Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Good Game with Sarah Spain, where we're warning
those of you that like to listen to the show
with kids in the car. Today's show is not meant
for little one's ears or safe for work for that matter.
It's Friday, December fifth, and on today's show, we welcome
back comedians and podcast hosts Er fight Master and Aaron
Foley for our second annual Unrivaled Draft. We put all

(00:21):
eight unrivaled teams through a rigorous, highly scientific grading process
using only the most important categories name logo, ability to
shoulder carry, and eventually spit out the team we'll root
for this season. Want to play along and find out
which team is MFY made for you, Grab a pen
and a big piece of paper, find a quiet place
to sit down where your cackles won't disrupt others, and

(00:43):
settle in for an utterly hilarious, completely unhinged experience. Plus
Rodman versus the NWSL Skips and stones may break your bones,
and this team is all tops. It's all coming up
right after this welcome back slices.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
Happy Friday. Here's what you need to know today.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Let's start in the NWSL and breaking Trinity Rodman News
the NWSL Players Association is filed a grievance with the
league on behalf of Rodman, claiming the league violated at
least five different sections of the current collective Bargaining Agreement
by vetoing a proposed multimillion dollar deal between Rodman and
the Spirit that would have kept her in DC for
four more years, writes friend of the show Meglenahan for

(01:28):
The Athletic Quote. According to the nwslpa's complaint, Rodman agreed
to the spirit proposed terms which would have backloaded compensation
into the final two years of the deal in twenty
twenty eight and twenty twenty nine, when the salary cap
would reach more than four million dollars per team. The
NWSL's current media rights deal is set to expire in
twenty twenty seven, and any new deals in twenty twenty

(01:49):
eight may increase revenue for the league and impact the
league's salary cap. The PA grievance states that backloading compensation
is within the CBA and the NWSL's competition rules. The
document states that the NWSL cited the spirit of the
league's competition rules as a reason to reject the contract
offer agreed to by both the spirit and Rodman. It
also states that the NWSL accused Rodman of quote unquote

(02:11):
salary CAP's circumvention. The grievance's main argument on Rodman's behalf
is that by rejecting the proposed contract, the NWSL engaged
in a flagrant violation of Rodman's free agency rights end quote.
We'll link to Meg's whole story for you to read
and will keep you updated as the reporting continues. More
Soccer BAFC has announced Emma Coates as its new head coach.

(02:33):
Coates comes to the US from across the Pond, where
she led England's women's under twenty three team, a squad
that went unbeaten in their twenty twenty three to twenty
four European League campaign. More than twenty five players reached
the senior England squad during Cote's tenure. Still more, soccer
forward Ali Schlegel, who recently announced her departure from the
Chicago Color Neutral Stars, has agreed to a deal with

(02:53):
the North Carolina Courage through twenty twenty eight, and Gotham
FC has declined the twenty twenty six option on four
Ellis Stevens lots. More on WSL roster updates to come
next week to the College Cup, the NCAA Soccer Tournament
Final four at CPKC Stadium in Kansas City. At six
pm Eastern tonight, Number two TCU takes on number three

(03:14):
Florida State. Then at eight forty five pm Eastern, Number
one Stanford faces number two Duke. The championship game will
be played on Monday to vebs. The NCAA Volleyball Tournament
continues today with more first round matches, including top ranked
Nebraska facing Long Island University, number one seed Texas taken
on Florida A and M, and number one seed Pittsburgh
battling UMBC. We'll link to the full schedule in the

(03:36):
show notes. Oh and I definitely said on yesterday's show
that Nebraska's title run was starting Thursday. It actually starts
tonight eight pm Eastern. Whoops a Daisy to curling. Shout
out to slice Janet A who let us know that
the US women's curling team, led by skip Tabitha Peterson,
is competing in an Olympic qualifier in Kelowna, BC beginning today.

(03:56):
Team Peterson will need to finish in the top two
this weekend to qualify for the Milan Courtina Games.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
Fun fact, both Tabitha.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
And her sister and teammate Tara welcomed babies in twenty
twenty four, so they had two new cheerleaders rinkside for
their second straight US Olympic Team Trials win last month.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Lots of college.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Troops this weekend, including nine of the country's top ten
teams in action on Sunday, and lots of p WHL
action too, But we had a big show to get too,
so we're gonna link to those schedules in the show
notes and keep it moving.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
We got to take a quick break when we come back.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Cradle me like a baby. It's unrivaled draft time.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Joining us once again on the show a pair of comedians, Troublemakers,
women's sports fans and tall Kings. First, they're an actor
known for work on Gray's Anatomy and tro one of
three co hosts of the hilarious podcast Jocular, and a musician.
Last year, they released their debut EP Violence through their
solo music project fight Master. They want to be power
Slap by the Everglades and you'll have to listen to
Jocular to understand you Siking in grades, it's er fight Master,

(05:01):
welcome back.

Speaker 4 (05:02):
Hey everybody, how are you?

Speaker 1 (05:05):
And she's a comedy writer's stand up comedian, and the
host of the Fabulous hr Lights women's sports podcast. Her
writing credits include that ninety show One Day at a
Time in the sb Awards. She hard launched a situationship
with Ellie the Elephant in August, and she's suffering from
ParaMed apausal personal summer. Somebody buy her a fucking ice
bath for her flaming feet. It's Aaron Fowley, Welcome back.

Speaker 5 (05:25):
That was the greatest intro ever by your feet today
Currently they are currently and forever on fire.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Oh good, good to know what to look forward to.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Oh yeah, do y'all have any idea what we're doing today?

Speaker 2 (05:37):
The roughest sort of the roughest idea. Will you follow
me into the dark?

Speaker 4 (05:41):
Of course?

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Okay, that's why I'm always, of course great.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
Today is the big day Unrivaled Team draft the sequel
fifty percent more categories, sixty percent more trash talking, one
hundred percent more unhinged than last year. So slices, if
you haven't picked her Unrivaled squad, I need you to
grab a pen, a big piece of paper, a small
piece of paper and play along with us, because by

(06:05):
the end of the show, your unrivaled squad will be revealed. Now,
if you already have a squad or you're carrying over
allegiances from last year, no worries. This exercise is still
gonna help you get familiar with all the new teams
and players ahead of season two. And this means if
you order soon, the team Jersey might arrive in time
for the end.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Of the season because they're out ahead of things this year.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
So you know, fingers crossed and there's some actually really
sick merch and I think it might be worth the wait.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
So there's that. Okay, So this is how it's gonna work.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
Grab your pen, grab a big piece of paper, like
eight and a half by eleven would be best. You're
gonna need some room and you can hit pause for
a second if you have to run into the other
room to grab that. Okay, So take the big page
and draw two vertical lines equidistant from the edges. So
the page is three even columns top to bottom. Two lines.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
I already messed up. That's so crazy.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Somebody bring me a new paper and seven pens.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Yeah, I was gonna say maybe have eleven pieces of paper.
So if your just spatial awareness is bad, I need
a ruler, help protractor.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Remember those?

Speaker 6 (07:15):
Oh god? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (07:16):
Okay, So you should have a page with two lines
top to bottom, three even columns. Now you're gonna add
three horizontal lines, so those should be also equidistant. So
you've got four sections from top to bottom, three columns.

(07:37):
So you should have roughly twelve boxes of about the
same size on your page at this point.

