Sarah Adam, you know 46 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: that woman we've been talking about, The first American woman 47 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: to compete in wheelchair rugby at the Paralympics, recorded fourteen 48 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: tries in the final. That tizer with teammate Chuck Aoki 49 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 1: for the team high. In sitting volleyball, the US bounced 50 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: back from a group stage loss against China to beat 51 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: host nation France three sets to none.

As a reminder, 54 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 1: the US was looking to win its third straight Paralympic 55 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: gold medal in the sport. And before you read too 56 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: much into that loss against China, here's a little historical context. 57 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,839 Speaker 1: So the US also lost to China in the group 58 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: stage at both the twenty sixteen and twenty twenty one 59 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: Pairs Olympics, and both times went on to defeat China 60 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 1: in the gold medal match to the NWSL. The Orlando Pride, Yeah, 61 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: you guessed it. They extended their unbeaten streak to nineteen 62 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: games on Sunday. They've won five straight and this one 63 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: they beat Gotham FC two nil, both goals scored by 64 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: Adriana in the first half. The contest was delayed a 65 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: little bit by some heavy duty rain, and the Pride 66 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: social media tape took the chance to poke fun at Gotham, 67 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 1: writing quote, Listen, we know it rains a bunch here, 68 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: but y'all have had so many weather delays over the 69 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: past two years, so this one is on you. 70 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 2: Gotham FC. More soccer. 71 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: Over the weekend, the Chicago Red Stars announced that the 72 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: team traded forward Penelope Hawking to BAFC in exchange for 73 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: a three hundred and fifty thousand dollars transfer fee, with 74 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: Chicago receiving two hundred and fifty thousand dollars this season 75 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: and one hundred thousand dollars next season. Per the Red Stars, Hawking, 76 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: who grew up in southern California, requested the trade in 77 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: order to be. 78 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 2: Closer to home. 79 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: I'm just bummed because I want to see more of 80 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: Penelope Hawking and Mouse wantson speeding up the sidelines and 81 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: playing together. But shouts to the Red Stars were getting 82 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: it done and getting Hawking back home and good luck 83 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: to her in the bay all right. The NWSL is 84 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: called Chaos League for a reason, and the latest confusion 85 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: is thanks to Julia Grosso and also Julia Grasso. It's 86 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 1: spelled the same but pronounced slightly differently. So at the 87 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: end of last week, the NWSL Players Association updated the 88 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: list of players eligible for free agency, and it included. 89 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 2: A surprising name, Julia Grosso. 90 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: That's because back in July, the Chicago Red Stars signed 91 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: Olympic gold medalist and Canadian national team player Julia Grosso 92 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: to a three year contract, meaning she won't be eligible 93 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: for free agency for a while. But that's not the 94 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: Grasso Grosso the list was referring to. It was talking 95 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: about American soccer player Julia Grasso, who had been playing 96 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: with the Australian club Melbourne but was in the process 97 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,799 Speaker 1: of signing with a yet to be announced NWSL club, 98 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: And on Sunday that club was confirmed to be the 99 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 1: Utah Royals, which signed Grasso to a contract through the 100 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: end of the twenty twenty four season. If you kept 101 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: up with that, congratulations, We're going to keep scanning that 102 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 1: free agency list for names that surprise us and make 103 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 1: sure there aren't titty doubles out there. Meanwhile, in the WNBA, 104 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: there's only one Asia Wilson, but she's basically scorn for two. 105 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: Asia Wilson's in the ACES ninety seven to seventy nine 106 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: winner with the Murcury on Sunday. The MVP front runner 107 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: dropped forty one points and put up seventeen boards. Candae 108 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: Parker's the only other player ever to put up forty 109 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 1: and fifteen. Asia's the first to a forty seventeen game. 110 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 1: And we've talked a lot about the Aces struggles this 111 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: season and their chances of three peating, and if anyone 112 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: had any doubts about how seriously Asia Wilson's taking that challenge, 113 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 1: while she quelled those over the weekend, fans might have 114 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 1: noticed that she's shown up to the team's last six 115 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 1: straight games wearing baggie white T shirts. No tunnel fits 116 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 1: for Wilson, just the same white T shirt. When she 117 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: was asked about the fashion choice by Las Vegas Review Journals, 118 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: Callie Lawson Freeman. Wilson said quote, I have to want 119 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: to put on clothes right now where I am. I 120 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: