Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, you can always tell that I'm tired because I'm
my my voice is like seven octaves lower.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
You're like, I'm like, it's you're giving me. I'm giving
you octave.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
No, it was gonna say. It wasn't the word I
was gonna use. I was gonna say, you're giving, You're
giving Austin.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Yeah, you know, yeah, like, oh, they call that, they
call that vocal fry.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Vocal fry.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
That's yeah, yeah, Quinn.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Yeah, am I hot?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I get anything I want?
Speaker 1 (00:36):
This is my world. I make big moves in my
big hue. Since the day there I was born. I
made a big too. So yeah, I'm in Vegas and
it's really hot in this room. It's hot outside. I'm
sweating already. I've been in here four minutes. My hotel's excellent.
I've gone to the same place over and over again, really, and.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
It's my ego.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
And there's a very hot bartender who's been flirting with me.
And I think I might have told you this, Sarah,
but I've gotten to the point in my age where
I'm like, oh, I think he's just doing it to humor.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
I think you left out the very hot part. You
just said there was a bartender flirting.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Well, that's yeah, it's very.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Hot bartender flirting with you. It's a different context.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Why is that because you feel like Tristan might actually
be in the right She might this person, Yeah, might be,
it might be alone.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Yeah, it's totally fake. It's totally fake. And I'm like,
I'm just a cougar now, and and they just want
a bigger tip, which I am not giving them. So
I'm ordering my little arugula salad and my waters and
I'm taking the flirting to go and just knowing that
it's not genuine in any way.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I'm sorry to hear. I don't think. I don't think
much of Vegas is genuine to be fair.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Well, when I was in my twenties, if someone was
flirting with me, i'd be pretty certain that they were
trying to smash. And now I'm like, oh, maybe, because
I'm almost forty and I don't know how I look.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
I don't know if I look forty or not, but
I'm hoping not.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
But either way, solo girl, solo woman at the bar
just is like cougar central. It's really just I'm detaching
from society central.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
I don't know. What do you think You're not?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
You don't. You don't seem that like I'm used by
the story. Honestly, I thought you would find well.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
I think it's because I've already heard the story too.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
See, this is why I can't tell you stuff. I
shouldn't tell you stuff. We'll just not talk until this show.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
How about that?
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I told you, Sarah, I'm in a bad fucking mood. Okay,
So why don't you laugh at my corner? You've already
heard you didn't? You didn't. I was up. I was
up till two am, grinding for the Daily Wal. I
was telling everyone met Ashley Battle of assistant coach to
the Celtics, friend of the pod, friend of our network.
(03:01):
She's gonna come on the show. She texted me this morning.
She's really interested in coming on. She also is the
I don't know if she does play by player or color,
but I bet she does color for the Connecticut Sun
and she knows that they're ass cheeks. But we'll make
sure she doesn't have to talk about that. So yeah,
I was literally just talking to everyone I could about
my new hour, new project. And now I told you
(03:24):
I'm in a bad but I don't have any sleep
and you're just fucking not helping at all.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
So how about you help?
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Oh, I'm just trying to get you to laugh.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
No, no, I'm trying to get you to laugh.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Oh, you can't.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Get me to laugh. We've already established you're not honey.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I can't whoa. I'm just taking shots here for no reason.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
I'm sweating. I'm sweating. Can we get this show on
the road.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
We get this show on the road in.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Welcome to Let Her Shoot. The only podcast that covers
women's sports the way that we want them cover, which
means no bullshit, no kid gloves. I'm not even going
to play play any sort of nicey, nicey. I'm not
feeling good, so you're gonna get the real meat today.
Just respect for athletes and not Sarah. All the reasons
to stay locked in. Sarah Chovnik, two time Emmy Award
(04:12):
winning producer. She's hanging on by a thread right now
that the Emmys are keeping her alive. Trista Crick, zero
time Emmy Award winning talent. Today, we have a great show.
