Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Good Game with Sarah Spain, where we're wondering
who decided that selling discounted mattresses was a good way
to celebrate George Washington's birthday. It's Monday, February seventeenth, and
on today's show, we're running it back to my conversation
from October with Hooper, Sidney Colson, and Teresa Plaisance, aka
the faces of the League. I caught up with them
about playing in Athletes Unlimited, how to up the level
(00:21):
of launch, and whether it's possible for a prank to
go too far.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Since then, the duo has returned to Nashville for.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
The start of AU basketball season four, which runs through
early March. Also, in one of the biggest surprises of
free agency, Sid has a.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
New WNBA team.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Earlier this month, she signed a one year contract with
the Indiana Fever after spending the last three seasons with
the Las Vegas ass Wild stuff. Anyway, this interview was unhinged,
It was delightful. There was definitely some shade thrown. You
can hear for yourself my conversation with Sid and TPS
coming your way right after this. All right, it's time
(01:00):
for another group chat. Sure, to be the most unhinged yet.
It's where we take the tea from the text to
the airwaves. And so far we have two guests that
are watching television, ordering grub Hub and staring directly into
the sun.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Should be a good one. She's a guard for the.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Las Vegas Aces at a two time WNBA champion, a
ten year wnbavet. She's also played for the Liberty Links
Sky and Stars, RIP Stars and abroad in Poland and Israel.
Sholl return for the upcoming season of Athletes Unlimited Basketball.
Helped Texas A and M to its first national title
last month, debuted her signature sneaker.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
She was won half of the Riots.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Is slee funny sit in TP show on Foubu and
within hours of Kathy Engelbert rock in that New York
Skyline dress of the WNBA Finals, she went to a
store and found one for a photo op.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
It's the face of the league, Sidney Coleson. What's up,
sid What's wow?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
What an intro?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:45):
And anyways it was door dash and this is a
ring light at the sun.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Okay, perfect perfect.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Joining her a WNBA champion with the Las Vegas Aces
at twenty twenty two, also returning for the upcoming season
of au basketball in the WNBA shows, most recently with
the Seattle Storm in twenty twenty three. She's also played
for the Wing, Sun, Mystics, Aces and Shock Rip Shock
and a Broad in Turkey, China and Israel. She's an
LSU alum, the mother of Yamantha, the other half of
the Riot Isley Funny SID and TP Show and Fubu.
(02:10):
It's the Face of the League. Teresa plays on AKA TP.
What's up TP?
Speaker 4 (02:15):
How are we doing today? I just have to spend
time with sind so you already know how my day's going.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, lots of laughs and occasionally some side punches.
I'm assuming this is a big get for our show.
Both faces of the league, multiple leagues, really that you're
the faces of I want to start with the w NBA, though,
since we just put a bow on that season and
said I want to start with you. What was the
scene like for the Aces in the locker room after
elimination this year because you made that bid for a threepeat,
(02:41):
couldn't quite go the distance. So much to be excited
and proud of, but still hurts. What was it like
in locker room.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
Well, it hurts more when you like that. I was
fine until that. Yeah, I think it was. I send
this to a couple of people. I think it was
kind of like, not super surprising because we hadn't played
like the team that most people were used to suc
seeing us play like the last two seasons.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
So I think it was.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
We have been foreshadowing it all season because we just
couldn't get it right consistently enough, and a lot of
teams were playing several teams were just playing better throughout
the course of the season and definitely better once playoff
time hit. And so I think we just realized once
the season ended, like we just got work to do
in the offseason, like we need to reset, refocus, come
(03:33):
back with a different motivation and you know, try to.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Get There's a lot of emotion from Asia Wilson this year,
particularly when she got her MVP honors, and she said
that you molded her into the leader she is and
that she appreciated you speaking up for her and being
a voice for her when she sometimes didn't feel hurt.
Can you tell us about your mentorship role there?
Speaker 3 (03:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
I guess I wouldn't even call it like mentorship. But
it was just our friendship, not just happened to be
older than her. But but yeah, I mean since I
met Asia, I just felt like she was a really
good person. It was just crazy to see, Like everybody
talks about it a lot about her being like the
most humble superstar, but it's not. It's not just like
(04:14):
lip service. She really is one of the most talented
and humble people. I mean, like that should be an expectation,
I feel like for people, but it's not. It's not
what we come across, especially not in athletes. So I
don't know, I just gravitated toward her because of that
part of her, not even the basketball. Just she's a
solid person and so you know, she's always been kind
(04:35):
of like I'm gonna sit back and let other people
lead vocally. She was always doing it physically, but I
would always just you know, trying to be getting her
to speak up more and speak up more, like.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
For herself too, especially when you're that person on the team.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
You don't have to be mean or demonstrative, but people
need to be reminded sometimes like this is my this
is my shit, and I think getting yeah, so I'm
like comes to the time out like.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
I need the ball.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Yeah, so when she wouldn't say, I'm saying it to
everybody like for her.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
In my eyes.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
So yeah, it was just like a friendship that just
turned into meet on a rub. The kind of leader
out would be on to her superstar exactly.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Uh TP, you got waved by the storm in May
of last year. We've seen a lot of W players
spend some time away from the league and they get
back in with the team. Is that your goal to
get back in the W when you look ahead to
next W season.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
I think that is definitely an opportunity for me to
try to pursue. I love the W. I've played my
entire career on. I guess you've named like half the
teams at this point both of us. Every single team
was named, So it is something that I'm looking forward
to doing in this upcoming season. Also with the expansion team,
(05:50):
there's more opportunity there because as we know, this is
one of the hardest leagues to make and to maintain
a career in. So it would be extremely, uh wonderful
opportunity to be able to step back foot in the
W and have one more go at it.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
What have you been up to the last year.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Oh, what haven't I've been up to. I've been doing
a lot of family stuff. I've been training, I've been
I almost took a job overseas. I did actually go,
got stranded in Greece halfway to Israel, and then just
turned it on back around. All my flights to Israel
kept getting canceled or delayed indefinitely, which I guess therefore
(06:29):
meaning canceled. Yeah, but I wasnt stranded in Greece, which
wasn't like the worst place to be straded for no,
five days and it was it was nice. Then the
war got a little too intense. So you know what,
I'm going to go to a place where I have
two dogs that loved me and oh I have been
going to so my dad and I have this nineteen
(06:51):
sixty five bus stang and we've been Her name is Sally. Yeah,
we've been in Sally in the Karsha. She is pretty
love that Sally much. Yes.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Wait, so two dogs, I really I feel like the
one dog erasure and your intro I apologize for that.