don't feel like I deserve to put on clothes right now. 121 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 1: My main focus is just getting WINSUOT. We'll link to 122 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 1: Kelly's full story in the show notes a lot of 123 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: people having fun with Asia's white T shirts. If you remember, 124 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 1: there was a thought that Bam Autobio, who we think 125 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: she's dating but they haven't hard launched, made a comment 126 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,559 Speaker 1: about doesn't anybody have any irons anymore these days? Because 127 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: she was showing up in the wrinkled tea. But now 128 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: it's sort of a thing, and fans are showing up 129 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: to games in all white T shirts in support of her. 130 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: She's getting shout outs from music groups that are known 131 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 1: for wearing all white teas. It's a thing now, like 132 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: somehow Asia Wilson is so amazing that she's making a 133 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: plane wrinkled white tea a thing. By the way, during 134 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: that Mercury loss to the Aces that we just mentioned, 135 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: both Diana Tarassi and Natasha Cloud each picked up their 136 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: seventh technical foul of the season, and that adds to 137 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: the Mercury's WNBA all time season record for techs. They've 138 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: got thirty three in counting the fowls. Put both players 139 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 1: in position a miss tonight's game against the Atlanta Dream. 140 00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 1: As reminder, players have to serve a one game un 141 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: paid suspension upon receiving a seventh technical in a season. 142 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: But if you think that Tarassi's about to punch another 143 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 1: door over this, think again. And if you don't get 144 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: that door reference, stay tuned later in the show. 145 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:11,559 Speaker 2: But back to Sunday. 146 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: After the game, DT and Sophie Cunningham, we're asked about 147 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: the text at the press conference podium. 148 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 2: Let's roll on that clip. 149 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 3: It looks like there's been a lot of eyes on 150 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 3: us this year. I know we have a lot of 151 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 3: fiery people. I know we've set the record for most techs. 152 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 3: So we got to look ourselves in the mirror and 153 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 3: see how we can do better. But you know, moving forward. Shit, 154 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 3: we're grown women. Stop being so sensitive on both ends. 155 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 2: Well, mine's definitely getting rescinded, so I'm good. I'll be 156 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 2: playing the next game. Thanks. 157 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: Okay, So here's the thing, slices we hear a good game. 158 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: Believe in the power of podcast, the efficacy of audio storytelling, 159 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: but there are limitations to the medium, and we're really 160 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: feeling that right now because when I tell you that 161 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: DT had the biggest shit eating grin on her face 162 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: when Cunningham mentioned leading the league in techs, I guarantee 163 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: that right now you are not picturing a big enough grin. 164 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: We'll link to that video in the show notes. You 165 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: can see just how shit eaten it was. Oh and 166 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: by the way, DT was writ in that clip. On Monday, 167 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: the WNBA did announce that had overturned her tech, meaning 168 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: she's back at six on the season.

You have been covering tennis forever, and 364 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: you've been specifically covering the US Open a bunch. What 365 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 1: can you tell us about the specifics around this venue. 366 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: It's like the most attended that makes the most money, 367 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,199 Speaker 1: it's like so special, But what is it about the 368 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: space and maybe covering it? Do you are there any 369 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 1: like tricks to getting around or to getting to the 370 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 1: athletes or anything like that that we wouldn't know as 371 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 1: just regular pleaps. 372 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 4: Well, by the time you get here, I always tell 373 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 4: people like, don't be starry eyed by the Arthur Ashe Stadium, 374 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 4: the Louis Armstrong, like the big stadiums. There's four big stadiums, 375 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 4: Arthur ash, Louis Armstrong, Grandstan, and Stadium seventeen. Like go 376 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,360 Speaker 4: to the outer course. But because by the time you 377 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 4: get here, there's going to be the juniors that are 378 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,120 Speaker 4: starting to play, and the juniors are kind of your 379 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 4: glimpse to the future generation. But if you come back 380 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 4: next year, the fan week is like it is becoming 381 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 4: like the new Hottis thing. They started the fan Week 382 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,159 Speaker 4: two days earlier and it's just a great way you 383 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 4: can watch qualifying. You get a lot of most of 384 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 4: the top tier players are just out here roaming around 385 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 4: practicing and it's such a phenomenal experience. 