Love Island finale has has happened. We talked about so
much Love Island, the athletes that are coming on our
pod think that it's a Love Island pod.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
We're talking about that.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Of course, we're gonna talk about Angel Reese and some
of her just in the news stuff like always she's
on the two Cake cover. We're gonna talk about this
athletic anonymous player poll for the w NBA gives him
love to Tina Charles, and obviously talk.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
About Wimbledon in a lot lot more.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Speaking of Love Island.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
How do you put a fake relationship to the finale
that was basically on It was literally hanging on a
thread when they before the finale, two episodes before the
finale where Chris was ready to be done.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Well that relationship, I thought you, yes, I thought you
met Nicolandria for a second.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
No, Hunt and Chris were fake. They didn't really even
like each other. They were there for two seconds and
a cup of coffee A's and Shelley Shelle Ace was
day one OG. And I think fans who are very
similar to WNBA new w NBA fans, which basically just
the worst, uninformed. And I know I'm a very nude
(05:35):
Love Island fan, but I've also gone back and watched
previous seasons and I watched the best season of Love
Island UK with Adam Collard back like a few years ago.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
You love holding onto that one?
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Why what's wrong with that?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I don't know you just anytime we talk about Love Island, like,
you brought up that you watched that season and I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
That's before I that's before I knew you. So you
can't take credit for for it.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Oh okay, that's that's what it is. So I don't
really know. It's a great question. I don't know how
they got through. I did absolutely love the moment where
she asked if he was going to carry her back
through the water and he said, I'm not knowing you.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
That's rough.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
That's rough. I mean you carried her there. He's getting
crushed on, he's getting crushed online. If you didn't watch it,
I even if you don't know what's going on, that
scene itself is just cringe cringe cinema, where there's crying,
there's emotional withdrawals, there's avoidance.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
The timing of the singer, Oh yeah, it was quite
possibly one of the most comedic timed moments she's in
the history of the show. We've got entertainment, he said,
so do you want to break up or not? And
then and from the side, a woman comes in and
starts singing.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
I s her just kind of like walking by in
the red dress, And I was like, was that on purpose?
Was it? Were they not supposed to have someone in
the background. Maybe you should just nixon, Hey, ni kidding?
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Singer?
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Are you kidding? The producers went, now, go now. Now
they were listening to that and they were waiting for
the moment to queue cue the singer Love Island though
is over, which is a bummer. So now we have
to move on something else.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
And I'm not getting in a Big Brother.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
If you think we're talking about Big Brother every day,
I might get into Big Brother.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
So there's two people that I are sports people, so
that's why I'm rooting for them. One is a former
track star and like she was talking on the live
feeds about how her dream is to be a is
to do exactly what we're doing here right now. Like
at one point she was like, I don't know if
I could. Her name is Morgan. She said, I don't
know if I could be a sports podcaster or a
sports commentator because I just like I watch games and
(07:52):
I'm like what the fuck are you doing? And I
was like, she belongs on lettershoot, that's where she belongs.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
She belongs on the daily WNT work.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
She's a big volleyball in track and field. So you
know that's two things we are missing.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
So we are definitely definitely missing that.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
And then there's there's another guy named Will who's a
down Stay super fan and he has a podcast about
the South Carolina game Cocks, which I justin.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Does he have does he have an accent?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Well, he's like an older Southern man from South Carolina,
so like yes, but I wouldn't say it's like a
thick a thick accent South Carolina.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
You are supposed to tell me something about your life
that was like good for our audience to know about you.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Do you have anything like that?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
How is the craboil the crab the Well, it wasn't
a crab boil. It's not what we call it here.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
But what do you call it?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Just getting crabs get cra You don't call it a
crab boil. No, you don't boil the crab like I mean,
you steam them, but no crawfish boil in the South.
But Maryland, boy, Yeah, in Maryland it's just let me
tell you. My whole family is like sitting there putting
their gloves on, and I'm just like, then I have
to run a tutorial about how to do it because
(09:11):
no one else knows how to do it.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
And I'm like, how did Sam do with it?
Speaker 3 (09:14):
How is her?
Speaker 1 (09:15):
She's a Canadian and she probably doesn't need a lot
of crabs, and uh so how was she at it?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
I mean, it was a lot of can you help
me open this?
