1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: Welcome to Good Game with Sarah Spain, where we're pouring

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: out a Moulson and blocking the US women's national team

3
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: on social media in honor of Canadian legend Christine Sinclair

4
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: hell of a career sink. It's Monday, November eleventh, and

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 1: on today's show, we'll react to the weekend's NWSL quarterfinal matches,

6
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: announce some upcoming show field trips, and talk travel quirks

7
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: and peeves. Plus the Hockey Gaze lighted up and Coco

8
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 1: Cash is in. It's all coming up right after this

9
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: Welcome back, Happy Monday slices. Here's what you need to

10
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 1: know today. Let's start with the NWSL, where the semi

11
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: finals are set following four quarterfinal matchups over the weekend. First,

12
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: on Friday, the Orlando Pride defeated the visiting Chicago Red

13
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: Stars four to one, with Barbara Banda scoring abrace and Marta, Yes,

14
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: the legendary Marta, scoring her first ever NWSL playoff goal

15
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: thanks to a penalty in the fifty sixth minute. Now,

16
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: this dat says a lot more about our Lando than

17
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: it does about Marta, given that this is the Pride's

18
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: first NWSL playoff appearance since twenty seventeen, when the Brazilian

19
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: star joined the team. On Saturday, the Kansas City current

20
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 1: squeaked past North Carolina with a one nil win. You

21
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: might recall producer Misha's big bold prediction entering the weekend

22
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: was that Golden Boot winner tem With Chiwinga would record

23
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: a hat trick in that one, and while that didn't happen,

24
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 1: it was, of course Chiwinga who scored the only goal

25
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: of the game, which came in the eighth minute. After

26
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: the match, Kansas City head coach blat co Endadovski criticized

27
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: how other teams have quote targeted Chiwinga this season.

28
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 2: Take a lessen yeah, I mean, first, in terms of

29
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 2: being physical with Timoa, it's something that it wasn't just

30
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,559
Speaker 2: his game. If you look look at the season, every game,

31
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 2: it's they're overly physical against her and it's not fair.

32
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 2: It's not fair for Temoa.

33
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 3: They're targeting her. I mean, they're going directly at her,

34
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 3: and I just hope that as we go forward she

35
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 3: gets more protection from the referees.

36
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: We'll keep an eye on that. In the Semis. Sunday's

37
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: doubleheader started with a chippy, physical match between the Washington

38
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: Spirit and expansion side BAFC. BFC forward Assado Oshwala kicked

39
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: off the scoring in the eighty second minute, but the

40
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: Washington Spirit got an answer just four minutes later, a

41
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: rocket from defender Tara mickeyawon to tie things up. The

42
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: Spirits Hal Hirschfeldt sent in a screamer with seconds remaining

43
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: in regulation, but it dinged off the crossbar, so we

44
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 1: got some free soccer in the first period of extra time.

45
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: A painful own goal from BFC's Capriest did Asco in

46
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: the ninety sixth minute put the Spirit up two to one,

47
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: and that score stuck. Spirit get the comeback win and

48
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: they advance fun fact about this one. So attendance and

49
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 1: Audi field for the Spirit's last home playoff game back

00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: on Twitter posted that Tara McKeown had to miss her

55
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,639

Speaker 1: weekend pitted number three got them FC against number six

57
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,800

00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: first NWSL goal the season, scoring for got them in

59
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: the sixty seventh minute, but in the seventy fifth minute

60
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: Raylan Turner even it up on a beauty of a

61
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: set piece goal. Olivia Moultrie sent in a perfect ball

62
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: and Turner sent it in with her head. The nineteen

63
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: year old Moultrie is the youngest player ever to record

64
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 1: an assist in an NWSL playoff game. So we're all

65
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: tied up and Rose Lavelle becomes the heroin this one,

66
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: as her goal in stoppage time put got them up

68
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: their dreams of repeating alive. Lavelle's tally the latest in

69
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: regulation in an NWSL playoff game ever, an all time

70

Speaker 1: and to witness the final game in the incredible career

73
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: of Christine Sinclair. The Canadian legend subbed out in the

00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: sixty fourth minute and could only watch as her team

