Speaker 1: am Asian. Do you think anyone's like he doesn't sound
Speaker 1: ation Telega was pretty Filipino if anyone's in the No,
Speaker 1: in the know, but it sounds pretty Italian. You grew
Speaker 1: up in Skoke, Illinois. Um, we are joined today by
Speaker 1: our mutual closest friend. Yeah, has left in both of
Speaker 1: your beds, platonically, no one closer to us. We've shared

Speaker 1: your bed just as much as you slept in hers.
Speaker 1: You will you will know her from Comedy Central, a
Speaker 1: Netflix Degenerates special Lisa Trager. Hello, I'm so happy to
Speaker 1: be here. We're so happy to have you, l A. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're and you're so you're just moving here from new work. Yes,
Speaker 1: we met in Chicago and you already you've already said
Speaker 1: you're just so excited to be here because you you're
Speaker 1: getting a place, you're still kind of settling. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: so many friends are here, and I just got sick.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm I'm done. I didn't realize how
Speaker 1: much I hated the cold weather until the move got
Speaker 1: so close where I'm like, oh my god, I will
Speaker 1: never have to be cold again and just wear a
Speaker 1: cute leather jacket. And that's just the anticipation of that
Speaker 1: is very thrilling. It rained yesterday and it was almost
Speaker 1: like everybody was congratulating each other, like we need this. Truly,
Speaker 1: it was like a win for a team, like wow,
Speaker 1: we did it. Yeah, because when the l A is greener,
Speaker 1: it's more beautiful. It's so pretty. I I honestly think
Speaker 1: it looks like Ireland. I don't know about Ireland has
Speaker 1: the Capitol Records in the middle of music, the arc
Speaker 1: Light Ireland. Um. But yeah, no, truly l A. I mean,
Speaker 1: I feel like I've always trying to convince you to
Speaker 1: move from New York to l A. But now you
Speaker 1: you get it, you see, and now that I do
Speaker 1: go to New York and little spurts. You know, I
Speaker 1: see some Broadway shows, I see some r and it
Speaker 1: just is a more magic less carbon monoxide in my apartment.
Speaker 1: I see some Broadway show I thought you plays last week? Wow,
Speaker 1: you really do New York right? Yeah. It's never been
Speaker 1: to a Knicks game though, sorry, been the Nets, Mets
Speaker 1: and Yankees. You we do? Yeah, I mean it's like, um,
Speaker 1: you know, MSG the Knicks are such an iconic thing
Speaker 1: in sports. But truly, if you want to get to
Speaker 1: the basketball of it, it is atrocious to watch. No.
Speaker 1: I was happy that my first MSG experience was a
Speaker 1: Rangers game and we sat like on the on the
Speaker 1: glass what it's called. I think I believe that we
Speaker 1: sat maybe two rows back from the glass, and that
Speaker 1: was great because I was like if I was here
Speaker 1: for basketball. But NIXT games are like so iconic in
Speaker 1: romantic comedies or how to lose a guy in ten
Speaker 1: days is they go there's that there's really a celebrity
Speaker 1: row is what it's called his courtside and it's like
Speaker 1: SNL people or whoever is trying to whoever's paying a
Speaker 1: PR person that makes that look like they're dating. They'll
Speaker 1: sit in the front. Like I hope to someday be
Speaker 1: able to pay a PR person to get me on
Speaker 1: the big screen. But yeah, I would love that. I've
Speaker 1: never been to a hockey game, but my only experiences
Speaker 1: at Madison Square Garden have been Adele in the Dixie Chicks.
Speaker 1: So not very but doing better than the next. I
Speaker 1: want to give a little bit more context, So Lisa,
Speaker 1: I mean, this is what's going to happen on the podcast.
Speaker 1: I feel like a bunch is you don't even like
Speaker 1: sports that much. Of course I like sports I'm just
Speaker 1: not educated in the current players, and I don't know
Speaker 1: football rules, even though I played football in eighth grade. Um,
Speaker 1: but I forget. I always forget about that. I love
Speaker 1: when people's dreams come true. I love people that work
Speaker 1: hard to achieve their goals. I love seeing excellence, so
Speaker 1: like I love seeing champions, and you know, I enjoy athletics.
Speaker 1: You know you have like a I can name all
Speaker 1: the NBA teams. You know, that's my party trip. That's
Speaker 1: the party trip you have some people have, you know,
Speaker 1: the ping pong you got it up. I was sitting
Speaker 1: with a couple of our friends and I went, I
Speaker 1: didn't plan this. It wasn't like I studied. I was like,
Speaker 1: we were stoned, and I just said, how many teams
Speaker 1: do you think I can name? And they said ten?
Speaker 1: And suddenly I just went and they were like they
Speaker 1: couldn't believe it. And so then I, you know, I
Speaker 1: keep doing it and it's excitingst Yeah, all right here,
Speaker 1: I'm with the guests and I'm going to see how
Speaker 1: they react to me naming each NBA team. We were
Speaker 1: having a discussion the other night about what level of
Speaker 1: player we would have to meet for it to go
Speaker 1: on the Instagram like timeline instead of just a story
Speaker 1: like like I was like, if I met Drew Brees,
Speaker 1: I'm storing it. You know, he's not going on the
Speaker 1: on the Saints. He's on the Saints. Say, I do
Speaker 1: have some knowledge and he has a cheered like you
Speaker 1: ran America on the st but yeah, well do you
Speaker 1: have Is there like a borderline celebrity or athlete that
Speaker 1: you would go I met Jeremy Lynn and I didn't
Speaker 1: post it. That might be I was in a photo,
Speaker 1: but I post that you should post TBT, I'll find
Speaker 1: I'll find it. I was. He came to the comedy seller.
Speaker 1: He did, Yeah, do you like you? Um, he was
Speaker 1: more into the boys, I think, but his girl, the
Speaker 1: girls he was with and his friends weren't. That's awesome. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but they were all kissing his ass like they're all
Speaker 1: Knicks people or whatever basketball people. He's in China now playing,
Speaker 1: but you got him. I do love that. I mean,
Speaker 1: that was the one time I really loved watching Nick's basketball.
Speaker 1: But um, that's for all geek out. And then I
Speaker 1: remember when we lived in Hell's Kitchen, Carmelo Anthony went
Speaker 1: to our beau day, right, Yeah, boys told us he
Speaker 1: got he liked the Philly cheese stead Yes, wow, that
Speaker 1: makes me like him. He just if he didn't know.
Speaker 1: He just got signed to a team and that was
Speaker 1: like a big thing, and I'm happy for him. I
Speaker 1: used to not like him. This is what's happening. Team
Speaker 1: the Blazers, one of the teams that you've mentioned. I am.
Speaker 1: I am realizing that my dad's hatred of people spilled
Speaker 1: into my brain as a child. So like if he
Speaker 1: didn't like an athlete growing up, then I was like,
Speaker 1: they're terrible. And now CJ likes all these like bad
Speaker 1: guys that are like wild and so like some wild
Speaker 1: ones like that. But Lance Stevens or whatever. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: we've found out some do. That's that's you have to
Speaker 1: you honestly have to be like a educated consumer to
Speaker 1: know the history of people. I also want to say, um,
Speaker 1: the way your dad influenced you, you influence I hate
Speaker 1: the Steelers, that's correct. And when people say anything, I'm
Speaker 1: like Megan told me, and that's it. You guys are
Speaker 1: trash and the Steelers are bad and like rapists and
Speaker 1: there we go. So that's like, but those opinions and
Speaker 1: and some of some of this is coming from my dad. Now,
Speaker 1: my dad has been able to permeate your brain. But then,
Speaker 1: like when I first met her, her parents ends and
Speaker 1: her dad was like, I don't like Lebron. I'm like,
Speaker 1: you're insane, like you, And I think since hanging out
Speaker 1: with us, he's sort of now sort of grown onto
Speaker 1: like why we like these people, And it's for their
Speaker 1: you know, progressiveness and like doing stuff off the court
Speaker 1: rather than their He dunks it too much, which hates
Speaker 1: which so impressive and he keeps getting more impressive, and
Speaker 1: all the facts that come out. But being a kid
Speaker 1: in the nineties and like the Chicago suburbs, it is
Speaker 1: really hard not to like just you know, think that
Speaker 1: Jordan is the best. Yeah, that's true. It's hard. I'm
Speaker 1: not educated, but when people bring up the argument, I'll
Speaker 1: just scream Jordan's but he is so impressive. No, but
Speaker 1: I think that's a good, a great perspective to have.