Speaker 3 (09:26):
There was whispers.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
There's there's a lot of whispers.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
A lot of girls say you better if you want
my help, you better say it with your full chest.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
She would always go, or she would like point at
something and be like, can you take the guts out
of this? And I would just take it.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
But you know, you're a man in the relationship.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
You you I fear for your nails. If you ever
tried to open.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Crabs, well, I wouldn't. I mean it, they wouldn't know.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
You'd have to. They'd have to having someone.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
I have, like a man servant or a woman servant
come up and just, you know, just do it for you,
Just do it for me.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Yeah, just maybe even.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Happy to teach you how to how to eat them.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
I mean, it's a lot of doughnut how to open.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
But that's part of the experience. You have to open
them to eat them.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
It fun if someone just gives you the meat. Yes,
it is fun if someone.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Just gives you the meat.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
I'm feeling better already.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
We have a guest. By the way, since Olie's not here,
we have a cat.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Do you have a new cat? Olie is here?
Speaker 3 (10:36):
I have Ali here.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
He probably you just mind over. Yeah, I had to
bring him. So we have a viewer question, Sarah, are
you ready?
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I am.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
This one's deep.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
This one's like very what do they say about like philosophical?
Very very, like into your inner soul? Are you ready
to get into your inner soul? How? How, Sarah, did
you get into working women's sports? And I know it's
a long, circuitous route. Oh well, so.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Keep it short.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
How I got into women's sports? So I came from equestrian.
I was a equestrian.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Okay, I already know this is too long.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
I already know this is.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Just all right.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
How did I get into women's sports? I worked at
Golf Channel out of college. I was there for you
can escape past.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
The local news part where you were like.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Well, you told me I was taking too long.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Well, going back to the equestrian it's probably a little.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Too far back. I mean that's like two steps before
the NBC thing. But that's fine. We could have gotten
there by now.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
That's what my mom always does to me when I
call her out on her bushes. She's like, we could
already been past this by now. I'm like, we could
have already been passed. I know we could not have.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
So anyway, you made in journalism in school, I.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Measured and I went to Alabama majored in journalism and
really wanted to work. I came from a sports background
and really wanted to work in sports. At the time,
I thought the only job for women in sports was
to be a sideline reporter, because this was two thousand
and eight, two thousand and nine, you know, and.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Sidelines reporter propaganda back then was.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Strong, strong, super strong. You had like, you know, Aaron
Andrews was like the end all be all to women's sports,
or I'm sorry, not women's sports, but like working women,
working women in sports, correct, and so like, if you
wanted to be a women, a woman in sports, you
had to be Aeron Andrews. Like there was no other option,
(12:42):
and so I thought my only option was to be
on camera, and I learned pretty quickly. I went I
realized I didn't want to be on camera. I worked
in local news, realized that pretty quickly and decided to
go the producer route. Got a job at NBC was
Golf Channel. NBC was there for taking me.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Did you know somebody at NBC. How did you get
into NBC?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Yeah, so my the local news station that I worked at.
The program director that worked there was college roommates with
from Alabama with a guy that worked at NBC, and
he came in on like family weekend or something like
(13:28):
a week before I graduated from college, and we got
to talking and I was like, yeah, I really want
to be in sports, and he goes, well, do you
know much about golf? And I said not really, So
he was like, hey, I will be I'll do you
want to come work at Golf Channel?
Speaker 3 (13:42):
And I said, just as easy as that.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
They just brought me in and I worked my way
up into the features unit from the news unit and
started doing docs and from there realized how underserved the
women's sports world was. Working with LPGA and period.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
My story is way too long.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
How about we do my story next episode.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
I mean, that's pretty that has to pay off.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
There's just too much paint.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
All right, all right, all right, played basketball growing up.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
I you just told me that stories from the nineties
are too far in the past, and then you immediately
start with when I was a child. What the fuck?
Your story's longer than my story. Mine's a pretty straight line.
And then you go back to, like the way fucking
(14:40):
beginning you said, no one gives a shit about your life.
I was just fucking what she said.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
I knew you were gonna say that. That's right. I
did it. I got involved in men's sports, on a
long journey m sports, started in finance.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Hated it again, same thing.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Sideline reporting was the thing I thought was the only
thing that I could do. But as you guys can see,
you know, eleven seconds with coach tell us what you
learned in the first half was just not going to
cut it for me. I could probably have stomached it
for one year, maybe less, and then I would have
been like, but coach, don't you think that I would
(15:26):
have been an editorializing They would have given me the hook.
