WEBVTT - Season 3 Starts in Vegas with Big Citrus

0:00:00.800 --> 0:00:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Good Game with Sarah Spain, where I'm ready

0:00:02.960 --> 0:00:05.840
<v Speaker 1>for a full week of Spain related puns and dad

0:00:05.960 --> 0:00:07.040
<v Speaker 1>jokes come in my way.

0:00:07.160 --> 0:00:08.960
<v Speaker 2>After I single.

0:00:08.640 --> 0:00:12.200
<v Speaker 1>Handedly won the FIFA Men's World Cup, and I'm even

0:00:12.320 --> 0:00:15.440
<v Speaker 1>more ready for the Women's World Cup next year. The

0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:20.680
<v Speaker 1>countdown is on. It's Monday, July twentieth. Welcome to season

0:00:20.760 --> 0:00:24.520
<v Speaker 1>three of the show. Today, Big Citrus convenes to celebrate

0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:25.720
<v Speaker 1>the start of a new era.

0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:26.720
<v Speaker 2>Plus, we get you.

0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Caught up on a whole lot of news you need

0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:31.440
<v Speaker 1>to know, and I share my favorite moments from she

0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:35.400
<v Speaker 1>weekend in Las Vegas, hanging with the Backstreet Boys, Holly

0:00:35.520 --> 0:00:38.720
<v Speaker 1>Road doing the Roger Rabbit, cruising down the Strip atop

0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:42.360
<v Speaker 1>a double decker bus, and so much more. After three

0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:45.040
<v Speaker 1>and a half days in Vegas with that crew, I

0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:49.440
<v Speaker 1>am simultaneously completely exhausted and also ready to run through

0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:50.800
<v Speaker 1>a wall for women's sports.

0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:53.840
<v Speaker 2>It was incredible. Plus, it's a good week to be

0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:54.360
<v Speaker 2>a battie.

0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:58.560
<v Speaker 1>The WNBA news cycle keeps churning, and an untouchable record

0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:09.000
<v Speaker 1>got touched. All coming up next, Welcome Backslaices. Here's what

0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:13.760
<v Speaker 1>you need to know today. Let's start in the WNBA,

0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:17.440
<v Speaker 1>where Toronto Tempo coach Sandy Brondello has been suspended for

0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Tonight's game against the Las Vegas Aces due to a

0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:22.400
<v Speaker 1>comment she made about Angel Reese during the Tempo's one

0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:25.000
<v Speaker 1>eleven ninety two loss to the Atlanta Dream on Friday.

0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:28.280
<v Speaker 1>When Tempo forward Niaresabli went down with an injury after

0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:30.920
<v Speaker 1>making contact with Reese, Brondelo could be heard on the

0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:34.640
<v Speaker 1>game broadcast saying something that sounded like the term protected species.

0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:38.560
<v Speaker 1>Brondelo is from Australia, where the phraze protected species has

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:40.840
<v Speaker 1>been used in sports to describe a player who seems

0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:44.360
<v Speaker 1>to enjoy special treatment from the refs. After the game,

0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:47.240
<v Speaker 1>Angel Reese reposted a tweet from a fan that read

0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:51.120
<v Speaker 1>calling a black woman a species, and Reese added quote

0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:56.160
<v Speaker 1>are we surprised, tagging Brondelo and adding a clown face emoji. Brondelo,

0:01:56.280 --> 0:01:59.600
<v Speaker 1>for her part, was very quick to apologize, writing quote, Angel,

0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:02.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry last night, in the emotion of the moment

0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:04.720
<v Speaker 1>after Niarra's injury, I used a phrase that I shouldn't

0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:07.600
<v Speaker 1>have used, and I take full responsibility for that. My

0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:11.200
<v Speaker 1>frustration was with the officiating, but my words unfairly put

0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:14.880
<v Speaker 1>the focus on you. Brondello continued later, I also understand

0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:17.520
<v Speaker 1>that my words carried an impact beyond what I intended,

0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:20.280
<v Speaker 1>particularly for black women in our league, and I'm deeply

0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:24.040
<v Speaker 1>sorry for that end quote. Reese addressed the apology before

0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:27.720
<v Speaker 1>Sunday's contest against her former team, the Sky, saying quote, First,

0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:30.760
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate Sandy's apology, but I also appreciate the love

0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.079
<v Speaker 1>and support that I've had for the last forty eight hours.

0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:35.520
<v Speaker 1>It has been overwhelming, with a lot of love and

0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:38.160
<v Speaker 1>also other things. But I am grateful that the league

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:40.799
<v Speaker 1>did take action. There is no place for discrimination or

0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:43.760
<v Speaker 1>hate in this league, from anyone, from fans to coaches

0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:45.920
<v Speaker 1>to players, and I'm just grateful that we're able to

0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:48.799
<v Speaker 1>move on from the situation and just play winning basketball

0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:52.600
<v Speaker 1>end quote. Even more WNBA, there are four games on

0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:55.400
<v Speaker 1>the schedule tonight, including a contest at eight pm Eastern

0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:57.920
<v Speaker 1>between the Dallas Wings and New York Liberty. Now, that

0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:00.480
<v Speaker 1>game was supposed to be played last Thursday, but the

0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Liberty's charter flight had mechanical issues and they sat on

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:07.160
<v Speaker 1>the runway for twelve hours, so the game was postponed

0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:09.800
<v Speaker 1>to tonight. Also, at eight the Aces take on the

0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:13.240
<v Speaker 1>tempo without head coach Brondello. As we mentioned, at ten

0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:15.799
<v Speaker 1>pm Eastern, the league leading Minnesota Lynx played the team

0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:18.240
<v Speaker 1>at the very bottom of the standings, the Seattle Storm.

0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:21.120
<v Speaker 1>Also at ten the Washington Mystics tip off for a

0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:22.760
<v Speaker 1>game against the Golden State Valkyries.

0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:24.400
<v Speaker 2>There are six more.

0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:27.240
<v Speaker 1>Games Wednesday night than its all eyes on the twenty

0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:30.320
<v Speaker 1>twenty six All Star Game and All Star weekend. We'll

0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:32.320
<v Speaker 1>have a preview of the Big Game later this week

0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:34.640
<v Speaker 1>and details about how to meet the whole Good Game

0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:38.040
<v Speaker 1>Gang in Chicago later on in this show to the

0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:41.000
<v Speaker 1>NWSL where it's been a very busy week for the

0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:44.480
<v Speaker 1>Batties of Gotham FC. On Wednesday, their game against the

0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:47.680
<v Speaker 1>Washington Spirit at City Field featured a sellout crowd of

0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:51.800
<v Speaker 1>forty two, one hundred and seventy five people. Sam Kerr

0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:54.680
<v Speaker 1>made her Gotham debut and Rose Level scored a world

0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:57.440
<v Speaker 1>for a one nail Gotham win. It was a record

0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:59.760
<v Speaker 1>crowd for a women's sporting event in New York City

0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.200
<v Speaker 1>and it bodes well for the team as they've announced

0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:05.640
<v Speaker 1>they're relocating from New Jersey to play at Etzehat Stadium

0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:06.400
<v Speaker 1>in New York City.

0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:07.760
<v Speaker 2>Beginning in twenty twenty eight.

0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:11.840
<v Speaker 1>Now wildfire smoke from Canada resulted in terrible air quality

0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.200
<v Speaker 1>in New York for this game, so the league mandated

0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:17.760
<v Speaker 1>two hydration breaks per half. After the game, Spirit star

0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Trinity Rodman said, quote, if we have to have a

0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:22.919
<v Speaker 1>hydration break every fifteen minutes, then we shouldn't be playing

0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:23.280
<v Speaker 1>the game.

0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:25.359
<v Speaker 2>And that's my opinion. But at the end of the.

0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:28.279
<v Speaker 1>Day, there's forty thousand people. It's a whole event, so

0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:30.960
<v Speaker 1>it's really tough. It's just a really hard situation for

0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:32.160
<v Speaker 1>everyone to work around.

0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:33.160
<v Speaker 2>End quote.

0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:36.359
<v Speaker 1>Fast forward to Saturday, Gotham was back in action again

0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:38.279
<v Speaker 1>and used a three to two win over the Seattle

0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:40.479
<v Speaker 1>Rain to pass the San Diego Wave for the top

0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:45.080
<v Speaker 1>spot on the NWSL table, with Roosevelt once again scoring

0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:47.720
<v Speaker 1>the game winner, this time in the eighth minute of

0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:52.520
<v Speaker 1>second half stoppage time. More NWSL Lindsay Heaps made her

0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Denver Summit debut on Saturday, wearing the captain's armband and

0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:58.240
<v Speaker 1>recording the game winning assist in the Summit's two to

0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:01.039
<v Speaker 1>one win over the Portland Thorns. The game was Denver's

0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:04.120
<v Speaker 1>first at Centennial Stadium, a temporary venue that's being used

0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:06.720
<v Speaker 1>through the twenty twenty seven season while the team's permanent

0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:10.719
<v Speaker 1>venue is under construction. What a moment for Colorado native

0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:13.680
<v Speaker 1>Heaps to be playing in front of her hometown crowd

0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 1>to softball. The AUSL regular season concludes tonight with the

0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:20.760
<v Speaker 1>Carolina Blaze hosting the Oklahoma City Spark.

0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:23.200
<v Speaker 2>This one has huge playoff implications.

0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:25.800
<v Speaker 1>After Oklahoma City managed to keep its season alive with

0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:28.680
<v Speaker 1>a win over the Blaze on Sunday, three teams are

0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:31.560
<v Speaker 1>going to qualify for the postseason, which gets underway on Thursday.

0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.920
<v Speaker 1>The Chicago Bandits and the Utah Talons have already clinched

0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:37.599
<v Speaker 1>their spots, while the Portland Cascade currently set in the

0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:40.760
<v Speaker 1>third play spot. Oklahoma City entered the three game series

0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:43.440
<v Speaker 1>against the Blaze needing a clean sweep, and after winning

0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:45.880
<v Speaker 1>their first two games, they control their own fate heading

0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:49.359
<v Speaker 1>into tonight's regular season finale. Meantime, at the bottom of

0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:52.800
<v Speaker 1>the AOSL standings were the Texas Volts, already eliminated from

0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:56.359
<v Speaker 1>playoff contention, so Sierra Merrow played the final game of

0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:59.760
<v Speaker 1>her legendary career on Sunday, a ten to one route

0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:03.080
<v Speaker 1>at the hands of the Cascade. Sierra's last home game

0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:06.920
<v Speaker 1>came earlier this weekend, opposite sister Sidney, who plays for

0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:08.279
<v Speaker 1>the Oklahoma City Spark.

0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:10.960
<v Speaker 2>Just try not to cry seeing.

0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.960
<v Speaker 1>The photo of the two sisters still in uniform, sitting

0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:17.200
<v Speaker 1>on the field together, watching postgame fireworks and taking it

0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:20.440
<v Speaker 1>all in one last time. We'll put that photo in

0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:23.719
<v Speaker 1>the show Notes to Lacrosse, where one half of the

0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:28.080
<v Speaker 1>inaugural WLL Championship matchup is set. The Maryland Charm clinched

0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:30.159
<v Speaker 1>their spot on Friday with the twenty one to seventeen

0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:33.120
<v Speaker 1>win over the Boston Guard, the highest scoring game in

0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:36.279
<v Speaker 1>WLL history. It's likely that the Charm will play the

0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:39.840
<v Speaker 1>California Palms and the championship on August fifteenth, so long

0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.400
<v Speaker 1>as the Palms either win their final regular season game

0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:44.680
<v Speaker 1>against the Boston Guard on August eighth, or lose by

0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:45.839
<v Speaker 1>eight goals or fewer.

0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:49.240
<v Speaker 2>All right slices.

0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:52.200
<v Speaker 1>It's been a wild news filled couple of weeks since

0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:53.600
<v Speaker 1>we took off for summer break.

0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:56.760
<v Speaker 2>So you know that, I know that you know that

0:06:56.760 --> 0:07:01.279
<v Speaker 2>that wasn't all you need to know what else happened?

