35
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: multiple sources expect White, who's still under contract with the Sun,

36
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 2: to be the Fever's next head coach end quote.

37
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,320

00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 2: team isn't renewing the contract of GM Natalie Williams. So

43
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 2: that makes three current teams now searching for a new GM,

44
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 2: with the Aces joining the Mystics and the Wings, not

45
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 2: to mention the Toronto and Portland expansion teams that will

46
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 2: begin play in twenty twenty six. To soccer, the final

47
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 2: of the NWSL Times lega Mxfeminil Summer Cup was played

00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,800

Speaker 2: who scored both goals in the two nil win over

51
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 2: Gotham FC. The earlier rounds of the Summer Cup were

52
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: held during the Olympic break when teams lost big chunks

53
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: of their rosters to international duty, and the final was

54
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: no different. In fact, Gotham signed seven replacement players to

55
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: fill international team players.

56
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:54,520

60
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 2: shoe that will be available in twenty twenty six. Reese

61
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,640

62
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 2: shoe with Reebok, joining Rebecca Lobo, whose shoe was available

63

65
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:26,240

106
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 2: I'm assuming this is a big get for our show,

107
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 2: both faces of the league, multiple leagues, really that you're

108
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 2: the faces of I want to start with the WNBA, though,

109
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 2: since we just put a bow on that season and

110
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 2: said I want to start with you. What was the

111
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 2: scene like for the Aces in the locker room after

112
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 2: elimination this year because you made that bid for a

113
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 2: three peat, couldn't quite go the distance. So much to

114
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 2: be excited and proud of, but still hurts. What was

115
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 2: it like in the locker room?

116
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 5: Wow, it hurts more when you weren it like that.

117
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 5: I was fun, I was fine until that. Yeah, I

118
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 5: think it was, like I'll send this to a couple

119
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 5: of people. I think it was kind of like, not

120
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 5: super surprising, because we hadn't played like the team that

121
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 5: most people were used to seeing us play like the

122
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 5: last two seasons.

123
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 3: So I think it was.

124
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 5: We have been foreshadowing it all season because we just

125
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 5: couldn't get it right consistently enough, and a lot of

126
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 5: teams were playing Several teams were just playing better throughout

127
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 5: the course of the season and definitely better once playoff

128
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 5: time hit, and so I think we just realized once

129
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 5: the season ended, like we just got work to do

130
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 5: in the offseason, like we need to reset, refocus, come

131
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 5: back with a different motivation and you know, try to get.

132
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 2: There's a lot of emotion from Asia Wilson this year,

133
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 2: particularly when she got her MVP honors, and she said

134
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 2: that you molded her into the leader she is and

135
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 2: that she appreciated you speaking up for her and being

136
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 2: a voice for her when she sometimes didn't feel heart

137
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 2: Can you tell us about your mentorship role there.

138
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 3: I don't know.

139
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 5: I guess I wouldn't even call it like mentorship, but

140
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 5: it was just our friendship, you know, just happened to

141
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 5: be older than her.

142
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean.

143
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 5: Since I met Asia, I just felt like she was

144
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 5: a really good person. It was just crazy to see,

145
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 5: Like everybody talks about it a lot about her being

146
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 5: like the most humble superstar, but it's it's not just

147
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 5: like lip service. She really is one of the most

148
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 5: talented and humble people. I mean, like that should be

149
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 5: an expectation I feel like for people, but it's not.

150
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 5: It's not what we come across, especially not in athletes.

151
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 5: So I don't know, I just gravitated toward her because

152
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 5: of that part of her, not even the basketball, just

153
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 5: she's a solid person and so you know, she's always

154
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 5: been kind of like I'm gonna sit back and let

155
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 5: other people lead vocally. She was always doing it physically,

156
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 5: but I would always just you know, trying to be

157
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 5: getting her to speak up more and speak up more,

158
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 5: like for herself too, especially when you're that person on

159
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 5: the team. You don't have to be mean or demonstrative,

160
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 5: but people need to be reminded sometimes like this is

161
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 5: my this is my shit, and I think gidding, Yeah,

162
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 5: so I'm like come to the time out.

