<v Speaker 1>got to take a quick break. When we come back,

0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:48.640
<v Speaker 1>get out the juicers. It's time for Big Citrus to reconvene.

0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:54.400
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back Slices.

0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:57.360
<v Speaker 1>Let's have a little Big Citrus convo about some of

0:03:57.360 --> 0:03:58.720
<v Speaker 1>the biggest news of the.

0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:01.600
<v Speaker 2>Week, and I want to start with the bracket takeaways.

0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Late on Sunday night.

0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:04.840
<v Speaker 1>I gave you some of my biggest thoughts on it,

0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:06.840
<v Speaker 1>but I want to hear from Alex and Mesh as well.

0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:10.200
<v Speaker 1>And I get the feeling Mesh's gonna want to start with.

0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:12.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know William and Mary.

0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:18.640
<v Speaker 3>I don't give a piss about nothing but the tribe. Okay,

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:24.000
<v Speaker 3>my William and Mary tribe. My alma mater won the

0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:27.760
<v Speaker 3>CAA Championship on Sunday. I was sick to my freaking

0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:30.360
<v Speaker 3>stomach that I couldn't be there. Had a good reason,

0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:33.440
<v Speaker 3>also had an annoying reason with travel and planes and

0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:36.839
<v Speaker 3>all that kind of stuff, but literally cried once that

0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:41.360
<v Speaker 3>buzzer sounded. Coach Aronderson Davis's team has restored my faith

0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:46.080
<v Speaker 3>in that program and the ability of folks who have

0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:49.720
<v Speaker 3>one goal, one accord to really come together. That team

0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:54.159
<v Speaker 3>was fifteen and eighteen on the season, folks, that is rough,

0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:56.280
<v Speaker 3>and I had a front row seat to it. There

0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:58.960
<v Speaker 3>were ups and downs, but anybody who was paying close

0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:02.200
<v Speaker 3>attention new there were flashes of brilliance. Whether it was

0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:04.400
<v Speaker 3>a five minute segment, in a quarter, a whole quarter,

0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:06.280
<v Speaker 3>a whole half, it was just a matter of them

0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:08.599
<v Speaker 3>putting it all together. The talent was there, you know,

0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:11.640
<v Speaker 3>the strategy was there, the defense especially was there.

0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:12.880
<v Speaker 2>In one player in.

0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:16.479
<v Speaker 3>Particular, Bela Nasimento, throughout this entire season was dealing with

0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:18.200
<v Speaker 3>the fact that she was now going to be the

0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:21.719
<v Speaker 3>team's returning leading scorer and you know, in her last

0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.040
<v Speaker 3>year in a college uniform, she's gonna be heading off

0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:25.640
<v Speaker 3>to the pros, gonna be at the Combine in the

0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:29.120
<v Speaker 3>final four. She set it off in the tournament and

0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:31.800
<v Speaker 3>so many other players also stepped up during that four

0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:36.200
<v Speaker 3>game stretch, y'all. They beat the reigning champs from last year, Drexel.

0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:38.800
<v Speaker 3>They beat the number one seed in this tournament, North

0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:40.840
<v Speaker 3>Carolina A and T, which by the way, had just

0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:43.640
<v Speaker 3>blown them out the week prior, you know, in.

0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:45.040
<v Speaker 4>The last game of the regular season.

0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:48.000
<v Speaker 3>Then beat number three Campbell, who had also beat them

0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:50.279
<v Speaker 3>the week prior in the last game of the regular season.

0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:52.640
<v Speaker 3>Like you want to talk about an amazing run, that's

0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:54.839
<v Speaker 3>an amazing run. And the thing that's most exciting to

0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:57.320
<v Speaker 3>me for coach Aaron Dixon Davis in that team is

0:05:57.320 --> 0:06:00.120
<v Speaker 3>they've got a very winnable first four game again is

0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:02.279
<v Speaker 3>high point coming up on Thursday night. So I'm just

0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:04.800
<v Speaker 3>over the moon. I've been crying on and off for

0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:08.440
<v Speaker 3>like the last you know, thirty six hours. Never been

0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:10.599
<v Speaker 3>happier to be in alone, Niche.

0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:12.599
<v Speaker 5>They were the ninth Yes, they were.

0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:14.080
<v Speaker 2>They were.

0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:17.280
<v Speaker 3>That's why the first time, it's ninety three that they

0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:19.560
<v Speaker 3>had made it to the championship, and if I'm not mistaken,

0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:21.400
<v Speaker 3>they were the lowest seed to make it to the

0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:23.719
<v Speaker 3>championship ever in the history of the CAA.

0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:27.279
<v Speaker 1>This is the first time they're going dancing, which is huge.

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:31.679
<v Speaker 1>And also, Meche, you are the color commentator for their games,

0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:33.520
<v Speaker 1>and so not only did you play there, but now

0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:35.360
<v Speaker 1>you've been calling the games all season. And I have

0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:38.800
<v Speaker 1>to admit I haven't been watching super closely to the

0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:40.640
<v Speaker 1>team because I'm kind of thinking, oh, they're you know,

0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:42.160
<v Speaker 1>they're not going to be the kind of team I'm

0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.920
<v Speaker 1>watching come March. And so when they won and they

0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:47.120
<v Speaker 1>got the bid, I was like, I feel like Misha's

0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:47.880
<v Speaker 1>been burying the lead.

0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:50.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm William and Mary being like a tournament team. But

0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:51.640
<v Speaker 2>the point is they.

0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:52.400
<v Speaker 4>Were swear to you.