0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:05.960
<v Speaker 1>The WNBA saw it's biggest regular season crowd ever the

0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:09.120
<v Speaker 1>previous record was twenty thousand, seven hundred eleven set by

0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:11.600
<v Speaker 1>the Washington Mystics at Capitol One Arena in DC in

0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:15.640
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty four, and Canada said hold our Molson because

0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:18.480
<v Speaker 1>a new record. Twenty nine hundred and ninety six packed

0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:20.760
<v Speaker 1>the Bell Center in Montreal to see the Dallas Wings

0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:23.720
<v Speaker 1>beat the Toronto Tempo. Now the all time record still

0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:26.320
<v Speaker 1>stands twenty two thousand and seventy six fans for Game

0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:29.400
<v Speaker 1>five of the two thousand and seven WNBA Finals between

0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:31.880
<v Speaker 1>the Phoenix Mercury and the Detroit Chok at the Palace

0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:34.680
<v Speaker 1>of Auburn Hills. What else happened in the w Well,

0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:37.880
<v Speaker 1>let's see. On July sixth, the Chicago Sky Skyler Diggins

0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.880
<v Speaker 1>posted about how she'd be coming off the bench, teasing

0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:43.000
<v Speaker 1>at some tension and saying how she's been good and

0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:47.000
<v Speaker 1>quiet all season despite the team's struggles. And she hasn't

0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:50.400
<v Speaker 1>played since, citing discomfort in her knees stemming from a

0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:53.280
<v Speaker 1>surgery she had last year. Now, whether she can't play

0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:56.680
<v Speaker 1>or just isn't playing, either way, her future with the

0:07:56.680 --> 0:08:00.800
<v Speaker 1>team seems uncertain. Are we headed for another star forcing

0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:01.840
<v Speaker 1>a trade out of Chicago?

0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:02.680
<v Speaker 3>Ugh?

0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:04.600
<v Speaker 1>We don't know for sure yet, but the fact that

0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:07.080
<v Speaker 1>this is happening again is why we can't have nice

0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:10.240
<v Speaker 1>things like I don't know the practice facility that was

0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:14.000
<v Speaker 1>promised for before this season started, or I don't know

0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:16.880
<v Speaker 1>a single Chicago Sky player in the All Star Game

0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:20.000
<v Speaker 1>happening in Chicago.

0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:21.480
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of the.

0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:24.240
<v Speaker 1>Struggle bus, the Los Angeles Sparks, who have floundered without

0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:26.840
<v Speaker 1>star Kelsey Plumb and are feeling the absence of other

0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:30.440
<v Speaker 1>injured players too, like Cameron Brink, reportedly mutually parted ways

0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:34.160
<v Speaker 1>with GM Reagan Peebly. They've since lost four straight games.

0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:37.480
<v Speaker 1>They did get one dub of another kind, though, former

0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:39.920
<v Speaker 1>vice president Kambala Harris sat court side for a game

0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:43.760
<v Speaker 1>and referred to Neka Ogumakay as Madam President hell of

0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:47.800
<v Speaker 1>a flex. Neka also newly unemployed Kennedy Carter. The Las

0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:51.200
<v Speaker 1>Vegas Aces signed rookie guard Justine Passat, waving Carter to

0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:53.880
<v Speaker 1>make rou now. Carter was shooting sixty percent from the

0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:56.880
<v Speaker 1>field and averaging over twelve points in just under seventeen

0:08:56.920 --> 0:09:00.280
<v Speaker 1>minutes a game, but a social media post complaining about

0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:03.120
<v Speaker 1>coach Becky Hammond having her on a leash, and rumors

0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:05.560
<v Speaker 1>of some tension with the team are presumed to be

0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:09.520
<v Speaker 1>the reason Carter is without a team yet again. Across

0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:12.319
<v Speaker 1>the country. The grounded plane we mentioned earlier isn't the

0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:14.640
<v Speaker 1>New York Liberty's only problem. The Liberty have lost eight

0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:17.760
<v Speaker 1>of their last ten regular season contests, including a loss

0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:21.040
<v Speaker 1>to the Tempo that saw Benigelini Hamilton ejected after tossing

0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:24.240
<v Speaker 1>a shoe lost by johnqwell Jones hitting Toronto's Marina Mabry

0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:26.600
<v Speaker 1>in the back. That sentence was not a mad lib,

0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:29.640
<v Speaker 1>so I'd just say you can keep that viral clip

0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:31.880
<v Speaker 1>of Sabrina and Escu saying what the over and over

0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:35.360
<v Speaker 1>close by for repeated use until New York gets their

0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:38.560
<v Speaker 1>shit together. A team that does have their shit together,

0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:41.680
<v Speaker 1>the Minnesota Lynx. On July ninth, the Links best of

0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:44.560
<v Speaker 1>the Connecticut Sun to give coach Cheryl Reeve the WNBA

0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:47.680
<v Speaker 1>record for career regular season wins with three hundred and eighty,

0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:51.280
<v Speaker 1>and a few games later, super rookie Olivia Miles became

0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:54.640
<v Speaker 1>the fastest player in WNBA history to reach four hundred points,

0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:56.840
<v Speaker 1>one hundred rebounds, and one hundred assists.

0:09:57.000 --> 0:09:59.800
<v Speaker 2>She did it in just twenty two games. She's cooking

0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:01.199
<v Speaker 2>speaking a cooking.

0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Jess Sheppard cooked up her third triple double of the

0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:06.240
<v Speaker 1>season in a Wings win over the Liberty that saw

0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:09.560
<v Speaker 1>Robin Roberts and Gino Oriema reunited to call the game.

0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:14.160
<v Speaker 1>That duo called ESPN's first ever WNBA game thirty years ago.

0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:18.240
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of thirty years ago, Kitlyn Clark was not born yet,

0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:22.000
<v Speaker 1>and somehow the WNBA not only existed without her, it

0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:25.800
<v Speaker 1>was a massive success, including twenty thousand plus people showing

0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:29.200
<v Speaker 1>up for a Mystic's Utah Stars game. Somebody better tell

0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:32.559
<v Speaker 1>Republican blowhards and right wing journalists that, because they started

0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:36.320
<v Speaker 1>yet another insufferable news cycle about Kaitlin Clark getting fouled

0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:38.680
<v Speaker 1>too much while we were on summer break. In fact,

0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:42.440
<v Speaker 1>eleven members of Congress, led by the Republican Study Committee chairman,

0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:45.720
<v Speaker 1>sent a letter to the WNBA to quote unquote protect

0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:46.560
<v Speaker 1>Kitlin Clark.

0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:48.880
<v Speaker 2>Are we having fun yet, y'all?

0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Because first the letter, then a frankly baffling play where

0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:55.760
<v Speaker 1>Clark was defending Chelsea Gray on the block got whistled

0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:59.079
<v Speaker 1>for the foul, and then seconds later inexplicably dropped to

0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:02.320
<v Speaker 1>her knees as if greatly injured, prompting a review from

0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:06.960
<v Speaker 1>the officials for I guess a potential hostile act from Gray,

0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:10.840
<v Speaker 1>but of course the replay showed literally nothing. Clark popped

0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:13.120
<v Speaker 1>up uninjured to scream at the officials, and then a

0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:15.679
<v Speaker 1>few days later she lost her shit on the officials again,

0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:18.920
<v Speaker 1>both midgame and in a postgame presser about an alleged

0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:21.320
<v Speaker 1>knee to the quad on a foul I frankly couldn't

0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:23.520
<v Speaker 1>see despite six times watching the play in soul motion.

0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:26.040
<v Speaker 2>In fact, it kind of looked like she pushed off

0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:29.480
<v Speaker 2>as she went up. Either way, the vibes were bad,

0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:31.959
<v Speaker 2>y'all real bad now.

0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:35.160
<v Speaker 1>Thankfully for Caitlin and people who miss watching and talking

0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:39.120
<v Speaker 1>about actual basketball, she went off at just the right

0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:41.400
<v Speaker 1>time to remind us why she blew up and became

0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:44.040
<v Speaker 1>a megastar in the first place, putting up a career

0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:48.520
<v Speaker 1>high and franchise record forty five points alongside Tennisis in

0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:50.960
<v Speaker 1>a win over the Storm on Friday night, becoming the

0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:54.079
<v Speaker 1>first player in WNBA history to record at least forty

0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:56.440
<v Speaker 1>points and tennisis in a game, and she did it

0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:57.840
<v Speaker 1>in just twenty nine minutes.

0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:02.160
<v Speaker 2>Insane. Unfortunately, the feel goods didn't last long.

0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:04.720
<v Speaker 1>Clark got her sixth technical fowl of the season just

0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:08.200
<v Speaker 1>ninety seconds into Saturday's game, arguing after she didn't get

0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:10.400
<v Speaker 1>a call in a hard screen from John Qwell Jones.

0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:12.880
<v Speaker 2>Now, surely that foul.

0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:17.400
<v Speaker 1>And Caitlin's complaints won't start another news cycle. Oh, it

0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:21.640
<v Speaker 1>already has great and those Republican reps are likely already

0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:26.640
<v Speaker 1>drafting another letter. Cool cool, cool cool, no no deff

0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:30.760
<v Speaker 1>seems like a good use of government time, energy, and resources.

0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:31.600
<v Speaker 2>It's not like.

0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:34.960
<v Speaker 1>We're literally at war with Iran getting murdered by ice

0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:37.160
<v Speaker 1>on the streets, can't afford groceries or gas, are living

0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:39.839
<v Speaker 1>in fear of bagged salads and collectively shitting our brains

0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:44.439
<v Speaker 1>out anyway, while a bunch of shit for brains politicians

0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:46.600
<v Speaker 1>and journalists are trying to use Clark as a cudgel

0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:49.480
<v Speaker 1>for their racist and homophobic agenda, complaining about her being

0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:50.280
<v Speaker 1>fouled too much.

0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:52.800
<v Speaker 2>Chelsea Gray shared the real issue that.

0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:55.640
<v Speaker 1>Should have hands ringing and the powers that be acting,

0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:58.840
<v Speaker 1>an issue that so many other players are dealing with too,

0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:03.560
<v Speaker 1>racist awful attacks from fans after the game, I mentioned

0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:05.600
<v Speaker 1>where Clark dropped to her knees with a phantom injury,

0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:08.640
<v Speaker 1>allegedly caused by Gray The Vegas Star shared a DM

0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:12.400
<v Speaker 1>that read you suck ass ugly ass n word. The

0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:15.920
<v Speaker 1>cender was tracked down and immediately shit canned by their employer,

0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:20.400
<v Speaker 1>Hilton Grant Vacations. So good for Hilton Grand Vacations and

0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:22.560
<v Speaker 1>take a long walk off a short peer to the

0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:26.480
<v Speaker 1>person who sent up meantime, while we spend too much

0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:29.040
<v Speaker 1>time arguing about the quote unquote face of the league

0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:31.800
<v Speaker 1>who is a tremendously talented player but still hasn't yet

0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:35.360
<v Speaker 1>won shit, Nafisa Callier, Dewana Bonner and the actual face

0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:37.480
<v Speaker 1>of the League, Asia Wilson are the subject of a

0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:40.520
<v Speaker 1>new six part ESPN docuseriies called Life in the w

0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:44.760
<v Speaker 1>Super excited about this at premiere July twenty fourth. All right,

0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:45.840
<v Speaker 1>that's enough, Wnba.

0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:48.199
<v Speaker 2>Let's get to golf where South Korea is hi Ron.

0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:51.040
<v Speaker 1>You beat Brooke Henderson in the first extra hole of

0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:54.440
<v Speaker 1>a playoff to win the Evyon Championship, and you shot

0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:57.160
<v Speaker 1>a sixty on day three of the tournament, the lowest

0:13:57.240 --> 0:14:00.720
<v Speaker 1>round ever shot at an LPGA major. On the track,

0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:02.880
<v Speaker 1>friend of the Show, Nikki Hilts took first place in

0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:05.960
<v Speaker 1>the mile at the Prefontaine Classic. Meat using their signature

0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:08.720
<v Speaker 1>late kick to pass three time Olympic gold medalist Faith

0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:09.520
<v Speaker 1>kip Yegun.

0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:10.679
<v Speaker 2>Hilts crossed the.

0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:13.679
<v Speaker 1>Line in four minutes seventeen point four nine seconds, the

0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:17.360
<v Speaker 1>best time in the world this season. Meantime in the pool,

0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:21.880
<v Speaker 1>Summer McIntosh said, this season, how about ever, the three

0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:24.560
<v Speaker 1>time Olympic gold medalists broke the longest standing world record

0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:27.360
<v Speaker 1>in women's swimming, clocking two minutes one point sixty five

0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:30.000
<v Speaker 1>seconds in the two hundred meters butterfly at the Canadian

0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:33.360
<v Speaker 1>Trials in Montreal earlier this month. The previous records set

0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:35.840
<v Speaker 1>by China's Liu Juge in late two thousand and nine,

0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:38.520
<v Speaker 1>was set when record after record were being broken by

0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:42.480
<v Speaker 1>swimmers and poly are athane supersuits that were ultimately banned

0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:44.800
<v Speaker 1>starting in twenty ten. They used to think it was

0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:48.240
<v Speaker 1>an untouchable record, Summer McIntosh was like, watch this.

0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:51.000
<v Speaker 2>In tennis, twenty one year old Linda.