386 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, we talked to Taylor Townsend who got to play 387 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: in the fan week with Boris Kojo, So there's some 388 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 1: celebs playing, and also there's a lot of the US 389 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 1: open activations around different communities and supporting the concept of 390 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: being open and that, like you said, during COVID, when 391 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 1: they really committed themselves to making tennis not just about 392 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 1: their traditions and the things that have potentially held it 393 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 1: back from certain communities, but expanding beyond that too. 394 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 2: Which we really love. 395 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,880 Speaker 1: Yes, Producer Alex has some important tennis questions. Number one, 396 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 1: she wants to know what color is the tennis ball? 397 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 4: I want to go with a grease yellow, yellowish green. 398 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 2: That's the problem. 399 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 1: That's not an answer. That is two colors. What color 400 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: is the tennis ball? 401 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 4: I'm not going to get drawn into this kind of 402 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 4: dichotomous kind of conversation where you got to have a 403 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 4: hot take and pick a side. We did all. We 404 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 4: did that back in the day when when you are 405 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 4: you and I were on Radis influenced by the culture. 406 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,400 Speaker 4: Just have a hot take just to have a hot 407 00:18:58,440 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 4: Take'm not going to do that. 408 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 2: I'm not doing it. We're not doing it. Here's greenish 409 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 2: yellow and yellowish screen. That's right. 410 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 4: I'm here representing the gray. Great because it's not black 411 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:06,160 Speaker 4: and white. 412 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 2: Gray. 413 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: Perfect if I were Tony reality, I would mute the 414 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:10,920 Speaker 1: out of you right now. But this is a different place, 415 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,199 Speaker 1: so I'm not going to tell you that greenish yellow and. 416 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 2: Yellow screen is the correct answer. Oh. In fact, I 417 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,120 Speaker 2: had to consider that. 418 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 1: When I was getting my nails done because I was like, 419 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 1: do I go green or yellow? 420 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 2: Or do I go greenish yellow or yellow screen? Nobody knows? 421 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:26,360 Speaker 2: That's nobody knows. 422 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 1: Okay, Why does tennis require spectators to be silent but 423 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: other sports don't, Like would it actually be more difficult 424 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 1: to serve if people were like talking or yelling. 425 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 4: I think it's a fantastic question. I think that's like 426 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 4: a cultural thing, right, because every sport has its own 427 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 4: cultural cultural components and norms, Like golf has always been 428 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 4: kind of one of those like higher socioeconomic experience. 429 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 2: A gentleman's game. 430 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 4: It's a gentleman's game. Tennis, yes, it was kind of 431 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,360 Speaker 4: like catered toward the social lights and everything. But the USTA, 432 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 4: which is the sports governing body of all of tennis, 433 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 4: they're doing their best to make it more inclusive and 434 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 4: more accessible and just like more casual, more fun. So yeah, 435 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 4: so like one thing that they did change, they changed 436 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,239 Speaker 4: the rules before bands would only be able to get 437 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 4: to their seats and like come down or through the 438 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:16,160 Speaker 4: stadiums on the changeover, which is every two games this year, 439 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 4: it only after the game, so they act can actually 440 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 4: go up and down. See you go to any of 441 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 4: the stadiums, there's actually a lot more movement that you 442 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 4: would see in years past. But from a personality perspective, Spain, 443 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 4: I think that US Open is like great for you 444 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 4: because it is by far like the most fun, energetic, colorful, 445 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 4: dynamic Grand Slam and arguably like tennis sermon throughout the year. 446 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,160 Speaker 1: Imagine in tennis though, if it was like soccer chants 447 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: and they were like, oh there are full on, but 448 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: like during the play, if it was just as loud 449 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: and yeah, like in soccer when you're living, Yeah, there's 450 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:55,400 Speaker 1: like vouvuzelas when someone's trying to serve, which reminds me actually, 451 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 1: so do you think there will ever be a time 452 00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: when there will be coaching allowed during games in tennis? 453 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 2: Because I also think that's a stupid. 454 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: Rule if you are in the middle of a game 455 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 1: and the coach can see something like why do we 456 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: make it such a solo endeavor where you're alone out there, 457 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 1: and in theory you can't be, even though they sometimes 458 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: are alleged to it be sending signs to each other 459 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: and things in the crowd. 460 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 4: Yeah, they have losing the rules. They are allowing coaching. 