So I knew pretty fast that I had to do
something with an opinion because I can't keep my opinion
to myself. So tucking. When I went to this digital
media network which cannot be named, that's when I the
(15:47):
you don't want to name it, it's a nope, I don't.
So anyway, I was there. I don't want to turn
any of our viewers off. You can google it yourself,
you know, but don't judge me.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
And so I was there, and the I was there
at Voldemort stool and old a stool stool.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
That's how we're going to refer to it from now on.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Stool. So the women's bubble was happening.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Do you hear that? Yeah, continue, I'm listening. Something is
falling apart outside, but I'm here. I'm locked in.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
You're locked in, well, but I'm I locked in.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
I don't know what's going on out there, but I'm
very distracted.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Now, Okay, So I'm as oldest stool and I started
betting on the w NBA and writing about it and
blogging about it, and then was like, Wow, nobody's doing this.
You can't even find out what what these players are
doing if they're injured. Where they went Britney grinder left
the bubble.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
We still don't know why or.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
When she just disappeared, And so over time I felt
like the women's side of the game had just a
huge opportunity. I got much more interested in women's college
basketball really through Page and Asy. This is long before Caitlyn.
Caitlyn's freshman year. She didn't even really like she was
just kind of a blip in the radar, like some
(17:20):
girl from Iowa who's making thirty footers and scoring thirty
So yeah, So I just decided when I left about
us last summer that I wanted to do this full time.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
How was that was that too long?
Speaker 2 (17:33):
I mean it was it was long, But we would
our viewers would rather listen to you ramble than me ramble,
so we'll take it.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Why why do you think that because you're not a
good rambler?
Speaker 2 (17:45):
That felt like an attack? No, I mean I think
just in general, you're the talent.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
So are you?
Speaker 3 (17:51):
You're yeah, as the talent now, But as.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
I said earlier, I never planned on being talent.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
And now here you are, and now here I am.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Yo. We gotta thank our first sponsor, Fukes Financial, a
financial advisory that helps real people plan for achievable retirements.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Ben is a real one, by the way, Go and
follow him on his YouTube.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
There's no scripts, there's no sales pitch.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
He just gives you some advice that you can use.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Fukes financial plannings without pressure. I like that.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
We got some teeth.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Yeah, let's do this. I'm already starting to get annoyed
with you, so with me just kidding?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
What am I doing? Two K cover came out and
Angel Reese she debuted as the NBA two K cover
at the same time.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
She debuted a new shoe WNBA cover.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Anything to do with Angel Reese is going to trigger
an entire group of fans that get their pitchforks out,
their torches lit, and march to the comment section where
they go to war, including but not limited to, there
was a tweet that went viral. Someone photoshopped the two
(19:12):
K cover with like, I can't even be I'm not
even sure exactly what kind of monkey it was.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
It was a chimp.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
I think it was a chimp.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
And then RG three, who is Robert Griffin third? If
you don't follow the m sports, he was a bust
of a quarterback.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Ruined the Washington franchise.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
As we know it just a general cornball decides to
then somehow both defend her and use that image and
spread it more and also attack her at.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
The same time in this post that he puts on Twitter,
and I'm gonna tell you, I read it like three
times and I still did not understand what point he
was trying to make.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
It was like when people have a point that they
feel like they've been wanting to get off their chest
for a while, you know, and then any if there's
an opening, boy, they're going to use that opportunity to
get that point across, which is that he feels that
Angel Reese hates Caitlyn Clark, and he's going to continue
to use every opportunity that he can to screen that
(20:15):
from the rafters and say he's not wrong because he
got crushed by men's media that covered the NFL.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
They crushed him on this same take, and he even
went around it.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
He's like, this is so awful and disgusting that someone
would post this. We should never do that. But also
I said that Angel Reese hates Caitlin Clark, and I
stand by the hats and her. Somebody from her inner
circle reached out to me and said that I was
one hundred percent right and that she does hate Caitlin.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
And then Angel came back and was like, Yo, this
is crazy, cap, this is insane. Just lies about me lives.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
It's at the moment of recording this post this picture
that he posts, which it's as bad as you think
it is when I tell you that it's a a
chimp in a in the Jersey. So we post this.