Speaker 4 (07:42):
Oh good, roughly.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
Now it's not if it's not perfect, no worse.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
But essentially you should have three boxes, three boxes under that,
three boxes under that, three boxes under that.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
How are you feeling?

Speaker 6 (07:53):
Thank god? I wasn't.

Speaker 5 (07:54):
I didn't like keep going with man this basically, yeah,
got it?

Speaker 2 (08:00):
Sure you went length wise? That'll do.

Speaker 4 (08:04):
That'll do?

Speaker 2 (08:05):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Now, in every one of the top boxes, not the
bottom row, but in the first three rows, just write
the numbers one through eight down the box on the
left hand side.

Speaker 6 (08:18):
So you're gonna why did I go with three whole
punch paper?

Speaker 2 (08:21):
I'm an idiot.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
We all make mistakes. So you're just writing one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight top to bottom on the left hand side of
your boxes. A lot of box talk on the shore
already feels like a jocular episode.

Speaker 4 (08:39):
Thank you, you're good, Sarah. You have just showed it out.
I just am not.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
I can't do this really okay, like this.

Speaker 4 (08:47):
Okay, I did this now? Oh and each one of them? Okay, cool? Obviously, yep,
thank you.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
Wait in every box except for the bottom row of three,
leave those Okay.

Speaker 6 (09:00):
My virgo brain already wants like seven other tries.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
And if you need some time, feel free to hit
pause and finish labeling the numbers on the left hand
side of all the boxes in the top three rows.
Leave the bottom row blank. Okay, So now every box
except the bottom three should have those numbers going down
the left hand side. Each of these boxes is going
to be a category, and we're going to rank the

(09:24):
unrivaled teams one through eight for that category. So We're
going to place a team name in each slot, and
I'll explain how the math adds up in the end.
For now, we're just going to start with category one
and kind of learn as we go here. This one
is very easy. We are going to rank the teams
only based.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
On the name.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
How do you feel about the name of the team,
and you're going to say, my favorite team name is,
for instance, Phantom, that would go in number one. My
next favorite team is Lunar Owls that would go in two,
and so on down the line. The team names are.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
Breeze Basketball Club, Hive Basketball.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Club, Laces BC, Lunar Owls BC, Missed BC, Phantom BC, ROSEBC,
and Vinyl BC. Again, do not let anything else about
the team affect your opinion. This is just the name.
And again you can hit pause now while you fill
out your names. How are you feeling? You gotta make

(10:37):
some executive decisions. It's hard. And then again for some
of them, it's not like Missed. It sounds like a
douche brand.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
I'm not.

Speaker 6 (10:45):
That's number eight.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
I'm gonna choose that that is my number.

Speaker 4 (10:48):
That was my seven.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
Actually, oh wow, okay, so we're all agreed that mist
is not a name for a women's sporting team in
horror film.

Speaker 6 (10:56):
It doesn't hit. Yeah, it's like Oregon Coast.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
Any other things that stood out to you about these names?

Speaker 6 (11:04):
I went with Hive.

Speaker 5 (11:05):
I'm me tally digging the hive of it all. The
logo Wait wait, sorry, sorry, sorry.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
You've already failed in your mission, just about the name.

Speaker 6 (11:15):
It's nice to see you, guys. I'm gonna love up.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
I also had Hive as my number one. I don't
know why.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
It just there's you know, there's a lot of negative
things associated with hive mind, but also as in terms
of like a team, just like being a part of
the hive in the hive queen bee bitch, I just
like the vibes.

Speaker 4 (11:33):
It's Phantom for me.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
Phantom is number three for me. Phantom is a great name.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Yeah, but the only thing I have a problem with
is I like and Hive is against this, I guess.
But I like plural team names because I never know
what to do when it's like a feeling or a
color or something where I don't know whether to say
they or it's you know what I mean, let's.

Speaker 6 (11:55):
Go hives, let's go high five.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Or like rose? Yeah are they the roses?

Speaker 1 (12:01):
Are? They just also to just traditionally feminine for me,
so that I was down in six.

Speaker 5 (12:06):
Oh yeah, I don't know. Rose is just it's still
bothering me. Just the mist is the mist and the
rose are still.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
And I also thought breeze again sounded like something I
would put on a stinky vagina.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
So that was number seven.

Speaker 4 (12:18):
I understand Breeze.

Speaker 5 (12:19):
Yeah, Breeze went into miss yeah just in the in
a Yeah, I guess Breeze stank vagina, wormhole, Breeze.

Speaker 4 (12:25):
Missed Rose. All of them unpleasant to me.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
Okay, I'm glad we all agree.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
Yeah, okay, Well let's see if we agree on the
next category, which is about the colors and logo. Again,
the name is not a part of this. The players,
anything else about it is unrelated. The only thing we
care about for this category is the logos of these teams.

Speaker 4 (12:45):
And that it's going to go in there.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
And it's going to go in the box to the
right of the one you just wrote in, So it
should be the top middle quadrant is where you're putting
your basically branding colors and logo. All right, well we're
finishing this up. I'm gonna start talking through some of mine.

(13:08):
I love an animal, but the lunar owls it just
doesn't hit for me. I don't like the colors and
it's just a weird owl and why is it a lunar?
And I think it's cute that the basketball is its belly,
but it just feels unfinished to me, like they could
have taken.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
One more, one more turn on that one.

Speaker 4 (13:24):
I think it's too drink coated for me.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
Oh fair, that's fair.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
I also I am obsessed with Hive because the bees
butt is a basketball.

Speaker 5 (13:35):
That's number one for me. When I saw the bees
asshole is a basketball, I mean.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
I think it's just its whole, but its asshole might
be another smaller basketball.

Speaker 6 (13:43):
I you know, asshole. I just refer to this.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
Who is your whole? Asshole? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (13:49):
Just like when I you know, just just a very large.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
Have you ever seen someone with a really short crack?
Because I hate it so much.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
I have a friend with a short and it is
off putting in a way that like I don't want
her to put pants on in front of me because
it's so low.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
I'm like, where do you how do your cheeks open?
You know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (14:11):
I've never seen one to demonstrate.

Speaker 6 (14:14):
Could you please demonstrate how you're just short?

Speaker 1 (14:17):
Crack is a problem? Phantom is still my number one.
I love that be. But I've never in my life
seen a team with a ghost or any sort of
you know, apparitional I guess like the Washington Wizards, but
that that Wizard didn't. It's not yeah, but Phantom is
genuinely spooky.

Speaker 4 (14:35):
Phantom's actually cool.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
I just don't get basketball vibes.

Speaker 5 (14:38):
So I put that six, and then I went with
Breeze because for two because it's given me like so
cal basketball vibes, which I love, and a couple of
players around.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Because that's the most basic logo I've ever seen. Oh,
palm trees.

Speaker 5 (14:53):
And I'm into it. I'm into a court and some
palm trees. I just was like, yeah, I'm gonna have
a tequila sunrise and watch basketball for seven hours.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
That was.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
That was also that you're in California, so you made
it California, even though Unrivaled is in Miami, which also
has I.

Speaker 6 (15:09):
Made it California. Yeah, but we have the original transplanted
palm trees.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
And I would much rather be in California than Florida
almost anytime. So you are what about laces, because I
think laces is pretty rad.