461 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 4: I would have to review like how some things have changed, 462 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,439 Speaker 4: but they've actually become more lenient with it. So coaching 463 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,119 Speaker 4: is Yeah, coaching is now allowed. I would have to 464 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 4: try to like review which tournaments in certain circumstances, but 465 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 4: they have now they are now like the US Open. 466 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,640 Speaker 1: You you still can't have your coach like sitting court 467 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:37,919 Speaker 1: side and telling you what's going on. 468 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,439 Speaker 4: No, not not quart syte, but like that's the whole 469 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 4: I suppose as a whole. You know what makes tennis 470 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 4: so unique is that you don't have fifty two teammates 471 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 4: or four other teammates like you're it's just monoly mono. 472 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 2: They're all alone out there. 473 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 4: Bar, it's a lonely sport. 474 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 2: Girl, No wonder you went to get your master's in 475 00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 2: its college. 476 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 4: We'll traumatize. 477 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 2: Man. 478 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 4: I got all sorts of like social issues and you 479 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 4: know that, like weird man. 480 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I am so excited to see you. 481 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: I'm so excited to experience the magic of the US 482 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:15,160 Speaker 1: Open Virtual hug now. 483 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 2: But I will see you at. 484 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: The Billy Jean King Tentis Tentis Billy Jean King Tennis Center, 485 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: and we will, perhaps when you're off the clock, we 486 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: will share a US Open Paloma. 487 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,680 Speaker 4: Yes, Yes, and a honey deuce. 488 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,919 Speaker 1: Thanks so much to Prim for taking some time in 489 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,239 Speaker 1: the bowels of Billy Jean King Tennis Center.

And listen, 510 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 1: some of you new fans might understand now why us 511 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: old heads weren't surprised by DT's welcome message for the 512 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 1: rookies like Caitlin Clark. If you remember, her quote was 513 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 1: reality is coming. It was very brash, it was honest, 514 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: it was competitive, it was spicy, and that's Diana. That's 515 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: always been Diana. You gotta love it or if you 516 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: hate it, it doesn't matter. That's always going to be her. 517 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 1: And by the way, she was right because Kitlyn Clark 518 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 1: stumbled in the early games. She has since worked her 519 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: way into understanding the size, the speed, the strength of 520 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,679 Speaker 1: the league. And along the way, Tarassi has praised Caitlin 521 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 1: Clark's improvement and her quote remarkable rookie season. So she 522 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: can talk to smack and she can also tell you 523 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: when you're doing a good job too. So in honor 524 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: of DT making news ug in for another tech even 525 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: if it was rescinded making news for that fiery temper 526 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 1: hug in, Let's take a walk down memory lane and 527 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,159 Speaker 1: induct another great moment in women's sports lore into the 528 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: Good Game Hall of Fame. 529 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 2: Yes, the Good Game Hall of Fame. 530 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,199 Speaker 1: It's the place where we try to give you the 531 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: stories you should already know about women's sports. We are 532 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 1: chock full of lore. On the men's side, we know 533 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 1: all the stories, we repeat them all the time. But 534 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,919 Speaker 1: on the women's side, there are stories we should all know, 535 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 1: and this is one of them. 536 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 2: It was twenty twenty one. 537 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 1: The Chicago Sky had just defeated the Phoenix Mercury to 538 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: win their first WNBA championship, led by hometown hero Candace Parker, 539 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: Finals MVP Colia Copper, and point guard extraordinary Courtney Van 540 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,360 Speaker 1: der Slut. Yes, none of them are on the Sky anymore. 541 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about it. After the loss, 542 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 1: Dina Tarassi was reportedly so pissed she slammed a door 543 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: in the visiting locker room over and over again until 544 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 1: it cracked like a big, fat, can't miss it crack, 545 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: a huge crack. Tarasi and the Mercury notoriously skipped the 546 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: postgame interviews that day, but a few days later, she 547 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 1: neither confirmed nor denied her duel with the door, telling 548 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: reporters quote, there were a lot of doors in there. 549 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 2: Now. 550 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: The story could have ended there, but news of the 551 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 1: broken door had made it out to the public and 552 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: it became a prime trolling opportunity for the Sky players 553 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 1: and the team's social media because a few days later 554 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 1: at the sky Championship parade and rally, what was on 555 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: stage with them celebrating the big win that brokeass door? 556 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 1: And the Sky Twitter account even posted a photo of 557 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 1: the door on stage with the absolutely savage caption just 558 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: in we have a special guest appearance at the Skytown 559 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 1: Championship Rally, and you guys thought it was going to 560 00:25:58,840 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: be Chance the Rapper. 