Speaker 3: We are fucking w n B, a full head of steam,
Speaker 3: pedal to the metal, no breaks. Here we go. Yeah.
Speaker 3: The one clip I would like to flag first before
Speaker 3: we talk about how many points you had, uh CC
Speaker 3: getting crunk like injuries whatever. It was your your block
Speaker 3: down low. So those of you don't know that's not
Speaker 3: Sophie's not chasing blocks every game, but that you were.
Speaker 3: You looked excited, but you it was so like it
Speaker 3: was so your celebration was so cute and other people
Speaker 3: were like act like you've been there before. But that
Speaker 3: was funny because it was such a girl it was
Speaker 3: such a girl celebration.
Speaker 2: Okay, here's what happened. Is like I I am not
Speaker 2: a shot blocker. Everyone knows that I'm more of a
Speaker 2: shot hacker, Like I will foul the shit out of
Speaker 2: you before I even touched, Like that's what I'm known for.
Speaker 2: So when I blocked it, and I've been really trying
Speaker 2: just to like place all it even straight up, Like
Speaker 2: fouls are up a lot already, but they always are
Speaker 2: at the beginning of the season, so like there's no
Speaker 2: surprise there.
Speaker 1: Ress are actually doing a good job this year so far, Like.
Speaker 3: Whoa weird reverse fine reversee right.
Speaker 2: But I went and like kind of helped to like
Speaker 2: help site. So I'm putting my mic up so you
Speaker 2: guys can hear me clearly.
Speaker 3: That needs to be a quote card on Bleacher Report,
Speaker 3: Complex Sports, Yahoo Sports Sports Center, Sophie Cunningham says, refs
Speaker 3: are doing a good job this year, and then I
Speaker 3: get just a picture.
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2: But I went over there and like I just like
Speaker 2: went straight up and I did time it kind of well,
Speaker 2: and I was so shocked I was so shocked.
Speaker 1: I got the block and I was like, and everyone's like,
Speaker 1: act like you've been there. I was like, honestly, never
Speaker 1: been there. That is my first rodeo. Haven't done it.
Speaker 2: The only time I did that was against Lindsay's little kid, Noah,
Speaker 2: Like when we play out like swattershit you know.
Speaker 3: Yeaheah, she's two, she's too.
Speaker 1: I gotta get my confidence up somewhere.
Speaker 2: But I would like to say too, I thought that
Speaker 2: we have the potential to be a very good defensive.
Speaker 3: Team, especially when you're getting blocks. I want to go
Speaker 3: look at what your block blocks averages.
Speaker 1: Right, probably like negative point seven.
Speaker 3: Can't be negative.
Speaker 1: I don't get them.
Speaker 3: I have to find this. But anyways, continue, Well.
Speaker 2: I was just saying that I said earlier before season
Speaker 2: started that we're going to be a good defensive team
Speaker 2: because I think we have the potential.
Speaker 1: We're like sitting at twelfth right now.
Speaker 3: Not good. We're in and there's a lot we'll be fine.
Speaker 2: Like we just we just got to figure out what
Speaker 2: coverage really works for us and like what suits our team,
Speaker 2: and once we do, I think we really will be good.
Speaker 1: But we just have to get in our flow. It's
Speaker 1: the beginning.
Speaker 3: What you're averaging a half block of game right now? What? Oh,
Speaker 3: excuse me? Point three half steal? You're point three?
Speaker 1: Wait a Steeler.
Speaker 3: You're averaging half a steel game and one point three
Speaker 3: blocks per year?
Speaker 1: Yes, that has to be wrong. I have not gotten
Speaker 1: a block in years.
Speaker 3: And then career is point two, which is that. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: don't bring don't bring that fucking ball down low. That's right.
Speaker 3: Kick that ship back out on there, bitch, Sophie over there.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying, did you Sophie women?
Speaker 3: Did you see his Did you see his three pointer
Speaker 3: last night?
Speaker 2: Dude, I've watched the whole game that I honestly think
Speaker 2: that this is going to be almost like the chamber
Speaker 2: Ship game. This should probably be the championship game. This
Speaker 2: is gonna be an elite series.
Speaker 3: I usually am like, if you're that big, like, what
Speaker 3: else would you be doing in life? You should be
Speaker 3: good at basketball, Like, if you're seven to five, you
Speaker 3: should be geod at basketball.
Speaker 6: Like it.
Speaker 3: That's kind of how I feel about Giannis. However, he
Speaker 3: like it is weird that someone that big can move
Speaker 3: their body dude like that, like that would be impossible.