0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Noskova became the youngest woman to win Wimbledon since twenty eleven,

0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:58.080
<v Speaker 1>defeating fellow Czech Carolina Muhova, claiming the Wimbledon singles title,

0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:02.760
<v Speaker 1>her first Grand Slam trophy. In soccer, US players on

0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:05.680
<v Speaker 1>next summer's Women's World Cup roster will get two hundred

0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:08.680
<v Speaker 1>and sixty seven thousand dollars a piece from the outcome

0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:11.360
<v Speaker 1>of the US men's national team in their World Cup run. Now,

0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:13.320
<v Speaker 1>this is a result of the revenue share built into

0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:16.960
<v Speaker 1>their groundbreaking equal pay contract, and it finally allows us

0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:20.560
<v Speaker 1>to say thanks men speaking to men before telling fans

0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:23.320
<v Speaker 1>at the Men's World Cup Final to belieb Ahead of

0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:26.760
<v Speaker 1>the Justin Bieber halftime show, Jason Sadeikis, Brendan Hunt and

0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:29.360
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the Ted Lasso cast descended on Kansas

0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:32.840
<v Speaker 1>City and the Current's CPKC Stadium for a weekend of

0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:36.440
<v Speaker 1>events celebrating the upcoming season of the hit show centered.

0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:39.440
<v Speaker 2>Around a Richmond women's team. I can't wait for this.

0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:43.680
<v Speaker 1>Juno Temple aka Keighley even rocked Casey Current gear and

0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:46.400
<v Speaker 1>apparently there's a storyline in the show about the team.

0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of Angel City fc cowner Jennifer Garner's new show,

0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:53.240
<v Speaker 1>five Star Weekend features a storyline about an Angel City

0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:56.720
<v Speaker 1>player with a little creative license that I'm sure ACFC

0:15:56.800 --> 0:15:59.480
<v Speaker 1>fans will love. There's a reference to the team going

0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:03.520
<v Speaker 1>for a three pete only in Hollywood, but not literally

0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:07.040
<v Speaker 1>in Hollywood at least not yet. We love women's sports

0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:10.320
<v Speaker 1>in mainstream pop culture. More more, more of that please.

0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:14.240
<v Speaker 1>In USLW Soccer our show side, the Minnesota Aurora felt

0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:17.960
<v Speaker 1>to Salmon BFC in penalty kicks in the semifinals with

0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:21.080
<v Speaker 1>a controversial yellow card that resulted in a Salmon Bay

0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:24.040
<v Speaker 1>penalty kick that tied the game in regulation and honestly,

0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:26.160
<v Speaker 1>that was just insult added to jury because the team

0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:28.000
<v Speaker 1>had to travel all the way to the West Coast

0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:30.440
<v Speaker 1>for the semi final round after being in Pittsburgh for

0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:33.120
<v Speaker 1>two playoff games before that, despite being the number one

0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:35.440
<v Speaker 1>seed with a fourteen oh to o record and routinely

0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:39.360
<v Speaker 1>selling out their world class home field Tco Stadium. But no,

0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:41.480
<v Speaker 1>they didn't get to host the game and they didn't

0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:42.760
<v Speaker 1>get to host a playoff game at all.

0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:43.720
<v Speaker 2>Bullshit.

0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:48.240
<v Speaker 1>That being said, congrats to Salmon BAFC who went on

0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:51.160
<v Speaker 1>to win it all. Their crest remains my favorite and

0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:55.280
<v Speaker 1>looks like the landscape of all my retirement dreams. Speaking

0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:58.120
<v Speaker 1>of dreams, last weekend was a dream for the ausl's

0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:00.400
<v Speaker 1>best and brightest as they showed up and showed out

0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:04.280
<v Speaker 1>at MLB All Star Weekend. The inaugural MLBX All Star

0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:07.080
<v Speaker 1>three on three brought together major League Baseball legends, Philly

0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:11.040
<v Speaker 1>sports icons, celebrities, and four athletes unlimited Softball league stars

0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:14.840
<v Speaker 1>for a super entertaining competition that saw Texas volt star

0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:19.560
<v Speaker 1>Rachel Garcia win MVP honors. On another kind of diamond,

0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:22.160
<v Speaker 1>The Women's Professional Baseball League is gearing up for its

0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:25.680
<v Speaker 1>inaugural season, which starts August first. By revealing the team

0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:29.080
<v Speaker 1>names and logos, we got the Boston Hunters, New York Heights,

0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:32.639
<v Speaker 1>Los Angeles Queens, and San Francisco fire Bells. There are

0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:34.719
<v Speaker 1>some really cool backstory as to how they came up

0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:37.560
<v Speaker 1>with these names and logos, and you might recognize a

0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:41.200
<v Speaker 1>very familiar voice narrating the wpbl's league and team videos

0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:45.160
<v Speaker 1>for the brand rollout, so go check them out on Instagram.

0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:48.040
<v Speaker 1>A lot of Olympic news while we were gone. The

0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:52.000
<v Speaker 1>IOC announced that ski and snowboard free Ride and Synchro nine,

0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:55.400
<v Speaker 1>a new nine skater format of synchronized skating, have all

0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:57.640
<v Speaker 1>been added to the competition program for the twenty thirty

0:17:57.720 --> 0:18:02.000
<v Speaker 1>games in the French Alps, while removing Nordic Combined from competition.

0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:04.359
<v Speaker 1>Now we mentioned this could be a possibility in a

0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:07.040
<v Speaker 1>previous show. Instead of adding a women's event in the

0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Nordic Combined, which is one of the original Winter Olympic sports,

0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:13.200
<v Speaker 1>the IOC instead announced the sport will not be contested

0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:16.359
<v Speaker 1>at all. They also provisionally lifted their suspension of the

0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:19.879
<v Speaker 1>Russian Olympic Committee, allowing Russian athletes to return to international

0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:22.800
<v Speaker 1>competitions for the LA twenty twenty eight Olympic qualifiers.

0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:25.480
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of the Olympics, six.

0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Time Olympic medalist Jim Nissunni Lee, who's been on a

0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:30.399
<v Speaker 1>break from the sport since the Paris Games, announced an

0:18:30.440 --> 0:18:32.439
<v Speaker 1>official return to competition with her.

0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:33.880
<v Speaker 2>Site set on LA twenty eight.

0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:37.880
<v Speaker 1>Lee was diagnosed with two rare and curable kidney diseases

0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:39.720
<v Speaker 1>in the lead up to the last Olympics, and she

0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:42.000
<v Speaker 1>said recently, quote I didn't really get a full chance

0:18:42.040 --> 0:18:44.520
<v Speaker 1>to I guess compete at my full potential, and I

0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:46.480
<v Speaker 1>think this time around, I want to give myself that

0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:50.040
<v Speaker 1>chance end quote. There's also a documentary about her return

0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:54.480
<v Speaker 1>currently in production. Fellow Olympic Superstar world record holder in

0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:57.000
<v Speaker 1>the four hundred meter hurdles, Sidney mcglauchl and Lavroni took

0:18:57.000 --> 0:18:59.040
<v Speaker 1>a break from the track to give birth to her

0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:03.080
<v Speaker 1>first child, daughter Savannah. Good Luck Curdlin over a floor

0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:06.560
<v Speaker 1>full of legos in three to five years, said finally,

0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:10.440
<v Speaker 1>on the topic of Olympians. This past weekend, rapper hype

0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:13.560
<v Speaker 1>man and public enemy legend Flavor Flav put together a

0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:18.160
<v Speaker 1>four day Las Vegas extravaganza to honor Team USA Olympic

0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:21.920
<v Speaker 1>women athletes. She weekend brought together over one hundred athletes

0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:25.360
<v Speaker 1>for a parade on the Vegas Strip, concerts, dinners, panels,

0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:28.800
<v Speaker 1>and so much more. I have lots to say about

0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:33.120
<v Speaker 1>what was ultimately a wild, incredible, unbelievable weekend, and that's

0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:36.480
<v Speaker 1>coming up with Big Citrus right after the break stick around.

0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:47.240
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back, everybody, and welcome to season three of Good

0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:48.359
<v Speaker 1>Game with Sarah Spain.

0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:51.800
<v Speaker 2>Let's clap it up for ourselves, y'all. We made it.

0:19:52.119 --> 0:19:52.960
<v Speaker 2>We made it.

0:19:54.359 --> 0:19:56.720
<v Speaker 3>Every show can say that. I'm thinking of all the

0:19:56.760 --> 0:19:58.480
<v Speaker 3>great shows that ended after two seasons.

0:19:58.480 --> 0:20:00.000
<v Speaker 2>But here we are.

0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:02.800
<v Speaker 1>We are season three back better than ever, I guarantee it.

0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes you know you can't compete with the original.

0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:06.359
<v Speaker 2>The sequels never live up.

0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:08.840
<v Speaker 1>But I think in our case, it's going to be

0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:09.960
<v Speaker 1>bigger and better than ever.

0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:11.440
<v Speaker 2>Who am I talking to right now?

0:20:11.480 --> 0:20:15.639
<v Speaker 1>Well, if you're new to the show, welcome, There's almost

0:20:15.640 --> 0:20:17.000
<v Speaker 1>five hundred episodes.

0:20:16.640 --> 0:20:19.040
<v Speaker 2>For you to catch up on. But thank you for

0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:20.919
<v Speaker 2>being here and joining us for season three.

0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:24.359
<v Speaker 1>My lovely producers Bianca and Alex. Bianca tell him a

0:20:24.400 --> 0:20:25.440
<v Speaker 1>little bit about yourself.

0:20:25.640 --> 0:20:27.720
<v Speaker 2>Hey, my name is Bianca.

0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:31.080
<v Speaker 4>I joined Good Game in season two, which one of

0:20:31.080 --> 0:20:34.639
<v Speaker 4>our listeners affectionately told me was my rookie season, And

0:20:34.720 --> 0:20:37.320
<v Speaker 4>so now I'm wondering, am I out of my rookie season?

0:20:37.520 --> 0:20:40.040
<v Speaker 2>Since we're now in season three, we'll allow it.

0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:43.320
<v Speaker 3>I think you would now have two service heres, Bianca.

0:20:43.640 --> 0:20:47.919
<v Speaker 1>And we're expecting no sophomore slump. No, no, no, definitely not.

0:20:48.520 --> 0:20:51.480
<v Speaker 3>And in five years you'll be eligible of for free agency.

0:20:54.480 --> 0:20:57.600
<v Speaker 1>Wow, Alex just locked you down for a number of

0:20:57.640 --> 0:20:59.840
<v Speaker 1>seasons you are not allowed to.

0:21:00.800 --> 0:21:03.600
<v Speaker 3>It's kind of crazy in sports that that's how it works.

0:21:03.720 --> 0:21:05.400
<v Speaker 2>It is true anyway.

0:21:05.480 --> 0:21:08.920
<v Speaker 4>I'm not a professional athlete, but I love talking about them.

0:21:08.960 --> 0:21:10.120
<v Speaker 2>I love women's sports.

0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:12.320
<v Speaker 4>I love getting to tell these stories, and I'm so

0:21:12.320 --> 0:21:13.320
<v Speaker 4>excited for this season.

0:21:13.800 --> 0:21:15.280
<v Speaker 2>Alex, tell us about yourself.

0:21:15.800 --> 0:21:20.159
<v Speaker 3>I'm Alex. I've been here since the beginning, and I

0:21:20.200 --> 0:21:23.160
<v Speaker 3>love women's sports and I love the Olympics. That's all

0:21:23.160 --> 0:21:23.800
<v Speaker 3>I prepared.

0:21:24.400 --> 0:21:25.520
<v Speaker 2>Yes, well that's all we need.

0:21:25.560 --> 0:21:27.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, anyone who listens to the show knows that

0:21:27.280 --> 0:21:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Alex knows more than pretty much anyone about the Olympics

0:21:30.320 --> 0:21:33.119
<v Speaker 1>literally used to be an Olympic researcher, and that both

0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:36.280
<v Speaker 1>of these women love women's sports, which is why we're

0:21:36.280 --> 0:21:38.840
<v Speaker 1>all here. If you did not listen to the recent

0:21:38.880 --> 0:21:42.320
<v Speaker 1>episode we did, it was called how the mostly Vegetarian

0:21:42.359 --> 0:21:46.160
<v Speaker 1>Sausage is Made with big Citrus or something like that,

0:21:46.840 --> 0:21:48.679
<v Speaker 1>go listen to that because we talk a lot about

0:21:48.680 --> 0:21:51.200
<v Speaker 1>a survey that we gave our listeners, why we make

0:21:51.200 --> 0:21:53.200
<v Speaker 1>the show the way we make it, how we decide

0:21:53.240 --> 0:21:54.960
<v Speaker 1>what to put in it, and asking for a lot

0:21:54.960 --> 0:21:57.280
<v Speaker 1>of suggestions about guests and ideas that people want to

0:21:57.320 --> 0:21:59.640
<v Speaker 1>hear this season. Go give that a listen, and it'll

0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:01.640
<v Speaker 1>help you kind of set the stage for what we're

0:22:01.680 --> 0:22:03.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna do here, which reminds me, like, what do we

0:22:03.880 --> 0:22:05.720
<v Speaker 1>want to do here in season three? We don't need

0:22:05.760 --> 0:22:07.439
<v Speaker 1>to talk about what we're killing it out. We just

0:22:07.480 --> 0:22:09.920
<v Speaker 1>need to talk about anything new or bigger or better

0:22:09.960 --> 0:22:11.880
<v Speaker 1>that we want to accomplish in season three.

