Chasing Our Comeback

WEBVTT
00:00:07.679 --> 00:00:11.519
Welcome back to another episode of Chasing the W.
00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:12.480
I'm Amanda.
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:13.599
I'm Bonnie.
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:15.759
You guys, it's been a really fucking long time.
00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:16.960
Sorry, listeners.
00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:19.440
Honestly, it's not for lack of trying.
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:29.039
We literally recorded an episode at the end of June, early July, and then the audio was all kinds of fucked up, and it was kind of my tattooed reason.
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:29.359
Yeah.
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:30.879
Didn't want us to put it out.
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:31.920
It was actually me.
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:32.640
I was the problem.
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:34.960
Bonnie sounded really crystal queer.
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:37.840
We should say happy pride though.
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:38.399
Yeah.
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:39.520
Happy belated.
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:41.520
Happy, happy pride.
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:45.280
Happy uh happy birthday, Brenda.
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:47.439
Happy birthday, Brenda.
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:49.600
It's almost Eliza's birthday.
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:52.960
It's not her birthday yet though, so yeah.
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:54.560
Happy birthday, Brenda.
00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:56.159
It's been a busy month.
00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:01.119
Yeah, I feel like we've been kind of all over the place.
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:02.000
Physically.
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:03.679
I've been all over the place.
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:04.560
Mentally.
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:06.799
Just everywhere.
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:07.840
Where you been, Loca?
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:09.120
What have you been up to?
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:12.560
I don't even know.
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:14.319
I don't even know.
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:17.680
I feel like, did I talk about how I went to Seattle?
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:19.120
No, you were in Seattle.
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:25.359
Went to Seattle, went to San Diego, went to North Carolina.
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:26.480
Oh my god, that's right.
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:27.200
You were there too.
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:27.680
Jesus.
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:29.680
You've been all over the country.
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:30.560
Yeah.
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:31.519
What about you?
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:32.719
You've been places.
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:34.560
I only Oh, that's true.
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:36.640
I was like, I've only been to Atlanta.
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:38.640
No, but I was in Virginia too.
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:38.959
Yeah.
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:39.519
I forgot.
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:40.640
Virginia counts.
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:42.480
Virginia does count.
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:45.040
I've visited the South this summer.
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:46.000
Yep.
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:47.280
Below the Mason Dixon.
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:48.480
Across the Mason Dixon.
00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:48.959
Yeah.
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:50.239
It's crazy.
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:52.560
Crazy, crazy stuff.
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:53.840
And I started a new job.
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:54.640
So there's that.
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:55.359
Congrats.
00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:56.159
Thanks.
00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:57.519
Say it, listeners.
00:01:57.840 --> 00:01:59.120
I love capitalism.
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:05.920
But yeah, that's what that's what we've been up to.
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:10.400
Bonnie brought worms in the teeniest, tiniest little tupperware.
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:11.039
It's so cute.
00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:13.120
Well, actually, it's not actually worms.
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:13.919
It's butterflies.
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:16.080
And butterflies.
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:18.879
Oh, I guess there are some worms and some flowers.
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.159
So we've got a lot of shapes, but don't worry, there are no octopi.
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:24.960
We're anti-octopi.
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:25.680
Yeah.
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:27.439
Octophobic in this house.
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:31.280
I've had so many, but they're just staring at me.
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:32.560
They're just so good.
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:34.080
And I'm not even a gummy.
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:36.000
Shout out to Albanese.
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:38.240
They're not a sponsor yet.
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:42.080
Not yet, but I mean, they're the best gummies.
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:43.840
We literally eat them every time we buy them.
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:46.960
I feel like people really love Haribo.
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:47.759
Haribo?
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:48.479
Haribo.
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:49.280
Oh yeah.
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:51.439
But I think Albanese is better.
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:56.560
I haven't had haribo in a really long time, but I feel like the last time I had them, they were really stale.
00:02:56.800 --> 00:03:04.319
But I always think about they had this commercial where it was like a bunch of kids at a boardroom table.
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:06.560
And they were like the ones in charge or something.
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:08.400
And I was like, well, no wonder they're not successful.
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:10.960
It's a bunch of fucking kids running that business.
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:13.280
So yeah.
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:15.520
You can't put the kids in charge.
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:16.240
Yeah.
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:21.280
Okay, well, we have quite a bit to catch up on.
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:26.800
And of course, it's been so long we can't possibly cover everything, but there are a lot of things that we need to get to today.
00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:28.719
So just a quick rundown.
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:33.919
If we miss anything, oh yeah, listeners, leave it in the comments and we'll bring it up next time.
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:34.400
It's true.
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:37.840
I told I've been told that we've been starving the fans.
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:39.759
So we're back.
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:42.000
And we're not gonna take that big of a break again.
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:42.719
Maybe.
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:44.479
Probably not.
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:46.479
It was just a one-time yeah.
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:48.800
It was, you know, life was like summer break.
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:49.520
Yeah.
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:50.240
Okay.
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:54.960
So today we're gonna cover around the W.
00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:58.240
We're gonna cover a bunch of different shit that's been happening.
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:02.000
Then we're gonna do an all-star weekend recap, talk about our thoughts there.
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:03.520
Not just about basketball.
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:04.879
There was, in fact, some tea.
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:06.879
There was a lot of drama this weekend, yeah.
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:07.840
Actually, a lot of drama.
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:14.639
Then we're gonna talk about honestly, probably my least favorite topic lately, the Liberty.
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:15.520
Yeah.
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:20.079
And then we have a really cool overtime.
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:22.720
So that will be really good.
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:24.079
Really, really good.
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.600
Okay, let's dive right in.
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:29.920
Around the W, what's been happening?
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:33.120
Okay, so around the W, lots going on.
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:35.040
Lots, lots, lots, lots.
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:37.360
We're not gonna go in chronological interpretation.
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:38.480
Okay, so around the W.
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:39.759
Yeah, that's too much.
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:45.839
I don't remember when things happen because I'm in the actual crazy.
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:49.759
I'm chasing the screen so much.
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:50.720
I feel that way.
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:56.959
The like parasocialness of everything is like it's getting a little too crazy.
00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:10.319
Yeah, um, and we uh we have some like lighter ones we have to talk about.
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:14.079
Let's talk about it and then have the time.
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:44.879
So we are the armor within the post, and then it's her mama, and she didn't make it into the post and she didn't really went up and I was probably gonna show her pretty bad to create face.
00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:51.519
She went up and Yara's probably went down pretty bad.
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:52.000
Whatever.
00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:59.680
When you look at her replay early and look back, we know that Yara has a history of back injuries and whatever.
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:06.160
She went down who was the player, they tried to cut the girls that the cameras were in her face.
00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:09.120
She was caught on the mic who was Angel A.
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:09.759
Irate.
00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:11.439
Which is I understand.
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:12.720
She was trying to protect her place.
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:13.600
Not great.
00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:17.360
She was caught on the mic why this is not Angel a protected.
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:28.560
Obviously, the history of slavery in this country and racism is really not ideal, so not not really a good look to be calling a black woman a species.
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:29.680
Correct.
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:33.519
And I feel like there's two things to talk about.
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:36.399
It's like the intent and the impact.
00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:42.480
Like the intent, and we can have Eliza speak to this because she's our resident Australian.
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:43.040
Yeah.
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:47.519
The intent was uh, you know, Sandy wasn't trying to be racist.
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:54.079
A protected species is something they use uh in sports all the time in Australia.
00:06:54.720 --> 00:07:00.240
It's a it's like calling a player like a golden child or like favorite or something.
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:06.800
But the impact is what it is, especially when you're over here in the United States and there's so much history.
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:09.040
So you can't really separate the two.
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:12.079
Yeah, definitely a cultural disconnect.
00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:14.560
And I'm not a white person apologist.
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:24.879
I'm probably the least likely person to be an apologist for white people, but I do genuinely believe that that is not what she meant.
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:39.199
And to your point, different cultures, different, different meanings for different things, and to to Sandy's uh it's not benefit, whatever.
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:41.839
And it's not even in Sandy's defense, but whatever.
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:44.079
She immediately apologized to her credit, maybe.
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:44.959
Yeah, to her credit.
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:47.680
Because she took accountability like immediately.
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:58.079
She did, because that that's not what she meant, and I know that I know that some people are finding issue with people saying that about Sandy.
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:05.839
I saw some discourse on Threads and on Twitter about how people didn't know that Sandy had so many defenders until this.
00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:09.920
But at the end of the day, like I don't know.
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:23.279
I genuinely don't think that she meant it that way, but that doesn't take away from the fact that she said it and to your point the impact that it had um in that particular moment in this particular context.
00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:32.000
So I do I do feel for Sandy, but I also feel for Angel for being as young as she is and having to constantly deal with this kind of thing.
00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:44.879
I feel like Angel's always getting hate from online trolls or fucking Caitlin Clark fans and like yeah, she's had to deal with a lot in the like she's only been in the league for what three years?
00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:46.000
Yeah, three years.
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:49.840
And she's really carried herself beautifully.
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:50.799
Yeah.
00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:54.320
But like she doesn't she doesn't deserve all that.
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:55.679
I agree.
00:08:55.919 --> 00:08:58.879
And on that note, excuse me.
00:08:59.440 --> 00:08:59.840
Producer.
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:01.039
Eliza, do you want to say that?
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:04.639
Do you want to share my Australian thoughts on Australian coach Sandy Rondello?
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:05.279
Eliza?
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:06.240
Okay.
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:08.960
It's me.
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:14.399
Um no, I was just gonna basically say the same thing as Bonnie, to be honest, and we've already spoken about it.
00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:17.200
Um I definitely agree with intent and impact.
00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:19.840
I think I can speak on the intent part.
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:41.759
The the term like protected species is used a lot in like Australian football and other Australian sports and comment like it's a very common phrase that commentators use whenever someone gets a favorable call or gets a few favorable calls, um, and it feels like they're not getting the same treatment as others, and they're like, oh well, they're a protected species, no one could could ever touch them.
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:45.679
Um they'll never get like, you know, called for any kind of mishaps.
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:53.360
Um so I feel like honestly, it's more akin to Caitlin Clark, because she feels like a protected species.
00:09:53.679 --> 00:10:03.120
So I feel like I like I'm I'm fine with the term, I guess, but I feel like it wasn't used in the correct way, anyways, because it was targeted at the wrong player.
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:08.879
Yeah, like I feel like if she wasn't a black woman, yeah, we would not be having this conversation.
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:14.480
That is true, but even like that I just feel like she's not a protected species.
00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:16.159
I feel like Caitlin Clark is a protected species.
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:25.600
Like regardless, like I feel like Angel gets pretty fair calls like left and right, and yeah, some others and unfair don't.
00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:26.639
Yeah, I agree.
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:34.399
I also feel like I didn't watch this full game, but it must have taken like Sandy's a pretty level-headed coach.
00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:42.720
Like it must have taken, you know, a bunch of lead up from bad calls throughout the whole game for her to like go off like this.
00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:46.799
Like, I don't feel like she ever really blows up.
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:54.240
Yeah, I mean, I would have to agree with that, and you know, you guys you heard it here first, the validity of the source is in the accent.
00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:57.200
Okay, that was a real accent.
00:10:57.519 --> 00:10:59.360
So can't fake an accent.
00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:00.000
You can't.
00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:03.039
Well, you could, but you probably wouldn't be very good at it.
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:07.200
So anyways, Sandy got suspended for a game.
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:07.919
She did.
00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:10.639
Do you feel like that was the right punishment?
00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:11.759
I think it's crazy though.
00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:18.879
We're s I think they were trying to make an example out of out of Sandy, considering all the shit that Caitlin and Sophie Cunningham get away with.
00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:24.720
But like, make an example out of them because those fuckers are getting away with so much shit.
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:27.279
And that's exactly what I mean.
00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:35.679
And I guess honestly, from there, like we can go into our next around the W topic focused on Caitlin Clark's preferential treatment.
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:47.120
So at this point it's old news, but everyone should at least be aware of the altercation or lack thereof between Alyssa Thomas and Caitlin Clark.
00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:51.600
The Mercury and Fever were essentially playing back-to-backs against each other.
00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:56.240
It's a lot of tension between those teams with Dewana Bonner previously playing for the fever.
00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:01.840
The TLDR is that those games are always physical, just given that context.
00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:32.639
And there was a kind of like a dog pile during one of the plays where what happened is that Alyssa Thomas ended up on top of Caitlin Clark, and then there were other players on top of Alyssa Thomas, and in trying to get up, Alyssa Thomas balled her fists to get up, which for context, she's had two torn labrums, and that's just how she has to get up because of the pain that shoots up her arm because she never got the surgery to correct the torn labrums, etc.
00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:33.039
etc.
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:33.600
etc.
00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:47.279
But of course, the Caitlin Clark uh Confederacy and the Indiana Fever fans have turned it into honestly something that it's not, even during the game.
00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:49.279
No flagrant foul was called.
00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:50.639
No one even seemed appalled.
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:51.120
Even Caitlin.
00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:52.799
No even regular foul was called.
00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:58.960
Yeah, even Caitlin, who is usually so fucking dramatic, like she just kept it pushing.
00:12:59.039 --> 00:12:59.279
Yeah.
00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:03.679
And so after the game, for some reason they reviewed it, they upgraded it to a flagrant to this.
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:05.360
They reviewed it in slow motion.
00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:09.200
Like if they had played it in real speed, they wouldn't have noticed, I bet.
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:09.600
Yeah.
00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:11.600
No, I mean, and that's the thing, they didn't, right?
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:12.320
That's the whole point.
00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:13.279
They didn't notice it.
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:17.519
And it just like kicked off this fire firestorm?
00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:19.039
Shitstorm?
00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:21.279
Fire, you know, whatever.
00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:22.559
One of those things.
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:33.279
And all of a sudden, Congress is involved, and the fucking Republicans are worried about Caitlin Clark's safety instead of the safety of their constituents who don't have access to healthcare.
00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:36.240
So, like, you know, that's the hair there.
00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:41.279
It's making it like the whole Indiana team.
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:45.120
I mean, we can keep going on about Caitlin Clark because like there's more.
00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:47.679
The fact that she's got seven tech files.
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:48.559
Yeah.
00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:51.600
Seven technicals, one away from a one-game suspension.
00:13:51.919 --> 00:13:56.000
I really hope that she gets it in the first two minutes of whatever next game she plays.
00:13:56.240 --> 00:14:14.159
I'm gonna be honest, it's like it's crazy because when she got that seventh one, she was at pract the next practice and she was being interviewed by the media, and they asked her if there's anything that she's changing, like, to not get another tech to play better, and she was like, No.
00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:16.639
Like, she's so fucking arrogant.
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:19.279
She's so arrogant, and she's not good.
00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:21.519
I hate her, she's not good.
