Speaker 1: happy couple. Okay, Slices. The W schedules have arrived, and
Speaker 1: so has the W as a league. This year's team
Speaker 1: schedule release bids are so legit. This is how we
Speaker 1: know that the W has caught up to the rest
Speaker 1: of professional sports. Yes, there are a couple duds in
Speaker 1: the mix, but the squads seriously stepped up their game, creativity,
Speaker 1: originality and so much shade. We love shit talking of
Speaker 1: women's sports. Love it to be funny, to be spicy,
Speaker 1: to stoke the rivalries. We are so here for it,
Speaker 1: and there were a couple particularly good ones Chicago Sky,
Speaker 1: New York Liberty and Minnesota Lynx VIDs. You definitely need
Speaker 1: to watch. The Sky basically roast their opponents using the
Speaker 1: suspect videos that are currently trending. The Liberty have Ellie
Speaker 1: taking a lie detector test and the Lynx video is
Speaker 1: a play on Spotify rapped VIDs and they take some
Speaker 1: serious shots at opponents. They recommend Sabrina Carpenters, please please
Speaker 1: please for the last place Wings, you know, like, don't
Speaker 1: embarrass me mother. They also recommend that you might like
Speaker 1: Robbery by Juice World or Stolen by Chris Brown and
Speaker 1: Young Thug for the team that beat him for the title.
Speaker 1: The Liberty Damn also shout out Atlanta for the cookout
Speaker 1: vid and the Wings for the video with food critic
Speaker 1: Keith Lee. Those are pretty good too. All Right, we
Speaker 1: got to take a quick break. When we come back,
Speaker 1: we get Frosty with Kelly Panic. She and I chatted
Speaker 1: just before the start of the PWHL season this past weekend.
Speaker 1: That interview is coming up next. She's a forward for
Speaker 1: the Minnesota frost of the PWHL, A Patty Casmier Award
Speaker 1: finalist in twenty seventeen while at University of Minnesota after
Speaker 1: scoring sixty two points in thirty nine games in winning
Speaker 1: the national championship for the second year in a row.
Speaker 1: A gold medalist in the twenty eighteen Olympics and silver
Speaker 1: medalist in the twenty twenty two Games, She's a three
Speaker 1: time world champion and a three time World champion runner up.
Speaker 1: She once hit a hole in one, and she's got
Speaker 1: her own beer. It's Kelly Panic. What's up?
Speaker 2: Kelly? Not a whole lot?
Speaker 3: That introduction makes me feel like sound a lot more
Speaker 3: exciting than I think I might be on a day
Speaker 3: to day basis.
Speaker 1: I mean, pressure's on, yeh on for you to be exciting.
Speaker 1: We're going to get to your beer because this is
Speaker 1: the news of the day and the name is so good.
Speaker 1: But let's start with hockey. Season one of the PWHL
Speaker 1: was such a success, record breaking attendance, unprecedented support from fans.
Speaker 1: What are you hoping to see from the league in
Speaker 1: season two?
Speaker 2: I think just more of the same.
Speaker 3: I think for so many people, from players to also
Speaker 3: like the people who are running the league, the owners,
Speaker 3: A lot of people in management that do a lot
Speaker 3: of the business stuff that we don't see as players
Speaker 3: on day to day basis. We all kind of know
Speaker 3: more what to expect. So Year one was great in
Speaker 3: so many ways. And I've I've heard some people talk
Speaker 3: about like, now it's going to be I think really
Speaker 3: about the hockey and continue.
Speaker 2: To progress that forward.
Speaker 3: And we've always known that the product that we can
Speaker 3: put on the ice is high quality and exciting for
Speaker 3: people to watch, and now it's just kind of continuing
Speaker 3: to build that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the cool thing about new leagues is there's such
Speaker 1: excitement when they arrive, which helps, and then you worry
Speaker 1: about maybe a sophomore slump or the novelty of it
Speaker 1: all going away. But it's actually those extra years that
Speaker 1: give nostalgia, tradition, statistics, rivalries, Like there's so much in
Speaker 1: sport that gets added on as you add to something
Speaker 1: that's new, like the PWHL, So you really have the
Speaker 1: opportunity as some of the first players to create that
Speaker 1: early lore about teams and about rivalries and everything else.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and exactly that with like brivalries specifically, so many
Speaker 3: of us know people on other teams. There's only six
Speaker 3: teams there's not that many players in the league yet,
Speaker 3: So for one, it's really hard to make rosters, and
Speaker 3: then for the second piece of it, once you're on
Speaker 3: the roster, like you're fighting to keep your spot, and
Speaker 3: then knowing other people on other teams, it's fun to
Speaker 3: have those different dynamics.