Speaker 3: But that fucking three pointer when he shot it where
Speaker 3: he shot it from and the and his position and
Speaker 3: body type is like, it's pretty fucking crazy. I love it.
Speaker 2: He that's like I think they said it even on
Speaker 2: the broadcast like a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: That's exactly where Steph hit it. And like it's like,
Speaker 1: I mean, Wimby.
Speaker 3: Is in stuff that nine real old times.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Weimby's not real weird, He's not real. I
Speaker 1: love it.
Speaker 3: I also saw CC hit that corner three and then
Speaker 3: they posted, Uh, does Tyree's Haliburton go to all of
Speaker 3: your games?
Speaker 1: He goes to a lot of them. He's a big fan.
Speaker 3: I feel like he's really good, like ambassador for you guys.
Speaker 2: It is he is, and like he's he's just a good,
Speaker 2: solid human to him and his fiance.
Speaker 1: Day they're just good people and like they just love basketball.
Speaker 2: I don't know if Jade does, but Tyree's definitely does,
Speaker 2: and so he's like always there when he can. Actually
Speaker 2: a lot of the Pracers coaching staff because they're starting
Speaker 2: to like start training and stuff like that, so they're
Speaker 2: all just starting to come to our games.
Speaker 3: It's nice. I just think it's cool, Like I love
Speaker 3: if you watch like a baseball game and there's NFL
Speaker 3: players behind home, played like a hockey game and there's
Speaker 3: NBA guys, Like, I think it's really cool to see
Speaker 3: pro athletes from the same city like be at each
Speaker 3: other's stadiums and arenas supporting each other. I think that's
Speaker 3: like a really fucking cool thing. And so shout out
Speaker 3: to dude.
Speaker 2: I do too for some reason, Like I don't know
Speaker 2: what it is, but it feels good when you have
Speaker 2: other pro athletes there. So like George Kittle was there
Speaker 2: last night for the for the game, and like it's
Speaker 2: just it's just cool for okay see and yeah Santonio,
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, but it really is cool to just see
Speaker 2: like other crazy elite athletes come in like supporting other athletes.
Speaker 1: Like that's fun. They're a fan for once. I like it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, it's dope. Yeah. How how is the body good?
Speaker 3: Are we feel fresh?
Speaker 1: Feel fresh?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, I mean we're everyone's already tired, but
Speaker 2: like that's what season's all about, is just being in
Speaker 2: a constant state of exhaustion.
Speaker 1: But I do really do my knees holding up.
Speaker 2: I feel good. Our team is feeling good. I know
Speaker 2: i'd be miss last game. Uh, but you know she
Speaker 2: should be fine, like rather now than later in the season.
Speaker 1: So I feel like we're solid. We had a good
Speaker 1: practice today, we play tomorrow.
Speaker 3: I also, you probably won't bring it up, but so
Speaker 3: I will. I mean, seventeen points off the bench is
Speaker 3: fuck it. Look that's gonna be a third round of applause.
Speaker 3: You thank you, keV hop In and give me something, dude.
Speaker 1: Come on, we're feeling positive today, everybody. Yeah, hey watch
Speaker 1: the finger guns.
Speaker 4: Oh oh, I absolutely I have learned a learn of
Speaker 4: new fun facts. They not make the headlines of the
Speaker 4: cutting room floor. But apparently peace signs people are now
Speaker 4: on the internet are using your fingerprints to steal your identity.
Speaker 4: So maybe peace on the other way you get your fingernails.
Speaker 1: Can they identify this?
Speaker 3: Oh wait? So someone added us on Twitter and said
Speaker 3: did you see that? Now there's crazy peeps going around
Speaker 3: impersonating you and emailing people, especially those that leave comments
Speaker 3: or applies. And then they tagged you and myself and
Speaker 3: it's a fake email for me that says, hey, amazing fan,
Speaker 3: I just want to take a moment to say thank you.
Speaker 3: I saw your comment on my recent post, and it
Speaker 3: honestly meant a lot to me. The love, support and
Speaker 3: kind words you show me never go unnoticed. On the
Speaker 3: hard days and the good ones, Having people in my
Speaker 3: corner like you mean more than ever. Thank you for
Speaker 3: showing up and cheering me on. So someone is out there,
Speaker 3: maybe not stealing your identity, but sending fake encouragement emails.
Speaker 2: To random people. That's how it starts. And then they
Speaker 2: ask for thirty thousand dollars. So this is a great thing,
Speaker 2: yes today, real quick, I do you think that I'm
Speaker 2: ever asking for money or pictures of your feet or anything.