Speaker 7 (15:20):
I actually I think I I think I've made an
error here. I want to put laces where I put
vinyl because I actually hate the Vinyl one and I
don't know why.

Speaker 4 (15:31):
It was so high. So Las's is actually my third
and Vinyl is my sixth Yeah, Vinyl.

Speaker 3 (15:36):
I like the concept. They just didn't pull it off.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
And for what, I'm sorry? Why?

Speaker 2 (15:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (15:41):
Why is that mean?

Speaker 1 (15:42):
Are you a Vinyl basketball team? Are you like making
a retro comeback but ultimately.

Speaker 4 (15:47):
Old you can't handle a scratch?

Speaker 2 (15:49):
I put missed last again. But that's what I like.
The logo. I love as.

Speaker 4 (15:55):
There's something really santage I'm not.

Speaker 6 (15:58):
I don't dig any non basket ball stuff.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
Yeah, like a wintry like like I want to live
in it.

Speaker 5 (16:03):
Yes, yeah, yes, but it doesn't mean like, hey, look
at the missed logo, grab a basketball.

Speaker 3 (16:09):
It's like the colors are sweet.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
All right, So we're we've already lost our alignment in
many ways. But that's the point of this exercise because
it needs to speak to you. Okay, So this one's
a little bit tougher, and we'll need to be expeditious
with our choices. But we need to do this based
on players, and you don't have to voice if you
have any sort of deal breakers, because there's someone on

(16:33):
the roster that you're like, absolutely cannot root for them,
but that obviously will factor into your rankings.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
Here is do they have a player.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
You really love to watch and so you're going to
want to root for them, or do they have a
player you despise and could not see yourself rooting for.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
I'm going to run down quickly the players on each team.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
So Breeze is Erry McDonald, Kate Martin, Cameron Brink, Dominique Malanga,
Rakia Jackson, Page Beckers, and that's it.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
That's the Breeze team.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
The features Monique Billings, Sanaiyah Rivers, Natisha Heideman, Azie Magnagore,
Sonya Citron and Kelsey Mitchell.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
The Laces are Jackie.

Speaker 1 (17:12):
Young, Alyssa Thomas nas Hillman, Mattie Siegrist, Jordan Canada and
Britney Sykes. The lunar owls are Nafisa Collier, Aliah Edwards,
Rebecca Allen, Skuyler Diggins, Marina Maybury and Rachel Bannam. The
Mist presumably with the freshest boxes in the league, Brianna Stewart,

(17:34):
Arique Agunbowale, Veronica Burton, Elena Smith, Lee Uru and Ali Shagray.
Phantom Ghost Squad, Satusabeli, Natasha Cloud, Dana Evans, Aliyah Boston, Kekey,
Erie Fenn and Kelsey Plum. The Rose, Shakira, Austin, Lexi Hull, Sugar, Sutton,

(17:56):
Azare Stevens, Chelsea Gray, and Kalia Copper. This is gonna
be really hard. They really spread out all.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
My favorite and.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
The vinyl is Britney Griner, Ray Burrell, Erica Wheeler, Dereka Hanby,
Ryan Howard and Courtney Williams. I mean, they even split
up the fucking stud buds and I thought those two
were at this point basically connected via umbilical cord.

Speaker 2 (18:19):
Damn it all right, So.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
Take a moment, feel free to pause, go through those
rosters and rank the teams based on either the one
you most want to watch because of the players, or
maybe just who you don't want to hate watch and
have to root for.

Speaker 4 (18:36):
That was actually the easiest for me so far.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
Oh wow, I'm proud of you.

Speaker 6 (18:42):
Whiped through this. Done.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
Let's go give me a second, Okay, so let's talk
about it for a second. It was a really tough
decision between the top two for me, but I ended
up with the phantom me too. Yeah. I just feel
like you got this mix of talent and sad and
vibes that's really tough to top.

Speaker 5 (19:03):
Yeah, I've been a huge Dana Evans fan since Louisville, Like,
I love her and I loved in the finals, it
was just like, you know, some of the all time
Hall of Fame greats, and then Dana is like, I'm
gonna throw thirty six in in Game two.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
She did that with the Sky too.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
When the Sky won the title in twenty twenty one,
the building would go insane every time Dana Evans would
shoo from beyond the arc because it was just like
splash and then Hype in the crowd, swagsurfing with Chance
the wrapper cord side after she had shots like tiny
little hype machines.

Speaker 5 (19:31):
Yeah great Yeah, And Natasha Cloud I would like to
marry if it didn't work out with her current relationship.
I'd like to get real close to her face for
the rest of my life.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
Really, So that helped Kelsey plum Dog Dog.

Speaker 6 (19:46):
Yeah, I love this combo.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
This looks like I'm waying too much town Good.

Speaker 5 (19:51):
I went with Vinyl vinyls my team from last year.
I went with Vinyl. Second place, I went to Vinyl.
I think that combo is going to be I mean
hanby teaming up the Ryan Howard again. They were like
fourth and fifth scores for stats, I did do a
stat deep.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
Tie wow wow.

Speaker 5 (20:08):
And then e Weezy and freaking Courtney on the court
the same time. It's gonna be like people are gonna
be blowing, like they're not gonna know what hit them.

Speaker 6 (20:17):
I love that those are my top two.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
That's how I ended up with Breeze because I'm a
huge Pagebackers fan, and just Page Cameron Brinkan Kate Martin
alone is fun. But then Dominique Malonga in this setting,
we're gonna get to see some crazy skill sets from
that youngster.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
And Rakia and Airy that's a good combo too. And
then my.

Speaker 4 (20:35):
Number one was it okay, yeah, you're ready. I want
to see Cameron and Page together specifically, and then everyone
else is fantastic, but those two I really want to
see them all together.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
And then Lunar Owls was up there. I'm a huge
fee fan.

Speaker 4 (20:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
Marina Maybury, if she actually gets out on the court
this year, is so unhinged that in a three on
three setting her powers will be I think, you know,
exaggerated in terms of both trash talking, physical play and otherwise.
And then you've got Skyler Diggins in the mix who
last year was like the Queen of game winners, and
then Aliah Edwards.

Speaker 7 (21:08):
I feel like Skyler Diggens is fun to watch because
she's got like murder in her heart one PC and
I really like that. And that's why, other than the Fisia,
that's why Lunar Owls are my second team.

Speaker 1 (21:21):
Oh, we're very similar, you are in our in our feelings.

Speaker 5 (21:24):
I went seven, well, I went seven for the Owls
and eight five. I don't I mean, I mean, I
like them all. I just don't really, I don't know.
I think those combos are kind of random, and I
think there's going to be like I don't know, I mean,
I like them all, but but for various reasons, I
had them in the lower part of Yeah, they've done

(21:45):
a nice job.

Speaker 4 (21:45):
My eight was the Laces interesting Okay.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
My eight was Vinyl interestingly and now I'm already regretting it.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
But then it was like maybe missed.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
But then I was like Brianna and Arique, I can't
and Alisha great, not a chance.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
It's just too many at this one. I can't.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
Really, there's no explanation for this, Okay, so now we
should be on the second row far left, and this
one is coaches. Now, last year we didn't know much
about these coaches, and we still might not, so a
lot of the selections we made were is it.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
A woman, is she black?