163
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 3: Like I need the ball.

164
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

165
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 5: So when she wouldn't say it, I'm saying it to everybody,

166
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 5: like for her be known like this team is in

167
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 5: my eyes. So yeah, it was just like a friendship

168
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 5: that just turned into me trying to rub the kind

169
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 5: of leader I would be onto her if I was

170
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 5: a superstar exactly.

171
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: TP you got waved by the storm in May of

172
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: last year.

173
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 2: We've seen a lot of W players spend some time

174
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 2: away from the league and they get back in with

175
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 2: the team. Is that your goal to get back in

176
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 2: the W when you look ahead to next W season.

177
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 4: I think that is definitely an opportunity for me to

178
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 4: try to pursue. I love the W I've played my

179
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 4: entire career on. I guess you've named like half the

180
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 4: teams in the league at this point that both of us,

181
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 4: every single team was named. So it is something that

182
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to doing in this upcoming season. Also

183
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 4: with the expansion team, there's more opportunity there because, as

184
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 4: we know, this is one of the hardest leagues to

185
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 4: make and to maintain a career in. So it'd be

186
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 4: an extremely wonderful opportunity to be able to step back

187
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 4: foot in the W and have one more go at it.

188
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: What have you been up to the last year?

189
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 4: Oh, what haven't I've been up to. I've been doing

190
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 4: a lot of family stuff. I've been training, I've been

191
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 4: I almost took a job overseas. I did actually go

192
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 4: got strained in Greece halfway to Israel, and then just

193
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 4: turned it on back around. All my flights to Israel

194
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 4: kept getting canceled or delayed indefinitely, which I guess therefore

195
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 4: meaning canceled. Yeah, but I wasn't stranded in Greece, which

196
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 4: wasn't like the worst place to be straded for no,

197
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 4: five days and it was it was nice. Then the

198
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 4: war got a little too intense. So you know what,

199
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 4: I'm going to go to uh a place where I

200
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 4: have two dogs that love me and pa oh I

201
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 4: have been going to so my dad and I have

202
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 4: this nineteen sixty five bus stang and we've been Her

203
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 4: name is Sally. Yeah, we've been in Sally and Nacarsia.

204
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 4: She is pretty love.

205
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: That Sally much.

206
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 4: Yes.

207
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: Wait, so two dogs?

208
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 2: I really I feel like the one dog erasure and

209
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 2: your intro I apologize for that. Can you tell us

210
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 2: other than Yamantha who you are the mother of?

211
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yamantha, Yeah, Yams, but Yamantha for long? And then

212
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 4: Yams's older brother's name is Chip. He's a eleven year

213
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 4: old cheweiny oh. I got him. I was in colleg

214
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 4: we lost out the tournament and those dog popped up

215
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 4: on my Instagram page, and like any college student would do,

216
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 4: made the terrible decision to have responsibility.

217
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:08,559
Speaker 1: Yeah.

218
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 4: So I got him at that point and he loves

219
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 4: me and he can't stand Yamantha.

220
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 1: Great, yeah, good dynamic.

221
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 2: You mentioned twelve more players for the Valkyries next year

222
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 2: than twenty four more in twenty six with Portland and

223
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 2: Toronto getting going. How do you see expansion affecting play

224
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 2: quality and league growth?

225
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 4: I think that you know, for years and years, we've

226
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 4: been asking for expansion, asking for expansion because there's been

227
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 4: quite a few instances where people have not made a

228
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 4: team because of something outside of what they're capable of

229
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 4: doing on court or and for that team it's either

230
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,719
Speaker 4: a money issue, a numbers issue, what have you. But

231
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 4: you have really talented athletes getting cut and not being

232
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 4: able to maintain their job in the w due to

233
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 4: these issues. So I think having an expansion team is

234
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 4: really important. With that, we have these teams that have

235
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 4: multiple Olympians, multiple superstars, So you would have to think

236
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 4: with more money on the table with these expansion teams,

237
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 4: you're gonna see a lot more movement and free agency.

