Speaker 3: just okay. Truth be told.

83
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: I've had one cup, but I usually I usually have

84
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: about three cups of coff Wow, And well let me

85
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: tell you why. So my dogs, right like, they sleep

86
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: in my room, not my bed.

87
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 3: I'm not that person.

88
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: They cannot be in my bed, but they sleep in

89
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: my room. And the crazy ass thing is so the

90
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: boy dog, he's the first one up every morning.

91
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 3: Yep.

92
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: So around six o'clock he comes to my side and

93
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: he never goes to my husband's side unless I'm out

94
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: of town. Anyway, he comes to my side and the

95
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:44,559
Speaker 1: first bark is like this, right, like, are you awake?

96
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: If I don't respond, the second bark is so I

97
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: usually lay there until he gets to the third one,

98
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: and then the third one is the like.

99
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 3: Gitchow ass up me at all?

100
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: So I get up, I let him out, and she

101
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: never wants to go when he goes, so I go back.

102
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: Sometimes I get back in bed right if it's six

103
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning, and I lie down for about

104
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: another ten minutes. Then she comes over like, okay, I'm

105
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: ready now. And this morning was one of those mornings

106
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: when I was like, you little bit, I know, like

107
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 1: I do not have time for this. Yeah, So I

108
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: started with coffee at six thirty this morning, okay six

109
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: thirty this morning, and then I had to have another one.

110
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 3: And that's why my third cup, I'm like, do I

111
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 3: really need it?

112
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: No, because it's gonna require me to get up out

113
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: of this comfortable seat and make it.

114
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 3: Okay.

115
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 2: Now, when you add the additional contexts, it makes sense.

116
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 2: I probably too would be like forget this cup of coffee.

117
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 2: I'm also the one that will door dash a cup

118
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 2: of coffee. Don't judge me, I absolutely will. I will

119
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,440

121
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 3: You brought you up, but you brought you up.

122
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 2: So DoorDash ruined ruined my life. Unless DoorDash wants to

123
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 2: be a sponsor for the show, than absolutely please come

00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,880

125
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 2: life because I no longer want to do anything anymore

126
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 2: as it relates to cooking or well, cooking not so

127
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: much like I don't really care so much. It's more

128
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 2: so time when it comes to cooking more than like

Speaker 2: the drama own, messy Mondays and sh this week it was.

158
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,119
Speaker 3: That damn US Open.

159
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 2: Everybody had drama and nobody brought it like my girl,

160
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 2: Taylor Townsend or brought it.

161
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 3: Okay.

162
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 2: I am so proud of her, but also I aspire

163
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 2: to be her because the way she handled so for

164
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 2: anyone who's been living under a rock recently.

165
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 3: And have missed that.

166
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 2: At the end of her match with Isapanco, she went

167
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 2: up to say good match, shake her hand like they

168
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 2: do at the end of every match, and Sis was

169
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 2: like no, like basically she didn't even respond to her immediately,

170
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 2: and that's when Taylor was like, wow, like this is

171
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 2: what we're doing, Like you like this, this is how

172
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 2: we're acting.

173
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 3: And she just turned around and started going off like,

174
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 3: you know, I don't have.

175
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 2: To do anything, and when we play in the US,

176
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 2: this is how you play. You have a little education,

177
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 2: little class, you're the worst, dispecful.

178
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: Like no, it wasn't it wasn't even little class. She said,

179
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: you're classlest and you have no education.

180
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what she said. So they have a translator.

181
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: Wait and wait until you play outside the US, Like

182
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 1: what the fuck does that mean?

183
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 2: Yes, so I found it doesn't matter what country I'm playing,

184
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 2: and I'm still gonna whoop your ass. And I found

185
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 2: I found a website that had a translator for the video,

186
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 2: and the translator said, you have no education, you have

187
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 2: no class, you are a disrespectful player, and then Towsend responded,

188
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 2: according to the translation, taking all instead of faking it,

189
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 2: that's okay. You can say whatever you want to say,

190
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 2: but you need to learn how to take a loss better,

191
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 2: but thank you so much, great job, great play, and

192
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 2: continue to smile brightly and wave at all of her fans.

