00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: The NCAA Committee on Women's Athletics is recommending that flag

16
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: football be added to the organization's Emerging Sports for Women program.

17
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: The recommendation allows Divisions one, two, and three an opportunity

18
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: to sponsor legislation that would move flag football closer to

19
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 1: being considered for championship status. To officially hit that threshold,

20
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: a sport must have at least forty schools sponsoring at

21
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: at a varsity level and meet minimum contest and participation requirements.

22
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: At the moment, at least sixty five NCAA schools are

23
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: sponsoring flag at club or varsity levels. Flag football's popularity

24
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: is growing rapidly across the country, with fourteen states sanctioning

25
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: girls flag as a high school varsity sport, and it

26
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: will also be contested at the LA twenty twenty eight Olympics.

27
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: In college hoops news, TCU women's basketball star and former

28
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: Oregon Dux player Sedona Prince is facing multiple allegations of

29
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: sexual assault, domestic violence, and sexual misconduct now. Rumors of

30
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: these allegations have been swrolling for months, but now there's

31
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: reporting from The Washington Post Molly Hensley Clancy. Per her findings,

32
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: the earliest claim dates back to twenty nineteen, and the

33
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: most recent allegation came just last month, when Prince and

34
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: anex had an altercation that resulted in both parties reporting

35
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: domestic violence. Hensley Clancy story also notes that two of

36
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 1: Prince's accusers were asked to sign non disclosure agreements. Prince's attorney, A.

37
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: Boon Almanza, told the Post that the twenty four year

38
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: old quote categorically denies that she has abused anyone in

39
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: her life, whether mentally, emotionally, or physically, and that quote,

40
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: unfortunately others have decided to use Sodona as a launch

41
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: point for their careers end quote. Regarding the NDA's Almanza

42
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: said quote. In an effort to create some relationship privacy,

43
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: Sodona has asked girlfriends to sign non disclosure agreements because

44
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: their personal intimate moments should not be the subject of

45
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: public discussion. End quote. Prince is currently playing her last

46
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: year of college basketball at TCU. She played for Oregon

47
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: from twenty nineteen to twenty twenty two. She gained mass

48
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: popularity on social media after posting a TikTok during the

49
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one NCAA tournament that brought attention to a

50
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: lack of equity and facilities between the men's and women's tournaments.

51
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,320

54
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,720

156
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 2: that covered stories off the field. I always joked that

157
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 2: I would look at the Wikipedia Personal Life section of

158
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 2: athletes during sporting events because I was like, who are

159
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 2: they married to, who'd they get divorced from? What weird

160
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 2: endorsement deals do they have? What does their Instagram presence

161
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 2: look like? And felt like no one was covering these

162
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 2: very important topics that I needed someone to write about.

163
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 2: So I was like, I'm gonna write about them myself,

164
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 2: and so that started in twenty twenty. It kind of

165
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 2: snowballed and grew from there, and then Charlotte actually wrote

166
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 2: something for my newsletter. It was all about NBA gossip.

167
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 2: I think it was around the NBA Finals.

168
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 5: I think it was.

169
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, you asked it was like your favorite piece of

170
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 4: gossip from the twenty four season, and I was like, well, obviously,

171
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 4: when James Harden skipped Joel Embiid's wedding of course, yeah.

172
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: Most important.

173
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 2: Yes, And then we were on a two hour phone

174
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 2: call and we're like, wait, I think we could turn

175
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 2: this into a podcast.

176
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, And had you met before?

177
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 4: No?

178
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: Wow, I love that you just hit it up off.

179
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: We just hit it off.

180
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 2: And then we met in person for the first time

181
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 2: in September, which is kind of crazy.

182
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, we started planning the show maybe June May June,

183
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 4: because I think we both, you know, have been in

184
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 4: entertainment and media long enough that when we got on

185
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 4: the phone and there was the same level of like, Okay,

186
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 4: you're buttoned up in this way, you want these certain things,

187
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 4: like there's a professionalism that we both care about, and

188
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 4: we were just like cracking each other up on the phone.

189
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 5: We were like, you know what, let's just let's do it.

190
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. I love that. You know, Charlotte, one of the

191
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 1: things I really love and respect about you is that you,

192
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: since you entered the business, have been very willing to

193
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: sort of stand in the face of some stereotypical criticisms

194
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: of women that they aren't enough about x's and o's.

195
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: You came in and you were like, I love sports.

196
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: I also have never like studied them to be an expert.

197
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: I just want to talk about the fun stuff, or

198
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: I want to do really cool videos where I'm embedded

199
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: with every college team and learning their traditions and I

200
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: get to be in the marching band one day and

201
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: a cheerleader the next. Like, there is so much of

202
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: that that's allowed for men in this space, and for

203
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: such a long time, there was a real fear as

204
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: a woman in the industry that if you admitted to

205
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: caring about things outside of whether that you know, Cover

206
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: two worked, that people would doubt you and you wouldn't

207
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 1: find a home. And you have always found a home

208
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,839
Speaker 1: and thrived at that. So this feels like such a

209
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: natural space for you to enjoy. Well, I'm like going

210
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 1: to tear up. That's so sweet, Sarah.