0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:55.159
<v Speaker 3>It's not that they again, It's like you look at

0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:57.080
<v Speaker 3>the eye test, you look at the record, You're not

0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:58.760
<v Speaker 3>going to say a fifteen to eighteen team is going

0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:00.920
<v Speaker 3>to make it to the tournament. But that's the beauty

0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:03.839
<v Speaker 3>of it, right, It's all about in March and tournament time.

0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:05.520
<v Speaker 4>You gotta peak at the right moment.

0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:07.960
<v Speaker 3>And they have been learning, you know, So you have

0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:10.040
<v Speaker 3>to learn each lesson after every loss, and I think

0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:11.560
<v Speaker 3>they did that this season and that's why they were

0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:12.560
<v Speaker 3>able to perform that way.

0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:15.559
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to deprive the slices of the good

0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:18.440
<v Speaker 1>and bad reason that you missed the game, So can

0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:21.200
<v Speaker 1>you quickly tell them what you were up to and

0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:21.960
<v Speaker 1>why you didn't make it?

0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:24.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I gotta give a shout out to my girl,

0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:26.760
<v Speaker 3>one of my best friends, one of my favorite humans

0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:28.840
<v Speaker 3>on this planet, Chandler, my bestI.

0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:31.080
<v Speaker 4>Yea, I won't give you her full government because you know.

0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:34.080
<v Speaker 3>She does important things, but it was her bachelorette this weekend,

0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:36.480
<v Speaker 3>so I was going to try to make it back

0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:37.400
<v Speaker 3>in time for that.

0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:38.880
<v Speaker 4>Game, hopefully even to call it.

0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:41.840
<v Speaker 3>But Tampa, Florida, folks, we were down there with the

0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:44.080
<v Speaker 3>weather and the storms and the rain, and so my

0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:46.600
<v Speaker 3>flight got delayed, he got canceled, I got.

0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:48.920
<v Speaker 4>All that kind of stuff. But I was able to

0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:51.560
<v Speaker 4>watch and celebrate so hey.

0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:54.560
<v Speaker 5>And maybe William and Mary will be back in Tampa.

0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:56.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, yeah, there you go.

0:07:57.080 --> 0:08:00.440
<v Speaker 1>Hey, you never missed the dulcin tones of one Jones

0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:02.720
<v Speaker 1>on the air for that game on the radio call.

0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:05.520
<v Speaker 1>But she at least got to nurse a little hangover

0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:08.120
<v Speaker 1>and watched the game, maybe having some hair at the

0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:10.000
<v Speaker 1>dog to get you pickle. And you made it back

0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:14.000
<v Speaker 1>in time for the show. Too awesome. Super excited about

0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:15.520
<v Speaker 1>that and excited for you.

0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:16.880
<v Speaker 2>Let's talk a.

0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:19.800
<v Speaker 1>Couple other things. Does don Staley have a point? South

0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:22.320
<v Speaker 1>Carolina the overall number one seed? Every year since twenty

0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.000
<v Speaker 1>twenty one, it goes to UCLA.

0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:24.520
<v Speaker 4>This year.

0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Dawn was not super demonstrative and said it wasn't bulletin

0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:31.960
<v Speaker 1>board material, but made it clear that she thought that

0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:33.640
<v Speaker 1>they should have been the number one overall.

0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:34.040
<v Speaker 2>Again.

0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:36.120
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I think she made a great point, right,

0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:38.600
<v Speaker 3>and she even said it in the post selection show

0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:41.160
<v Speaker 3>interview she did with Holly Rowe. This is a team

0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.959
<v Speaker 3>that played nineteen quad one opponents and for folks who

0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:46.360
<v Speaker 3>don't know what that means, basically, the cream of the crop,

0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:48.440
<v Speaker 3>the teams with the most value if you beat them.

0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:51.880
<v Speaker 3>Like those teams they went sixteen and three in nineteen

0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:54.040
<v Speaker 3>games against Quad one opponents.

0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:55.760
<v Speaker 1>And a lot of them early in the season when

0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:58.160
<v Speaker 1>we want to watch those games. We want to see

0:08:58.200 --> 0:08:59.720
<v Speaker 1>the big games. We don't want you to wait until

0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:02.440
<v Speaker 1>late season, so you're still figuring things out. Maybe folks

0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:04.520
<v Speaker 1>are hurt, maybe they're new, maybe they're fresh, and you're

0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:06.720
<v Speaker 1>willing to give up an l in order to learn

0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:09.440
<v Speaker 1>about your team and for the better of all of

0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:11.280
<v Speaker 1>college basketball, exactly.

0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:13.640
<v Speaker 3>For the entertainment value and also for your team to

0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:15.920
<v Speaker 3>get better. And so I agree with her that you

0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:19.480
<v Speaker 3>shouldn't penalize teams, you know what I mean, You want

0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:22.240
<v Speaker 3>to incentivize them to continue playing those games early on

0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:25.319
<v Speaker 3>in the season. So she's definitely got an argument there,

0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:26.160
<v Speaker 3>and then Lizzie.

0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:27.000
<v Speaker 4>Goppolie does as well.

0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:30.880
<v Speaker 3>For USC to me, I test wise, at this point

0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:34.080
<v Speaker 3>in the season, I worry about their consistency. I worry

0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.760
<v Speaker 3>about the fact that so much is on Juju's shoulders.

0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:38.559
<v Speaker 3>It's always a little scary when any team.

0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:40.600
<v Speaker 4>Puts a lot of eggs in one basket. But also

0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:44.680
<v Speaker 4>Juju shown she can do it. And let's be real.

0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:48.640
<v Speaker 3>They handed UCLA the only two losses they face this season,

0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:51.240
<v Speaker 3>and it's always hard to beat a team three times,

0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:52.760
<v Speaker 3>regardless of the situation.

0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:55.200
<v Speaker 4>So I do think she's got a point as well.