193
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 2: And I was just blown away first off by you

194
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 2: have no class and no education, and then to come

195
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 2: back with the response later on your Instagram and be like, oh,

196
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 2: I didn't understand the way that some words or some

197
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 2: things are taken differently in the United States, because I

198
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 2: believe she's from Latvia, which is a different country in

199
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 2: Eastern Europe, and so it's like, I didn't understand that the.

200
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 3: Can you see my face right now?

201
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 2: It's just like you ain't got to be from America

202
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 2: to understand telling somebody that they have no class and

203
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 2: no education.

204
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 3: It's disrespectful as hell. Taylor. You are commendous this because

205
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 3: I'd have been like, Yo, who the fuck you? Who

206
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 3: are you talking to? Man?

207
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 2: Man?

208
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 3: When Queen says who talk to and listen. She handled

209
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 3: that whole situation.

210
00:10:54,760 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: Way better than I would have, Like it's one thing

211
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: to say the words right like, you're you have no education,

212
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 1: you have no class, all the things right like, and

213
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: don't come back and pretend like you didn't know what

214
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: what that meant or what you were saying, but let

215
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: me just tell you when it would have just gone

216
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: to whole different level, Yeah, levels to this where it

217
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: was go on to a whole different level with me

218
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: when she decided to put her finger in her face.

219
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, you would have walked.

220
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: You would have I don't condone violence, but you would

221
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: have walked off the court with Forore with one fingerless nubs,

222
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: one fingerless nubs. Like like you talk about disrespectful, that's

223
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: one thing you don't do. You like, you know, you

224
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: can say what you want to say their words and

225
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna come back.

226
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 3: And all the things.

227
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: But when you start like really getting in my space,

228
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: and now you want to put your finger in my

229
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: like I'm a kid.

230
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 2: All you needed to do was say all right, thanks, yeah,

231
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 2: and then you could have took your ass in the

232
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 2: back and talked all the shit you wanted about Taylor.

233
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,359
Speaker 2: You could have went in it back and said whatever

234
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 2: you wanted. But you did that out You basically showed

235
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 2: your ass out there on that court.

236
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 3: And what I love about.

237
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 2: This entire situation is that all it did was just

238
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 2: really galvanized people to be behind her for the remainder

239
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 2: of the tournament. Like she ended up adding like one

240
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 2: hundred thousand plus additional followers on Instagram. And I remember

241
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago because I followed tennis well

242
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,079
Speaker 2: enough to know the players, and there was a video

243
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 2: that she made a couple of weeks ago where she

244
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 2: was asking people do you know who Taylor Townson is?

245
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 3: Like, do you know who Taylor Townsend is?

246
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 2: And people were walking around like there were a couple

247
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 2: who were like, yes, you, but most people were like, no,

248
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 2: I don't know who that is. So you basically that

249
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 2: you basically went people not knowing your face to be

250
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 2: coming yes.

251
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 3: To being her on the show. Come on the show, Taylor.

252
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 2: So yeah, I just wanted to make sure that we,

253
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 2: you know, gave her her flowers and just let her know, like,

254
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 2: you know, she's still playing in the US Open. She's

255
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 2: on the number one doubles team in the in the world,

256
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 2: so they're still playing. But yeah, if y'are the the

257
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 2: US Open is always. It's always I've been saying that

258
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 2: I was gonna go. I've never been me either. We

259
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 2: either we need to make that happen. So we need

260
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 2: to make that happen. Speaking of not going, it's a

261
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 2: few people who about to be sitting at home right

262
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 2: with us in a couple of weeks because they asked

263
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 2: to they ain't going.

264
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 3: To the playoffs. They about to be.

265
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 2: They about to be right here with us looking at

266
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 2: the US Open because they season is about to be over. Yes,

267
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 2: we we aren't talking about the w NBA playoffs that

268
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 2: are getting ready to kick off. And yeah, it's a

269
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 2: couple of teams that we know ain't making it, but

270
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 2: it's about to be another team that ain't gonna make it,

271
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 2: and we might not know exactly who they are, but

272
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, it's gonna be a race.