Speaker 1 (22:21):
And one guy had a lengthy history of coaching at
America's Catholic College or the Catholic University of America or
something something I'd never heard of, But I just was like,
not my vibe. So we'll spin quickly through this one.
Your coach is to select from our Noel Quinn coach
of the Breeze, Raina Wacama for the Hive. We got

(22:44):
Andrew Wade for the Laces, sorry to this man. We've
got DJ Sackman returning for the Lunar Owls. We've got
Zach O'Brien for the Mist. He also owns an Irish
bar down the street. We've got Nika Hodges I made
that up for the Phantom, and we've got Nola Henry

(23:08):
for the Rose and for Vinyl. We've got t Spoon
Teresa Weatherspoon for Breezebec.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
We've got Noel Quinn.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
You remember, of course, Noel Quinn, previously of the Seattle Storm,
no longer a coach in WNBA I believe it's not
official policy, but they have banned black women from coaching
in the NBA.

Speaker 6 (23:30):
I think is Yeah, that was breaking news.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
Yeah, it's in the new CBA. I think it's one
thing they have agreed on.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
We have to hire people with NBA experience who have
never coached women, and they cannot be I think that's huge.

Speaker 4 (23:44):
Yeah, that's huge.

Speaker 5 (23:46):
Finally, who doesn't want to get like a Mike Johnson
that's been in player development?

Speaker 4 (23:52):
Oh yeah, we.

Speaker 6 (23:55):
Did film tape for for six months.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
It was with men WNBA must be good. Oh my god,
must be good.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
Also, is my favorite is the combination of only his
coach men and has never been a head coach at
any level.

Speaker 5 (24:11):
Yeah, it's like player development in film, and you're like, yeah,
why not give him a chance?

Speaker 1 (24:17):
Shoot, I started writing down the names of the people
instead of the teams that they coach for.

Speaker 6 (24:21):
Oh shit, I just did that. Whoops.

Speaker 7 (24:24):
I really am going purely. I'm going photo by photo.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
Just vibes.

Speaker 4 (24:30):
Yeah, okay, I'm just going for the bottom basedline. If
there are men are not, so.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
It's the opposite of the rest of life. The women
will start with a big head start like that.

Speaker 4 (24:43):
Here the hell are you sir?

Speaker 1 (24:45):
Okay, so I think we don't really need to break
this one down too much, but basically.

Speaker 6 (24:50):
Black women, black women, and then the yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:54):
Teresa Weatherspoon obviously, Noel Quinn obviously. And then I don't
know why, Zach O'Brien, I just held it against you
that you were a white man with an Irish name.
There was no reason for that. I'm Irish, I'm white.
I just I don't know, you just didn't give me vibes.

Speaker 4 (25:09):
So you know, wait, was that is? Is he? The
Owls are missed? Missed?

Speaker 1 (25:14):
Yeah? Yeah, Lunar Owls gets a bump up because I
remember last year that DJ Sackman had some really good
like resume points and like seemed like a guy who
like knew as shit and did a fine job last year.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
So I gave him a bump for that. Miss guy
needs to prove himself.

Speaker 5 (25:30):
I gave Andrew Wade a bump because apparently he was
on the Mystics twenty nineteen squad and that was one
of my all time favorite teams. No, but yeah, I
went with Teaspoon Vinyl obviously, Liberty Fans is ninety seven.
I had a tea spoon bobble head doll until my
cat broke in.

Speaker 6 (25:47):
Okay, is that the gayest sentence not yet up there
of all time?

Speaker 1 (25:51):
Yeah? Yeah, it's close, not yet. All right, We're moving
on to the middle box in the second row. That
is essentially like predictions of on court chemistry and play
like this is just completely guessing at which team will
be the best at basketball based solely on looking at
their roster. So feel free to pause, take a spin

(26:14):
through the rosters again and figure out who you think
is the best. And remember this is three v three,
which is somehow different than three x three but still
is three on three basketball. Neither three b three nor
three x three is three on three, but they are
all three players versus three players, So you have to
consider and remember that last year in the unrivaled One
on one Challenge, there were a lot more Unicorns and

(26:38):
bigs than anyone expected. We thought those guards would be cooking,
and ultimately the bigs did their thing. So consider that
when looking at the teams and which ones you think
will actually be the best at basketball. I feel like
Alysa Thomas could almost play one on three, Yes she could.

Speaker 5 (26:56):
She just would like look up and everybody shits their
pants other way.

Speaker 6 (26:59):
She goes right to the hope.

Speaker 7 (27:01):
There's no way I'm taking a charge, and there is
simply no way.

Speaker 6 (27:06):
And hell, oh my god, you're like, here's my spleen.

Speaker 4 (27:10):
No take the basket. Were you trying to score? Oh
my god, I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
Yeah, let me clear out some of my teammates.

Speaker 6 (27:20):
Here's twenty bucks.

Speaker 5 (27:21):
Please don't make eye contact with me throughout the entire year,
because you make me incredibly nervous when I'm on my
couch and I watch Elza Thomas.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
I get, but you'd also say the same to Natasha
Cloud for different reasons.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
You're like, I'm trying to focus on the basketball. Get
your face away from mine.

Speaker 6 (27:36):
Yes, please please, I can't. I can't relax.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
This is a hard one, all right. If we had
hours to do this, I would take my time a
little bit more. But since we're attempting to.

Speaker 4 (27:49):
I know, I'm really having to just kind of go
with my gut here.

Speaker 3 (27:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
Uh, I went with Breeze off the top really Yeah huh.

Speaker 3 (27:58):
I'm not sure, but I'm not sure if that's the
best choice.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
No, wait, hold on, I didn't go with Breeze.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
I'm kidding.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
I went with I went with lunar owls.

Speaker 4 (28:07):
We discourage you so hard. Okay, my number one is
also lunar owls.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
Yeah, lunar owls.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
Breeze was number two because I still think pagebackers in
this setting with Cam and Dom and I just pages
handles and pull up jumper from pretty much anywhere mid
range in this setting is going to be sick.

Speaker 7 (28:26):
I feel like she's going to suffer from that thing
where like people are going to go for revenge specifically,
like this is going to be like no one's going.

Speaker 4 (28:32):
To let her score.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
Really, that is I think.

Speaker 7 (28:35):
When you have like those like stars, like it's like
that Caitlyn Clark, the Caitlyn rules, the Jordan rules.

Speaker 4 (28:40):
I'd do the same thing. You're not scoring on me,
and then I thought everyone else score.

Speaker 5 (28:47):
Who was your first erin top two are Vinyl and Family.
I still think those are phantoms. My number three, but
I've got Vinyl last.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
Oh, I don't know why.

Speaker 6 (29:02):
I think.

Speaker 5 (29:03):
I still think they're like Hanby Howard. They know how
to play together. The speed of the guards. Ray Burrell
can like get down the fron.

Speaker 2 (29:11):
Always forget that.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
Ray Burrell is also like an Olympic three X y shit.

Speaker 5 (29:16):
Yeah, and then is gonna be like, hold my baby
and then walk the shit out of everybody.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
Yeah, Papa Grinder in the middle. That's tough, all right.

Speaker 1 (29:24):
I probably I probably made a grave error there that
I will pay for.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
But we got to move on, all right.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
This one is just almost straight up Vibes's social media potential. Now,
we all remember that last year we were really loving
watching the dispatches from the unrivaled headquarters down in Miami.
So this is basically just which set of teammates are
you thinking could create the best content?