Speaker 1: It is not me. It is not me.
Speaker 3: If I'm if I'm asking for money, it is me.
Speaker 3: It is me this summer, it's me.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you that the amount of Like I had
Speaker 2: an old friend from a zoo, he's like a doctor.
Speaker 2: Now his freaking eighty year old client try to wire
Speaker 2: me thirty thousand dollars or wire someone thirty thousand dollars
Speaker 2: thinking they were talking to me, and I'm like, this
Speaker 2: is not me, Like I feel so bad, and like
Speaker 2: security is trying to like get to these people because
Speaker 2: it has truly become a problem. Like there has been
Speaker 2: two or three people leave there, like leaving their families
Speaker 2: thinking they're about to marry me.
Speaker 3: It is bad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so like that, I.
Speaker 3: Will say, and if we can cut this, if Sophie
Speaker 3: wants me to. But when we were in Indy for
Speaker 3: the final four, we all like we like finished the
Speaker 3: day and we were at the hotel bar like getting beers,
Speaker 3: and I was like, where's Sophie And someone was like, oh,
Speaker 3: she's she's talking to the FBI in one of the
Speaker 3: one of the meeting rooms. It's real. I was like,
Speaker 3: what the fuck. Yeah, And it's just because all these
Speaker 3: people do weird shit.
Speaker 2: I guess, well it makes me feel bad because like
Speaker 2: I do, I am thankful for my fans and I
Speaker 2: do I love them and this is like what makes
Speaker 2: it so fun. But I would never ask anything from people,
Speaker 2: like I just want to pull out a good time
Speaker 2: and a good vibe, like, but I'm never gonna ask
Speaker 2: for stuff. So I'm glad you couldn't brought that up.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, guys, stop wiring money, okay.
Speaker 1: And if you and make san to.
Speaker 3: My account and and tell your grandparents next time you
Speaker 3: see him. It really is the old people makes me
Speaker 3: wire young people money.
Speaker 2: Ever, yeah, yeah, whatever, but you know there's that so okay,
Speaker 2: not to be dramatic, but my Jay Love headphones have
Speaker 2: basically become my personality trait at this point. Airport on
Speaker 2: Jim on coffee run definitely on. If you see me
Speaker 2: on public odds are I've got something Jaylab in my ears.
Speaker 3: And somehow the battery just refuses to quit, Like I
Speaker 3: keep waiting for mine to die, and they're just like, no,
Speaker 3: we're good. That's actually very true. These have I don't
Speaker 3: think I've charged these more than one like these are
Speaker 3: just sports for eternity.
Speaker 2: And let's talk about sound, because bad audio can ruin
Speaker 2: my whole mood. These are super crisp and plenty loud.
Speaker 3: I've been using the overyear pair on flights and I'm
Speaker 3: telling you, game changer, noise canceling, elite, super comfortable, too
Speaker 3: great for listening to your favorite podcast.
Speaker 1: That should be us.
Speaker 2: So whether you're locked out the gym or out rocking
Speaker 2: to your favorite song, they've got something for whatever mood.
Speaker 3: You're in headphones, earbuds, wireless speakers, and more. You get
Speaker 3: premium features without paying premium prices.
Speaker 1: So look for the blue box at Walmart, Target Best
Speaker 1: buy and more or use code something on j loob
Speaker 1: dot com for twenty percent off your order. So tomorrow
Speaker 1: we played the Portland Fire.
Speaker 2: They are a new franchise, so they were actually a
Speaker 2: part of the W a long time ago. For three years,
Speaker 2: stuff happened, But now they're back and so they're still
Speaker 2: trying to find out who they are. They're young, they
Speaker 2: are good. Everyone in our league this year is good,
Speaker 2: and so we definitely have another test coming in. But
Speaker 2: I feel like our team we just have to focus
Speaker 2: more on, like protecting home court.
Speaker 1: Like it is so hard to win on the road.
Speaker 1: It's hard to win in general.
Speaker 2: But there has to be there has to be a
Speaker 2: certain level of upping your anti even more when you're
Speaker 2: at home because your fans are there.
Speaker 1: They're coming now, they're spending a lot of money, they're
Speaker 1: excited to be there.
Speaker 2: They're a great six man for us, and so I
Speaker 2: feel I'm someone who's very passionate about protecting home court advantage.
Speaker 3: What to you makes away games in the W harder?
Speaker 3: Is it crowd noise? Is it sleeping in a hotel
Speaker 3: before the game, Is it a flight before the game?
Speaker 3: Is it not knowing like being in a new environment
Speaker 3: like new Court. What to you makes it hardest?