Speaker 1: Is like, that is an ongoing debate Lebron versus Jordan.
Speaker 1: But if anyone grew up in the Midwest, or for
Speaker 1: you specifically in Chicago, that must have been crazy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was the bat I mean it was thrilling. I
Speaker 1: played basketball as a kid because of it. You know,
Speaker 1: I had all the shirts. We I remember going to
Speaker 1: a Pacers Bowls playoff game and um yeah, and then
Speaker 1: they scored over hundreds. We all got big. Yeah. We
Speaker 1: were like cheering for the big Max. And I have
Speaker 1: a photo of me um with a little like I
Speaker 1: got a stuffed animal bear Pom pomp fulls person. But
Speaker 1: we had such bad seats. We were all the way
Speaker 1: back and I got he was just like, Reggie, put
Speaker 1: some sugar on your bald head and go sweet talk
Speaker 1: back in Indianapolis, and I remember that. I'm like, please
Speaker 1: do I like remember this man yelling you. It was
Speaker 1: just the time of my life. So yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: But I was a Rodman girl, obviously, you know, the
Speaker 1: tattooed person. I loved Rodman. And you are a white
Speaker 1: Sox fan, I am, which is shocking because I grew
Speaker 1: up in the North Shore suburbs. But I think it's
Speaker 1: because my sister and her husband met when they were fifteen,
Speaker 1: and the old school Jews lived on the South Side.
Speaker 1: And I think that's how the socks you feel more
Speaker 1: socks to me than cubs. You know. You know, I've
Speaker 1: been arrested from socks games. I've been kicked out. We
Speaker 1: went to what I've also been there for Father's Day,
Speaker 1: Like we have to celebrate holidays there every my birthday.
Speaker 1: My birthday party was there. And then there was a
Speaker 1: game that we went to, but that wasn't we were
Speaker 1: just going to one. Yeah, remember I was three things
Speaker 1: to get to the we those. But then we had
Speaker 1: another time where we got to sit in the bar
Speaker 1: area and then I cheered and someone went, why did
Speaker 1: you cheer? Because it was like not for the socks.
Speaker 1: I go. He really recovered quickly. I was proud of
Speaker 1: his action and like like a no. But then we
Speaker 1: went once with Lindsay. Yes, this is my best friend
Speaker 1: UM from growing up, and we were we were taking
Speaker 1: UM the Red Line down south and it stopped suddenly
Speaker 1: and was on fire. There was smoke, and Lindsay with
Speaker 1: her bare hands opened the doors side pride the doors
Speaker 1: open and we all escaped. Heard this story the people
Speaker 1: and saved the burning train. Oh my god. But then
Speaker 1: in true Lindsay fashion, we get down. I was dating
Speaker 1: a guy and so he was like, that's who we
Speaker 1: were going to the game with. Doesn't matter. I don't
Speaker 1: even and then and then he had a friend with
Speaker 1: him and Lindsay, and Lindsay hated the friend, got in
Speaker 1: a fight with him, and then we made the friend
Speaker 1: go sit somewhere else in the stadium. But I also
Speaker 1: remember there's a photo of us with a man that
Speaker 1: worked at the stadium when we had winter coats on
Speaker 1: and that night I remember. But I also have a
Speaker 1: saving on a Sox fan and my first game was
Speaker 1: a Sox. I remember cheering a lot and everyone was
Speaker 1: annoyed with me. I wasn't a young kid. I will
Speaker 1: go to Cubs games. I don't care. I've got I
Speaker 1: love the Crosstown Classics. That's why I'm but I'll go
Speaker 1: to Cubs game. I don't care. I'm not. I can
Speaker 1: tell you the oh five lineup of the Socks, but
Speaker 1: I can't tell you a player. Yeah, Canerico Valentinam I
Speaker 1: guess that was a team that was a team who won.
Speaker 1: Krazinski like, I'm like, yeah, I did like him. We
Speaker 1: are we love mean Knarico was like the horror I
Speaker 1: feel like because he had opportunities to leave and he didn't.
Speaker 1: That's nice, That's that's very days. My brother in law
Speaker 1: has a packet of seeds that he threw to him once. Okay,
Speaker 1: um I met I met Ozzy and multiple times I
Speaker 1: used to work. I used to work in sports in Chicago.
Speaker 1: And the first time I met Ozzy Gee and he
Speaker 1: asked me if I wanted to be famous, to which
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, I get and then
Speaker 1: he goes, if you want to be famous, kill somebody
Speaker 1: what And that was his advice. Did he kill somebody? No,
Speaker 1: I think he was. He was trying to make a
Speaker 1: larger point about how this country is obsessed with glorifying
Speaker 1: like violence. I believe he was telling it. Twenty one
Speaker 1: year old woman in his office is um wife got
Speaker 1: wax at a salon I worked at. I don't know
Speaker 1: if that's a confidentiality thing or I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't under hip hop. I don't know what that info for. No,
Speaker 1: Chicago is such a great sports town. I only went
Speaker 1: to one Bears game. I didn't like the snacks unfortunately,
Speaker 1: like the food was and I was with my ex
Speaker 1: boyfriend and he was not very fun at the time. Well,
Speaker 1: I hope our friend paid for those tickets. He knows
Speaker 1: he was a Yeah, I bought these tickets hundreds of
Speaker 1: dollars and the most expensive ticket in the NFL, like
Speaker 1: for a lot. I don't know if it is now,
Speaker 1: but the Bears was the most expensive ticket. I was
Speaker 1: also a great girlfriend. I got him jay Z Kanye
Speaker 1: tickets to watch the Throne tour as well. When I
Speaker 1: gave him, yeah, what do we go to? Oh? Book
Speaker 1: of Mormon? Yeah, those were great seats. Thank you. I
Speaker 1: had extra Book of Mormon tickets. But no, I the
Speaker 1: reason I'm so mad. He was drunk. It was his birthday,
Speaker 1: and then I gave him these Bears tickets, thinking like
Speaker 1: this is gonna be the best thing ever. He went, Oh,
Speaker 1: I have plans tomorrow with our friends, and I was like,
Speaker 1: I think you can cancel your plans with Marty. You know.
Speaker 1: I was so madam, But yeah, I mean now I
Speaker 1: love Lebron's pink one a a gum. Yes, we we
Speaker 1: just discovered that a few weeks ago. Um. Speaking of
Speaker 1: Lebron though, and we'll get onto the topic. We are
Speaker 1: going to a Crosstown Classic here. We will have already
Speaker 1: been to it when this this is That's why you
Speaker 1: may have been like, why do they keep saying no?
Speaker 1: That's why I didn't say about Christmas was going to
Speaker 1: Lakers Clippers. Are you excited? I know I've been bragging
Speaker 1: all of the time before. I yeah, I think I'm
Speaker 1: gonna wear a sweatshirt dress. I think that's because I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have any high boots. Call that sweatshirt dress Ariana
Speaker 1: grand day. So I'm gonna I'm gonna group text with
Speaker 1: the with these two ladies. And I've probably been in
Speaker 1: it for years that I haven't counted. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: just get a text with a sweatshirt dress and you
Speaker 1: said I think I'm going Ariana. What does that mean?
Speaker 1: I knew what it meant. I don't know. I didn't
Speaker 1: And then he was like, I gotta plan my outfit.
Speaker 1: I'm the only one that doesn't have a vision yet
Speaker 1: for my look. Well, yeah, and then we'll see if
Speaker 1: things change. But I feel like that's my I love
Speaker 1: a sweatshirt dress, so it'll be warm. Yeah. I love
Speaker 1: that you you have that thought, like what are you
Speaker 1: going to wear to the game. I think that's that's
Speaker 1: what I think always. I remember, this is a White
Speaker 1: Sox thing. But we went. Me and a couple of
Speaker 1: friends went for the St. Patrick's Day or they have
Speaker 1: a Saint Patrick's Day in the summer, they have something
Speaker 1: like that a lot of themes. No one really goes
Speaker 1: to those games. So we snuck in a bottle of
Speaker 1: liquor in a Doctor SEUs white sox hat. It was
Speaker 1: what we actually used to buy, little pouches of booze
Speaker 1: sticking our titties. I mean I used to go since
Speaker 1: I was a teen, like this was my favorite thing.