Can you tell us other than Yamantha who you are
the mother of?
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Yeah, Yamantha, Yeah, Yams. But Yamantha for long and then
Yams's older brother's name is Chip. He's a champion eleven
year old cheweeny okay, Oh, I got him when I
was in college. We lost out the tournament and those
dog popped up on my Instagram page, and like any
college student would do, made the terrible decision to have responsibility.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
So I got him at that point, and he loves
me and he can't stand Yamantha crazy.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Yeah, good dynamic.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
You mentioned twelve more players for the Valkyries next year
than twenty four more in twenty six.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
With Portland and Toronto getting going.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
How do you see expansion affecting play quality and league growth?
Speaker 4 (07:51):
I think that you know, for years and years we've
been asking for expansion, asking for expansion because there's been
quite a few instances where people have not made a
team because of something outside of what they're capable of
doing on court or for that team. It's either a
money issue, a numbers issue, what have you. But you
(08:12):
have really talented athletes getting cut and not being able
to maintain their job in the w due to these issues.
So I think having an expansion team is really important.
With that we have these teams that have multiple Olympians,
multiple superstars, So you would have to think with more
money on the table with these expansion teams, you're gonna
see a lot more movement and free agency. We're gonna
(08:32):
shuffle the cards a little bit and see where they
may fall with these expansion teams, and I think it's
going to create some new excitement around the league. Also,
like women's sports are hot right now, this is the
time to get in and get active. And I think
that the markets that we chose to expand in have
always showed an appreciation for women's sports, and I think
this is just like the cherry on top.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
We got to take a quick break. More from SIT
and TP right after this said, when you look back
at this twenty twenty four season, incredible growth and popularity,
record attendance, merch sales, ratings, all the good stuff, but
also a lot of out of bounds commentary, a lot
(09:13):
of toxicity online, new fans, new media parachuting in sometimes
deleterious effect.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
How would you sum up your.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Experience as a player, balancing both sides of what went
on this year.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
Well, I think for a lot of it, I was
seeing it from the outside. I think there are certain
players who are going to have a way different perspective
because they were involved in either receiving some of the
racism and misogyny whatever it may have been. And Yeah,
for me, I think that we have an understanding that
the wider your fan base grows, you are going to
(09:47):
have people who come and are not necessarily in it
because they love when it's basketball. They might love a person,
or they might just love the fact that this thing
is growing in popularity and they're trolling. Now, it's like
it's gonna come with the territory of getting bigger, you
really can't run from it. I think that's with any
any sport, any like big celebrity trolls are gonna be there.
(10:11):
But I think it's really important that our leadership in
the w and our players speak up for one another
and that we make it clear that like, we don't
stand for certain stuff. Now what people do after that point,
you can't control what people do, but I let it
be known that, like, you know, like this is unnecessary.
It's not a lot of the time, it's not even funny. Honestly,
(10:34):
some of the stuff I can I could job.
Speaker 6 (10:35):
With it, yeah, you know, but like a lot of
the stuff is just like really redundant, very very boring,
and so it was it was very cool to see
the growth.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
Want It's great to see so many people interested in
the w And even if they came for Angel Caitlin Cameron,
like the rookie class Rakiya, they got to see other players,
I think, and that's a good thing. And so hopefully
that keeps growing and then you know, slowly the losers
just start to like weed themselves out.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
One would hope. Yeah, uh, let's talk athletes.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Unlimited basketball upcoming twenty twenty five season is in Nashville.
Either of you have any music skills that we're going
to see you show off on Broadway?
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Yeah, we're actually taking our callum.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
So no, then.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
That was just a little taste of what's yet to come.
We haven't had time to prepare. We had to go
get a little bit of outde though, right I would.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Yeah what she did?
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Yeah, No, but you tried hard, like you went for
it though. The courage that you had to like try
to go for that was incredible though, so much respect
for you said.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
The best response to either taking your clothes off or
trying to perform is when someone says it was courageous.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Uh so, congrats to that.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
You didn't have the taking your clothes off part, because
that would have been.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
That did not happen.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
For Yeah, for those listings that did not happen. It's
just those are two things that you would prefer a
different response to than courageous.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Do we have cowboy boots already?