75

Speaker 1: thought I Was Dead, in which he raps quote you

96
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 1: appreciate a man with taste. The rest of Goff's tweet

97

98
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,480

Speaker 1: eight oh five million dollars. Dang, Coco, can we borrow

104
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: a dollar? The WTA Finals is the vital individual event

105
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: on the tennis calendar each year, but we've still got

106
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,520

113
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: South Carolina is still unblemished early on the game. Cocks

Speaker 1: picked up a win over number nine NC State on

126
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: points and five assists for Brenda Freese's squad. It was

127
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,559
Speaker 1: the first edition of the rivalry matchup between the teams

128
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: since the NCAA Sweet sixteen on March twenty eighth of

129
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, but it was their eighty second meeting all time,

130
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: and both schools now have forty one wins in the

131
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: head to head series. We also want to say a

132
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: huge congratulations to former Stanford head coach Tara Vanderveer, who

133
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: retired last spring, and ahead of Sunday's home game against Gonzaga,

134
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: the Cardinal dedicated their home court to Vanderveer, who led

135
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: the program for thirty eight years and is still the

136
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: winningest coach in NCAA history, ahead of Yukonton head coach

137
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: Gino Oriema and former Duke men's basketball coach Mike Shuzhevski.

138
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: Un rank Stanford cruise to a victory in that game

139
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: over Gonzaga, eighty nine fifty eight to hockey or should

140
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: I say pucks in gaish it. The US women's national

141
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: team in Canada have been trading blows in the twenty

142
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: twenty four to twenty five rivalry series, a five game competition.

143
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: The US took the first game handily on Wednesday, winning

144
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: seven to two, but Canada answered back, winning game two

145
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: on Friday five to four. In an epic shootout. It

146
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: was tied one to one in the second period and

147
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: Canada pulled away for a four to one lead thanks

148
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: to goals from newlyweds Marie Philippe Pulen and Laura Stacey

149
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: and fellow gay Aaron Ambrose, but Team USA managed an

150
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: epic comeback, with Hillary Knight scoring the game time with

151
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: just one minute twenty six seconds left in regulation. Pulan

152
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: added another in the shootout, with seventeen year old teammate

153
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: Chloe Primorano sealing the deal for Canada. Canada technically won

154
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: the game, but we think Team LGBTQA plus was the

155
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: real winner in this one. The two rivals met again

156
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: on Sunday, with Canada pulling out another win to lead

157
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: the series two games to one. We'll have more on

158
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: that matchup tomorrow. Finally, shout out to Love Pro Volleyball.

159
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: The new Women's Professional Volleyball League starts preseason today, with

160
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: the regular season getting underway in January. All right, slices,

161
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: we're going to get into the x's and o's of

162
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: the NWSL playoffs more tomorrow, but quickly, Mesh. You were

163
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: actually at the Spirit game yesterday, so tell us about it.

164
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: Atmosphere vibes, take us to Audifield.

165
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, sir, that was the most people

166
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 4: I've seen in that part of Southwest DC in a

167
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 4: very long time. But it was a great, great atmosphere.

168
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,359
Speaker 4: Everybody had different color terrible.

169
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: Not terrible towels. We don't like the Steelers over here,

170
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: Riley towels.

171
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 4: I didn't realize there was going to be a black

172
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 4: and lightning kind of situation. My colors for the Washington

173
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 4: s beer were always red and blue. I thought that

174
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 4: was still the case, and so I've been away for

175
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 4: too long. But it was basically a blackout. The stands

176
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 4: were full to the brim. There were babies and strollers

177
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 4: and grown people acting a fool. Both my parents came

178
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 4: with me. It was their first trip to Audiefield, and

179
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 4: it was electric. I had to coach them through this

180
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 4: is not quite like basketball. They're not going to score

181
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 4: every two seconds. But when that first goal went in, Sarah,

182
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 4: that that place you erupted and it was one of

183
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 4: the most magical moments I've experienced in a while.

184
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: That's so fun. I love you going with your parents.