273
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 2: And so let's just go ahead and take this thing

274
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 2: to the next level, all right.

275
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: So, since before we go hop in the w stuff,

276
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: because it's a lot to talk about over there too,

277
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: I want to go back and ask you a question.

278
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: I want to get your thoughts on this because I've

279
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: read a lot and I heard people talking about it. Yes,

280
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: so first of all, to call someone class list and

281
00:14:56,040 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: not uneducated in all the things is disrespectful. Let alone

282
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: to do it to a black woman, that was it right?

283
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: Because we hear these things all the time. Let alone

284
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: in this this environment in this country, that we're living

285
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: in today, right.

286
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 3: So don't do that like you you knew what you

287
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 3: were doing. You did. Here's my question to you. Do

288
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 3: you think.

289
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: Had it not been a black woman, that she would

290
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: have said those things?

291
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 3: Okay?

292
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 2: So I have asked myself that same question, And a

293
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 2: part of me wants to say, yeah, because I've heard

294
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 2: other tennis players just over the last week say that,

295
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 2: you know, JULANEA. Austapinka has been saying has a trash

296
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 2: record of saying some foul shit, right, So a part

297
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 2: of me wants to say she may have said, she

298
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 2: could have said it to somebody else.

299
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 3: Sure, I don't buy that you don't know.

300
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 2: That specifically using the language uneducated and no class and

301
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 2: disrespectful to a black woman of all people. I don't

302
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,239
Speaker 2: buy that you don't know the context or the connotation

303
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 2: that comes behind it. Granted, you know, I understand you're

304
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 2: not American, but our struggle ain't just happening here in

305
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 2: America number one, And the things that have been done

306
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 2: and said to African Americans has been publicized. Please see

307
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 2: twenty twenty when people were holding Black Lives Matter rallies

308
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 2: over in London and Germany and France.

309
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 3: So we're not about to sit here and act like

310
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 3: we don't know. Like, you're not stupid.

311
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 2: You've been playing on American soil long enough to know

312
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 2: what the hell be going on over here. So while

313
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 2: I do think she probably would have use that language, regardless,

314
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 2: I don't buy that you didn't understand the connotation behind

315
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 2: it because you were talking to Taylor girl.

316
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 3: No, bae, that was my thought, Bae. Yeah, you knew

317
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 3: what she was doing. Okay, Yeah, Taylor, keep doing you, boo.

318
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 2: We see you keep doing it, keep doing you, keep

319
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 2: doing you for real, And I'm serious.

320
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 3: You do need to come on the show.

321
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 2: We're serious, We're serious. Yes, we're very very serious. Needs

322
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 2: to come on the show.

323
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 3: But okay, So we are at the.

324
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 2: Wildest part of the season, right, wildest part, And so

325
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 2: before we get off into the conversation, I want to

326
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 2: make sure that everyone understands where the standings are in

327
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 2: the WNBA as of today and as of this recording.

328
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, so right now.

329
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 2: The Minnesota Links are in first place and they have

330
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 2: clinched the spot and they have also clinched home court.

331
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 3: So it is what it is.

332
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 2: Throughout the playoffs, they are most they are they finna

333
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 2: be the number one seed, period.

334
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 3: It is what it is, yeah, all right.

335
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 2: Number two is the Las Vegas Aces, who are tied

336
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 2: with number three the Atlanta Dream, so anything can happen there.

337
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 2: Both teams have clinched, but the position of the number

338
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 2: two seed is to love for grabs, all right. Number

339
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 2: four is the Phoenix Mercury, who have clinched a couple

340
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 2: of days ago, and last in the most recent matchup

341
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 2: for New York, they have now clinched a playoff spot

342
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 2: as well, So one, two, three, four, five is locked up.

343
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 2: Where things get interesting is six, seven and eight.

344
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 3: Okay.

345
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 2: Currently, the Valkyries are sitting at number six, the Seattle

346
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 2: Storm is sitting at number seven, the Indiana Fever is

347
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 2: sitting at number eight, and the Los Angeles Sparks are.