0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:56.880
<v Speaker 3>But at the end of the day, in my opinion,

0:09:57.679 --> 0:09:59.440
<v Speaker 3>you got a great point, that's fine, but you gotta

0:09:59.480 --> 0:09:59.960
<v Speaker 3>win the game.

0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:01.400
<v Speaker 4>It doesn't matter period.

0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:04.160
<v Speaker 5>Okay, So here's a question. Do you think Lindsay is

0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:07.280
<v Speaker 5>most upset about being the fourth number one seed or

0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:10.840
<v Speaker 5>the fact that Yukon is eight, thus hutting them against

0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:12.199
<v Speaker 5>each other potentially in the Elite A.

0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:15.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, well, I think it's about who's in her region.

0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:17.400
<v Speaker 1>As a result of being the fourth number one, you

0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:19.679
<v Speaker 1>get less respect as the fourth in terms of who

0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:22.160
<v Speaker 1>they're going to put as your twos and threes in

0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:22.680
<v Speaker 1>your region.

0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:24.800
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, I mean that's why she's pissed.

0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:26.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think part of the reason down is

0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:28.280
<v Speaker 1>like I'm pissed, but it's cool, is because their paths

0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:29.040
<v Speaker 1>of the final.

0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:32.439
<v Speaker 2>Four is oh, yes, it is, yeah, whereas Lindsay's like,

0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:32.800
<v Speaker 2>come on.

0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:35.320
<v Speaker 3>Man, you gotta go through Oklahoma, which is the number three.

0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:37.840
<v Speaker 3>You gotta go through Kentucky, which is the number four.

0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:41.320
<v Speaker 3>Both teams that are not pushovers, right, and then yeah,

0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:44.560
<v Speaker 3>if Yukon ends up at the end of that at

0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:48.000
<v Speaker 3>the end in that region, that's tough. Right, You already

0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:50.839
<v Speaker 3>know that they've got your number. Being a team two

0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:52.600
<v Speaker 3>times is a little easier than being the team.

0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:55.040
<v Speaker 1>Three times, so right, Yeah, I mean I think there's

0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:58.640
<v Speaker 1>that's why the committee's job is so tough, because you

0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:00.959
<v Speaker 1>can potentially argue that any of the number one seeds

0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:02.959
<v Speaker 1>could have been the overall number one, depending on which

0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:04.480
<v Speaker 1>kind of metric you want to look at, which makes

0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:05.240
<v Speaker 1>it so difficult.

0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:08.360
<v Speaker 2>I want to talk Notre Dame at number three a

0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:09.200
<v Speaker 2>couple weeks ago.

0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:11.720
<v Speaker 1>If you had said this, we would have been gobsmacked

0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:15.480
<v Speaker 1>based on Hannah Hidalgo and Olivia Miles and how that

0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:18.000
<v Speaker 1>team looked. But not only did they lose a handful

0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:21.040
<v Speaker 1>of games down the stretch, they lost two teams that

0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:23.600
<v Speaker 1>then picked up a lot of momentum as a result

0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:26.880
<v Speaker 1>of those wins, and that's how you end up being

0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:29.120
<v Speaker 1>a three. But man, does it suck for.

0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:31.640
<v Speaker 2>Anyone in a region where Notre Dame is the three.

0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:36.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's nuts, But it's exactly what you said. When

0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:37.840
<v Speaker 3>you're a top team, you have to take care of

0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:40.199
<v Speaker 3>business against team you're supposed to take care of business against,

0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:44.600
<v Speaker 3>and I also think though, it makes them that much

0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:47.200
<v Speaker 3>more dangerous because they had a taste of what it

0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:48.880
<v Speaker 3>was like to be at the top, to be a

0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:51.640
<v Speaker 3>potential number one, and had it ripped out from underneath them.

0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:53.559
<v Speaker 3>They're coming back with a vengeance.

0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:55.360
<v Speaker 4>If you've ever seen it before.

0:11:55.480 --> 0:12:00.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I want to know your announcement reaction. Go to move?

0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:03.760
<v Speaker 1>Are you dancing? Are you screaming? Are you I've been

0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:08.360
<v Speaker 1>here before? Playing it cool? Alex, The camera just switched

0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:12.400
<v Speaker 1>to you. You hear your name, and you see that

0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:14.199
<v Speaker 1>you are now live on ESPN.

0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:16.199
<v Speaker 2>Don't think what are you doing?

0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:19.040
<v Speaker 5>I'm digging back to when my field hockey team made

0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:21.560
<v Speaker 5>the NC DOUBLEA tournament, and I was the one who

0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:23.840
<v Speaker 5>We won our conference tournament both times, so we knew

0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:27.600
<v Speaker 5>we were in. But I was refreshing the NC DOUBLEA

0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:30.840
<v Speaker 5>site and doing like slash field Hockey D three and

0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:34.040
<v Speaker 5>like possible combos, like trying to hack the website to

0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:36.600
<v Speaker 5>see who we were seated against first, and so the

0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:39.360
<v Speaker 5>idea of having a camera in the room to capture

0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:44.120
<v Speaker 5>my reaction totally foreign and alien to me. I would

0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:46.920
<v Speaker 5>probably be smiling and not wanting the attention to be

0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:48.880
<v Speaker 5>on myself in my normal go to.

0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:52.360
<v Speaker 2>Way heard you love that mesh go to move oof.

0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:55.200
<v Speaker 3>My go to is immediately crying. As I just said,

0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:57.959
<v Speaker 3>I would probably be. I would probably be really excited

0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:01.079
<v Speaker 3>up until they actually said our names and then head

0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:04.040
<v Speaker 3>everything is just involved with the crying. But there's a

0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:06.320
<v Speaker 3>meme on Twitter. I think it's a video a gift.