185
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: That's really cool. I want to talk college hoops too,

186
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 1: because it's early in the season, which means we're not

187
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: going to cover every single game, and we're watching a

188
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: lot of teams just still finding their groove. Also, a

189
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: lot of cupcake games on the schedule. Right now, early on,

190
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: so we're seeing a lot of blowouts. But there are

191
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: blowouts and then there are SmackDown shall ackings, and USC

192
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: had one of the latter over the weekend, defeating cal

193
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: Poly ninety to thirty five the Trojan one on a

194
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 1: twenty eight to nothing run in the early minutes of

195
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: the contest. They finished the quarter leading forty to six.

196
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: So we're thinking to ourselves as we're watching fifty five

197
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 1: point victory, that's got to be the biggest blowout of

198
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 1: this early season right now. Now. A week ago, Grambling

199
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: State defeated Centenary College one hundred and thirty one to

200
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: thirty to open up their schedule one hundred and thirty

201
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: one to thirty. And Grambling actually boasts an even bigger

202
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: scoring margin, the biggest in NCAA women's basketball history. In

203
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: January of this year, they defeated the College of Biblical

204
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: Studies one hundred and fifty nine to eighteen. That is

205
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: a one hundred and forty one point margin. That is

206
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: truly what you call a biblical loss. Sorry, College to

207
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: Biblical Studies, Misch, you played college ball? Did you play

208
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: in any blowouts like this? Nothing quite like that.

209
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 4: In fact, I'm pretty sure we beat a couple of

210
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 4: teams by like thirty plus thirty piece them, which was

211
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,479
Speaker 4: maybe the biggest margin of victory.

212
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: In my college career. But I was on the bench for.

213
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 4: Both of those games because I was out for the

214
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 4: season with an achilles injury, so it wasn't super fun

215
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 4: to wow, very boring.

216
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: I just feel bad for teams in those instances. I

217
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: really don't get excited about breaking records or setting new

218
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: scoring marks. I'm just like, this isn't really the same

219
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: sport at this point, so I just feel bad for

220
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: the other team, unless their team's getting paid a bucket

221
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: load to show up, Like sometimes in like men's sports,

222
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 1: you'll pay a team like two million dollars to show

223
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: up and get their ass beat, and it's like, all right, fine,

224
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: that's going to help the program. I don't think the

225
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: College of Biblical Studies is getting much help from that

226
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,079
Speaker 1: beat down, other than you know, learning that the power

227
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: of prayer isn't going to work for you every time.

228
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: Alex field hockey in high school. I feel like we

229
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 1: had a couple, you know, like six or seven nothing

230
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: games against some bad teams, but not nearly as many

231
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: blowouts as on the basketball side, how about you.

232
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 5: My college team, we were on the receiving and.

233
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 6: The giving end.

234
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: Oh no, a couple of blowouts.

235
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 5: On the receiving end my freshman and sophomore year, the

236
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 5: giving end my junior year and senior year. And my

237
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 5: coach though, had a rule that we could not run

238
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 5: up the score beyond eight zero, And honestly, that was

239
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 5: harder than just scoring more goals because it was like

240
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 5: playing keep away and you felt really bad, And honestly,

241
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 5: in retrospect, I think it's sometimes more disrespectful to not score.

242
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: Completely agree, Yeah, don't show bote if you know, if

243
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 1: you're really talented and the other team's bad, don't take

244
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: it all the way up the field solo and then

245
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: score repeatedly. Use the team play, practice your passing set up,

246
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: you know, practice your corners, things like that. But don't

247
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: not shoot and score if it's clear that you could.

248
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: That's worse for the team that you're playing against. In

249
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: my opinion, yeah, agree, But it's.

250
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 4: Like at the end of the day, guys, it's it's

251
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 4: a lose lose like for the losing team and the

252
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 4: winning team. Sometimes because I can remember, not necessarily in

253
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 4: college but in AAU and like travel, we would be

254
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 4: given teams to shillakin. Parents want to fight in stands

255
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 4: whether we pull back or we keep scoring.

256
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: So you know, that's on those parents though, for not understanding.