211
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 4: I think I do think that that's you know, when

212
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 4: I saw Madeline's newsletter, I was like, oh my god,

213
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 4: she put a name to like what I've enjoyed doing

214
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 4: the most in my career, which is sports gossip, which

215
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 4: is the human side of this, and we you know,

216
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 4: I I think like in twenty seventeen or twenty eighteen,

217
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 4: I pitched an idea for a podcast called First Date,

218
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 4: where I was like, for people who don't know sports

219
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 4: but are going on a date with someone who loves sports,

220
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 4: and for people who don't know pop culture but are

221
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 4: going on a date with that, And all these mail

222
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 4: execs were like, no one's going to listen to that,

223
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 4: And so to see our show blow up with Madeline's

224
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 4: brilliant has just been like the most validating.

225
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: It's very validating. Yeah, Yeah, And I also think there's

226
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: something to be said for how you do it. When

227
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: I heard someone describe professional wrestling like WWE wrestling, not

228
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 1: wrestling wrestling, as soap operas for men, I was like, yeah.

229
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: And when we started talking about the NBA off season

230
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: being more popular than the games because it was about

231
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: which players were trying to woo, which guys to switch teams,

232
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: and how free agency was working, and how men were

233
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: essentially soaking that up the way women stereotypically soak up

234
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: soap opera storylines. It's all about framing. When we talk

235
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: about the things women like in sports, quote unquote women

236
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 1: and it's all stereotypes and it's all you know, can't

237
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: be categorized in such a way, but it has been.

238
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: It's always with judgment. But on the men's side, it's like, oh,

239
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: but they know they like that because it's like about sports.

240
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 1: It's like, wa, wait, that's the exact same thing we're

241
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: talking about. You're just raming it differently.

242
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, we always say sports news is just like a

243
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 2: cover or for men to be it's okay for them

244
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 2: to talk about gossip.

245
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's socially acceptable gossip for men.

246
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: Like that's what sport like trades.

247
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 2: It is just like workplace drama that men are like,

248
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 2: it's serious business, it's sports news, and it's like it's

249
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 2: gossip in the same way the role Housewives as gossip exactly.

250
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 4: Also, Sarah, something that I think I did your show

251
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 4: in twenty nineteen, and you said something that has stuck

252
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 4: with me, which is the idea of how women, at

253
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 4: least of our generation, it felt like, stereotypically weren't socialized

254
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 4: to need to know things about sports. And I think

255
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,839
Speaker 4: because before I started working in sports, like almost ten

256
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 4: years ago now, I wasn't in sports, I remembered what

257
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 4: it felt like to be cut out of those conversations.

258
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 4: And so what we try to do is, you know,

259
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 4: as we talk about the gossip as we talk about,

260
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 4: you know, Bill Belichick and his twenty.

261
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: Four year old girlfriend. We also talk.

262
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 4: About the sport and the game and give qualifiers because

263
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 4: so much of it's media for men feels like not

264
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 4: for men. But that's kind of the undertone, right, like

265
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 4: this is for guy and they don't qualify, and it's

266
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 4: Andy Reid, it's not chiefs head coaching. Right, So many

267
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 4: more people out than could come in if they just

268
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 4: knew who these people were, right.

269
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: We do that on our show a lot because we

270
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: both have people who are diehard women's sports fans and

271
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 1: people who want to know more, and so if it's

272
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: the simplest reminding them which player, which team, which sport,

273
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: using the full name instead of always the acronyms, and

274
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: that allows them in, it's so worth doing. It's so

275
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: funny you said that. I literally just did an interview

276
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: where I was talking to someone about how, despite being

277
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,719
Speaker 1: like a three sport athlete obsessed with sports, no one

278
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: ever talked to me about sports. I was not raised

279
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: to no x's and o's, or play Madden or do

280
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: any of the things. And it does make a difference. Okay,

281
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: so on this show, we do love our sports goss,

282
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: but because there is a dearth of legitimate, trusted sources

283
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: for women's sports news every single day, and by that

284
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: I mean we are the only one. We also have

285
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 1: to sort of have a reputation for getting things right

286
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: and it keeps us from running with rumors or getting

287
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: like too deep into the weeds with personal stuff for players.

288
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 1: But you're our guests, so it's only right.

289
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 2: So you say we can say the alleged, so.

290
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: We can have the conversations we want to have. Venness

291
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: have it be about you saying it. I'd let you

292
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: flex all those sports goss muscles to the fullest extent

293
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: right here and especially today on Valentine's Day. So let's

294
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: get into some stories that you've talked about on the

295
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: show and maybe some you haven't. Your show covered the

296
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: early days of Las Vegas acistar Asia Wilson and her

297
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: Boo bam Audebio from the mnba's Miami Heat. You talked

298
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: about them before they went public, and we have also

299
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: been following along with them since the Winky Winky days

300
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: to their more open love story and we have a

301
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: nickname for them, Aposto bam uh.

302
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 5: I love that. That's really good.

303
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it is a both a punctuation joke and

304
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: a reference to the apostrophe in her name, which is great.

305
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: What do you make of him being the first to

306
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: wear her signature shoe and again, Charlotte, Oh my god.

307
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 4: I mean we've talked about this in the context of

308
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 4: we love a supportive boyfriend, we love a man who

309
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 4: look Asian Wilson, MVP of the w NBA bam Adebio,

310
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 4: not the MVP of the m NBA. Good player, but like,

311
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 4: she is so many worlds better in her sphere than

312
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 4: he is in his. That like, I think his not

313
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 4: being threatened by that, his being supportive, his wearing her shoe,

314
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 4: his showing up for her in these ways that typically

315
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 4: you see women show up for their male you know,

316
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 4: the people there in relationships with it is just like

317
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 4: it's so good, it's so important, and it's just like,

318
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 4: look how much more fun you can have when you're

319
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 4: not threatened by your thread.