561 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,160 Speaker 2: Oh it was so funny, so good. 562 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 1: I'm still holding out hope for some behind the scenes 563 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 1: footage of whoever was in charge of dragging the door 564 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 1: out of the arena, onto the bus onto the stage. 565 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 2: We haven't seen it, but I know it's out there. 566 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 1: So in honor of Tarasi's absolutely legendary competitiveness and bowing 567 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: down to the epic drama and pageantry provided by the 568 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: Sky on that day, dragging that damn door all the 569 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,680 Speaker 1: way to Grant Park. We proudly induct the Diana Tarassi 570 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: door incident into the Good Game Hall of Fame. Also 571 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: remember earlier in the show when we told you about 572 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 1: that Julia Grosso Grosso tail. Well, the two Julia's. The 573 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:45,400 Speaker 1: Julia's aren't alone. There are all sorts of name twins 574 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 1: across sports. In fact, in the old early days of 575 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 1: Google in MySpace, there was a holy Cross tennis player 576 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: named Sarah Spain, and she and I found each other online. 577 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,440 Speaker 1: Every once in a while, she'd search her name, she'd 578 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 1: find Sarah Spain Cornell Track, and I would find Sarah Spain, 579 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 1: holy Cross Tennis. Shout out up wherever you are, Sarah Spain. 580 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 1: And there are so many more. There's so many more 581 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,360 Speaker 1: name twins, and you will not be shocked to learn 582 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 1: that producer Alex even has a list of them. 583 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 2: Alex hit us with a couple good ones. 584 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 5: I'm gonna skip the time that I almost didn't get 585 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 5: a free massage because the place I went to thought 586 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 5: that I was my cousin alex Azzi, who had already 587 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 5: cashed in on the free massage. 588 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 2: All right, Women's. 589 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,360 Speaker 5: Sports name twins. Let's get to it. 590 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:26,159 Speaker 4: First. 591 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 5: Up is the case of the two carly Lloyd's. Both 592 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,639 Speaker 5: competed for Team USA at the twenty sixteen Rio Olympics. 593 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,160 Speaker 5: And I'm kind of guessing that all of our listeners 594 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 5: are familiar with soccer Carly Lloyd, but there was also 595 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 5: a Carly Lloyd on the US volleyball team and she 596 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,199 Speaker 5: went on to win bronze. And while I know for 597 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,679 Speaker 5: a fact that volleyball carly Lloyd has always had to 598 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 5: deal with questions about soccer Carly Lloyd, I feel like 599 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 5: it could occasionally go the other way too. Next up 600 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 5: an example that you'd likely only know about if you've 601 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 5: been tasked with chasing down and interviewing the world's best canoists, 602 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,919 Speaker 5: and that's Teresa Portella, one from Portugal and one from Spain, 603 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,879 Speaker 5: and they both compete in canoeing. I was in Milan 604 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,360 Speaker 5: for the twenty fifteen World Champs in that sport and 605 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 5: was trying to figure out the difference between canoeing and 606 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 5: kayaking and having to keep tabs on which Teresa Portella 607 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 5: was competing in, which event most certainly only added to 608 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 5: the confusion. All Right, Finally, the last example I know 609 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 5: of is Yangyang and Yangyang, two short track speed skaters. 610 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 5: They overlapped on the Chinese national team in the early 611 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 5: two thousands, even sharing a podium at the two thousand 612 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 5: and two Salt Lake Olympics. And interesting about them, their 613 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 5: names are actually different in Chinese, but when it is 614 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 5: transliterated to Latin script, they become the same, and so 615 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 5: as a result, they were dubbed Yangyang a in parentheses 616 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 5: and Yangyang s in parentheses. 617 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 1: Gosh, I keep coming back to Bachelor and Bachelorette references, 618 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 1: which really tells you what kind of hold that show 619 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 1: has in my brain. 620 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 2: But that reminds me of when there's always like a 621 00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 2: Brad b Brad d Brads Brad. Al. 622 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, Yanyong and Yangyong on the same team in the 623 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 1: same podium. That's an impressive one. Al, I'm sure there 624 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: are some more out there. And so that's when it 625 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 1: comes to y'all. We love that you're listening, but we 626 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 1: always love it when you get in the game every 627 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: day too. So our good gameplay of the day is 628 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 1: to tell us about some name twins, preferably there in 629 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 1: women's sports.