Speaker 1: And I have also snuck in vodka in fake tampons
Speaker 1: to the US open. Yes, is bad, but it was
Speaker 1: our friend. It was like a new friend of ours
Speaker 1: and she was She was like, I'm going to bring
Speaker 1: vodka tampons and I was like, what lesbian ship is this?
Speaker 1: You know, like we're gonna suck booze out of a
Speaker 1: tampon and then they were just test tubes in tampon rappers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but US open those drinks. And the thing is we
Speaker 1: fought on the way to the now, I'm like, what
Speaker 1: a bargain. Yeah, I worked for the US. I know.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, guys. I really apologized to the U
Speaker 1: s t A for doing that, But U S t A.
Speaker 1: I don't think that social media for one of the
Speaker 1: things that I shot this year. We made the drink
Speaker 1: the Honeydus, and I learned the recipe. There's only one
Speaker 1: shot of vodka in it, and so when I was
Speaker 1: making it, I put extra in because it was like
Speaker 1: a competition to see who's tasted better. And I obviously
Speaker 1: one and they were like that one's better and they
Speaker 1: were like, yeah, but she made it wrong. It's like, no,
Speaker 1: I made it right. Like it can't just be one shots.
Speaker 1: I think the little tennis falls. I know it's really cute,
Speaker 1: but you know, I went to a favorite restaurant here
Speaker 1: yesterday in l A. I don't know if I should
Speaker 1: say or not, but one tostado was twenty two dollars
Speaker 1: and it was delicious. But it's like if it was
Speaker 1: a teen, i'd feel okay, it's just that like extra
Speaker 1: little bit that's a lot, Like you're just that threshold
Speaker 1: of twenty for one thing was the poor good a portion.
Speaker 1: It's delicious, it's delicious, but you can't share it. It
Speaker 1: breaks apart. No, you can't share. And then I mean
Speaker 1: we were the most l A table. One person opted
Speaker 1: out of eating, and then two yeah, he goes, I
Speaker 1: just opt out sometimes. And then two girls shared one salad,
Speaker 1: and then me and one gay guy we each had
Speaker 1: one toast at and we shared sweet potatoes. I mean
Speaker 1: later Drewan messaged me being like, I'm still so hungry,
Speaker 1: very embarrassed to say anything because it kept be like
Speaker 1: are we gonna get barata? I'm like, M I guess not. Well,
Speaker 1: I was on my way there and stuck in traffic,
Speaker 1: and if I would have been there, I would have
Speaker 1: wanted that marata. Yeah for sure. Okay, so let's get
Speaker 1: into the I feel like I feel like I've just
Speaker 1: been bragging about like no, no, I like sports. I
Speaker 1: think honestly, I've been your friend for years and that's
Speaker 1: a lot of sports background that but you don't watched
Speaker 1: the thirty for thirties. We have friends that we are
Speaker 1: not asking to be on this not it's not an
Speaker 1: open invitation. If you're listening, you're not welcome. But but
Speaker 1: so it's like you you have enough qualifications as a
Speaker 1: sports fan that the crushes on them, and we thought
Speaker 1: you could um that you would be able to do great,
Speaker 1: especially at this topic, because I think this is like feels,
Speaker 1: this is like a fun, feel good one. Um, today
Speaker 1: we're going to be doing greatest duo, cool greatest duos,
Speaker 1: which you guys are the greatest duok you slide this
Speaker 1: clever thing in. You guys are a great duo. I
Speaker 1: will sometimes just watch you too. I'm like, what is
Speaker 1: going on? Like what is this? But in a very
Speaker 1: loving way. Um I, I'm fine to go first. I
Speaker 1: have one that I that I would like to get
Speaker 1: out of the way. I've sort of decided that when
Speaker 1: I'm being a total Indianapolis homer, I need to just
Speaker 1: like get it out of the way and move on
Speaker 1: from it. Um I did uh, I did back this
Speaker 1: up that there are other people that believe this. This
Speaker 1: is not just me being a psycho. But I got
Speaker 1: to watch this duo. It will bring tears to my
Speaker 1: eyes even remembering them together. But it's Marvin Harrison and
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning to Hall of Famers. They hold multiple records.
Speaker 1: They have nine hundred and seventy one completions between the
Speaker 1: two of them, thirteen thousand receiving arts, and a hundred
Speaker 1: and ten touchdowns together. That's I don't think that's bias. Okay, Alright,
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning alone is maybe the greatest quarterbacks. And yeah,
Speaker 1: I think we all know that and Marvin Harrison's favorite
Speaker 1: food is candy. Those are my favorite facts of athletes.
Speaker 1: When it's like he had fifteen Big Max and then
Speaker 1: pitch to no hitter, right, it's like the best. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: any thirty or thirty is great because it has gotten
Speaker 1: people into sports that weren't into like just like stats,
Speaker 1: and so knowing those stories is really fun. So what
Speaker 1: does he have particular candy or he just loves kid?
Speaker 1: You know, you know, he is a very soft spoken man,
Speaker 1: does not love to give interviews. This was now in
Speaker 1: the NFL you can do se touchdown celebrations, but when
Speaker 1: he was playing you could not, but you it still
Speaker 1: do some stuff you just couldn't use, like props and everything.
Speaker 1: And he never did. And they asked him once like
Speaker 1: why don't you celebrate after you catch a touchdown? And
Speaker 1: he was like, because that's my job. He's just so sweet.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know it is nurmured that he murdered
Speaker 1: a man was waiting for you to get to it
Speaker 1: comes up, and we're not going to speculate on whether
Speaker 1: like an accident or no. I don't believe so he owned. Um.
Speaker 1: I actually don't know the specifics because I have not
Speaker 1: looked into it. Then well yeah, then this will be great.
Speaker 1: Um that's my favorite thing to do, to know nothing
Speaker 1: and be an authority. Um. He owned a business that
Speaker 1: was like a car wash hybrid, like a car wash
Speaker 1: launder Matt car wash, not strip club, but it was
Speaker 1: car wash something else. And I believe that, Um, the
Speaker 1: crime was committed there, but also I think someone went
Speaker 1: down for it. So it's like, you know, he may
Speaker 1: murdered him, but he does have a good fall guy,
Speaker 1: which they do tell them. There was there was an
Speaker 1: NFL analyst recently. I will not say who who was.
Speaker 1: Like I think there was a speech lead where he's like,
Speaker 1: have somebody in your crew that will go down for you,
Speaker 1: Like that's what you need. So just like a dumb
Speaker 1: person that will just like a loyal one like like Lindsay,
Speaker 1: Lindsay not dumb. But you don't want her to sit
Speaker 1: in jail for of course I don't. But the thing
Speaker 1: is that your fall person doesn't. They wouldn't even you
Speaker 1: don't even have to ask them. They're like, this is
Speaker 1: my calling. All right, I'm gonna write this on greatest
Speaker 1: fall guy. UM, but Peyton obviously Peyton was your quarterback
Speaker 1: for how many years? Thirteen years? And then you got
Speaker 1: to go and right for him too. How did that?
Speaker 1: How was that experience? I mean it was incredible. I
Speaker 1: definitely felt so like electric every time he would come
Speaker 1: in the room and you're not meeting somebody like out
Speaker 1: at a public event, like we were at work, and
Speaker 1: so I did try and being normal, and then any
Speaker 1: time he would leave the room, everyone would look at
Speaker 1: me and be like, are you okay? That's your hero?
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I know, but you pay the very chill.
Speaker 1: I did not tell him until like the SPS ended.
Speaker 1: We all took a group picture together and I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm from Indianapolis, and He's like, why didn't you tell him?