00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:27.039
I don't understand why, I don't know.
00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:32.879
It's like trying to understand no, it's sickness a straight Republican.
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:55.600
And we keep and we keep trying to, and not we, but the league, capitalism, the industry is trying to force feed her to us, and despite the fact that she is not even the third best player on her fucking team, for some reason, some way, somehow, she ended up on the cover of the 2K27 deluxe edition.
00:14:55.759 --> 00:15:04.879
And the caption was focused about her being dedicated to the work, despite us knowing for a fact that she has not worked on her game, she has not worked on changing her attitude.
00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:06.480
She literally needs to get in the gym.
00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:08.080
She's a fucking shrimp.
00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:09.600
She's a shrimp.
00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:13.120
So and she can't play defense, that's why everybody drives on her.
00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:16.720
Like what like what message actually are we sending?
00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:18.240
Like question.
00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:19.759
It's it's fucked.
00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:22.799
It's just like, you know, it's it's what Eliza was just saying.
00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:24.799
She's a fucking protected species.
00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:25.600
She is.
00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:32.879
And I don't I it's so annoying that like the league keeps like making her the face.
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:41.039
I swear to God, the commentators have to like say her name at least five times a quarter, and like even when she's not playing.
00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:43.279
Yeah, like I just don't get it.
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:45.360
It's it's so bad.
00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:47.200
Where is the delusion happening?
00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:47.840
You know what I mean?
00:15:48.080 --> 00:16:01.679
But the crazy thing is, it's like I unfortunately am not surprised by the fact that you can't really debate this stuff with her fans or with fever fans because it's the same thing with Republicans.
00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:06.240
You can't it's like you see facts and they're like, that's not true.
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:06.799
Right.
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:07.519
Huh?
00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:09.360
Like, that makes no sense.
00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:20.320
It's just like we could literally pull her stats and compare them to at least four other people on her team, and they would still argue that she's the best player despite leading the league in turnovers.
00:16:20.639 --> 00:16:21.279
Yeah.
00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:28.399
So And that's why she probably didn't do the three-point contest because she's scared.
00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:28.799
Yeah.
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:30.399
And more and more on that later.
00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:32.559
Yeah, more on that later, but just saying.
00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:32.960
Yeah.
00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:33.679
She sucks.
00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:34.960
Yeah, she does.
00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:36.159
Just saying, just saying.
00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:36.879
Just saying.
00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:37.600
Okay.
00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:39.919
Kind of a lighter topic.
00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:43.120
Uh well, definitely a lighter topic.
00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:46.000
I was gonna go talk about Phoebe, but let's talk about Marina real quick.
00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:52.240
Because if Marina Mabrie has no fans, I'm dead, you're dead, Eliza's dead.
00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:53.039
We're all dead.
00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:53.440
Yeah.
00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:54.320
Brendy?
00:16:54.799 --> 00:16:55.360
Dead.
00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:59.039
Yeah, we would all be dead because she is.
00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:05.440
Man, she's just I'm honestly like this is an incredible story of character development.
00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:06.319
Agreed.
00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:08.880
Because Brenda and I were not fans.
00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:11.519
We were not fans when she was uh still in Chicago.
00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:13.359
I think maybe we weren't either.
00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:16.240
Yeah, we weren't until honestly, it was until Unrivaled.
00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:19.279
No, I literally was like, uh, she's kind of annoying.
00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:20.799
Uh she's kind of annoying.
00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:24.400
And then all of a sudden, I was just like, Yeah, I would kill somebody over her.
00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:26.240
Like, we can fight.
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:28.960
Like, don't talk about my girl like that.
00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:29.759
It's crazy.
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:30.640
Literally.
00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:32.480
So, why are we bringing her up?
00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:38.720
Because she tied the all-time uh scoring record in one game, 53 points, I believe.
00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:40.160
Bonnie, got checked me on that.
00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:41.759
Yeah, I want to see who she's tied with.
00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:42.400
I can't remember.
00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:43.200
Asia.
00:17:43.440 --> 00:17:43.920
Oh, yeah.
00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:45.359
Definitely Asia's right.
00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:46.720
Maybe Cheryl swoops.
00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:47.839
I could be wrong.
00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:50.240
I feel like I made up Cheryl swoops.
00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:51.920
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:53.039
I'm holding.
00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:54.559
Um you did.
00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:56.799
Liz Cambridge, but we don't have to talk about Liz.
00:17:57.119 --> 00:17:58.799
No, wait, wait, no, we're not gonna we're not gonna talk about her.
00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:01.920
We're gonna have to bring Eliza back in here.
00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:03.599
Yeah, that's Eliza's people.
00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:05.359
You can just cut that out.
00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:12.000
Actually, just so we're clear, Liz Ben Simmons, also Eliza's people.
00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:15.039
I always forget that Ben Simmons is Australian.
00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:16.240
Is he Australian?
00:18:16.640 --> 00:18:17.759
He is Australian.
00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:20.240
Yeah, he was That's Eliza's Peoples.
00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:21.440
That's her homie for real.
00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:22.720
That fucking loose.
00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:25.119
No, I'm not gonna I'm gonna stand up for her.
00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:26.240
No, don't.
00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:29.839
Her dad, her dad was a big Ben Simmons fan.
00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:31.119
But now he's not.
00:18:31.359 --> 00:18:32.319
Well he's a Philly fan.
00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:33.599
Yeah, now he's a Philly fan.
00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:34.880
LeBron James.
00:18:35.119 --> 00:18:37.200
We're not gonna talk about that here though, but just so you know.
00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:38.319
Will Smith?
00:18:39.839 --> 00:18:43.359
Uh Will Smith, Pink, Eve, uh Kevin Hart.
00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:44.559
Yes, we both claim it.
00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:46.480
We also have Quinta Brunson.
00:18:46.880 --> 00:18:47.119
Yeah.
00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:49.920
This is Will Smith slapped Chris Rock.
00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:51.200
Do I think he did it?
00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:54.720
No, do you I saw it with my own eyes?
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:00.880
That was fucking crazy.
00:19:01.119 --> 00:19:03.839
Listen, we're gonna talk about it, but I'm just saying.
00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:09.440
I you know, the audacity to get up from your seat, walk up on stage.
00:19:09.920 --> 00:19:10.559
You know what?
00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:17.440
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna question why he did it because Chris Rock was talking crazy.
00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:18.960
He did say something about Jane.
00:19:20.559 --> 00:19:22.640
Yeah, he was making jokes calling her G.I.
00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:24.400
Jane because she's fucking bald.
00:19:24.559 --> 00:19:25.519
God bless her though.
00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:32.079
Listen, I mean, I'm just saying, do I do I think he should have gotten up and smacked the shit out of him?
00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:32.720
No.
00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:37.200
Do I will I fault him for it?
00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:38.319
I won't.
00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:43.759
He did what he felt was right, and I'm not here to bring down a black man.
00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:46.880
Okay, I can't do it.
00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:50.559
So but what I will say, and Chris, you know what Chris said?
00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:51.599
The show must go on.
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:53.759
He said, God damn.
00:19:54.160 --> 00:19:57.519
Okay, but also we won't get into this.
00:19:57.759 --> 00:20:01.440
But I'm really, I'm really actually, you know what I will say?
00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:06.079
Do I agree with him slapping Chris Rock?
00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:06.319
No.
00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:07.759
Will I question it?
00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:08.960
Also, no.
00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:12.880
But also, why were you doing all that over Jada?
00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:16.720
Because Jada has been playing the shit out of you publicly.
00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:17.680
Has she?
00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:18.480
Yes.
00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:21.279
Like, you don't hold on.
00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:29.680
You don't remember Red Table Talk where she came to the table and it came out that she was fucking her son's best friend while being married to Will?
00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:30.319
What?
00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:31.599
August Alsina?
00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:33.200
The situation ship?
00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:37.119
No, I didn't hear I didn't I did not know this.
00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:38.799
I think that was before.
00:20:39.039 --> 00:20:39.680
No, no, no.
00:20:39.839 --> 00:20:41.599
Red Table Talk was before the slap.
00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:44.480
Listen, guys, we're not gonna get into it, but just just enjoy this.
00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:45.839
Oh my god, the entanglement.
00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:47.359
Bonnie, you don't remember the entanglement?
00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:47.920
This is what she said.
00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:48.960
August Alcina.
00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:51.920
On Red Table Talk, she was just like, you know, August and I.
00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:53.839
We got into an entanglement.
00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:54.880
What the fuck did you mean?
00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:57.039
Literally those words, entanglement.
00:20:57.359 --> 00:20:58.960
No, it was actually absurd.
00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:01.279
It was the craziest shit I have ever heard.
00:21:01.359 --> 00:21:02.480
She's insane.
00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:04.079
She's actually insane.
00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:09.279
Apparently, they addressed Elcina's previous claim that Will had given him permission.
00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:09.759
Yeah.
00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:12.160
Explaining because they were separated amicably.
00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:13.680
No, like it's actually crazy.
00:21:13.759 --> 00:21:17.279
I cannot believe you're only just discovering this in the year of our lord 2026.
00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:18.480
We'll talk about this offline.
00:21:20.079 --> 00:21:20.319
Yeah.
00:21:20.559 --> 00:21:21.440
I need to catch it.
00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:23.119
No, it's actually crazy.
00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:24.160
Oh my god.
00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:25.839
But anyway, Marina cooked.
00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:26.559
Marina cooked.
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:30.319
And she could have and she could have beat that record, but they took her out the game.
00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:31.680
Sandy was being a hater.
00:21:31.839 --> 00:21:35.200
No, she wanted to come out the game, and Sandy was like, no, you have to stay in.
00:21:35.519 --> 00:21:37.680
And then they took her out with like a minute left.
00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:40.880
They should have gave her one more, just so she could have the title.
00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:42.400
They didn't want her to be great.
00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:43.759
They didn't.
00:21:43.920 --> 00:21:44.480
No, they did.
00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:44.960
They did.
00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:45.839
Just kidding.
00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:46.559
I'm just kidding.
00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:47.519
I'm feeling silly now.
00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:49.119
The sugar from the worms, you know.
00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:50.799
You have another worm.
00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:54.160
The thing is, Marina is really.
00:21:54.559 --> 00:21:56.480
Bonnie said, shut the hell up.
00:21:58.079 --> 00:21:59.759
Marina has like space to.
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:05.920
Be herself and really fucking grow on Toronto Timpo.
00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:08.079
I think I love all the Mabri's equally.
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:10.079
I feel like they're my sisters.
00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:11.599
And brothers.
00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:12.400
No.
00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:14.240
Well, you have to you said all the time.
00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:15.200
I don't want them all.
00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:16.160
I don't want him.
00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:17.039
There's two.
00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:17.920
What's his name?
00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:19.200
Dan, David.
00:22:19.519 --> 00:22:19.839
I don't know.
00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:20.480
I just saw a mother.
00:22:21.279 --> 00:22:22.079
Respectfully.
00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:23.200
Okay.
00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:24.400
I just saw a post.
00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:27.519
So, okay, so Marina had that historic night.
00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:28.000
What else?
00:22:28.400 --> 00:22:29.519
Ryan and Roy.
00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:31.279
No, I don't think so.
00:22:31.440 --> 00:22:32.400
It's not gonna work for me.
00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:33.200
Sorry, boys.
00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:33.920
Sorry, boys.
00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:34.880
Goodbye.
00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:37.119
So and other news.
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:37.599
Return.
00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:39.759
Nefisa Collier is back.
00:22:40.079 --> 00:22:42.720
Return of the And we're so fucked.
00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:44.160
I mean, we were already fucked.
00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:45.759
We'll talk about it when we get to CFO.
00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:48.720
Yeah, we were already fucked, but just called.
00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:53.039
If the Lynx don't win everything this year, they suck.
00:22:53.279 --> 00:22:53.519
Okay.
00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:55.599
I don't want them to win everything this year, though.
00:22:55.839 --> 00:22:56.640
But they have to.
00:22:56.880 --> 00:23:01.440
If it's not, I mean, the only for me is between.
00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:03.599
Well, I don't know.
00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:06.640
I was gonna say Vegas, but No, not Vegas.
00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:09.039
Dallas is why why you don't like Vegas?
00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:11.440
I like Vegas, but they've won three times.
00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:14.079
Would you be saying that if it was us who won three times?
00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:14.720
No.
00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:16.079
Well, maybe.
00:23:16.160 --> 00:23:16.559
I don't know.
00:23:16.640 --> 00:23:17.119
We haven't.
00:23:17.759 --> 00:23:19.920
It's hard to tell because we haven't.
00:23:20.880 --> 00:23:24.319
I think I think the Lynx are in the best.
00:23:24.799 --> 00:23:26.160
Valkers are second.
00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:27.920
I could see them winning.
00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:31.279
No, I'm I'm just just I'm discrediting other teams.
00:23:31.519 --> 00:23:33.920
I'm just saying like Aces are third.
00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:38.799
I'm just saying the Lynx have the best chance to win.
00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:42.000
And if they don't, then I'm gonna start asking some questions.
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:45.039
Including, are y'all gonna blow it up?
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:47.200
Because I think if they don't win this, they gotta blow it up.
00:23:47.599 --> 00:23:50.960
I think if they don't win this, then they have to stop doing the electric slide.
00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:52.240
Oh my god.
00:23:52.880 --> 00:24:07.440
Literally, I I don't even think I don't even think it was Liberty at Lynx, but Brenda and I a couple weeks ago, we were sitting here on the couch watching the game, the Lynx won, and they started lining up to do that fucking electric slide.
00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:09.839
And the way I got I said, what's the remote?
00:24:09.920 --> 00:24:10.960
I have to change this.
00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:12.319
Can't watch it.
00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:15.920
It it brings me a lot of anger.
00:24:16.079 --> 00:24:18.000
I just it's so corny.
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:19.119
It's so corny.
00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:21.839
But what the fuck else they got to do in Minnesota?
00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:25.200
You know who's from Minnesota?
00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:26.160
Prince.
00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:27.680
He is from Minnesota.
00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:30.400
They could do something with a Prince song.
00:24:31.119 --> 00:24:31.759
You don't know.
00:24:31.839 --> 00:24:34.400
I just like I don't like it.
00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:35.519
That's gotta stop.
00:24:35.680 --> 00:24:36.240
It's gotta stop.
00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:40.319
At her debut, though, Fee scored 22 points, I believe.
00:24:40.559 --> 00:24:41.200
Not bad.
00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:43.279
Oh, she had a double double.
00:24:44.319 --> 00:24:46.720
Her biggest fan from the couch, so she had a double double.
00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:47.519
What did you say?
00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:48.960
Her biggest fan.
00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:49.839
From the couch.
00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:50.880
Yeah, from the couch.
00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:51.759
Yeah.