Speaker 2: Honestly, I don't even know if it makes it hard
Speaker 2: because being with the fever, everywhere we go we have
Speaker 2: just as many fans as where we're going. But it's
Speaker 2: also just like you know, the mental like you were
Speaker 2: at another person's home arena, and it's like kind of
Speaker 2: the game favors them, Like I don't know if the
Speaker 2: refs think it kind of favors them, like the flow
Speaker 2: always favors And yeah.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it is the arena.
Speaker 2: Sometimes it is the environment of just not being used
Speaker 2: to playing there a lot, and so I think there's
Speaker 2: a lot of different factors.
Speaker 3: But I just.
Speaker 2: Want Gamebridge to be one of the hardest places to
Speaker 2: play when people have to come to Indianapolis.
Speaker 3: Fuck yeah, yeah, yeah, what's your go to get the
Speaker 3: crowd height? Move? Are you one of the East? I
Speaker 3: feel like I feel like kayln oh yeah, I Kaylin
Speaker 3: I Owe. Any clip of her is always.
Speaker 2: Dude, because if they if they once you get them going.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you because I've been on the other end
Speaker 2: of it. It is so hard and like our fans
Speaker 2: are just as like fired up, dialed in focus, feisty
Speaker 2: as we are, and so if you get them into it,
Speaker 2: it's just like it's like that extram So our fans
Speaker 2: are great.
Speaker 1: I love our fans truly, dude.
Speaker 3: Hell yeah, Uh Where I wonder where this Portland team plays.
Speaker 3: I guess probably where the Blazers play, right.
Speaker 2: Honestly, I don't know because we haven't been up there yet.
Speaker 2: That's our next like road trip. It's like sanfran and Portland.
Speaker 4: So oh they play in the little at a center, Portland, Oregon,
Speaker 4: same as the Trail Builders.
Speaker 3: Good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, it seems like a lot of a lot
Speaker 2: of WNBA. I would say games have been sold out,
Speaker 2: like it doesn't matter who's playing, especially these new franchises,
Speaker 2: like they're excited for a new team. They're a supportive community,
Speaker 2: and I think that's why the WBA brought them to
Speaker 2: these cities, because they knew that they would have a
Speaker 2: lot of support.
Speaker 1: But I know Toronto has been absolutely rocking for games.
Speaker 2: Portland and then everyone else like it's just now it's
Speaker 2: you already kind of have an established base of of
Speaker 2: fans anyway, and so I don't know, I'm proud of
Speaker 2: the WNBA, like I think we're we're we're doing good.
Speaker 3: As a whole.
Speaker 1: So that's nice.
Speaker 3: We have come a long way from where we were
Speaker 3: last year when you were recording this podcast because I
Speaker 3: hated everything and you hated everyone everything. Wait can I
Speaker 3: but you said the rest are doing a good job
Speaker 3: this year. I'm curious what in game four, what that
Speaker 3: looks like to you? Consistency.
Speaker 2: It is all about consistency, And I think they're actually
Speaker 2: doing a good job because right now, I know it's
Speaker 2: annoying and it kind of sucks maybe as fans because
Speaker 2: like you're there longer. As players, it kind of sucks
Speaker 2: because when they're blowing the whistle every single day, every
Speaker 2: single time down the court, it's hard to get into
Speaker 2: a rhythm or a flow. But I hope people quote
Speaker 2: me on this, but I think that is a good
Speaker 2: thing that they are calling everything because it is making
Speaker 2: us players and teams be like, Okay, we need to
Speaker 2: stop foiling or we need to be better because it's
Speaker 2: always tight in the beginning of seasons, like they're going
Speaker 2: to call everything, and they should and then let playoff basketball,
Speaker 2: and like towards the end of the season, let that
Speaker 2: be a little bit more physical and playoff basketball. But
Speaker 2: I think last year is just so physical and too
Speaker 2: much from the jump, and so I think the rest
Speaker 2: are doing a fantastic job so far this year.
Speaker 3: Let's go, let's go.
Speaker 1: That deserves another one.
Speaker 3: Every team is championship or busts. So it's like a
Speaker 3: cliche question, but like, who do you guys want to be?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's a good question. I think right now.
