Speaker 1 (00:00):
I did taekwondo and karate when I was little, but
I can't.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Oh, I don't remember this move, Tiger, And then you
do this? No, what where did they go?
Speaker 3 (00:16):
It was in north It was like in northern Columbia.
You know where Sam's is, like off the highway. Dude,
it was like this little studio there, Tiger, what eagle
like stuff like that?
Speaker 4 (00:31):
How old were you young?
Speaker 3 (00:34):
I don't think I got past being like a tangerine
belt or something like that. Episode thirteen. This is a
we're double dipping, double dipping baby halfway through October. So
(00:57):
we're just gonna do a mailbag. These questions arenarly and
it's just fun for us. Let's go, Hi, this.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
Is Melanie from Nashville, Tennessee. Then I have a question, Sophie,
what does the typical off season look like? And then lastly,
you know, Andy Cohen is a Bravo connection with you guys,
and he's from Saint Louis. I thought that was neat anyway, Sophie,
I hope you have a speedy recovery. Thanks guys, enjoy
(01:26):
your podcast. Bye bye.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
What a sweet lady.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
I didn't know that Andy was from Saint Louis.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Yeah, I'm going to a Blues game with him in November.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Oh nice.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
He's the first time I met Andy. He came into
my green room and gave me a big hug and
said hello, Missourni and gave me a blue squeeze. Typical
his whole If you ever watch watch it Happens Live, Sophie,
it's like the after Show, like his studio. Yeah, everything
is like the arch or like Cardinals everything. So he's
like very oh shoot, like loyal to Saint Louis.
Speaker 6 (01:58):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
So I spend my off season, I guess right now rehabing.
So injury is going good. I'm getting stronger, Sully, but
surely I'm a weak piece of shit right now.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Let me tell you. Get my ass kicked. But it's fine.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
But typically in an off season for me, I would
do like maybe some broadcasting for a team.
Speaker 7 (02:21):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
But this year, I'm just going to train. So I'm
just gonna be lifting.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
That includes just like becoming stronger cardio and then just
like training on the basketball court. So this is a
good year for me to dial in and focus and
hopefully I can work on my tan a little bit too.
Speaker 7 (02:35):
You know.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
In my free time. So that's what my off season looks.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Like. You do a good job of not like only
being a basketball player, like you know, there's so many
other things.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yeah, well thanks guys, well thank you, because I think
I think I need that balance though, Like there's some
people who can just like be in the gym twenty
four hours a day through sixty five days a week,
and like that is just like not me at all.
Like I want to work out for like three or
four hours and then I want to get the heck
away from it. Like I need the balance of both.
Speaker 6 (03:03):
Do I need it?
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Yeah? What I mean in professionally, like when you when
you were doing your like broadcasting stuff for the Suns
and stuff that's cool, like a lot of people are
fine hooping and that, like you've you've opened so many
doors for yourself. I think that's the smartest thing, you know,
So good ship.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
But it also allows me to like do cool things
like this or like go do events or go even
go back home and stuff actually doing stuff with the Suns.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Last year, I was actually here a lot more.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Because I was like I didn't actually get to do
as much as I wanted to do in the off season,
so this this time. I'm just rehabbing and training, and
I think it's gonna be kind of fun, to be honest.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
We'll see.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Hell yeah, there's a sweet question.
Speaker 8 (03:45):
It's kind was all right, guys, nixt one coming up
for you here, Yes, is that stow Work had a
quick relationship question.
Speaker 7 (03:57):
How would do a hando emotional shooting? I'm going through
it right now.
Speaker 9 (04:02):
I'm just curious how you guys, If.
Speaker 7 (04:04):
You guys have ever dealt with that anyway, the pods
keep it out. They both are amazing. Have a good night.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
You go first.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I am not a fan of any type of cheating.
So I just think that like if you are, if
you're in a relationship with something, you should be open
enough to have communication even if like things change.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
It's like you, it's a respect type of thing.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
It's communication, and so you're always evolving, You're always growing,
so is your the person you're dating.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
So like things are going to change. But I think
the biggest thing is you need to communicate.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
And I feel like a lot of people stop communicating
and stop dating each other, and so once you kind
of stop doing that, people need that type of stuff.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
So maybe there is emotional cheating but I am not
a fan of that.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I think if I were to catch that, I would
say something to my person and if it like continued,
then I'd be done.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Okay, I think you and I agree. I was going
to unlike physical cheating, where I think you're allowed to
like walk away an explanation. I do think emotional cheating
is a little grayer and like it it deserves a
conversation because technically it's so gray and a lot like
for me, I'm a very flirty person. I'm also a
very like touchy person, and there's a lot of things
(05:19):
that like I subconsciously do that are just like kind
of part of my personality. But also remember single long
time that are just like built into how I interact
with people that I'm sure if I was dating someone
they like wouldn't appreciate. Therefore, uh, conversations are super important.
But I don't think I think emotional cheating, I wouldn't.
(05:42):
I don't like the word cheating is it sounds like
so like it sounds like such a backstab when I
don't think people always necessarily do that on purpose. But yeah,
if someone is like, you know, like doing it to you,
after the conversations and after you've asked for things to
stop then like, yeah, that's definite to walk away from that.
(06:02):
But yeah, good question. I agree, good question.
Speaker 10 (06:05):
All right, guys, thanks for the advice there.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Moving on to number three.
Speaker 11 (06:11):
Sugar, I forgot I was gonna say, oh yeah, okay,
So this is Dana from California and always have a
question for you. So if you're in a situation so
like you just got like knocked off your horse, so stuke,
like you just kind of like got a really huge setback,
there anything that you can like that you depend on
or some kind of catchphrase. All right, thank you for
(06:32):
your podcast. You're both very delightful. Bye.
Speaker 10 (06:36):
All right, any positive, self sufficient and self supporting mantras
you guys got.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
That's a really good question, A specific saying. I don't have,
but I've I've always told myself like this sounds maybe
like kind of shallow, but like am I am I
gonna die?
Speaker 10 (06:54):
No?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
And do I have family and friends around me who
always love me? And that that answers yes? And nice.
I think as long as you know you have that
base level, I do think you can get through everything.
And kind of back to our last episode, we had
a question about like moving away from home. I think
if you've been through subjected yourself to a lot of
(07:16):
hardships and you've made it through those. For me personally,
I use the times that I have been in shitty situations,
whether that was like laid off, ran out of money,
I like hate, you know, like shitty on a depth chart,
like all those things. Everything has worked itself out. And
now that I've done it so many times, I know
(07:36):
to just be patient and trust myself to get through it.