0:22:12.359 --> 0:22:15.280
<v Speaker 3>Wait, Sarah, are we doing this in Sarah Spain style

0:22:15.840 --> 0:22:19.119
<v Speaker 3>and making it intentions instead of resolutions like we do

0:22:19.200 --> 0:22:19.960
<v Speaker 3>around New Year?

0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:22.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think that's always best.

0:22:23.880 --> 0:22:27.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know something about the resolution desk that doesn't

0:22:27.040 --> 0:22:29.119
<v Speaker 1>seem like a place that things actually get done. So

0:22:29.160 --> 0:22:32.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to go with the intention table, where I

0:22:32.440 --> 0:22:35.000
<v Speaker 1>actually intend to do things and do most of them.

0:22:35.119 --> 0:22:37.520
<v Speaker 1>Which reminds me, Alex, we are coming up on your

0:22:37.800 --> 0:22:39.720
<v Speaker 1>date by which you need to make homemade bread.

0:22:39.840 --> 0:22:42.600
<v Speaker 3>Oh oh yeah, I forgot about. How is it we

0:22:42.640 --> 0:22:46.800
<v Speaker 3>accomplished so much, so much on my Dango card last week?

0:22:46.840 --> 0:22:48.879
<v Speaker 3>I checked off like five boxes on it.

0:22:48.920 --> 0:22:50.800
<v Speaker 2>So amazing me too. I made bread.

0:22:51.080 --> 0:22:53.720
<v Speaker 1>I was outside with my dogs, enjoying the outdoor spaces.

0:22:53.760 --> 0:22:55.919
<v Speaker 1>I had a dinner party. I read so many New

0:22:56.000 --> 0:22:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Yorkers went through the stack, I mean so many of

0:22:59.480 --> 0:23:00.000
<v Speaker 1>my intentions.

0:23:00.160 --> 0:23:02.800
<v Speaker 2>I was in a swimsuit in the sun. I mean

0:23:02.880 --> 0:23:03.159
<v Speaker 2>it was.

0:23:03.280 --> 0:23:05.879
<v Speaker 1>I danced in Vegas a lot, which was on my

0:23:05.920 --> 0:23:07.879
<v Speaker 1>Bingo card. I might be done.

0:23:08.440 --> 0:23:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Pack it up. Twenty twenty six. That's it, it twenty six

0:23:12.119 --> 0:23:14.280
<v Speaker 2>is done. I accomplished it all.

0:23:15.160 --> 0:23:18.640
<v Speaker 1>No, this will be our intention table for season three

0:23:18.720 --> 0:23:21.080
<v Speaker 1>and I'll start by just saying mine is very simple.

0:23:21.160 --> 0:23:23.760
<v Speaker 2>I think we're making a great show. I love doing it.

0:23:23.760 --> 0:23:26.359
<v Speaker 1>It is a lot of work, but I feel so

0:23:26.520 --> 0:23:28.119
<v Speaker 1>good about what we're putting out there, so I just

0:23:28.160 --> 0:23:29.800
<v Speaker 1>want more people to hear it. So for me, the

0:23:29.840 --> 0:23:32.640
<v Speaker 1>biggest goal is to get the listeners that we have

0:23:32.680 --> 0:23:34.919
<v Speaker 1>to share it and to find ourselves in more spaces

0:23:34.920 --> 0:23:36.960
<v Speaker 1>where we can find new people to know about the

0:23:36.960 --> 0:23:37.840
<v Speaker 1>show and love it.

0:23:38.160 --> 0:23:38.719
<v Speaker 2>I love that.

0:23:39.359 --> 0:23:41.480
<v Speaker 3>My goal for the year, my intention for the year,

0:23:41.520 --> 0:23:44.600
<v Speaker 3>excuse me, is to finally get some of the guests

0:23:44.640 --> 0:23:46.800
<v Speaker 3>that have been on our most wanted list on the

0:23:46.880 --> 0:23:48.400
<v Speaker 3>show you know who you are.

0:23:49.000 --> 0:23:52.280
<v Speaker 4>That's a good intention, Alex, because mine's kind of the opposite.

0:23:52.480 --> 0:23:55.720
<v Speaker 4>I want to get people on who we haven't even

0:23:55.760 --> 0:23:59.119
<v Speaker 4>necessarily heard of or spoken to, who are key to

0:24:00.119 --> 0:24:03.199
<v Speaker 4>making women's sports you know what it is today. So

0:24:03.640 --> 0:24:05.960
<v Speaker 4>I think between the three of us, we've got a

0:24:05.960 --> 0:24:07.120
<v Speaker 4>hell of a season coming up.

0:24:07.720 --> 0:24:09.800
<v Speaker 2>We've got a hell of a season coming up. And

0:24:09.840 --> 0:24:10.520
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell y'all.

0:24:11.160 --> 0:24:13.480
<v Speaker 1>When I was planning to head out for this Vegas

0:24:13.680 --> 0:24:16.360
<v Speaker 1>she weekend that flavor Flave put on, I wasn't sure

0:24:16.359 --> 0:24:18.600
<v Speaker 1>what to expect, and I thought it was going to

0:24:18.600 --> 0:24:20.399
<v Speaker 1>be a party, which I was excited for, but I

0:24:20.440 --> 0:24:24.639
<v Speaker 1>had no idea how moving it was going to be,

0:24:25.280 --> 0:24:30.120
<v Speaker 1>how educational, how organized and thoughtful and intentional it.

0:24:30.040 --> 0:24:32.639
<v Speaker 2>Was going to be. When you hear flavor flav is

0:24:32.680 --> 0:24:35.600
<v Speaker 2>throwing a party in Vegas, I don't know that you

0:24:35.720 --> 0:24:39.959
<v Speaker 2>expect there to be carefully curated panels of extremely insightful

0:24:39.960 --> 0:24:42.960
<v Speaker 2>people helping athletes think through some of the most stressful

0:24:43.000 --> 0:24:46.320
<v Speaker 2>and difficult decisions of their life. And that's what happened.

0:24:46.480 --> 0:24:49.840
<v Speaker 1>And I could talk about this weekend for hours, so

0:24:50.240 --> 0:24:52.560
<v Speaker 1>I knew I would have to pare it down, so

0:24:52.640 --> 0:24:54.840
<v Speaker 1>I made a top ten list to try to keep

0:24:54.880 --> 0:24:56.400
<v Speaker 1>me slightly.

0:24:56.080 --> 0:24:58.400
<v Speaker 2>Edited in my recap of all the amazing things.

0:24:58.440 --> 0:25:00.880
<v Speaker 1>Please do also go to my insta at Spain two

0:25:00.880 --> 0:25:03.720
<v Speaker 1>three two three, where I am still there's so much

0:25:03.760 --> 0:25:05.920
<v Speaker 1>more I need to post that went down, but I've

0:25:05.920 --> 0:25:07.840
<v Speaker 1>been posting some of the fun stuff we did. Okay,

0:25:08.480 --> 0:25:11.440
<v Speaker 1>speaking of fun stuff, Number ten of my favorite things

0:25:11.480 --> 0:25:14.639
<v Speaker 1>from this she weekend, which, for those who might not know,

0:25:15.040 --> 0:25:17.760
<v Speaker 1>after the US women's hockey team was sort of derided

0:25:17.840 --> 0:25:20.080
<v Speaker 1>by President Trump and he made a joke about it. Howard

0:25:20.080 --> 0:25:23.320
<v Speaker 1>of You're right, derided by President Trump, and he made

0:25:23.359 --> 0:25:25.000
<v Speaker 1>a joke about how no, we have to invite them

0:25:25.040 --> 0:25:25.560
<v Speaker 1>to the White.

0:25:25.359 --> 0:25:26.920
<v Speaker 2>House, and everyone laughed at their expense.

0:25:27.000 --> 0:25:30.320
<v Speaker 1>Flavor Flav, who has been a benefactor for women's water

0:25:30.359 --> 0:25:33.200
<v Speaker 1>polo and later for men's and women's bobsled and skeleton

0:25:33.240 --> 0:25:36.000
<v Speaker 1>at the Games, stepped in and was like, this is bullshit.

0:25:36.280 --> 0:25:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Who wants to go to the White House anyway? I'll

0:25:37.800 --> 0:25:40.080
<v Speaker 1>throw y'all a party in Vegas instead. Start out with

0:25:40.080 --> 0:25:44.119
<v Speaker 1>women's hockey snowballt into over one hundred athletes, mostly women,

0:25:44.119 --> 0:25:46.480
<v Speaker 1>and then some men from the bobs led skeleton and

0:25:47.560 --> 0:25:49.439
<v Speaker 1>said he'd throw them a party in Vegas and it

0:25:49.480 --> 0:25:53.280
<v Speaker 1>turned into this massive weekend called she Weekend.

0:25:53.359 --> 0:25:55.400
<v Speaker 2>So these are my top ten moments from the weekend.

0:25:55.600 --> 0:25:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Number ten was there was so much music, and music

0:25:58.840 --> 0:26:01.480
<v Speaker 1>makes me happy. It makes me cry and dance and

0:26:01.520 --> 0:26:04.240
<v Speaker 1>smile and be so joyful. So getting to see Ed

0:26:04.280 --> 0:26:07.680
<v Speaker 1>Sheeran Montel Jordan did a late night set with Flavor

0:26:07.720 --> 0:26:10.720
<v Speaker 1>Flav was doing all the throwbacks for those who don't

0:26:10.720 --> 0:26:14.159
<v Speaker 1>know him, this is how we do. It is the

0:26:14.160 --> 0:26:17.639
<v Speaker 1>song that you definitely know. Public Enemy, Chuck d and

0:26:17.720 --> 0:26:20.960
<v Speaker 1>Flavor Flame back together on a stage, singing like these

0:26:21.000 --> 0:26:24.920
<v Speaker 1>insane hits that were like Cannon for the Rap Game

0:26:25.280 --> 0:26:28.040
<v Speaker 1>twenty years ago, and they're back on a stage together.

0:26:28.200 --> 0:26:30.920
<v Speaker 1>They remade their song he Got Game into She Got Game,

0:26:30.960 --> 0:26:33.480
<v Speaker 1>which was part of this whole weekend, and there was

0:26:33.520 --> 0:26:33.720
<v Speaker 1>just so.

0:26:33.760 --> 0:26:36.560
<v Speaker 2>Much good music which made me so happy. Sarah.

0:26:36.600 --> 0:26:40.240
<v Speaker 4>I have to ask, because I was following your Instagram stories,

0:26:40.640 --> 0:26:43.840
<v Speaker 4>to which musician did you do the splits on the

0:26:43.920 --> 0:26:44.520
<v Speaker 4>dance floor?

0:26:44.880 --> 0:26:46.159
<v Speaker 2>That was the Backstreet Boys?

0:26:46.359 --> 0:26:49.120
<v Speaker 3>To which musician did you not do the splits too?

0:26:49.359 --> 0:26:50.760
<v Speaker 2>I only did the splits once.

0:26:50.920 --> 0:26:53.320
<v Speaker 1>The dress that I was wearing on another occasion was

0:26:53.320 --> 0:26:56.320
<v Speaker 1>not splits of ropes, but we'll get to that.

0:26:56.520 --> 0:26:58.960
<v Speaker 2>We'll get to the splits that was for Backstreet Boys.

0:26:59.320 --> 0:27:01.640
<v Speaker 1>Another thing that made me really happy, Park MGM second

0:27:01.640 --> 0:27:04.480
<v Speaker 1>floor was turned into this massive headquarters for all the

0:27:04.560 --> 0:27:08.040
<v Speaker 1>panels and conversations and sponsor activations and gifting suites and

0:27:08.080 --> 0:27:10.919
<v Speaker 1>everything else. And one of the rooms was a dedicated

0:27:11.359 --> 0:27:14.200
<v Speaker 1>new Low Room, which is a company that I've mentioned

0:27:14.240 --> 0:27:15.879
<v Speaker 1>on the show before because a couple of the athletes

0:27:15.880 --> 0:27:18.400
<v Speaker 1>we've had on have neu Loo as a sponsor. They

0:27:18.440 --> 0:27:20.920
<v Speaker 1>do pet foods and treats and all the different things.