Speaker 2: And I feel like it's this year as well. You're
Speaker 2: going to see more.
Speaker 3: Of what type of team each team is, what style
Speaker 3: they play, and it's just going to keep fostering into that.
Speaker 3: And people know that, you know, when they played in
Speaker 3: Minnesota Frost, they play a certain team. I'm not going
Speaker 3: to give them all their secrets, but they know they
Speaker 3: kind of you know more what to expect playing each team.
Speaker 3: So it'll be fun to see how that continues to build.
Speaker 1: You mentioned the players knowing each other. One of the
Speaker 1: best rivalries in all of sport is USA Canada Hockey
Speaker 1: and y'all are teammates. Now, how is that going back
Speaker 1: and forth between playing some of the international games, prepping
Speaker 1: for Olympics and World Championships with your home team, and
Speaker 1: then going and suiting up alongside those same people you
Speaker 1: just wanted to destroy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, last year we added Sophie Jake's to our roster
Speaker 3: the first ever trade, so she had a little bit
Speaker 3: of international experience, and then this year with Claire Thompson,
Speaker 3: she's really like the first that I've played with that
Speaker 3: was like that's been on the national team and you know,
Speaker 3: she was at the twenty two Olympics and her Olympic
Speaker 3: experience was we had some similarities, but then obviously in
Speaker 3: that goal medal game, it was very different.
Speaker 2: So yeah, the rivalry is still pretty heated.
Speaker 3: I think that that the root of the rivalry which
Speaker 3: has always made it so great is the respect that's there,
Speaker 3: and I think ultimately both of our federations are trying
Speaker 3: to progress this game and push it not just in
Speaker 3: our own countries but across the world as well. So
Speaker 3: that's at the root of it, which makes it really
Speaker 3: easy once we step on that ice as opponents to
Speaker 3: you know, get into that mindset, and then it makes
Speaker 3: it also really easy when your teammates to kind of
Speaker 3: put that other hat away and be working now on
Speaker 3: this goal together as teammates.
Speaker 1: What are your personal goals for season two?
Speaker 2: Personally?
Speaker 3: I think I think a lot of people doubted our
Speaker 3: team going into last season. I think a lot of
Speaker 3: people doubted our team at the end of last season
Speaker 3: when we were on a I think it was five
Speaker 3: regular season games slump that made its way into seven
Speaker 3: losing games streak into the playoffs, and I think a
Speaker 3: lot of people might look at our team's like wins
Speaker 3: and our success and winning the Walter Cup is kind of.
Speaker 2: A fluke in some ways. So I think we still
Speaker 2: have a lot to prove.
Speaker 3: Because we can because I think I think we actually
Speaker 3: are that team that the norm was how good we
Speaker 3: were to start the season, and so I think for
Speaker 3: us it's just kind of going to we continue to
Speaker 3: build on that. And as far as goals, I think
Speaker 3: you just got to take it one step at a time.
Speaker 2: Like I said, with only six teams in.
Speaker 3: This league, the expectation is to make playoffs, and the
Speaker 3: expectation is to give ourselves a chance to win in
Speaker 3: the end as well.
Speaker 1: A lot of fans were surprised to see after you
Speaker 1: did win the Cup the Frost parting ways with their GM.
Speaker 1: How does the team rally around last year's success but
Speaker 1: also figure out how to move forward with that turbulent offseason,
Speaker 1: because it's not a straight line from the team that
Speaker 1: got it done last year to this year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was definitely I think the first, not the first,
Speaker 3: but one of those points that's like, this is pro sports, right,
Speaker 3: and that's something that's new to a lot of people.
Speaker 3: And with the coaching change at the beginning of the season,
Speaker 3: before even game one, and then with the GM change
Speaker 3: over the summer, that was the welcome to pro sports moments.
Speaker 3: So I think for as much as was made out
Speaker 3: in the media, like our team has always kind of
Speaker 3: known what's been going on, and our team has always
Speaker 3: been close, and that's at the end of the day, Like,
Speaker 3: that's what matters, is that every team I've ever been on,
Speaker 3: the players are the ones that have to play. The
Speaker 3: players the ones that have to win the game. The coaches,
Speaker 3: the staff can only do so much. It's up to
Speaker 3: the players ultimately. And I think, like I said in
Speaker 3: our locker room, we knew what the truth was. We
Speaker 3: know what the truth is, We know who we are
Speaker 3: as a team. We know how close knit our team was,
Speaker 3: and that's a huge reason why we were successful.