320
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: I completely agree. I reposted immediately. I was like, obsessed

321
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: he's wearing the shoe. But then the part of me

322
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: was like, is it bad that he got to wear

323
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: her shoe in a game before she did?

324
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 2: Oh, that isn't hmm, that's not great.

325
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 5: No, I don't think.

326
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: I don't know that. I think it's just chronological. She's

327
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: not in unrivaled the wnbas and in season. So I

328
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: allow it because I love that it's part of the

329
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: promotional push. But part of me was like, oh my god,

330
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: I'm obsessed. I love this, and I'm also like mmmm.

331
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: And then we still had a man getting to wear

332
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: the shoe. Hurst that's fair, but that was hardened because

333
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: he was in a game against a guy wearing Sabrina

334
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: shoe and I was like, yes, bitches, take it over.

335
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: Snatt exactly. Y'all dug into Sandy Brondelo, the coach of

336
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: the New York Liberty, having her husband as one of

337
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: her assistant coaches. Arizona College women's basketball head coach Adia Barnes,

338
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: her husband is an assistant on her staff as well.

339
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: We love to see it. You considered calling these guys

340
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: NEPO hubbies, but then you also solicited other ideas, Madeline,

341
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: did you get any good ones?

342
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 2: You know, we didn't get any NEPO hubby ideas. I

343
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 2: feel like the narrative around the word NEPO is always

344
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 2: with NEPO babies. But I do feel like it's time

345
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 2: to change a narrative and let's have a conversation about

346
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 2: more NEPO husbands in different industries, because I feel like

347
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 2: the NEPO baby conversation is strictly in like the actor

348
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 2: actress World Maya Hawk, Ethan Hawk's daughter Dakota Johnson, who's

349
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 2: what's her name is, Donnie.

350
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: Melanie Griffin, don Johnson.

351
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 2: But I don't feel like there's enough of a conversation

352
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 2: around the NEPO hubbies, and maybe even NEPO baby conversation

353
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 2: in sports.

354
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: I mean it comes there is for football because we're

355
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: all aware that somehow, and and like NASCAR and racing sports,

356
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: where everybody's somebody's son. In football, they're like somebody, actually,

357
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: I can't remember who wrote like a pretty decent expose

358
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: of the fact that every single lower level job at

359
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: the NFL and college is somebody's like son or nephew, right,

360
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 1: and how they're like they're like, women don't want the jobs,

361
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: and it's like no, their pipeline is literally like having

362
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: to have been born to you.

363
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 4: It's like, yeah, no, Brian Schottenheimer failed to get a

364
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 4: head coaching job and then just got one at the

365
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 4: age of fifty because his dad was also I've read

366
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 4: about that one, but there's a lot I love the

367
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 4: NEPO hubby yeah role because like, in the same way

368
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 4: that Bam is supportive of Asia, it's in your job

369
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 4: description you were an assistant coach and she's the coach, right,

370
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 4: so it means that something's got to be working there

371
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 4: in a way where he's like, cool, yeah, I'm supporting you.

372
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

373
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 2: There is a recent example though, of a NEPO hubby

374
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 2: is Madison Keys, the tennis player who won the Australian Open.

375
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 2: Her husband Bjorn is her coach, so that I feel

376
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 2: like it is an interesting dynamic and also a NEPO

377
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 2: hubby adjacent storyline.

378
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: Right, because how are we to be sure that he's

379
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: the most qualified, which is what we do for women

380
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: every time they get a job by relationship to someone

381
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 1: right is good at tennis.

382
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 5: We can't even say his last name, so I.

383
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: Don't know anything. I don't even know I don't even

384
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 1: know l I don't know anything about Bijorn, and I

385
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: don't want to slander him, but I do want to

386
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: give him the same treatment that like every woman has

387
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: ever gotten when she's hired for anything, Like, remember me

388
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: when there was the first ever quality control coach in

389
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: the NFL and everyone suddenly not only knew what a

390
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: quality control coach did, but also knew she wasn't qualified

391
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: despite having like thirteen years in the NFL.

392
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 4: Right and like having quality control in her title. Yeah,

393
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 4: that's her whole job, right, qualified to qualify?

394
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,880
Speaker 1: Thanks? Yeah, so sorry Bjorn, but like you have questions, right, questions.

395
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: On one of our recent shows, we noted the retirement

396
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: of Scottish soccer player Jen Betty and mentioned that she

397
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: and US women's national team great Ali Kreeger medium launched

398
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: their relationship on Instagram. Jen posted on her insta story

399
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 1: around Thanksgiving, thankful for you, Happy Thanksgiving, My love at

400
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: Ali Kreeger, and Ali reposted it and added, you have

401
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 1: no idea how do we feel about Medium?

402
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 2: I love a medium launch, especially because I feel like

403
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 2: that medium launch in particular knowing the history obviously with

404
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 2: Ashlan Harris, her ex wife, where I would argue that

405
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 2: that relationship ended in a very public fashion. Ashland very

406
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 2: quickly dated so Bush after we all know this. Sofia

407
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 2: Bush wrote that big essay for Glamour that that was

408
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 2: a very public extreme hard launch to the nth degree.