0:27:21.280 --> 0:27:24.359
<v Speaker 1>They had dogs in there all weekend, a rotation of

0:27:24.520 --> 0:27:29.880
<v Speaker 1>different dogs all weekend to pet and snuggle and take

0:27:29.920 --> 0:27:33.119
<v Speaker 1>a break with and take some stress away. And I

0:27:33.720 --> 0:27:35.800
<v Speaker 1>was so every time I walked by, like, no dogs,

0:27:35.840 --> 0:27:38.439
<v Speaker 1>no dogs, And I had to get the trading cards

0:27:38.520 --> 0:27:39.959
<v Speaker 1>and had to snugle all of them and learn all

0:27:39.960 --> 0:27:42.119
<v Speaker 1>of their names. So between the music and the dogs,

0:27:42.160 --> 0:27:45.520
<v Speaker 1>I was already freaking set before anything else happened.

0:27:45.960 --> 0:27:47.800
<v Speaker 2>But it got even better number eight.

0:27:48.240 --> 0:27:50.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna get to like a little bit more detail

0:27:50.080 --> 0:27:52.720
<v Speaker 1>about the panels later, but there was one panel that

0:27:52.880 --> 0:27:54.800
<v Speaker 1>was all meant which was new.

0:27:54.800 --> 0:27:56.399
<v Speaker 2>The rest of the panels had all been women.

0:27:56.880 --> 0:27:59.679
<v Speaker 1>It was Joe Louis, who runs Joe Louis Events that

0:28:00.080 --> 0:28:02.320
<v Speaker 1>put on the whole weekend and they've done every big

0:28:02.320 --> 0:28:05.280
<v Speaker 1>thing under the sun and volunteered and did everything for free.

0:28:05.560 --> 0:28:07.400
<v Speaker 2>It was Damien Journey, who.

0:28:07.320 --> 0:28:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Was part of seventy two, and Sonny who's in the

0:28:08.720 --> 0:28:11.920
<v Speaker 1>ownership group for San Francisco's Signal with me, and then

0:28:12.040 --> 0:28:13.879
<v Speaker 1>Hudson Taylor, who we've had on the show before who

0:28:13.960 --> 0:28:16.840
<v Speaker 1>runs athlete Ally And I thought that these men who

0:28:16.880 --> 0:28:21.480
<v Speaker 1>were talking about allyship as strategy instead of a performance

0:28:21.640 --> 0:28:24.000
<v Speaker 1>or a statement were so powerful and what they had

0:28:24.000 --> 0:28:27.280
<v Speaker 1>to say, and it really lived true to Flavor Flavor

0:28:27.280 --> 0:28:28.840
<v Speaker 1>at the top of this whole weekend, which is like

0:28:29.040 --> 0:28:31.440
<v Speaker 1>men deciding to get shit done on behalf of women

0:28:31.800 --> 0:28:34.560
<v Speaker 1>and not being cowards about it and not standing back

0:28:34.600 --> 0:28:36.560
<v Speaker 1>and watching inequity and not doing anything about it.

0:28:36.600 --> 0:28:37.120
<v Speaker 2>All three of.

0:28:37.040 --> 0:28:39.200
<v Speaker 1>These men were awesome for that, But I loved what

0:28:39.240 --> 0:28:41.920
<v Speaker 1>they talked about with This was an energy that was online,

0:28:41.960 --> 0:28:44.920
<v Speaker 1>this anger about what President Trump said, and it turned

0:28:44.960 --> 0:28:47.880
<v Speaker 1>into doing something in the world. And Joe Lewis said,

0:28:47.920 --> 0:28:50.840
<v Speaker 1>for every idiotic thing that someone says, you can turn

0:28:50.880 --> 0:28:53.560
<v Speaker 1>that into an action, like don't just be mad about it,

0:28:53.600 --> 0:28:55.200
<v Speaker 1>figure out how you react to it in a way

0:28:55.240 --> 0:28:59.400
<v Speaker 1>that actually changes things. And then Hudson said, liberation lives locally,

0:28:59.840 --> 0:29:02.640
<v Speaker 1>So every single person that you can touch and change

0:29:02.680 --> 0:29:04.400
<v Speaker 1>in your own community and in your own life is

0:29:04.440 --> 0:29:06.440
<v Speaker 1>the place to start instead of feeling like you have

0:29:06.520 --> 0:29:08.920
<v Speaker 1>to fight every battle online. And so that was like

0:29:08.960 --> 0:29:10.760
<v Speaker 1>the embodiment of this whole weekend was like, we're all

0:29:10.800 --> 0:29:13.080
<v Speaker 1>pissed about this and yelling about what Trump did online,

0:29:13.160 --> 0:29:15.520
<v Speaker 1>and Flavor Flay was like, let's do something about it.

0:29:15.560 --> 0:29:16.880
<v Speaker 2>And then everybody showed.

0:29:16.640 --> 0:29:18.680
<v Speaker 1>Up, all these sponsors, all these people to help, which

0:29:18.760 --> 0:29:29.280
<v Speaker 1>was really really beautiful. Speaking of something beautiful, I spent

0:29:29.360 --> 0:29:32.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the weekend Number seven badgering people to

0:29:32.120 --> 0:29:34.160
<v Speaker 1>come on our show. Speaking of some of the people

0:29:34.320 --> 0:29:36.080
<v Speaker 1>that we have been trying to get and haven't, I

0:29:36.160 --> 0:29:38.440
<v Speaker 1>was like, Oh, Alona mar now that we've spent a

0:29:38.480 --> 0:29:39.680
<v Speaker 1>significant amount of time.

0:29:39.480 --> 0:29:42.520
<v Speaker 2>Together, really would love to have you on the show.

0:29:43.000 --> 0:29:47.360
<v Speaker 1>And also to her agent, hey Rhanne still would really

0:29:47.360 --> 0:29:49.400
<v Speaker 1>love to have Alana on the show. So I was

0:29:49.480 --> 0:29:51.680
<v Speaker 1>very excited to get to be around some of those

0:29:51.720 --> 0:29:55.080
<v Speaker 1>people that we are very interested in having on Number six.

0:29:55.160 --> 0:29:56.240
<v Speaker 2>Women should run everything.

0:29:56.800 --> 0:29:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Rihann and Ellis, who is Flavorflame's manager, started out in sport.

0:30:00.040 --> 0:30:02.320
<v Speaker 1>It's got connected to him through Brent Feldman, who's been

0:30:02.320 --> 0:30:04.640
<v Speaker 1>an agent for women athletes for a long time, when

0:30:04.680 --> 0:30:06.080
<v Speaker 1>he was looking for someone to help out with the

0:30:06.080 --> 0:30:09.080
<v Speaker 1>water polo team. She ended up becoming Flaves manager. She's

0:30:09.120 --> 0:30:12.080
<v Speaker 1>working with Public Enemy as well. She is a Harvard

0:30:12.120 --> 0:30:15.880
<v Speaker 1>graduated frickin' badass. And I'm telling you, not only did

0:30:15.880 --> 0:30:18.240
<v Speaker 1>she pull together all of these people and sponsors and

0:30:18.280 --> 0:30:23.280
<v Speaker 1>events and spaces and flights and everything, tickets, the detail is.

0:30:23.240 --> 0:30:25.200
<v Speaker 2>Where I think women shine.

0:30:25.320 --> 0:30:28.120
<v Speaker 1>So we had this beautiful dinner, and at the dinner,

0:30:28.160 --> 0:30:30.840
<v Speaker 1>there's already a million amazing things, including we all got

0:30:30.880 --> 0:30:35.640
<v Speaker 1>custom Flavor Flave clock necklaces, these beautiful Shinola gold necklaces.

0:30:35.680 --> 0:30:37.120
<v Speaker 2>So we all got a clock to go home with.

0:30:37.600 --> 0:30:39.640
<v Speaker 2>And they're they're small, they're you know, you could actually

0:30:39.680 --> 0:30:41.240
<v Speaker 2>wear them. You're not the giant.

0:30:41.280 --> 0:30:42.960
<v Speaker 1>I did want a giant one, to be honest with you,

0:30:43.000 --> 0:30:45.000
<v Speaker 1>I wanted one of like the huge ones that takes

0:30:45.000 --> 0:30:45.640
<v Speaker 1>the girl body.

0:30:45.680 --> 0:30:47.560
<v Speaker 2>But they're very they're very subtle.

0:30:47.880 --> 0:30:50.800
<v Speaker 1>But they're walking around giving everyone these beautiful clocks. Then

0:30:51.000 --> 0:30:53.520
<v Speaker 1>after that, as if it wasn't already so special and beautiful,

0:30:53.720 --> 0:30:56.239
<v Speaker 1>they've got birthday cakes for Hillary Night and Mistigue Roe

0:30:56.320 --> 0:30:58.480
<v Speaker 1>because it was their birthday. Right around then, they've got

0:30:58.480 --> 0:31:00.920
<v Speaker 1>a special dessert for Alissa lu to celebrate her for

0:31:00.960 --> 0:31:02.880
<v Speaker 1>winning an SB award the night before.

0:31:03.160 --> 0:31:04.560
<v Speaker 2>Like, they just the detail.

0:31:05.000 --> 0:31:07.640
<v Speaker 1>And sometimes I'm like, if a man remembers your first

0:31:07.640 --> 0:31:08.680
<v Speaker 1>and last name, you're.

0:31:08.520 --> 0:31:10.280
<v Speaker 2>Like, look at you, look at you.

0:31:10.320 --> 0:31:12.880
<v Speaker 1>Really you got the details down, And a woman is like,

0:31:12.920 --> 0:31:15.320
<v Speaker 1>I remember your birthday, all of your siblings' names, your

0:31:15.360 --> 0:31:17.880
<v Speaker 1>kid's birthdays, and this is the anniversary of the first

0:31:17.880 --> 0:31:20.800
<v Speaker 1>time you kissed a boy. Like it's insane what we

0:31:20.800 --> 0:31:23.480
<v Speaker 1>can all keep in our brains at once. And she

0:31:23.720 --> 0:31:27.640
<v Speaker 1>was unbelievable running this whole thing. Number five freaking parade.

0:31:27.880 --> 0:31:30.600
<v Speaker 1>I love a parade all the time, but a double

0:31:30.640 --> 0:31:33.160
<v Speaker 1>decker bus on the strip that I'm on top of,

0:31:33.320 --> 0:31:37.760
<v Speaker 1>throwing flags with Flavorflace face on them and chanting usay

0:31:38.520 --> 0:31:41.160
<v Speaker 1>like there were signs. There were girls with signs that

0:31:41.200 --> 0:31:44.000
<v Speaker 1>said girl power. There are people with like their full

0:31:44.040 --> 0:31:47.600
<v Speaker 1>American flag gear on, like really harnessing the energy of

0:31:47.680 --> 0:31:50.160
<v Speaker 1>Vegas for good. It is a place I mostly associate

0:31:50.200 --> 0:31:53.240
<v Speaker 1>with like a lot of crazy shit, and instead it

0:31:53.400 --> 0:31:55.960
<v Speaker 1>was so wholesome to be going down the strip on

0:31:56.000 --> 0:31:57.920
<v Speaker 1>a bus with like buses in front of me. The

0:31:57.960 --> 0:32:00.479
<v Speaker 1>aces had a parade bus in it, a bunch of

0:32:01.200 --> 0:32:03.880
<v Speaker 1>musicians and dancers and all these people going down the

0:32:03.920 --> 0:32:06.360
<v Speaker 1>strip by like New York New York and the roller

0:32:06.400 --> 0:32:09.120
<v Speaker 1>coaster and all these things with little girls and their

0:32:09.160 --> 0:32:11.920
<v Speaker 1>families and little boys like cheering and getting so excited

0:32:11.960 --> 0:32:14.520
<v Speaker 1>to see all the athletes. It was just like, definitely

0:32:14.560 --> 0:32:17.320
<v Speaker 1>the most wholesome thing I've ever done in Vegas. Okay,

0:32:17.400 --> 0:32:20.080
<v Speaker 1>also at the end of the parade, the I don't

0:32:20.120 --> 0:32:23.480
<v Speaker 1>even know who he was, mayor somebody important in Vegas.

0:32:23.680 --> 0:32:29.360
<v Speaker 3>That's so funny that you say head hacks rules Las Vegas.

0:32:29.640 --> 0:32:31.880
<v Speaker 3>And so the mayor of Las Vegas is, of course

0:32:31.960 --> 0:32:32.600
<v Speaker 3>Mayor Joe.

0:32:33.760 --> 0:32:35.520
<v Speaker 1>And you know what, I just looked it up. The

0:32:35.520 --> 0:32:37.960
<v Speaker 1>Mayor of Vegas is a woman, Shelley Berkeley. So this

0:32:38.160 --> 0:32:40.320
<v Speaker 1>was not the mayor. I don't know who this show is.

0:32:40.440 --> 0:32:43.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry to that man. This weekend wasn't about you. Then, okay,

0:32:43.960 --> 0:32:46.320
<v Speaker 1>so I didn't learn your name. But he was cool,

0:32:46.520 --> 0:32:48.480
<v Speaker 1>and he got up there and he gave everybody a

0:32:48.560 --> 0:32:51.040
<v Speaker 1>key to the city, and he announced, like this is

0:32:51.080 --> 0:32:52.600
<v Speaker 1>better than the White House. Who wants to be at

0:32:52.600 --> 0:32:54.600
<v Speaker 1>the White House? You're in Vegas. Vegas is the best.