It has eight point eight million views right now.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
I did not know that eight point eight million views
that he posts us so so where it was a
it was a response like someone posted it as like
a response on a comment that probably would have gotten
fifty eight views right like it would have never gotten
out into the world.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
But now this guy has put it out there. He
posts this thing and then he goes, I have been
quiet on the Angel reesfront, which, by the way, no
he hasn't. We has not been quiet on the Agel reesefront.
And then he immediately goes to say because she shared
a video she shared like immediate finger pointing, she shared
a video that aided in my wife, kid's family and
(21:48):
friends receiving death threats.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
What was that video?
Speaker 2 (21:52):
I don't know was it when she reshared the video
of him like with the with this that was like
the whole like get out video that you were talking about,
Like his wife was behind him and he was making
all those comments.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Well, but that's his video.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
That's his video he posted.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
So I don't and he says that will never be
okay with me. I never attacked her or her family
when I stated and backed up with clear basketball evidence
that Angel hates Caitlin.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Clark by the way, by the way, by the way,
by the way narrative. Still by the way, by the way,
there are no basketball analytics that proves hate doesn't exist.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Because she got x amount of rebounds that that means
she hates Kitlin Clark. What stats are you pulling to
show that she hates Kitlin Clark? That doesn't there's no
stats you're right, like you can pull. So then he
goes on. So it was about that whole back and
forth about the monkey sound thing, and that was the
whole and Angel Reese reposted one of Ryan Clark's rebuttals
(22:50):
and apparently that is what targeted on his family, maybe like,
don't make that comment. And then he said some people
made it about race, but I never did. And then
he host the image of the monkey.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Like it's just like.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
I'm just being that. It's just imagine being that like
delusional in how you think you come off as something,
and like because he can sit there, I just cannot
under I cannot fathom what RG three is thinking. Cannot fathom.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
This is like RG three is kind of like when
there's an advertising agency that comes out with a very
tone deaf, like a racially tone deaf commercial, like when
it was like when it was Yes, when it was like,
you know, the one of the Jenners or whatever was the.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Exact one that i'd jennerst.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
The Kendall Jenner's like going through the ice raids or whatever,
like it's martial law, but she's got the pepsi. Anyway,
that's RG three on Twitter. That's no. It's like, oh,
you clearly didn't have any people of color around in
this decision making. Otherwise people in the room would have
told you this is a bad idea. And to that
(24:03):
I say the same things like where where is RG
three's support? So yeah, where are his black friends at
that tells him, Hey, this is don't do this, this
is horrible. You should delete this. Like I have people
in my life. That'll be like, you should delete this
right now.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
He was not worth it.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
You should delete this.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
I would you never post that.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
No, you wouldn't, but I would tell you.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
But yeah, I have people who would be like, hey,
you can't. You got to delete that right the second
I saw that before. And his wife is like clearly
egging him on along the way. She's like eating the
popcorn and the couch when he's giving his stupid takes.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
It's just so dumb.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
I don't even want to talk about RG three because
he's a man and this is a woman's podcast, So.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Let's not talk about RG three anymore. Let's talk more
about the Sky who beat Minnesota this week, which probably
shocked a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
They were eleven and a half point underdogs and they
beat them by six.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
And but the highlight was the social media post that
came out immediately.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Afterwards that was incredible, the picture of the sky and
it just said.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Y'all ain't beat Chicago question mark.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
It goes back to when the stud Buds interviewed Djona
Carrington and they were asking who the Wings had beaten
and they were like, well, we've beaten the Connecticut Sun
and They're like, y'all ain't beat Chicago.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
It's like, no, we've we've lost to Chicago.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Y'all ain't beat Chicago. That's crazy. So the Chicago Sky
Twitter account just dot dot dot y'all ain't beat Chicago
question mark, that is what. And the stud Buds obviously
are Minnesota Links players, so it goes full circle. They
play again tonight we have a rematch uh in Chicago. Again,
(25:57):
the Sky are ten point under. So the world still
doesn't believe Vegas doesn't believe that that was a real victory.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
But what I will say about this.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
And I posted this online, Angel Reach just looks much