409
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 2: And in contrast, Ali's like, I'm not doing that. I'm

410
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 2: doing like a subtle medium launch on stories. I'll eventually

411
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 2: hard launch in feed. I'm going to be a little

412
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 2: bit more subtle about it because I'm going to kind

413
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 2: of have the upper hand here. I feel like it's

414
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 2: it's a power move. Is a medium launch, Yeah, yeah,

415
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 2: like a medium launch.

416
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 4: Everything is circumstantial, right, Like, And I think that there.

417
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,360
Speaker 4: I liked how organic this was where it's Thanksgiving and Jen,

418
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 4: which is sort of a she's you know, from the UK.

419
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 4: For her to say happy Thanksgiving is sort of playing

420
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 4: on Ali's turf already because Ali's American, and you know,

421
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 4: it's like, I'm just posting this on my Instagram because

422
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 4: this is how I feel at the moment, right And

423
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 4: and for Ali to then be like, you know what,

424
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 4: I'm not going to do the thing where I'm scared

425
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 4: of people finding out about us. I am going to

426
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,479
Speaker 4: repost your story tag and to put you have no

427
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 4: idea is also a little bit of information for everybody

428
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 4: out there where she's like, yeah, things were bad, now

429
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 4: they're great without saying anything.

430
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:12,120
Speaker 5: It's a master class.

431
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 4: I think Ali Kager has been a masterclass in public

432
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:16,360
Speaker 4: relations to this whole thing.

433
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: I completely agree. I hadn't thought about the Thanksgiving part.

434
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: I also can picture them all like sitting around at

435
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: the house and saying like, on Thanksgiving we all go

436
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: around and say what we're thankful for and Jen being like,

437
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 1: what a lovely tradition.

438
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, thankful for you.

439
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: And then you know what I mean like, and then

440
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: that's spurring this sort of public acknowledgment. I do agree

441
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 1: that Ali has mastered somehow silence at every turn when

442
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 1: the natural instinct would be like, hold up, you are

443
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: oversharing or you are getting to say your business and

444
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: I'm not. But because she's been quote unquote winning throughout

445
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,919
Speaker 1: where most people have sort of sided with her in

446
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: this split, her silence has just furthered the feelings of

447
00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: goodness towards her, whether fairly or not. Like just because listen,

448
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 1: there's a Mindy Kaylee quote that was like, I'll never

449
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,239
Speaker 1: be mysterious. I talk too much. Like that's me, Like

450
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,919
Speaker 1: I could never medium or soft launch anything because I

451
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: struggle to have any privacy. I'm just like, hey everyone,

452
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: here's what I'm doing all the time. I want to

453
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: know what you're doing, what's everyone else doing? Like I

454
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: have a problem with that, and so I respect people

455
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: who can do that, but especially in her case, where

456
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 1: it's like there's so much being put out there about

457
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: her and about their relationship, and by just being herself,

458
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: this lovely, wonderful person that everybody cares for, it's like winning.

459
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I it's very interesting to me because

460
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 4: like for our show, for our jobs, we need people

461
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 4: to be messy, we need them to talk, we need

462
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 4: them to really not be good at pr because also

463
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 4: we do have an ethos where it's not you know,

464
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 4: gossip is in the title, but it's not a salacious show.

465
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 4: You know, we're not out there airing people's business or

466
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 4: if someone is a private person, we're like, okay, god,

467
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 4: but if you're talking, then it's a fair game to

468
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 4: talk about you. And I my personal ethos is always like,

469
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 4: don't say anything, and Allie's not saying anything.

470
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 5: But then, but I don't want athletes to know that.

471
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 4: We need them to keep talking, keeping and everybody.

472
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: If everybody did that, it'd be so boring. So you're welcome.

473
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 1: I'm not exactly messy, but I am always talking about

474
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: while we're on the topic of launches soft, medium and

475
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: hard Unrivaled player and New Phoenix Mercury player, saw too,

476
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: sobbly hard launched a relationship that she's not in here

477
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 1: she is doing an interview on the bench in the

478
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 1: middle of an Unrivaled game. Take a listen. She was

479
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: actually supposed to have off today and be you know

480
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 1: what her girlfriend's Jersie retirement is about, Harrison. So, thank

481
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: you so much Natasha that you just said. Okay, So,

482
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 1: of course Saw to talking about Natasha Cloud and then

483
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: Isabelle Harrison. So what are the rules on hard launching

484
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 1: someone else's relationship for them? Charlotte, Oh, you don't do it.

485
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 4: Although it is funny that Unrivaled that which is in Miami,

486
00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 4: and it is like Miami is the hub of other

487
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 4: people hard launching other people's relationships because the mayor of

488
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 4: Miami accidentally hard launched Asia dam when she gave them

489
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 4: the key of the city.

490
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 5: Like someone's in the water.

491
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 2: Something they know that heart Okay, I think yeah, definitely

492
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 2: a lot of okay, yeah, definitely a hard pass on

493
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 2: hard launching someone else's relationship without their permission. I mean

494
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 2: that is, unless you're Perez Hilton, which I don't think

495
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 2: Perez Hilton should be.

496
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: Doing that either. Well, that's a name from the past throwback.

497
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 2: I'm like, don't do that unless you have been given permission,

498
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 2: don't do that. And also I feel like that goes

499
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 2: against media training one on one what are we doing here?

500
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: People? Yeah? What are we doing?

501
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 5: She that was a good idea.

502
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 4: I would have been so mortified if I were sat.