238
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 4: We're gonna shuffle the cards a little bit and see

239
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 4: where they may fall with these expansion teams, and I

240
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 4: think it's going to create some new excitement around the league. Also,

241
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 4: like women's sports are hot right now, this is the

242
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 4: time to get in and get active. And I think

243
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 4: that the markets that we chose to expand in have

244
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 4: always showed an appreciation for women's sports, and I think

245
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 4: this is just like the cherry on top.

246
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it does feel like with the upcoming CBA

247
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 2: negotiations to a lot of players are just going to

248
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 2: do those one year deals and wait till that money

249
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 2: hits and be able to choose based on some of

250
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 2: that said, when you look back at this twenty twenty

251
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 2: four season, like TP just said, incredible growth and popularity,

252
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 2: record attendance, merch sales, ratings, all the good stuff, but

253
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 2: also a lot of odd a bounds commentary, a lot

254
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 2: of toxicity online, new fans, new media parachuting in sometimes

255
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 2: deleterious effect. How would you sum up your experience as

256
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 2: a player, balancing both sides of what went on this year.

257
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 5: Well, I think for a lot of it, I was

258
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 5: seeing it from like the outside. I think there are

259
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 5: certain players who are gonna have a way different perspective

260
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 5: because they were involved in either receiving some of the

261
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 5: racism and misogyny whatever it may may have been. And yeah,

262
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 5: for me, I think that we have an understanding that

263
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 5: the wider your fan base grows, you are going to

264
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 5: have people who come and are not necessarily in it

265
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 5: because they love women's basketball. They might love a person,

266
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 5: or they might just love the fact that this thing

267
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 5: is growing in popularity and.

268
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 3: They're trolling now.

269
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 5: So it's like it's gonna come with the territory of

270
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 5: getting bigger, you really can't run from it.

271
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 3: I think that's with.

272
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 5: Any any sport, any like big celebrity trolls are going

273
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,839
Speaker 5: to be there. But I think it's really important that

274
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 5: our leadership in the W and our players speak up

275
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 5: for one another, that we make it clear that, like

276
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 5: we don't stand for certain stuff.

277
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 3: Now what people do after that point, you can't.

278
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 5: Control what people do, but I let it be known that, like,

279
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 5: you know, like this is unnecessary. It's not a lot

280
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 5: of the time, it's not even funny. Honestly, some of

281
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:19,119
Speaker 5: this stuff I can I could job with it, yeah, Joe,

282
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 5: you know, but like a lot of this stuff is

283
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 5: just like really redundant, very very boring.

284
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 3: And so it was it was very cool to see

285
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 3: the growth.

286
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 5: Well, it's great to see so many people interested in

287
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 5: the W And even if they came for Angel Caitlyn Cameron,

288
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 5: like the rookie class Rakia, they got to see other players,

289
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 5: I think, and uh, that's a good thing. And so

290
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 5: hopefully that keeps growing and then you know, slowly the

291
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 5: losers just start to like weed themselves out.

292
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 3: One would help.

293
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh, let's talk athletes.

294
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 2: Unlimited basketball upcoming twenty twenty five season is in Nashville.

295
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: Either of you have any music skills that we're going

296
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 1: to see you show off on way?

297
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're actually taking our tallem.

298
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: So No, then.

299
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 4: That was just a little taste of what's yet to come.

300
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 4: We haven't had time to prepare. We had to go

301
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 4: get a little bit of our right, I would what

302
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 4: she did. Yeah, No, but you tried hard, like you

303
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 4: went for it though. The courage that you had to

304
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 4: like try to go for that was incredible though, so

305
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 4: much respect for you.

306
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 2: Said, the best response to either taking your clothes off

307
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 2: or trying to perform is when someone says it was courageous.