0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:08.760
<v Speaker 3>What are we even calling things anyway? Yeah, and there's

0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:11.080
<v Speaker 3>a video of a girl on Twitter. She's like crying

0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:13.640
<v Speaker 3>over to the side and that she turns herund and smirks.

0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:15.599
<v Speaker 4>Like, yeah, we did that. That would probably be me.

0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:16.920
<v Speaker 4>That would probably be you.

0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:18.440
<v Speaker 1>Would be crying and then you'd be like, oh damn,

0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:20.160
<v Speaker 1>I gotta make some sort of move on this.

0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:21.800
<v Speaker 2>So let me let me turn to camera.

0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:23.960
<v Speaker 1>There was a gal I can't remember which team now,

0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:26.040
<v Speaker 1>who was in front, like on her knees, and it

0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:28.000
<v Speaker 1>looked like there was a deep prayer happening.

0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:29.040
<v Speaker 4>Hey, I get it.

0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:30.360
<v Speaker 2>I can't remember which team it was.

0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:33.080
<v Speaker 1>I would like to be able to say that I

0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:35.760
<v Speaker 1>would have like one of those choreographed TikTok moves that

0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:39.160
<v Speaker 1>the people had out front looking all likes fly absolutely not.

0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:41.120
<v Speaker 1>I would just be like the weirdo that runs straight

0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:42.880
<v Speaker 1>up to the camera and puts my whole face into it,

0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:46.120
<v Speaker 1>like and then I just start picking up all my

0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:49.559
<v Speaker 1>smaller teammates. That feels the zone brand potentially chest bumps.

0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:50.920
<v Speaker 1>I used to do those a lot back in my

0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:54.160
<v Speaker 1>sporting days. It's always fun. Uh yeah, I think I

0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:56.360
<v Speaker 1>would just be Yeah, But I don't get the people

0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:57.560
<v Speaker 1>who are too cool for school.

0:13:57.640 --> 0:13:58.120
<v Speaker 4>I get it.

0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:00.400
<v Speaker 2>You knew you were going you're mad about Seed.

0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:02.920
<v Speaker 1>I just for me, it's like any chance in life

0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:05.600
<v Speaker 1>to celebrate, I'm taking it, even if i'm you know,

0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:08.120
<v Speaker 1>just every moment is an opportunity to be excited.

0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:09.840
<v Speaker 2>Okay, let's move on.

0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:13.920
<v Speaker 1>While we're watching the bracket selection show, m hm, we

0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:16.959
<v Speaker 1>just get a random announcement that Natasha Cloud is headed

0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:19.960
<v Speaker 1>from the Sun to the Liberty. I love the move

0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:23.080
<v Speaker 1>for all the reasons that are not you know, because

0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:26.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm a Liberty or sunfan, just because Tasha is one

0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:28.800
<v Speaker 1>of my favorite players and in New York is a

0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:31.000
<v Speaker 1>fun place for her to be with a great team,

0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:33.160
<v Speaker 1>her style, her vibes everything.

0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:35.640
<v Speaker 2>What are the Sun doing?

0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:39.640
<v Speaker 1>And do we have even more sympathy for Marina Maybury,

0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:41.320
<v Speaker 1>whether or not we think she should be allowed to

0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:45.000
<v Speaker 1>get traded again after demanding out multiple times, but just

0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:47.360
<v Speaker 1>she's like all alone there, like the Fresh Prince meme.

0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:51.680
<v Speaker 3>Honestly, you just gotta talk this season up for Connecticut.

0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:54.840
<v Speaker 3>I you just got those one in the trash can.

0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:58.080
<v Speaker 3>It's it's straight rebuild mode. I don't know what to think.

0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:00.320
<v Speaker 4>If I'm Marina Maybury, I'm like, do I need to

0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:01.280
<v Speaker 4>just sit out?

0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:01.400
<v Speaker 1>Like?

0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:03.880
<v Speaker 3>What what's going on? Is this injury a little bit

0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:04.800
<v Speaker 3>more than I think it is?

0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:08.360
<v Speaker 4>Wink wink. No, I don't know what's going on over there.

0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:09.080
<v Speaker 4>I have no clue.

0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:11.280
<v Speaker 3>But as far as New York goes, you know, I'm

0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:14.440
<v Speaker 3>excited you buried the lead. I'm excited because they made

0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:15.640
<v Speaker 3>the gayest move possible.

0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:19.600
<v Speaker 1>They sent how to put it through my hoops engas

0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:20.560
<v Speaker 1>ship filter.

0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:25.840
<v Speaker 3>Because they said, Tash to New York where her girlfriend

0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:30.640
<v Speaker 3>Isabella Harrison just signed a trading camp contract on February

0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:32.920
<v Speaker 3>twenty first, I missed everything.

0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:36.280
<v Speaker 2>To me, I missed it. Yes, okay, I am behind that.

0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:38.640
<v Speaker 2>This is why we go to you. This is why

0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:40.600
<v Speaker 2>is your account.

0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:44.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's good, okay, yeah, because we don't you know

0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:46.680
<v Speaker 1>what we saw some couples broken up in the name

0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:49.560
<v Speaker 1>of basketball this offseason, so we like a good love

0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:52.440
<v Speaker 1>story where we're getting reunited and it feels so good.

0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:54.320
<v Speaker 3>But it does It does make sense on the court

0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:57.760
<v Speaker 3>as well, though, right because what's been the criticism of Sabrinian.

0:15:57.440 --> 0:15:58.280
<v Speaker 4>School all the time.