Speaker 1: I'm like, I just didn't want it to be and
Speaker 1: like I'm sure. Then he was like I could tell
Speaker 1: you were a little She was coming home and being
Speaker 1: like Peyton was like looking at me like this and
Speaker 1: he was doing this, and I was like, all right, listen,
Speaker 1: I get it, like Peyton Manning is great, but we
Speaker 1: gotta pump the play. I was getting jealous of Peyton Manning,
Speaker 1: but it's like warranted. He's Peyton Manning, so he's just
Speaker 1: so good. Would be mad if you found out Megan
Speaker 1: and Peyton made out, Yes, I would be, But I
Speaker 1: just wondering, and people asked me this so good, which
Speaker 1: is so sad for me? Was just like, all right,
Speaker 1: you hear the news that Megan David Lebron. I'm like, man,
Speaker 1: that stinks, but that's awesome. Good for them. I just
Speaker 1: wouldn't happen. Um. But Peyton, like, it was really cool
Speaker 1: to see him be a comedian too, Like he is
Speaker 1: he knows timing. Like watching him, I was like, you're
Speaker 1: better than so many of comedians I know, Like he
Speaker 1: understands what he's good at and like his voice and
Speaker 1: stays in that lane really well. I try. I had
Speaker 1: like I obviously respected him, but then after working with him,
Speaker 1: I had like another level of respect for him as
Speaker 1: a performer. He's great. No c J, you go, okay,
Speaker 1: you like this one that's going to be well because
Speaker 1: I know which one you probably are going to say,
Speaker 1: and I agree with it, but I didn't. I think
Speaker 1: so I don't know. I think maybe I know what
Speaker 1: you guys are going to say. I'm gonna say it
Speaker 1: at some point to really, I honestly don't feel like no,
Speaker 1: I mean my first one is a Shock and Penny.
Speaker 1: You're going to say that I think he's a little guy, right,
Speaker 1: He's not. I mean he has a little Penny. There
Speaker 1: is a little Penny, remember a little penny. Clearly that's
Speaker 1: what I'm thinking. A little penny. Big Penny is a
Speaker 1: great du Little Penny didn't play an NBA, right, and
Speaker 1: he was an action I'm thinking, who's the one from
Speaker 1: space sham um? Okay, that's for later. But Shack and Penny.
Speaker 1: I in the last few years, I've only started to
Speaker 1: appreciate people who were big and playing against Jordan's and
Speaker 1: the bulls that I can't believe. As a kid, I
Speaker 1: didn't recognize how great of a duo Shack and Penny were.
Speaker 1: Just the NBA and pop culture, just like the Magic
Speaker 1: back then. I don't know if you guys knew this
Speaker 1: or like, realize, every kid in our class, no matter
Speaker 1: what city you're in, head like Orlando, Magic starts. It's
Speaker 1: just hornets. My brother had a Michigan one, and it's
Speaker 1: like we live in Indiana, Like there's major schools in Indiana.
Speaker 1: But I think it's just a Flyers jacket. But I
Speaker 1: think it was just the culture of the starter jackets
Speaker 1: and cool logos and man like, I feel like the
Speaker 1: NBA and all these leagues were so like buttoned up
Speaker 1: in Orlando Magic and Charlotte Hornet's and Toronto Raptors, like
Speaker 1: this was the new era of kind of flashiness. And
Speaker 1: to have Shack who to this day every day, I'm like,
Speaker 1: we got to thank the Lord that Shaquille O'Neill exists exactly.
Speaker 1: And now Penny Hardaway is just he was also one
Speaker 1: of the greatest point guards I think of the nineties
Speaker 1: and now is a very successful um and very good
Speaker 1: coach for college. Yeah, and where's like really fun sneakers
Speaker 1: and his his signature line with Nike is still like
Speaker 1: a very popular shoe. So he out recruited everyone, like
Speaker 1: coach k is like he got the best recruiting class
Speaker 1: because he's from Memphis, I believe, and everyone was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: let's a good play for Penny. He like he tried
Speaker 1: to come back. He played for the sons Um and
Speaker 1: I can't remember maybe another team, but his knee he
Speaker 1: just had like a bad name. How often do players
Speaker 1: become coaches, I'd say, but not called like former NBA
Speaker 1: players aren't particularly have a great track record coaching college,
Speaker 1: Like like they get NBA jobs and they're not usually
Speaker 1: that great, but like to go to college is just
Speaker 1: like almost thankless, unless you know you're gonna make a
Speaker 1: million dollars, which he didn't know. He went and coached
Speaker 1: I think a high school after he is sort of
Speaker 1: his his playing days. Patrick Ewing is at Georgetown right now,
Speaker 1: so that's really cool too. And it's sort of just
Speaker 1: like a lot of there's like kind of a road
Speaker 1: of like, well, this didn't work, this didn't work, and
Speaker 1: then it's like your alumni might hit you up and
Speaker 1: be like, do you want to coach for us? But
Speaker 1: I just remember Shack and Penny in the nineties being
Speaker 1: a kid, just during that boom of like cool NBA,
Speaker 1: flashy colors and logos. Those are those were the guys
Speaker 1: that I didn't get to show that much love to.
Speaker 1: That's a fun duo and Skinny Shock totally different his life. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I am like he was pretty they were. They
Speaker 1: were also in Blue Chips together. You'd like, actually, you'd
Speaker 1: like Blue Chips. I think, Lisa, is it about cops
Speaker 1: or no, it's uh, that's chips. Um that's California Highway
Speaker 1: International place. I think. I don't know if it's international,
Speaker 1: but yes, so like they were in a movie together
Speaker 1: before they played together in the end the day. Let's
Speaker 1: take a quick break and then we'll be right back
Speaker 1: with Lisa's first pick. All right, now we're back and
Speaker 1: we're here with Liza's number one pick, number first. Well,
Speaker 1: this is a risk. I don't know, maybe this is
Speaker 1: the wrong because maybe it's not a classic duo in
Speaker 1: your heart. I'm gonna say Venus and Serena, Yes, I think, um,
Speaker 1: I have them on my list, so you know, it's
Speaker 1: not a risk. I think they're badass, hard working, uh groundbreaking,
Speaker 1: cool gals with so many awards. And I really like
Speaker 1: that male tennis player who always shuts down sexist things,
Speaker 1: who someone says, you're the only guy who's won this
Speaker 1: many Olympic and he goes, actually, that's not I'm guessing
Speaker 1: because that seems like him. But yeah, they just win
Speaker 1: so much. They're so winning, and they love each other
Speaker 1: and they have so many projects outside. And someone told
Speaker 1: me they saw them in a nightclub ones just drinking
Speaker 1: Fiji water and eating crab legs, And I love that
Speaker 1: dated Drake for a minute, right, Serena. Um, So this
Speaker 1: is why I guess I wish I did a little research,
Speaker 1: but just off the top of my head, I would
Speaker 1: say those are the winningest, coolest gals. This is why
Speaker 1: I do think they can be considered a duo is
Speaker 1: because I think them growing up together and training together
Speaker 1: and practicing with each other has made both of them better.
Speaker 1: So they did elevate each other's games, or else it
Speaker 1: would have just been Serena and Richard hitting, you know,
Speaker 1: Like it's those videos of them playing as young girls.
Speaker 1: I played at a tennis court recently and they had
Speaker 1: like a huge Venus and Serena banner. It was like
Speaker 1: a court they played it at some point in their childhood.
Speaker 1: And it made me cry, Like they have impacted the
Speaker 1: sport so immensely. And there's all of these young women,
Speaker 1: many of them like Black American women who now play
Speaker 1: and it's a direct result of Venus and Serena being
Speaker 1: the greatest of all time. Yeah, and they really love
Speaker 1: each other and I feel like they cheer for each other,
Speaker 1: and of course, being competitive athletes, I'm sure they're bummed
Speaker 1: one one loses or they don't make it but they
Speaker 1: do really seem genuinely happy for each other. Do they
Speaker 1: ever play doubles together? They've they've won like dozens of
Speaker 1: Grand Slams. They're excellent together and even when they like
Speaker 1: lose individually, sometimes they're still in the tournament playing doubles
Speaker 1: together and then have to like do that. But yeah,
Speaker 1: they go just each other. Thinking about what they had
Speaker 1: to deal with at such a young age for so long,
Speaker 1: and how awful people are to them, and how graceful
Speaker 1: they've been through all that, um is pretty impressive as well.