503
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 4: She probably felt so bad.

504
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: She probably thought it was like out or like didn't

505
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: realize that, Like the way they talked about it around

506
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:51,400
Speaker 1: the dinner table at Unrivaled didn't mean that everybody knew. Yeah,

507
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: oh my god, hilarious. See. I would say in general,

508
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: probably don't launch other people's relationships, although again, please keep

509
00:24:58,280 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: doing it. Ye stop.

510
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 5: It's also for us don't do it, but don't not

511
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 5: do it right.

512
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if y'all have ever listened to Jocular.

513
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: It is an absolutely hilarious podcast about women's sports hosted

514
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: by three queer folks, and they suggested that they would

515
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 1: like to see an Unrivaled singles show, a reality show

516
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 1: taking place in Miami during the eight week season. They

517
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: rattled off like as many of the queer participants that

518
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 1: they could find and guessed at a percentage well above

519
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: fifty percent, and thought it would be fun to film.

520
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: This is in arguably a fantastic idea. I'm not going

521
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 1: to ask you your opinion. We can all agree that

522
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 1: we would watch this. My question is there a better

523
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 1: league for this? Because I think if I give you Unrivaled,

524
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: I would struggle to have you top a better league

525
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 1: for the in season reality dating.

526
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 4: Show, I think, I mean, I would kill for that

527
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 4: for the wa But because Unrivaled is in one place,

528
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 4: it's it's perfect.

529
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's perfect. It's a perfect setting. I don't think

530
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 2: there's anything better. No, No, I think that's it.

531
00:25:58,560 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: And it's Miami.

532
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 2: So again, yeah, they're going out, they're.

533
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: Going out, they're going club, and everyone's wearing as little

534
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,360
Speaker 1: clothes as possible because it's hot out.

535
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 2: It's Miami, it's Miami, it's twenty all the time.

536
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: It just feels that feels right. But I would also

537
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: watch a women's footy version of this show.

538
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 2: Oh, I was going to say that that would be

539
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 2: my second one. I feel like if they were going

540
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 2: to do a women's soccer version, I actually think i'd

541
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 2: like it more during the World Cup. Yeah, same, because

542
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 2: they're all kind of in one place. I mean, I

543
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 2: want a dating show about the Olympic village, period.

544
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: Of course, they would all have to be after competition ends.

545
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: I don't know anyone that's messing up their Olympic dream

546
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: for some tale, So let me show that tale. Like

547
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: all the Olympians I've talked to and I have had

548
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: these conversations. That's like one of the first things I

549
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,120
Speaker 1: ask Olympian friends is like, I just congrats on whatever boat.

550
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: Tell me about the Olympic village and the condoms and

551
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: how much sex you had and were they from your

552
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 1: team or did you find athletes from another team? And

553
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,679
Speaker 1: they have the best stories from after they compete. They

554
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: always like to stick around a couple extra days for

555
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: the extracurriculars.

556
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:00,959
Speaker 4: Well, that's what's interesting me about the idea of this

557
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 4: unrivaled dating show is that it would get things would

558
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 4: bleed onto the court in a way that like, and

559
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 4: I'm sure they already are like, I'm sure some of

560
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,439
Speaker 4: this is clearly happening, but like I feel like the

561
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 4: league would be like, yeah, no.

562
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,439
Speaker 5: We're not gonna we can't.

563
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 4: This is a little too close to our actual product, and.

564
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: If they knew we were watching it, they might get

565
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: a little messier. Like if they know now it's behind

566
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 1: the scenes, they have to pretend on the court, whereas

567
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 1: if they know it's out there, then it's like, you know.

568
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 4: I did see a tweet yesterday before the Super Bowl

569
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,479
Speaker 4: where someone was like, I wish that sports were like

570
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 4: reality shows where they have confessionals halfway through, So like

571
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 4: you could do that with Unrivaled, Like you could see it,

572
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 4: you know, halftime, and you take one of them aside

573
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 4: and you're like so and she's like, well, I had

574
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 4: to pass the ball. We're in a fight, and I'm pissed.

575
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 4: But she scored, so I guess that's good.

576
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 2: I mean, it's kind of like those a brilliant idea. Yeah, yeah,

577
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 2: they already do the in game interviews with coaches. Yeah,

578
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 2: I just add another layer to it.

579
00:27:58,800 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're welcome.

580
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: This is a brilliant idea. And I'm sure they were

581
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: thinking about that because they were doing close ups of

582
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: all the players on the Chiefs as they were getting

583
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: absolutely routed.

584
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 4: Right, it's Chris Jones just crying and yeah, you know,

585
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 4: someone said Patrick Mahomes looked like a haunted porcelain doll

586
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 4: like this dick in his eyes.

587
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 5: We said, he looked like you saw a ghosts.