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Are we? Do?
Speaker 2 (12:17):
We at least have the fits.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
I'll be going get fitted for some in the future.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Okay, Sid, you're part of the Athletes Unlimited executive Committee
who served as a chairperson from twenty twenty two to
twenty three.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Can you tell us how A used.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Different than other leagues, not just with the scoring, but
also like player involvement and equity.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
Yeah, I think Athletes Unlimited like mine is.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
My desire to be a part of it.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
When it first came about was because Natasha Cloud like
brought it to a few W players when they were
thinking about starting a women's league or a basketball league,
and I was out of the W at that point,
and I was like, Okay, well, like I still want
to play competitively. This being player led this really cool
and plus I would love to be a part of
(13:04):
like building something with other players, and so I just
liked I love the model.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
I love the scoring.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
System, how it's different, the leader board, and how you
switch teams every week. It's the first player led pro
league like outside of the W and the off season.
So they had a proven concept and a proven model
like with their other sports solftwall, lacrosse, volleyball. So for me,
it wasn't a huge risk. It was like they know
what they're doing. We would just be coming on and
(13:33):
adding our insight into what we know about the W
and what we know about overseas basketball and like combining
all that to help them continue to build this beyond
when we're the player executive Committee and so we have
steak in the company, which is really awesome, Like even
if you just played one year, you still have stake.
And so there are a lot of things about this
(13:55):
that John Patrick Coroff and Jonathan Soros they created this
to really be something that players can be proud of
and that you can take part in. And it's fun.
All the players that come here, they have a great time.
It's it's gone from six weeks to five weeks. But
being in Nashville had a lot of people excited too,
So we're happy, which we're here right now. Actually we're
(14:15):
about to leave when we get off with you and
go to just like a press conference a panel to
get people excited in the city about this. So, yeah,
it's cool. I'm glad that I've been a part of
it these last these.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
First four years. But hopefully it just continues to grow.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Yeah, and what keeps bringing you back, especially when you
win two titles with the Aces, you know, instead of
going abroad or resting, why do you keep coming back
to AU.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
I'm older, I've been over the overseas lifestyle for a
long time.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
I was never making enough money for it to make
sense to me.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
I'm like, let me work on things that I'm gonna
do when basketball is done, So they're coaching like I
coached at Rice for two years, or like work on
just like staying here and taking acting classes, Like, let
me just do something our rather lose money right now
and hopefully get it back down the line, keep going
and be knowing with insane coaches.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Yeah, the opportunity cast, it just didn't make sense.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Yeah, TP, you're the daughter of a coach, and in
a lot of ways that AU the players are the
coaches too. So should other players consider that as a
bonus when drafting teams each week and adding you that
you basically, you know, you get to bring all the
skills that you grew up with.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Yeah, I think it's just a bonus to spend time
with me generally, But I mean with all these other additives,
I would say that my mom's coaching experience. I've been
around the game of basketball since I literally had a
basketball in my Like, c what's the plastic crib that
they put babies in? That kind of sounds like inhumane,
but you know when you're born, they like put you
(15:47):
in that like plastic clear crib.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Yeah, sure, getting a visual Yeah yeah, in the hospital.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Yeah yeah, No, I had a basketball in there, so
like same. Yeah. So ever since then, like bastball has
been in my blood. I love like seeing the game.
I love like reading the game. Like I was talking
about picking rolls as like a six year old, which
is I would say, common.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Yeah, you were five foot eight though right at six?
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Part of why cowering? Yeah, cowering over everyone beside my brother.
That man is way too big?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Wait? Is your mom named do be?
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Like my hunches that it's based on the the show
that had the bee that taught you how right?
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Okay, I'm writing.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Yes, I'm writing a book, and that literally came up
in the book.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
This getting it or somebody writing it for you?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
No, no, I'm writing it about someone else. That's how
talented a writer. I'm I'm the one that they come to.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
I know. Can you believe it?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Anyway, there's a whole section on that show and the Doobies,
and I was like, that's got to be where the
name comes from.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
I love that is.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
That's so great.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
You guys are always full of jokes, your pranksters. Obviously,
I need a story of when you went too far,
either with a teammate or like a moment where a
coach wanted to keep serious.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
Oh I have a go one, go for it. Okay.
So this was one of the first days of practice
and we're in unlb's gym and we're going over like
some film about one of our like preseason games or
something like that, and like everybody's in these like folding chairs,
like surrounded by this rolling TV. And Sydney's like placed
(17:23):
on the floor like like the small people that can
like contort themselves into sitting. However, they want to sit
wasn't in the front row, and so we're watching this
clip and the clip is like the Paul gets skipped
up to Sydney and it gets paused, and so Becky's like,
where's Sydney, Where's Sydney, and like you just see this
(17:44):
hand in the front like get raised and she's like
here literally in that voice, and Becky was like, sid
what's your inn one name.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
And city was like a little poop.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Like plays the clip. Sidney took like three more dribbles
and like turned it over. I know you did.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
She was like, you could have passed it before you
took all these dribbles. Just pass it next time. But
Sidney thought she was about to get like an ant
one compliment. Yeah, I was just telling her to pass
the ball. Yeah, that was That didn't answer her question though.