Speaker 2: The positive is we're not gonna peak too soon. We
Speaker 2: have a lot to work on, so that's great. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think we just have so much potential and once
Speaker 2: we can really click offensively and get in the rhythm
Speaker 2: because we do have a lot of people returning, but
Speaker 2: we also have so many new players that are that
Speaker 2: are playing big minutes that no one's ever played with
Speaker 2: or we haven't played as a unit together, and that
Speaker 2: takes time to figure out, like how people move, where
Speaker 2: people want the ball, what their tendencies are. And so
Speaker 2: I think that once we really catch that rhythm in
Speaker 2: that chemistry, I think we're gonna be freaking elite, Like
Speaker 2: elite elite when it comes to our defense, I just
Speaker 2: think that I think that is an area that we
Speaker 2: have great potential in, but we have to want to
Speaker 2: be a good a great defensive team. Like if four
Speaker 2: people are doing it and that one person isn't, it's
Speaker 2: going to mess up our schemes every single time. And
Speaker 2: so it's just like making sure everyone's looking themselves in
Speaker 2: the mirror. And like defense is hard. Nobody likes defense,
Speaker 2: Like it is hard shit, and like it's I don't know,
Speaker 2: you're just kind of getting beat up going through screens,
Speaker 2: trying to have people stay in front of you who
Speaker 2: are so freaking fast, and so defense is definitely like
Speaker 2: an effort thing. But I think that when our team
Speaker 2: can really dial in and put in that effort, I
Speaker 2: feel like we're going to be a pretty unstoppable like
Speaker 2: defensive team.
Speaker 3: Obviously watching the NBA playoffs and like, oh my, they
Speaker 3: play ten times harder defense than the playoffs than they
Speaker 3: do in the regular season. Do you feel like you
Speaker 3: guys play hard defense from we get.
Speaker 1: To the have to Yeah, and yeah, you can't. You
Speaker 1: can't let a game slide.
Speaker 2: And so even like last night against you know, the
Speaker 2: Spurs and okay, see, those are like probably the two
Speaker 2: best defensive teams in the league, and like seeing them
Speaker 2: really lock up and overtime and I don't know, towards
Speaker 2: the fourth court because they wan't did two overtimes or
Speaker 2: one I'm blinking too, Yeah, and all the overtimes, like
Speaker 2: each possession freaking matters, and like it's almost more fun
Speaker 2: to me sometimes when a team plays lock up defense
Speaker 2: for like the whole shot clock than sometimes like a
Speaker 2: great shot, like it just fires you up.
Speaker 3: I don't know Wimby, he like, I think he's kind
Speaker 3: of dirt. He got a flagrant like the other night,
Speaker 3: and then he last night stuck his whole shoulder into
Speaker 3: Caruso's neck. Hey, no, it's dope.
Speaker 2: I like to but another thing too, and I I
Speaker 2: love okay see, and I love the Spurs, So I
Speaker 2: don't really have like a dog in the fight. But
Speaker 2: if you watch Wimby, every single time he has the ball,
Speaker 2: he is literally getting slapped in the face twenty four
Speaker 2: to seven. I don't know how he is always so
Speaker 2: like collected, like I would, I would eventually.
Speaker 1: Get pissed off.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean he did elbow someone, You're right, he
Speaker 3: did get ejected a couple in the face like less
Speaker 3: than a week ago. Ballad Vallid.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I saw people trying to like talk like
Speaker 2: he shouldn't have been injected him, Like that's an injection
Speaker 2: every single time, Like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh god, yeah that was. If you watch, if
Speaker 3: you watch everyone in the background of that video, every
Speaker 3: Spurs player is like.
Speaker 2: Ooh yeah, yeah he deserved that one.
Speaker 3: But it's good, all right, cool.
Speaker 4: Let me bring this back to earth. Here, have about
Speaker 4: some headlines.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just some headies.
Speaker 3: All right, guys.
Speaker 4: Here news out of the MLB. The San Francisco Giants
Speaker 4: have begun humping each other in their postgame celebrations. The
Speaker 4: MLB has asked them to stop, but they have not
Speaker 4: h What do you guys think about the celebration? Should
Speaker 4: the MLB be allowed to police people's happiness after the game?
Speaker 3: I thought that they did stop because they they took
Speaker 3: a bow after the game that the MLB said they
Speaker 3: can't do it anymore.
Speaker 2: Guys, real quick a comment on the last video. I
Speaker 2: think that should be our new handshakes and let us
Speaker 2: three see each other. That's what I expect.
Speaker 3: I'm down, all right.
Speaker 4: So here is from two days ago, and as you
Speaker 4: can see, the thrusts a little more minimal, a little
Speaker 4: more spaced out. So they've taken some feedback. It's not
Speaker 4: gonna have a third one there, you.
Speaker 3: Know, just let them be.
Speaker 2: I mean, like, is it inappropriate, yes, but like it's
Speaker 2: all so baseball, Like.