Speaker 1: There was a tournament that they played in actually here
Speaker 1: in California near Palm Springs, Indian Wells, when they were younger,
Speaker 1: and they were treated so terribly that they said, we
Speaker 1: will never play here again. That's how bad it was.
Speaker 1: And only very recently went back, and it was they
Speaker 1: didn't need to, you know, like they handled that so
Speaker 1: beautifully and like I can't imagine I would be, like
Speaker 1: the fuck Indian well I don't need to go to
Speaker 1: the desert and deal with this. And the response and
Speaker 1: like the reception that they got was so beautiful that
Speaker 1: it's like, good, I'm glad that those people are now gone,
Speaker 1: Like we don't need you to be fans of this sport.
Speaker 1: I've been to the US Open probably six times, and
Speaker 1: this year was the most diverse crowd I've ever seen,
Speaker 1: and it was incredible, Like there were kids from every
Speaker 1: single background there and you felt like you were at
Speaker 1: an NBA game and not at some like waspy rich
Speaker 1: white event. And they have been like very good about
Speaker 1: being ambassadors of the game too, so like they'll play
Speaker 1: against another you know, young black team and who will
Speaker 1: beat them. But after the game, it's like, yes, in
Speaker 1: front of the just hear about the mentorship and kind
Speaker 1: of just like you know, pushing up and that, and
Speaker 1: that's trickled down to the younger players. Yeah. Well, remember
Speaker 1: we watched that. It was um it was Coco Golf lost,
Speaker 1: I believe to um, the woman who beat Serena in
Speaker 1: the finals last year. And when she beat Serena, she
Speaker 1: cried and her name is escaping me. And Serena was
Speaker 1: so gracious and then she beat Coco Golf, who was
Speaker 1: this like massive like overnight success at Wimbledon, who's fifteen
Speaker 1: years old, and they she consoled her like she was
Speaker 1: having to give an interview and she's a young girl.
Speaker 1: She's like fourteen or fifteen years old on national television
Speaker 1: live and is crying and she was like, no, you come,
Speaker 1: you stand here with me. We will do this interview together.
Speaker 1: And I do think that support is because they have
Speaker 1: watched Venus and Serena do that. Yeah, you know, not
Speaker 1: to bring up the patriarchy, but you know, so they're
Speaker 1: gonna say the patriots. I was like, don't no, but
Speaker 1: like so much of everything is based on like such
Speaker 1: a masculine ideals, and so it's nice to see like
Speaker 1: feminine energy and like being nice to your competitor and
Speaker 1: like I don't know, just changing the way interviews and
Speaker 1: everything happen, you know, everywhere, and like being friends with everyone.
Speaker 1: Soccer team too. You know, she beat her back. It
Speaker 1: was like six one, six one. It was this girl's
Speaker 1: first time on Arthur ash and it wasn't like she
Speaker 1: went easy on her, but that's what she felt, like
Speaker 1: remorse for this trial going through it. Thank you. I
Speaker 1: love them. They're strong. It's like you look at their
Speaker 1: bodies and you're like, funk, you're working hard. And then
Speaker 1: that HBO documentary about Serena getting back into it after
Speaker 1: giving birth and breastfeeding and like almost dying. I mean
Speaker 1: it's just that's w Yeah. Sometimes I watched that documentary
Speaker 1: on planes and just stare at the men around me,
Speaker 1: like you can't do anything. I can see when for
Speaker 1: Megan and watches an empowering woman document documentary, just like
Speaker 1: that shouldn't be around I will get yelled at. Um.
Speaker 1: Venus and Serena were my number. When I share that
Speaker 1: with you, I have another one, so c J, I'll
Speaker 1: let you Um. I picked Michael Jordan's and Bugs Bunny.
Speaker 1: I mean I think people were like Michael Jordan's but
Speaker 1: like Michael Jordan's Bugs Bunny were a duo. Like I
Speaker 1: mean it started with like just the Nike I was
Speaker 1: like waiting for the end of the bit and this
Speaker 1: is my real life. I just think that they I
Speaker 1: think Tweety brought a lot to the game, but you know,
Speaker 1: I'm I think he was more supporting casts. Maybe it
Speaker 1: was best trio, but it is like not. I think
Speaker 1: it's really iconic those two next to each other. I
Speaker 1: think in the Nike commercials and then now Space Jam
Speaker 1: and now Space Jams being remade, I think there are
Speaker 1: a lot of sneakers that are like there's like Bugs
Speaker 1: Bunny edition, and it's like, that's what I fear for
Speaker 1: Lebron and starting in Space gam two, is that it's
Speaker 1: gonna be like, no, it's Jordans in Bugs Bunny, It's
Speaker 1: not Lebron in Bugs Bunny. Um. Do you think it's
Speaker 1: self aware enough that they maybe Bugs will make a
Speaker 1: comment about Jordan and you know there'll be like but
Speaker 1: I but I just feel like Lebron's camp won't let
Speaker 1: that happen. Do you think Bugs feels any you know,
Speaker 1: like loyalty, like you know when they first met, was like, listen,
Speaker 1: I've done this before. Yeah, I think I think so,
Speaker 1: you're kind of my second wife. And I think this
Speaker 1: if are you guys ever going to dress like Lolan
Speaker 1: Bugs for Halloween? Well, what do you want me to
Speaker 1: say it? Yeah? When I when I came, I came
Speaker 1: home after hanging out with Megan for not the first time,
Speaker 1: but like, uh, in the last few years. I think
Speaker 1: it was like three and a half years ago. My
Speaker 1: roommate Winmer Thomas, another funny comedian, I was hanging out
Speaker 1: with Megan. I came and I was like, I think
Speaker 1: I like my friend Megan, and he goes, you only
Speaker 1: like her because she looks like Lola Bunny. How Ever,
Speaker 1: did you ever see that in Megan? No, no, because
Speaker 1: I think it's because you have red hair. That never
Speaker 1: so it goes more Jessica Rabbit. So it's like maybe
Speaker 1: you I just want to rab I think, and I
Speaker 1: think feature wise now I can see it, but that
Speaker 1: that's not where my brain. But I do think we
Speaker 1: have a Bug's Lola. Yeah, dynamic. Do you think my
Speaker 1: comedy is like bugs Bunny? Yeah? Wow, that's the best
Speaker 1: compliment I've ever got. That movie was ever. I had
Speaker 1: the commemorative coins, I had the VH I like, that
Speaker 1: movie to me was huge. Oh my god, I can't
Speaker 1: imagine watch it all the time. I always like, people
Speaker 1: are like, that's not that good of a movie. And
Speaker 1: I went back and I watched it holds up. But
Speaker 1: the first twenty minutes is literally a highlight reel Michael
Speaker 1: Jordan's best I love the song. There's so much to
Speaker 1: live up to you in this. In the second one,
Speaker 1: it was it was like maybe the first time seeing
Speaker 1: a movie as a child gave me like complicated feelings.
Speaker 1: Because I went to the Indianapolis premiere No big deal,
Speaker 1: Um of Space Jam because my dad was working for
Speaker 1: some company that was making space Jam plate. So we
Speaker 1: got to go and it was like every that's what
Speaker 1: sucked about being in Indianapolis during that time, because it's
Speaker 1: like everyone knew, but it was like you ruined. Well,
Speaker 1: it's not even Indianapolis, like we were mentioned earlier. It
Speaker 1: seems like all the other space Jam players were great
Speaker 1: players who never got a championship because of the Bowls.
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of the greatest of all time, right,
Speaker 1: just don't have a ring because of that era Um
Speaker 1: and Megan. I mean, I don't know if we it's
Speaker 1: for a later episode, but I mean, maybe you should
Speaker 1: give Baxter and why you don't like Jordan because forever
Speaker 1: I always thought it was just because he beat the Pacers.