257
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: And I am always of the opinion anytime someone tries

258
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 1: to say, oh, well, the reason I tried to fight

259
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: them or I did this is because I was mad

260
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: that at the end of the game they were still playing,

261
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: even though technically and it's like, it's a game you

262
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: play from the beginning to the end. And as long

263
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: as you're not like crazy show voting or insanely over

264
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: the top with it or really rude about it, just

265
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: keep playing. Just keep playing the game. Whether you're winning

266
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: or you're losing. Your responsibility is to play until the

267
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: buzzer runs out. And when people bitch about that, I'm like,

268
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: find a new hobby. Sports ain't for you. There's winners,

269
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: there's losers. Suck it up. That's how I feel about that.

270
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: But I do feel bad for the losing team. College

271
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: of Biblical Studies, Like I said, this is a biblical loss.

272
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 1: All right, We're gonna take a quick break. When we

273
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: come back, sit or stand, hang back or hover all

274
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: of our travel habits and pet Peeves revealed before our

275
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: show field trips. It's coming up. We're back and so

276
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: are you? Love that for us? As we mentioned earlier

277
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 1: in the show, we're taking a couple show field trips.

278
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: Alex and I are headed to Spain to cover the

279
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: Billie Jean Kingcup, and then I'm gonna meet up with

280
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: Misha in Case for the NWSL Championship weekend. Misha and

281
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: I actually got to hang in Phoenix for WNBA All Star,

282
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: which is a blast. But Alex and I will be

283
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: meeting in person for the very first time on foreign

284
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: soil in Malaga. In Malaga, I'm gonna learn how to

285
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: say the name of the place we're going before we

286
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: go there. But let's talk about travel. So, Alex, do

287
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: you have any quirky travel habits? I can almost guarantee

288
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: the answer will be yes.

289
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 6: Oh, of course I do.

290
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 5: I actually think I have one that's pretty common, but

291
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 5: no one talks about it, which is once I get

292
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 5: through security, even if I have two hours until my

293
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 5: flight and I want to use the bathroom, I want

294
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 5: to get food, I have to go see the gate

295
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 5: before I do those things.

296
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: Of course, you have to go say hello to your gate,

297
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: not just because it's like just part of the ritual,

298
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: but because every once in a while you'll go and

299
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: it will be like Australia and you're like, wait a minute,

300
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: that's not right. Let me double check, and like your

301
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: gate has been moved and you're like, thank god I

302
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: stopped by to.

303
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 5: Say hello, right, Or sometimes it says Australia because you

304
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 5: got there so far in advance that there is still

305
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 5: a flight leaving to Australia before your own flight two

306
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 5: hours later.

307
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: That rarely happens to me because I have a perfect

308
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: setup system where I arrive at the exact correct time

309
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: and I'm never running a La Holly Row. But I

310
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: am also never just sitting digging around wasting my time

311
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: because I've got a system down. Alex, you strike me

312
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: as someone who would get there a few hours early,

313
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: just in case.

314
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 6: I actually like getting there a lot closer.

315
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 4: Though.

316
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 5: My TSA pre check ran out recently, and so now

317
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 5: I've got to give myself a little bit of extra

318
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 5: wiggle ram.

319
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: Wow, that was a shocker, Mesh, you just backed away

320
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: from the mice. You're so shocked, I feel like Meish

321
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: is also like, let me, just get there five hours early.

322
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to be stressed about it. I am

323
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: my father's daughter.

324
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 4: And what I mean by that is he struck fear

325
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 4: in my heart from the age of eleven when I

326
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 4: took my first plane ride quote unquote by myself. He

327
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 4: was behind me and I didn't realize. Maybe one day

328
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 4: I'll tell you that story slices amazing. But I get

329
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 4: there two hours early. I cannot.

330
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: I can't. I've never missed a flight. I can't.

331
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 4: And then the other quirk for me is I'm a

332
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 4: severe overpacker. It's so bad. It's really I don't know

333
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 4: how many pairs of underwear I'm gonna need for three days,

334
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 4: because you don't know what's gonna happen over the.

335
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: Course of those three days with your underwear specifically or

336
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: just in general. I mean that specifically because you need

337
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: to be prepared.

338
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 4: Okay, fair, but definitely there early, and definitely I've got

339
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 4: everything you need.