308
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: Uh, so, congrats to that.

309
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 4: You didn't have the taking your clothes off part, because

310
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 4: that would have been that.

311
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: Did not happen. Yea for those listings that did not happen.

312
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 2: It's just those are two things that you would prefer

313
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 2: a different response to than courageous.

314
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: Do we have cowboy boots already? Are we do? We

315
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: at least have the fits.

316
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 4: No, I have some bring I'll be going to get

317
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 4: fitted for some in the future.

318
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 2: Okay, Sid, you're part of the Athletes Unlimited executive committee

319
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 2: who served as a chairperson from twenty twenty two to

320
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 2: twenty three. Can you tell us how AU is different

321
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 2: than other leagues, not just with the scoring, but also

322
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 2: like player involvement and equity.

323
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

324
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 5: I think Athletes Unlimited like my My desire to be

325
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 5: a part of it when it first came about was

326
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 5: because Natasha Cloud like brought it to a few W

327
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 5: players when they were thinking about starting a women's league

328
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 5: or a basketball league, and I was out of the

329
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 5: W at that point, and I was like, Okay, well

330
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 5: I still want to play competitively.

331
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 3: This being player led.

332
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 5: This sounds really cool and plus I would love to

333
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 5: be a part of like building something with other players,

334
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 5: and so I just like, I love the model. I

335
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 5: love the scoring system, how it's different, the leader board,

336
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 5: and how you switch teams every week. It's the first

337
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 5: player led pro league like outside of the W in

338
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 5: the off season, so there they had a proven concept

339
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 5: and a proven model like with their other sports LF wall, lacrosse, volleyball.

340
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 5: So for me, it wasn't a huge risk. It was

341
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 5: like they know what they're doing. We would just be

342
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 5: coming on and adding our insight into what we know

343
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 5: about the w and what we know about overseas basketball,

344
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 5: and like combining all of that to help them continue

345
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 5: to build this beyond when we're the player Executive Committee

346
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 5: and so we have steak in the company, which is

347
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 5: really awesome. Like even if you just play one year,

348
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 5: you still have stake. And so there are a lot

349
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 5: of things about this that John Patrickcroff and Jonathan Soros,

350
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 5: they created this to really be something that players can

351
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 5: be proud of and that you can take part in.

352
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 5: And it's fun. All the players that come here, they

353
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 5: have a great time. It's gone from six weeks to

354
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 5: five weeks. But being in Nashville had a lot of

355
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 5: people excited too, So we're happy, which we're here right now.

356
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 5: Actually we're about to leave when we get off with

357
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 5: you and go to just like a press conference a

358
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 5: panel to get people excited in the city about this.

359
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 5: So yeah, it's cool. I'm glad that I've been a

360
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 5: part of it these last these first four years. But

361
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 5: hopefully it just continues to grow.

362
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, and what keeps bringing you back, especially when you

363
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 2: when you win two titles with the Aces. You know,

364
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 2: instead of going abroad or resting, why do you keep

365
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 2: coming back to AU.

366
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 5: I'm older, I've been over the overseas lifestyle for a

367
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,719
Speaker 5: long time. I was never making enough money for it

368
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 5: to make sense to me. I'm like, let me work

369
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 5: on things that I'm gonna do when basketball is done.

370
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 5: So they're coaching like I coached at Rice for two years,

371
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 5: or like work on just like staying here and taking

372
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 5: acting classes, Like, let me just do something. I would

373
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 5: rather lose money right now and hopefully get it back

374
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 5: down the line, keep going and be annoyed with insane coaches.

375
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, this is the opportunity calls. It just

376
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 3: didn't make sense.

377
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, TP, you're the daughter of a coach, and in

378
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 2: a lot of ways that AU the players are the

379
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 2: coaches too. So should other places consider that as a

380
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 2: bonus when drafting teams each week and adding you that

381
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 2: you basically you know, you get to bring all the

382
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 2: skills that you grew up with.