00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:54.000
So, sure, yeah, whatever.
00:24:54.079 --> 00:24:55.440
She had a double double.
00:24:55.839 --> 00:25:00.799
And I was it you Bon who said maybe she'll have a slow start, or I hope she'll have a slow start.
00:25:01.599 --> 00:25:03.359
Someone said that, and then I was just like, why would you say that?
00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:04.079
Maybe it was Brit.
00:25:04.559 --> 00:25:06.559
You know that she's not gonna have no slow start.
00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:07.759
She's been working up.
00:25:08.240 --> 00:25:10.160
She'd probably been ready for a minute.
00:25:10.640 --> 00:25:12.160
They've just been holding her.
00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:16.079
But it's kind of scary to think about because she didn't play Unrivaled either, did she?
00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:16.400
No.
00:25:16.480 --> 00:25:20.640
She had she literally hasn't played since last fucking October or something.
00:25:20.880 --> 00:25:25.039
So she's been resting, she's been getting stronger, she's ready to come back full force.
00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:26.319
I know I'm scared of her.
00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:27.119
I'm scared of her.
00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:30.960
You know what?
00:25:31.039 --> 00:25:34.400
Her and Olivia Miles, that is a really good segue here because you know what?
00:25:34.880 --> 00:25:35.279
What?
00:25:35.599 --> 00:25:37.839
Let's just get Courtney Williams off the team.
00:25:39.519 --> 00:25:43.119
Um Bonnie is a known Courtney Williams hater.
00:25:43.279 --> 00:25:43.759
Me too.
00:25:43.920 --> 00:25:47.519
She gives me the ick more and more and more and more, but we'll talk about it later.
00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:50.720
So yeah, the rookie of the year race.
00:25:51.119 --> 00:25:53.839
I do think Olivia Miles is still a front runner.
00:25:54.079 --> 00:25:56.720
It like is actually unbelievable how good she is.
00:25:56.960 --> 00:25:57.440
I know.
00:25:57.599 --> 00:25:59.039
Like it's actually unbelievable.
00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:02.480
But Aisy has been showing some moments too.
00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:04.720
She has been an elite defender.
00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:05.359
Yeah.
00:26:05.519 --> 00:26:06.640
She's so fucking strong.
00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:08.480
I'm I'm actually scared of her.
00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:09.519
She's built.
00:26:09.759 --> 00:26:12.799
No, like she's been blocked, she's been blocking people with one hand.
00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:16.160
She's been blocking people without even looking at what she's blocking.
00:26:16.240 --> 00:26:17.519
Like, she's just everywhere.
00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:20.720
And she's like, she's trapping people in the corner by herself.
00:26:20.960 --> 00:26:22.000
Like, that's crazy.
00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:24.240
I just know that she's a fucking brick wall.
00:26:24.400 --> 00:26:26.640
I just know if she set a screen on me, bro.
00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:27.359
I'm bouncing.
00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:28.799
Yeah, I'm gonna be in New Jersey.
00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:30.000
No, it's crazy.
00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:31.359
She's so strong.
00:26:31.599 --> 00:26:32.400
So I don't know.
00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:33.759
Do you have do you have any thoughts?
00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:37.680
You think I I think it's gonna be Olivia Miles.
00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:40.319
I think it should be, and I think if it's Azy, that's fucked.
00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:41.920
I really like Aisy.
00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:43.200
I love her.
00:26:43.839 --> 00:26:46.559
I don't know that I love her after what she did to us.
00:26:46.880 --> 00:26:47.519
What do you mean?
00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:50.000
She's just cooked every time she plays us, yeah.
00:26:50.240 --> 00:26:54.640
Yeah, I mean, it's annoying, but like I don't know.
00:26:54.799 --> 00:26:55.599
She's really good.
00:26:55.680 --> 00:26:57.039
I mean, they're both really good.
00:26:57.200 --> 00:27:00.720
I just feel like Olivia's Miles has been like amazing out of the gate.
00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:04.400
It's taken Aisy a little bit to like get more comfortable in the league.
00:27:04.480 --> 00:27:15.839
And I also think not all her fault, like Jose What's his face, has um, you know, like didn't start her for a while um or give her that many minutes at all.
00:27:16.160 --> 00:27:24.799
So I think she's definitely like earning her keep now, but Olivia Miles is just like kind of on another level.
00:27:25.200 --> 00:27:25.920
No, I agree.
00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:32.079
I am oh and you know, I am in fact a conspiracy theorist, and I'm about to start sounding crazy.
00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:33.440
I just want to preface that.
00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:43.519
Sometimes sometimes on NBA Twitter they talk about how, and even NFL Twitter, they talk about how there's a fucking script, and all of the sports leagues are you know scripted.
00:27:43.920 --> 00:27:51.759
If AZ wins rookie of the year over Olivia Mouse, I'm gonna I think it's scripted because I just I genuinely don't think that there's a comparison.
00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:56.880
Like, don't get me wrong, Azy's an incredible defender, an incredible three-point shooter, but like who do you think is writing the script, Kathy?
00:27:57.680 --> 00:28:01.200
Kathy, Kathy, Kathy can't even do the damn schedule.
00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:03.039
Kathy's not writing no fucking script.
00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:04.640
It's Adam Silver.
00:28:05.920 --> 00:28:08.720
Adam Silver is writing the fucking script.
00:28:09.200 --> 00:28:09.839
Stink stink.
00:28:10.079 --> 00:28:12.079
Okay, finally, finally, from around the W.
00:28:12.640 --> 00:28:14.240
We're gonna end on this note.
00:28:14.720 --> 00:28:17.200
But we're not, it's fine because we're not in the podcast on this note.
00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:19.200
But Sophie Cunningham is a fucking loser.
00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:27.279
Loser, home phobic, and I cannot believe that she's getting a player edition sneaker from Adidas, and and it's sold out already.
00:28:27.359 --> 00:28:41.519
But the joke is on her because she's been making all of these anti-trans comments saying that we need to protect women's sports, and she insists that she's like in the middle of the political spectrum, and she all she cares about is protecting women's sports, which is fucking rich.
00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:57.200
Because I don't understand how you can be against gender-affirming care when you literally had a lot of gender-affirming care so that she looks the way she does, because she is not naturally that I don't know, I wouldn't even call her good looking, but like I know she doesn't look like that naturally.
00:28:57.440 --> 00:28:57.920
No, I know.
00:28:58.000 --> 00:29:00.480
I saw a picture of her in college, scared, jump scare.
00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:00.799
Yeah.
00:29:01.119 --> 00:29:16.880
Also, she can't be saying that she is, you know, um, worried about keeping women and young women safe when she is like supporting the UFC and Connor McGregor, who is an actual rapist.
00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:19.599
No, it's actually it's actually pretty crazy.
00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:26.160
What's funny to me, maybe ironic, someone can go check me later if that's the correct usage of it.
00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:29.680
But like the colorway of the player edition looks like the trans flag.
00:29:29.839 --> 00:29:31.119
I really don't even want to look it up.
00:29:31.200 --> 00:29:31.680
I haven't seen it.
00:29:31.759 --> 00:29:32.559
I don't want to give it up.
00:29:32.799 --> 00:29:33.759
Everything I've learned has been against my will.
00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:35.119
I don't want to give her a click.
00:29:35.279 --> 00:29:37.519
No, every everything I've learned has been against my will.
00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:38.240
Transparently.
00:29:38.400 --> 00:29:38.640
Yeah.
00:29:38.799 --> 00:29:40.640
But it does look, it's the colors of the trans flag.
00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:41.279
So what a joke.
00:29:41.519 --> 00:29:44.799
It's so crazy that we're giving a zero champ a player.
00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:46.240
Yeah, zero time champ.
00:29:46.400 --> 00:29:47.039
Yeah.
00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:48.559
Zero time.
00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:49.759
Zero time champ.
00:29:49.920 --> 00:29:53.039
And even and she like averages like four points a game or something.
00:29:53.279 --> 00:29:54.640
Yeah, she's a fucking loser.
00:29:54.799 --> 00:30:09.359
Um, and also what interestingly, her she has this podcast, and her co-host, his name is Wes Something, he's come out and said that the Republicans have made Americans believe that this is a real problem where really there's only like six like trans asthma.
00:30:09.680 --> 00:30:14.240
I know, it's like point zero two percent of the sports population.
00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:26.319
Which is crazy because like I feel like as as the two of us are co-hosting this podcast, I feel like if there was a place where we were disagreeing politically, like, I don't know how that's gonna work.
00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:28.079
We would break up, is that what you're saying?
00:30:28.400 --> 00:30:31.119
Well, we would never break up because we would never be in that predicament.
00:30:31.200 --> 00:30:32.880
But you know, I wonder what that's causing.
00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:33.599
Yeah.
00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:34.640
For them over there.
00:30:35.039 --> 00:30:35.359
I won't.
00:30:35.440 --> 00:30:37.119
What is Wes what is he from again?
00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:39.279
He's from Summer House, but he's also a piece of shit.
00:30:39.359 --> 00:30:39.680
Oh, yeah.
00:30:39.759 --> 00:30:40.000
I don't know.
00:30:40.799 --> 00:30:49.839
He cheated on his on his uh girl, or I don't know if he cheated, but he was dating Sierra Miller, who was also on Traders.
00:30:50.079 --> 00:30:51.279
Do you remember Sierra?
00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:52.640
Yes.
00:30:53.119 --> 00:30:55.359
He was dating her, she's also from Summerhouse.
00:30:55.519 --> 00:30:56.480
With the C, right?
00:30:56.640 --> 00:30:57.039
Yep.
00:30:57.200 --> 00:31:02.880
And he and he cheated on her, or he started dating her best friend, Amanda Batullah, or however the fuck you say her name.
00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:06.000
And it's just like really ugly, really ugly, men ain't shit.
00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:10.079
So he's not great either.
00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:17.279
Yeah, he's not great either, but he did come out and kind of disagree with what Sophie said.
00:31:17.599 --> 00:31:20.880
So there's Why are they like are they friends?
00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:23.680
I actually have no idea.
00:31:24.880 --> 00:31:26.240
I actually have zero clue.
00:31:28.559 --> 00:31:29.680
Where is he from?
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:31.599
Sorry, no, no, I just don't know.
00:31:32.960 --> 00:31:37.279
Cause you know what's I have in common with Sophie Cunningham?
00:31:38.720 --> 00:31:40.079
We both went to Missou.
00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:43.039
But you went to Missouri, yeah.
00:31:43.359 --> 00:31:44.319
Here's the thing.
00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:50.640
She's from she's from Columbia, Missouri, like the small town where the school is.
00:31:50.880 --> 00:31:51.920
Oh, so she never left.
00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:52.400
Yeah.
00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:53.119
Scary.
00:31:53.279 --> 00:31:54.400
So it's different.
00:31:54.799 --> 00:31:55.119
Yeah.
00:31:55.359 --> 00:31:56.160
It's different that way.
00:31:56.240 --> 00:31:58.079
Because that town That is different that way.
00:31:58.240 --> 00:31:58.559
Yeah.
00:31:58.720 --> 00:32:02.480
Because that town is like the only thing there is the school, like the college.
00:32:02.640 --> 00:32:03.920
It's very, very small.
00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:07.119
Um did you like Mizzou?
00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:08.400
I did.
00:32:08.640 --> 00:32:09.039
Yeah.
00:32:09.680 --> 00:32:10.799
We should talk about that sometime.
00:32:11.279 --> 00:32:12.559
I don't even know you went there.
00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:13.279
Yeah.
00:32:13.680 --> 00:32:16.799
I took um oh, he's also from Columbia.
00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:17.440
Oh.
00:32:17.680 --> 00:32:18.079
Missouri.
00:32:18.160 --> 00:32:20.000
That's maybe they're childhood friends.
00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:20.640
Yeah.
00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:22.559
Okay, that makes sense.
00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:28.480
Um, I took Eliza there and she was in Missoula for a weekend.
00:32:28.880 --> 00:32:32.400
And she was like, wow, this campus looks like the movies.
00:32:32.880 --> 00:32:33.440
Oh, really?
00:32:33.680 --> 00:32:34.960
Like that's really cool.
00:32:35.119 --> 00:32:35.920
Isn't that cute?
00:32:36.079 --> 00:32:36.880
That's really cool.
00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:39.759
Um, it was a cool, it was a fun school.
00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:40.400
Huh.
00:32:40.559 --> 00:32:48.400
But um, you know, like you know, hindsight 2020, maybe I would have done something different, you know, but but you did a good time.
00:32:48.640 --> 00:32:49.119
You had an idea, yeah.
00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:50.000
You had this time.
00:32:50.799 --> 00:32:51.519
That's really cool.
00:32:51.839 --> 00:32:53.200
Yeah, we'll talk about this other time.
00:32:53.440 --> 00:32:53.759
Okay.
00:32:54.160 --> 00:33:00.960
Okay, and so not to abruptly end around the W there, but we are gonna talk about All-Star Weekend next.
00:33:01.759 --> 00:33:03.839
Okay, so let's talk about All-Star Weekend.
00:33:04.079 --> 00:33:12.240
Lots, lots, lots, lots happening, including the return of the 72-hour stud stream.
00:33:13.440 --> 00:33:18.640
I wouldn't say that I was locked in like I was last year.
00:33:18.799 --> 00:33:31.680
I kind of had a feeling that it would have a different vibe, like even when I saw how they're or how they were promoting it, and how they did like this little teaser post with ATT where they both dyed their hair blue.
00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:35.119
Which, like, of course, a brand had to get their hands on it.
00:33:35.599 --> 00:33:36.480
Of course.
00:33:36.880 --> 00:33:40.720
Of course, I feel like it should have been Bravo, not ATT.
00:33:40.960 --> 00:33:43.759
I mean, yeah, because the stream brought some drama.
00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:46.079
No, it was actually crazy.
00:33:46.319 --> 00:33:49.680
We need Andy Cohen to do a reunion of the All-Star Weekend.
00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:51.519
We really do.
00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:55.200
Part of me thinks that maybe it should be hosted by Teaspoon.
00:33:55.279 --> 00:33:56.160
Maybe Teaspoon should be.
00:33:57.039 --> 00:33:57.519
I like that.
00:33:57.680 --> 00:33:58.400
I just love her.
00:33:58.640 --> 00:34:00.240
I just like want more teaspoon.
00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:01.680
She's so wholesome.
00:34:01.920 --> 00:34:03.279
I know, she's the best.
00:34:03.920 --> 00:34:10.000
Okay, so let's talk about let's talk about some stuff that was shared on the Stud Bud stream.
00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:13.599
So I would say probably a hard launch for Jackie.
00:34:13.840 --> 00:34:15.760
Super hard launch and Dijonnay.
00:34:15.840 --> 00:34:16.960
They both appeared on stream.