better even if you're not a basketball fan.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
She just looks much more comfortable, and not just as
a rebounder, but as a scorer.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
As I saw her go right at in the Visa
collier just dead end in the keys of in the
Visa collier's chest and then use really good footwork, spin
move kind of things that I would imagine based on
what I know about a Visa collier is like part
of the FISA collier's bag. She just dipped it in
a visa caller's bag, stole a lipstick out, put it
(26:38):
on her lips and hit the MIDI right in a
FISA's face. So I think what you're seeing from the
Sky is a turnaround. They've covered I know that we
don't talk about betting on the show, but they've covered
eight straight games in a row, which means they just
outperformed expectations every game. Angels averaging eighteen and ten eighteen
points per game for a player that has no offensive bag,
as per the trolls, is crazy. And she's outpacing pretty
(27:02):
much every single WNBA player in rebounding. Just on the
defensive rebound side alone, she has one hundred and seventy
six defensive rebounds, which may mean nothing to you, but
like she's got that's more than every single player in
the league but two in terms of their total rebounds
for the year. So it's been really interesting to see
the sky start to come along and guess what and
(27:23):
guess what, Guess what, Sarah, guess what.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
I don't know what.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Haley van Lift not playing No I saw dude, did
not play coaches decision, and shockingly they got the dub.
Don't I don't mean I don't mean that in a
mean way, Like I'm not dancing on the grave. I'm
just saying. And I was talking about this with people
last night in Vegas that are on the women's side,
(27:48):
and I said, Haley Van, look getting some dmpcds and
they go, It's almost like, you know that comment that
Angel made, isn't that wrong?
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Do you think by the way you brought this up?
Is it kind of weird that they're playing back to
back games sky on Minnesota?
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Yeah, this schedule is weird.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
They've played They've actually played Minnesota one other time, like
a week ago, so this will be three games in
three games in ten days. They played on the sixth,
the twelfth, and now the fourteenth.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
That's weird.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
It is weird. That would never happen on the m side.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Never. So the Athletic had an anonymous player pole come out,
which I absolutely love those.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Did you see that?
Speaker 1 (28:29):
I did.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
I'm kind of disappointed though that they only released two
to start like that they've like teased. I mean, I
get it why they do it, because it's like, I'm
gonna keep going back every day to check the rest
of them.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Are they?
Speaker 2 (28:41):
I mean, I am. I want to know you do.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
I'll see it on social media.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
I'm not going to the athletic anonymous player poll online
every day and log it out of my New York
Times account that they keep trying, and they keep trying
to get me to buy the cooking side or the
lifestyle side. No, bitch, I just want to see what's
happening in the sports. I don't care about New York
Times right now. It's all doom and gloom.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
There's no no.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Brushetta recipes, not enough of those that you could give
me brusque. There's no leak hold leak recipes enough that
you could get me. We'll pay more, give pay more
money for your fancy ass newspaper.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
They do it every time. Have you seen that? Do
you know that?
Speaker 1 (29:21):
You? Have you noticed that?
Speaker 2 (29:22):
I mean no, I haven't noticed that, grifters. But I
do enjoy cooking on like you do, so I would
probably enjoy the New York Times cooking you don't.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Oh my god, that's just one of the most lay
up ridiculous comments that you can make because you don't
follow recipes. What do you need a recipe thing for
if you don't use recipes ideas?
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Okay, all right, okay, So the player poll comes out
best player and biggest trash Talker were the two poles
that were released. Fee was kind of like an overwhelming
It was like a arming amount of votes Scott for
best Player, which is not surprising, but that's.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Actually a little bit low key surprising because yeah, because
not every MVP runaway is considered to be the best
player in the league. So for example, in the men's game,
Shay Giligis Alexander was a runaway MVP winner, But if
you pulled players, everybody would say Nicola Jokic is the
(30:25):
best player in the league. But because of voter fatigue,
because of you know, the team's success or lack thereof,
for Denver, he doesn't get the award. So but in
this case, because he is having an MVP year. And
Asia Wilson, who actually had an awesome game against the
Valkyrize this weekend which I forgot to go to, which
(30:47):
I was supposed to go to, and I just totally
spaced it.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Because I'm in Vegas, and.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
I mean I knew it was happening, I just didn't
know what game it was. So again, Vegas time brain,
Vegas brains brain.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
So she crushed it.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
So but Age is not having a great, uh, the
team success isn't there, But you would imagine that she's
been considered the best player in the league for many
years now and her stats aren't really down that much.