348
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 3: Only on the law.

349
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Sparks are right there on Indiana's head. They

350
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 2: are a game out of taking the eight spot, so

351
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 2: they're still very much alive in this matchup, and they're

352
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 2: on a two game win streak and Indiana is on

353
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 2: a two game losing streak, so that can get messy. Washington, Connecticut, Dallas,

354
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 2: and Chicago are already eliminated.

355
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 3: From contention.

356
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna tell you why that might not matter

357
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 2: for a second, because Atlanta is trying to get that

358
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 2: number two spot and they got to see Connecticut two

359
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 2: more times before the end of this, and I get it.

360
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 2: They got ten wins, but Connecticut playing really well for

361
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 2: the most part.

362
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 3: They're playing very well, and I don't know, they're playing

363
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 3: very well. Yeah, so they could they could trying to

364
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 3: be the spoiler. They are there.

365
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 2: They are the team of the eliminated teams. They are

366
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 2: the team that could spoil the most.

367
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: Like, there are certain games and I know Chicago's out

368
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 1: of it, but even Chicago, there are certain games where

369
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 1: they start out and I'm like, oh, Chicago is trying

370
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: to be a spoiler too, But they got.

371
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 2: A match and then yeah, and then it's great, which

372
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 2: is interesting. So I wanted to talk about today, not

373
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 2: necessarily the entirety of the playoff picture, because I think

374
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 2: we pretty much assumed where certain teams were gonna fall.

375
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 2: But I think it's also fair to say that there

376
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 2: are a couple of teams. It's specifically the team sitting

377
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 2: currently in seven and eight that we got some real

378
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 2: concerns about.

379
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 3: Right now, we know as it relates.

380
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 2: To Indiana, they've been dealing with some devastating injuries. No Caitlin,

381
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 2: no Sydney, no Airy, no Sophie is up there. They

382
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 2: didn't add it Otysey siums, they didn't added aerial powers.

383
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 2: Now they just recently added Shay Petty. Like it is,

384
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 2: there's a lot going on with with with the Indiana

385
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 2: and it's understandable that they would have taken some ls

386
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 2: try like and I mean over the course of this

387
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 2: part of the season, not necessarily over the last couple

388
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 2: of weeks, but just it's understandable that they would have

389
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 2: had that they would have dropped because for the most

390
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 2: part they were sitting firmly like fourth and fifth this season,

391
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 2: and then after the All Star break is where it

392
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 2: started to get a little crazy. So there's that Seattle,

393
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 2: I think surprises the hell out of me. I don't

394
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 2: know what to make of this Seattle team. I don't

395
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 2: know what to make of his sists because I look

396
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 2: at the roster, and the roster should tell me on

397
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 2: paper that this should be a top four, top.

398
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 3: Five team easily easily.

399
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 2: And I see them lose to Connecticut, I see them

400
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 2: get blown out by listen.

401
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: So they beat Minnesota. They beat Minnesota and then they lost.

402
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: Was it the spark was La? It was either La

403
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 1: or Dallas.

404
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 3: What are the two teams? And I was just like,

405
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 3: I don't think it was that. I think And I

406
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 3: was just like, what are we? Yeah? Yeah, you don't

407
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 3: know what to make of this team?

408
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 2: And why that devastates me, besides the fact that y'all

409
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 2: got Necka and you got Skylar and you added Britney

410
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 2: Sykes that I thought was going to be a great

411
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 2: backup petition at the guard position.

412
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: Gabby Williams, Jabby Williams almost single handily beat the Olympic team.

413
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, Gabby, assie what I'm confused? I'm confused.

414
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 2: But why this devastates me is because I am a

415
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 2: fan of Noel Quinn at head coach. I am a

416
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 2: fan of Noel quill lover dealery and we you and

417
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 2: I specifically had a whole entire show at the beginning

418
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 2: of this season and at the beginning of our show

419
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 2: season as it relates to the changes in head coaching

420
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 2: and how women are not hired in the open positions,

421
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 2: how black women have somehow vanished from the head coaching world.