00:34:17.039 --> 00:34:22.320
It seemed like the first night of All-Star Weekend, the entire fucking league was in the Stud Buds hotel room.
00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:22.800
Yeah.
00:34:23.199 --> 00:34:24.639
Which was insane.
00:34:24.880 --> 00:34:26.800
We also got an appearance from Mama Maybrie.
00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:28.159
She did a shot.
00:34:28.639 --> 00:34:28.800
Yeah.
00:34:29.199 --> 00:34:30.639
She did a shot with the Stud Buds.
00:34:30.719 --> 00:34:33.760
They invited her to do a shot, and she surely did a shot.
00:34:34.079 --> 00:34:34.559
Wow.
00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:35.920
It was actually crazy.
00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:37.679
The Maybri's be crazy.
00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:39.599
Paige was also on the stream.
00:34:39.840 --> 00:34:44.320
Azy was on the stream, just like messing around with Natisha.
00:34:44.480 --> 00:34:46.639
It was nice to see a little personality from her.
00:34:46.880 --> 00:34:48.960
I do think that she's still dorky and dweeby.
00:34:49.119 --> 00:34:49.440
She's still doing it.
00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:50.239
But it's cute.
00:34:50.320 --> 00:34:50.639
Yeah.
00:34:50.800 --> 00:34:51.840
But it's cute.
00:34:52.159 --> 00:34:53.920
Um, that was really fun.
00:34:54.239 --> 00:34:56.239
Then, of course, they were at the club.
00:34:56.400 --> 00:35:02.239
It seemed like they were a lot more aware about what they were showing on the stream.
00:35:02.400 --> 00:35:08.000
So, like, there were several instances where they were muting and then telling people when it was live again.
00:35:08.079 --> 00:35:08.719
So that people were.
00:35:09.119 --> 00:35:10.159
Well, they didn't tell JJ.
00:35:10.400 --> 00:35:10.960
They did not tell.
00:35:11.280 --> 00:35:11.920
Tell us what happened.
00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:13.039
What happened with JJ?
00:35:13.440 --> 00:35:14.719
JJ was overheard.
00:35:14.880 --> 00:35:18.480
I don't think she was on camera, but she was definitely like we know her voice.
00:35:18.719 --> 00:35:19.039
Yeah.
00:35:19.199 --> 00:35:21.920
She's got a deep booming voice.
00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:26.239
Um, she was talking to somebody, was it Courtney?
00:35:27.039 --> 00:35:30.960
She said in 2019, we should have had the chip.
00:35:31.039 --> 00:35:33.039
And she was talking about her Connecticut team.
00:35:34.239 --> 00:35:39.119
And then she said in 2024, y'all deserved it more.
00:35:39.519 --> 00:35:39.920
Yeah.
00:35:40.159 --> 00:35:43.199
Talking about the Minnesota links.
00:35:43.920 --> 00:35:44.239
Yeah.
00:35:44.719 --> 00:35:45.519
And that's tough.
00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:47.840
Listeners, you know that's the year we won Liberty.
00:35:48.159 --> 00:35:49.039
That's tough.
00:35:49.280 --> 00:35:52.239
And I just feel like that got picked up.
00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:54.559
People on threads were going crazy.
00:35:54.960 --> 00:35:57.760
Did you see and then JJ had a press conference?
00:35:58.000 --> 00:36:00.159
Because she won MVP of the All-Star Game.
00:36:00.320 --> 00:36:02.079
Because she won MVP of the All-Star Game.
00:36:02.320 --> 00:36:04.239
Also, so random.
00:36:04.480 --> 00:36:05.679
I wasn't expecting that.
00:36:05.920 --> 00:36:06.960
I'm gonna be honest.
00:36:07.199 --> 00:36:09.039
Yeah, I sure.
00:36:09.519 --> 00:36:10.079
Whatever.
00:36:10.400 --> 00:36:11.039
Yeah.
00:36:11.360 --> 00:36:15.920
Um, she started crying and said it ruined her whole weekend.
00:36:16.880 --> 00:36:17.920
And you know what?
00:36:18.159 --> 00:36:25.519
If I were Sabrina or Brianna Stewart and I heard my teammate say that, I'd be so fucking pissed.
00:36:25.599 --> 00:36:27.360
I'd be like, what are you talking about?
00:36:27.519 --> 00:36:28.320
First of all.
00:36:28.480 --> 00:36:31.760
Second of all, you're supposed to always like have our backs.
00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:34.159
Like, why would you say that about our team?
00:36:34.880 --> 00:36:37.840
Third of all, you're not the one doing all the work, girl.
00:36:38.159 --> 00:36:38.559
Yeah.
00:36:39.199 --> 00:36:42.079
Stewie every puts the whole team on her back every single game.
00:36:42.320 --> 00:36:46.079
It's tough because JJ out here trying to be a point guard.
00:36:46.320 --> 00:36:47.039
No, I know.
00:36:47.199 --> 00:36:58.320
And honestly, what's fucking crazy, and I will get back to this comment, but I very specifically remember I was watching the fucking all-star game, and I just started yelling at Brenda.
00:36:58.400 --> 00:37:02.000
I was just like, I literally have never seen her do this in a pretty uniform.
00:37:02.159 --> 00:37:08.480
She literally did the prettiest post move, a spin, into a fucking lay.
00:37:08.719 --> 00:37:11.840
And I couldn't believe my eyes because I've literally never seen her do this ever.
00:37:12.239 --> 00:37:13.599
Because we never even see her in the paint.
00:37:13.760 --> 00:37:14.880
Because you know what she likes to do?
00:37:14.960 --> 00:37:20.800
She likes to sit at the top of the fucking key and wait for somebody else to rebound and give her the ball.
00:37:20.960 --> 00:37:22.320
And then she shoots a three.
00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:23.280
Which you know what?
00:37:23.360 --> 00:37:28.320
We're gonna get into that in a little bit in in C Fall Spotlight, but like whatever.
00:37:28.480 --> 00:37:38.639
I I I do think that this like kind of begs the question, though, like in regards to the Stud Bud stream, like, do we feel like we should have this kind of access to these personal moments?
00:37:38.719 --> 00:37:41.360
Because if the stream didn't exist, we wouldn't have heard this comment.
00:37:41.519 --> 00:37:41.760
Right.
00:37:41.840 --> 00:37:49.199
I go back and forth because it obviously love to see behind the scenes content, like love to see them being themselves and their own personalities come through.
00:37:49.440 --> 00:37:58.800
But I just feel like in on a weekend when they're all like boozing it up so hard and like really letting their guards down, it's a little like TMI.
00:37:58.880 --> 00:37:59.360
You know what I mean?
00:37:59.599 --> 00:38:01.599
Well, also JJ, I think, was in a weird place too.
00:38:01.679 --> 00:38:05.440
Apparently, she lost her aunt recently, and so she's yeah, grieving that.
00:38:05.599 --> 00:38:09.199
I just feel like I don't know.
00:38:10.400 --> 00:38:16.239
Even if whatever, let's say the stud blood stream did exist, she did get caught saying that.
00:38:16.480 --> 00:38:35.280
I do think that there is a real difference between fans who feel the need to share their every thought on the fucking internet, and then not just share their thought on the internet, but then also like tag her or like do things like I don't know, I just feel like or like go after her hard.
00:38:35.519 --> 00:38:41.199
Yeah, like the way you said like the whole parasocial of it, like low key, like we were kidding.
00:38:41.360 --> 00:39:00.239
Like, I think Bonnie and I are very clear on the fact that we do not know these players, we don't know them personally, but there are some people who really don't understand that they do not know them just because you may feel like you have all this access to them, like you don't know them for real, and so it's like weird, it's weird real people, yeah.
00:39:00.320 --> 00:39:03.440
It's just it's the same thing with like just cyberbullying in general.
00:39:03.519 --> 00:39:08.159
Like, yeah, you you could keep some of those thoughts in a draft, yeah.
00:39:08.239 --> 00:39:22.320
Like write them down in your journal, show them to your therapist, or like text your friends about them because I like aggressively text this the group text every time JJ pisses me off, but I'm not gonna get on the internet and be like, JJ, right, what are you doing?
00:39:22.480 --> 00:39:25.199
Right, like let's be real, she would cook me.
00:39:25.440 --> 00:39:28.960
I think that's a really good thing that everyone should take to heart.
00:39:29.199 --> 00:39:30.400
Yeah, like just like a little reminder.
00:39:30.800 --> 00:39:33.280
Say everything out loud, keep it in the drafts, you know?
00:39:33.440 --> 00:39:35.119
Yeah, we get to get a journal.
00:39:35.360 --> 00:39:37.119
Get a journal, write in it every day.
00:39:37.280 --> 00:39:39.440
Yeah, get a cat, talk to your cat.
00:39:39.840 --> 00:39:41.119
Literally, it helps.
00:39:41.360 --> 00:39:42.159
It does help.
00:39:42.639 --> 00:39:43.840
Talk to my cat all the time.
00:39:44.719 --> 00:39:44.880
Yeah.
00:39:45.280 --> 00:39:48.400
I mean, I feel like that wasn't the only dramatic thing that happened.
00:39:48.719 --> 00:39:53.519
No, we also had We had AZ winning the three-point competition.
00:39:53.760 --> 00:39:55.119
Wait, did you talk about Nelissa?
00:39:55.280 --> 00:39:56.239
Oh fuck, no.
00:39:56.480 --> 00:39:56.960
Sorry.
00:39:57.199 --> 00:39:59.920
I mean, like, okay, sorry, back to the Stud Bud stream.
00:40:00.239 --> 00:40:01.119
Back to the Stud Buds shoot.
00:40:01.280 --> 00:40:02.719
The Stud Buds were having a party.
00:40:02.880 --> 00:40:03.440
Yeah.
00:40:03.760 --> 00:40:05.440
And in their hotel room?
00:40:05.599 --> 00:40:09.519
No, it was like in a club, but it was like a Stud Bud sponsored party.
00:40:10.079 --> 00:40:12.400
And Dejanae is close with the Stud Buds.
00:40:12.480 --> 00:40:12.719
Yeah.
00:40:12.880 --> 00:40:15.199
She played in Minnesota with them last season.
00:40:15.519 --> 00:40:20.880
Nelyssa Smith apparently showed up with, I believe, Aliyah Nye, maybe, who's her teammate.
00:40:21.119 --> 00:40:22.480
And Deja Kelly, I think.
00:40:22.639 --> 00:40:24.880
I don't know if I don't know if the three of them were together.
00:40:25.119 --> 00:40:25.360
Okay.
00:40:25.599 --> 00:40:31.119
I just know Nelissa showed up and she got escorted out by security.
00:40:31.360 --> 00:40:43.599
I don't know what happened at this party, but I do remember waking up to a tweet that said, since motherfuckers want to be funny, I'ma be hilarious.
00:40:43.760 --> 00:40:44.159
Yes.
00:40:44.400 --> 00:40:50.480
Nelissa cheated with Alia Nye and Deja Kelly, plus plus plus many more.
00:40:50.719 --> 00:40:51.760
That is verbatim.
00:40:52.159 --> 00:40:53.920
I have that tweet in brain that I'm going to be.
00:40:55.360 --> 00:40:55.679
Yeah.
00:40:55.920 --> 00:40:56.239
Um.
00:40:57.199 --> 00:40:58.400
Which is crazy.
00:40:58.639 --> 00:40:59.440
Which is crazy.
00:40:59.599 --> 00:41:06.719
And so, of course, the internet is like we gotta study Nelissa Smith's game.
00:41:06.880 --> 00:41:12.079
The fact that she pulled off three of them, and then people are starting to talk about it in like a basketball concert.
00:41:12.239 --> 00:41:16.559
They're like an elite ball handler, an elite defensive menace, an elite.
00:41:16.800 --> 00:41:20.880
They said she's a better GM than most around the league, which is fucking crazy.
00:41:21.119 --> 00:41:22.800
Better than Jonathan, Jonathan Cole.
00:41:22.960 --> 00:41:24.400
Definitely better than Jonathan Cole.
00:41:24.639 --> 00:41:25.679
We'll get to that later.
00:41:25.920 --> 00:41:27.280
More on that later.
00:41:28.159 --> 00:41:30.800
But yeah, so then I don't know if you saw this.
00:41:30.960 --> 00:41:32.559
Nelissa Smith went on live.
00:41:32.800 --> 00:41:35.440
I saw her wearing a red tie, and I had to score scroll past her.
00:41:36.800 --> 00:41:44.480
Then goes on a fucking live, and she's like, essentially, like, yeah, I cheated.
00:41:44.639 --> 00:41:46.239
Why are we bringing it up now?
00:41:46.480 --> 00:41:47.760
A year later.
00:41:48.000 --> 00:41:50.400
So she didn't even deny the allegations.
00:41:51.199 --> 00:41:56.000
And so then, of course, again, some people don't know how to leave their thoughts in the draft.
00:41:56.079 --> 00:42:02.400
And so, of course, there's a lot of discourse online about well, maybe Dijanay also cheated.
00:42:02.480 --> 00:42:09.360
They've broken up a bunch of times, and Jackie's clearly a rebound, and Dijanay wants Nalissa to be jealous, and da-da-da.
00:42:09.679 --> 00:42:12.719
And again, y'all don't know them.
00:42:12.960 --> 00:42:14.480
Like, literally, just stop.
00:42:14.719 --> 00:42:22.159
It's giving, it's giving, like, just based on what we do know and what has been public about this relationship, it's giving that they definitely were very on and off.
00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:22.480
Yeah.
00:42:22.559 --> 00:42:24.400
And it's giving that they were toxic.
00:42:24.559 --> 00:42:24.960
Yeah.
00:42:25.199 --> 00:42:28.960
And so all I know is that's none of my business.
00:42:29.280 --> 00:42:31.360
Like, I'm not gonna comment on it publicly.
00:42:31.599 --> 00:42:35.039
But I do want to say, I guess DJ is not just gay for Nelyssa.
00:42:35.360 --> 00:42:36.400
And that's T.
00:42:36.800 --> 00:42:42.480
Because she was apparently also engaged to another basketball player even before Alyssa.
00:42:42.559 --> 00:42:43.760
I don't know why she would say that.
00:42:44.079 --> 00:42:46.800
Anyway, Jackie's I love Jackie Young.
00:42:47.039 --> 00:42:51.599
Jackie's like a steady, you know, like a steady good person.
00:42:51.840 --> 00:42:52.960
Okay, just one thing.
00:42:53.440 --> 00:42:54.239
What would she do?
00:42:54.880 --> 00:42:55.519
No, one tweet.
00:42:55.840 --> 00:42:56.880
You just made me think of it.
00:42:57.039 --> 00:43:04.480
One tweet that I did think was really funny commenting on the drama was that Asia's about to stop doing the happy pride cake.