So Dana, you will get through this and you're gonna
be okay, and then that will make this next time
some shit happens to you that much easier and you'll
be that much more confident in yourself. So keep grinding,
Mamasi da dude.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
That's that was actually really great us because my biggest
thing is I think people forget in life, especially with
social media nowadays, everyone thinks that everyone's life is so
easy and bring bone butterflies, and it's just you know,
it's so perfect on the other side, but it's really not.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Like everyone goes through struggles.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Everyone goes through trials, and like, my biggest thing is
that's where you learn a lot about yourself. That's like
where you grow, right, And so I think that if
you don't have those things, even like with an injury,
Like I don't really know what she's going through, but
like if it's physical health, if it's mental health, if
it's all that type of stuff, Like sometimes that's when
maybe you're more grateful.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Your perspective shifts.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
And changes, and on the other side of it, you're
a lot more happy and you're a lot more grateful
that you went through because you learn so much more
about yourself, we're around, about the people around you.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Like, there's so many benefits and beauty. When there's trials.
I think it's hard, don't get me wrong, but you're
always going to come out on the other side of it.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Yeah yeah, so Dana, right now it sucks, but you're
going to be so you're going to be a fucking
beast afterwards. And you just got to know that, and
you got to know that. It's like I love to
say that you you callous as a human. Every time
some shit's like really tough, it breaks you down, and
then you're like a callous You grow tougher and stronger
and you'll just callous showy through life. That's a very
(09:04):
good question.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
It is stay positive though, Yeah.
Speaker 10 (09:09):
Very inspirational, very motivational.
Speaker 12 (09:11):
Guys.
Speaker 10 (09:11):
I like the metaphor of being a callous It makes
you look at callouses in a different way now, and
the causes are.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
Beautiful, dude, I day for you. Not the ones on
my feet.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
No, we don't want those, That's all I think.
Speaker 10 (09:23):
The balus of life. All right, Next one for you guys,
here number number four.
Speaker 6 (09:27):
Here we go, say Sophie West. It's a question for Sophie.
Are you thinking that you get out of the league.
I mean, you see yourself doing it, but you're type
just going to be coaching. Just kind of wondering.
Speaker 12 (09:39):
Thanks.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
Name is Gerald, by.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
The way, Gerald, Yeah, well hello Gerald.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
You know, I don't really know what I want to
do when I'm done playing.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
I feel like I want to play as long as
I can, maybe another eight to ten years.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Who knows.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I I would love to coach, but I'll to think
like I want to get married and I want to
have a family, and the life of coaching is not
so ideal for all that. So there's that I'd love
to do broadcast. I would love to be in the
entertainment space. So who knows like I. I would also
love to be on a yacht not doing anything, So
(10:20):
we have a lot of options. I don't know yet,
so just kind of being where my two feet are
at it right now.
Speaker 10 (10:24):
All right, So thanks for sharing. Next question here, number
five the dating questions that we need both of you
guys for this one.
Speaker 12 (10:33):
Two questions one what is your baseline for dating age
wise youngest and oldest for both of you? And a
second question do either of you write poetry? And if
you do, what's that about or what's that like for you?
Thanks Byie.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
I don't write poetry per se, but I love rhyming
a lot of my child and would like write like
is actually a rap lyrics? Yeah, so not poetry per se,
but if you give me two beers, I'll freestylt for you.
If that's God, that's what we're looking for. The age
thing who old West raps exist?
Speaker 10 (11:16):
Are they out there?
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Was?
Speaker 11 (11:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (11:17):
I have him. I have a song called Oh it
was a geometry song that we made in ninth grade.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Could be pretty good.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
It was and we got like a and we got
like a B plus, which is which was so whack. Okay,
age wise, I think it's so weird when the age
gap is huge that I would always like, I will
always keep it like pretty tight, and I would advise
other people to just like, like also keep it tight.
(11:46):
My brother is five years younger than me, and I've
always thought that he was like I like looked out
for him, and he's he'll always be a pup. So
I think I've just kind of as I moved through life,
I've always thought, no one younger than my brother I
ever date, which is five years so for me right now,
it would be twenty six and I'm thirty five.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
It's not that bad. I feel like the older you get,
it's not that bad.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
I agree, But like now I just think people it
just is like, so people are so weird. I wouldn't
even tempt it, even if you think it's normal. Okay,
so say you're older, there's no ceiling give me.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Oh no, ew ew no, she's experienced.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
So you're saying that if you were in New York
and there's this really pretty girl, cool vibe, great job
well for herself, and you turn out she's she turns
out to be like twenty six, you would say no,
but she's like your tie everything twenty six.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Four years younger. I don't think it's crazy, but like, yeah,
I don't think I I would especially date.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
I don't think i'd go, oh yeah, because I feel
like the maturity level is still just different.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
I just know when I meet a couple and the
dude is like thirty and and the girl my friend,
is twenty five, I'm like, you're a fucking weirdo. Like
I always think those dudes are whack. Do you know
what I'm saying? Like that couple where the guys like
like drives a truck and she's like, way younger. You're
just like, I don't you guys. Guys are weirding me out.
(13:17):
He guys weird me out, but not.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
You and your eighty five year old wife.
Speaker 13 (13:21):
All right, that's fine. You have the handicapped sticker. Hey, yeah,
that's why you do it.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Facts.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
I do not write poetry or anything like that, but
I do journal. I do like to journal because I
feel like so many fun things happen and I forget
like little moments that are either like good, bad, funny, dumb,
and so like. I like to write all that stuff down,
especially during season or if like something cool happened, or
I get to go do something fun. I don't know,
it's kind of fun to look back on. But I'm
(13:53):
right there with you. I think only older. I've only
dated older.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
That's more typical though for girl like I feel like
the age gap is usually older guy younger girl. I'd
love to date like a divorcee for a second. Anyways,
next question question number six. Here, here we go.
Speaker 14 (14:08):
Alright, this message is actually for Sophie, but West I
would love your opinion as well. My name is Josh,
and my question is about collecting. Do you have any
personal collections of any you know, players, cards, or jerseys.
Please let me know and thanks and keep putting out
(14:29):
great shows. We really appreciate it. All right, thanks again, all.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Right, Josh, Well, Wes left, so oh curious.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
I'm not a big collector of things, so I don't
like having a lot of stuff, and so I haven't
been a big collector of things. I think my biggest
collection would be my swimsuits.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
That's good.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
I love collecting jerseys and I was in like junior
high that was such a cool thing. However, Josh d
m me and may I interest you in a big
Westy card. This is a big west e collector's edition
from the McDonald's All American Game in Houston, Texas. It
says Big westy high six footwaight to ten to ten
(15:19):
High School, Robert High School College in Montana State, and
then my bio says no left hand, but scrappy wants
to have fun. It's Tops. It's literally a TOPS card.