422
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 2: And the only and longest tenured outside of Cheryl Reeve

423
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 2: head coach in the league is probably about to have

424
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 2: her seat.

425
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 3: Question. All right, we had this conversation beginning of the season.

426
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 1: You know, I was like, okay, Seattle right, like making moves,

427
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: Seattle will finish in the top three four right in

428
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: my mind and on paper to your point, they should have. Yeah,

429
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: So as the season goes on, like people say, what

430
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: you want to say when you're having investigations, right, So

431
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: they had one last year and I do believe was

432
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: there another one during this It.

433
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 3: Was like the beginning the beginning of this year. Yeah,

434
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 3: Like that takes.

435
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: A toll on you mentally from a coach and staff,

436
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: but also players.

437
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 3: My thing is this.

438
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 1: I think both times it came back there was they

439
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,679
Speaker 1: didn't find anything. Well, what the hell is going on

440
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: in Seattle? So then you have players who are like

441
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 1: I want out, And I get it. Maybe you want

442
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 1: out because you're not playing and you think you should

443
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 1: be playing.

444
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 3: More so you want out.

445
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:39,959
Speaker 1: And I think they had two players this year there

446
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: was like I want out of here, Alicia Clark, and

447
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: yes it's like I want out. People speculated why whatever.

448
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,719
Speaker 1: But my thing is it keeps coming back like players

449
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: are getting cussed out. I don't know what's going on

450
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 1: in Seattle. I'm like you. I'm a huge Noel Quinn fan,

451
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: always have been. I'm a big Pokey Chapman Poky Chapman. Yes,

452
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: love them, But as a black woman who played the game,

453
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: who now just is a fan and watches a game,

454
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 1: I don't want to see Noel Quinn in this situation.

455
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: She is the only black female head coach we have

456
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: left in the league.

457
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 3: Yeap.

458
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, And with the expectations coming into this season that Seattle,

459
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 1: you know, would finish higher, I guess in the playoffs.

460
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 3: Here's the thing says they're not. It's not a given

461
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 3: that they will even make the playoffs. Sure, ain't at And.

462
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 1: To me, if they don't make the playoffs that I

463
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 1: don't think that's a very good look for Noel because

464
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 1: people already calling for her head roll the season.

465
00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 2: Yeah right, Seattle has two games left to they have

466
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 2: and who do they play? They have New York on

467
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 2: and they have Golden State.

468
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: Mmm winning the games, but they're both losable games to.

469
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 3: It depends on what Seattle Storm team shows up.

470
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 2: It's as accurate and let's to be fair, because I

471
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 2: don't want to date the show per se. But we

472
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 2: keep it up buck, y'all know, sometimes we record a

473
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 2: little bit in advance, and both of these games will

474
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 2: probably have been played by the time y'all hear this episode,

475
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 2: so we'll see if they actually do pull it out

476
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 2: or not. But both of those games are winnable as

477
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 2: they are losable, specifically the game against Golden State.

478
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'm with you. I'm with you, sis that je.

479
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 2: I hate to see Noel Quinn in this situation because

480
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 2: I don't like to call for nobody's job, and I

481
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 2: definitely don't want to call for I'm not calling for

482
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:10,719
Speaker 2: her job.

483
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 3: I don't nobody misconstrued what I'm Saying'm not calling for her.

484
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 2: Job, but I'm saying something is going on somewhere, whether

485
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 2: that's I don't know, if there's a disconnected communication and

486
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 2: coaching style. Now, if there is just a lack of effort,

487
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 2: if you know, players have checked out, If you know,

488
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 2: if y'all are giving the effort and it's still not clicking,

489
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 2: the inconsistency still exists, then maybe another roster shakeup is inevitable.

490
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 2: But something is not right and I am highly surprised

491
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:49,239
Speaker 2: at this team sitting in the number seven spot and

492
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 2: not fully invested in a possible playoff. Like LA looks

493
00:27:54,480 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 2: good right now. They look like a dangerous team. Rakia Jacks, Yeah, Kia.