0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:02.240
<v Speaker 3>It's the defense in Natasha Cloud brings all that in

0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:04.160
<v Speaker 3>a bag of chips on the defensive end, and then

0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:06.360
<v Speaker 3>you've got the possibility of her taking some of that

0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:09.960
<v Speaker 3>facilitation pressure off of Sabs so she can just hitk

0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:13.080
<v Speaker 3>some threes, throw some domes when she needs to please.

0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:18.800
<v Speaker 1>There. I mean, as far as Marina goes, I will say, like,

0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:22.800
<v Speaker 1>even if it's tempting to chalk this up to a loss,

0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:25.680
<v Speaker 1>with the way the CBA and contracts are going, like,

0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:27.080
<v Speaker 1>she has a reason to.

0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:30.360
<v Speaker 2>Ball out and do her best. She does so she

0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:32.160
<v Speaker 2>might have to all alone.

0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:34.360
<v Speaker 4>Playing horse in the gym.

0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:37.320
<v Speaker 2>I'll get yourself by yourself. Oh man.

0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:40.640
<v Speaker 5>Before we move on from Tosh, can we spend just

0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:43.720
<v Speaker 5>one moment talking about the timing, because it wasn't just

0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:46.520
<v Speaker 5>the bracket reveal show at the same time, it was

0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:51.920
<v Speaker 5>the unrivaled semi finals and I'm not sure why they

0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:54.480
<v Speaker 5>decided to announce then, And I think it's notable that

0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:57.120
<v Speaker 5>it was an announcement and not somebody leaking the news.

0:16:57.160 --> 0:16:59.000
<v Speaker 5>And I think the reason why it was nobody leaking

0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:02.240
<v Speaker 5>the news was because literally all of the women's basketball

0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:09.360
<v Speaker 5>reporters were busy. And I don't know what's to blame, ineptitude, stupidity,

0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:11.560
<v Speaker 5>or like the idea of like, oh, we can like

0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:14.119
<v Speaker 5>make news during a big women's basketball moment, but like

0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:19.600
<v Speaker 5>that's not how these things work, and uh yeah, just strange.

0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:20.520
<v Speaker 2>So true, Alex.

0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:22.679
<v Speaker 1>And honestly, I don't even know that we would know

0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:24.879
<v Speaker 1>if it got leaked because none of us were looking

0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:27.920
<v Speaker 1>for that. We were watching unrivaled playoffs and looking at

0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:30.359
<v Speaker 1>the bracket show. Whether it was leaked and then they

0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:32.640
<v Speaker 1>announced it or they announced it anyway, you would think

0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:35.680
<v Speaker 1>that they would want that official post to come at

0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:39.120
<v Speaker 1>a different time, and they didn't, And it's anyone's guess

0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:41.639
<v Speaker 1>as to why. I mean, I would think the Liberty

0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:43.440
<v Speaker 1>would want to soak up a little more attention.

0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:46.639
<v Speaker 3>I don't know that that's the point I disagree on,

0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:49.840
<v Speaker 3>because the Liberty in terms of you remember the super

0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:52.520
<v Speaker 3>team narrative that started with Vegas that first year they

0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:54.800
<v Speaker 3>won the championship in the second one. New York was

0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:57.160
<v Speaker 3>so like, don't give that to us, please, we don't

0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:59.359
<v Speaker 3>want to keep us out of We just want to

0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:03.080
<v Speaker 3>have our book club and get on the court and play.

0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:05.360
<v Speaker 3>And then because they've got a lot of soft spoken

0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:07.840
<v Speaker 3>kind of people, and it also feels like that carries

0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:10.080
<v Speaker 3>over into the front office as well. So I think

0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:13.000
<v Speaker 3>maybe the Liberty are just like hustlers, move in silence, like.

0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:15.800
<v Speaker 4>We're the Sun. I can't speak for them, but New.

0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:18.200
<v Speaker 1>York, right, I think we all understand why the Sun

0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:20.600
<v Speaker 1>might not want it to be heavily publicized that they

0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:24.000
<v Speaker 1>have sent away yet to another player. But yeah, for

0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:25.960
<v Speaker 1>the Liberty, it's possible that they're just like, don't talk

0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:27.520
<v Speaker 1>about how much talent we're getting.

0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:30.879
<v Speaker 2>Just speak quiet, we don't We'll fly under the radar here,

0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:31.600
<v Speaker 2>look at Ellie.

0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:36.400
<v Speaker 1>Yes, all right, y'all, we got to talk merch because

0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:39.960
<v Speaker 1>yesterday's show we made the big reveal that we finally

0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:43.240
<v Speaker 1>have the merch that fans have been clamoring for all.

0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:45.720
<v Speaker 2>The slices in our men cheese. When's the merch?

0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:50.119
<v Speaker 1>Shraps, It's here, and it's on Breakingtea dot Com. Slash

0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:53.679
<v Speaker 1>Spain is where you can go. I also posted it

0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:55.560
<v Speaker 1>on my social with links. We'll put it in the

0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:59.960
<v Speaker 1>show notes again. But yeah, I'm excited. I'm like Jenu,

0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:02.440
<v Speaker 1>I think I might scream when I'm walking down the

0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:04.320
<v Speaker 1>street if I see someone wearing one of our shirts.

0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:06.760
<v Speaker 5>Sure, I haven't even thought about that possibility.

0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:07.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:19:07.960 --> 0:19:10.399
<v Speaker 1>So I went to one of the NWSL games I

0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:11.760
<v Speaker 1>went to, I want to say, it might have been

0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:14.960
<v Speaker 1>the championship game of the Red Stars and the Spirit

0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:17.639
<v Speaker 1>at the in Louisville in twenty twenty one. But there

0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:22.639
<v Speaker 1>was a girl wearing a shirt that said Mina and Sarah,

0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:25.680
<v Speaker 1>I want to say, and Katie and somebody else, and

0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:28.520
<v Speaker 1>it was all women from ESPN that she was a

0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:28.840
<v Speaker 1>fan of.