So if anyone needs a Big West card, Josh, I'll
send you one.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
That's actually who made those.
Speaker 12 (15:42):
Tops.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Oh oh so some Tops just made one for you.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Well. I was there covering the McDonald's All American Game
and they're like, you, like, we make the TOPS cards
for the players, and I was.
Speaker 12 (15:53):
Just there and I WASHO.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
I was like, guys, say less, wait, so did you
put your own description on back?
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Yeah? They're like, what do you want to say? And
I was like, I think this works.
Speaker 4 (16:05):

(17:36):
can I add one more thing for Josh? I love
collecting shirts and hats or like sweatshirts from like dive
bars or like diners or cafes in places I've visited.
I think those are so classic and like just a
great representation of whatever, like little fucking town you were visiting,
or like once from home or once from we're event
(17:57):
to school. I think anything that's like the diner Coleman
is like that shit's so sick and it's timeless and
and it'll always be like a conversation starter. So that's
like that's my mind.
Speaker 11 (18:10):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Also it's like Shakespeare's pizza cups. So yeah, I have
like four I have like fourteen of those.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Mate, I have like five of them in here too.
I always have that.
Speaker 10 (18:21):
So if I feel like a lot of NBA players
do like the jersey swap, do w girlies do that?
Speaker 11 (18:26):
Like you ever?
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Dude, we don't get to do jersey swaps because we
legit get like two or three jerseys and we wear
that same one every game, so like they kind of
get like multiple Like if they want to do that,
they would have another one that they could have. We
don't get that option because we literally get like three jerseys.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
But yeah, if you mess it up, you are screwed.
Speaker 12 (18:46):
So now.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
All right, good to know, good to know. Okay, here
it goes question number seven.
Speaker 9 (18:54):
A little better. So my question is do you still
train also large and it's so often a week or
a month, does your schedule allow you to train? Thank
you so much?
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Well, did you train martial arts?
Speaker 8 (19:10):
No?
Speaker 4 (19:11):
I was.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
I did taekwondo and karate when I was little, But
I oh, I don't.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Remember this move tiger and then you do this? No,
what where did they go?
Speaker 3 (19:28):
It was in north It was like in northern Columbia,
you know where Sam's is, like off the highway, dude,
it was like this little studio there, Tiger, what eagle
like stuff like that? How old.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
Were you.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Young? I don't think I got past being like a
tangerine belt or something like that.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
But no, we were.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
We did taekwondo with mister Hawkman at a and I
you do I know.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
That name mister Hawkman.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
You he's awesome, like he they produced like badasses, like
they go do like tournaments and stuff around the world,
like with taekwondo and stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
But I stopped at age six. I got my black
belt and I was done. So it was fine.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
I wrestled. My dad was big and my dad had
me wrestle for a long time. Uh did you? Was
like okay?
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Junior high.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
I quit wrestling probably uh fifth or sixth grade. But
it's good to learn to like like you and I
have played team sports our whole lives. Playing a sphere
where you're by yourself on a matt kind of you
got to like learn to grow some fucking balls and
like go get ass. So wrestling is a good sport
if you want to get your kids like aggressive.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Wait, have you ever tried kromagaw?
Speaker 10 (20:51):
No?
Speaker 1 (20:51):
What dude, you need to go do that. So it's
like a self defense class, but it is. It is hard,
but super cool. So I did that in college, Like,
are team did that finger?
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Yeah, so and someone says.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Brainstem ie gouch I gouch.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
The answer is no, we haven't done that is so long.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Yeah. Sorry, no martial arts here, that's good. There's sprayes.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Yeah, it's all your your sound effects with everything.
Speaker 13 (21:32):
Yeah. Oh god, it's not getting carried away literally.
Speaker 10 (21:42):
Yes, sorry, I checked these questions. This actually ended up
being a great uh informative.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Let there, We've learned some pretty good moves here. Thanks guys.
All right, there is question number eight.
Speaker 11 (21:54):
All right, here's my wild question.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
If you had to remove one invention from all of history,
which would it be and why?
Speaker 14 (22:06):
Thanks guys, love the content.
Speaker 7 (22:08):
Have a good one.
Speaker 12 (22:11):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Wow, that is a great question. I don't even know.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
For the sake of like entertainment. If cell phones were
not invented, our entire personalities, interactions, relationships, existence, society would
be so different, and like, yeah it was. I think
that we had a golden age of cell phones being
beneficial and I would imagine at this point they're not
(22:40):
good for us, and I think everything pendulum, so like
we'll go back in ten years, so like people will
like detach from their phones a little once we're at once,
all of our brains melt. But like, for the sake
of this question, I think like if that invention never happened,
seeing what society would look like today would be incredibly interesting,
don't you think?
Speaker 4 (23:01):
A thousand percent?
Speaker 1 (23:02):
And I just think that like you would have to
be more friendly and more outgoing, and like people would
get along more, people would have good conversations, people would
be more inviting and more welcoming.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
So I'm so there with you.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Yeah, yeah, but I mean people like society thrived without phones,
like it would be fine.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
And I do like how I think it's writing letters
and like cards with letters, handwritten stuff is like so
like those they're charitable to me because like, no, you
don't get that anymore.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Everyone just text and calls.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
And so I think I do like the phone for
like if you need something, call, but everything else, I
think it's kind of ruined just saying.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
I do.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
And this one's like kind of superficial. But I kind
of wish like.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
Botox injections implants all.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
That that wasn't a thing, because I just think, because why.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
I just think that it would allow people to.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Like authentically be themselves and love themselves, and like there
wouldn't be a standard to look a certain way because
those standard people are all full of plastic. So like,
why is our society and culture chasing something that's not
even real?
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Yeah, sort of, It's what I was saying earlier. My
guess is again, ten fifteen years from now that we
pendulum back and then that look as I can again,
I'm going to add one more.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Oh, yeah, go for it.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Oh, because I live in New York City. I didn't
have a dishwasher for the last seven years and then
I just moved into apartment with a dishwasher, and I'm
kind of like, there's no need for this at all.
Like hand washing your dishes is actually more efficient. And
then you handwash them and then you put the a dishwasher,
you just like push it in there and kind of
wait until you fill up your dishwasher and then clean them.
(25:07):
I don't think dishwashers are do I don't think we
need them all right?
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Pause pause.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
What what if once you get married and have a family,
and say you have four or five kids.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
And there's a lot of plates and a lot of bowls.
Good call, good, great call, great call out. I do Okay,
I do.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
I do get what you're saying though, Like if you're
just like by yourself, like just do it yourself. But
I'm thinking like big families are all that type of stuff.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
I'm like, it could come in handy. It does come
in handy.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Good call. Yeah, well I won't know.