494
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: Ricka, Rickia, come on the show. But Golden State looks

495
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 1: good right now too. Yes, I just love how hard

496
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: they play every possession. They're never out of a gate.

497
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: It just Veronica Burton most improved player. I'm just putting

498
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: that out there. I don't get a vote, I'm just

499
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 1: saying I love the But listen, the two games at

500
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: the time of this recording, the two games that Seattle

501
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 1: has left and they're at home. You got to find

502
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: a way to win. You have to find a way

503
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: to win both of those games. And here's the thing

504
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: for me with New York, right I know at the

505
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: time of this recording, JJ and Tash just came back,

506
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: Sabrina still yeah, but like even New York right now, Yeah,

507
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: you want to get your players back, get everybody healthy.

508
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 3: But that's a very winnable game for Seattle.

509
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 2: It is it is, it is. It is a winnable

510
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 2: game for Seattle. But that might be the one game

511
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 2: where I'm like, that could go either way because it

512
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 2: really just depends on which New York team shows up, right,

513
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 2: And I don't necessarily mean the players on the court,

514
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 2: because I didn't seen Stewie and JJ and them be

515
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 2: on the court and not look well like still look

516
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 2: like they're trying to find a rhythm. So that's a

517
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 2: winnable game, but it could go either way. Golden State, however,

518
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 2: what I don't know about that one being a winnable

519
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 2: game because they're fighting for a playoff position too, Like

520
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 2: they're not locked into the sixty. So like these are

521
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 2: games that matter, Like these two games are games that matter.

522
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 2: They're not just frivolous games to close the season out.

523
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 2: They actually all have playoff implications for the teams that

524
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 2: Seattle is playing. That's dangerous for Seattle, Like you'd have

525
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 2: been better off just having a team with nothing to lose.

526
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 2: You got teams that really got something on the line.

527
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, that are that are coming in knowing we gotta

528
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 3: win this game.

529
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 2: We gotta win this game, right, and you go, and

530
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 2: then you got La that's out there that just beats you,

531
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 2: but are out here trying to fight to take somebody spot, right,

532
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 2: Like it's a very so now I'm looking at the

533
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 2: mental aspect of where they are right now, just mentally,

534
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 2: you know, even if you get in, like I don't

535
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 2: know what your chances are at a deep run. And

536
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 2: that's unfortunate because Neka to me has had an incredible season.

537
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, she had oh my god, just like

538
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,719
Speaker 2: not talked about enough, I mean, and part of that

539
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 2: is part of the inconsistency of Seattle, which is why

540
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 2: but not talked about enough Knicka ball this year.

541
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: But since listen, listen, if you're Seattle, you can't go

542
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: into Minnesota down by twenty in the first half and

543
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: you come back and you beat Minnesota on their home court.

544
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 3: Shame on Minnesota for letting that hap y'all.

545
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:16,719
Speaker 1: But you can't go in there and win that game

546
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: and then go home a home dame thing and let.

547
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 3: LA beat you.

548
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 2: The inconsistency, Yeah, the inconsistency is scary.

549
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 3: All right.

550
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this, because I think Golden State

551
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 2: is in. I don't see a world in which they're

552
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 2: not in, but Seattle, Indiana Angels well, yes, but LA

553
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 2: is not in yet though. But I'm saying, like, betweeny,

554
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 2: Seattle and Indiana. Yep, which of the two if neither

555
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 2: of them, if one of them falls and La takes

556
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 2: a spot, who do you think is that team that

557
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 2: is the most vulnerable for that ac I know that

558
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 2: they're closer to Indiana, but as you and I just

559
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 2: discussed for fifteen minutes, Seattle ain'tven doing themselves no favors.

560
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: So so, how many games does Indiana have left?

561
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 2: So Indiana has three games? Well, no, yes, I'm right,

562
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 2: Indiana has three games left. They play Chicago, they play

563
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 2: oh god, they play Chicago, they at home, they play

564
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 2: what No, Yeah, they play Chicago at home. They play

565
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 2: Washington on the road, and then they play Minnesota to

566
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 2: end the season.