340
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 5: I once saw a video, I think on Instagram of

341
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 5: somebody packing underwear for a trip, and the way that

342
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 5: they described it was like, I have never once shpit pants,

343
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 5: And when I pack underwear for a trip, I pack

344
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 5: as though I'm going to shit my pants every day

345
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 5: I am there.

346
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you're always better off with too many pairs

347
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 1: than yes, very true. Better Also, my husband and I

348
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: went to a friend's wedding in Italy, and I won't

349
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 1: belabor how awful everything was, but essentially there was a thunderstorm.

350
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: They put the bags on the tarmac. They forgot them

351
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: on the tarmac. Despite the delay, they sat in the

352
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: pouring rain. They never made it. On our flight that

353
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 1: got changed to a different location. We landed there, it

354
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: was late at night. I accidentally hit the skip highways

355
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 1: on the Italian language GPS, so we skipped the highways

356
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: driving to Venice at two in the morning, and we

357
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: were just going along little town roundabouts passing literal prostitutes

358
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: at two in the morning. Why is this taking so long?

359
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: I don't remember this route from last time. Got to Venice,

360
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: woke up. The alarm system in the hotel was broken

361
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: for the entire hotel, so nobody got a wake up call.

362
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 1: So now it's like three pm Italian time when we

363
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: finally wake up. The jeans that I wore on the plane,

364
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 1: which were the only pair of pants I had because

365
00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: our luggage didn't make it had a hole in the

366
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 1: crotch because it was back when I used to always

367
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 1: wear those seven jeans that when they finally blew, it

368
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: was always right in the crotch. So we had the

369
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 1: same underwear we'd been wearing for two and a half

370
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 1: full days. I had a hole in my jeans and

371
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: were in Venice. So my options are either Louis Vuitton

372
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 1: or dressed like a fucking gondola guy. Right, so we

373
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: have to go buy contact lenses, underwear. I gotta buy

374
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: bras and they're like, what size are you? In Italian?

375
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't know whatever your grandma hanging out

376
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 1: a window wears, because I got big old boobs and

377
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: you guys are all tiny here. It was a mess

378
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: and a disaster. And so now when I fly, if

379
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: I have to check a bag, which I try my

380
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: best not to no matter how long I'm gone for,

381
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: I put in several pairs of underwear and a full

382
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 1: ass change of clothes, all of my makeup and toilet

383
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: trees in the bag with me so that there is

384
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: no way I land in a foreign country and have

385
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 1: to try to buy an entire fleet of makeup and

386
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 1: everything else, Especially when I'm going to be in a

387
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: wedding where my two hundred and fifty dollars teal one

388
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: shoulder bridesmaid's dress never arrives, and it said I have

389
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 1: to go shopping and find a black dress that looked

390
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,199
Speaker 1: like I'm someone who's like in mourning for the entirety

391
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: of my life and refuses to wear color other than black.

392
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 1: And then my husband wears, unintentioned the same outfit as

393
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: all the waiters. So that was a good time.

394
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 4: Well, I think the moral of that story is I'm right.

395
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 4: And also the unwritten rule there with the overpains with

396
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 4: you onto the plane. That's also like, I think a

397
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 4: thing from back in college because I had teammates who

398
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 4: forgot their game shorts or you know, their luggage went

399
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 4: missing and have their their uniform and their shoes.

400
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 1: So hey, yeah, yeah, very folks. My luggage got delayed

401
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: once flying to a national championship meet for track in

402
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: high school and with heptathlon, I had five different pairs

403
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 1: of shoes, so I end up having to buy a

404
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: pair of spikes that I then try to wear for

405
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: all the different events. Cool, very cool, all right, So

406
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 1: during the flight, I think we have to take two

407
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 1: flights for this one. Al Are you a book person,

408
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: movie TV show, bine sleep the whole time? What's your vibe?

409
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 5: I like looking at the map of where we are

410
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 5: at all times. I'm a window seat person and I

411
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 5: like looking at the map.

412
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 6: I'm also for eight straight hours.

413
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I like to just make sure we're staying on

414
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 5: course nowhere we're going.

415
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: What if you weren't What would be the recourse if

416
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: the map suddenly went awry and you're like, we're not

417
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: going to Spain.