Speaker 1: Okay, so we've got probably a bunch of PWHL newbs
Speaker 1: listening folks who want to get involved but don't have
Speaker 1: a rooting interest, yet maybe don't have a team near them.
Speaker 1: So sell us on the Minnesota Frost. Why should we cheer.
Speaker 2: For your Minnesota Frost. Let's start with our goaltenders.
Speaker 3: We have two great goaltenders and they have a ton
Speaker 3: of personality and like they're just really fun to cheer for.
Speaker 3: They're also like two of the best in the world
Speaker 3: in my opinion, some of the easiest to ever play
Speaker 3: in front of. And they have great pads. So if
Speaker 3: you like, you know styles, great past, we did, great helmet.
Speaker 1: We love looking at pads and helmets and what the
Speaker 1: goalies picked.
Speaker 3: They get to they get to show their you know,
Speaker 3: their uniqueness and their personalities in that way.
Speaker 2: So that's fine.
Speaker 1: And then I think they give us their names so
Speaker 1: we can follow that.
Speaker 2: Nicole Hensley and Mattie Rooney.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Maddy Rooney has sick pads.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they both do. I mean they've both the purple.
Speaker 3: They've done a good job with the purple and making it,
Speaker 3: making it their own.
Speaker 1: And then we got to check that out.
Speaker 2: Yeah through do our defense.
Speaker 3: I just think we have such a well balanced roster
Speaker 3: that and even a moment like we have some superstars
Speaker 3: and you know Taylor Harzy and grayce On Winkle. We
Speaker 3: have Kendall Coin Schofield, who's a future hot gamer in
Speaker 3: our sport, right, and then we have players like Mikaela
Speaker 3: Cava who stepped up huge in playoffs, who's been a
Speaker 3: pro in the past, league's least decline obviously on the
Speaker 3: back end, Claire Thompson, like I said, Sophie Jakes, we
Speaker 3: have all these players, and we also have again the people,
Speaker 3: like we're gonna work hard every game, right, We're not
Speaker 3: going to rely on just to kill and talent. Our
Speaker 3: coach demands more from us out of that. But we're
Speaker 3: gonna play hopefully a mix of skill and physicality and
Speaker 3: hopefully have some fun doing and and uh, we're hoping
Speaker 3: to be a little bit maybe more consistent offensively this year,
Speaker 3: so hopefully that provides people to you know, jump on
Speaker 3: our side.
Speaker 1: Purple Collar work Ethic, is that what we're going to
Speaker 1: go with, Sure, Purple ethic team.
Speaker 2: Yeah, great, color Wave too great.
Speaker 3: I mean, if you like Gatherid the Frost, that kind
Speaker 3: of just like fits into that.
Speaker 2: So if you're a fan of.
Speaker 1: That sponsorship waiting to happen right there, Yeah, it hasn't already.
Speaker 2: Gator, it might be a league spotsor league partner. So yeah,
Speaker 2: it's good.
Speaker 1: It's good there, and they've got Kelly Panic, who is
Speaker 1: a winner at every single level. You are a member
Speaker 1: of the quadruple Gold club, which is College, Olympic, World
Speaker 1: and p WHL, and so that is a perfect reason
Speaker 1: to name your new beer Ben there won that so good.
Speaker 1: This is so good, and the can is so sick.
Speaker 1: Ben there won that. Tell me about this partnership.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's something that actually started at the end of
Speaker 3: last season. There was a picture of me that went
Speaker 3: viral from like the press conference. I was going to
Speaker 3: get Lee and Kendall out of the past press conference,
Speaker 3: and I had two beer cans in my hands, and
Speaker 3: I was like, it's time to go celebrate, like the
Speaker 3: Verdon We're gonna be done doing this, Like we were
Speaker 3: waiting to have the moment we would bring the trophy
Speaker 3: and we're waiting for the entire team. I'm like, we
Speaker 3: got to go do that. So that's kind of how
Speaker 3: it started. And my agent had actually he was like,
Speaker 3: are there any local like breweries that you're that you like,
Speaker 3: that you like going to that you'd want to maybe
Speaker 3: like try to make something happen with and so it
Speaker 3: kind of just spiraled from there, and Fulton was a
Speaker 3: great choice. One of my favorite beers this summer was
Speaker 3: their Lonely Shandy. It's there spin on a class, especially Sandy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's the.