567
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 3: Minnesota at home or on the road at home.

568
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: Oh okay, listen, there is a part of me, a

569
00:32:58,920 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: big part of me.

570
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 3: That says.

571
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: Kelsey Mitchell is gonna find a way. Mh She's gonna

572
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: find a way. And listen, Indiana, they have played Minnesota

573
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: very closely, without Caitlin, without uh Sid, without Airy. There's

574
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: something about that matchup that Indiana just loves playing Minnesota.

575
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 3: Right. I am there with you.

576
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: I think Golden State's in Golden State's gonna find a

577
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: way they're gonna be in.

578
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 3: Los Angeles is.

579
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: Really playing well right now, and I just think I

580
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: think there's something going on with Seattle mentally, emotionally. I

581
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 1: don't know what it is. I can't put my finger

582
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: on it. But even if Seattle did find a way

583
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 1: to finish in that seventh or eighth spot, I don't

584
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 1: know what kind of run they're going to have in

585
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,280
Speaker 1: the playoffs. So part of me is like Seattle's out.

586
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 3: In LA's in Okay, so.

587
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 1: Huh, don't ask me where and how and where they finish,

588
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:31,720
Speaker 1: but I do I think Indiana finds a way, especially

589
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 1: with their schedule right they got Chicago at home, and

590
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 1: Chicago's already out, so who knows how they're gonna play?

591
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: Who's gonna play? Washington's already out, so who knows? Right

592
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 1: The only game that I would be like would be

593
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: a probably a tough game for them would be Minnesota.

594
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 1: And even in saying that, with Minnesota already clinched, you know,

595
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 1: getting ready for the playoffs.

596
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 3: Who knows how much you know fee will play.

597
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:03,399
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I think I think Indiana will find

598
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: a way.

599
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:09,399
Speaker 2: Okay, I too think that Indiana will find a way.

600
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 2: And I don't think seyl reeve care. I mean, she

601
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 2: played FIEF for forty minutes up. I'm sorry, she played

602
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 2: FIFA for thirty minutes up forty you'd be like dog like,

603
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 2: take a sh don't give a damn figure out right.

604
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 3: I forgot out here, but I forgot. I forgot what

605
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,240
Speaker 3: we're talking about. We forgot who were talking about.

606
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 2: But I probably I might regret saying this, but I

607
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 2: think at the end of the day, Seattle will find

608
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 2: a way to come through in LA. As good as

609
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 2: they are playing, might still end up on the outside

610
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 2: looking in.

611
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:57,280
Speaker 3: Who does it? Who's LA have left? LA has?

612
00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 2: I think they have a couple of home games, but

613
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 2: let me be sure they have quite a few games left.

614
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 2: They actually play Atlanta twice, they play Dallas, they play Phoenix,

615
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,320
Speaker 2: and they play.

616
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 3: Las Vegas.

617
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: Oh okay, so LA, before I answered your question, Well, here's.

618
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 2: The thing though, they play some playoff teams. So they

619
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 2: play Atlanta, which is a playoff team. Phoenix is a

620
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 2: price right. They play Atlanta twice, which are two playoff teams.

621
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 2: They play Vegas, which is a play like. They the

622
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 2: only non playoff team that they have left on their schedule.

623
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:44,399
Speaker 3: Is Dallas.

624
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 1: Mm hm.

625
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 2: It's not about the matchup though, because I think they

626
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 2: could still they could still pull off some WS against

627
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 2: these teams. I mean, Atlanta's got a lot of games

628
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 2: in these last few weeks. Told you they play Connecticut twice.

629
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,879
Speaker 3: They play twice, like they got.

630
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,720
Speaker 2: They got a decent little schedule, so they could be tired,

631
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 2: you know, they might want to want to rest.

632
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 3: Who knows, but some fatigue could play a role there.

633
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, it's the Phoenix

634
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 2: in Vegas matchup that's interesting to me. If they clinch

635
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 2: then if they've already clinched, but I'm sorry if they

636
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 2: like clinch their seating. Those are probably the two teams

637
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 2: that I wonder if they will play everybody or you know,

638
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:31,839
Speaker 2: whatever happens there.