Speaker 3: Well, the camera guy can watch other people celebrate. That's
Speaker 3: a big deal from far away in the stadium. Yeah,
Speaker 3: if the broadcast cuts to it, that's more on the
Speaker 3: broadcast than it is the outfield. Yeah, I'm so in
Speaker 3: favor of it. It's awesome.
Speaker 4: He's three players involved, Jung Holy, Drew Gilbert, Harrison Bader.
Speaker 4: When they asked Drew Gilbert what was going on, he says,
Speaker 4: I don't know what you're talking about, this budle, despite
Speaker 4: countless video evidence, and it's just like, I don't know
Speaker 4: what's going on.
Speaker 1: Just fun beat Let him have fun. Who cares.
Speaker 4: So that's one headline here from Major League Baseball. That's
Speaker 4: we'll call that cock blocking. And here, guys, another headline,
Speaker 4: this is actually cock fighting. So I don't know if
Speaker 4: you've heard about this yet.
Speaker 3: I already know Edwin Diaz, Yeah what I don't know.
Speaker 4: So unfortunately, our guy, Edwin Diaz, he's a Dodgers relief pitcher.
Speaker 4: He's been linked to illegal cock fighting. The maximum penalty
Speaker 4: for this is a two hundred and fifty thousand dollars fine,
Speaker 4: five years of prison. So if you don't know what
Speaker 4: cock fighting is, it's maybe it's not what you think
Speaker 4: for those at home. It's between roosters chickens. They put
Speaker 4: sharp spurs and knives attached to your feet. They can
Speaker 4: puncture each other's like brains and lungs. It's it's kind
Speaker 4: of messed up. He's had some insane quotes from this incident.
Speaker 4: He said, it's legal in Puerto Rico. Thank god, Otherwise
Speaker 4: I wouldn't be here. I feel safe here. The cock
Speaker 4: fighting arena is like my home. It is famously not
Speaker 4: legal in Puerto Rico. So he's just also incorrected his quotes.
Speaker 3: It's like, uh, it's like it's Michael Vick esque. Yes,
Speaker 3: but I doubt but Michael Vick was like providing like
Speaker 3: the space for it. I think he's kind of just
Speaker 3: tied to it.
Speaker 2: But here's my thing is, I think when you are
Speaker 2: from different parts of the world, there are different cultures, right,
Speaker 2: So there's things that are culturally acceptable, things that are not.
Speaker 2: But when it comes to animals, I feel like how
Speaker 2: you treat animals says a lot about you, and I
Speaker 2: am not for it whatsoever, Like I think that.
Speaker 4: It all.
Speaker 2: I don't know, Like I just feel like animals and
Speaker 2: children are two special things in this world that sometimes
Speaker 2: don't have a voice and need protection, and we do
Speaker 2: not take care of those two things enough, and so
Speaker 2: I do not condone any of that. I think that
Speaker 2: there's I love animals to death. We come from a farm, you,
Speaker 2: they have feelings, they are they are real living creatures,
Speaker 2: and like that just reminded me too. Like in the
Speaker 2: horse industry, they send horses down into Mexico and they
Speaker 2: blind them, they put like vics or you know, kind
Speaker 2: of vapor rub in their nose, and they let bulls
Speaker 2: they sharpen the bulls freakin' horns, and they go and
Speaker 2: let them kill them that way. Like there's a human
Speaker 2: main way to kill animals, and there's a humane way
Speaker 2: to treat animals, and none of those shit should. I
Speaker 2: think he deserves prison and find his ass even more,
Speaker 2: I don't like any of that.
Speaker 4: I have.
Speaker 1: I have deep feelings about all that.
Speaker 3: Dude, Penis sponsorship might be headed your way, that was good.
Speaker 2: Well, I still eat meat, I know, but they're the
Speaker 2: humane way to hunt and eat meat and like there
Speaker 2: is a bad way to do it.
Speaker 3: And a good way to do it, So whatever, I
Speaker 3: agree with you. Yeah, okay, real talk. I used to
Speaker 3: be one of those yeah, Nascars seems cool people, but
Speaker 3: then we actually went earlier this year and I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: I get it.
Speaker 2: The second those engines fire up, your whole body just
Speaker 2: feels it. It's loud, fast, there's food everywhere where, people
Speaker 2: are tailgatting.
Speaker 1: It's such a vibe.
Speaker 3: And now NASCAR's taking it to the next level. They're

Speaker 4: Maybe yeah, crazy crazy story out of the baseball world.
Speaker 4: We're just saying, let it be was.