Speaker 3: Best one I've ever had, and I'm very confident in
Speaker 3: saying that. It kind of just stemmed from that. And
Speaker 3: then the marketing director is someone who used to work
Speaker 3: for the Wild for like ten years, so she had
Speaker 3: a lot of like she kind of knew what was
Speaker 3: going on too. And they're a great supporter of Minnesota sports,
Speaker 3: and obviously with the PWHL Minnesota team then now Minnesota
Speaker 3: Frost being the first winners of the waltzter Cup, they
Speaker 3: were super excited to get on board with whatever the
Speaker 3: project looks like. And it's so happened that they were
Speaker 3: able to make it a beer come to life. And
Speaker 3: Ben there one that it's a great name. It's a
Speaker 3: little bit on the edge of cockiness for me, but
Speaker 3: we're gonna lie with it. And I think for me,
Speaker 3: like it's I play a team sport and all of
Speaker 3: the things on my resume that you've read off are
Speaker 3: things that are go back to the team that I'm
Speaker 3: a part of, a team that's no been able to win.
Speaker 3: So I always like to say winners win, and something
Speaker 3: that I feel like as people hear me say a lot,
Speaker 3: and yeah, winning is fun and celebrating those ones with
Speaker 3: the beer in your hand is even better.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say it's kind of a missed opportunity
Speaker 1: that there isn't already a beer that's like basically dedicated
Speaker 1: to being the celebration beer. It just feels like there
Speaker 1: should already be a brand name, big beer company that
Speaker 1: rolls out a specific one that's just for celebrations. Maybe
Speaker 1: it will be been there one that maybe this is
Speaker 1: just the start of something really big. I read in
Speaker 1: the press release that the first beer you had with
Speaker 1: your family when you turned twenty one was Fulton Beer.
Speaker 1: We won't claim that that was the first beer you
Speaker 1: had ever. Hey, it's not just say the first legal
Speaker 1: beer that you had with your family was from this brewery.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't know if it was the very first one,
Speaker 3: but it's definitely one that like with my dad, he's
Speaker 3: an IPA, a fan of I PAS, and I feel
Speaker 3: like that's kind of always played a role into the
Speaker 3: beer I like as well, and so like I very
Speaker 3: distinctly remember the Fulton Sweet Child Divine was one of
Speaker 3: my go to favorites from the beginning, and what a
Speaker 3: random thing for a girl in college to like. But
Speaker 3: it's just something too like with our old family, like
Speaker 3: it's very authentic to like what we do.
Speaker 1: It just it is what it is, and proceeds go
Speaker 1: to the Mosaic Hockey Collective. Some of the proceeds. What
Speaker 1: is that?
Speaker 3: Yeah, so the Mosaic Hockey Collective is there a group
Speaker 3: that me and Matty Grouney actually last year we donated
Speaker 3: some tickets too, and DIDs some meet and greets throughout
Speaker 3: the entire season. Their group basically provide hockey resources to
Speaker 3: players and communities that might not have the easiest access.
Speaker 3: A lot of times it's people of color, and it's
Speaker 3: because of color that again might not have had that
Speaker 3: quintessential Minnesota story of I g I play hockey because
Speaker 3: my dad played hockey and my older brother played hockey
Speaker 3: or whatever it.
Speaker 1: Is, so hopefully now moms and sisters too.
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly.
Speaker 3: So it's it's I think a great organization that just
Speaker 3: brings more people more diversity to the game of hockey
Speaker 3: and again just reinforcing that idea that hockey is a
Speaker 3: space that everyone is welcome and just because it traditionally
Speaker 3: hasn't maybe had the same look. Hopefully more and more
Speaker 3: people are represented in ear league as well.
Speaker 1: Cool. I love that. And you're actually celebrating this beer
Speaker 1: with the launch party early December at the Women's Sports Bar,
Speaker 1: a bar of their own, which I haven't made it
Speaker 1: too yet, but I've heard a lot about if folks
Speaker 1: are near the Twin Cities on December eleventh, then they
Speaker 1: want to go. What can they expect?
Speaker 3: A lot of beer and a great time. A bar
Speaker 3: of their own is a really fun place to be.
Speaker 3: Every time I've ever been in there, there's it's how
Speaker 3: it sounds right, it's women's sports bars. There's women's sports.