That was just a funny story too far, So I
(18:29):
went too far.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Yeah, what about with like our favorite celebrity couple of
Postra Bam that's what we call Asia and Bam. I
know nothing about that, mm hmmm, not based on your tweets.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
I'll just honestly, I'll just get in there and say
so Sidney likes to stir the pot. I don't know
if you've seen her other tweets where there's evidence that
she's a postar.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Yeah, people say I went too far with the dress.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
No, not far enough. Should have worn it.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
Right, Yes, I'm thinking about I might still But when
did we go too far? Probably like in practice, Like
when when the coaches got there in twenty twenty two,
they weren't used.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
To our humor, like they didn't know us.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
They're coming from the NBA, where I guess it's more
classy or something.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Sure, they said we're way more raunchy.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
Than them, So like we would just Becky could say anything.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
She's like, yo, just like next time, just penetrate dropping in.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
The hole, like get up, and we're like, you know,
like we're like giggling her, like that's what she said?
Or man, what was the play that we had and
we wanted to name it? I want to say Coucie
or something.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
Like yeah, are.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Yeah, you're allowed to say anything?
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Yeah, Okay, we got a problem.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Are we getting a season two of this show? Sid
in TP?
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (19:56):
We sure hope, So we're gonna say yes, we're just
gonna infested. Okay, there's there's talks about it. There's interest
in it, and we obviously had such a great time
doing season one that we want to we're pushing really
harder season two, and a lot of people are pushing
really harder season two. So why do you want to
be on?
Speaker 2 (20:13):
I do?
Speaker 4 (20:14):
I want?
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Thousand percent want to be on?
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Okay, what's your elevator pitch?
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Yeah, what's your elevator pitch? Don't beg it's okay.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
So actually my elevator pitch is based on like a
Ryan Reynolds show Wrexham where they have this like women's
team and they don't really know how to handle it.
I feel like there needs to be a good pitch,
Like it's a fake, fake meeting with executives explaining how
women's and men's sports are different, but actually it's just
like you keep going back and forth between being different
and the same. So you're like, well, so one thing
(20:42):
you need to do with women's sports is like make
sure it's not too gay, but also make it like
extremely gay, and then also like you need to make
sure that the women are like super feminine but also
like not feminine at all. Yeah, So basically the whole
point is like it's impossible to sell women's sports, because
like it's everything and everyone wants it to be one
thing instead of many things. I'm gonna keep working on that.
I'll bring you around like that of that pitch.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
We'll think about it. Okay, we think about it.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Perfect, perfect. Did you guys meet Ryan Reynolds and does
he smell good?
Speaker 3 (21:13):
We did it.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
We were more so we're more fincurted with like what
does Blake smell like?
Speaker 6 (21:18):
Fair?
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Fair? Fair fair?
Speaker 2 (21:19):
I figured as much.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
I'll let you know if I meet her, and then
you guys let me know if you mean okay, perfect, perfect.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
We have to take another quick break.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
The conclusion of my conversation with Sitting TP is right
after this. Okay, TP, speed round. First, who's funnier?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Your said?
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Wow? I know, but I thought you were so funny.
You remember wanna have had that breakthrough one day during
the show. It's like, you're actually funny?
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Sure?
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Think?
Speaker 3 (21:50):
So we have a show to you.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Who's more likely to break during a scene? TP? Yeah,
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
I don't know that because we've had our times where
like the other one just does something that's so uncalculated
that you can't even predict the ridiculousness. So I feel
like we both had I feel like it's fifty to fifty.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Who's the dream Cameo on the show?
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (22:15):
For me, I would be the Obama's Oh said what
about you? Yeah, I really want them on the show.
I feel like they have such a great personality, so
funny and they are They're super polished with like a
playful spirit about them. So we need more of that
in our lives.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Personally, I agree said dream Cameo.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Oh my gosh, I'm trying to think.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
I'm trying to think actors because I feel like it
would be like Quinca.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Or Ray Oh.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Yeah, like people with that kind of humor. I think, yeah,
that'd be awesome. Do you have an idea that didn't
work out or end up making the show?
Speaker 5 (22:55):
Well, when we came up with the show, like when
we didn't know that it was going to be a show,
we thought we were just doing stuff. We came up
with like a long list of things that we thought
would be fun or funny to do. And she just
mentioned one yesterday and it was I was like, Oh,
we should go to like a be sanctuary and we're
(23:15):
like the bee keeper suit, but we have to simultaneously
be like doing a spelling bee and like you have
to really be focused. And somebody was like, oh, so
do you get stung if you get the word? You know,
wasn't initially part of my plan, but I like that.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
I like that spelling out loud here, so like bees
and like pain to that the girl from Girl.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
I mean I would watch that.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Yeah, I would watch you die from a beasting.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Or three or four letter words only like I feel
like there would have to be a shorter anything.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Yeah, but if you have four syllables and miss it,
that's like, oh that was tough. If they give you
a three letter word and you miss it, I don't
know if you're coming back from that. Oh well, we
could talk forever. I could watch it through half of
a beam and then the other half of her face
lit for another half hour. But y'all have things to
(24:14):
do in Nashville, including going to try out for the
voice obviously, So thank you so much for spending some
time with us.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
I look forward to being on your show. It's gonna
be a blast.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
We said, we think about it.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
I'm gonna no, I'm manifesting it is what's happening. I'm
manifesting it.