0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:32.080
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, that's me. She was like it

0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:33.560
<v Speaker 2>is you, Oh my god. And I was like, oh

0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:35.760
<v Speaker 2>my god, this is the coolest thing. Did you have that, Maide?

0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:36.960
<v Speaker 2>And she was like I did, And I'm like.

0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:37.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god.

0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:41.200
<v Speaker 5>Wait it was a custom shirt, yes, Like it.

0:19:41.119 --> 0:19:43.320
<v Speaker 1>Was like those shirts that have like the name and

0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:46.800
<v Speaker 1>her sand and you know, and she had it custom made,

0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:49.160
<v Speaker 1>and like I was more excited to take a.

0:19:49.119 --> 0:19:51.760
<v Speaker 2>Picture with her that she was to take a picture with.

0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:56.159
<v Speaker 1>That's so funny it was Mina and Katie and Sarah

0:19:56.200 --> 0:19:59.479
<v Speaker 1>and Alison. This was Katie Nolan, Mina Chimes, and then

0:19:59.520 --> 0:20:02.879
<v Speaker 1>Allison was on The Levatar Show, and yeah, I was

0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:04.840
<v Speaker 1>like losing my mind. So I feel like it's gonna

0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:06.760
<v Speaker 1>be that feeling when we like are walking down the

0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:07.360
<v Speaker 1>street and we.

0:20:07.320 --> 0:20:09.520
<v Speaker 2>See a good game, good game for you, just strolling

0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:10.040
<v Speaker 2>towards us.

0:20:10.119 --> 0:20:11.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's gonna be crazy.

0:20:11.680 --> 0:20:13.840
<v Speaker 3>That's gonna be so wild because the one I've never

0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:16.040
<v Speaker 3>had anybody obviously wear my merch because I've never had

0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:18.879
<v Speaker 3>any merch. But I remember being at the end of

0:20:18.960 --> 0:20:21.920
<v Speaker 3>USLE Championship in Kansas City and running into certified sly

0:20:22.040 --> 0:20:24.080

0:20:31.560 --> 0:20:31.960
<v Speaker 4>be wild.

0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:35.040
<v Speaker 2>That's yeah, I'm very excited.

0:20:35.280 --> 0:20:38.199
<v Speaker 1>Uh. And also I love that somebody already blue skied,

0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:40.560
<v Speaker 1>so I guess skeated as we're calling it, even though

0:20:40.720 --> 0:20:44.320
<v Speaker 1>don't google that or not look it up, please, I

0:20:44.320 --> 0:20:46.320

<v Speaker 5>Also, the shirts are so comfortable. Yeah, somebody that is

0:20:55.080 --> 0:20:58.280
<v Speaker 5>kind of a snob about comfy t shirts, you know,

0:20:58.400 --> 0:21:01.240
<v Speaker 5>like when bars hand up free tea shirts, I'm like, okay,

0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:34.000
<v Speaker 1>women's sports questions. They always include just men's men's sports.

0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:36.720
<v Speaker 5>So no, they don't ask any sports questions, which is

0:21:36.760 --> 0:21:38.920
<v Speaker 5>why I go to it because I do not want

0:21:39.000 --> 0:21:42.400
<v Speaker 5>them asking sports questions that I can't answer.

0:21:42.320 --> 0:21:43.000
<v Speaker 2>On the men's side.

0:21:43.040 --> 0:21:45.720
<v Speaker 1>Got it, Well, I still think ask me about women's

0:21:45.720 --> 0:21:46.800
<v Speaker 1>sports at your trivia.

0:21:46.600 --> 0:21:47.439
<v Speaker 2>Night is a good one.

0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:49.760
<v Speaker 1>I feel like that shirt in particular for all of

0:21:49.840 --> 0:21:52.080
<v Speaker 1>March madness. If you order it right now and it

0:21:52.119 --> 0:21:53.719
<v Speaker 1>comes in time for you to be at the bars

0:21:54.280 --> 0:21:55.960
<v Speaker 1>and you're like, yeah, let me tell you about Juju,

0:21:56.040 --> 0:21:57.840
<v Speaker 1>let me tell you about Page, let me tell you

0:21:57.840 --> 0:22:01.720
<v Speaker 1>about South Carolina. Right already said, I'm just gonna wear

0:22:01.760 --> 0:22:03.639
<v Speaker 1>that at work every day at the register. So if

0:22:03.640 --> 0:22:05.840
<v Speaker 1>people don't already know how I feel, they'll ask me,

0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:07.840
<v Speaker 1>and then I'll tell them about how much I love

0:22:07.840 --> 0:22:10.399
<v Speaker 1>women's sports. So shout out to Breaking Tea, thank you

0:22:10.400 --> 0:22:12.680
<v Speaker 1>for that collab. We're so excited about it. And then

0:22:12.720 --> 0:22:16.160
<v Speaker 1>the last thing, starch Madness. We are about to make

0:22:16.160 --> 0:22:18.359
<v Speaker 1>this bracket, so get your recipes in. It's like the

0:22:18.440 --> 0:22:21.159
<v Speaker 1>last day I would say to send us submissions for this.

0:22:21.200 --> 0:22:23.280
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna make the bracket, and then I'm going to

0:22:23.320 --> 0:22:24.320
<v Speaker 1>cook the final four.

0:22:25.000 --> 0:22:30.200
<v Speaker 2>So far i've gotten some really to cook the final four. Yeah,

0:22:30.200 --> 0:22:31.600
<v Speaker 2>you know me cross them up.