Speaker 10 (25:43):
Yeah facts as someone with a family in a household before. Actually,
when I heard cell phone verse dishwasher, it made dishwashers
sound pretty good. Not just for future you have for
future reference. All right, guys, here is Shi nine.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
Hi. My name is Maddie and a basketball player from
New Jersey, and I want to ask how how can
I evolve? Evolve my game?
Speaker 7 (26:15):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (26:18):
You got the question off? Got the question off, Maddie.
I was gonna say, so be evolved in high school
because her student section was so loud and involved that
it made playing defense easier and we hyped her up
so much that it helped grow a game. Just from
the pier any energy standpoint.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
At rocketizing energy confidence.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Yeah, it depends on like what age you are, like
totally changes how you want to like become better your
sport athletically. I think football is weird because people put
a lot of emphasis on training and like getting stronger.
(27:02):
Oh wait, also, Maddie, ye're I mean you're probably not
playing football if I had to guess, so you probably
don't care what I'm saying. I believe in playing more
than one sport if you're still young, Like, yes, I think,
don't don't just stick to basketball if that's what you're playing.
(27:22):
I think soccer is going to help you with footwork.
I think softball will help you with hand eye coordination.
And once you get to high school and you know
what you're good at, I think lock in and commit
to that one sport. But like do a lot of
kids like stop or like isolate what sports they play
like from a really young age now. And I don't
think that's good for growing athletically because you're still growing
and learning like about your body, and I think you'll
(27:44):
like be able to hone in like so many different
skills from kind of testing yourself with different like athletic activities.
So that would be my advice, and Maddie for your dad,
but your dad that don't let them lock you into something.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
No, literally, I think that's the biggest thing is like
it's almost the parents and really the coacher, the coaching
who is like forcing these kids to pick one sport
when they're in third grade, and it's like, no, like
play as many sports as long as you can, because
just for print what you said, it helps in so
many different ways.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
But I think for me specifically with.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Basketball, I think that so many kids think you have
to do something special, but really it's doing the most
simple basic things. And so that's like even in the WNBA,
we still do layup lines, we still work on figure
eight ball handling, we still work on defensive slides, like
we do the most basic things even at the highest level,
(28:38):
and so it's just like learning how to do those
and don't get not getting bored with them. I think
always being the hardest worker on any team that you
are on is always a really really good thing.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Being a great teammate is huge.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
But at the end of the day, I think if
you are the hardest worker that remember to have fun,
like smile, laugh, enjoy.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
What you were doing because you're in your butt kick
to practice.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
So when it's game time, like go out there and
enjoy it with your teammates, like that's that's the fun part.
But be the hardest worker and do the basic, simple
things really really well.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
My special teams coaching college always said there's only two
things you can control, your attitude and your effort. Yep,
and I've I think about that quote every single day
that I'm alive. The only things I can control are
my attitude. I'm gonna have a good time, I'm gonna
have fun, I'm gonna be positive, and my effort and
I'm going to give it my all and try my
(29:30):
hardest and then everything else will fall into place.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
Love.
Speaker 7 (29:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Wait, Also the other thing I want to say, if you, like,
if you do one sport from an early age, you
can burn out on that sport like so fast. And
this is also for like if parents are listening, Like
if you if you're a basketball family, but like you
get to play soccer or run track or like do
whatever while you're growing up, then you like have time
to do other things and it makes you love love
basketball more. If you're doing basketball drills for twelve months
(29:58):
of the year and like like you were going to
burn out so so so hard, Like just like what
travel baseball Those families, those families are like never home
and it's for like seventh graders.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
How many sports do you play growing up?
Speaker 3 (30:19):
I mean, I I graduated high school and still played
football and ran track and then played like Columbia basketball,
like Rack basketball, So I was never like only playing football,
but I ran track in high school too. Yeah. My
dad's big thing was playing soccer because organized football is
not worth like it's pretty crazy to have like first
(30:42):
graders trying to like run offense, you know what I mean.
My dad had us play soccer so that we could
learn how to use our feet and have good footwork.
And then when when football gets like somewhat more organized
than we switch over to football.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
Yeah, smart, that's a That's what I was gonna say.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
We did swimming, gymnastics, softball, golf, basketball, volleyball, track like.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
We did all We did all of it because it
all helps.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
So if anyone's listening, like, let your kids play as
many as they can, so as long as they can.
Speaker 10 (31:14):
All right, cool, cool, All right, last one here for you, guys,
one best one healthy.
Speaker 7 (31:19):
My name is Josh and I have just graduated the
University of Iowa talks. I've got a little question for you.
How often the stuff like that go on in the WNBA,
where like something happens on the court that's obviously disrespectful
and you guys kind of pick up your fists and
take care of it in the locker room after the
gay Is that something that happens quite a lot.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Of No, honestly, that that never happens, literally never happens,
and like it barely even happens on the court. I
think probably what I did this year is the most
it's been done in years.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
But yeah, that's just not how we roll on our side.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
But I will say there are a lot of like,
actually know what this team was so good this year
with Indiana that like we would just talk it out
like it like everyone was very understanding.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
Everyone just wanted to do their best to grow. And
sometimes part of being an.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Elite level athlete is you can't always listen to the
tone of people because everyone's competing at such a high
level that you just have to listen to the message.
And so that's on you to mature to grow to
know that, like everyone's in it for the same reason
you're trying to win. But no, there's there's never fights
in I say that there's a massive fight next year,
but there's never fights in the locker rooms.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
My little brother went to Iowa shout out brother Gohawks.
And again, I don't play in the WNBA, but I've
played sports for a long time. Most athletes are very
confident people, very smart people, and used to playing a
sport at like a very high energy level and then
going to class or going home to their family. Like,
(32:58):
athletes who have played sports for a long time are
very capable of compartmentalizing like such high energy when they're
playing their sport. And like, I have seen so many
football fights where dudes are punching each other in the
head and literally ten seconds later on the same football
field dab each other up and hug it and then
we like everything's good. Funny story my head football coach,
(33:23):
my junior senior year, if two players got in a fight,
they'd have to hold hands and walk around the football
field once. It was the best, the best post fight
like punishment you could ever have. And it's like kind
of funny because everyone would do it and you just
like laugh about it. But yeah, that's a good question. No,
that's good. Lot of the room is like kind of
a sacred place, and fighting in the locker room is
(33:45):
like not a good thing to do.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
No, if that's happening, someone's probably getting kicked off like
that just doesn't happen.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
Well, we are ten for ten. We appreciate you guys
calling in.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
These are like our most fun segment, I feel like,
because we just never know what's gonna happen, and so
you guys are getting our our honest, authentic opinions.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Let's it's a little Thursday mail bag. Might do this
again if it does well, If you like it and
share it and post on your Facebook page for your
mom and aunt to comment on, We'll.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Do this again and call in, have your have your
and mom and leave voicemails.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
Thanks guys,
I did taekwondo and karate when I was little, but
I can't.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Oh, I don't remember this move, Tiger, And then you
do this? No, what where did they go?