Welcome to Good Game with Sarah Spain, where we're wondering
who decided that selling discounted mattresses was a good way
to celebrate George Washington's birthday. It's Monday, February seventeenth, and
on today's show, we're running it back to my conversation
from October with Hooper, Sidney Colson, and Teresa Plaisance, aka
the faces of the League. I caught up with them
about playing in Athletes Unlimited, how to up the level
(00:21):
of launch, and whether it's possible for a prank to
go too far.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Since then, the duo has returned to Nashville for.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
The start of AU basketball season four, which runs through
early March. Also, in one of the biggest surprises of
free agency, Sid has a.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
New WNBA team.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Earlier this month, she signed a one year contract with
the Indiana Fever after spending the last three seasons with
the Las Vegas ass Wild stuff. Anyway, this interview was unhinged,
It was delightful. There was definitely some shade thrown. You
can hear for yourself my conversation with Sid and TPS
coming your way right after this. All right, it's time
(01:00):
for another group chat. Sure, to be the most unhinged yet.
It's where we take the tea from the text to
the airwaves. And so far we have two guests that
are watching television, ordering grub Hub and staring directly into
the sun.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Should be a good one. She's a guard for the.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Las Vegas Aces at a two time WNBA champion, a
ten year wnbavet. She's also played for the Liberty Links
Sky and Stars, RIP Stars and abroad in Poland and Israel.
Sholl return for the upcoming season of Athletes Unlimited Basketball.
Helped Texas A and M to its first national title
last month, debuted her signature sneaker.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
She was won half of the Riots.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Is slee funny sit in TP show on Foubu and
within hours of Kathy Engelbert rock in that New York
Skyline dress of the WNBA Finals, she went to a
store and found one for a photo op.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
It's the face of the league, Sidney Coleson. What's up,
sid What's wow?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
What an intro?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:45):
And anyways it was door dash and this is a
ring light at the sun.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Okay, perfect perfect.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Joining her a WNBA champion with the Las Vegas Aces
at twenty twenty two, also returning for the upcoming season
of au basketball in the WNBA shows, most recently with
the Seattle Storm in twenty twenty three. She's also played
for the Wing, Sun, Mystics, Aces and Shock Rip Shock
and a Broad in Turkey, China and Israel. She's an
LSU alum, the mother of Yamantha, the other half of
the Riot Isley Funny SID and TP Show and Fubu.
(02:10):
It's the Face of the League. Teresa plays on AKA TP.
What's up TP?
Speaker 4 (02:15):
How are we doing today? I just have to spend
time with sind so you already know how my day's going.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, lots of laughs and occasionally some side punches.
I'm assuming this is a big get for our show.
Both faces of the league, multiple leagues, really that you're
the faces of I want to start with the w NBA, though,
since we just put a bow on that season and
said I want to start with you. What was the
scene like for the Aces in the locker room after
elimination this year because you made that bid for a threepeat,
(02:41):
couldn't quite go the distance. So much to be excited
and proud of, but still hurts. What was it like
in locker room.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
Well, it hurts more when you like that. I was
fine until that. Yeah, I think it was. I send
this to a couple of people. I think it was
kind of like, not super surprising because we hadn't played
like the team that most people were used to suc
seeing us play like the last two seasons.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
So I think it was.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
We have been foreshadowing it all season because we just
couldn't get it right consistently enough, and a lot of
teams were playing several teams were just playing better throughout
the course of the season and definitely better once playoff
time hit. And so I think we just realized once
the season ended, like we just got work to do
in the offseason, like we need to reset, refocus, come
(03:33):
back with a different motivation and you know, try to.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Get There's a lot of emotion from Asia Wilson this year,
particularly when she got her MVP honors, and she said
that you molded her into the leader she is and
that she appreciated you speaking up for her and being
a voice for her when she sometimes didn't feel hurt.
Can you tell us about your mentorship role there?
Speaker 3 (03:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
I guess I wouldn't even call it like mentorship. But
it was just our friendship, not just happened to be
older than her. But but yeah, I mean since I
met Asia, I just felt like she was a really
good person. It was just crazy to see, Like everybody
talks about it a lot about her being like the
most humble superstar, but it's not. It's not just like
(04:14):
lip service. She really is one of the most talented
and humble people. I mean, like that should be an expectation,
I feel like for people, but it's not. It's not
what we come across, especially not in athletes. So I
don't know, I just gravitated toward her because of that
part of her, not even the basketball. Just she's a
solid person and so you know, she's always been kind
(04:35):
of like I'm gonna sit back and let other people
lead vocally. She was always doing it physically, but I
would always just you know, trying to be getting her
to speak up more and speak up more, like.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
For herself too, especially when you're that person on the team.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
You don't have to be mean or demonstrative, but people
need to be reminded sometimes like this is my this
is my shit, and I think getting yeah, so I'm
like comes to the time out like.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
I need the ball.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Yeah, so when she wouldn't say, I'm saying it to
everybody like for her.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
In my eyes.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
So yeah, it was just like a friendship that just
turned into meet on a rub. The kind of leader
out would be on to her superstar exactly.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Uh TP, you got waved by the storm in May
of last year. We've seen a lot of W players
spend some time away from the league and they get
back in with the team. Is that your goal to
get back in the W when you look ahead to
next W season.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
I think that is definitely an opportunity for me to
try to pursue. I love the W. I've played my
entire career on. I guess you've named like half the
teams at this point both of us. Every single team
was named, So it is something that I'm looking forward
to doing in this upcoming season. Also with the expansion team,
(05:50):
there's more opportunity there because as we know, this is
one of the hardest leagues to make and to maintain
a career in. So it would be extremely, uh wonderful
opportunity to be able to step back foot in the
W and have one more go at it.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
What have you been up to the last year.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Oh, what haven't I've been up to. I've been doing
a lot of family stuff. I've been training, I've been
I almost took a job overseas. I did actually go,
got stranded in Greece halfway to Israel, and then just
turned it on back around. All my flights to Israel
kept getting canceled or delayed indefinitely, which I guess therefore
(06:29):
meaning canceled. Yeah, but I wasnt stranded in Greece, which
wasn't like the worst place to be straded for no,
five days and it was it was nice. Then the
war got a little too intense. So you know what,
I'm going to go to a place where I have
two dogs that loved me and oh I have been
going to so my dad and I have this nineteen
(06:51):
sixty five bus stang and we've been Her name is Sally. Yeah,
we've been in Sally in the Karsha. She is pretty
love that Sally much. Yes.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Wait, so two dogs, I really I feel like the
one dog erasure and your intro I apologize for that.