0:22:32.000 --> 0:22:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Uh No. So one of them that we got was

0:22:34.640 --> 0:22:36.960
<v Speaker 1>funeral potatoes, which I've heard about a million times that

0:22:37.040 --> 0:22:40.240
<v Speaker 1>haven't eaten. So I'm very excited, very Midwestern dish. And

0:22:40.280 --> 0:22:43.399
<v Speaker 1>there's actually like a restaurant slash catering thing here in

0:22:43.480 --> 0:22:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Chicago that went kind of viral called funeral Potatoes. And

0:22:46.520 --> 0:22:48.200
<v Speaker 1>I've always been like I gotta I gotta.

0:22:48.000 --> 0:22:49.040
<v Speaker 2>Make that so that one's in there.

0:22:49.240 --> 0:22:51.640
<v Speaker 1>Obviously, potato corn chowder is going to be my jam

0:22:51.840 --> 0:22:56.159
<v Speaker 1>Greek potatoes, So send the recipes, even the quirky ones.

0:22:56.600 --> 0:22:59.399
<v Speaker 1>Because Panda with Cookie, who I mentioned earlier in the

0:22:59.400 --> 0:23:02.639
<v Speaker 1>show on Blue Guy, they sent me a mildly unhinged

0:23:02.680 --> 0:23:06.280
<v Speaker 1>recipe that involves a potato and a power drill. I'm sorry,

0:23:06.400 --> 0:23:10.840
<v Speaker 1>I need details, please, it, I believe originally as a

0:23:10.880 --> 0:23:13.440
<v Speaker 1>regular hot dog, but thankfully they amended that and made

0:23:13.440 --> 0:23:15.200
<v Speaker 1>it a veggie dog. But somehow you're supposed to get

0:23:15.200 --> 0:23:18.960
<v Speaker 1>a veggie dog into the core of a potato and

0:23:19.000 --> 0:23:23.080
<v Speaker 1>then put it over the campfire. But pandawith Cookie basically

0:23:23.119 --> 0:23:25.400
<v Speaker 1>explains that, like, even the power drill didn't really work

0:23:25.440 --> 0:23:27.000
<v Speaker 1>and it's hard to do so, Connie, you have to

0:23:27.040 --> 0:23:29.320
<v Speaker 1>just make the potato separately and then add the dog

0:23:29.320 --> 0:23:30.560
<v Speaker 1>and the chili and the other stuff later.

0:23:30.880 --> 0:23:32.000
<v Speaker 2>But they closed with this.

0:23:32.720 --> 0:23:34.960
<v Speaker 1>After listening to Friday's episode of My Walk this morning,

0:23:35.000 --> 0:23:37.600
<v Speaker 1>I realized that this might be an underdog entry.

0:23:38.119 --> 0:23:40.600
<v Speaker 2>Is the potato the star in this dish? Perhaps not?

0:23:41.280 --> 0:23:42.520
<v Speaker 2>Is this even a recipe?

0:23:42.640 --> 0:23:44.920
<v Speaker 1>Not really, I didn't even tell you how to make

0:23:44.960 --> 0:23:47.879
<v Speaker 1>the chili because I was regularly on potato duty. But

0:23:47.960 --> 0:23:50.800
<v Speaker 1>does anyone remember that Kansas won the men's tournament in

0:23:50.800 --> 0:23:51.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty two?

0:23:51.880 --> 0:23:54.040
<v Speaker 2>No, and them, I bleed Carolina blue.

0:23:54.160 --> 0:23:58.119
<v Speaker 1>People remember Saint Peter's Cinderella run in twenty twenty three?

0:23:58.320 --> 0:24:00.800
<v Speaker 2>You know FD you believe it not Yukon.

0:24:01.280 --> 0:24:03.200
<v Speaker 1>This reference, by the way, to everyone is to men's

0:24:03.240 --> 0:24:06.520
<v Speaker 1>hoops sixteen seeds after you fairly Dickinson taking out number

0:24:06.560 --> 0:24:09.800
<v Speaker 1>one perdue will allow it. Anyway back to pandit with cookie.

0:24:10.040 --> 0:24:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Tater pigs are not the star. They are a fourteen

0:24:13.760 --> 0:24:19.400
<v Speaker 1>seed upset experience my drop. Okay, So honestly, we might

0:24:19.520 --> 0:24:21.440
<v Speaker 1>just allow the tater pigs into the bracket.

0:24:21.800 --> 0:24:23.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm just gonna neat to find a drill.

0:24:23.119 --> 0:24:24.360
<v Speaker 4>The committee can take liberties.

0:24:25.000 --> 0:24:29.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, Honestly, as somebody that hates cooking but loves woodworking

0:24:29.119 --> 0:24:31.680
<v Speaker 5>and other types of DIY projects like this is my

0:24:31.840 --> 0:24:32.479
<v Speaker 5>kind of recipe.

0:24:32.480 --> 0:24:34.919
<v Speaker 2>Here you go. If tater pigs make it.

0:24:35.000 --> 0:24:37.040
<v Speaker 1>Potentially, I will read the rest of the email because

0:24:37.080 --> 0:24:41.159
<v Speaker 1>I was laughing throughout about the drill and being in

0:24:41.160 --> 0:24:43.600
<v Speaker 1>the middle of camping and attempting to cook everything like

0:24:43.760 --> 0:24:48.199
<v Speaker 1>it's good stuff. But send your recipes. Time is running out. Meiche, Alex.

0:24:48.240 --> 0:24:52.000
<v Speaker 1>If you have a tremendous darch based recipe you're hiding, Alex,

0:24:52.040 --> 0:24:54.439
<v Speaker 1>sounds more like you're hiding how to make a table.

0:24:54.960 --> 0:24:56.480
<v Speaker 5>I hide potatoes in my garden.