Speaker 3 (00:16):
It was in north It was like in northern Columbia.
You know where Sam's is, like off the highway. Dude,
it was like this little studio there, Tiger, what eagle
like stuff like that?
Speaker 4 (00:31):
How old were you young?
Speaker 3 (00:34):
I don't think I got past being like a tangerine
belt or something like that. Episode thirteen. This is a
we're double dipping, double dipping baby halfway through October. So
(00:57):
we're just gonna do a mailbag. These questions arenarly and
it's just fun for us. Let's go, Hi, this.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
Is Melanie from Nashville, Tennessee. Then I have a question, Sophie,
what does the typical off season look like? And then lastly,
you know, Andy Cohen is a Bravo connection with you guys,
and he's from Saint Louis. I thought that was neat anyway, Sophie,
I hope you have a speedy recovery. Thanks guys, enjoy
(01:26):
your podcast. Bye bye.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
What a sweet lady.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
I didn't know that Andy was from Saint Louis.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Yeah, I'm going to a Blues game with him in November.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Oh nice.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
He's the first time I met Andy. He came into
my green room and gave me a big hug and
said hello, Missourni and gave me a blue squeeze. Typical
his whole If you ever watch watch it Happens Live, Sophie,
it's like the after Show, like his studio. Yeah, everything
is like the arch or like Cardinals everything. So he's
like very oh shoot, like loyal to Saint Louis.
Speaker 6 (01:58):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
So I spend my off season, I guess right now rehabing.
So injury is going good. I'm getting stronger, Sully, but
surely I'm a weak piece of shit right now.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Let me tell you. Get my ass kicked. But it's fine.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
But typically in an off season for me, I would
do like maybe some broadcasting for a team.
Speaker 7 (02:21):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
But this year, I'm just going to train. So I'm
just gonna be lifting.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
That includes just like becoming stronger cardio and then just
like training on the basketball court. So this is a
good year for me to dial in and focus and
hopefully I can work on my tan a little bit too.
Speaker 7 (02:35):
You know.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
In my free time. So that's what my off season looks.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Like. You do a good job of not like only
being a basketball player, like you know, there's so many
other things.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yeah, well thanks guys, well thank you, because I think
I think I need that balance though, Like there's some
people who can just like be in the gym twenty
four hours a day through sixty five days a week,
and like that is just like not me at all.
Like I want to work out for like three or
four hours and then I want to get the heck
away from it. Like I need the balance of both.
Speaker 6 (03:03):
Do I need it?
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Yeah? What I mean in professionally, like when you when
you were doing your like broadcasting stuff for the Suns
and stuff that's cool, like a lot of people are
fine hooping and that, like you've you've opened so many
doors for yourself. I think that's the smartest thing, you know,
So good ship.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
But it also allows me to like do cool things
like this or like go do events or go even
go back home and stuff actually doing stuff with the Suns.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Last year, I was actually here a lot more.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Because I was like I didn't actually get to do
as much as I wanted to do in the off season,
so this this time. I'm just rehabbing and training, and
I think it's gonna be kind of fun, to be honest.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
We'll see.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Hell yeah, there's a sweet question.
Speaker 8 (03:45):
It's kind was all right, guys, nixt one coming up
for you here, Yes, is that stow Work had a
quick relationship question.
Speaker 7 (03:57):
How would do a hando emotional shooting? I'm going through
it right now.
Speaker 9 (04:02):
I'm just curious how you guys, If.
Speaker 7 (04:04):
You guys have ever dealt with that anyway, the pods
keep it out. They both are amazing. Have a good night.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
You go first.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I am not a fan of any type of cheating.
So I just think that like if you are, if
you're in a relationship with something, you should be open
enough to have communication even if like things change.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
It's like you, it's a respect type of thing.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
It's communication, and so you're always evolving, You're always growing,
so is your the person you're dating.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
So like things are going to change. But I think
the biggest thing is you need to communicate.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
And I feel like a lot of people stop communicating
and stop dating each other, and so once you kind
of stop doing that, people need that type of stuff.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
So maybe there is emotional cheating but I am not
a fan of that.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I think if I were to catch that, I would
say something to my person and if it like continued,
then I'd be done.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Okay, I think you and I agree. I was going
to unlike physical cheating, where I think you're allowed to
like walk away an explanation. I do think emotional cheating
is a little grayer and like it it deserves a
conversation because technically it's so gray and a lot like
for me, I'm a very flirty person. I'm also a
very like touchy person, and there's a lot of things
(05:19):
that like I subconsciously do that are just like kind
of part of my personality. But also remember single long
time that are just like built into how I interact
with people that I'm sure if I was dating someone
they like wouldn't appreciate. Therefore, uh, conversations are super important.
But I don't think I think emotional cheating, I wouldn't.
(05:42):
I don't like the word cheating is it sounds like
so like it sounds like such a backstab when I
don't think people always necessarily do that on purpose. But yeah,
if someone is like, you know, like doing it to you,
after the conversations and after you've asked for things to
stop then like, yeah, that's definite to walk away from that.
(06:02):
But yeah, good question. I agree, good question.
Speaker 10 (06:05):
All right, guys, thanks for the advice there.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Moving on to number three.
Speaker 11 (06:11):
Sugar, I forgot I was gonna say, oh yeah, okay,
So this is Dana from California and always have a
question for you. So if you're in a situation so
like you just got like knocked off your horse, so stuke,
like you just kind of like got a really huge setback,
there anything that you can like that you depend on
or some kind of catchphrase. All right, thank you for
(06:32):
your podcast. You're both very delightful. Bye.
Speaker 10 (06:36):
All right, any positive, self sufficient and self supporting mantras
you guys got.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
That's a really good question, A specific saying. I don't have,
but I've I've always told myself like this sounds maybe
like kind of shallow, but like am I am I
gonna die?
Speaker 10 (06:54):
No?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
And do I have family and friends around me who
always love me? And that that answers yes? And nice.
I think as long as you know you have that
base level, I do think you can get through everything.
And kind of back to our last episode, we had
a question about like moving away from home. I think
if you've been through subjected yourself to a lot of
(07:16):
hardships and you've made it through those. For me personally,
I use the times that I have been in shitty situations,
whether that was like laid off, ran out of money,
I like hate, you know, like shitty on a depth chart,
like all those things. Everything has worked itself out. And
now that I've done it so many times, I know
(07:36):
to just be patient and trust myself to get through it.