Speaker 1: He unfortunately, Michael Jordan and I share a birthday as well, uh,
Speaker 1: February seventeenth, and it's not great to have a nemesis
Speaker 1: share the day of your birth uh. And obviously I
Speaker 1: love sports so much. It's like maybe my number one
Speaker 1: passion behind like l early people, and so anytime that
Speaker 1: it's my birthday, if I turn on the television and
Speaker 1: it's a sports channel or sports show or anything it's
Speaker 1: all about Jordan's and so I'm almost able to not
Speaker 1: watch television on my birthday because of my hatred of him.
Speaker 1: But then also, you there's that story about you going
Speaker 1: to go see Michael Jordan's. Yeah, okay, this is the
Speaker 1: other story. I'm like, oh, it makes sense. So we
Speaker 1: were going to the Pacers Bulls game, and you just
Speaker 1: when you're a kid, you're like, I just want to
Speaker 1: see superstars. That's like the coolest, even now, like they
Speaker 1: sell season tickets sometimes in off markets by being like
Speaker 1: Lebron games, and like people want to go. You want
Speaker 1: to see the mega mega stars. So my brothers and
Speaker 1: dad went down early. They were doing a shoot around
Speaker 1: on the core, like not with the Pacers, but just
Speaker 1: like hey, little white kids, come and shoot, and so
Speaker 1: they were doing that, and then my mom, my great aunt,
Speaker 1: and my grandmother and I were going down later. I mean,
Speaker 1: we're bringing elders to this game. And as we were
Speaker 1: walking out of the house to go, my great aunt
Speaker 1: fell down like nine steps and broke her ankle and
Speaker 1: I had to run inside and call one and I
Speaker 1: was seven, and then the ambulance came and we all
Speaker 1: went to the hospital and my Dad and brothers stayed
Speaker 1: at the game and then like came afterwards and we're like,
Speaker 1: what happened? And I never got to see him play
Speaker 1: ever again. So I never experienced becks of sitting at
Speaker 1: an Indianapolis emergency room. So that makes sense. And I
Speaker 1: feel bad forever teasing you for not liking Jordan after
Speaker 1: her death. He's also a bad person, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I get when you were like, what's the other thing?
Speaker 1: I mean, like as dad, I don't know, I heard
Speaker 1: if people were like he would throw ball whip balls
Speaker 1: at people's heads at practice. Well that's the thing is
Speaker 1: like Jordan's I think is the greatest player ever, and
Speaker 1: that's really where it stops, because off the court, he
Speaker 1: does not touch what Lebron has done with like any
Speaker 1: of these new players, Like Jordan never used his platform
Speaker 1: for good. He used it to be dominant and be
Speaker 1: the best at basketball, which I guess there's nothing you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know that like the moral ethics behind it,
Speaker 1: but like, you know, you have a platform, you're famous,
Speaker 1: like speak up against you know, some of the wrong
Speaker 1: stuff going on in the world right now. And I
Speaker 1: think he would say that wasn't what was happening during
Speaker 1: that time. Um, there wasn't social media. There wasn't like
Speaker 1: there there wasn't this social like justice and that's like
Speaker 1: not really, Prince has been doing good. Muhammad was an
Speaker 1: athlete and an activist. So it's like, I don't really
Speaker 1: know if that. I know the nineties were like fun
Speaker 1: and silly, but like you could have done more for sure. Um, okay,
Speaker 1: on that note of shooting on him but praising him,
Speaker 1: We're going to take a quick break and we'll break
Speaker 1: back and we are back. C J is finishing his fruit.
Speaker 1: You have a little pinch, um, So I guess this
Speaker 1: is the time to do it. I do think one
Speaker 1: of the greatest duos of all time is Pipping and Jordan.
Speaker 1: That's the one I thought was first going to be
Speaker 1: said that. I was like, I'm not going to say it.
Speaker 1: I'll let the people who know the facts say it.
Speaker 1: You said it, because the thing is I have to
Speaker 1: be it's a classic duo. Yeah, I have to be helpful.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's I don't think it's good for
Speaker 1: me to be like no, not like naive to them.
Speaker 1: It's like they won six championships together. They are the
Speaker 1: greatest like they are the greatest, like pure sport duo.
Speaker 1: I think now I have one other duo, mad that
Speaker 1: is athletes, um that, but they're not doing something athletic together,
Speaker 1: just a game that we have to guess or you're
Speaker 1: just gonna tell us, um, I mean we can flush
Speaker 1: out this Jordan Pippen conversation or you're like, how many
Speaker 1: was Rodman? Therefore for three, so they didn't need a third.
Speaker 1: They were like so good to get they needed a
Speaker 1: third after that after Jordans came back, they needed something else.
Speaker 1: The league had gotten better. There was like the Sonics
Speaker 1: really good, the songs to come to six games in
Speaker 1: that first year back with Rodman, and that was the
Speaker 1: that was the best Bulls team of all time. So
Speaker 1: they need Dan for sure. And I do have a
Speaker 1: respect for that team in general, Like I love Phil Jackson,
Speaker 1: I love Steve kerr Um. There are like a lot
Speaker 1: of my Bulls stuffs incorporated with McDonald's well, because I
Speaker 1: used to have I would collect the Dennis Rodman cups
Speaker 1: where his hair would change colors. Those are so cool
Speaker 1: and so I do it. Just it breaks my heart
Speaker 1: that my favorite Pacers team had to play in that
Speaker 1: same era, But it's the same way. It breaks my
Speaker 1: heart that like my favorite Cults teams had to play
Speaker 1: in a Patriots era. Like I think I'm just a
Speaker 1: redheaded stepchild in so many ways, Like it's I it's
Speaker 1: a little like lovable loser. Like when the Red Sox
Speaker 1: broke the streak and then everyone was like yeah, and
Speaker 1: then they kept winning. It was like, oh, no, we
Speaker 1: don't like you anymore. So I do kind of like
Speaker 1: being an underdog. What what Pippen? If? What would what
Speaker 1: would have Pippen's career looked like without Jordan's um? It'd
Speaker 1: be tough. The thing is that when Jordan did retire,
Speaker 1: he still took him to the playoffs and pretty deep.
Speaker 1: But would he would he have been a viable number one?
Speaker 1: And I don't know if anyone would have recognized, oh
Speaker 1: they're one star away. There one Michael Jordan away. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think they win one with just
Speaker 1: Scottie Pippen, like Scott Pippen, they don't. But like if
Speaker 1: Scotty had been with Barkley, he did, he was it
Speaker 1: was there was a Rockets years in the Blazer's years
Speaker 1: um and then he never won another Championship. That that's
Speaker 1: the thing is like he was next he was alongside
Speaker 1: a team Clyde Drexler on the Rockets, and then he
Speaker 1: was along like ur Vitas Sabonis, Damon Stanemar on the
Speaker 1: Blazers and they never want another one. Um. I just
Speaker 1: don't think he has it. I do think it's important
Speaker 1: to point out that his wife, Oh my god, there's
Speaker 1: a dog above us, and the ceiling is glass and
Speaker 1: there was a little white pooty. Come on, and when
Speaker 1: you hear what I was about to point out that
Speaker 1: Scottie Pippen's wife was on Real Housewives in Miami, so Clarissa,
Speaker 1: and she's good friends with Kym Kardashian and I follow
Speaker 1: her on Instagram. She is looking great. She is so hot.
Speaker 1: They were they like separated and then reconciled. They were
Speaker 1: going to play on the Hawks or something after one Scotty,
Speaker 1: you know, and then the Future stuff, right, the rapper Future,
Speaker 1: he who was actually the ex husband of I think
Speaker 1: husband of Sierra, but he is. There is a love
Speaker 1: triangle between Scotty, Larsa and Future. All right, but that'll
Speaker 1: be again another episode Love Scandals, Greatest Love Scandals. But
Speaker 1: oh my god, that's that's so fun, Megan. That is
Speaker 1: very very nice of you. Yeah, I just think I
Speaker 1: have to be honest or it's or I'm delusional as
Speaker 1: a host. But I love someone that's great at assists because,
Speaker 1: like I've just gotten as the world the US women's
Speaker 1: soccer team, and there are people that are just like
Speaker 1: they're the best at getting the ball to someone that
Speaker 1: can score. And sometimes I feel that way and like
Speaker 1: when people do you like to write and writer's rooms
Speaker 1: or whatever, I'm like, I'm good at assist it. I'm
Speaker 1: good at like giving people premises and like that is
Speaker 1: those people get ignored and it's important to have someone
Speaker 1: that knows where the passes are and kind of get
Speaker 1: it to someone did punch up. Was a punch up guy.