Speaker 2 (29:49):
Can the stud buds do it alone?

Speaker 1 (29:51):
It's like the Jordan Pippen, Bill Belichick, Tom Brady.

Speaker 2 (29:54):
If you separate them, do they have any powers?

Speaker 1 (29:58):
What is a stud without a bud? You know that's
so true.

Speaker 6 (30:02):
We will find out.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
I like to remind everyone Snaia Rivers fit checks our content.
That is very tough to be. It's really picking up
that squad.

Speaker 4 (30:12):
I'm sorry for what I'm writing. Yeah, I really like
a lot of these folks and.

Speaker 5 (30:18):
I'm sorry, yeah, but some of them are born to sell.

Speaker 7 (30:23):
That's kind of like the athlete thing. Oh yeah, no,
I'm sorry. That's absolutely the bottom of the Yeah.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
I'd also like to remind you that last year Marina
Mabray was introduced to spices, and now she can't be
stopped in the kitchen, so we're gonna get a lot
more Chef Carina. She was gifted a full spice rack
to learn how to season her food. And assuming they
haven't broken up, she's been dating Snaia for long enough
that she should have learned a little bit more about

(30:48):
you know, spices, not putting raisins and everything.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
Et cetera.

Speaker 4 (30:52):
That's wrong with raisins.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
And we do know also that Marina Mabrey has insulted
someone's dog in the middle of the game.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
So the trash talk that goes really content.

Speaker 4 (31:01):
Yeah, like it was really hard.

Speaker 7 (31:04):
I'm taking this more seriously than I took the steps.
I'm so serious right now, I'm like, shake, my hands
are shaking.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
Really important.

Speaker 5 (31:16):
You just dumped the whole thing of water over your
head just to cool yourself down and.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
It did work.

Speaker 6 (31:22):
Is a mess right now.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
R just tried to cheat off Aaron's paper through the
zoom box.

Speaker 4 (31:28):
So what wild my god, she owes.

Speaker 5 (31:30):
Me one stop texting me. I'm trying to concentrate. These
texts are outrageous. It's like, you put your pan down,
You're a bitch.

Speaker 4 (31:39):
I'm like, what, sorry, dude, I don't know.

Speaker 7 (31:41):
I didn't think you were bitchering gonna share it. It
sucks how we were close, all right, all.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
Right, ready to move on. Any thoughts on that one.
I ended up with Phantom as the first one.

Speaker 5 (31:56):
I did hive hive an owls, yeah, hive because of
Natitia and Sanaia. I think there's going to be like
some really fun stuff going on, and then Maybury and
Diggins if they don't get into like just a brawl
yep within ten minutes.

Speaker 6 (32:12):
I don't know. I don't know why I.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
Have those very high I have the Phantom because Kelsey
Kiki's fits sa to be talking some shit Natasha Cloud,
and then Eliah Boston is starting to become a media
maven with her podcast, so I think she's like producing
the content.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
She's ready to put out her thoughts and takes.

Speaker 7 (32:32):
You know, I'm a little basic here, I did say
to Breeze, but I just think it's because Page has
a choke hold on social media. And then I have
Phantom because that's a social media that I think I'd
really like to watch.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
I had Breeze too because of Paige, like single handedly,
much like Alyssa Thomas single handedly playing the basketball page,
could single handedly handle the content side of things. Just
the TikTok dances alone are going to be real dominant there.
And last year one of the reasons I have Phantom first,
who is Phantom Ghost Squad? Last year was full of
good content and they really lean into their branding, their logo,

(33:05):
their vibes, and they immediately became a team. And I
feel like there's something about that Phantom logo that just
immediately connects you.

Speaker 4 (33:12):
So, yeah, that is cool.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
Cool, Yeah, look good about that. Okay, we got to
take a quick break more with Er and Aaron after this.
The last three categories me a little bit different.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
Now.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
If you listen to the pod Jocular, you know that
at the end of the episodes, they asked their guests
what person they would like to be power slapped by.
Power slap is allegedly a sport where you basically knock
the shit out of someone, but only slapping them, not
punching them, and so this is I presume a sexual
fantasy related to being knocked out by somebody.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
I have taken a bit of a different twist.

Speaker 1 (33:53):
There is a famous finished sport called wife carrying, So
this answer will be based on the player from each
team you would most like.

Speaker 2 (34:07):
To either carry or be carried by. I don't know
what you're into.

Speaker 1 (34:12):
Tops and bottoms, ins and outs. We all have our thing.
If you prefer to be the carrier, you're imagining this
player over your shoulder, hand on their ass, running them
down presumably a field in Finland. If you prefer to
be carried, then you are ass over their shoulder, bouncing

(34:33):
down a finish landscapelder.

Speaker 2 (34:38):
I mean, you guys clearly have some healing to do.

Speaker 1 (34:41):
If you selected cradled like a baby, but you're running
a race. It's not ergonomically sound to carry like a
baby and run.

Speaker 2 (34:54):
You gotta throw that person over your shoulder.

Speaker 6 (34:57):
There's so many different settings. I don't know if I
want to.

Speaker 4 (35:00):
Be I think I am going to be baby.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
Okay, I think I'm.

Speaker 5 (35:03):
Not gonna You're gonna feel safe, yes, yep, That's all
I ever want to do is feel safe, So I'm
going with that.

Speaker 4 (35:10):
I'm even calling this section cradled cradle.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
So this is based on one player from that team
you would either like to throw over your shoulder or
be thrown over the shoulder or cradled.

Speaker 4 (35:22):
This is easy for me, actually, I'm like almost done.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
This is where I try to reach deep inside and
figure out the parts of me that are a lesbian
and see where they show up here.

Speaker 7 (35:38):
I'm but see what I'm feeling is a ton of
just like my mommy stuff and so and even some
daddy stuff.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
I'm gonna okay, good for you.

Speaker 7 (35:47):
Wow, okay, there's okay, no one on that team I
want to hold me. Sorry, So that's gonna go right
at the bottom. That's what's going on in my brain.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
I'll tell you why I'm not a lesbian. I have
no daddy energy, just nothing.

Speaker 4 (35:58):
That's not true. You're serving daddy.

Speaker 2 (36:01):
Thank you, thank you.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
That is unfortunate and not intentional. I wrote down names again.

Speaker 4 (36:10):
I am ready to do the names next to the oh.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
Oh that's smart. Yeah, then you can remember for fantasy
time later, right, yeah, and again, feel free to pause
as you peruise these rosters and really think deeply about
who would look good and feel good over your shoulder,
and or whose shoulder might be a gentle place to
nestle while you are jostled down to finished landscape. The

(36:35):
thing is, Alyssa Thomas wouldn't drop me.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
I know that much.

Speaker 1 (36:39):
I feel very safe.

Speaker 4 (36:41):
She'd throw you at the end.

Speaker 1 (36:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (36:43):
I just literally put them third, just for it.

Speaker 1 (36:45):
Would be the other part of the Strongest Man competition.

Speaker 2 (36:48):
But instead of one of those boulders that just be
my ass.

Speaker 4 (36:51):
Yeah, you're getting tossed, brother. Everyone there is too small.

Speaker 1 (36:58):
I feel like Ali Shah Gray would just be giggling
the whole time and it'd be really, really enjoyable.