00:43:04.559 --> 00:43:09.519
She says she's about to make that locker room homophobic as fuck since they being so messy.
00:43:10.639 --> 00:43:15.679
They said she running a tight ship and it's about to be a homophobic ass locker room.
00:43:15.840 --> 00:43:17.119
No more cake for you.
00:43:17.360 --> 00:43:18.000
No more.
00:43:18.320 --> 00:43:19.119
That's it.
00:43:19.440 --> 00:43:24.000
Well, I felt like the whole weekend was like an episode of Queer Ultimatum.
00:43:24.159 --> 00:43:24.880
Oh my gosh.
00:43:25.280 --> 00:43:26.239
I can't talk about that show.
00:43:26.400 --> 00:43:31.920
Thank God we never got another season of that because that was probably some of the most stressful TV I have ever watched.
00:43:32.639 --> 00:43:34.320
That shit was a mess.
00:43:34.559 --> 00:43:35.199
It was.
00:43:35.599 --> 00:43:36.239
My God.
00:43:36.320 --> 00:43:43.360
I just man, and it's like you you watch these shows and you're just like, there's just no fucking way.
00:43:43.519 --> 00:43:48.880
I remember when Brenda and I were watching it, and we, of course, naturally put ourselves in that situation.
00:43:49.039 --> 00:43:58.639
And I was just like, if we were together and I'm watching you across the room flirt with somebody else right in front of me, couldn't be me.
00:43:58.960 --> 00:43:59.760
No, it's crazy.
00:44:00.239 --> 00:44:02.320
So I just couldn't be on that show.
00:44:02.559 --> 00:44:02.800
No.
00:44:03.039 --> 00:44:05.840
Like I would be sick to my stomach, fam.
00:44:06.079 --> 00:44:08.000
That's what they say in Toronto, I heard.
00:44:08.239 --> 00:44:18.719
But well, I will say the last thing I wanted to mention about, or two of the two of the things I wanted to mention about the All-Star weekend, was AZ won the three-point competition.
00:44:18.880 --> 00:44:20.719
Woohoo! Which I think is to be expected.
00:44:20.800 --> 00:44:31.840
There was some drama there though, where uh Bleacher Report and ESPN were reporting that Sabrina uh declined, Caitlin declined, and that Kayla McBride also declined.
00:44:32.079 --> 00:44:39.280
Sabrina, who is notably a quiet little girl, she commented on the post and said lies.
00:44:39.440 --> 00:44:42.000
Apparently, neither she nor Kayla McBride were invited.
00:44:42.159 --> 00:44:44.719
Who knows if Caitlin Clark was and who cares?
00:44:45.519 --> 00:44:46.159
Yeah, who cares?
00:44:46.239 --> 00:44:50.960
Because she's she is shooting like maybe like 30, maybe 20 something percent from three.
00:44:51.199 --> 00:44:52.400
So like she wouldn't even qualify.
00:44:52.719 --> 00:44:57.039
She did decline because she would not have made it.
00:44:57.119 --> 00:45:01.360
But then also AZ won, Sabrina's record is still intact.
00:45:01.440 --> 00:45:05.119
I believe she had 37 uh when she last competed.
00:45:05.199 --> 00:45:05.920
So she did.
00:45:06.159 --> 00:45:07.599
Shout out to Sabrina.
00:45:07.920 --> 00:45:14.400
And then I just wanted to point out that Caitlin Clark did still lead the All-Star game in turnovers.
00:45:14.480 --> 00:45:16.400
If she's anything, it's consistent.
00:45:16.639 --> 00:45:19.920
And so when there people aren't even trying, she was still turning it off.
00:45:20.159 --> 00:45:22.480
She had five turnovers, which is crazy.
00:45:22.639 --> 00:45:24.480
If I have five turnovers, like you would get benched.
00:45:24.639 --> 00:45:45.039
Anyway, the last thing I want to mention about kind of All-Star Weekend as it relates to Caitlin Clark is I'm a little sick and tired of Nike trying to force feed this Caitlin Clark PR campaign where she needs to be likable because she has a signature sneaker, which we haven't talked about intentionally because she did not fucking deserve it.
00:45:45.440 --> 00:45:49.039
But this new sneaker drops in October.
00:45:49.199 --> 00:45:52.960
Honestly, I think it drops the day before my birthday, but that's hella, it's hella disrespectful.
00:45:53.199 --> 00:45:54.880
Yeah, why didn't you guys know that?
00:45:55.119 --> 00:45:56.639
Super disrespectful.
00:45:56.960 --> 00:46:08.480
But essentially, they're on this PR campaign where they're trying to force feed her to us because shocker, white folks in middle America do not have the money to spend on$140 sneakers.
00:46:08.719 --> 00:46:09.440
Who does?
00:46:09.599 --> 00:46:11.679
Black people who stand athletes.
00:46:11.920 --> 00:46:16.000
So they're putting her on this campaign to make her more likable to black folks.
00:46:16.239 --> 00:46:21.840
Things like gifting the stud buds with two pairs of Caitlin Clark sneakers.
00:46:22.079 --> 00:46:23.920
She also was spotted with Ellie.
00:46:24.000 --> 00:46:25.119
It was just like so forced.
00:46:25.199 --> 00:46:26.320
Ellie don't like you, girl.
00:46:26.559 --> 00:46:27.119
I just know it.
00:46:27.360 --> 00:46:28.079
Ellie don't like you.
00:46:28.400 --> 00:46:30.400
Wait, one more thing about Courtney Williams.
00:46:30.559 --> 00:46:35.280
She was like like hugging and like posing in with Caitlin Clark.
00:46:35.440 --> 00:46:38.159
Oh no, I mean it was like that last All-Star weekend, too.
00:46:38.239 --> 00:46:39.360
She's just up her ass.
00:46:39.599 --> 00:46:41.199
Which is, I'm like, gross.
00:46:41.360 --> 00:46:41.679
Yeah.
00:46:41.920 --> 00:46:43.119
Anyway, keep going.
00:46:43.360 --> 00:46:46.000
And so they they had her with Ellie.
00:46:46.079 --> 00:46:48.480
They also had her with fucking Barack Obama.
00:46:49.039 --> 00:46:57.599
They had her do the all-star pregame uh presser with Paige, who couldn't look more like she didn't want to fucking be there, sat next to her.
00:46:57.760 --> 00:46:58.960
That was the best photo I saw.
00:46:59.119 --> 00:47:00.400
Yeah, no, it was incredible.
00:47:00.559 --> 00:47:18.880
And then it's like you can tell that all of this is PR though, because on the studbudge stream, Teesh wasn't she wasn't an all-star, so she was sitting behind the bench, behind Caitlin Clark, and she jokingly said, Oh, here she goes, and Courtney Williams like shot a three-ball and missed, and Teesh jokingly said, It's the shoes.
00:47:19.039 --> 00:47:24.639
And the way Caitlin snapped her neck, turned around, and like says some nasty shit to her, I was just like, Oh, there she is.
00:47:24.800 --> 00:47:26.239
That's who we're looking for.
00:47:27.360 --> 00:47:29.840
So I don't know.
00:47:29.920 --> 00:47:33.519
I'm really hoping that her sneakers flop.
00:47:33.599 --> 00:47:35.599
I hope they and they're also fucking ugly.
00:47:35.840 --> 00:47:37.679
I hope they disintegrate.
00:47:38.000 --> 00:47:39.840
Yeah, they're fucking ugly.
00:47:40.079 --> 00:47:43.039
So that's all the time we're spending on that.
00:47:44.000 --> 00:47:46.079
Wait, did you want to talk about the new skills challenge?
00:47:46.320 --> 00:47:47.760
Oh fuck, you're right.
00:47:48.159 --> 00:47:50.239
Because I didn't even know that was happening.
00:47:50.480 --> 00:47:53.519
I knew it was happening right before it was happening.
00:47:54.000 --> 00:47:59.440
And that also happened on Brenda's birthday, and I think it was really fucking rude for them to introduce a new format on Brenda's birthday.
00:47:59.599 --> 00:48:01.280
Yeah, we were like, who are these people?
00:48:01.599 --> 00:48:01.920
Yeah.
00:48:02.159 --> 00:48:06.639
So essentially Nike athletes, I didn't know them, but like, I'm sorry, I didn't know you.
00:48:06.960 --> 00:48:21.280
No, so they brought in so they brought in high school athletes, WNBA legend, and then an active player in the WNBA, and then they were all shooting the ball from this different places on the court, and then each shot was valued at a certain number of points.
00:48:21.440 --> 00:48:21.920
I don't know.
00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:23.039
I thought it was kind of corny.
00:48:23.119 --> 00:48:23.599
What do we play?
00:48:23.679 --> 00:48:24.159
What are we playing?
00:48:24.400 --> 00:48:24.960
Fucking horse?
00:48:25.119 --> 00:48:28.079
Yeah, it was like, well, they didn't even really explain the rule.
00:48:28.400 --> 00:48:30.559
Like did they have to make two and then they could move on?
00:48:30.719 --> 00:48:32.800
Or they just all had to shoot from the same spot.
00:48:33.039 --> 00:48:36.079
But then they all shot all the half-court shots, like a million of them.
00:48:36.159 --> 00:48:38.880
And and Team Washington won, so yeah.
00:48:39.119 --> 00:48:39.599
Sure.
00:48:39.840 --> 00:48:40.320
Sure.
00:48:40.559 --> 00:48:41.119
I don't know.
00:48:41.280 --> 00:48:42.400
I didn't get it.
00:48:42.639 --> 00:48:44.800
I didn't like it, and I didn't care.
00:48:45.199 --> 00:48:45.840
Yep.
00:48:46.079 --> 00:48:48.079
I think that's it, right?
00:48:48.320 --> 00:48:57.119
Yeah, I mean, to be fair, like I'm it's fun to see high school athletes in vets compete, I guess.
00:48:57.280 --> 00:48:59.199
But I care more about the current players.
00:48:59.440 --> 00:48:59.599
Yeah.
00:48:59.920 --> 00:49:03.119
Wait, also wait, this is the real last thing.
00:49:03.440 --> 00:49:04.000
What?
00:49:04.880 --> 00:49:10.800
Why like so they did the all-star team intros like before the oh, you were at a party, weren't you?
00:49:10.960 --> 00:49:12.079
I didn't see it, yeah.
00:49:12.320 --> 00:49:17.599
Bro, they brought out like these random ass like breakdancers.
00:49:17.679 --> 00:49:23.119
Like people were like dancing on stage while they were introducing the coaches and the players, and I was just what the fuck is this?
00:49:23.199 --> 00:49:23.840
You got served?
00:49:23.920 --> 00:49:25.039
What the fuck is going on here?
00:49:25.280 --> 00:49:26.079
It was so weird.
00:49:27.119 --> 00:49:31.920
No, and then and then they only introduced two of the coaches, and then they never introduced the other team's coaches.
00:49:32.000 --> 00:49:32.320
I don't know.
00:49:32.400 --> 00:49:32.960
It was really good.
00:49:33.280 --> 00:49:35.199
Kathy, what are we doing, babe?
00:49:35.599 --> 00:49:37.280
Get some get some real people.
00:49:37.599 --> 00:49:40.800
You know who they need to do, get to do the event.
00:49:41.840 --> 00:49:42.480
I know.
00:49:43.039 --> 00:49:46.400
I know a couple of experiential girlies who could do a good job.
00:49:46.559 --> 00:49:47.199
Yeah.
00:49:49.519 --> 00:49:50.159
Imagination.
00:49:50.480 --> 00:49:51.119
Kathy did.
00:49:51.280 --> 00:50:02.800
Kathy did like they were like, she was asked the question, oh, like, what do you think is the most like underrated thing or misunderstood thing about being like the commissioner, blah, blah, blah.
00:50:02.880 --> 00:50:05.360
And she was like, We work, I work really hard.
00:50:05.599 --> 00:50:08.159
Like, there's so much strategizing that goes into it.
00:50:08.239 --> 00:50:10.960
And I said, Girl, don't even stop.
00:50:11.519 --> 00:50:12.159
Enough.
00:50:12.480 --> 00:50:12.880
Enough.
00:50:13.199 --> 00:50:14.639
Show us the proof, Kathy.
00:50:15.360 --> 00:50:15.679
Yeah.
00:50:15.840 --> 00:50:18.000
So I don't, I don't know, I don't know what Kathy got going on.
00:50:18.159 --> 00:50:22.559
Brenda, Brenda reminded me that Caitlin was also booed during her intro.
00:50:22.719 --> 00:50:23.280
That's crazy.
00:50:23.440 --> 00:50:24.159
She was booed.
00:50:24.320 --> 00:50:25.840
Paige got a louder cheer.
00:50:26.000 --> 00:50:27.440
Shakira got a loud cheer.
00:50:27.519 --> 00:50:28.639
Angel got a loud cheer.
00:50:29.039 --> 00:50:30.960
Gabby Williams also got a louder cheer.
00:50:31.119 --> 00:50:34.639
Oh, Gabby and Marine were so weird.
00:50:35.280 --> 00:50:35.760
So cute.
00:50:35.920 --> 00:50:38.639
I was just like, they're so gay and cute.
00:50:39.199 --> 00:50:40.559
I love that they're out now.
00:50:40.719 --> 00:50:41.119
I know.
00:50:41.360 --> 00:50:42.159
I really love it.
00:50:42.239 --> 00:50:43.360
They're so sweet.
00:50:43.599 --> 00:50:47.679
Marie, Marie Johannes has really grown on me.
00:50:47.760 --> 00:50:50.800
I feel like we're seeing a little bit more of her personality, even though she's shy.
00:50:50.960 --> 00:50:53.519
Yeah, she's so I just think she's so sweet.
00:50:54.800 --> 00:50:57.440
And she keeps fucking saying aggressivity.
00:50:58.239 --> 00:50:59.760
She's so cute.
00:51:00.159 --> 00:51:01.519
I can't get enough of it.
00:51:01.599 --> 00:51:05.440
Every time she says aggressivity, I'm like, yes, yes, bitch.
00:51:05.679 --> 00:51:05.840
Yes.
00:51:06.079 --> 00:51:07.039
Aggressivity.
00:51:07.519 --> 00:51:07.840
Oh.
00:51:08.639 --> 00:51:08.960
Okay.
00:51:09.440 --> 00:51:10.000
Adorable.
00:51:10.480 --> 00:51:15.599
We we unfortunately have to get to our last segment that I really don't want to talk about, but we're going to talk about anyway.
00:51:15.760 --> 00:51:20.079
So next up we have the sea foam spotlight.
00:51:20.480 --> 00:51:20.800
Okay.
00:51:21.360 --> 00:51:24.800
Let's talk about sea foam spotlight begrudgingly.
00:51:25.039 --> 00:51:25.519
Yeah.