588
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that confessional midway through, so you're getting you're

589
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 1: getting beat like thirty three to nothing. It would be incredible,

590
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: It would be good. Okay, So the women's soccer show

591
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: that would work for that is the off season. Midge

592
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 1: Purse executive producer and was a member of the players

593
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: that were in this house again in Miami. I don't

594
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: know if you watched it, but it was fantastic. Not

595
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: a lot of like, you know, the dating stuff in there,

596
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: but we could bump that up on purpose. And during

597
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,959
Speaker 1: that show they actually talked about a chart that a

598
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: fan made showing the links between players who have dated

599
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: in women's soccer. Just a taste of this. You can

600
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: plug in a player's name and then it shows them

601
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: like a circle with all all the lines to planets

602
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: around them that they have either dated or their ex

603
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: or they're married. Australia Sam Kerr currently engaged to US

604
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: player Christy Mwis, whose ex is England's Rachel Daily, who

605
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: apparently has the thing for fellow soccer players because she's

606
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: got all sorts of exes on the board. So Christy

607
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 1: mwis is current girlfriend and ex girlfriend faced off in

608
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: the semi finals. Is the last World Cup, with England

609
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: ultimately getting to win. But Sam Kurr's ex American pro

610
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: player Nikki Stanton dated Meghan Rappino's twin Rachel, who also

611
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: dated friend of the show mery At Matthias. Also Meghan

612
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: Rappino and Abby Wombach dated. Where was I what? Okay?

613
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 4: You just blew our You just got to sit the

614
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 4: first time a whole episode for you? You know this

615
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 4: is so you sent us this link before the show.

616
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 4: I hadn't seen it, and I typed in Ali Krieger

617
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 4: and my mind exploded because Jen Batty, she's got a

618
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 4: couple ex'es on there, like especially the older the players are,

619
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 4: the more time they've had to So no, this, what

620
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 4: you just said was crazy.

621
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe that for every every league?

622
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: Could we do you imagine fair or foul though? Making

623
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: charts like that? First of all, Madeline, if the connections

624
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: are based off rumors, do we need to have a

625
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: different color line or like a squiggle?

626
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 2: Yes, I think a squiggle because that feels more questionable.

627
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: Right, It's like a little bit more fair, Like, we

628
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: know we're a little bit pushing it by post by

629
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: posting this rumor, but also we're telling you it's a rumor,

630
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: take it with a great assault.

631
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 2: But I think they should be included. Yeah, yeah, because

632
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 2: it is important for cultural.

633
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 1: History, yeah, anthropological reasons. Yes, But Charlotte, what if we

634
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: don't know if the players are out or.

635
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 4: Not, that is probably not great because that should be

636
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 4: something that is completely on their terms. So I guess

637
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 4: if there's a rumor that involves someone who you're not

638
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 4: sure how public they are about their sexuality, maybe we hold.

639
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: Off or slide to their DMS and be like, pardon me, yeah,

640
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: are you comfortable with acknowledgment that you are queer by gay? Whatever?

641
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 5: Can I put you on this chart?

642
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 4: And they'd be like what They're like, no, please, don't

643
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 4: put me on a chart, on any chart.

644
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 5: I don't care what I am.

645
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: But what if you were single and you were struggling

646
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: to meet someone and you were like, maybe if.

647
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 4: I'm on the chart, Oh yeah, I think that chart

648
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 4: probably has facilitated more relationships than we realized.

649
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 2: Or if someone is looking into someone they're newly dating

650
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 2: and they're like, let me see who else they dated.

651
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 2: I can reference a chart.

652
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 4: Can you imagine if you had that chart just for

653
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 4: people like you in your own life, in your own life,

654
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 4: if you're like, oh this, like, oh god, that sounds.

655
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: I didn't need it. I met like seven people my

656
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 1: husband used to date, like within the first two months

657
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: of dating. I'm like, what's your deal? Like why are

658
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: they all always wherever we are? And then I was

659
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: like mad because I'm like, damn, I dated all my

660
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 1: people in California, so you don't have to run into

661
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: any of them, right, And then later one of them

662
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: started working next to our apartment building. I was like,

663
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 1: I didn't mean to manifest that that was Yeah, it

664
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: was fun. It all worked out. But my husband's just

665
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: very tall, and he acknowledges that like in your twenties,

666
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: if you're a nice person and you're really tall, like

667
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 1: you're just gonna you're gonna get a lot of dates

668
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: as a do.

669
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 6: Yeah.

670
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the way heterosexuality works for them. There's

671
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: a whole uh don't like the guy, but the bit

672
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 1: was good. Louis c k bit of like, if you're

673
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:18,719
Speaker 1: a tall dude, you just walk into a party and

674
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: be like Uh, yeah, who wants to be like this

675
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: is that simple? Anyway? This chart is truly mind blowing

676
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 1: to your point. Uh, I can't, I can't decide. If

677
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: we'll put it in our show notes, you'll find it.

678
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: You'll be able to find it yourself without us facilitating

679
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: your access to it, and you could plug in some

680
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 1: names and see. I'm also fascinated by people who have

681
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: just very wildly different taste because that's also my dating history.

682
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: Like if you did line them all up on a chart,

683
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: you'd be like interesting, yeah, no, tall, every kind of ethnicity,

684
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: every kind of whatever. And there are certain people on

685
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: the chart that you're like, oh cool, equal opportunity.

686
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can tell very quickly if someone has a

687
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 5: type from that chart. From that you can you can

688
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 5: also the tech behind it kind of blows.

689
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's someone code that chares.

690
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: It's incredible. I love gosh, this is this is the

691
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: best possible Valentine's Day conversation we could have. Do you

692
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: guys have any new, fresh and steamy goss that you

693
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 1: haven't even talked about on your show or that you

694
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: want to break right here on the show.

695
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 4: Oh god, Uh, I think we kind of emptied the Chamber.

696
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 2: We do always talk about Jordan Hudson, but I don't

697
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 2: know if you are. Are you well versed with Billeck's girlfriend?

698
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: Oh? Yes, and I'm troubled for both of them.