Can you tell us other than Yamantha who you are
the mother of?
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Yeah, Yamantha, Yeah, Yams. But Yamantha for long and then
Yams's older brother's name is Chip. He's a champion eleven
year old cheweeny okay, Oh, I got him when I
was in college. We lost out the tournament and those
dog popped up on my Instagram page, and like any
college student would do, made the terrible decision to have responsibility.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
So I got him at that point, and he loves
me and he can't stand Yamantha crazy.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Yeah, good dynamic.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
You mentioned twelve more players for the Valkyries next year
than twenty four more in twenty six.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
With Portland and Toronto getting going.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
How do you see expansion affecting play quality and league growth?
Speaker 4 (07:51):
I think that you know, for years and years we've
been asking for expansion, asking for expansion because there's been
quite a few instances where people have not made a
team because of something outside of what they're capable of
doing on court or for that team. It's either a
money issue, a numbers issue, what have you. But you
(08:12):
have really talented athletes getting cut and not being able
to maintain their job in the w due to these issues.
So I think having an expansion team is really important.
With that we have these teams that have multiple Olympians,
multiple superstars, So you would have to think with more
money on the table with these expansion teams, you're gonna
see a lot more movement and free agency. We're gonna
(08:32):
shuffle the cards a little bit and see where they
may fall with these expansion teams, and I think it's
going to create some new excitement around the league. Also,
like women's sports are hot right now, this is the
time to get in and get active. And I think
that the markets that we chose to expand in have
always showed an appreciation for women's sports, and I think
this is just like the cherry on top.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
We got to take a quick break. More from SIT
and TP right after this said, when you look back
at this twenty twenty four season, incredible growth and popularity,
record attendance, merch sales, ratings, all the good stuff, but
also a lot of out of bounds commentary, a lot
(09:13):
of toxicity online, new fans, new media parachuting in sometimes
deleterious effect.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
How would you sum up your.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Experience as a player, balancing both sides of what went
on this year.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
Well, I think for a lot of it, I was
seeing it from the outside. I think there are certain
players who are going to have a way different perspective
because they were involved in either receiving some of the
racism and misogyny whatever it may have been. And Yeah,
for me, I think that we have an understanding that
the wider your fan base grows, you are going to
(09:47):
have people who come and are not necessarily in it
because they love when it's basketball. They might love a person,
or they might just love the fact that this thing
is growing in popularity and they're trolling. Now, it's like
it's gonna come with the territory of getting bigger, you
really can't run from it. I think that's with any
any sport, any like big celebrity trolls are gonna be there.
(10:11):
But I think it's really important that our leadership in
the w and our players speak up for one another
and that we make it clear that like, we don't
stand for certain stuff. Now what people do after that point,
you can't control what people do, but I let it
be known that, like, you know, like this is unnecessary.
It's not a lot of the time, it's not even funny. Honestly,
(10:34):
some of the stuff I can I could job.
Speaker 6 (10:35):
With it, yeah, you know, but like a lot of
the stuff is just like really redundant, very very boring,
and so it was it was very cool to see
the growth.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
Want It's great to see so many people interested in
the w And even if they came for Angel Caitlin Cameron,
like the rookie class Rakiya, they got to see other players,
I think, and that's a good thing. And so hopefully
that keeps growing and then you know, slowly the losers
just start to like weed themselves out.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
One would hope. Yeah, uh, let's talk athletes.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Unlimited basketball upcoming twenty twenty five season is in Nashville.
Either of you have any music skills that we're going
to see you show off on Broadway?
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Yeah, we're actually taking our callum.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
So no, then.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
That was just a little taste of what's yet to come.
We haven't had time to prepare. We had to go
get a little bit of outde though, right I would.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Yeah what she did?
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Yeah, No, but you tried hard, like you went for
it though. The courage that you had to like try
to go for that was incredible though, so much respect
for you said.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
The best response to either taking your clothes off or
trying to perform is when someone says it was courageous.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Uh so, congrats to that.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
You didn't have the taking your clothes off part, because
that would have been.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
That did not happen.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
For Yeah, for those listings that did not happen. It's
just those are two things that you would prefer a
different response to than courageous.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Do we have cowboy boots already?