Speaker 3: You know, games playing, whether they're live or replays, and
Speaker 3: memorabilia on the wall. And I'm sure I'm trying to
Speaker 3: make sure some of my teammates are out there, so
Speaker 3: hopefully you just have a great time celebrating. I got
Speaker 3: to another way to celebrate the beer, but also our
Speaker 3: team and everything that women's sports as a whole is
Speaker 3: doing now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and maybe maybe you can win tickets too to
Speaker 1: a frost against the charge from Ottawa coming into town
Speaker 1: end of December. So that's cool. You know, you're a
Speaker 1: Minnesota native, you went to college in Minnesota. Now you're
Speaker 1: a pro in Minnesota. Let's say you got to pack
Speaker 1: up tomorrow and live somewhere else where do you go?
Speaker 2: Oh, is this like within the league or can I
Speaker 2: pick anywhere in the world?
Speaker 1: Anywhere in the world.
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, I it's hard.
Speaker 3: I do like people like Minnesota is really it's getting
Speaker 3: kind of cold here now, And I have said I
Speaker 3: wouldn't move. I felt like I had to. I'm not
Speaker 3: like so tied to Minnesota that I have to stay here.
Speaker 3: But I love and this might be weird, but I
Speaker 3: love the summer being like the.
Speaker 2: Reward after like a long winter.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I love the excuse of like the winter
Speaker 3: is my time to hibernate and like just like stop
Speaker 3: doing like social things and be like, well, no, I'm
Speaker 3: in season. And like I also like I'm tied and
Speaker 3: the sun goes down at like four holy cozy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm good in my home.
Speaker 3: And then the summer is like, okay, let's have some fun,
Speaker 3: like like who wants to hang out like that kind
Speaker 3: of thing.
Speaker 2: So it's hard to Mattice for El's. I mean here
Speaker 2: to live.
Speaker 3: That's a good question. I'd be fun maybe to go
Speaker 3: out east somewhere. Was it actually just talking to hand
Speaker 3: a Brand today, checking in with her. So maybe out
Speaker 3: in Boston and see how that would be. But people,
Speaker 3: I feel like talk about Massachusetts and Boston the same
Speaker 3: way they would talk about Minnesota.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, you're picking another good hockey place.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think it's fascinating. You know, I gave
Speaker 1: advice to young people in a column I wrote a
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, and people actually reached out and
Speaker 1: they were like, we listened to you, and I was like,
Speaker 1: holy shit, you moved because of my column. But I said,
Speaker 1: I think it's good for people to get away from
Speaker 1: where they're from at least once. And you can always
Speaker 1: come back, but get away and figure out who you
Speaker 1: are when everybody there hasn't always known you. And so
Speaker 1: it's wonderful to be a loyal Minnesotan and to have
Speaker 1: never left and at every turn be repers ending your state.
Speaker 1: And I also think hopefully sometime in life you'll go
Speaker 1: somewhere very far away, and just make sure that you
Speaker 1: are who you want to be instead of whoeveryone are
Speaker 1: you thinks you are.
Speaker 3: I like that advice. That's really good advice, and I will.
Speaker 3: I just need to find a better answer for you,
Speaker 3: is what I need to do.
Speaker 1: You go there, you go. But also now, everyone who
Speaker 1: is a fan of the Frost, do not yell at me.
Speaker 1: I'm not to go anywhere yet. Just down.
Speaker 2: I'm not going.
Speaker 1: I can promise you that down the road. We've got
Speaker 1: that on tape on tape. It's a promise. Congratulations on
Speaker 1: all your success, good luck with the beer, good luck
Speaker 1: with the season, and thanks so much for giving us
Speaker 1: some time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you, this is fun.
Speaker 1: Thanks again to Kelly for joining us. We got to
Speaker 1: take another break when we come back. Maple Baked YouTube
Speaker 1: and an all too relatable story from the Lobo family.