0:32:54.600 --> 0:32:56.240
<v Speaker 1>This is awesome. And then he said in the best

0:32:56.240 --> 0:32:58.200
<v Speaker 1>part about getting a key to the city is it's

0:32:58.200 --> 0:32:59.960
<v Speaker 1>a get out of jail free card, so you could

0:33:00.040 --> 0:33:02.040
<v Speaker 1>get arrested for anything tonight, and we got you.

0:33:02.120 --> 0:33:03.480
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, this man rules.

0:33:03.920 --> 0:33:07.240
<v Speaker 1>And he gave every athlete a key and gave Flave

0:33:07.360 --> 0:33:10.680
<v Speaker 1>this huge giant key and a proclamation to the city,

0:33:10.880 --> 0:33:12.360
<v Speaker 1>and he even made the joke and He's like, and

0:33:12.400 --> 0:33:14.040
<v Speaker 1>of course this is a weekend all about the women.

0:33:14.120 --> 0:33:16.520
<v Speaker 1>So we're giving the man the proclamation and the biggest key,

0:33:16.680 --> 0:33:19.520
<v Speaker 1>what are we doing? Like this guy ruled. But anyway,

0:33:19.600 --> 0:33:21.920
<v Speaker 1>so that was super awesome, and then Public Enemy performed,

0:33:21.960 --> 0:33:25.959
<v Speaker 1>and after that we went to this club thing in

0:33:26.000 --> 0:33:29.080
<v Speaker 1>the park MGM called on the record and all the

0:33:29.080 --> 0:33:32.240
<v Speaker 1>athletes were partying and Flave performed with Montel Jordan and

0:33:32.280 --> 0:33:35.360
<v Speaker 1>he had this like violinist lady. But what was cool

0:33:35.400 --> 0:33:38.640
<v Speaker 1>about that event was my buddies from the San Francisco

0:33:38.720 --> 0:33:41.040
<v Speaker 1>Signal and seventy two and Sonny had gotten a table there,

0:33:41.240 --> 0:33:44.760
<v Speaker 1>and I learned that my new business partners could fucking party.

0:33:45.160 --> 0:33:47.920
<v Speaker 1>And I love to find out that people I'm endeavoring

0:33:48.240 --> 0:33:51.479
<v Speaker 1>on a massive thing with are fun as hell. Holly

0:33:51.560 --> 0:33:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Row and one of the co founders of seventy two

0:33:54.000 --> 0:33:56.080
<v Speaker 1>and Sunny Glenn had a dance off, and Holly Row

0:33:56.160 --> 0:33:59.920
<v Speaker 1>was busting out the freakin' Roger Rabbit, the stanky leg

0:34:00.440 --> 0:34:03.640
<v Speaker 1>like she's got moved for days. They're like, we were

0:34:03.720 --> 0:34:06.960
<v Speaker 1>out late. We were all singing along to every word

0:34:07.040 --> 0:34:09.040
<v Speaker 1>of Montel Jordan and all the covers he was doing,

0:34:09.120 --> 0:34:11.040
<v Speaker 1>and I was just like, these are the people that

0:34:11.080 --> 0:34:13.160
<v Speaker 1>I want to work with. And then bright and early

0:34:13.239 --> 0:34:16.480
<v Speaker 1>next morning, everyone has insane party voice and we are

0:34:16.560 --> 0:34:19.640
<v Speaker 1>dressed and ready for the panels presenting on all these.

0:34:19.520 --> 0:34:21.680
<v Speaker 2>Important, meaningful, smart things, and I was like, this is

0:34:21.719 --> 0:34:23.839
<v Speaker 2>my these are my people, Sarah.

0:34:23.840 --> 0:34:26.719
<v Speaker 3>I'm laughing at this because I'm like thinking about two

0:34:26.760 --> 0:34:29.839
<v Speaker 3>years ago when we started this podcast together, and you're

0:34:29.840 --> 0:34:32.040
<v Speaker 3>looking at me being like, I can party with Alex.

0:34:32.080 --> 0:34:34.520
<v Speaker 3>It's probably not a thought that ever crossed your head

0:34:34.560 --> 0:34:37.479
<v Speaker 3>and not something I'm great at. And you know we've

0:34:37.520 --> 0:34:38.160
<v Speaker 3>made it work.

0:34:38.239 --> 0:34:41.319
<v Speaker 1>We made it work in Italy where every night I

0:34:41.400 --> 0:34:42.160
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh, that.

0:34:42.080 --> 0:34:43.280
<v Speaker 2>Place looks so fun.

0:34:43.640 --> 0:34:46.279
<v Speaker 1>Look at that bar overflowing into the street with people

0:34:46.320 --> 0:34:49.680
<v Speaker 1>from every country, and you're like we should, we should

0:34:49.680 --> 0:34:51.239
<v Speaker 1>get on the bus and we should get to bed.

0:34:51.280 --> 0:34:52.239
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, okay, you're right.

0:34:53.040 --> 0:34:54.759
<v Speaker 1>My friends were like, you didn't party at all, you

0:34:54.760 --> 0:34:57.799
<v Speaker 1>didn't go to and I'm like, no, I didn't have

0:34:57.840 --> 0:34:59.320
<v Speaker 1>a role, I didn't have a rolldog.

0:35:00.080 --> 0:35:03.040
<v Speaker 2>But you're great at many things, Alex. Thank you.

0:35:03.520 --> 0:35:07.040
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I wouldn't say partying, but maybe we'll change that.

0:35:07.160 --> 0:35:11.960
<v Speaker 1>During WNBA All Star weekend, sounds like we've got a

0:35:12.040 --> 0:35:14.640
<v Speaker 1>job on our hands, Yank, I'll be the party producer.

0:35:15.520 --> 0:35:19.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh, we already partied together. I already know you. Don't worry, Alex.

0:35:19.880 --> 0:35:20.959
<v Speaker 2>We all take that crown.

0:35:21.680 --> 0:35:24.560
<v Speaker 3>We all be there with my loop headphones making sure

0:35:24.600 --> 0:35:28.120
<v Speaker 3>that the decibel level hitting my ears doesn't get too high.

0:35:28.200 --> 0:35:30.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I do wear I do wear earbuds.

0:35:30.880 --> 0:35:33.440
<v Speaker 3>Were audio producers. We have to protect our hearing.

0:35:34.280 --> 0:35:35.800
<v Speaker 2>It's very smart, very smart.

0:35:35.800 --> 0:35:37.760
<v Speaker 1>And I did actually think about you once or twice Alex,

0:35:37.800 --> 0:35:39.760
<v Speaker 1>that if you had been there, you would have been like, what.

0:35:39.560 --> 0:35:42.640
<v Speaker 2>The Sarah, This is how I do my best work.

0:35:42.719 --> 0:35:43.200
<v Speaker 2>Let me cook.

0:35:43.320 --> 0:35:46.799
<v Speaker 1>So, speaking of cooking, number four was spending time with

0:35:46.880 --> 0:35:48.640
<v Speaker 1>all these athletes that we got to cover in Italy

0:35:48.719 --> 0:35:50.640
<v Speaker 1>and getting to know folks that I already kind of

0:35:50.719 --> 0:35:52.759
<v Speaker 1>knew a little bit and liked, like Hillary Knight and

0:35:52.800 --> 0:35:55.560
<v Speaker 1>Britney Bowen Amy Purty. That was super fun to spend

0:35:55.719 --> 0:35:57.799
<v Speaker 1>more just like chill, relaxed time where I wasn't in

0:35:57.800 --> 0:36:00.319
<v Speaker 1>the middle of an interview or trying to get something

0:36:00.320 --> 0:36:04.080
<v Speaker 1>from them or them from me, but also so many

0:36:04.120 --> 0:36:07.759
<v Speaker 1>new favorites, like just really getting to sit down and

0:36:07.840 --> 0:36:09.440
<v Speaker 1>learn about who these people are.

0:36:09.320 --> 0:36:10.120
<v Speaker 2>And loving them.

0:36:10.200 --> 0:36:12.759
<v Speaker 1>Danny Aravich we've had in the show, Brenda Hakabi, who

0:36:12.800 --> 0:36:14.280
<v Speaker 1>were supposed to have on the show and then didn't.

0:36:14.280 --> 0:36:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Who I'm not obsessed with, Kate Delson who we had

0:36:16.560 --> 0:36:20.279
<v Speaker 1>on the show. Evan Bates and Madison Chalk both so nice.

0:36:20.320 --> 0:36:22.399
<v Speaker 1>We'd had Madison but not Evan, and I love talking

0:36:22.400 --> 0:36:24.200
<v Speaker 1>to Evan. We were talking about music and Noah Khan

0:36:24.320 --> 0:36:27.560
<v Speaker 1>and all these different things. Danny O'Shea who Alex You

0:36:27.600 --> 0:36:29.680
<v Speaker 1>and I talked at the Olympics about how his smile

0:36:29.719 --> 0:36:33.319
<v Speaker 1>could like cure world hunger. Actually hang out with him

0:36:33.360 --> 0:36:36.920
<v Speaker 1>in person human Frickin' Golden Retriever.

0:36:37.400 --> 0:36:39.799
<v Speaker 3>Was his smile the same when you see him there.

0:36:39.560 --> 0:36:44.040
<v Speaker 1>More beaming in person, like right in front of your face, dancing,

0:36:44.440 --> 0:36:47.399
<v Speaker 1>singing along to everything, bringing everyone together, like just such

0:36:47.400 --> 0:36:48.240
<v Speaker 1>a joyful person.

0:36:48.560 --> 0:36:50.760
<v Speaker 2>Kelly Curtis and her sister Kitty. It was so funny

0:36:50.800 --> 0:36:51.200
<v Speaker 2>last night.

0:36:51.200 --> 0:36:54.440
<v Speaker 1>At like one point thirty in the morning, we were

0:36:54.440 --> 0:36:56.759
<v Speaker 1>with another person from the Bob Sled Skeleton crew and

0:36:57.239 --> 0:36:59.680
<v Speaker 1>he goes, wait, when did you guys meet And we

0:36:59.680 --> 0:37:02.400
<v Speaker 1>were like yesterday. He's like, oh, this whole night, I

0:37:02.440 --> 0:37:04.120
<v Speaker 1>thought you guys had known each other for years.

0:37:04.280 --> 0:37:06.040
<v Speaker 2>You've been acting like best friends and I'm.

0:37:05.880 --> 0:37:08.040
<v Speaker 3>Like, we are a great compliment.

0:37:08.320 --> 0:37:10.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we just like hit it off so much that

0:37:10.080 --> 0:37:12.479
<v Speaker 1>everybody thought we'd known each other forever. But Kelly and Kitty,

0:37:12.560 --> 0:37:16.120
<v Speaker 1>those are my rolldogs. Boone Niederhoffer and Nick Tucker.

0:37:16.239 --> 0:37:17.680
<v Speaker 2>Dudes, awesome dudes.

0:37:18.080 --> 0:37:20.440
<v Speaker 1>I really enjoyed the dudes that were invited by virtue

0:37:20.480 --> 0:37:23.359
<v Speaker 1>of being on Flave's bob sled skeleton team and then

0:37:23.520 --> 0:37:26.279
<v Speaker 1>really engaging with and being interested in all the things

0:37:26.320 --> 0:37:28.520
<v Speaker 1>going on for the women over the weekend and listening

0:37:28.560 --> 0:37:30.279
<v Speaker 1>and being thoughtful, and it was really cool to.

0:37:30.239 --> 0:37:31.719
<v Speaker 2>See and the athletes said that.

0:37:31.719 --> 0:37:33.960
<v Speaker 1>The athlete said, we really love this opportunity to hang

0:37:33.960 --> 0:37:36.600
<v Speaker 1>out with people from other events. The only time we

0:37:36.640 --> 0:37:39.000
<v Speaker 1>really cross over usually as the Olympics and we're stressed

0:37:39.040 --> 0:37:42.080
<v Speaker 1>and we're leaving or coming. And they really are hoping

0:37:42.120 --> 0:37:45.240
<v Speaker 1>that this happens more often because they loved having shared

0:37:45.280 --> 0:37:48.080
<v Speaker 1>experiences potentially starting like a WhatsApp or a group where

0:37:48.120 --> 0:37:49.839
<v Speaker 1>they can all talk to each other about how they

0:37:49.840 --> 0:37:52.200
<v Speaker 1>handle things like getting jobs in the off season or

0:37:52.239 --> 0:37:55.240
<v Speaker 1>insurance or retiring or you know, what the next steps

0:37:55.239 --> 0:37:56.160
<v Speaker 1>are in their careers.

0:37:56.200 --> 0:37:57.680
<v Speaker 2>So that part was really cool.