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Are we? Do?
Speaker 2 (12:17):
We at least have the fits.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
I'll be going get fitted for some in the future.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Okay, Sid, you're part of the Athletes Unlimited executive Committee
who served as a chairperson from twenty twenty two to
twenty three.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Can you tell us how A used.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Different than other leagues, not just with the scoring, but
also like player involvement and equity.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
Yeah, I think Athletes Unlimited like mine is.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
My desire to be a part of it.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
When it first came about was because Natasha Cloud like
brought it to a few W players when they were
thinking about starting a women's league or a basketball league,
and I was out of the W at that point,
and I was like, Okay, well, like I still want
to play competitively. This being player led this really cool
and plus I would love to be a part of
(13:04):
like building something with other players, and so I just
liked I love the model.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
I love the scoring.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
System, how it's different, the leader board, and how you
switch teams every week. It's the first player led pro
league like outside of the W and the off season.
So they had a proven concept and a proven model
like with their other sports solftwall, lacrosse, volleyball. So for me,
it wasn't a huge risk. It was like they know
what they're doing. We would just be coming on and
(13:33):
adding our insight into what we know about the W
and what we know about overseas basketball and like combining
all that to help them continue to build this beyond
when we're the player executive Committee and so we have
steak in the company, which is really awesome, Like even
if you just played one year, you still have stake.
And so there are a lot of things about this
(13:55):
that John Patrick Coroff and Jonathan Soros they created this
to really be something that players can be proud of
and that you can take part in. And it's fun.
All the players that come here, they have a great time.
It's it's gone from six weeks to five weeks. But
being in Nashville had a lot of people excited too,
So we're happy, which we're here right now. Actually we're
(14:15):
about to leave when we get off with you and
go to just like a press conference a panel to
get people excited in the city about this. So, yeah,
it's cool. I'm glad that I've been a part of
it these last these.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
First four years. But hopefully it just continues to grow.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Yeah, and what keeps bringing you back, especially when you
win two titles with the Aces, you know, instead of
going abroad or resting, why do you keep coming back
to AU.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
I'm older, I've been over the overseas lifestyle for a
long time.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
I was never making enough money for it to make
sense to me.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
I'm like, let me work on things that I'm gonna
do when basketball is done, So they're coaching like I
coached at Rice for two years, or like work on
just like staying here and taking acting classes, Like, let
me just do something our rather lose money right now
and hopefully get it back down the line, keep going
and be knowing with insane coaches.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Yeah, the opportunity cast, it just didn't make sense.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Yeah, TP, you're the daughter of a coach, and in
a lot of ways that AU the players are the
coaches too. So should other players consider that as a
bonus when drafting teams each week and adding you that
you basically, you know, you get to bring all the
skills that you grew up with.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Yeah, I think it's just a bonus to spend time
with me generally, But I mean with all these other additives,
I would say that my mom's coaching experience. I've been
around the game of basketball since I literally had a
basketball in my Like, c what's the plastic crib that
they put babies in? That kind of sounds like inhumane,
but you know when you're born, they like put you
(15:47):
in that like plastic clear crib.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Yeah, sure, getting a visual Yeah yeah, in the hospital.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Yeah yeah, No, I had a basketball in there, so
like same. Yeah. So ever since then, like bastball has
been in my blood. I love like seeing the game.
I love like reading the game. Like I was talking
about picking rolls as like a six year old, which
is I would say, common.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Yeah, you were five foot eight though right at six?
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Part of why cowering? Yeah, cowering over everyone beside my brother.
That man is way too big?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Wait? Is your mom named do be?
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Like my hunches that it's based on the the show
that had the bee that taught you how right?
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Okay, I'm writing.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Yes, I'm writing a book, and that literally came up
in the book.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
This getting it or somebody writing it for you?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
No, no, I'm writing it about someone else. That's how
talented a writer. I'm I'm the one that they come to.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
I know. Can you believe it?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Anyway, there's a whole section on that show and the Doobies,
and I was like, that's got to be where the
name comes from.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
I love that is.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
That's so great.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
You guys are always full of jokes, your pranksters. Obviously,
I need a story of when you went too far,
either with a teammate or like a moment where a
coach wanted to keep serious.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
Oh I have a go one, go for it. Okay.
So this was one of the first days of practice
and we're in unlb's gym and we're going over like
some film about one of our like preseason games or
something like that, and like everybody's in these like folding chairs,
like surrounded by this rolling TV. And Sydney's like placed
(17:23):
on the floor like like the small people that can
like contort themselves into sitting. However, they want to sit
wasn't in the front row, and so we're watching this
clip and the clip is like the Paul gets skipped
up to Sydney and it gets paused, and so Becky's like,
where's Sydney, Where's Sydney, and like you just see this
(17:44):
hand in the front like get raised and she's like
here literally in that voice, and Becky was like, sid
what's your inn one name.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
And city was like a little poop.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Like plays the clip. Sidney took like three more dribbles
and like turned it over. I know you did.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
She was like, you could have passed it before you
took all these dribbles. Just pass it next time. But
Sidney thought she was about to get like an ant
one compliment. Yeah, I was just telling her to pass
the ball. Yeah, that was That didn't answer her question though.