699
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 2: We are exactly sure what's going on. But I think

700
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 2: what's been more interesting, and we were just talking about this,

701
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 2: is that she was in the Dunkin Donuts super Bowl

702
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 2: commercial with Ben Affleck, which is just such an incredible

703
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 2: ascension to be in a super Bowl ad with Ben Affleck.

704
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 4: Yes, the okay, the Boston and me like imploded in

705
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 4: on itself when I saw that, because I was like, also.

706
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 5: Didn't know Jeremy Strong was from Boston, didn't either, wild.

707
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 4: But I think that there is she We said this

708
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 4: on the show after the super Bowl.

709
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 5: But she's playing the game and she's winning it.

710
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 4: Right.

711
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,839
Speaker 1: For those who don't know, this is a twenty four

712
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,280
Speaker 1: year old I want to say, grad student.

713
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 5: It's unclear.

714
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: It's unclear. Maybe I'm just thinking that because there are

715
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: a lot of jokes about how Bill Belichick took a

716
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: college job so that he could get her into the school. Yeah,

717
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 1: and so maybe that none of that is real. But

718
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick is seventy two former longtime head coach of

719
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots, multiple times Super Bowl winner, was

720
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: it one time considered one of the greatest coaches of

721
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:43,959
Speaker 1: all time, but then since they sucked after Tom Brady

722
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: left and Tom Brady won without him, now there's a

723
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 1: lot of questions about who is really responsible for all

724
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: their success. But anyway, notoriously curmudgeonly and is dating this

725
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:57,240
Speaker 1: twenty four year old girl who is like publicity hound.

726
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: So in all the clips you see where they're not

727
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 1: staged for a commercial or something else or a photo

728
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: where he's like reading off Taylor's swift lyrics or doing

729
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: other things that seem in congress to who he would

730
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: be if he was not dating this twenty five year

731
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:14,879
Speaker 1: old he looks sad and angry, and she's posing for photos.

732
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, she yeah, she is performing. She is performing

733
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,240
Speaker 2: for those cameras every chance she gets.

734
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 4: We think she's executing on a plan here with.

735
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 1: A little better playbook than Bill.

736
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 5: Truly, she's calling the show.

737
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,359
Speaker 4: She's on the offensive, and it's working, and it's working, working,

738
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 4: and it's working, and it's just wild to see the difference.

739
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 4: As Madeline said on our show, Bill's just down bad

740
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 4: he's down bad.

741
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 1: He's down bad. Somebody said, it's nice to see Bill

742
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: Belichick getting his granddaughter, I mean girlfriend a job in

743
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,720
Speaker 1: the new Duncan commercial. Now listen age is just a number.

744
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:54,879
Speaker 1: Well sure, but also for me you said she's winning, yes,

745
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: in some aspects. And also what I always think about,

746
00:35:58,560 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: and this is a mean thing to think, but I'm

747
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 1: just gonna to, you know, be honest, since this is

748
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: the Sports Gossip Takeover and I'm a completely different host

749
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: at this moment. What I always think about when I

750
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: think about, like cool for them, they're in the dunkin

751
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 1: ad and they're getting to do all these cool things

752
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: and they're getting to be famous. Is at the end

753
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: of the day, this game ends with you having sex

754
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 1: with a seventy two year old man. And I don't

755
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: want to win that game. No, I would rather lose

756
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: the game. I don't. I don't want to be in

757
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 1: the game. I don't. Yeah, I'd rather even play the game.

758
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 5: No game she is.

759
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 4: She's winning the game that she is playing for herself,

760
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 4: is how I would put it. She set out, she

761
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 4: made a little board game, and she's playing it, and.

762
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 5: The rest of us might not play that game. I

763
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 5: also do.

764
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 4: I just I can't help but feel for Bill Belichick's ex,

765
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 4: Linda Holiday, who he was with since two thousand and seven.

766
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 4: Bill met Jordan in twenty twenty one, and Linda and

767
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,280
Speaker 4: Bill broke up in twenty twenty three.

768
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 5: And it's like the timeline.

769
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 4: I don't know, and so I and she, you know,

770
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 4: she was around, she was we had to Bill Belichick

771
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:02,879
Speaker 4: Foundation together for you know, and.

772
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 1: He has three kids. I guarantee they're all older or

773
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: older there, I am. Yeah, that's listen to your point.

774
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 1: It's a sort of hate the game, not the player.

775
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 1: So I do hate that game, and yet the player

776
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,959
Speaker 1: is thriving in it, And anyone who plays that game

777
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 1: has to clearly not have that big of a problem

778
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: with the whole sex, with the old person part of it,

779
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: which for me would be the reason I don't get

780
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: in the game.

781
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I think we're all on the same page.

782
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 4: The reason I would not pass go I would not

783
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 4: collect two hundred dollars.

784
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 1: On this show, we always tell people we wanted to

785
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 1: get in the game every day, but not this game. No,

786
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: feel free to pass on this. Everybody, go listen to

787

Speaker 1: We're here. Oh yeah, oh, this will be perfect. We'll

796
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,759

00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 4: We're like, absolutely, I heard a rumor from Sarah exactly.