So Dana, you will get through this and you're gonna
be okay, and then that will make this next time
some shit happens to you that much easier and you'll
be that much more confident in yourself. So keep grinding,
Mamasi da dude.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
That's that was actually really great us because my biggest
thing is I think people forget in life, especially with
social media nowadays, everyone thinks that everyone's life is so
easy and bring bone butterflies, and it's just you know,
it's so perfect on the other side, but it's really not.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Like everyone goes through struggles.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Everyone goes through trials, and like, my biggest thing is
that's where you learn a lot about yourself. That's like
where you grow, right, And so I think that if
you don't have those things, even like with an injury,
Like I don't really know what she's going through, but
like if it's physical health, if it's mental health, if
it's all that type of stuff, Like sometimes that's when
maybe you're more grateful.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Your perspective shifts.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
And changes, and on the other side of it, you're
a lot more happy and you're a lot more grateful
that you went through because you learn so much more
about yourself, we're around, about the people around you.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Like, there's so many benefits and beauty. When there's trials.
I think it's hard, don't get me wrong, but you're
always going to come out on the other side of it.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Yeah yeah, so Dana, right now it sucks, but you're
going to be so you're going to be a fucking
beast afterwards. And you just got to know that, and
you got to know that. It's like I love to
say that you you callous as a human. Every time
some shit's like really tough, it breaks you down, and
then you're like a callous You grow tougher and stronger
and you'll just callous showy through life. That's a very
(09:04):
good question.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
It is stay positive though, Yeah.
Speaker 10 (09:09):
Very inspirational, very motivational.
Speaker 12 (09:11):
Guys.
Speaker 10 (09:11):
I like the metaphor of being a callous It makes
you look at callouses in a different way now, and
the causes are.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
Beautiful, dude, I day for you. Not the ones on
my feet.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
No, we don't want those, That's all I think.
Speaker 10 (09:23):
The balus of life. All right, Next one for you guys,
here number number four.
Speaker 6 (09:27):
Here we go, say Sophie West. It's a question for Sophie.
Are you thinking that you get out of the league.
I mean, you see yourself doing it, but you're type
just going to be coaching. Just kind of wondering.
Speaker 12 (09:39):
Thanks.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
Name is Gerald, by.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
The way, Gerald, Yeah, well hello Gerald.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
You know, I don't really know what I want to
do when I'm done playing.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
I feel like I want to play as long as
I can, maybe another eight to ten years.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Who knows.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I I would love to coach, but I'll to think
like I want to get married and I want to
have a family, and the life of coaching is not
so ideal for all that. So there's that I'd love
to do broadcast. I would love to be in the
entertainment space. So who knows like I. I would also
love to be on a yacht not doing anything, So
(10:20):
we have a lot of options. I don't know yet,
so just kind of being where my two feet are
at it right now.
Speaker 10 (10:24):
All right, So thanks for sharing. Next question here, number
five the dating questions that we need both of you
guys for this one.
Speaker 12 (10:33):
Two questions one what is your baseline for dating age
wise youngest and oldest for both of you? And a
second question do either of you write poetry? And if
you do, what's that about or what's that like for you?
Thanks Byie.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
I don't write poetry per se, but I love rhyming
a lot of my child and would like write like
is actually a rap lyrics? Yeah, so not poetry per se,
but if you give me two beers, I'll freestylt for you.
If that's God, that's what we're looking for. The age

Speaker 11 (11:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (11:17):
I have him. I have a song called Oh it
was a geometry song that we made in ninth grade.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Could be pretty good.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
It was and we got like a and we got
like a B plus, which is which was so whack. Okay,
age wise, I think it's so weird when the age
gap is huge that I would always like, I will
always keep it like pretty tight, and I would advise
other people to just like, like also keep it tight.
(11:46):
My brother is five years younger than me, and I've
always thought that he was like I like looked out
for him, and he's he'll always be a pup. So
I think I've just kind of as I moved through life,
I've always thought, no one younger than my brother I
ever date, which is five years so for me right now,
it would be twenty six and I'm thirty five.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
It's not that bad. I feel like the older you get,
it's not that bad.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
I agree, But like now I just think people it
just is like, so people are so weird. I wouldn't
even tempt it, even if you think it's normal. Okay,
so say you're older, there's no ceiling give me.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Oh no, ew ew no, she's experienced.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
So you're saying that if you were in New York
and there's this really pretty girl, cool vibe, great job
well for herself, and you turn out she's she turns
out to be like twenty six, you would say no,
but she's like your tie everything twenty six.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Four years younger. I don't think it's crazy, but like, yeah,
I don't think I I would especially date.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
I don't think i'd go, oh yeah, because I feel
like the maturity level is still just different.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
I just know when I meet a couple and the
dude is like thirty and and the girl my friend,
is twenty five, I'm like, you're a fucking weirdo. Like
I always think those dudes are whack. Do you know
what I'm saying? Like that couple where the guys like
like drives a truck and she's like, way younger. You're
just like, I don't you guys. Guys are weirding me out.
(13:17):
He guys weird me out, but not.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
You and your eighty five year old wife.
Speaker 13 (13:21):
All right, that's fine. You have the handicapped sticker. Hey, yeah,
that's why you do it.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Facts.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
I do not write poetry or anything like that, but
I do journal. I do like to journal because I
feel like so many fun things happen and I forget
like little moments that are either like good, bad, funny, dumb,
and so like. I like to write all that stuff down,
especially during season or if like something cool happened, or
I get to go do something fun. I don't know,
it's kind of fun to look back on. But I'm
(13:53):
right there with you. I think only older. I've only
dated older.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
That's more typical though for girl like I feel like
the age gap is usually older guy younger girl. I'd
love to date like a divorcee for a second. Anyways,
next question question number six. Here, here we go.
Speaker 14 (14:08):
Alright, this message is actually for Sophie, but West I
would love your opinion as well. My name is Josh,
and my question is about collecting. Do you have any
personal collections of any you know, players, cards, or jerseys.
Please let me know and thanks and keep putting out
(14:29):
great shows. We really appreciate it. All right, thanks again, all.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Right, Josh, Well, Wes left, so oh curious.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
I'm not a big collector of things, so I don't
like having a lot of stuff, and so I haven't
been a big collector of things. I think my biggest
collection would be my swimsuits.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
That's good.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
I love collecting jerseys and I was in like junior
high that was such a cool thing. However, Josh d
m me and may I interest you in a big
Westy card. This is a big west e collector's edition
from the McDonald's All American Game in Houston, Texas. It
says Big westy high six footwaight to ten to ten
(15:19):
High School, Robert High School College in Montana State, and
then my bio says no left hand, but scrappy wants
to have fun. It's Tops. It's literally a TOPS card.