Speaker 3: I don't I'm not sure what I even said.
Speaker 4: Well, speak about bees Bumble the dating app. Have you
Speaker 4: guys heard this news yet now? So they're announcing they're
Speaker 4: they're going to remove the swipe feature and they were
Speaker 4: phasing it out, replacing it with an AI driven matchmaker
Speaker 4: called b like a little b uh, So women will
Speaker 4: no longer be allowed drive required to send the first message.
Speaker 4: They're now going to use all this excess information with
Speaker 4: an AI assistant and just match you with a partner
Speaker 4: that I think it's like on your level that you
Speaker 4: would like. So they're like taking the selection ad your
Speaker 4: hand and just assign you someone that, based on AI
Speaker 4: would fit your profile. What are your guys thoughts on this.
Speaker 1: Takes away of like being a human?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Also, isn't that what like these apps already said
Speaker 3: they were matching you with people anyway? Like is it?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: You're right? Yeah, So were they lying to us before?
Speaker 4: Well, they're saying now they're like, you're not even gonna swipe,
Speaker 4: but they're gonna They're not gonna give you options anymore.
Speaker 3: So someone is just in your DMS. It's just a
Speaker 3: fucking person and you're there to message them. There's no
Speaker 3: looking for them. Due I think.
Speaker 2: That's what I think that's why a lot of people
Speaker 2: do too, is like the swipe being the actual process
Speaker 2: of like doing stuff.
Speaker 1: I've never been on a dating app, though, you want
Speaker 1: to know.
Speaker 3: What fucking hot take I have just that I just
Speaker 3: thought of. I think because of the way the internet works,
Speaker 3: the way human beings have evolved with the Internet, and
Speaker 3: how like just putting people down on the Internet is
Speaker 3: like a weird fucking little adrenaline rush for people for
Speaker 3: like a five second hit or whatever. I think that
Speaker 3: people probably also liked the power of saying no to
Speaker 3: people on these dating apps, or like swiping left, or
Speaker 3: feeling like I'm hotter or I'm cooler than this person,
Speaker 3: I'm fucking swiping them. That I think that gave people
Speaker 3: a rush and gave people a sense of like confidence,
Speaker 3: security and confidence and so bet this like I just
Speaker 3: don't I feel like the swiping part was this weird
Speaker 3: psychological game that people like got addicted to.
Speaker 2: People would get on these apps just so they could
Speaker 2: swipe right or swipe left, not even for anyone, or.
Speaker 3: See if someone like liked you back and then kind
Speaker 3: of like get the validation from that and then keep
Speaker 3: it moving literally. You know. Also there's people think if
Speaker 3: people have been making fake rias of me the last
Speaker 3: like six months. I'm not on rya or app, but
Speaker 3: I haven't been on dating apps in like what years
Speaker 3: at twenty twenty six, like since twenty twenty I think
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three or twenty twenty two. Am. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: haven't been on dating apps in a long, long long time.
Speaker 3: But there's fake ones out there. I just hope. I
Speaker 3: just hope when the fake me's DM girls, they're like
Speaker 3: not using like wat game, Like if you're gonna pretend
Speaker 3: to be me on a on the internet, fucking heat, yeah,
Speaker 3: like it'll be a fucking dork ass loser, you know,
Speaker 3: or use like pickup lines and like some corny shit.
Speaker 4: I like that.
Speaker 2: I like that.
Speaker 4: All right, guys, last headline for you here.
Speaker 1: There it looks like we're not getting a bumble sponsorship.
Speaker 4: Nopeoo, there's a couple of aps out there. Uh so
Speaker 4: Seattle catcher cal Rally, he's in a nasty slump recently
Speaker 4: since denying the handshake of the World Baseball Classleague with
Speaker 4: his teammate Randy of Rose Arena. He's batting one fifty.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 4: He was currently in an for thirty eight slump until
Speaker 4: he took a full shower with his entire uniform on,
Speaker 4: and the next day he went out and got two hits. So, guys,
Speaker 4: what's the most craziest shit you've ever done? And then
Speaker 4: it's the like an on field slump that you felt
Speaker 4: like helped you out? You have any crazy stories, any superstitions,
Speaker 4: like a shirt, anything that you wear that you kind
Speaker 4: of help feels like, can the increase your mojo?
Speaker 3: Well, you should pull up a flashback because Sophie and
Speaker 3: I talked about this when it happened. When he didn't
Speaker 3: remember Sophie World Baseball Classic, he was Usa, Rosearina was
Speaker 3: Mexico and he didn't take it out.
Speaker 1: Weird. It's so weird.