383
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's just a bonus to spend time

384
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 4: with me generally, But I mean with all these other additives,

385
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 4: I would say that my mom's coaching experience. I've been

386
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 4: around the game of basketball since I literally had a

387
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 4: basketball in my Like, what's the plastic crib that they

388
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 4: put babies in? That kind of sounds like inhumane, but

389
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,199
Speaker 4: you know when you're born, they like put you in

390
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 4: that like plastic clear crib.

391
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, getting a visual yeah.

392
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, in the hospital. Yeah yeah, No, I had a

393
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 4: basketball in there, so like yeah, so ever since then,

394
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 4: like basketball has been in my blood. I love like

395
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 4: seeing the game. I love like reading the game. Like

396
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 4: I was talking about picking rolls as like a six

397
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 4: year old, which isn't I would say common.

398
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, you were five foot eight though, right at six?

399
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 4: Part of why cowering? Yeah, I was towering over everyone

400
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 4: beside my brother. That man is way too big.

401
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: Wait is your mom named do Be?

402
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 2: Like? My hunch is that it's based on the show

403
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 2: that had the Bee that taught you how right?

404
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm writing.

405
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm writing a book, and that literally came up

406
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 2: in the book.

407
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 3: This are you writing it or somebody writing it for you?

408
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 2: No, No, I'm writing it about someone else. That's how

409
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 2: talented a writer. I'm I'm the one that they come to.

410
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 2: I know can you believe it? Anyway, there's a whole

411
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,199
Speaker 2: section on that show and the Doobies, and I was like,

412
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 2: that's got to be where the name comes from.

413
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 4: I love that is. That's so great.

414
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: You guys are always full of jokes, your pranksters.

415
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 2: Obviously I need a story of when you went too far,

416
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 2: either with a teammate or like a moment where a

417
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 2: coach wanted to keep it serious.

418
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 3: Go for it.

419
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 4: Okay. So this was one of the first days of

420
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 4: practice and we're in unlb's gym and we're going over

421
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 4: like some film about one of our like preseason games

422
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 4: or something like that, and like everybody's in these like

423
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 4: folding chairs, like surrounded by this rolling TV. And Sydney's

424
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 4: like placed on the floor like like the small people

425
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 4: that can like contort themselves into sitting however they want

426
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 4: to sit, wasn't in the front row. And so we're

427
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 4: watching this clip and the clip is like the Paul

428
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 4: gets skipped up to Sydney and it gets paused, and

429
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 4: so Becky's like, where's Sydney, Where's Sydney, And like you

430
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 4: just see this hand in the front like get raised

431
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 4: and she's like here literally in that voice, and Becky

432
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 4: was like, sid what's your aunt one name?

433
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 1: And City was like a little poop and.

434
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 4: Then he like plays the clip. Sidney took like three

435
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 4: more dribbles and like turned it over.

436
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 3: She did.

437
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 5: Oh.

438
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 4: She was like, you could have passed it before you

439
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 4: took all these dribbles to just pass it next time.

440
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 4: But Sidney thought she was about to get like an

441
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 4: ant one compliment. Yeah, I was just telling her to

442
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 4: pass the ball.

443
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was to answer her question though. That was

444
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 3: just a funny story.

445
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: She's a funny story.

446
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 3: Too far, som went too far?

447
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: Yeah?

448
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 2: What about with like our favorite celebrity couple Apostra Bam,

449
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 2: that's what we call Asia and Bam.

450
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 3: I know nothing about that.

451
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm, not based on your tweets.

452
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 3: I'm just honestly, I'll just get in there and say so.

453
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 4: So he likes to stir the pot. I don't know

454
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 4: if you've seen her other tweets, but there's evidence that

455
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 4: she's a popstar.

456
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,719
Speaker 3: Yeah. People say I went too far with the dress.

457
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: No, not far enough. Should have worn it right, That's.