Speaker 1: Welcome back, Slices. We got an inquiry from one of
Speaker 1: y'all and wanted to provide some answers, so here's an
Speaker 1: excerpt of Slice. Shannon Patterson's email to us high Good
Speaker 1: game team. I'm super pissed at the PWHL for no
Speaker 1: longer streaming all of the games on maple Bacon YouTube
Speaker 1: aka YouTube in Canada. As a Canadian fan who has
Speaker 1: hyped the league to pretty much everyone I know, I
Speaker 1: feel like the league is turning its back on some
Speaker 1: of its biggest supporters in order to cash in. I
Speaker 1: suspect the amount of cash the league breaks in through
Speaker 1: TV deals is important to its future, So I'm hoping
Speaker 1: that you can maybe get someone to tell it to
Speaker 1: me in short sentences so that I'm not pissed at
Speaker 1: them forever. Also, why is the hockey spread across Amazon, Prime,
Speaker 1: CBC and TSN. That's now three streaming sources instead of
Speaker 1: just one that was universally available from a maple bacon slice. Okay, first,
Speaker 1: a maple bacon orange slice is a concept that someone
Speaker 1: should investigate. Not me, because I'm a vegetarian I don't
Speaker 1: eat bacon, but somebody. I think just the sound of
Speaker 1: it is very intriguing. Moving on, Shannon, I did reach
Speaker 1: out to senior VP of Business Ops at the pwhl
Speaker 1: Amy Sheer, who said that your assumptions regarding coverage in
Speaker 1: Canada are spot on. No YouTube in Canada now because
Speaker 1: the league's new broadcast deals come with exclusive streaming rights.
Speaker 1: She said it was a tough decision to make, but
Speaker 1: the right one for the financial health of the league
Speaker 1: and their hopeing fans can understand. In the US, you
Speaker 1: can still watch the PWHL on YouTube and regional sports
Speaker 1: networks like msg nesson and FanDuel. Amy said fans can
Speaker 1: find TV listings on the league website and team websites,
Speaker 1: and can follow them all on socials, where broadcast information
Speaker 1: is listed as well. Thanks to Amy for the info.
Speaker 1: Thanks to Shannon for the note. I guess part of
Speaker 1: being a women's sports fan is rooting for teams and
Speaker 1: leagues to make more money, even if it means paying
Speaker 1: for streaming and paying more for tickets. In merch, a
Speaker 1: we love that you're listening, but we want you to
Speaker 1: get in the game every day too, So here's our
Speaker 1: good game play of the day. Pick a side, any side,
Speaker 1: a PWHL side that is could be based on the city,
Speaker 1: your favorite player, even their logo. In merch, I gotta
Speaker 1: go frost for my girl, Kendle Coinschofield, but maybe you
Speaker 1: Swifties favored the Toronto scepters and that TS logo. They
Speaker 1: even had light up bracelets for opening nights, so they're
Speaker 1: certainly not shying away from the comparisons. If the players
Speaker 1: of the logo don't sway you and you don't have
Speaker 1: a local team, you could google PWHL Takeover Tour and
Speaker 1: maybe see if a team's coming to an arena near you.
Speaker 1: Coloraden's maybe the Victoire or the Frost are your squad?
Speaker 1: Still time to grab a jersey before they plan Denver
Speaker 1: on January twelfth, Saint Louis, folks, maybe pick a side,
Speaker 1: grab some gear for the charge versus the fleet before
Speaker 1: they hit the Enterprise Center in March. Sports are always
Speaker 1: more fun with the rooting interest, So pick a squad
Speaker 1: and let's talk some shit. Also, speaking of talking shit,
Speaker 1: go fill out that NCAA volleyball bracket to take on

Speaker 1: relatable procrastination induced cram sesshes review Friend of the show
Speaker 1: and Basketball Hall of Famer Rebecca Lobo took to Instagram
Speaker 1: to share a hilarious exchange with her college freshman daughter,
Speaker 1: who text her at midnight. Quote, what was the deal
Speaker 1: with the gold medal and starting the WNBA and stuff?
Speaker 1: I need it for an assignment. This assignment is due
Speaker 1: tomorrow morning. Like if you could give me a brief
Speaker 1: summary end quote the gold medal had started the WNBA
Speaker 1: and stuff that line, it's wild, okay, So Rebecca writes back,
Speaker 1: do you know how to use Google? And her daughter responds,
Speaker 1: coming in hot with the bras quote, Bruh. Part of
Speaker 1: the assignment is that I need to talk to people.
Speaker 1: I need to be able to say that I talked
Speaker 1: to you about it. It's called an action step. It's
Speaker 1: not a research paper. Bruh. End quote six h's on
Speaker 1: that last bra. By the way, Rebecca told me that
Speaker 1: she ended up sending her a long voice oute and
Speaker 1: that her daughter is actually a big women's sports fan.
Speaker 1: This was just one of those relatable last minute homework crams.
Speaker 1: We've all been there. Lucky for her, though, she's got