Speaker 5 (37:03):
Yeah, but you'd also get dropped. So I put them
in the c.

Speaker 2 (37:05):
No, I'm carrying, Alicia. I'm definitely.

Speaker 6 (37:08):
Oh you're carrying now.

Speaker 5 (37:09):
Sorry, I apologize. I am a dandy for a she's
too small. I'm being cradled the entire one through eight.

Speaker 4 (37:17):
I am too.

Speaker 6 (37:19):
That's my favorite new category.

Speaker 7 (37:22):
It's too hard to think about, like who would I hold?
Oh my god, Okay, I just had an epiphany.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
Yes, the question is is anyone choosing anyone other than
Natasha Cloud from Phantom?

Speaker 2 (37:36):
Yes? Oh, I thought we all must aligned.

Speaker 1 (37:39):
I thought it was impossible for anyone to want to
be carried or carry anyone other than Natasha Cloud.

Speaker 5 (37:43):
I mean, listen, obviously Natasha Cloud needs to hold me
like a baby, but the the the Kelsey Plums. You know,
she's first of all, she needs to be gay. But
sometimes you know, she's just like top Dog and maybe
she needs.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
Right in the in the black leather assassin suit that
she wore last year, she would need to wear that
for this event.

Speaker 6 (38:01):
She's so hot, stupid.

Speaker 7 (38:04):
I wasn't even thinking about Natasha, but I think that's
where you really find out who like top and bottom start.

Speaker 4 (38:09):
I want I wanted to Leah Boston. I want a
big mama carrying me. I'm a little baby, you know
what I mean. I'm going for a little baby.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
And I don't.

Speaker 7 (38:21):
I mean this as like you brother to brother, and
Cloud doesn't have any mommy energy to me, you know
what I mean, And I don't want any.

Speaker 2 (38:29):
So you're doing mommy.

Speaker 5 (38:30):
You're doing mommy versus like after you hold me, we're
gonna bang.

Speaker 4 (38:35):
No, I'm doing big mommy. I'm doing I'm fulfilling a
fantasy right here of the biggest woman on earth carrying me.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Speaker 1 (38:46):
Mine is definitely if I was a lesbian what I
want to bang them, and if there's no one I
want to bang, then I go for someone who will
be strong enough to carry me.

Speaker 5 (38:53):
I would I think I have a two for one
where I would feel so safe and I would also
bang her.

Speaker 6 (38:58):
And that's Ryan Howell.

Speaker 2 (38:59):
Oh okay, that's my number one, which is an a
FEASTI Collier hmmm yeah, yeah, equally strong as she is bangable.
Is this illegal? Are we allowed to say this on
a show?

Speaker 4 (39:09):
I think so?

Speaker 2 (39:11):
Is this sexual harassment? No, it's not.

Speaker 4 (39:14):
They're not here.

Speaker 2 (39:15):
It's women please here. It's not when it's women.

Speaker 7 (39:20):
Fair fair lunar ows is my second one, because I
want an EFSA caller to carry me like like baby
mm hmm.

Speaker 1 (39:29):
She doesn't.

Speaker 5 (39:30):
She gives me a lot of like like fun dance
floor vibes, but not like there's a fire and she's
gonna like get me out of the building.

Speaker 7 (39:41):
She's so calm, right, she's gonna she's gonna say do
I need to do this?

Speaker 4 (39:45):
And I'm gonna say yeah that everybody's saying that you
have to carry me. And then she's gonna pick me
up and she's just gonna walk and she's gonna go
about her day. I can feel it.

Speaker 1 (39:55):
I feel very safe with just being thrown over Chelsea
Gray's shoulder. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (39:59):
I I don't want to give too much away, but
the breeze was at the bottom for me because I
was like, well, I guess I'd have to be carried
by cam and I think i'd break her spine.

Speaker 5 (40:09):
You know what I mean, I literally blow out both
She's already got a gentle, right, you know.

Speaker 4 (40:14):
It's like asking a twig to hold a boulder.

Speaker 1 (40:17):
It's very interesting how I said, I have no daddy energy,
but a lot of my picks are people I would be.

Speaker 2 (40:21):
Throwing over my shoulders.

Speaker 4 (40:23):
I love this.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
I just don't know myself.

Speaker 5 (40:25):
At all, although I think Dominique Malonga, if I ran
at her and did like the lift sequence from Dirty Dancing,
she would hold me up and it would go really well.

Speaker 1 (40:33):
Fair, Okay, moving on. The next one is who'd like
to commit a crime with?

Speaker 4 (40:38):
Oh, let's we can go. I know exactly right away.
I've thought about this period.

Speaker 7 (40:49):
It's just so sad when you look at the teams
and you're like when you say to yourself, like, no one,
there's no one here. I'd want to commit a crime
with like, no, that's so hurtful.

Speaker 2 (40:57):
What kind of team is that really?

Speaker 4 (40:58):
Exactly?

Speaker 7 (41:00):
I just read the Chris Is Carrol the Dickens book,
and uh, Ezzie mc beggar. Yeah, So I keep reading
Ebenezer like I am saying, are over and over again,
never changing for me?

Speaker 2 (41:18):
Can I ask why you were reading that?

Speaker 4 (41:21):
I'm I'm like kind of a gay loser, Okay, yeah,
I just I just kind of a gay loser. Door.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
This is a weird choice. There's nothing wrong with I mean,
it's great. That is just something like.

Speaker 6 (41:43):
So wild. You're like the coolest and you're like, I'm
a gay looser.

Speaker 7 (41:49):
I just know as like as a cool gay that
I would bully myself at home, do you know what
I mean?

Speaker 4 (41:55):
Like, when I'm in private, I'm going to be my
own bully. You don't. No one has to do that
for me.

Speaker 2 (41:59):
Right right, right, get out of head of it. You
can't say that about me. I already did.

Speaker 6 (42:02):
I already recognize my own failures.

Speaker 1 (42:04):
I've got this, okay, So at the risk of being insensitive,
I'm just going off basic facts here. Obviously. My number
one is Britney Griner. I understand she knows how to
commit crimes. She has done time in the worst place imaginable,
and I feel like would absolutely be able to walk
me through it if we failed in our mission and

(42:25):
got caught.

Speaker 7 (42:26):
Well, and you'd have you'd have her wonderful wife on
your time, on your team.

Speaker 2 (42:30):
Oh that's so smart. We got a lawyer right there.

Speaker 4 (42:32):
I did not even think about that.

Speaker 5 (42:34):
Plus she's got like some conversational Russian, which really always Yeah.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
Mine crimes do involve it.

Speaker 4 (42:41):
This was my most obvious actually was it's the Rose
and it's for Killia Copper. I just think, mm hmm.
I think she's pourbvious. She's such a bad bit.

Speaker 2 (42:50):
She's my number three.

Speaker 3 (42:51):
I had Marina above her because Marina will cut a bit.

Speaker 5 (42:54):
I had Skyler between her, just just twenty four hour
scowl and then that mom energy she's I just feel
like we're going to be fine.

Speaker 1 (43:06):
For yeah.

Speaker 5 (43:08):
I also Patney Williams number two. Oh interesting, because it
would be fine. No, too big of a mouth.

Speaker 1 (43:12):
She would be talking about it before, during, and after
the crime.

Speaker 4 (43:16):
That's so true.