458
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 5: What I feel I'm thinking about. I'm nice doll, But

459
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 5: when did we go too far? Probably like in practice,

460
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 5: like when when the coaches got there in twenty twenty two,

461
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 5: they weren't used to our humor, Like they didn't know us.

462
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 5: They're coming from the NBA, where I guess it's more

463
00:21:54,840 --> 00:22:03,719
Speaker 5: classy or something. Sure said, we're way more raunchy than them,

464
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 5: So like we would just Becky could say anything.

465
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 3: She's like, yo, just like next time, just penetrate driving in.

466
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,959
Speaker 4: The hole, like get up the middle.

467
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 5: And we're like, you know, like we're like giggling, like

468
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 5: that's what she said? Or what was the play that

469
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 5: we had and we wanted to name it? I want

470
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 5: to say coucie or something.

471
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 4: Like, Yeah, are we allowed to say that on air?

472
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 2: Yeah? You're allowed to say anything you Yeah.

473
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 4: Okay, we got our problem.

474
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: Are we getting a season two of this show?

475
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 4: Sid in TP Yeah, we sure hope. So we're gonna

476
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 4: say yes, We're just gonna manifest it. There's there's talks

477
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 4: about it, there's interest in it, and we obviously had

478
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 4: such a great time doing season one that we want

479
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 4: to we're pushing really harder season two, and a lot

480
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 4: of people are pushing really harder season two. So you know,

481
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 4: why do you want to be on I.

482
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 2: Do think I want to be on.

483
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 4: Okay, what's your elevator pitch?

484
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's your elevator pitch? Don't beg it's okay.

485
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 2: So actually my elevator pitch is based on like a

486
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 2: Ryan Reynolds show Wrexham where they have this like women's

487
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 2: team and they don't really know how to handle it.

488
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 2: I feel like there needs to be a good pitch,

489
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 2: Like it's a fake, fake meeting with executives explaining how

490
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 2: women's and men's sports are different. But actually it's just

491
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,439
Speaker 2: like you keep going back and forth between being different

492
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 2: and the same. So you're like, well, so one thing

493
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 2: you need to do with women's sports is like make

494
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 2: sure it's not too gay, but also make it like

495
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 2: extremely gay, and then also like you need to make

496
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 2: sure that the women are like super feminine but also

497
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 2: like not feminine at all.

498
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

499
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 2: So basically the whole point is like it's impossible to

500
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 2: sell women's sports because like it's everything and everyone wants

501
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 2: it to be one thing instead of many things. I'm

502
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 2: gonna keep working on that. I'll bring you around that

503
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 2: of that pitch.

504
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 4: No, think about it, Okay.

505
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 2: It perfect perfect. Did you guys meet Ryan Reynolds and

506
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 2: does he smell good?

507
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 3: We did it. We were more so.

508
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 4: Like, what does Blake smell like? Fair?

509
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: Fair, fair fair? I figured it. I'll let you know

510
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: if I meet her. And then you guys, let me

511
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 1: know if you.

512
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 4: Mean put in a good word.

513
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 2: Okay, perfect, perfect, okay, TP, speed round. First, who's funnier

514
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 2: you were?

515
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 1: Said?

516
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 4: Ud, Wow, I know, but I thought you were so funny.

517
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 4: Remember when I had that breakthrough one day during the show,

518
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 4: It's like, you're actually funny?

519
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, sure you think, so we have a show to you.

520
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: Who's more likely to break during a scene? TP? Yeah,

521
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: I don't know.

522
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 4: I don't know. That's because we've had our times where

523
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 4: like the other one just does something that's so uncalculated

524
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 4: that you can't even predict the ridiculousness. So I feel

525
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 4: like we both had. I feel like it's fifty to fifty.

526
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 1: Who's the dream cameo on the show?

527
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 3: Oh?

528
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 4: For me, I would be the Obama's Oh sid what

529
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 4: about you? Yeah? I really want them on the show.