0:37:57.760 --> 0:38:01.120
<v Speaker 1>Okay, number three, the big Friday Night, which was like

0:38:01.160 --> 0:38:04.000
<v Speaker 1>a full day of amazing things leading into a happy

0:38:04.000 --> 0:38:06.440
<v Speaker 1>hour and then a beautiful dinner and then the Backstreet

0:38:06.440 --> 0:38:11.840
<v Speaker 1>Boys experience, where we got to go backstage before the

0:38:11.840 --> 0:38:14.320
<v Speaker 1>show started and meet all of the band members and

0:38:14.360 --> 0:38:17.200
<v Speaker 1>they were genuinely so psyched to meet all these athletes.

0:38:17.480 --> 0:38:20.000
<v Speaker 1>They were so nice, they were so enthusiastic about us

0:38:20.040 --> 0:38:22.080
<v Speaker 1>being there. We had to take photos. Like one of

0:38:22.080 --> 0:38:25.040
<v Speaker 1>the athletes brought at old vhs of the Backstreet Boys

0:38:25.040 --> 0:38:27.279
<v Speaker 1>that was like her prize possession, had them all sign it.

0:38:27.719 --> 0:38:30.200
<v Speaker 1>So this was actually the twenty five year anniversary of

0:38:30.239 --> 0:38:33.880
<v Speaker 1>their big blow up first album, Millennium, and so a

0:38:33.920 --> 0:38:37.320
<v Speaker 1>lot of these athletes, if they're about, you know, twenty

0:38:37.360 --> 0:38:39.799
<v Speaker 1>five to thirty five, it was kind of that young

0:38:39.840 --> 0:38:41.880
<v Speaker 1>age where whatever's on the radio you're just listening to

0:38:41.960 --> 0:38:46.439
<v Speaker 1>over and over again, and so it was so fun

0:38:46.440 --> 0:38:48.600
<v Speaker 1>to see which ones were really like losing their minds

0:38:48.600 --> 0:38:49.799
<v Speaker 1>about it and which ones were like, I don't really

0:38:49.840 --> 0:38:50.239
<v Speaker 1>know who these.

0:38:50.200 --> 0:38:51.200
<v Speaker 2>Guys are, but this is fun.

0:38:51.600 --> 0:38:54.360
<v Speaker 1>Alyssa Loo, for instance, like probably had no clue, but

0:38:54.440 --> 0:38:56.399
<v Speaker 1>she was really interested in the fits that they had

0:38:56.400 --> 0:38:58.080
<v Speaker 1>for the show, and she was taking pictures of all

0:38:58.120 --> 0:39:02.040
<v Speaker 1>of their weird moon boots not looking outfits, so that

0:39:02.200 --> 0:39:05.160
<v Speaker 1>was really fun. But also during the show, first of all,

0:39:05.200 --> 0:39:08.720
<v Speaker 1>this fear is out of control. It is so unbelievably cool.

0:39:09.120 --> 0:39:12.359
<v Speaker 1>But it's massive. Okay, so there's this huge crowd there.

0:39:12.400 --> 0:39:14.239
<v Speaker 1>Everyone is wearing all white except for me because I

0:39:14.239 --> 0:39:16.160
<v Speaker 1>missed the memo and I didn't realize that you're supposed

0:39:16.200 --> 0:39:18.520
<v Speaker 1>to wear all white to this show, and everybody else

0:39:18.560 --> 0:39:19.560
<v Speaker 1>was wearing it and I was wearing black.

0:39:19.960 --> 0:39:23.680
<v Speaker 2>And everyone's in there all white. They're wearing every piece

0:39:23.719 --> 0:39:25.439
<v Speaker 2>of Backstreet Boys lore.

0:39:25.600 --> 0:39:28.120
<v Speaker 1>They're all obsessed, they're crying, they're calling them by name,

0:39:28.200 --> 0:39:29.840
<v Speaker 1>And in the middle of this mess of people that

0:39:29.880 --> 0:39:31.920
<v Speaker 1>are so excited to be there, they take a moment

0:39:32.040 --> 0:39:34.680
<v Speaker 1>during the show bring out an American flag and specifically

0:39:34.719 --> 0:39:37.400
<v Speaker 1>shout out our crew and have the whole crowd go

0:39:37.480 --> 0:39:40.879
<v Speaker 1>crazy for the Team USA athletes and like, for whether

0:39:40.960 --> 0:39:43.200
<v Speaker 1>or not you're into Backstreet Boys, they are a massive,

0:39:43.440 --> 0:39:46.959
<v Speaker 1>massive phenomenon and a massive, massive group and.

0:39:46.920 --> 0:39:49.600
<v Speaker 2>For them to be thoughtful about doing that for us

0:39:49.800 --> 0:39:50.640
<v Speaker 2>was really cool.

0:39:50.680 --> 0:39:52.360
<v Speaker 1>And shout out to Rann and be causeh she like

0:39:52.400 --> 0:39:54.000
<v Speaker 1>grew up knowing how we and that was one of

0:39:54.040 --> 0:39:56.839
<v Speaker 1>the reasons that this all worked out and they helped us,

0:39:56.960 --> 0:39:58.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, make this amazing, amazing night.

0:39:58.560 --> 0:39:59.680
<v Speaker 2>But that was very special.

0:40:00.040 --> 0:40:02.359
<v Speaker 1>And now all of my dms are people who find

0:40:02.440 --> 0:40:05.319
<v Speaker 1>Backstreet Boys content on Insta and then them asking me,

0:40:05.440 --> 0:40:07.200
<v Speaker 1>how did you get to meet them? Why do you

0:40:07.280 --> 0:40:09.520
<v Speaker 1>know them? How do I get this? Can you tell

0:40:09.560 --> 0:40:11.640
<v Speaker 1>Howie this? Can you make sure AJ knows I named

0:40:11.640 --> 0:40:13.160
<v Speaker 1>a star after him? And how do I get him

0:40:13.160 --> 0:40:16.799
<v Speaker 1>the certificate? Like my whole insta is. People like that

0:40:16.880 --> 0:40:19.160
<v Speaker 1>now think I've got the plumb here, which, by the way,

0:40:19.200 --> 0:40:20.959
<v Speaker 1>I do, because I end up spending an hour talking

0:40:21.000 --> 0:40:25.600
<v Speaker 1>to the Backstreet Boys bodyguard's wife, so I know everything.

0:40:26.160 --> 0:40:29.600
<v Speaker 3>That sentence got less impressive as I didn't.

0:40:29.360 --> 0:40:31.239
<v Speaker 2>Know where it was going. You know what, though, those

0:40:31.239 --> 0:40:32.960
<v Speaker 2>are the people who know how to get shit done.

0:40:33.000 --> 0:40:33.799
<v Speaker 3>That's true. That's true.

0:40:33.840 --> 0:40:36.760
<v Speaker 2>Don't underestimate them. Oh my god, and I almost forgot.

0:40:36.800 --> 0:40:39.239
<v Speaker 1>Of course, the shout out from the Backstreet Boys mid

0:40:39.239 --> 0:40:41.920
<v Speaker 1>concert was the best part. But the second best part,

0:40:42.040 --> 0:40:44.719
<v Speaker 1>obviously was the fact that there started to be a

0:40:44.719 --> 0:40:47.160
<v Speaker 1>little dance circle in our area. We were in this

0:40:47.440 --> 0:40:51.279
<v Speaker 1>kind of separate VIP viewing area, and as the dance

0:40:51.280 --> 0:40:53.719
<v Speaker 1>circle started, I'm thinking to myself, like, there's a bunch

0:40:53.800 --> 0:40:55.880
<v Speaker 1>of young, spry Olympians.

0:40:56.160 --> 0:40:57.319
<v Speaker 2>Don't get in there.

0:40:57.400 --> 0:40:59.279
<v Speaker 1>You got nothing to offer, And then I remembered I

0:40:59.280 --> 0:41:01.240
<v Speaker 1>do have something to offer for I have one party

0:41:01.280 --> 0:41:03.480
<v Speaker 1>trick and I will keep doing this party trick until

0:41:03.480 --> 0:41:07.319
<v Speaker 1>I can no longer. So I handed Danny O'Shea by beer,

0:41:07.800 --> 0:41:10.200
<v Speaker 1>just like in the memes. I literally said, hold my beer.

0:41:10.280 --> 0:41:13.239
<v Speaker 1>He held it. I dropped down into the split. Everybody

0:41:13.280 --> 0:41:15.720
<v Speaker 1>went crazy. I'll get high fives from all the hockey

0:41:15.719 --> 0:41:16.799
<v Speaker 1>players on my way up.

0:41:17.120 --> 0:41:19.319
<v Speaker 2>Kelly and Kitty Curtis were like, Oh, you're a legend.

0:41:19.320 --> 0:41:21.080
<v Speaker 2>You're a legend. People were talking about it the next day.

0:41:21.120 --> 0:41:22.200
<v Speaker 2>Well that was you with the splits.

0:41:22.560 --> 0:41:24.239
<v Speaker 1>So I just need you all to know I still

0:41:24.280 --> 0:41:29.880
<v Speaker 1>got it, Still got it, okay. Number two the panels,

0:41:30.560 --> 0:41:34.520
<v Speaker 1>This celebration that truly was an education for everybody there.

0:41:34.760 --> 0:41:38.719
<v Speaker 1>The amount of time spent talking about financial webinars and

0:41:39.120 --> 0:41:41.399
<v Speaker 1>what your next step in your career is and how

0:41:41.440 --> 0:41:44.920
<v Speaker 1>do you manage the disappointment of losing.

0:41:44.640 --> 0:41:47.320
<v Speaker 2>And the excitement of winning. It was not just a party.

0:41:47.360 --> 0:41:49.840
<v Speaker 1>The resources and the info for these athletes and the

0:41:49.920 --> 0:41:52.320
<v Speaker 1>quality and caliber of people that were on these Panels

0:41:52.480 --> 0:41:55.800
<v Speaker 1>was so impressive and intentional to me, and they really

0:41:55.840 --> 0:41:58.839
<v Speaker 1>allowed these athletes to make connections. Seventy two and Sunny

0:41:58.960 --> 0:42:02.360
<v Speaker 1>Joe Louis and Female Quotion are all creating two apprenticeships

0:42:02.400 --> 0:42:05.520
<v Speaker 1>for athletes to sign up for to work within their

0:42:05.560 --> 0:42:09.719
<v Speaker 1>company and learn the day to day Chantal president, who's

0:42:09.760 --> 0:42:13.040
<v Speaker 1>this amazing business woman who's also part of the San

0:42:13.040 --> 0:42:17.719
<v Speaker 1>Francisco's Signal, offered them all financial webinars to teach them

0:42:17.719 --> 0:42:20.399
<v Speaker 1>how to manage money and invest. Like at every turn,

0:42:20.520 --> 0:42:23.719
<v Speaker 1>people were truly genuinely like, here is all my information.

0:42:24.160 --> 0:42:25.399
<v Speaker 2>Reach out to me at any time.

0:42:25.680 --> 0:42:27.800
<v Speaker 1>You are the best of us, and you are underappreciated

0:42:27.800 --> 0:42:29.359
<v Speaker 1>and undervalued and underpaid, I.

0:42:29.280 --> 0:42:30.480
<v Speaker 2>Will do this for you for free.

0:42:30.960 --> 0:42:33.520
<v Speaker 1>And it was so amazing to see the athletes respond

0:42:33.560 --> 0:42:36.800
<v Speaker 1>to that and really feel seen and really feel understood

0:42:36.840 --> 0:42:38.799
<v Speaker 1>that they have these fears about what comes after their

0:42:38.800 --> 0:42:39.920
<v Speaker 1>career or how they get by.

0:42:40.440 --> 0:42:43.279
<v Speaker 4>I love to hear that, and I think that it's

0:42:43.280 --> 0:42:46.160
<v Speaker 4>even more impactful that this is like six months after

0:42:46.440 --> 0:42:50.359
<v Speaker 4>the Winter Olympics, because they all have this rush of

0:42:50.440 --> 0:42:54.160
<v Speaker 4>media attention right after the games, and then sometimes you

0:42:54.160 --> 0:42:56.399
<v Speaker 4>don't hear from them or you know, we don't get

0:42:56.480 --> 0:42:58.640
<v Speaker 4>to talk to them, so that for them to have

0:42:58.680 --> 0:43:02.560
<v Speaker 4>this like sustain love and appreciation is amazing.

0:43:02.760 --> 0:43:05.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think the fact that it's also happening with

0:43:05.360 --> 0:43:08.120
<v Speaker 3>all of these athletes in different sports together. I think

0:43:08.160 --> 0:43:11.200
<v Speaker 3>through women's sports history, some of the biggest gains that

0:43:11.239 --> 0:43:14.239
<v Speaker 3>we've seen have been because athletes from one sport reached

0:43:14.280 --> 0:43:17.640
<v Speaker 3>out to another sport, to another sport, And so I

0:43:17.680 --> 0:43:20.080
<v Speaker 3>would love to see kind of what happens from all

0:43:20.120 --> 0:43:22.200
<v Speaker 3>of these connections moving forward.