00:51:25.760 --> 00:51:26.639
Lots of problems.
00:51:26.800 --> 00:51:27.360
Lots of problems.
00:51:27.440 --> 00:51:28.880
We'll start on the positive, I guess.
00:51:29.039 --> 00:51:30.400
We'll start on the pause.
00:51:30.800 --> 00:51:36.639
We did right before All Star Break have an insane fourth quarter rally against the Sky.
00:51:37.039 --> 00:51:38.400
Let me repeat that for you.
00:51:38.639 --> 00:51:42.079
An insane fourth quarter rally against the Sky.
00:51:42.320 --> 00:51:44.000
The last 10 seconds of that game.
00:51:44.480 --> 00:51:45.280
The sky.
00:51:45.519 --> 00:51:46.480
The sky.
00:51:46.960 --> 00:51:48.559
I just wanted to emphasize that.
00:51:48.880 --> 00:51:50.000
Poverty franchise.
00:51:50.159 --> 00:51:53.199
We were rallying against a poverty franchise.
00:51:53.440 --> 00:51:54.800
And I wouldn't even say we.
00:51:55.039 --> 00:51:56.880
Because I think that was all Sabrina Unescu.
00:51:57.119 --> 00:52:00.320
She scored like nine points in 20 seconds or something.
00:52:00.639 --> 00:52:01.599
Something insane.
00:52:01.840 --> 00:52:08.079
She just I knew I knew she was playing out of her fucking mind when she hit a fadeaway three in the corner.
00:52:08.559 --> 00:52:10.400
Literally like fell to the bench.
00:52:10.800 --> 00:52:12.880
That was the first, that was the first one that fell.
00:52:13.199 --> 00:52:15.840
And when she said that, I said, okay, there's still time.
00:52:16.000 --> 00:52:16.880
We just have to be perfect.
00:52:17.199 --> 00:52:17.679
Here we go.
00:52:17.840 --> 00:52:19.760
And then she was, in fact, perfect.
00:52:20.000 --> 00:52:20.880
Perfect.
00:52:21.280 --> 00:52:22.639
This wow.
00:52:22.800 --> 00:52:24.320
Re we we needed her.
00:52:24.480 --> 00:52:25.119
We really needed her.
00:52:25.360 --> 00:52:27.840
And I'm glad she's back because it took her a little bit.
00:52:28.239 --> 00:52:30.559
I just really hope that this all-star break doesn't fuck her up.
00:52:30.800 --> 00:52:32.239
But it was really incredible.
00:52:32.480 --> 00:52:38.320
We were down, I don't know, like eight points, and then all of a sudden she was shooting lights out from three.
00:52:38.719 --> 00:52:40.880
And this is kind of what we were talking about earlier.
00:52:41.119 --> 00:52:56.960
I say that this was all Sabrina because there were so many instances that game where I was watching John Quell guaranteed to piss me off, Jones, sitting at the top of the fucking key, waiting for someone to get the rebound so that she could get the ball again.
00:52:57.119 --> 00:52:59.599
Babe, you gotta be getting the rebounds.
00:52:59.679 --> 00:53:00.559
Yeah, you gotta get down there.
00:53:00.800 --> 00:53:02.719
You supposed to be down there because tell me why.
00:53:02.960 --> 00:53:13.280
There was one play I specifically remember Pauline Nastier was in the paint trying to get an offensive rebound while JJ big ass was at the top of the key.
00:53:13.840 --> 00:53:16.079
And I was like, That's not how it should be.
00:53:16.320 --> 00:53:20.880
No, she was literally crouched down waiting for the ball so that she could shoot.
00:53:20.960 --> 00:53:22.800
And I said, I know you fucking lying.
00:53:22.960 --> 00:53:23.840
That's crazy.
00:53:24.079 --> 00:53:25.280
It was actually crazy.
00:53:25.519 --> 00:53:29.440
Stewie was also, I don't think, playing her best basketball.
00:53:29.599 --> 00:53:32.239
It was just all around a mess.
00:53:32.400 --> 00:53:34.559
We should not have been in that predicament at all.
00:53:34.719 --> 00:53:37.679
Their undrafted rookie had 31 points.
00:53:38.000 --> 00:53:40.800
Their undrafted rookie Sidney Taylor.
00:53:40.880 --> 00:53:41.039
Yeah.
00:53:41.199 --> 00:53:41.920
Yeah, she was undrafted.
00:53:42.079 --> 00:53:43.840
Undrafted lights out.
00:53:44.159 --> 00:53:45.039
Rookie.
00:53:45.840 --> 00:53:46.639
31 points.
00:53:47.039 --> 00:53:48.639
I didn't realize she was undrafted.
00:53:48.960 --> 00:53:49.840
Undrafted.
00:53:50.000 --> 00:53:51.360
Nobody wanted her.
00:53:52.000 --> 00:53:52.480
Wow.
00:53:52.639 --> 00:53:54.159
Is that not crazy?
00:53:54.800 --> 00:53:56.800
Chicago is lucky to have her.
00:53:57.039 --> 00:53:57.440
Yeah.
00:53:57.679 --> 00:54:00.960
They are very lucky, but if I know them, they'll lose her.
00:54:01.199 --> 00:54:02.159
Of course.
00:54:02.480 --> 00:54:08.159
Because there was an instance where the game was still very much in contention.
00:54:09.039 --> 00:54:11.599
Sabrina had hit like three threes in a row.
00:54:11.840 --> 00:54:13.599
It was a tie game.
00:54:14.400 --> 00:54:16.159
And no, it wasn't a tie game.
00:54:16.480 --> 00:54:18.480
I think we were down three at that point.
00:54:19.280 --> 00:54:21.519
Sabrina was at the top of the key with the ball.
00:54:21.840 --> 00:54:24.480
She was trying to see what she was finna do.
00:54:24.800 --> 00:54:26.960
Azare gave her some space.
00:54:27.199 --> 00:54:28.800
She drove to the basket.
00:54:28.960 --> 00:54:33.440
You can see and hear Sidney Taylor saying, Don't foul.
00:54:33.679 --> 00:54:34.639
Don't foul.
00:54:34.719 --> 00:54:36.079
And what did Azare do?
00:54:36.320 --> 00:54:36.880
She fouled.
00:54:37.119 --> 00:54:37.760
She fouled.
00:54:37.840 --> 00:54:44.320
And that to me says a lot about leadership on that team because Azare is a million-dollar contract player now.
00:54:45.039 --> 00:54:47.280
And she is a vet.
00:54:47.679 --> 00:54:47.760
Yeah.
00:54:49.119 --> 00:54:53.519
And why is the underactor rookie telling you not to foul in a game this tight?
00:54:53.760 --> 00:54:55.280
Yeah, that's that's bad.
00:54:56.480 --> 00:54:58.079
We gotta use the noggin.
00:54:58.960 --> 00:55:00.960
Not a fouling situation.
00:55:01.280 --> 00:55:03.760
And then the Liberty tied the game.
00:55:04.320 --> 00:55:06.639
So I like I don't really know.
00:55:06.960 --> 00:55:07.440
I don't know.
00:55:07.519 --> 00:55:08.960
It's a it's a poppy franchise.
00:55:09.039 --> 00:55:12.239
Skylar Diggins didn't even travel with the team there.
00:55:13.039 --> 00:55:22.800
Natasha Cloud came back to New York and they played a tribute video, which I'm gonna be honest, I thought was a little unnecessary.
00:55:23.440 --> 00:55:25.039
She played for New York for one season.
00:55:25.280 --> 00:55:26.320
But they do it for everyone.
00:55:26.559 --> 00:55:27.039
Do they?
00:55:27.280 --> 00:55:27.519
Yeah.
00:55:27.840 --> 00:55:32.800
They don't really do that in the NBA where they like you play one season and all of a sudden they get a fucking tribute video.
00:55:33.519 --> 00:55:35.519
But you know she had got a lot of fans.
00:55:35.840 --> 00:55:41.840
I just, you know, I'm really I'm in a place where I feel like we're being a little too soft.
00:55:42.000 --> 00:55:42.559
That's fair.
00:55:42.800 --> 00:55:44.000
From a liberty perspective.
00:55:44.400 --> 00:55:45.280
I think it's fair.
00:55:45.519 --> 00:55:50.559
Like, even and I said this in the chat, I think we gotta start booing them.
00:55:50.639 --> 00:55:52.880
The next time Stewie airballs, I'm fucking booing.
00:55:53.199 --> 00:55:53.840
I'm not gonna boo.
00:55:54.159 --> 00:55:55.039
I don't need her to hear it.
00:55:55.519 --> 00:55:55.760
No.
00:55:56.079 --> 00:55:59.679
I want her to notice me booing her from section one.
00:56:00.000 --> 00:56:01.119
She's gonna kick you out.
00:56:01.440 --> 00:56:02.320
Why would she kick me out?
00:56:02.400 --> 00:56:02.960
I'm holding on to the case.
00:56:03.119 --> 00:56:03.760
Because you're booing.
00:56:04.000 --> 00:56:04.719
I'm making her better.
00:56:04.800 --> 00:56:07.280
Well, Marta tells her that she's lazy and doesn't play defense.
00:56:07.599 --> 00:56:08.480
Yeah, but that's her wife.
00:56:09.840 --> 00:56:11.840
That would make me even sicker.
00:56:12.639 --> 00:56:24.159
What if we were playing a game and Brenda was watching, and after the game she told me, You're so fucking lazy you don't play defense, I would have to jump off the broken bridge.
00:56:24.480 --> 00:56:25.599
Because that's crazy.
00:56:26.719 --> 00:56:29.119
I guess it's different because Marta played basketball.
00:56:29.440 --> 00:56:29.920
Yeah.
00:56:30.480 --> 00:56:34.559
But it's like, you don't think I know that I'm fucking lazy and that I'm not playing defense?
00:56:34.719 --> 00:56:35.920
I gotta hear from my wife.
00:56:36.400 --> 00:56:38.239
Do you think Zui knows?
00:56:39.440 --> 00:56:39.920
Yeah.
00:56:42.000 --> 00:56:45.519
But she's not the shittiest person on the team right now.
00:56:45.840 --> 00:56:48.400
I mean she's the best black person on the team right now.
00:56:48.800 --> 00:56:49.599
She's yeah.
00:56:50.079 --> 00:56:51.760
Who do you think is the shittiest?
00:56:53.039 --> 00:56:54.880
Who do I think is the shittiest?
00:56:55.119 --> 00:56:56.239
Chris DeMarco.
00:56:57.679 --> 00:57:01.119
Yeah, we started this pot out with a lot of hope for him.
00:57:02.000 --> 00:57:03.199
This season started out.
00:57:03.280 --> 00:57:03.760
We were trying.
00:57:04.400 --> 00:57:05.360
I didn't have a lot of hope for him.
00:57:06.079 --> 00:57:07.840
I think we were trying to give him grace.
00:57:08.000 --> 00:57:08.800
Yeah, we yeah.
00:57:09.039 --> 00:57:11.519
And be like, you know, let's see what happens.
00:57:11.760 --> 00:57:16.880
We like some of the stuff that he was doing with like the pressure defense and like running some plays.
00:57:17.119 --> 00:57:17.920
But the defense isn't even.
00:57:18.320 --> 00:57:19.840
He has lost the plot somewhere.
00:57:20.079 --> 00:57:21.440
Yeah, he lost in the sauce.
00:57:21.679 --> 00:57:22.000
Okay.
00:57:22.159 --> 00:57:24.639
He's lost in translation, but Naja hasn't played.
00:57:25.199 --> 00:57:28.559
But Naja hasn't played the all, which is insane.
00:57:29.280 --> 00:57:33.039
Man, the fans refer to China for her at the games.
00:57:33.280 --> 00:57:34.960
Again, I heard it again this last game.
00:57:35.039 --> 00:57:35.679
Yeah.
00:57:36.000 --> 00:57:41.119
Um, they're putting Raquel Carrera in there.
00:57:42.079 --> 00:57:43.760
And Marine Fatouks.
00:57:47.119 --> 00:57:47.599
I mean.
00:57:47.920 --> 00:57:50.960
And none of those, neither of those players have any business being on the court.
00:57:51.199 --> 00:57:54.159
We got two different Martins on the court and no Betonizer.
00:57:54.239 --> 00:57:55.760
The math ain't mathing for me.
00:57:55.920 --> 00:57:58.639
I think we only got space for one Martin and one Betonija.
00:57:59.119 --> 00:57:59.519
Agree.
00:58:00.000 --> 00:58:06.239
And and and I don't even know why Rock Rock Alcavera is getting my head.
00:58:06.559 --> 00:58:08.239
I don't even know why she's on the team.
00:58:09.039 --> 00:58:10.400
I don't actually know either.
00:58:10.559 --> 00:58:13.039
Well I will say not an apology.
00:58:13.679 --> 00:58:15.119
Not an apology.
00:58:15.519 --> 00:58:15.840
Okay.
00:58:16.079 --> 00:58:17.519
Sounds like it's gonna be an apology.
00:58:18.719 --> 00:58:20.639
Rebecca Allen has turned it around a little bit.
00:58:21.039 --> 00:58:23.360
Okay, yeah, she had a great game this last game.
00:58:23.760 --> 00:58:29.679
I felt like oh my god, you know Australi Fuck.
00:58:29.920 --> 00:58:32.480
I was about to call it Australian Backyard again.
00:58:32.800 --> 00:58:34.320
Outback Steakhouse.
00:58:34.800 --> 00:58:37.840
I just saw a commercial literally yesterday.
00:58:38.320 --> 00:58:40.719
And now listen.
00:58:41.440 --> 00:58:42.320
No listen.
00:58:42.480 --> 00:58:48.000
Because ever since Eliza shared that chant with me, I hear it everywhere.
00:58:48.400 --> 00:58:51.840
And there was a commercial for Australian Backyard.
00:58:52.159 --> 00:58:53.039
And they said it.
00:58:53.360 --> 00:59:03.760
No, it was a bunch of Americans at the table, and like the voiceover was like Aussie Aussie Aussie, and they were like, Oi, oi, oi, and then of course the lady did a fourth oi, and I was like, that's not how you do it.
00:59:04.000 --> 00:59:04.960
Oh my god.
00:59:06.320 --> 00:59:08.159
I've never eaten there and we'll never eat there.
00:59:08.719 --> 00:59:11.039
They got a really good honey wheat bread specifically.
00:59:11.360 --> 00:59:12.480
What about the bloom and onion?
00:59:12.559 --> 00:59:12.960
Is that good?
00:59:13.199 --> 00:59:13.519
I don't know.
00:59:13.599 --> 00:59:14.159
I never had that.
00:59:14.320 --> 00:59:14.559
Okay.
00:59:14.639 --> 00:59:15.760
I thought everybody had that.