418
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 5: Sometimes when you get on the flight, the system hasn't

419
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 5: reset itself. It has a weird old destination in the system,

420
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 5: and you're like, hold on, did I just get on

421
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 5: the right flight?

422
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: Seems like adding unnecessary stress. Never had that happen to me.

423
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 5: I also am a movie crier on planes, Like I'll

424
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 5: cry at anything on a plane.

425
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 1: I think it's something with the air in there or

426
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: the oxygen, because I'm a crier anyway, But on planes,

427
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: I will lose it. Like I made the mistake. I

428
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: forgot what the movie Out of Africa was actually about.

429
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if y'all have seen it. It's real

430
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: old school. But when I was young, we watched it,

431
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: so and my husband and I went to Africa. I

432
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: was like, oh, yeah, I'll download Out of Africa. I

433
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: forget you know what that's about. It is the most

434
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 1: tragic movie. And I didn't have enough napkins or Kleenex

435
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: on me to stop the flow of liquids oozing from

436
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: my brain. And literally the flight attendant was walked by

437
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 1: like are you okay? And I'm like, napkids, just not

438
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: bubbling and pouring all over my face. So yeah, I

439
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: intentionally now avoid any any crying movies because it's too much.

440
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 1: There's too many liquids in my face me. She seems

441
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 1: to suspect of this.

442
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 4: I'm not because if we're on a plane, and we're

443
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 4: not on a plane, if it's sad, I'm crying, okay,

444
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 4: So on.

445
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: A plane it's worse. I promise you it's worse. It

446
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 1: maybe it is.

447
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 4: I'm crying hard regardless, so maybe I just don't notice

448
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 4: the degree to which I'm crying harder. But definitely we'll

449
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 4: look at the flight tracker. Like Alex said, I love

450
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 4: a book on a long flight.

451
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: I love a physical hard copy.

452
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,360
Speaker 4: I could finish a book out of Like if it's

453
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 4: you know the circumstances are right, so love that, but

454
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 4: definitely allotting at least a third of that flight time

455
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 4: to being asleep, because there's no way. I'm also a

456
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 4: little bit I've recovered, but I was not a fan

457
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,239
Speaker 4: of flying at first, not a fan at all. Like

458
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:22,400
Speaker 4: I'm talking full blown meltdown. Oh no, hyperventilating, my ears

459
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 4: are popping. I think I'm gonna die, Like that was

460
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 4: when I was younger. Yeah, so three, yeah, no.

461
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: I I'm now flying so much that I have the

462
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 1: system done. Like if you're on the flight that leaves

463
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: at ten pm, I make myself sleep because that's what

464
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be doing. If I'm on the way

465
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: back and I'm supposed to be awake, I will make

466
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: myself watch like four straight movies and peel my eyes

467
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 1: open so that when I land, I'm tired and I

468
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 1: want to go to bed at the right time. Like

469
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 1: I work really hard because especially like going to the

470
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: World Cup out in Australia, going out to places where

471
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 1: it was going to screw up my time a bunch

472
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,959
Speaker 1: of times in recent months France for Sport Beach, all

473
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: those like if you come back and you have to

474
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: hit the ground running immediately with your job, and you're

475
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: just like dead. It's brutal. So I really try to

476
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 1: like follow what the advice is.

477
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 5: Okay, wait, hold up, I have a super important question

478
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 5: for the group. Yeah, this is gonna reveal a lot

479
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 5: about our respective personality, so be prepared.

480
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 6: Do you recline your seat?

481
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 4: Never I pay for a seat, I'm not reclining it

482
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 4: all the way back. I'm not insane because I have

483
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 4: teammates or former teammates and friends who are like.

484
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 1: Six foot plus.

485
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 4: But I'm reclining it a little bit because my back's

486
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 4: not gonna be hurt by the time we stop off

487
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:38,360
Speaker 4: this play.

488
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you that much right now. I will

489
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 1: maybe do it like an inch if it's a particularly

490
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: weird seat, but usually I don't. I bring my lumbar support.