Speaker 3: Yeah, douchebag move, he went. He went, he's like having
Speaker 3: the worst year of his career. And I was talking
Speaker 3: about this in the complex office like two days ago
Speaker 3: with my friend from Seattle, Okay, And I was like, dude,
Speaker 3: that's karma for being a performative dick.
Speaker 1: You know, Well, yeah, here's what what is he like?
Speaker 3: What is he known for having? They call him big dumper.
Speaker 3: He might have a huge ass, and he he hit
Speaker 3: like a hell of home runs last year.
Speaker 2: But hmmm, on my line goes to so many different
Speaker 2: things with that, because my first one is like, this
Speaker 2: dude needs a sports sit guy immediately, like it's it's
Speaker 2: all it's mental, It's literally all it is. But I
Speaker 2: don't I also think though, and I'm not calling this
Speaker 2: guy this because I don't know him, but I also
Speaker 2: think that, like if you think your shit doesn't sting
Speaker 2: and you feel like you walk on water, like the
Speaker 2: game has a weird way of always humbling you, and
Speaker 2: maybe this is a humbling moment, but again, could just
Speaker 2: be like a mental a mental block too.
Speaker 1: That's a very real thing.
Speaker 3: So I don't know. I in my my senior year
Speaker 3: or maybe it's my junior of high school party in
Speaker 3: the USA, it was like my favorite fucking song and
Speaker 3: it made me feel good and I was happy. Every
Speaker 3: time the bus would they turn the bus off whenever
Speaker 3: we got to an away stadium. I'd play the song
Speaker 3: so I'd walk off the bus with partying to say,
Speaker 3: and it just made me feel like, yeah, happy and
Speaker 3: free and a live Did you never.
Speaker 1: Do it one time? Did you not do it one
Speaker 1: time and you played like shit?
Speaker 3: I remember doing it when we lost to Hickman my
Speaker 3: senior year, and so that probably made its course. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: did were you at that game? Yeah? Probably?
Speaker 1: No, I was at every all those that suck.
Speaker 3: Yeah that sucks so bad. Yeah, that's so horrible.
Speaker 4: I would also say I'm like the tangent of like superstitions,
Speaker 4: like kind of pregame a great going out shirt, like
Speaker 4: back in the day, like at school, like college, like
Speaker 4: you know when you put on this shirt, like I
Speaker 4: was done.
Speaker 2: Okay, wait, let me speak on that, because I I
Speaker 2: don't think I have superstition when it really comes to sport,
Speaker 2: but when it comes to stuff like old jeans or
Speaker 2: shirts or like a pair of shoes that you always
Speaker 2: have a great night in. And for the girls out there,
Speaker 2: I have such a hard time getting rid of my
Speaker 2: makeup brushes.
Speaker 1: I know you guys cannot relate to this.
Speaker 2: Girls know exactly what I'm talking about, because like I
Speaker 2: just gotta I just got a whole bunch of new
Speaker 2: brushes and they just feel so good and like do
Speaker 2: what they're supposed to do. But I probably held on
Speaker 2: to my last ones for like two years overdue because
Speaker 2: you just get so used to it, and like you
Speaker 2: have a.
Speaker 3: Wa they tell you that it's like non hygienic to
Speaker 3: like keep a makeup brush or something.
Speaker 2: It's gross, like you need to and like the the
Speaker 2: girls that I'm talking about, but like the brushes, like
Speaker 2: the hairs were like falling off, and I like them
Speaker 2: all over my face. But like there's just something so
Speaker 2: special about like holding on to like makeup brushes that
Speaker 2: have been with you for Forget.
Speaker 3: That, Yeah, I get that. I'm trying to think if
Speaker 3: there's anything if it'd be.
Speaker 2: Like a hair brush or toothbrush or a toothbrush that
Speaker 2: you're like, oh, we've been through it together.
Speaker 3: I have the same toothbrush now, but you can swap
Speaker 3: the head out for cendliness. So I do that.
Speaker 2: Do you ever feel like that, Like at the end
Speaker 2: of a cologne bottle or like a perfume, we have
Speaker 2: to get more.
Speaker 1: You're like, oh, that was a good bottle. We had
Speaker 1: some good moments.
Speaker 3: I do think it's interesting that, like our brains give
Speaker 3: feelings to inanimate object, right, and I always do like
Speaker 3: if you see like a yeah, like a trash can
Speaker 3: out by itself and its rain or whatever and you're like, oh,
Speaker 3: liked guy is he's getting he's getting hailed on? Like
Speaker 3: can someone bring him inside? Yeah? I think about that