530
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 4: I feel like they have such a great personality, so funny,

531
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 4: and they are They're super polished, with like a playful

532
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 4: spirit about them. So we need more out in our

533
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 4: lives personally.

534
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: I agree said dream cameo, Oh.

535
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:05,880
Speaker 3: My gosh, I'm trying to think.

536
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 5: I'm trying to think actors because I feel like it

537
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 5: would be like Quinca or Isa Ray.

538
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, like people with that kind of humor.

539
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, that'd be awesome. Do you have an

540
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 2: idea that didn't work out or end up making the show?

541
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 5: Well, when we came up with the show, like when

542
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 5: we didn't know that it was going to be a show,

543
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 5: we thought we were just doing stuff. We came up

544
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 5: with like a long list of things that we thought

545
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 5: would be fun or funny to do.

546
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 3: And she just mentioned why yesterday.

547
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 5: And it was I was like, Oh, we should go

548
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 5: to like a be sanctuary and we're like the bee

549
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 5: keeper suit, but we have to simultaneously be like doing

550
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 5: a spelling bee and like you have to really be focused.

551
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 5: And somebody was like, oh, so do you get stung

552
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 5: if you get the word? You know, wasn't initially part

553
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 5: of my plan, but I like that, like that spelling

554
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 5: out loud here so and like pain to that.

555
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 2: I I mean I would watch that. Yeah, I would

556
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,679
Speaker 2: watch you die from a beasting or imagine.

557
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 4: Three or four only like I feel like there would

558
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 4: have to be a shorter anything.

559
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, but if you have four syllables and miss it,

560
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 2: that's like, oh that was tough. If they give you

561
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 2: a three letter word and you miss it, I don't

562
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 2: know if you're coming back from that. Uh well, we

563
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 2: could talk forever. I could watch it through half of

564
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 2: a beam and then the other half of her face

565
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 2: lit for another half hour. But y'all have things to

566
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 2: do in Nashville, including going to try out for the

567
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 2: voice obviously, so thank you so much for spending some

568
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 2: time with us.

569
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: I look forward to being on your show. It's gonna

570
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: be a blast.

Speaker 3: We said, we'll think about it. Yeah, I'm gonna.

Speaker 2: right along with you. We have to take another break

578
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 2: when we come back. We love you, slices, We really do.

602
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 2: Bunch of Numbers said, I wish all podcasts were like this,

603
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 2: no meandering, which seems to be de rigour in the

604
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 2: podcast format, so rich in actual facts, informed opinions.

605
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: Like somebody said on Twitter, it's like it.

606
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 2: Applies to standards of serious broadcast television to the podcast format.

607
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 2: Simply the best shout out to my producers extraordinaire Alex

608
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 2: Endmeas for helping me keep those standards high. It's a

609
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 2: team effort over here, and we really appreciate you noticing.

610
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 2: Now it's your turn slices, rate and review or tell

611
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 2: a friend too. It's easy watch mentor figures violating trust

612
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 2: and profess rating infinity middle fingers review. Earlier in the show,

613
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 2: I mentioned the big news for Angel Reese, a contract

614
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 2: extension with Rebok and a signature shoe. Last week, The

615
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 2: Chicago sky Star had former NBA superstar now President of

616
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 2: Basketball for Rebox Shaquille O'Neil on her show Unapologetically Angel,

617
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 2: and he made the tired suggestion of lowering the rims

618
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 2: to allow more WNBA players to dunk. It's a thing

619
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 2: that's been discussed for years, and usually by people who

620
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 2: don't watch the games and use the lack of dunking

621
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 2: as a means to deride the quality of entertainment, or

622
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 2: explain why they don't watch, or just otherwise criticize the

623
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 2: women's game, even though it's been proven over and over

624
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 2: again that the number of dunks per game doesn't determine

625
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 2: the quality of play or entertainment. Please see the Splash Brothers,

626
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 2: the Warriors, so many other teams that we love to

627
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 2: watch that aren't about dunking.