491
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: I also usually pay for a bulkhead or an exit

492
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 1: row because I'm so tall that that way, if my

493
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 1: legs can stretch out, then my back is okay. If

494
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: I'm in a regular seat, I might recline it an

495
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: inch or so because I need figure out how to

496
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: get my legs in a position that fits. But at

497
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: this point, like I almost I don't need to be

498
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 1: in business or first class, but I need to pay

499
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 1: extra for a bulkhead or an exit because I do

500
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 1: have two bulging discs in my back and or her

501
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: need a disk in my neck, and I'm super tall.

502
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 1: So between the three of those, I will get off

503
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: that plane like basically looking like an origami bird. If

504
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: I don't like or bird is insane, just fold it

505
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: up like a bird.

506
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 4: I will say, though it is imperative that I look

507
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 4: at who is sitting behind me as I'm coming up

508
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 4: the aisle.

509
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,479
Speaker 1: I will say, I always do that.

510
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 4: If it is somebody who's tall, then I'm like, you

511
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 4: know what, you got it both.

512
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: But the woman directly in front of me on my

513
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: flight back from wherever the hell I just was, I

514
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 1: can't even remember, and she was no taller than five

515
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 1: foot three, and she took the Southwest first class seat.

516
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: This is the seat that doesn't have a chair in

517
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: front of it. It has like triple the leg room.

518
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: She's directly in front of me. She goes to set.

519
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: I go, oh, are you gonna sit there? She said yes,

520
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: And I wanted to punch her directly in her tiny face,

521
00:24:58,320 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: but I would have had to work so far down

522
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: because she was so fucking small, and I was like,

523
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,959
Speaker 1: some self awareness, lady. There's a million other even exit

524
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,199
Speaker 1: row seats that will be like the equivalent of like

525
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: a couch for you, and you take that one like, ugh, okay,

526
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: that is a pet peeve of mine. But my biggest

527
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: pet peeve in all of travel is the baggage claim.

528
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: If everyone takes two steps back, you can all see

529
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:22,959
Speaker 1: your bag, and then when you get to it, you

530
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: take two steps forward, you pick it up and then leave,

531
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 1: and everyone's better off for it. If everyone's freaking hugging

532
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: the carousel for no goddamn reason, you can't see and

533
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: you can't get your bag, what are people doing? Why

534
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 1: does nobody notice this? I notice it?

535
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 5: And some airports that even try to tape around like

536
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 5: stand behind this line. I just think, mm hmm, how

537
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 5: better to represent society. I'm gonna stand as close as

538
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 5: I need to in order to get what I need

539
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 5: instead of us all stepping back and us all getting

540
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 5: what we need.

541
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.

542
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 4: Meish biggest pet peeve in a similar vein there are

543
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 4: some things that I think we should be keeping around

544
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 4: from COVID times, And one of those things. Give me

545
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,199
Speaker 4: my six feet of space. I do not need to

546
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 4: feel you breathing down my neck. If I can, if.

547
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: I can physically feel the wind, you're two and down,

548
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: close back up. Yeah, yeah, I think that's just that's

549
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 1: just not traveling. That's life.

550
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, generally speaking, but I find that in the airport

551
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 4: it happens more often. I don't know what it is, like,

552
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 4: maybe everybody's just eager and anxious to get on the plane.

553
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,640
Speaker 4: I don't know, but that's when I typically find people

554
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 4: are I literally can't turn around without smelling with somebody

555
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 4: for breakfast.

556
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 5: You're in boarding group X, and there's stumbody that's still

557
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 5: just like, can't wait to be super close to you,

558
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 5: even though all the overhead baggage space has gone at

559
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 5: that point exactly.

560
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 1: Uh well, hopefully for all of us we will not

561
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: have to endure these peeves on our upcoming travels. Obviously,

562
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 1: our number one destinations on our bucket list right now

563
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: are Malaga and Kansas City. But if not for those trips,

564
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 1: what would be your number one top destination that you

565
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: want to go in the world right now?

566
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 4: Misha, I really really really want to go to Jamaica

567
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 4: or Trinidad and Tobago. Okay, those two have been on

568
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 4: my bucket list for since I had a bucket list,

569
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 4: you know, so fingers crossed on those two, Alex, I.

570
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 5: Don't have a travel bucket list, and I don't know

571
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 5: what that says about me, given that I do like

572
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 5: traveling and seeing new places, but I really don't have

573
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 5: a list. I am excited though, I have an upcoming

574
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 5: trip to Machu Pichu and Peru.