801
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: Thanks for having us. Thanks ladies, Thanks so much to

802
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 1: Charlotte and Madeline for joining us. So fun. We got

803
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: to take another break. When we come back, we hear

804
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 1: all about who use slices? Want to send love to

805
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 1: this Valentine's Day, don't go anywhere. Welcome back slices. It's

806
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 1: time for another What the fact we mentioned in yesterday's

807
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: show that the US Department of Education released a statement

808
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: announcing that Title nine does not apply to name image

809
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 1: and likeness deals. We're sending the Biden administration's guidance that

810
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: schools must equitably distribute direct payments to male and female athletes.

811
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: Now this is especially important because of the upcoming payments

812
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 1: ESPN's PAULA. Levine quote. The NCAA and its power conferences

813
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 1: have agreed to allow each school to share up to

814
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 1: twenty and a half million dollars in direct payments to

815
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 1: its athletes via NIL deals as one of the terms

816
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: of appending antitrust settlement. Many major college athletic departments plan

817
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 1: to distribute the majority of that money to athletes and

818
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: sports that generate the most revenue, mostly football and men's

819
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 1: basketball players, leaving a small portion, often less than five percent,

820
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: to women's sports end quote. So this Trump administration ruling

821
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,439
Speaker 1: makes the world of NIL, which has already disproportionally served

822
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,720
Speaker 1: mail athletes, even more lopsided, just as more big money

823
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 1: is entering the space. According to a Front Office Sports

824
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: article in October of last year, quote, among the twelve

825
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 1: schools publicly disclosing NIL earnings by gender, menifirmed ninety two

826
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 1: million dollars compared to women's nineteen million dollars, with some

827
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:50,280
Speaker 1: institutions like Texas A and M reporting ninety eight percent

828
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 1: of NIL deals going to men's sports. End quote. This is,

829
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: of course, even though we know that there's research that

830
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 1: shows that women athletes will work harder for their brands,

831
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: care more about the product that they put out, have

832
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,280
Speaker 1: a better brand affinity and ability to sell for those brands,

833
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:05,800
Speaker 1: and are at their peak earning during their college years.

834
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: The disparity and institutional support the sports specific collectives for

835
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,280
Speaker 1: things like football and men's basketball working only for those athletes,

836
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: and the plan to distribute money unequally between men's and

837
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 1: women's sports teams violate the principles of Title nine, even

838
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: if the law couldn't explicitly speak to things like nil

839
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,800
Speaker 1: when it was written fifty years ago. This is bad

840
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: Trump administration. So much for supporting women's sports. Huh, what

841
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: the fact? This what the fact? Brought to you by

842
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 1: elf Beauty. And here's another fact. Elf Beauty's recent report

843
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:38,240
Speaker 1: shows that gender diverse boards lead to positive business results.

844
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 1: SMP five hundred companies with above average gender diversity on

845
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 1: their boards saw a fifteen percent boost in return on

846
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: equity and a fifty percent drop in earning's risk over

847
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 1: a year. You can read the full report at elfbeauty

848
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 1: dot com. Slash not so white paper. All right, slices.

849
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: You might recall that a few days ago we asked

850
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: you to send us platonic Valentine voicemails about your favorite

851
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 1: women's sports figures, and y'all did not disappointed. There are

852
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 1: way too many to play them all, but here are

853
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 1: a few of our faves. First up, Amy from Maine.

854
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 7: This year, I'm sending Valentines to Stei and Fee for

855
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:14,359
Speaker 7: creating Unrivaled. I absolutely love it. It is getting me through

856
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 7: the winter. I'm grateful to them for creating it.

857
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: We are grateful to them too. All right, here's Amanda

858
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:20,879
Speaker 1: from Denver.

859
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 8: I would like to send my Valentine's love out to

860
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 8: for her college women's basketball coach, Vivian Stringer. When I

861
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 8: was sixteen, I was in a car accident and I

862
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 8: sustained a spinal cord injury, and at that time I

863
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:40,840
Speaker 8: was being recruited to play college basketball. She was coaching

864
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 8: at the University of Iowa, and while I was in

865
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 8: the hospital, she sent me a handwritten letter with a

866
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 8: note of encouragement. Due to my injury, it was pretty

867
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 8: clear that I wasn't going to be a archive or

868
00:41:56,800 --> 00:42:00,399
Speaker 8: return to playing the game. That I really loved that

869
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 8: she took the time to do this. Her kindness that

870
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 8: she showed in that letter really lifted me up. And

871
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 8: to this day I still have that letter and pull

872
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:15,840
Speaker 8: it out the time or two when needed to motivate

873
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 8: me to, you know, keep that great at the gym.

874
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 8: And this is in a sense why I am so

875
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 8: dedicated and love women's supports so much, is that I

876
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 8: think personal realities and people like her still exist in

877
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:34,800
Speaker 8: her out there even though she's retired.

878
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 1: Big fans of coach Stringer over here too. Her memoir

879
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: Standing Tall, a Memoir of Tragedy and Triumph, is one

880
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 1: of the books on our Good Game Book Club list.

881
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:45,319
Speaker 1: You should read it if you haven't already. Moving on,

882
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:46,080

Speaker 9: Oh?

00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:28,240
Speaker 10: I definitely do. I want to see a show about

917
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,320
Speaker 10: all of the relationships between US and Canadian women's hockey

918
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:34,839
Speaker 10: players for people that are new to the space. Maybe

919
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 10: you don't know this, but like the US and Canadians

920
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 10: they hate each other, like so much they hate each other,

921
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:44,280
Speaker 10: and yet we have at least three relationships between players

922
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 10: that played for their respective teams and then married or

923
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 10: dated across the border.

924
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,399