Speaker 2 (43:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (43:18):
If we want to be caught though, and I do,
it's Courtney for number two.

Speaker 1 (43:23):
I have Kelsey Mitchell pretty high because I feel like
she commits assassinations regularly and it never gets talked about.

Speaker 2 (43:30):
She just doesn't get enough credit.

Speaker 4 (43:31):
I have cloud for number two just because I feel
like should look.

Speaker 2 (43:35):
Col Donut agreed, and she'd look hot getting arrested.

Speaker 4 (43:38):
So one.

Speaker 1 (43:40):
All right, last category, this team has the player who's
DMS you would most like to have unlimited access to.

Speaker 2 (43:48):
Not to slide into. This is not this is just damn.

Speaker 1 (43:51):
You're just so well you can't slide in if that's
how you want to use your powers. But more importantly,
you just want to know what is really going on
with this person. Who's messaging them, Who are they messaging,
who are they talking shit about? Who are they actually
friends with? Like what's the tea?

Speaker 4 (44:06):
Oh? Done? So got it?

Speaker 5 (44:10):
One popped out immediately the same it's Jackie Young. Oh
she's a mystery.

Speaker 6 (44:17):
And I want to know everything.

Speaker 4 (44:19):
Fair mine was mine? Was Skyler Diggens. I just feel
like I also want to know everything.

Speaker 1 (44:26):
I also feel like Cambrink because as a straight and
a beauty there got to be some thirsty ass dudes
in there that are just wrecking themselves trying to find
out if they can break up a happy home.

Speaker 2 (44:38):
And I would be dying for that tea.

Speaker 6 (44:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (44:41):
And then also the stud Buds because they've been putting
themselves out there looking for love, often in the wrong
places and problematically so and I feel like their messages are.

Speaker 2 (44:53):
Got to be just nasty. Just the nastiest shit is
getting said to them.

Speaker 4 (44:58):
Yeah. Yeah, and I bet they're also saying some nasty shit,
which would be fun to read.

Speaker 1 (45:04):
It's just like only fans accounts sliding in all day.

Speaker 6 (45:09):
I would just be on those dms.

Speaker 2 (45:10):
Knock it off.

Speaker 5 (45:12):
Stop a National Treasures, get your dick back in your pants,
filthy animal like, get a hobby, read a gay loser book.

Speaker 7 (45:23):
Like like like a Christmas Carol read.

Speaker 1 (45:27):
It Christmas, go reader your pants, get off the Internet
and read a classic.

Speaker 2 (45:38):
It's too bad Jewel Lloyd isn't playing because.

Speaker 6 (45:41):
Yeah, that's another.

Speaker 2 (45:42):
That's another one. I want to see what shit went down. Okay,
I think we.

Speaker 1 (45:45):
Talked through that one enough, but if there's anything else
that came to your mind as you were going through,
let me know.

Speaker 3 (45:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (45:50):
I just I want to also, uh some clarity on
the Sinaia Maybray. So I put hive second, you get
half of the Stud Buds in Snaia, so that that's
good combo.

Speaker 6 (45:59):
But yeah, good combo.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
I have the Hive second as well. Number one lunar
owls again for Skyler Skyler Goss.

Speaker 4 (46:06):
I gotta enough.

Speaker 6 (46:06):
You know.

Speaker 5 (46:07):
The the aces were like they they went back and forth.
I'll keep this short and h they were like asking
each other like, oh, who would you do this? Blah
blah blah blah, And they're like, who wouldn't you let
your daughter or son date? And everyone's like Jackie yo.
And I was like, well, that's why I'm like, oh what,
what's tempted to change my rankings?

Speaker 6 (46:26):
But that's why I put her one because I'm just like,
what's up on that?

Speaker 1 (46:31):
To know? Okay, we have completed the nine categories of
our unrivaled draft. Make sure you have each club ranked
at least once in each category. Enjoyed this very brief
musical interlude while you double check that you have each
team at least once in each category.

Speaker 3 (46:54):
Okay, here it is the moment of truth.

Speaker 1 (46:57):
In the bottom left box, you're gonna write down four
team names, So start out with the first four in
your top left to make it easy on yourself.

Speaker 2 (47:09):
So if you.

Speaker 1 (47:11):
Were number one, pick for the first category was the
hive right down Hive, followed by your second pick for
that category, then your third, and then your fourth, and
then in.

Speaker 2 (47:23):
The box next to that, so.

Speaker 1 (47:24):
The middle bottom, you'll put your final four teams from
that first category. So you're just putting the name of
the team in the left hand column instead of the numbers,
and you're gonna do four for each box, just to
give yourself a little space. And then you're gonna go
through and take that first name Hive. They were number
one for me in the first so I'm gonna write

(47:47):
a number one next to them small. Then I'm gonna
go to the next box over to the right and
hive war two for me. So I'm gonna write the
number two. The next box over three the hive verse
six for me, I'm gonna write down a six. You're
gonna do that for each box until you should have
nine numbers next to that team name. Then you'll go

(48:08):
down to the next one and do the same, so
you'll have what number you assigned that team in each
box next to the team name.

Speaker 2 (48:18):
I have written so poorly, this is difficult.

Speaker 7 (48:23):
I over here an incredible amount of pressure, like I'm
doing this in front of the police.

Speaker 3 (48:29):
I apologize for involving math without warning you that.

Speaker 4 (48:34):
Okay, I'm glad you didn't tell me. I wouldn't have
done it.

Speaker 3 (48:38):
Also, if you had any plans for the rest of
the week, I apologize.

Speaker 4 (48:41):
Oh no, not at all. It's just similar gay books.

Speaker 2 (48:49):
Pride and Prejudice.

Speaker 4 (48:50):
Next, okay, it is on the list.

Speaker 6 (48:55):
Then we add them all up, right, yep.

Speaker 1 (48:57):
Then you add all the numbers for each team and
get a point total.

Speaker 3 (49:04):
Pull out your trustee calculator. It's very important to get.

Speaker 6 (49:08):
This writ business nuts, all.

Speaker 3 (49:14):
Right, let me know when you're done adding up your totals.

Speaker 6 (49:18):
I'm done, and I don't like it.

Speaker 4 (49:19):
Chill out, so sorry.

Speaker 2 (49:21):
That's who you really are deep down.

Speaker 1 (49:23):
Well.

Speaker 6 (49:23):
I like the players, but.

Speaker 4 (49:26):
I'm almost there.

Speaker 1 (49:28):
I'm shocked.

Speaker 4 (49:29):
Last one, guys.

Speaker 1 (49:31):
Okay, proud of you.

Speaker 2 (49:33):
I can believe you're using that advocus though. That's wild.

Speaker 7 (49:38):
You can't believe it after what I told you about
my reading habits.

Speaker 2 (49:42):
That's very true. And you are wearing that nightcap, and
you've got that.

Speaker 1 (49:45):
Weird lantern that you carried down from up the ste
I wish you guys could sit inside this rooms.

Speaker 4 (49:50):
The guest at Christmas present.

Speaker 5 (49:53):
The top hat I thought was aggressive when you first
got on the zoom it.

Speaker 4 (49:58):
Now it makes sense, all right, I'm ready.

Speaker 2 (50:01):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (50:03):
When you look at the numbers next to each club,
the team with the lowest number of points is your
unrivaled squad.