0:43:22.480 --> 0:43:23.399
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't agree more.

0:43:24.040 --> 0:43:27.200
<v Speaker 1>Also, you know, Breezy Johnson and almost every panel stepped

0:43:27.239 --> 0:43:29.440
<v Speaker 1>up and had a really thoughtful question and wanted to

0:43:29.520 --> 0:43:33.640
<v Speaker 1>learn about things. Brenna Huckabee and Danny Arevich like, they

0:43:33.840 --> 0:43:36.560
<v Speaker 1>remember they started their own company ahead of the Paralympics,

0:43:36.840 --> 0:43:39.480
<v Speaker 1>so to hear them like wanting to connect with these

0:43:39.520 --> 0:43:42.040
<v Speaker 1>women business women to talk to them about best practices

0:43:42.080 --> 0:43:45.680
<v Speaker 1>for the company they started. Chuck d was in the

0:43:45.760 --> 0:43:48.919
<v Speaker 1>panels and stood up to ask a question about how

0:43:48.960 --> 0:43:51.400
<v Speaker 1>female leaders can make sure that men in their companies

0:43:51.440 --> 0:43:53.839
<v Speaker 1>don't get in the way of them achieving the things

0:43:53.840 --> 0:43:56.200
<v Speaker 1>that they want to achieve, and was like sitting in

0:43:56.239 --> 0:43:59.920
<v Speaker 1>the back of panels full of women and like listening, nodding,

0:44:00.120 --> 0:44:02.319
<v Speaker 1>like very interested in like Chuck d It was so

0:44:02.840 --> 0:44:05.600
<v Speaker 1>like what a just every every part of the weekend

0:44:05.600 --> 0:44:08.759
<v Speaker 1>felt like a mad lib and yet it was so cool,

0:44:08.800 --> 0:44:09.480
<v Speaker 1>which brings me.

0:44:09.480 --> 0:44:10.279
<v Speaker 2>To the final one.

0:44:10.600 --> 0:44:14.120
<v Speaker 1>The man himself Flavor Flave, and someone slid into my

0:44:14.239 --> 0:44:16.080
<v Speaker 1>DMS and was like, I can't believe you're propping up

0:44:16.120 --> 0:44:18.439
<v Speaker 1>this man who has this history, and we talked about

0:44:18.440 --> 0:44:19.440
<v Speaker 1>it when he was on the show.

0:44:19.680 --> 0:44:21.640
<v Speaker 2>Flavor Flave has a very checkered.

0:44:21.320 --> 0:44:23.640
<v Speaker 1>Past, and he has done a lot of things, and

0:44:23.680 --> 0:44:25.520
<v Speaker 1>he has struggled with a lot of things, and he

0:44:25.640 --> 0:44:28.960
<v Speaker 1>is on the other side of drug addiction and alcohol issues.

0:44:28.960 --> 0:44:31.879
<v Speaker 1>He's sober. And you know, I don't know Flavor Flave.

0:44:31.920 --> 0:44:34.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm obviously not hanging out with him all the time.

0:44:34.120 --> 0:44:36.840
<v Speaker 1>But when he came on the show, I specifically addressed

0:44:36.880 --> 0:44:39.799
<v Speaker 1>the idea that if we want people to change and

0:44:39.840 --> 0:44:42.960
<v Speaker 1>get better, we have to let them and like, I

0:44:42.960 --> 0:44:46.480
<v Speaker 1>would never make any excuses for the domestic violence issues

0:44:46.520 --> 0:44:49.120
<v Speaker 1>that he has in his past, or any of the

0:44:49.680 --> 0:44:53.800
<v Speaker 1>violence or crimes or actions that have negatively impacted others.

0:44:54.280 --> 0:44:57.120
<v Speaker 1>All I can speak to is what he has said

0:44:57.280 --> 0:44:59.799
<v Speaker 1>repeatedly over the last years and years and years about

0:44:59.800 --> 0:45:02.319
<v Speaker 1>t to be a better person in changing himself and

0:45:02.400 --> 0:45:04.360
<v Speaker 1>the person that I see in what he's doing now,

0:45:04.880 --> 0:45:08.719
<v Speaker 1>and I want to believe that people can change and

0:45:08.760 --> 0:45:13.719
<v Speaker 1>get better, and so far he's showing that he's someone

0:45:13.760 --> 0:45:16.640
<v Speaker 1>who's trying to do that. He is so dedicated to

0:45:16.800 --> 0:45:19.839
<v Speaker 1>doing good with the influence and the power he has,

0:45:19.880 --> 0:45:23.120
<v Speaker 1>and he cried multiple times throughout the weekend when he

0:45:23.200 --> 0:45:25.040
<v Speaker 1>was being acknowledged by people for the work that he

0:45:25.040 --> 0:45:27.360
<v Speaker 1>had done, when he was being thanked by athletes for

0:45:27.480 --> 0:45:29.920
<v Speaker 1>like the things he showed up for, and you can

0:45:29.960 --> 0:45:32.480
<v Speaker 1>tell he really just wants to use his influence for

0:45:32.520 --> 0:45:35.200
<v Speaker 1>good and at this point in his life, he really

0:45:35.239 --> 0:45:37.680
<v Speaker 1>cares about all of these athletes. And when he was

0:45:37.719 --> 0:45:39.960
<v Speaker 1>told about who they were and how they weren't recognized,

0:45:40.160 --> 0:45:43.680
<v Speaker 1>he stepped in sight unseen, didn't know them. I'm in

0:45:43.880 --> 0:45:45.440
<v Speaker 1>I'll start you a GoFundMe tomorrow.

0:45:45.680 --> 0:45:47.600
<v Speaker 2>Right. That's what he did for Bob's led.

0:45:47.680 --> 0:45:50.239
<v Speaker 1>When the first call came in from Maggie Stephens and

0:45:50.280 --> 0:45:52.960
<v Speaker 1>someone said, hey, Bran Feldman said, five or ten thousand

0:45:52.960 --> 0:45:55.120
<v Speaker 1>dollars will literally change her life. It'll help her get

0:45:55.120 --> 0:45:57.520
<v Speaker 1>her family to come see her. The very next day

0:45:57.600 --> 0:45:59.520
<v Speaker 1>he said, I'm not just doing it for her though,

0:45:59.520 --> 0:46:01.000
<v Speaker 1>I got to do for the whole team if I'm

0:46:01.000 --> 0:46:01.640
<v Speaker 1>going to help her.

0:46:02.320 --> 0:46:03.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you saw about Paris Hilton.

0:46:04.000 --> 0:46:06.840
<v Speaker 1>He reached out to Paris Hilton and was like, Hey, Paris,

0:46:06.880 --> 0:46:08.600
<v Speaker 1>I need some more hotel rooms and I need some

0:46:08.680 --> 0:46:10.839
<v Speaker 1>more points, and she was like, I used to play

0:46:10.840 --> 0:46:14.320
<v Speaker 1>hockey growing up. I love watching USA hockey. Here's tons

0:46:14.320 --> 0:46:16.680
<v Speaker 1>of my Hilton points and you can use them for

0:46:16.719 --> 0:46:19.839
<v Speaker 1>all these athletes and people show up for Flavor Flave

0:46:20.000 --> 0:46:22.759
<v Speaker 1>like that left and right. And the fact that he

0:46:22.840 --> 0:46:25.680
<v Speaker 1>knows that and then uses it for this was so

0:46:25.840 --> 0:46:28.759
<v Speaker 1>emotional because I'm looking around and Brent Felban and I

0:46:28.760 --> 0:46:30.680
<v Speaker 1>actually talked about this, like what is standing in the

0:46:30.680 --> 0:46:33.640
<v Speaker 1>way of this happening and being the norm. It's people

0:46:33.680 --> 0:46:36.120
<v Speaker 1>who don't give a shit. It's men who are used

0:46:36.120 --> 0:46:39.440
<v Speaker 1>to caring about serving other men. It's brands and places

0:46:39.440 --> 0:46:41.959
<v Speaker 1>that have outdated heuristics about women's sports and the value

0:46:41.960 --> 0:46:44.600
<v Speaker 1>of women's sports and women's athletes. It's people who don't

0:46:44.600 --> 0:46:46.880
<v Speaker 1>know the current data about the value of women athletes

0:46:46.920 --> 0:46:49.680
<v Speaker 1>for your sponsorships and for everything you do. It's fans

0:46:49.680 --> 0:46:52.080
<v Speaker 1>who are stuck just idolizing men because that's what they've

0:46:52.080 --> 0:46:54.800
<v Speaker 1>been told their whole lives matters and has value, or

0:46:54.840 --> 0:46:58.319
<v Speaker 1>maybe they're just brainwashed to not see that women can

0:46:58.360 --> 0:47:01.120
<v Speaker 1>be incredible and exciting and fascinating and interesting and powerful.

0:47:01.719 --> 0:47:03.280
<v Speaker 2>But I was like flavor.

0:47:03.280 --> 0:47:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Flavor literally just sent out a tweet like four or

0:47:06.360 --> 0:47:09.880
<v Speaker 1>five months ago, and now this is happening. Imagine what

0:47:09.960 --> 0:47:12.799
<v Speaker 1>some of these massive companies and brands could do if

0:47:12.840 --> 0:47:15.360
<v Speaker 1>they gave a shit. And it made me both really

0:47:15.440 --> 0:47:18.080
<v Speaker 1>inspired by this case study and how easy it will

0:47:18.080 --> 0:47:20.399
<v Speaker 1>be to replicate things like that and do this again

0:47:20.440 --> 0:47:22.080
<v Speaker 1>in the future without it being such a lift for

0:47:22.120 --> 0:47:24.080
<v Speaker 1>everyone that did it, because that's what they want to do,

0:47:24.120 --> 0:47:26.279
<v Speaker 1>they want to repeat it, And also just kind of

0:47:26.320 --> 0:47:29.200
<v Speaker 1>angry that you can see what gets done when people

0:47:29.239 --> 0:47:31.879
<v Speaker 1>care and when they want to do something, and how

0:47:31.920 --> 0:47:34.280
<v Speaker 1>simple it is for some of these brands to activate

0:47:34.320 --> 0:47:36.680
<v Speaker 1>and crush it if they are given the opportunity to

0:47:36.760 --> 0:47:39.640
<v Speaker 1>know who they're showing up for. Evan Shutt, who was

0:47:39.680 --> 0:47:41.279
<v Speaker 1>on our show who's one of the co founders of

0:47:41.320 --> 0:47:44.200
<v Speaker 1>seventy two and Sonny said, and we all really agreed,

0:47:44.239 --> 0:47:46.000
<v Speaker 1>like I think one day we're going to look back

0:47:46.040 --> 0:47:48.960
<v Speaker 1>and say wow, like we were there for the first

0:47:49.040 --> 0:47:51.359
<v Speaker 1>she weekend, Like there's a belief that this is going

0:47:51.440 --> 0:47:54.760
<v Speaker 1>to become something bigger and keep going and bringing athletes

0:47:54.800 --> 0:47:57.960
<v Speaker 1>together in the future. And man, I mean I was

0:47:58.000 --> 0:48:00.160
<v Speaker 1>excited for it as a party and a chance to

0:48:00.160 --> 0:48:01.880
<v Speaker 1>get to meet and spend time with all these athletes

0:48:01.920 --> 0:48:04.960
<v Speaker 1>and make relationships for our show and for life. And

0:48:05.719 --> 0:48:08.919
<v Speaker 1>I came back being like Rhiann and Ellis can plan

0:48:09.040 --> 0:48:11.759

<v Speaker 1>out of one correct Priorities review. After Gotham's win over

0:50:08.800 --> 0:50:11.800
<v Speaker 1>the Seattle Rain on Saturday, coach Juan Carlos Amorros announced

0:50:11.800 --> 0:50:14.600
<v Speaker 1>that he'll be taking paternity leave and stepping away from

0:50:14.600 --> 0:50:17.279
<v Speaker 1>the team for the next five weeks. Ameros and his

0:50:17.320 --> 0:50:20.680
<v Speaker 1>wife welcome their second child in May, and in announcing

0:50:20.680 --> 0:50:22.800
<v Speaker 1>his decision, he said he understands he can play a

0:50:22.920 --> 0:50:26.600
<v Speaker 1>role in normalizing paternity leave, saying quote, when fathers take

0:50:26.640 --> 0:50:30.920
<v Speaker 1>parental leave, particularly men in leadership positions, it helps normalize

0:50:30.920 --> 0:50:34.800
<v Speaker 1>an important principle. Caring for children is a shared responsibility

0:50:34.800 --> 0:50:37.560
<v Speaker 1>between parents. I need to be there for my family

0:50:38.040 --> 0:50:41.439