So if anyone needs a Big West card, Josh, I'll
send you one.
Speaker 4 (15:38):

Oh oh so some Tops just made one for you.
Speaker 3 (15:47):

Speaker 12 (15:53):
Just there and I WASHO.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
I was like, guys, say less, wait, so did you
put your own description on back?
Speaker 3 (16:01):

I was like, I think this works.

(17:36):
can I add one more thing for Josh? I love
collecting shirts and hats or like sweatshirts from like dive
bars or like diners or cafes in places I've visited.
I think those are so classic and like just a
great representation of whatever, like little fucking town you were visiting,
or like once from home or once from we're event
(17:57):
to school. I think anything that's like the diner Coleman
is like that shit's so sick and it's timeless and
and it'll always be like a conversation starter. So that's
like that's my mind.
Speaker 11 (18:10):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Also it's like Shakespeare's pizza cups. So yeah, I have
like four I have like fourteen of those.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Mate, I have like five of them in here too.
I always have that.
Speaker 10 (18:21):
So if I feel like a lot of NBA players
do like the jersey swap, do w girlies do that?
Speaker 11 (18:26):
Like you ever?
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Dude, we don't get to do jersey swaps because we
legit get like two or three jerseys and we wear
that same one every game, so like they kind of
get like multiple Like if they want to do that,
they would have another one that they could have. We
don't get that option because we literally get like three jerseys.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
But yeah, if you mess it up, you are screwed.
Speaker 12 (18:46):
So now.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
All right, good to know, good to know. Okay, here
it goes question number seven.
Speaker 9 (18:54):
A little better. So my question is do you still
train also large and it's so often a week or
a month, does your schedule allow you to train? Thank
you so much?
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Well, did you train martial arts?
Speaker 8 (19:10):
No?
Speaker 4 (19:11):
I was.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
I did taekwondo and karate when I was little, But
I oh, I don't.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Remember this move tiger and then you do this? No,
what where did they go?
Speaker 3 (19:28):
It was in north It was like in northern Columbia,
you know where Sam's is, like off the highway, dude,
it was like this little studio there, Tiger, what eagle
like stuff like that? How old.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
Were you.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Young? I don't think I got past being like a
tangerine belt or something like that.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
But no, we were.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
We did taekwondo with mister Hawkman at a and I
you do I know.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
That name mister Hawkman.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
You he's awesome, like he they produced like badasses, like
they go do like tournaments and stuff around the world,
like with taekwondo and stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
But I stopped at age six. I got my black
belt and I was done. So it was fine.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
I wrestled. My dad was big and my dad had
me wrestle for a long time. Uh did you? Was
like okay?
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Junior high.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
I quit wrestling probably uh fifth or sixth grade. But
it's good to learn to like like you and I
have played team sports our whole lives. Playing a sphere
where you're by yourself on a matt kind of you
got to like learn to grow some fucking balls and
like go get ass. So wrestling is a good sport
if you want to get your kids like aggressive.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Wait, have you ever tried kromagaw?
Speaker 10 (20:51):
No?
Speaker 1 (20:51):
What dude, you need to go do that. So it's
like a self defense class, but it is. It is hard,
but super cool. So I did that in college, Like,
are team did that finger?
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Yeah, so and someone says.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Brainstem ie gouch I gouch.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
The answer is no, we haven't done that is so long.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Yeah. Sorry, no martial arts here, that's good. There's sprayes.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Yeah, it's all your your sound effects with everything.
Speaker 13 (21:32):
Yeah. Oh god, it's not getting carried away literally.
Speaker 10 (21:42):
Yes, sorry, I checked these questions. This actually ended up
being a great uh informative.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Let there, We've learned some pretty good moves here. Thanks guys.
All right, there is question number eight.
Speaker 11 (21:54):
All right, here's my wild question.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
If you had to remove one invention from all of history,
which would it be and why?
Speaker 14 (22:06):
Thanks guys, love the content.
Speaker 7 (22:08):
Have a good one.
Speaker 12 (22:11):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Wow, that is a great question. I don't even know.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
For the sake of like entertainment. If cell phones were
not invented, our entire personalities, interactions, relationships, existence, society would
be so different, and like, yeah it was. I think
that we had a golden age of cell phones being
beneficial and I would imagine at this point they're not
(22:40):
good for us, and I think everything pendulum, so like
we'll go back in ten years, so like people will
like detach from their phones a little once we're at once,
all of our brains melt. But like, for the sake
of this question, I think like if that invention never happened,
seeing what society would look like today would be incredibly interesting,
don't you think?
Speaker 4 (23:01):
A thousand percent?
Speaker 1 (23:02):
And I just think that like you would have to
be more friendly and more outgoing, and like people would
get along more, people would have good conversations, people would
be more inviting and more welcoming.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
So I'm so there with you.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Yeah, yeah, but I mean people like society thrived without phones,
like it would be fine.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
And I do like how I think it's writing letters
and like cards with letters, handwritten stuff is like so
like those they're charitable to me because like, no, you
don't get that anymore.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Everyone just text and calls.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
And so I think I do like the phone for
like if you need something, call, but everything else, I
think it's kind of ruined just saying.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
I do.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
And this one's like kind of superficial. But I kind
of wish like.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
Botox injections implants all.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
That that wasn't a thing, because I just think, because why.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
I just think that it would allow people to.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Like authentically be themselves and love themselves, and like there
wouldn't be a standard to look a certain way because
those standard people are all full of plastic. So like,
why is our society and culture chasing something that's not
even real?
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Yeah, sort of, It's what I was saying earlier. My
guess is again, ten fifteen years from now that we
pendulum back and then that look as I can again,
I'm going to add one more.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Oh, yeah, go for it.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Oh, because I live in New York City. I didn't
have a dishwasher for the last seven years and then
I just moved into apartment with a dishwasher, and I'm
kind of like, there's no need for this at all.
Like hand washing your dishes is actually more efficient. And
then you handwash them and then you put the a dishwasher,
you just like push it in there and kind of
wait until you fill up your dishwasher and then clean them.
(25:07):
I don't think dishwashers are do I don't think we
need them all right?
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Pause pause.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
What what if once you get married and have a family,
and say you have four or five kids.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
And there's a lot of plates and a lot of bowls.
Good call, good, great call, great call out. I do Okay,
I do.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
I do get what you're saying though, Like if you're
just like by yourself, like just do it yourself. But
I'm thinking like big families are all that type of stuff.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
I'm like, it could come in handy. It does come
in handy.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Good call. Yeah, well I won't know.