00:59:16.079 --> 00:59:16.480
I don't know.
00:59:16.559 --> 00:59:17.360
I don't go there often.
00:59:17.760 --> 00:59:18.000
Okay.
00:59:18.719 --> 00:59:19.840
I just remember the bread.
00:59:20.000 --> 00:59:24.880
The honey wheat bread is I mean, I'm still not gonna try it.
00:59:25.119 --> 00:59:26.639
No, I mean, why would you go there?
00:59:26.719 --> 00:59:28.159
You got a real Australian backyard.
00:59:28.480 --> 00:59:29.039
It's true.
00:59:29.199 --> 00:59:31.119
Yeah, so anyway.
00:59:31.440 --> 00:59:32.480
Uh yeah.
00:59:33.440 --> 00:59:36.480
The long and short is that we fucked.
00:59:36.719 --> 00:59:38.800
Yeah, I just like don't know who we are.
00:59:38.960 --> 00:59:40.000
We have no identity.
00:59:40.159 --> 00:59:40.480
Mm-mm.
00:59:40.880 --> 00:59:42.719
Satu got another fucking injury.
00:59:42.800 --> 00:59:46.800
I was talking to the guy who sits behind us the other day, and he was like, they need Satu.
00:59:47.119 --> 00:59:48.320
And I got to a point where I was fed up.
00:59:48.400 --> 00:59:49.840
I turned around and said, We don't need Satu.
00:59:50.239 --> 00:59:50.880
She's always injured.
00:59:51.119 --> 00:59:52.000
We never needed Satu.
00:59:52.480 --> 00:59:53.440
She's always injured.
00:59:53.599 --> 00:59:56.639
And he was like, Yeah, but when she's not, I said, but when, when, when?
00:59:57.039 --> 00:59:57.840
When is she not injured?
00:59:59.679 --> 01:00:00.800
If is good.
01:00:01.119 --> 01:00:01.679
You know?
01:00:01.840 --> 01:00:03.119
So I don't.
01:00:03.519 --> 01:00:04.079
I don't know.
01:00:04.159 --> 01:00:05.440
It's really frustrating.
01:00:05.599 --> 01:00:10.639
And honestly, like going to these Liberty games now feels like such a chore.
01:00:10.880 --> 01:00:12.000
It feels like such a chore.
01:00:12.159 --> 01:00:15.360
Like the last game, I was damn near like, damn, we gotta go for real.
01:00:15.840 --> 01:00:16.480
I know.
01:00:17.119 --> 01:00:22.639
It's it's hard when like a sports team uh fucks with your emotions so much, you know what I mean?
01:00:22.880 --> 01:00:26.559
Yeah, it's like really it's bad.
01:00:26.800 --> 01:00:30.320
Like I'm just not satisfied with the direction that we're going in.
01:00:30.400 --> 01:00:35.440
And I someone asked me if I thought we would make the playoffs, and to be honest, I don't know where we are.
01:00:35.519 --> 01:00:36.320
I would say no.
01:00:36.639 --> 01:00:39.599
We're seventh right now, so we're hanging on by a fucking thread.
01:00:39.840 --> 01:00:40.719
It is ugly.
01:00:41.360 --> 01:00:42.320
It is so ugly.
01:00:42.639 --> 01:00:44.159
When do playoffs start?
01:00:45.039 --> 01:00:46.079
Like soonish, kind of.
01:00:47.199 --> 01:00:47.519
Yeah.
01:00:48.320 --> 01:00:50.159
Maybe like end of August.
01:00:50.719 --> 01:00:51.039
Oh.
01:00:51.760 --> 01:00:52.880
Or no, early September.
01:00:53.360 --> 01:00:54.400
September 27th.
01:00:54.719 --> 01:00:55.519
Oh, never mind.
01:00:55.840 --> 01:00:57.119
Late September.
01:00:57.519 --> 01:00:58.079
Yeah.
01:00:58.639 --> 01:00:59.920
Do you remember?
01:01:00.719 --> 01:01:03.360
Wait, that's wrong, too, because it's the very first night.
01:01:03.760 --> 01:01:04.079
Oh.
01:01:04.400 --> 01:01:04.719
Yeah.
01:01:05.039 --> 01:01:05.679
Never mind.
01:01:06.079 --> 01:01:06.960
Yeah, I don't know.
01:01:07.039 --> 01:01:10.159
But the way we're playing, unless we can really turn this shit around.
01:01:10.639 --> 01:01:12.400
I don't think we're making the playoffs.
01:01:12.960 --> 01:01:16.159
Which is crazy, then that means they gotta fire Chris Smith DeMarkey.
01:01:16.480 --> 01:01:17.119
I think so.
01:01:17.199 --> 01:01:24.079
And also, like even if we make the playoffs, I don't think it fucking matters, because we ain't winning shit.
01:01:24.480 --> 01:01:26.239
So they gotta fire him.
01:01:26.320 --> 01:01:27.280
Either way, he's fired.
01:01:27.360 --> 01:01:28.719
He better start looking on LinkedIn.
01:01:28.960 --> 01:01:33.599
And then they're and then they're about to have the audacity to raise the fucking prices again, and I'm gonna be stuck in the street.
01:01:33.760 --> 01:01:34.880
They better not stomach.
01:01:35.199 --> 01:01:35.760
They better not.
01:01:36.079 --> 01:01:36.719
They better not.
01:01:36.960 --> 01:01:38.960
Because they'll they're lucky that we're still coming.
01:01:39.360 --> 01:01:44.320
We just look lost, and honestly, like a lot of these games, it's just like I don't know.
01:01:44.480 --> 01:01:48.239
I just feel like there's just like a lack of defensive identity too.
01:01:48.320 --> 01:01:49.280
And which makes sense.
01:01:49.360 --> 01:01:50.320
We've talked about it before.
01:01:50.400 --> 01:01:53.599
With no Leo, with no Bet Nigel, who the fuck are we on defense?
01:01:53.679 --> 01:01:54.559
We're just Stewie.
01:01:55.440 --> 01:01:55.760
Yeah.
01:01:56.000 --> 01:01:57.039
Although, although hold on.
01:01:57.199 --> 01:02:02.480
Sabrina did block Camilla Cardoso's shot during that last game.
01:02:02.800 --> 01:02:04.800
Sabrina said, fuck it, I guess I'll do it.
01:02:04.960 --> 01:02:05.119
Yeah.
01:02:05.360 --> 01:02:08.320
She said, I guess I'll fucking do it.
01:02:09.039 --> 01:02:10.079
Man, shout out to her.
01:02:10.239 --> 01:02:10.719
Shout out to her.
01:02:12.159 --> 01:02:15.599
I do I do love Sabrina, but I do need her to be consistent.
01:02:16.239 --> 01:02:18.239
Because she really hasn't.
01:02:19.199 --> 01:02:20.400
So I don't know.
01:02:20.559 --> 01:02:22.320
Lots of things need to change.
01:02:22.880 --> 01:02:26.559
I do have a feeling they're gonna treat Bet Nija because why is she suiting up at Benija?
01:02:26.719 --> 01:02:30.719
I think Bat Nija at this point wants to be treated.
01:02:31.039 --> 01:02:31.599
I'm so sick.
01:02:31.679 --> 01:02:32.639
I'm so sick about it.
01:02:32.800 --> 01:02:33.840
I'm so sick about it.
01:02:33.920 --> 01:02:39.039
I can't take the I'm sick about it, but if I were her, I would be like, get me the fuck out of here, too.
01:02:39.920 --> 01:02:40.559
You know?
01:02:41.199 --> 01:02:42.559
Like I do.
01:02:44.159 --> 01:03:00.320
It's not her fault that Jonathan Kolb hired a clown and then these coaches are just not doing it right, and like she deserves to be in a on a team where they like play her and know what to do with her skills.
01:03:00.960 --> 01:03:02.320
And that's not us.
01:03:02.639 --> 01:03:02.880
Yeah.
01:03:03.280 --> 01:03:05.519
Maybe Sandy will take her in Toronto.
01:03:06.159 --> 01:03:06.800
Oh my god.
01:03:07.119 --> 01:03:07.679
That'd be fun.
01:03:08.480 --> 01:03:09.920
Her and Marina Maybrie together.
01:03:10.159 --> 01:03:10.880
Wait, I don't know.
01:03:12.480 --> 01:03:13.840
I don't think we talked about Shoegate.
01:03:14.239 --> 01:03:16.559
Yeah, so for some reason, some way, somehow.
01:03:17.519 --> 01:03:20.639
Some way, somehow, JJ ended up without a shoe during the game.
01:03:20.880 --> 01:03:22.559
I still don't understand what happened.
01:03:22.800 --> 01:03:30.079
And I think Benaja was on the bench, and so JJ ran down the court because there was a change of possession with only one shoe on.
01:03:30.239 --> 01:03:33.039
And so then B was like, let me get her her shoe.
01:03:33.360 --> 01:03:36.719
For some reason she got up off the bench, picked up the shoe.
01:03:37.039 --> 01:03:41.440
And then threw the shoe down court, and I think Marina made three in the fucking bag.
01:03:41.679 --> 01:03:45.840
And the jersey and Marina said, Who the fuck threw that shoe?
01:03:45.920 --> 01:03:48.719
And this was already after they had been butting heads on you.
01:03:48.960 --> 01:03:49.199
Yeah.
01:03:49.440 --> 01:03:50.239
But that makes sense.
01:03:50.320 --> 01:03:52.239
It's a Philly girl and a New Jersey girl.
01:03:54.079 --> 01:03:56.960
And then Vanija got escorted out.
01:03:57.360 --> 01:03:58.320
She got thrown out the game.
01:03:58.639 --> 01:03:59.519
Because that was her second tip.
01:03:59.920 --> 01:04:10.880
And you see her saying, you know, I didn't mean to hit her with it, but like I wasn't trying to hit her with it, but also JJ was nowhere to be found.
01:04:11.039 --> 01:04:11.920
Nowhere near.
01:04:13.679 --> 01:04:17.679
No, like it's really crazy because why did B say, you know what?
01:04:17.760 --> 01:04:18.400
Let me help her.
01:04:18.480 --> 01:04:20.400
Let me throw this fucking shoe down the court.
01:04:20.559 --> 01:04:29.360
And I believe in that moment she really thought she was doing what was best, but she was just like, I wasn't trying to hit her in the back with it, but I don't regret that it hit her though.
01:04:30.639 --> 01:04:32.400
Oh that's amazing.
01:04:32.559 --> 01:04:36.400
But then Marina had jokes about it too, because Sabrina was promoting her sneaker.
01:04:36.719 --> 01:04:37.360
Yeah, that was funny.
01:04:38.079 --> 01:04:40.400
And then Marina commented, Can you throw me a pair?
01:04:42.079 --> 01:04:43.039
The girls, the girls.
01:04:43.440 --> 01:04:45.760
The girls are alright.
01:04:46.719 --> 01:04:49.920
Because if that was that's how you handle that, because if that was Caitlin Clark, oh yeah, for sure.
01:04:54.960 --> 01:04:55.440
Seriously.
01:04:55.599 --> 01:04:58.639
And then there would have been another amendment in the Constitution written about it.
01:04:59.360 --> 01:05:00.880
No, it's absolutely disgusting.
01:05:01.039 --> 01:05:01.599
But you know what?
01:05:01.760 --> 01:05:04.000
Our Queen Marina Maverick would never be like that.
01:05:04.159 --> 01:05:05.360
She wouldn't do it.
01:05:06.480 --> 01:05:09.840
So yeah, I guess the TLDR on the liberty is that they're ass.
01:05:10.159 --> 01:05:10.559
We suck.
01:05:10.800 --> 01:05:13.920
And they're really painful to watch, and I do think that it starts with the coaching.
01:05:14.000 --> 01:05:14.719
So For real?
01:05:14.880 --> 01:05:15.840
You have any sue?
01:05:16.159 --> 01:05:18.480
That's um That's that on that.
01:05:18.719 --> 01:05:19.519
That's that on that.
01:05:20.079 --> 01:05:20.400
Okay.
01:05:21.280 --> 01:05:23.039
And finally Finally.
01:05:23.360 --> 01:05:23.920
Overtime.
01:05:24.159 --> 01:05:25.039
Overtime.
01:05:27.039 --> 01:05:31.599
Um today I just wanted to talk about Cheryl Reeve really quick.
01:05:31.760 --> 01:05:36.800
I've always been curious about her background just because, like, you know, she's been a coach for a while.
01:05:36.960 --> 01:05:41.760
She's coached the Lynx for a while, she's coached the USA basketball team before.
01:05:41.920 --> 01:05:45.360
Um, and she just got inducted to the Hall of Fame.
01:05:45.760 --> 01:05:57.440
This past weekend, she went down to Knoxville, got inducted to the Ba Women's Basketball Hall of Fame, um, along with Candace Parker, Elena Deladon, and ESPN's Doris Burke.
01:05:57.840 --> 01:05:58.559
Doris Burke?
01:05:58.800 --> 01:05:58.880
Yeah.
01:05:59.199 --> 01:05:59.760
Doris Burke was.
01:06:00.239 --> 01:06:00.719
Inducted.
01:06:00.960 --> 01:06:01.280
Yeah.
01:06:01.519 --> 01:06:03.440
Shout out to her, bro.
01:06:04.079 --> 01:06:05.599
I love Doris Burke.
01:06:05.760 --> 01:06:06.400
I don't even know.
01:06:06.480 --> 01:06:09.039
I didn't even know Doris Burke, but I'm glad you're having this reaction.
01:06:09.280 --> 01:06:14.400
Oh, she's like one of the only female commentators for NBA.
01:06:14.719 --> 01:06:16.320
She's fucking incredible.
01:06:16.559 --> 01:06:16.719
Yeah.
01:06:16.800 --> 01:06:16.960
Okay.
01:06:17.280 --> 01:06:18.000
She know her stuff.
01:06:18.079 --> 01:06:20.400
Sometimes she'd be on some hater shit and she get on my nerves.
01:06:20.559 --> 01:06:20.960
You know what?
01:06:21.039 --> 01:06:22.800
Maybe next overtime I'll do Doris Burke.
01:06:22.880 --> 01:06:24.159
I think you should do Doris Burke.
01:06:24.320 --> 01:06:24.960
I fucking love her.
01:06:25.039 --> 01:06:26.800
Oh my god, we have to do Holly Rowe.
01:06:26.960 --> 01:06:27.199
Sorry.
01:06:27.360 --> 01:06:27.599
Sorry.
01:06:27.760 --> 01:06:29.199
Back to Cheryl Ream.
01:06:29.760 --> 01:06:30.480
Holly World.
01:06:30.800 --> 01:06:35.360
Okay, we've got the next lineup for um overtime already set up.