0:24:56.680 --> 0:24:59.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I bet you do. Is that a euphemism? We

0:24:59.160 --> 0:25:04.960
<v Speaker 2>don't have to get into it, please, Okay, we gotta

0:25:05.000 --> 0:25:07.080
<v Speaker 2>take a break when we come back.

0:25:07.160 --> 0:25:18.240
<v Speaker 1>The Goat parade continues welcome backslices. Yesterday we revealed Slice

0:25:18.240 --> 0:25:22.479
<v Speaker 1>Amanda Valos the Good Game Goat Team bracket challenge, and

0:25:22.520 --> 0:25:24.520
<v Speaker 1>we shared the left side of the bracket, so today

0:25:24.600 --> 0:25:27.640
<v Speaker 1>the right side, top right of the bracket. Number one,

0:25:27.920 --> 0:25:31.760
<v Speaker 1>the Magnificent seven ninety six US Olympic Gymnastics team Kerry

0:25:31.760 --> 0:25:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Strug nailed the vault on a badly injured ankle, sacrificing

0:25:34.920 --> 0:25:38.159
<v Speaker 1>the individual for team's success, and then got cradle carried

0:25:38.200 --> 0:25:42.159
<v Speaker 1>off the mat, leading to important conversations about athletes advocating

0:25:42.160 --> 0:25:44.879
<v Speaker 1>for their own bodies and safety. Perhaps this set the

0:25:44.920 --> 0:25:49.000
<v Speaker 1>foundation for Simone Biles speaking up about the Twisties versus

0:25:49.320 --> 0:25:53.800
<v Speaker 1>number four, the Trifecta. This was an ESPN radio show

0:25:53.840 --> 0:25:55.720
<v Speaker 1>for those of you who don't remember, and I appreciate

0:25:55.760 --> 0:25:58.639
<v Speaker 1>that Amanda is boldly kissing up to me in making

0:25:58.640 --> 0:26:01.480
<v Speaker 1>this an entry in the bracket. Sarah Spain, Kate Fagan,

0:26:01.560 --> 0:26:05.040
<v Speaker 1>Jane McManus taking on and taking out Ryan Rossillo and

0:26:05.080 --> 0:26:07.600
<v Speaker 1>other ill prepared men trying to have no takes on

0:26:07.680 --> 0:26:08.960
<v Speaker 1>women's sports topics.

0:26:09.640 --> 0:26:11.840
<v Speaker 2>Ah the hellcy on Days of the Trifecta.

0:26:12.080 --> 0:26:15.560
<v Speaker 1>Number two US Women's Hockey twenty eighteen, who won gold

0:26:15.880 --> 0:26:18.600
<v Speaker 1>defeating Canada in a three to two shootout, sending their

0:26:18.640 --> 0:26:22.199
<v Speaker 1>fiercest rival home as first losers. That is one of

0:26:22.200 --> 0:26:24.800
<v Speaker 1>my all time favorite teams and games that I have

0:26:24.920 --> 0:26:27.840
<v Speaker 1>ever watched. They take on Number three Misty May trainer

0:26:27.880 --> 0:26:31.800
<v Speaker 1>and Carrie Walsh Jennings the Beach Vib's partnership for the Ages,

0:26:31.840 --> 0:26:34.720
<v Speaker 1>the only team male or female to win three Olympic

0:26:34.760 --> 0:26:38.600
<v Speaker 1>gold medals. Their partnership lasted ten plus years, which is

0:26:38.640 --> 0:26:41.920
<v Speaker 1>longer than most marriages. And the bottom right of the bracket.

0:26:42.240 --> 0:26:45.320
<v Speaker 1>Number one Houston Comets. They won the first four WNBA

0:26:45.400 --> 0:26:49.040
<v Speaker 1>championships and are credited as the first dynasty of the league.

0:26:49.160 --> 0:26:53.320
<v Speaker 1>Teresa Edwards, Cheryl Swoops, Lisa Leslie, Don Staley, Mike Drop.

0:26:53.840 --> 0:26:56.920
<v Speaker 1>They take on Number four Alana Meyers, Taylor, and all

0:26:56.960 --> 0:26:59.760
<v Speaker 1>of for bob sled pushers. In addition to crushing a

0:26:59.800 --> 0:27:04.040
<v Speaker 1>good game interview Natch, notable highlights include rocketing the Olympic

0:27:04.080 --> 0:27:06.120
<v Speaker 1>bobs led across the finish line for a metal while

0:27:06.200 --> 0:27:11.000
<v Speaker 1>pregnant and again shortly after giving birth. Number two Yukon

0:27:11.240 --> 0:27:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Stewie Era had a dominance so strong the topic of

0:27:14.240 --> 0:27:17.480
<v Speaker 1>conversation was are they so good they're bad for competitive basketball?

0:27:17.880 --> 0:27:21.959
<v Speaker 1>Versus number three US women's wheelchair basketball team Rio twenty

0:27:21.960 --> 0:27:25.600
<v Speaker 1>sixteen gold medal winners, winning the final by seventeen points

0:27:25.880 --> 0:27:28.159
<v Speaker 1>and boasting a roster with a two sport paralympian.

0:27:28.520 --> 0:27:30.080
<v Speaker 2>That's a flex all right.

0:27:30.160 --> 0:27:32.280
<v Speaker 1>Now you got the full bracket, some of the greatest

0:27:32.280 --> 0:27:35.320
<v Speaker 1>teams of all time in the women's sports space, and

<v Speaker 1>one crazed moose.

0:27:37.920 --> 0:27:39.800
<v Speaker 2>If you don't get that, listen to yesterday's show.

0:27:40.080 --> 0:27:42.240