Speaker 10 (25:43):
Yeah facts as someone with a family in a household before. Actually,
when I heard cell phone verse dishwasher, it made dishwashers
sound pretty good. Not just for future you have for
future reference. All right, guys, here is Shi nine.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
Hi. My name is Maddie and a basketball player from
New Jersey, and I want to ask how how can
I evolve? Evolve my game?
Speaker 7 (26:15):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (26:18):
You got the question off? Got the question off, Maddie.
I was gonna say, so be evolved in high school
because her student section was so loud and involved that
it made playing defense easier and we hyped her up
so much that it helped grow a game. Just from
the pier any energy standpoint.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
At rocketizing energy confidence.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Yeah, it depends on like what age you are, like
totally changes how you want to like become better your
sport athletically. I think football is weird because people put
a lot of emphasis on training and like getting stronger.
(27:02):
Oh wait, also, Maddie, ye're I mean you're probably not
playing football if I had to guess, so you probably
don't care what I'm saying. I believe in playing more
than one sport if you're still young, Like, yes, I think,
don't don't just stick to basketball if that's what you're playing.
(27:22):
I think soccer is going to help you with footwork.
I think softball will help you with hand eye coordination.
And once you get to high school and you know
what you're good at, I think lock in and commit
to that one sport. But like do a lot of
kids like stop or like isolate what sports they play
like from a really young age now. And I don't
think that's good for growing athletically because you're still growing
and learning like about your body, and I think you'll
(27:44):
like be able to hone in like so many different
skills from kind of testing yourself with different like athletic activities.
So that would be my advice, and Maddie for your dad,
but your dad that don't let them lock you into something.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
No, literally, I think that's the biggest thing is like
it's almost the parents and really the coacher, the coaching
who is like forcing these kids to pick one sport
when they're in third grade, and it's like, no, like
play as many sports as long as you can, because
just for print what you said, it helps in so
many different ways.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
But I think for me specifically with.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Basketball, I think that so many kids think you have
to do something special, but really it's doing the most
simple basic things. And so that's like even in the WNBA,
we still do layup lines, we still work on figure
eight ball handling, we still work on defensive slides, like
we do the most basic things even at the highest level,
(28:38):
and so it's just like learning how to do those
and don't get not getting bored with them. I think
always being the hardest worker on any team that you
are on is always a really really good thing.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Being a great teammate is huge.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
But at the end of the day, I think if
you are the hardest worker that remember to have fun,
like smile, laugh, enjoy.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
What you were doing because you're in your butt kick
to practice.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
So when it's game time, like go out there and
enjoy it with your teammates, like that's that's the fun part.
But be the hardest worker and do the basic, simple
things really really well.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
My special teams coaching college always said there's only two
things you can control, your attitude and your effort. Yep,
and I've I think about that quote every single day
that I'm alive. The only things I can control are
my attitude. I'm gonna have a good time, I'm gonna
have fun, I'm gonna be positive, and my effort and
I'm going to give it my all and try my
(29:30):
hardest and then everything else will fall into place.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
Love.
Speaker 7 (29:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Wait, Also the other thing I want to say, if you, like,
if you do one sport from an early age, you
can burn out on that sport like so fast. And
this is also for like if parents are listening, Like
if you if you're a basketball family, but like you
get to play soccer or run track or like do
whatever while you're growing up, then you like have time
to do other things and it makes you love love
basketball more. If you're doing basketball drills for twelve months
(29:58):
of the year and like like you were going to
burn out so so so hard, Like just like what
travel baseball Those families, those families are like never home
and it's for like seventh graders.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
How many sports do you play growing up?
Speaker 3 (30:19):
I mean, I I graduated high school and still played
football and ran track and then played like Columbia basketball,
like Rack basketball, So I was never like only playing football,
but I ran track in high school too. Yeah. My
dad's big thing was playing soccer because organized football is
not worth like it's pretty crazy to have like first
(30:42):
graders trying to like run offense, you know what I mean.
My dad had us play soccer so that we could
learn how to use our feet and have good footwork.
And then when when football gets like somewhat more organized
than we switch over to football.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
Yeah, smart, that's a That's what I was gonna say.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
We did swimming, gymnastics, softball, golf, basketball, volleyball, track like.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
We did all We did all of it because it
all helps.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
So if anyone's listening, like, let your kids play as
many as they can, so as long as they can.
Speaker 10 (31:14):
All right, cool, cool, All right, last one here for you, guys,
one best one healthy.
Speaker 7 (31:19):
My name is Josh and I have just graduated the
University of Iowa talks. I've got a little question for you.
How often the stuff like that go on in the WNBA,
where like something happens on the court that's obviously disrespectful
and you guys kind of pick up your fists and
take care of it in the locker room after the
gay Is that something that happens quite a lot.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Of No, honestly, that that never happens, literally never happens,
and like it barely even happens on the court. I
think probably what I did this year is the most
it's been done in years.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
But yeah, that's just not how we roll on our side.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
But I will say there are a lot of like,
actually know what this team was so good this year
with Indiana that like we would just talk it out
like it like everyone was very understanding.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
Everyone just wanted to do their best to grow. And
sometimes part of being an.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Elite level athlete is you can't always listen to the
tone of people because everyone's competing at such a high
level that you just have to listen to the message.
And so that's on you to mature to grow to
know that, like everyone's in it for the same reason
you're trying to win. But no, there's there's never fights
in I say that there's a massive fight next year,
but there's never fights in the locker rooms.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
My little brother went to Iowa shout out brother Gohawks.
And again, I don't play in the WNBA, but I've
played sports for a long time. Most athletes are very
confident people, very smart people, and used to playing a
sport at like a very high energy level and then
going to class or going home to their family. Like,
(32:58):
athletes who have played sports for a long time are
very capable of compartmentalizing like such high energy when they're
playing their sport. And like, I have seen so many
football fights where dudes are punching each other in the
head and literally ten seconds later on the same football
field dab each other up and hug it and then
we like everything's good. Funny story my head football coach,
(33:23):
my junior senior year, if two players got in a fight,
they'd have to hold hands and walk around the football
field once. It was the best, the best post fight
like punishment you could ever have. And it's like kind
of funny because everyone would do it and you just
like laugh about it. But yeah, that's a good question. No,
that's good. Lot of the room is like kind of
a sacred place, and fighting in the locker room is
(33:45):
like not a good thing to do.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
No, if that's happening, someone's probably getting kicked off like
that just doesn't happen.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
Well, we are ten for ten. We appreciate you guys
calling in.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
These are like our most fun segment, I feel like,
because we just never know what's gonna happen, and so
you guys are getting our our honest, authentic opinions.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Let's it's a little Thursday mail bag. Might do this
again if it does well, If you like it and
share it and post on your Facebook page for your
mom and aunt to comment on, We'll.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Do this again and call in, have your have your
and mom and leave voicemails.