Speaker 6 (50:12):
No way, I thought it was the most number of Well.

Speaker 2 (50:15):
If you think about it, Aaron, if you take him
minute and you use this mind blow, use your brain.

Speaker 4 (50:20):
So you need a little hat and an advocate.

Speaker 2 (50:22):
But I was confused.

Speaker 1 (50:23):
That's why I was so confused, right because you know,
if you think about it, the higher numbers means they
were ranked lower.

Speaker 2 (50:31):
So the more lower rankings they.

Speaker 5 (50:33):
Got, Sarah, That's why I was so upset that I
got the missed and I'm like, no, that's the wrong.

Speaker 2 (50:39):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (50:40):
Now, this is like that time I took that Sex
in the City quiz and it said I was a Samantha.
I was like, I'm not having nearly enough sex for that.

Speaker 4 (50:49):
But what an honor?

Speaker 2 (50:50):
Lowest point total is your team? Aaron? Who is your
unrivaled team? It's Vinyl WHOA.

Speaker 4 (51:00):
That's my team.

Speaker 5 (51:02):
This is my team from last year because a teaspoon,
I got a hat right here, says.

Speaker 2 (51:06):
Why that's suspicious.

Speaker 6 (51:09):
It does seem suspicious, but I really didn't.

Speaker 3 (51:11):
What if she picked up her paper and she had
not written down at.

Speaker 2 (51:16):
She just waited to the end and pulled that.

Speaker 4 (51:19):
I was like, whoa, it's just all doodles.

Speaker 2 (51:21):
What are the odds?

Speaker 1 (51:23):
It's actually just that's what That was my mad very
detailed photo of her and Natasha Cloud with their faces
really close.

Speaker 2 (51:31):
In charcoal too. It's beautiful.

Speaker 4 (51:33):
It is not really talent.

Speaker 5 (51:34):
I ended up my numbers and I got Natasha Cloud
carry me through a fire.

Speaker 3 (51:40):
Okay, here yourival squad.

Speaker 4 (51:43):
I'm happy about it. It's phantom nice me too.

Speaker 1 (51:48):
And that was my spood last year, and I thought
for god it was going to change. But no, how
many points did your winning squad get?

Speaker 2 (51:57):
Each of you?

Speaker 4 (51:59):
Twenty three?

Speaker 2 (52:00):
Twenty three? Me too, we all got twenty three.

Speaker 4 (52:02):
Engel Jordan, It's meant to be wow.

Speaker 1 (52:06):

Speaker 2 (52:25):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (52:27):
No, my god, are you willing to share your enemy,
which would be the team with the most points.

Speaker 2 (52:33):
That is the team you will be rooting the hardest against.

Speaker 4 (52:36):
I am, and I'm sorry to this team. I'm sorry.

Speaker 6 (52:38):
Yeah, I'm sorry to team this.

Speaker 4 (52:40):

Circle your squad, underline it, tattoo it to your face,
make it your whole personality. Tell all your friends, and

See your insane sheets of paper.

Speaker 1 (53:35):
So text a picture of it, email a picture of it,
Send us what it looks like that's pretty organized.

Speaker 2 (53:40):
Mine is a.

Speaker 1 (53:41):
Disaster, just like I'm going to redo mine and make
it look pretty before I share it, because it is
a mess. It's now two days since we began. Has
everyone stayed?

Speaker 4 (53:52):
I drank through all my water. I'm filled with piss.
It's so bad in here. I feel sick.

Speaker 5 (53:59):
Great, Okay, filled with piss was the name of my
high school band.

Speaker 4 (54:03):
So I've heard y'all really.

Speaker 1 (54:05):
Good, really good and unusual use of the tuba and
I was always surprised by the triangle.

Speaker 4 (54:11):
But you're in my Spotify wrapped.

Speaker 6 (54:14):
Yeah, yep, the Tone Deaf Fleet singer.

Speaker 2 (54:17):
Yeah, and what was wild r is?

Speaker 1 (54:19):
It did say your listening age was one hundred and four,
which I didn't think was an option.

Speaker 4 (54:25):
No, I know. I feel like they just don't like
me over at Spotify. There. It's some weird thing I
haven't fair enough.

Speaker 1 (54:30):
I think we're supposed to be boycotting them anyway. So yeah,
it's probably best that that's that's an enemy to you.
All Right, I'll see y'all in Philly for the Unrivaled Games.

Speaker 2 (54:39):
Right, we'll meet there.

Speaker 3 (54:40):
We'll rock our phantom gear, will I guess fight Aaron.

Speaker 6 (54:44):
Already got my tickets Vinyl for life, right or Die.

Speaker 1 (54:48):
And then we'll all go down to Miami, do a
bunch of blow and see which of those players we
can throw over our shoulders.

Dearly ghost is gonna come to you tonight, Erin and
give you a chiding for that.

Speaker 6 (55:27):
But Ryan will be there, so it doesn't matter.

Speaker 7 (55:30):
Only in dreams, Sarah, you have to cut out the
parts where I called myself the gay loser, so it
just feels like Karen said that out of total.

Speaker 5 (55:37):
No no no, no, please please please.

Speaker 2 (55:45):
The internalized homophobia is strong.

Speaker 4 (55:47):
That's awesome.

Speaker 7 (55:48):
I love.

Speaker 1 (55:50):
Calling so weird I mean and frankly for me, this
is only going to increase the rumors that deep down
I am a lesbian.

Speaker 2 (55:59):
Those answers came way too fast for me.

Speaker 6 (56:01):
We can only hope only.

Speaker 4 (56:03):
I always call you one of the good ones. So
I'm working tope that.

Speaker 2 (56:06):
Thank you, Thank you well.

Speaker 1 (56:07):
This is anything like the movie Chasing Amy. Just keep
at it and I'll change my sexuality by the end
of the two hour film.

Speaker 4 (56:14):
That's so powerful.

Speaker 2 (56:14):
We'll work on it in Philly. Let's do this.

Speaker 1 (56:17):
Philly does seem like the place for me to turn
into a lesbian, of all places.

Speaker 4 (56:21):
Yeah, I don't think you're allowed to be straight.

Speaker 2 (56:22):
There a couple of cheese steaks.

Speaker 5 (56:26):
Cheese steake away from Vagina, she said, Nobody, every anyone.

Speaker 2 (56:31):

Take it from super Slice Alyssa Obradovich, whose email inspired
this review, top in it rating zero ont of zero
gays in the Naming Meeting review. Now, there are a
handful of colleges with different mascots for their men's and
women's teams. Tennessee Vowles and Lady Vols, Saint Peter's Peacocks
and p hen Oklahoma State Cowboys and Cowgirls, while Elyssa

(58:29):
brought to our attention Western Kentucky University, a campus that
sits on a hill, hence the mascot the Hilltoppers, and
on the women's side, the Lady Toppers. Writes Alyssa quote,
imagine my crew of four lesbians, the shock and delight
to keep hearing the announcer say Lady Toppers. The team
warm up simply said tops across the chest. Is there

(58:50):
not one queer person in WKU's athletic department who said, y'all,
this name is gay as hell?

Speaker 2 (58:55):
Being a Lady.

Speaker 1 (58:56):
Topper fan, which I now am is the equivalent of
when middle school boys in the Chicago suburbs discovered hats
that read Cox and became South Carolina fans.