639
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 3: And they might given that they know that la.

640
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 2: Is still trying to get in, so they might be like, no,

641
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 2: like we need the we need the competition. I don't

642
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 2: know they Vegas is just like Phoenix in a way

643
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,280
Speaker 2: of trying to make sure that they let their stars

644
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 2: shine to get this MVP vote up. So anything could

645
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 2: happen in that regard, right, But I just think the

646
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 2: road ahead of Seattle while still can be difficult, maybe

647
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 2: a little easier than the road ahead of LA and we'll.

648
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:09,839
Speaker 3: Find a way. But here's my butt. Mm hmm.

649
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 2: If there is a team, if there is, if I

650
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 2: had to pick, if I had to gun in my

651
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 2: head and I gotta pick one, yeah, it just might

652
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,720
Speaker 2: be Indiana.

653
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 3: In or out out.

654
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 2: If I had to pick one between the two, it

655
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 2: just might be Indiana.

656
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 3: I don't know.

657
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 2: Chicago feels like like these like we just talked about

658
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 2: these teams Washington.

659
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 3: I think they probably got Minnesota. I think they match

660
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 3: up will.

661
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, But because it is Chicago, right, it is Chicago.

662
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 2: Regardless of whether Caitlin's playing Angel play, it is still

663
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 2: Chicago and Indiana, right, And so of course Chicago's going

664
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 2: to go in and be like, now we're gonna we're

665
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 2: gonna mess up some ship for y'all.

666
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 3: You got a great point, just yeah, yeah, I just

667
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 3: worry about I'm thinking. I'm thinking about Cam and Angel,

668
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 3: Like you got Natasha Howard down there, and you got

669
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 3: Aliyah for sure, But like Cam and Angel breaking some

670
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 3: they've been breaking some heat over the le Like the

671
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 3: schedule doesn't reflect it, but they've been breaking some heat. Yeah, No,

672
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 3: you're right, you're a correct with that one.

673
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 2: There we go like it's it's that might be a

674
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 2: that might be a problem.

675
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 3: I don't know.

676
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 1: I just know the season this year with this who's

677
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 1: still trying to make the playoffs because usually by now.

678
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 3: You pretty much know who the.

679
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: Eight teams are gonna be. But that ain't that ain't

680
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 1: the case this year at all.

681
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 2: That ain't think that ain't the case this year at all.

682
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 2: So everybody kick it with us when we come back.

683
00:39:55,560 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 2: We will wrap up this conversation. And I got a

684
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 2: quick question for Cheryl. Stay tuned, Suyl, quick question for you,

685
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:21,520

690
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 2: New York. I don't know if you're gonna be in Vegas.

Speaker 1: Well, probably Vegas, just because it's Vegas.

694
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 3: And that's an easy trip for me.

695
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 1: That's a real short trip for me from home to Vegas.

696
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 3: But I was up in Atlanta.

697
00:40:56,239 --> 00:41:02,600

Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever seen a game in Phoenix

702
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 2: as a fan.

703
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:18,799
Speaker 3: Every time I'm in Phoenix is for work.

704
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:23,200

728
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 2: with Vegas. Not the team, but just like having to

729

Speaker 3: And it says and I saw Viola Davis. I follow her.

780
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: She always has a lot of good stuff, and she

781
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 1: posted this on her page and I was like, that's

782
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 1: the one courage is being yourself every day in a

783
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 1: world that tells you to be someone else.

784
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is a perfect segue back to how we

785
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 2: started the show.

786
00:45:56,040 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I just I've read that and I was like, oh,

787
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 1: it's so true. And also because you know, lots of

788
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 1: times we look around and we are trying to be

789
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 1: someone else, but we're trying to be someone else because

790
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 1: the world, or society or a person tells us that

791
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 1: we should be. So let me read it one more time.

792
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 1: Courage is being yourself every day in a world that

793
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 1: tells you to be someone else.

794
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:24,160