That was just a funny story too far, So I
(18:29):
went too far.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Yeah, what about with like our favorite celebrity couple of
Postra Bam that's what we call Asia and Bam. I
know nothing about that, mm hmmm, not based on your tweets.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
I'll just honestly, I'll just get in there and say
so Sidney likes to stir the pot. I don't know
if you've seen her other tweets where there's evidence that
she's a postar.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Yeah, people say I went too far with the dress.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
No, not far enough. Should have worn it.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
Right, Yes, I'm thinking about I might still But when
did we go too far? Probably like in practice, Like
when when the coaches got there in twenty twenty two,
they weren't used.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
To our humor, like they didn't know us.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
They're coming from the NBA, where I guess it's more
classy or something.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Sure, they said we're way more raunchy.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
Than them, So like we would just Becky could say anything.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
She's like, yo, just like next time, just penetrate dropping in.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
The hole, like get up, and we're like, you know,
like we're like giggling her, like that's what she said?
Or man, what was the play that we had and
we wanted to name it? I want to say Coucie
or something.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
Like yeah, are.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Yeah, you're allowed to say anything?
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Yeah, Okay, we got a problem.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Are we getting a season two of this show? Sid
in TP?
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (19:56):
We sure hope, So we're gonna say yes, we're just
gonna infested. Okay, there's there's talks about it. There's interest
in it, and we obviously had such a great time
doing season one that we want to we're pushing really
harder season two, and a lot of people are pushing
really harder season two. So why do you want to
be on?
Speaker 2 (20:13):
I do?
Speaker 4 (20:14):
I want?
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Thousand percent want to be on?
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Okay, what's your elevator pitch?
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Yeah, what's your elevator pitch? Don't beg it's okay.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
So actually my elevator pitch is based on like a
Ryan Reynolds show Wrexham where they have this like women's
team and they don't really know how to handle it.
I feel like there needs to be a good pitch,
Like it's a fake, fake meeting with executives explaining how
women's and men's sports are different, but actually it's just
like you keep going back and forth between being different
and the same. So you're like, well, so one thing
(20:42):
you need to do with women's sports is like make
sure it's not too gay, but also make it like
extremely gay, and then also like you need to make
sure that the women are like super feminine but also
like not feminine at all. Yeah, So basically the whole
point is like it's impossible to sell women's sports, because
like it's everything and everyone wants it to be one
thing instead of many things. I'm gonna keep working on that.
I'll bring you around like that of that pitch.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
We'll think about it. Okay, we think about it.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Perfect, perfect. Did you guys meet Ryan Reynolds and does
he smell good?
Speaker 3 (21:13):
We did it.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
We were more so we're more fincurted with like what
does Blake smell like?
Speaker 6 (21:18):
Fair?
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Fair? Fair fair?
Speaker 2 (21:19):
I figured as much.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
I'll let you know if I meet her, and then
you guys let me know if you mean okay, perfect, perfect.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
We have to take another quick break.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
The conclusion of my conversation with Sitting TP is right
after this. Okay, TP, speed round. First, who's funnier?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Your said?
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Wow? I know, but I thought you were so funny.
You remember wanna have had that breakthrough one day during
the show. It's like, you're actually funny?
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Sure?
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Think?
Speaker 3 (21:50):
So we have a show to you.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Who's more likely to break during a scene? TP? Yeah,
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
I don't know that because we've had our times where
like the other one just does something that's so uncalculated
that you can't even predict the ridiculousness. So I feel
like we both had I feel like it's fifty to fifty.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Who's the dream Cameo on the show?
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (22:15):
For me, I would be the Obama's Oh said what
about you? Yeah, I really want them on the show.
I feel like they have such a great personality, so
funny and they are They're super polished with like a
playful spirit about them. So we need more of that
in our lives.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Personally, I agree said dream Cameo.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Oh my gosh, I'm trying to think.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
I'm trying to think actors because I feel like it
would be like Quinca.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Or Ray Oh.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Yeah, like people with that kind of humor. I think, yeah,
that'd be awesome. Do you have an idea that didn't
work out or end up making the show?
Speaker 5 (22:55):
Well, when we came up with the show, like when
we didn't know that it was going to be a show,
we thought we were just doing stuff. We came up
with like a long list of things that we thought
would be fun or funny to do. And she just
mentioned one yesterday and it was I was like, Oh,
we should go to like a be sanctuary and we're
(23:15):
like the bee keeper suit, but we have to simultaneously
be like doing a spelling bee and like you have
to really be focused. And somebody was like, oh, so
do you get stung if you get the word? You know,
wasn't initially part of my plan, but I like that.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
I like that spelling out loud here, so like bees
and like pain to that the girl from Girl.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
I mean I would watch that.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Yeah, I would watch you die from a beasting.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Or three or four letter words only like I feel
like there would have to be a shorter anything.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Yeah, but if you have four syllables and miss it,
that's like, oh that was tough. If they give you
a three letter word and you miss it, I don't
know if you're coming back from that. Oh well, we
could talk forever. I could watch it through half of
a beam and then the other half of her face
lit for another half hour. But y'all have things to
(24:14):
do in Nashville, including going to try out for the
voice obviously, So thank you so much for spending some
time with us.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
I look forward to being on your show. It's gonna
be a blast.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
We said, we think about it.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
I'm gonna no, I'm manifesting it is what's happening. I'm
manifesting it.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