575
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 6: Pumped for that.

576
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,719
Speaker 1: Oh, that is on my list. Okay. So my bucket

577
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: list is usually based on things that humans are ruining

578
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 1: that I want to get to before they get worse.

579
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 6: So you want to be part of the getting worse?

580
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: No, I want to no, no, no, I want to

581
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: respect it and treat it well, but I want to

582
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: see it before garbage humans make it worse. So grape

583
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 1: Beerry Reef was on there, got there, Machu Pichu is

584
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 1: up there, Galapagos is up there, and then next ye're

585
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 1: finally getting to go to Africa again with my mom

586
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 1: this time and she's wanted to go her whole life,

587
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: but my dad's not super interested, so she's never gone.

588
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: And I literally was like, that's it, Dad, if you

589
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,479
Speaker 1: want to come, great if you don't stay home. But

590
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 1: Mom's going so South Africa and Botswana next year, which

591
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: I'm super pumped about too. All right, now, we got

592
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: all of our travel vibes put out into the universe

593
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 1: for lots of legroom, no one breathing down our next

594
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 1: and baggage carousel etiquette. We got to take another break

595
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,360
Speaker 1: when we come back. Slice wants to call us by

596
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: our name, But what is it that's next? Welcome back, Slices.

597
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: We got a listener email from beth Olhaso, who wrote

598
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: in last week with the following note, Hey there blank

599
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: question mark, question work, question mark. If we're the Slices,

600
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: what do we call you? Three? Collectively? Front Office just

601
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: wanted to drop a note to say thanks. Media is

602
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 1: a dumpster fire right now, so I appreciate that you

603
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: three are powering through to bring us content that is

604
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: a beautiful distraction from the shit show we've been living

605
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: in for the last thirty six hours. It's hard to

606
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: function right now for all of us, so I appreciate

607
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: you powering through for us. Appreciate you. Hope you're getting

608
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: some decompression time. Snuggle those puppers hard and cats, Alex ill,

609
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: but we support you, Beth from Sacramento, where we're thrilled

610
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: to be welcoming our second women's sports team in as

611
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: many years to the Bay. Go Valk and go BFC. First,

612
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: thank you for the kind note, Beth. Also, Alex, any

613
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: response to that straight that you and your cat's caught.

614
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 5: As the proud mama of a former straight, Dorothy and

615
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 5: I are offended, but we will take it in stride

616
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 5: and just enjoy cud a link together.

617
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 1: My dogs are truly actual full therapists at this point,

618
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: like the three of them and me have been in

619
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: a barnacle like symbiotic relationship pretty much ever since Tuesday,

620
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: so thank you to them. More importantly, Beth actually does

621
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: make a great point, what is our name? Which brings

622
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 1: us to our good game play of the day. We

623
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: love that you're listening, but we want you to get

624
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: in the game every day too, so we want to

625
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: hear from you. What should our little trio, me, Mish

626
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: and Alex be called triple espresso? Obviously taken can't have that,

627
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: but also we're more like an espresso, a latte, and

628
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 1: then like a steamed milk, right, Alex, not a lot

629
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: of sun out there in New Hampshire. I'm cry so

630
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: I don't know a good game crew top brass, big wigs,

631
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: brain Trust. Alex suggested the Orange Grove, which feels like

632
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: we would then be like the parents of the slices,

633
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: right like the grove. I don't know about that. I

634
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: know y'all got some ideas, so send them to us.

635

Speaker 1: and review. It's real easy. Watch cleaning out your desk

644
00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: drawer and finding an extra phone charger rating one percent

645
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: battery life review. I think this is what live in

646
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: large feels like. An extra phone charger. An extra phone

647
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: charger empowers you to make any room in your house

648
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: a phone charging room. That is, until, of course, you

649
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: need your kitchen charger in the living room, and then

650
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: it disappears into another drawer. You put it in a purse,

651
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: and then you forget to move it back. But anyway,

652
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: it'll be nice while it lasts another phone charger. Now

653

Speaker 1: it's your turn, rate and review. Thanks for listening, slices,