01:06:35.519 --> 01:06:39.840
Um so yeah, she was down there with Doris, getting inducted.
01:06:40.000 --> 01:06:46.159
And then the next day she had to turn around, fly right back, play um Dallas in a game.
01:06:46.400 --> 01:06:48.559
And that's, you know, the tension that she's working with.
01:06:48.719 --> 01:06:51.599
Hall of Fame ceremony one night, prepping for the Wings game the next morning.
01:06:52.239 --> 01:06:55.440
Hey, I actually need today off because I have to go be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
01:06:55.679 --> 01:06:57.519
Sorry, assistant coaches, can you handle this?
01:06:57.679 --> 01:06:58.239
It's crazy.
01:06:58.480 --> 01:06:59.599
All BRB.
01:06:59.840 --> 01:07:08.159
Um so her career in brief uh started back in 2001 when she landed an assistant coaching job with the Charlotte Sting.
01:07:08.320 --> 01:07:09.360
Remember when that was a team?
01:07:09.840 --> 01:07:10.559
They should bring them back.
01:07:10.719 --> 01:07:11.679
I'm thinking they should.
01:07:11.920 --> 01:07:19.679
I think I should call Michael Jordan and say, hey, can you like I think he actually sold a majority stake in the Hornets because they're fucking ass.
01:07:20.000 --> 01:07:22.559
Okay, well then he should start up the Sting.
01:07:22.719 --> 01:07:23.360
Yeah.
01:07:23.840 --> 01:07:28.320
Um and guess how much he was making for that assistant coaching job?
01:07:28.559 --> 01:07:29.840
Five thousand dollars a year.
01:07:30.000 --> 01:07:32.159
Bro the way I was about to say five dollars.
01:07:32.400 --> 01:07:34.000
I mean, it's not far off.
01:07:34.239 --> 01:07:35.920
Five thousand dollars a year is crazy.
01:07:36.159 --> 01:07:38.960
Yeah, in two thousand one, which doesn't feel that long ago.
01:07:39.360 --> 01:07:40.880
Five thousand dollars a year.
01:07:40.960 --> 01:07:44.159
Well, I mean, I'm like inflation, a recession.
01:07:44.400 --> 01:07:46.400
Wasn't there a recession in 2001?
01:07:46.960 --> 01:07:47.360
I don't know.
01:07:47.440 --> 01:07:48.480
There was one in 2008.
01:07:48.719 --> 01:07:49.360
Oh, just kidding.
01:07:49.440 --> 01:07:50.239
Maybe it was 2008.
01:07:50.480 --> 01:07:51.840
But that was only seven years before.
01:07:51.920 --> 01:07:52.320
I don't know.
01:07:52.400 --> 01:07:55.519
It doesn't seem maybe$5,000 was like$50,000.
01:07:56.079 --> 01:07:56.400
Yeah.
01:07:56.639 --> 01:07:57.920
That was like a long time ago.
01:07:58.239 --> 01:07:59.679
It's I guess it was 25 years.
01:07:59.920 --> 01:08:00.639
Anyway, right.
01:08:01.039 --> 01:08:03.039
So that was her first coaching job.
01:08:03.199 --> 01:08:08.000
Um, and then she spent some time as an assistant coach with the Detroit Shock as well.
01:08:08.239 --> 01:08:14.480
And those two jobs were before she got the head coaching job with Minnesota Lynx in 2010.
01:08:14.559 --> 01:08:18.239
So she's been there ever since, this last 16 years.
01:08:18.479 --> 01:08:26.479
Um, she's now logged more regular seasons in Minnesota than the rest of the WNBA's head coaches have with their current teams combined.
01:08:28.479 --> 01:08:29.359
That's crazy.
01:08:29.439 --> 01:08:33.439
But I'll tell you what, bro, the Minnesota Lynx organization, they know what the fuck they do.
01:08:33.760 --> 01:08:34.000
I know.
01:08:34.079 --> 01:08:35.760
They're like a tight-knit group.
01:08:35.920 --> 01:08:38.000
They've got it, they've got it figured out.
01:08:38.239 --> 01:08:39.359
They really do, huh?
01:08:39.520 --> 01:08:39.600
Yeah.
01:08:39.920 --> 01:08:40.399
Jealous.
01:08:40.880 --> 01:08:43.039
Um, so the resume itself is absurd.
01:08:43.199 --> 01:08:46.399
She's won four WNBA championships with the Lynx.
01:08:46.640 --> 01:09:02.479
Um, she's had 378 career wins, putting her one win behind Mike Tibolt for the most in WNBA history, and she actually passed him for the all-time combined regular season plus playoff wins record last fall.
01:09:02.640 --> 01:09:12.479
So, and then on the international stage, she's won an Olympic gold medal as head coach for Team USA in 2024 and the FIBA World Cup gold in 2022.
01:09:13.039 --> 01:09:22.159
And the other interesting thing, yeah, the other interesting thing about her is that she played in college, but not the pros, because the league didn't exist yet.
01:09:22.319 --> 01:09:25.920
But she was a four-year-old That's actually crazy.
01:09:26.159 --> 01:09:26.319
Right?
01:09:26.560 --> 01:09:29.520
When you said that earlier, I didn't even think about the existence of the league.
01:09:29.760 --> 01:09:30.079
Yeah.
01:09:30.319 --> 01:09:36.640
She played, she was a four-year starter in the backcourt for LaSalle from 1984 to 88.
01:09:37.279 --> 01:09:40.399
Um, they won 89 games during her career.
01:09:40.560 --> 01:09:48.079
She still holds LaSalle's school record for most games started, which is 110, and ranks fourth in career assists assists.
01:09:48.239 --> 01:09:55.119
And then as a senior, she captained the team to a 25-5 record in the national ranking, earning first team All Mac honors.
01:09:55.279 --> 01:10:00.159
But the WNBA, like I said, didn't exist when she was playing because the league launched in 1997.
01:10:00.239 --> 01:10:00.399
What?
01:10:00.640 --> 01:10:08.960
I just had to triple check that you said LaSalle, and I was just like, that's not LaSalle in Philly, is it?
01:10:09.199 --> 01:10:09.600
Is it?
01:10:09.760 --> 01:10:11.760
It is, it's LaSalle in Philly.
01:10:11.840 --> 01:10:12.800
Shout out to Cheryl!
01:10:13.119 --> 01:10:16.800
Cheryl went to school in Philly, uh, no, she's from New Jersey.
01:10:17.119 --> 01:10:18.159
Oh, she's from Jersey.
01:10:18.399 --> 01:10:19.760
Well, it says That makes sense.
01:10:20.000 --> 01:10:29.680
Well, she was born, she was born in Omaha, but she went to high school in Washington Township, New Jersey, which is oh my god.
01:10:30.560 --> 01:10:33.039
Cheryl Reeves, are you an Eagles fan?
01:10:33.520 --> 01:10:34.319
Go bird.
01:10:34.640 --> 01:10:36.159
Please comment on the pot of you are.
01:10:36.479 --> 01:10:39.119
She's from South Jersey, just like Marina.
01:10:39.359 --> 01:10:42.399
I mean, I now that you say that, I feel like it fits her personality.
01:10:42.479 --> 01:10:43.680
I can see the Jersey girl in her.
01:10:44.079 --> 01:10:44.560
Fuck.
01:10:44.800 --> 01:10:47.439
I can't believe I didn't just know immediately.
01:10:47.600 --> 01:10:49.520
I mean, because I haven't looked her in the eyes.
01:10:49.680 --> 01:10:52.239
If I like was face-to-face her, like I am with you right now, I'm not sure.
01:10:52.479 --> 01:10:52.880
You would know?
01:10:53.039 --> 01:10:53.199
Yeah.
01:10:53.359 --> 01:10:56.560
She would give me a look and I'd be like, go birds.
01:10:57.199 --> 01:10:57.439
Yeah.
01:10:57.520 --> 01:11:01.119
I wow, that's that's crazy.
01:11:02.159 --> 01:11:02.800
Yeah.
01:11:03.199 --> 01:11:04.479
She played at LaSalle.
01:11:04.960 --> 01:11:05.920
She played at LaSalle.
01:11:06.800 --> 01:11:08.000
And she played well at LaSalle.
01:11:08.319 --> 01:11:09.039
It's not staged.
01:11:09.199 --> 01:11:09.680
I swear to God.
01:11:10.159 --> 01:11:11.439
This is a real-time reaction.
01:11:11.760 --> 01:11:12.640
Oh my god.
01:11:12.800 --> 01:11:17.199
Um, yeah, so when she graduated in 1988, the W didn't exist.
01:11:17.520 --> 01:11:22.319
Remember that the league launched in 1997, nearly a decade after she graduated.
01:11:22.560 --> 01:11:25.600
So there was no like opportunity for her to play professional.
01:11:25.840 --> 01:11:28.159
So her path went straight into coaching instead.
01:11:28.239 --> 01:11:31.840
She got her start as an assistant at her alma mater, LaSalle.
01:11:32.159 --> 01:11:32.640
Oh my god.
01:11:32.880 --> 01:11:42.960
Then spent five years as an assistant at George Washington, then five years at Indiana State, and then she finally made the jump to the W uh coaching ranks.
01:11:43.199 --> 01:11:52.560
So basically, she had a solid college playing career, zero pro playing career, and then 25 plus years building one of the great coaching resumes in the sport instead.
01:11:52.800 --> 01:11:54.239
I'm genuinely shook.
01:11:54.399 --> 01:11:57.279
I cannot but I because I usually know all of my girlies.
01:11:57.520 --> 01:11:57.920
Yeah.
01:11:58.159 --> 01:11:58.960
I did not know that.
01:11:59.199 --> 01:11:59.680
Just add her.
01:11:59.840 --> 01:12:00.560
Add her to the club.
01:12:00.960 --> 01:12:02.159
That's crazy.
01:12:03.359 --> 01:12:03.840
Wow.
01:12:04.079 --> 01:12:06.239
Cheryl is not familiar with your game.
01:12:06.479 --> 01:12:07.279
Seriously?
01:12:07.840 --> 01:12:22.479
Um so yeah, this induction is a big deal because she's the only she's only the second W coach to ever be inducted, joining it's either Vaughn or Van Chancellor, who went into the Hall of Fame back in 2001.
01:12:23.199 --> 01:12:24.800
So yeah.
01:12:25.119 --> 01:12:28.399
The league has had dozens of head coaches, but there's only two that's been inducted.
01:12:33.039 --> 01:12:34.720
She must have been really good, or he.
01:12:34.800 --> 01:12:35.279
I don't even know.
01:12:35.520 --> 01:12:37.439
Yeah, I don't even that's why I'm that's fine.
01:12:37.840 --> 01:12:38.319
Yeah.
01:12:38.800 --> 01:12:39.359
Huh.
01:12:39.600 --> 01:12:43.119
Um, so obviously she's humble about it because you know she's Cheryl.
01:12:43.199 --> 01:12:46.319
She's probably wearing that t-shirt that has a message on it.
01:12:46.479 --> 01:12:56.800
Um she's talking about being overwhelmed walking through the hall and seeing the history and the artifacts, especially given how much inspiration she drew from the women already enshrined there.
01:12:57.119 --> 01:13:00.800
Um she made a great closing line from her speech.
01:13:00.880 --> 01:13:06.479
She joked that sharing the hall with so many women's basketball greats makes me glad I never got a real job.
01:13:06.800 --> 01:13:09.439
But Cheryl, you did get a real job, girl.
01:13:09.760 --> 01:13:10.000
Yeah.
01:13:10.239 --> 01:13:11.039
No, that's tough.
01:13:11.199 --> 01:13:14.399
Also, just uh a tangent.
01:13:14.640 --> 01:13:19.199
Van Chancellor used to coach the Lady Tigers at LSU.
01:13:19.600 --> 01:13:19.840
Oh.
01:13:20.159 --> 01:13:20.399
Yeah.
01:13:20.479 --> 01:13:20.560
Oh.
01:13:20.880 --> 01:13:26.399
So he probably got inducted into the Hall of Fame, like, not just because of coaching in the W.
01:13:26.560 --> 01:13:31.119
I just we were talking about '97, 2001, that felt kind of rigged, but it never mind, never mind.
01:13:31.199 --> 01:13:33.600
It wasn't just based on his his W career.
01:13:33.920 --> 01:13:34.960
I guess he's a good guy.
01:13:35.199 --> 01:13:35.920
Back to Cheryl.
01:13:36.239 --> 01:13:37.119
Back to Cheryl.
01:13:37.600 --> 01:13:40.560
Um, yeah, well, we're about to wrap up, Cheryl.
01:13:40.640 --> 01:13:48.720
But the big picture takeaway is that this is really a recognition of longevity and sustained excellence rather than one big moment.
01:13:48.960 --> 01:13:59.600
26 years of coaching, a win record that may not be touched by any be touched by anyone anytime soon, and a track record of developing legendary talent.
01:13:59.760 --> 01:14:12.640
It's also a symbolic moment for how the W uh coaching ranks get recognized historically since since coaches have clearly been underrepresentative rel relative to players in the hall voting up until this point.
01:14:13.600 --> 01:14:17.279
So thank you for coming on that journey with me.
01:14:17.600 --> 01:14:19.600
Um, Cheryl, you're a real one.
01:14:19.920 --> 01:14:20.800
She was a real one.
01:14:20.960 --> 01:14:21.840
I really love overtime.
01:14:21.920 --> 01:14:22.960
I feel like I'm also learning.
01:14:23.920 --> 01:14:24.720
Bonnie's teaching me.
01:14:25.119 --> 01:14:26.880
I try to make it something that we don't know yet.
01:14:26.960 --> 01:14:27.520
You know what I mean?
01:14:27.920 --> 01:14:28.640
No, I love it.
01:14:28.880 --> 01:14:29.199
Yeah.
01:14:29.600 --> 01:14:29.920
Cool.
01:14:30.399 --> 01:14:31.760
Thanks for the real-time feedback.
01:14:32.079 --> 01:14:33.600
Oh my gosh, of course.
01:14:33.920 --> 01:14:35.359
Thank you guys so much for listening.
01:14:35.600 --> 01:14:35.920
Thank you.
01:14:36.479 --> 01:14:36.960
So sorry.
01:14:37.199 --> 01:14:37.359
Yeah.
01:14:37.600 --> 01:14:38.239
Long break.
01:14:38.479 --> 01:14:40.880
We didn't mean it, and it'll never happen again.
01:14:41.119 --> 01:14:43.279
We're just girls with some jobs.
01:14:43.680 --> 01:14:44.000
Yep.
01:14:44.079 --> 01:14:45.680
So and some life stuff.
01:14:46.000 --> 01:14:46.640
Yeah.
01:14:46.960 --> 01:14:51.199
And that's been another episode of Chasing the W.