Speaker 1: He's never the head writer, he's never the host. He
Speaker 1: was in the room for punch Up. He's a good
Speaker 1: room guy. Um. So my favorite, like I have to
Speaker 1: google the name of who I'm thinking, my favorite, my
Speaker 1: favorite athletic comedy duo is Barkley Shack. They They I like,
Speaker 1: they bring a joy to my life, um watching them,
Speaker 1: and like I would say, everybody, Arnie, every everybody that's
Speaker 1: on that crew, but like them together makes me so happy.
Speaker 1: I think it's the greatest show. I met Shack recently.
Speaker 1: I was at the Grove Nordstrum. I was holding a
Speaker 1: cheesecake factory to go bag and I'm happy he got
Speaker 1: to see me who I really am. But they are
Speaker 1: like my They are the sports duo that has like
Speaker 1: brought the most joy to my life in recent years.
Speaker 1: For sure. Is there even a second place like who? Well? Who?
Speaker 1: What other sports comedy duos are there? Um? I think
Speaker 1: Reggie and Spike Lee are I had a performative comedic duo. Wow,
Speaker 1: do they know they were comedic? Like? I think it
Speaker 1: seems like he does not have a sense of human
Speaker 1: I think he was. I think they were both like
Speaker 1: doing a little bit of a character for for the
Speaker 1: for the cameras. But yeah, I don't know if there's
Speaker 1: like a ton of um. I mean, I like when
Speaker 1: I like when mascots are like reading newspapers and I
Speaker 1: remember seeing this Boomer was reading a newspaper and Barkley
Speaker 1: pushed him off the stool. Listen, that's that's that's some hijinks. Yeah, alright, Lisa,
Speaker 1: what do you got? All Right? Well, I did go
Speaker 1: at your Google this. Um, I'm gonna say, Carrie Walsh
Speaker 1: and Misty May time Olympic gold medalists, and um, they've
Speaker 1: had a hundred and thirty three victories and unfortunately I'm
Speaker 1: reading this off the internet, but their prizes of all
Speaker 1: those victories is only two and a half million, And
Speaker 1: it's like, can you get they're the greatest beach volleyball
Speaker 1: players to that gold medalists? Yeah, I mean they're both
Speaker 1: and they've had children throughout those years and they you
Speaker 1: know those it looks like tar those stickers that athletes
Speaker 1: put on their bodies. Their bodies are covered in this
Speaker 1: I forgot what medium, but they had a funny joke
Speaker 1: of like what man convinced the girls that those are
Speaker 1: the outfits to wear, like the smallest outfit they were
Speaker 1: KINI the bikinis vikki much and like they all have
Speaker 1: like long pretty ponytail like braids. Um, and I did
Speaker 1: have to google like their exact names and stuff. But
Speaker 1: I remember watching, like I don't know about beach volleyball.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I remember watching their games and
Speaker 1: being so into you know, how the Olympics does the
Speaker 1: little bios to get you invested, and I yeah, they're
Speaker 1: just so winning and hard working. And I mean, just
Speaker 1: to put it in perspective, imagine like what you were
Speaker 1: four years ago. Imagine you winning the Goldmen over four
Speaker 1: years ago. I mean, I've done so many bad things
Speaker 1: are like slipped up in four years since then. Like
Speaker 1: to keep winning like that and that spending time is insane.
Speaker 1: It's crazy. And just to get that famous in a
Speaker 1: sport that's not that famous at all is pretty cool. Lisa,
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I was googling just to like
Speaker 1: refresh my memory and see like what I agreed with.
Speaker 1: And I googled yesterday like greatest sports duos. Venus and
Speaker 1: Serena were on a list, and so were they, So
Speaker 1: you are a sportswriter. Um what I did have one
Speaker 1: more about how winning they are. But whatever I wish,
Speaker 1: I I wish I knew about like a coach player
Speaker 1: thing or a picture catcher like those are so exciting.
Speaker 1: I just don't have the knowledge. But I love the
Speaker 1: idea of like um or like a boxer and a coach.
Speaker 1: I would love to bring that to the table. I
Speaker 1: think one that we are a coach player obviously is
Speaker 1: Brady and Belichick, but no, they and that's another well,
Speaker 1: you know, they like to cheat together, so that's pretty impressive.
Speaker 1: I do. It's one of those things to where it's
Speaker 1: like I do have respect for them to like, you
Speaker 1: are winning that much? Are you doing it in a
Speaker 1: way that I like? No, But if you were my
Speaker 1: coach player duo, I'd like you. So it's truly I'm
Speaker 1: just jealous of them, um, but I and I don't
Speaker 1: like them as people, so that's why they're not on
Speaker 1: my list personally. But I do think that they are
Speaker 1: one of the greatest duos definitely. I mean Phil Jackson
Speaker 1: Jordan's and then I think that's the great was about
Speaker 1: to say. As a kid, I went to Old Orchard
Speaker 1: Mall Barnes and Noble and Phil Jackson book signing. It
Speaker 1: was me and all the neighborhood kids. We all went,
Speaker 1: There's like, I have to find this one photo, but
Speaker 1: we're all just beyond you. Had my dream childhood. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought the way I thought of like to be
Speaker 1: a Russian immigrant. I mean I was a Filipino immigrant
Speaker 1: in Erie, Pennsylvania, so I mean but literally Chicago. We
Speaker 1: went to vacation to Chicago. I remember watching the did
Speaker 1: the magic and Bulls would go to the championships on
Speaker 1: the Eastern Carmens Championships twice. I remember watching at home
Speaker 1: and like jumping up and down with my friend like yeah,
Speaker 1: I remember just the excitement. I had a really cool
Speaker 1: shirt of the whole team with like the trophy and
Speaker 1: all of their faces like cartoons. You know. Um, the gear, Yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot of gears, a lot of gear. I'm a
Speaker 1: big I buy sports vintage sports stuff online and there
Speaker 1: is so much Bulls just stuff from that era because
Speaker 1: people were just buying it like crazy. Yeah. The The
Speaker 1: one real thing that I always will hold on too
Speaker 1: is I have the I have a baseball signed by
Speaker 1: the whole oh five World Series winning White Sox team
Speaker 1: except for Azzie. But I was given to me by
Speaker 1: my friend Gary. What's up? He really love sports. But
Speaker 1: that's why I went to see Phil Jackson to sign
Speaker 1: the book and stuff. Do you have this Phil Jackson book,
Speaker 1: The Hoop Dreams? It's yeah, it has to be somewhere.
Speaker 1: There's no way I would have gotten rid of that.
Speaker 1: That's but I did get rid of god my jumpsuit.
Speaker 1: But I just recently gave away a very important jumpsuit
Speaker 1: to Buffalo Exchange and like a very quick clean out.
Speaker 1: But maybe someone you really need to ask all I
Speaker 1: can imagine. And with beach volleyball, I just wanted to say,
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's basically it's down to YouTube and
Speaker 1: it's like communication has to be so good and jumping
Speaker 1: on sand that's hard. It's so hard. For eight years more,
Speaker 1: they won three Olympics. I thought it was so that's
Speaker 1: more than eighty do it? Oh? Wait? Oh? Got it?
Speaker 1: Got it? Three Olympics eight years Wow? Okay, no, it
Speaker 1: seems longer for but I mean the equivalent of an
Speaker 1: NBA or NFL team winning eight years straight, which does
Speaker 1: not happen. I also would love to say Simone Biles
Speaker 1: and the floor exercise of the beam. And before you
Speaker 1: got here, I was guessing you were going to say
Speaker 1: Carrie Drug and Bella Caroli, Bella Caroli. No. I like
Speaker 1: the Dominique Mocci. I love, I love, I mean I
Speaker 1: love thee down to Georgia and Dominic Muccio. I mean,
Speaker 1: I hope you didn't molest those girls because I loved
Speaker 1: that era duo of all time. Dominic Mucciano's parents. Yeah, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: c J. Yeah, there's so many now after Bugs Bunny,
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm thinking Ice skated, you know, so fun.
Speaker 1: My last one is it's not like I don't think
Speaker 1: it's like a solidified duo. But in eighties seven, Muggsy
Speaker 1: Bogues was drafted to the Washington Bullets and the other guy,
Speaker 1: big player on the Washington Bullets at the time was
Speaker 1: Minute Bowl. And for like a year, I've had this
Speaker 1: picture and you can google it, a picture of Minute
Speaker 1: Bowl and Muggsy Bogues next to each other. Um and
Speaker 1: just like those two on a team if you were,
Speaker 1: like if you were just a random casual BASMA fan
Speaker 1: and going that game, and you can see one of
Speaker 1: the shortest NBA players ever in one of the tallest,
Speaker 1: Like that's I don't know what doing tall mugs Bogus
Speaker 1: five five five or five three maybe, and I'm taller
Speaker 1: than an NBA and how tall is I believe he
Speaker 1: was seven seven? Okay, so we're talking two ft difference. Yes,
Speaker 1: I would like to point out that that is the
Speaker 1: background of your phone. I changed it, and the background
Speaker 1: of my phone is c J and me and his
Speaker 1: is a little tiny man and a big tall Man.
Speaker 1: Also this you know you can cut this out, but
Speaker 1: I love that all these people after you Tonight Show
Speaker 1: set are sending you photos of their nieces and nephews
Speaker 1: as that out. That's very nice, you know who. It's
Speaker 1: been a really like positive side effect. Yeah, and then
Speaker 1: everyone posting about it who knows me is just like, man,
Speaker 1: you got roasted on the Tonight Show. Well I did
Speaker 1: get to say Mountain Dunkmore my favorite on the Tonight Show,
Speaker 1: which is an actual shirt that you have. Who is
Speaker 1: on Mountain Dunkmore. It's Jordan's Barkley Pippen in David Robinson,
Speaker 1: which is controversial. Was David Robinson on the Spurs the
Speaker 1: malm No, that's no, no, he was the Admiral. The
Speaker 1: Admiral my favorite shirt. I mean I always I have
Speaker 1: one shirt. God, I have one shirt. Yes, she gave
Speaker 1: him on the Buffalo Change. It was Rodman and it's
Speaker 1: a Chairman of the boards on the bottom and it
Speaker 1: was like black and white and he was had his
Speaker 1: arms crossed and they had one it had ninety one
Speaker 1: with a worm crawling through. Um. I had an Aladdin
Speaker 1: journal um that had like a little key and when
Speaker 1: I found it, when my parents were moving. There was
Speaker 1: a page that said I love Jaln Rose, and then
Speaker 1: I'd flipped the page and written I love Reggie Miller,
Speaker 1: and I was the only thing in there. What did you?
Speaker 1: And we met? You met Jalen Rose at the SPS
Speaker 1: one year. I said, I said, you're my favorite Patients
Speaker 1: player of all time. You're opening was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: you almost moved next to me. Yeah, he did, like
Speaker 1: look at the house next to us, and then I
Speaker 1: remember my he we knew he wasn't going to move
Speaker 1: in because my dad was like, the house is kind
Speaker 1: of a lemon, Like listen, if I could get to
Speaker 1: his people, I tell him it's a bad investment. If
Speaker 1: there's If there's one thing you need to know about
Speaker 1: Megan and the Gailies as a whole is that no
Speaker 1: matter where they live, there will be a block away.
Speaker 1: The thing is, there's not a lot of places to
Speaker 1: live in Indianapolis. So I think anyone who's from Indianapolis
Speaker 1: has lived by an athlete. Yeah, and you will get cookies.
Speaker 1: If you're pro athlete, you play Indianapolis, you will get
Speaker 1: cookies from Peggy Gailey. And if you make the All
Speaker 1: Star team, you will get balloons on your mailbox at
Speaker 1: which must be illegal. No, it definitely could fall into
Speaker 1: stocking or or kind. But when it's a grandma, as
Speaker 1: a grandma ever stalked someone, maybe, but like, don't send
Speaker 1: her to jail. Oh, I have a little, big, little
Speaker 1: hope we could say, but I don't know, just off
Speaker 1: camera over well, I mean it's done. I thought of
Speaker 1: a new one. This is untraditional, but I would say
Speaker 1: Sue Bird and Megan Rapino. Yeah, naked on the cover
Speaker 1: of that Body's issue. Fucking both such winning champions, and um,
Speaker 1: I just love all of Megan's speeches and how aware
Speaker 1: she is of everything. And they're just both like hot, cool,
Speaker 1: dress awesome, love each other and I hope they go
Speaker 1: to the distance. And I didn't know that when I
Speaker 1: mean I already I like Sue Bird back in the day,
Speaker 1: Like I had a crush on Sue Bird, and then
Speaker 1: I also knew her as just like a really great dresser.
Speaker 1: And then I didn't know that she was with Megan,
Speaker 1: and I was like, wow, now when she's played professionally
Speaker 1: for so long, did either of you ever think Sue
Speaker 1: Bird was related to Larry Bird? Okay, I did too, Um.
Speaker 1: I did listen to a really fascinating podcast yesterday about
Speaker 1: Sue and Diana Trossi playing in Russia for this spy, UM,
Speaker 1: a former KGB stop spy who then became this oligarch
Speaker 1: and UM a lot of that, like great dressing I
Speaker 1: think was bought by this man. It's really really cool.
Speaker 1: They have love for this guy for sure. Um. But
Speaker 1: it was one of the thirty for thirty podcasts in
Speaker 1: it and Sue and Diana awesome. I love. We went
Speaker 1: to the Lakers home opener and the w NBA stars
Speaker 1: sat courtside and I loved it. Yeah, and I do
Speaker 1: love that Dwayne Waite and a lot of RANBA players
Speaker 1: do speak up for the w n B A and
Speaker 1: like the players, and that really makes me happy as well.
Speaker 1: I really wanted I would love to go to the
Speaker 1: game as well. Yeah, we live here, definitely should. I
Speaker 1: sat courtside of the Sparks game. What show was this?
Speaker 1: I don't remember, but I texted you where it's a
Speaker 1: scripted show, but they who is Reggie's sister? And then yeah,
Speaker 1: so like they were like, oh basketball, But I don't
Speaker 1: remember what show? As I remember, I texted you immediately
Speaker 1: I think one like Reggie is. I think he is
Speaker 1: as good as he is because of Sheryl. Absolutely, like
Speaker 1: you hear about they just used to battle growing up
Speaker 1: taller than him. I think she's older than him, so
Speaker 1: she had height on him and girls grow. They talked
Speaker 1: about Cheryl since she was playing in like I think
Speaker 1: elementary school, and she might be arguably one of the
Speaker 1: best female basketball players of all time. Oh absolutely, I
Speaker 1: think she's won the greatest female athletes of all I
Speaker 1: think if the w n b A existed around the
Speaker 1: time that Cheryl was playing her prime, it would be
Speaker 1: a much bigger sport. Like the fact Cheryl is like
Speaker 1: also one of the greatest broadcasters, like she's been around
Speaker 1: for so long. But like people forget that's why Reggie
Speaker 1: is so good because he had to beat his siblings,
Speaker 1: who happened to be the one of the greatest basketball
Speaker 1: players of all time and a woman. Yeah, and I
Speaker 1: have a question, did Alan Iverson have a pip in
Speaker 1: during his why they didn't win? He just had himself,
Speaker 1: just had himself. But that's what also why he was
Speaker 1: like so renowned was because he had to play thesee
Speaker 1: did it alone? Brought the Sixers to the final freshman
Speaker 1: year a volley basketball team at Nilsdorth High School. We
Speaker 1: all wanted to funk Allen Iverson. Alan Iverson was just
Speaker 1: like on all of our lockers and all of our
Speaker 1: minds at all time. I love that that was the
Speaker 1: look you went for because I was just a girl
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis going for the same look quietly like I
Speaker 1: like those corn grows so cool. This is podcast. I