That that's pretty shady for them to overwhelmingly say it
is fee and not her.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
It was Fie Asia and Stewie. Was that the third
one that was getting votes?
Speaker 3 (31:26):
I want to say that would make sense.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was. It was Stewie. Yes,
it was Stewie. So I mean, out of those three,
are there any left off surprises to you that? I mean,
no votes for Kaitlin Clark, which I don't think is
a surprise for anyone who's like.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Game.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Yeah, Like, I don't think anyone, but I'm sure surprising
for a lot of Kaitlyn Clark fans. Probably we'll have
a lot of feelings about that. But just to be clear,
this also was not all players voting. It's forty players
that are represented. They don't disclose how many from each team,
but they say they're represented by all teams forty players,
(32:08):
no rookies, all veterans that are playing, like all at
least in a second year of voting, So we don't
know who's voting for this and we don't know the
player reps, like, is it player captains? Is it? You know,
we have no idea, But is there any surprises that
you would have thought would be in there?
Speaker 1 (32:25):
No, I think the WNBA is very crowded at the top,
there's like three well I guess not crowded, very like
a narrow, dense sort of band of good players, and
then it falls off and then the second tier players
are much worse. I think John Quell could be up
in that category, but she's had injury issues. She's like,
(32:48):
I don't think anyone would consider her though, the best
player in the league. I think the best players in
the league are really just Angel and the FISTA call
Year and Stewie's sort of you said Angel, you mean
Asia see Vegas, Brain, Asia, Asia and Fee.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
So that is a controversial statement if you were No.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
No, No, I don't think anybody would say that. I
don't think any like second, I don't think anyone would
say that. But so No, I don't think there's anyone
that there's left that's left off of there, No guards, nothing.
I thought that the Biggest Trash Talker Award was really
interesting because I didn't realize that Alica Thomas, who is
(33:32):
constantly disrespected by the media, plays very like a physical
style of game, not that flashy, and doesn't really get
talked about at all, is considered the biggest trash talker
in the w n b A.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
There was a quote from someone that says, like she
smiles at you while she insults you. It's psychotic behavior,
which I love. That's Tim Duncan. That's what Tim Duncan
used to do. I don't know who.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Yeah, Tim, Oh well, okay, m.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Sport Anyway, I thought Marina Maybury. Marina Maybury being on
that list is crazy because her and Courtney Williams, who's
also on that list, played together on the team and
the last.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Year and we I mean, we've seen Marina in some
scuffles this year. We've seen her, you know, she's had
her She body checked Caitlin to the ground. She's also
she was a little.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Bit huge back and forth for many years with Djona.
Her and Dja would go at it, and then they
became teammates last year when she got traded to the
Connecticut Son and then they became like best friends. But
Marina's no fucking joke. Marina's having a year for a
team that's this irrelevant. The Marina and Sonaya and the
(34:50):
Son are finding ways to pop up on my feed
when it's like not anything basketball related. Her agent asked.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Me, what do I think about that content? And I said,
I like it. It's cool.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
I think it humanizes Marina. I think it makes her
more likable. I think it makes Sanaya really likable. I
like it, and he goes mm hmm, and I'm like, what,
you don't like it?
Speaker 3 (35:11):
And he's like, I just think she should be hooping
or something like that.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
No, I just don't think. I mean, I get that mentality.
I think that's a very old school mentality, though it is, like,
I just I don't think that anyone is gonna get
further in their careers without showing bits of themselves. I
just don't think. I mean, I just don't think you can't.
Rest of the rest of the ones that are gonna
(35:35):
be coming out later this week, I'm kind of anxious
to look forward to. There's like a who do you
think is going to be the face of the league
in the next five years? And I think I'm really
curious to see how the votes go on that one,
because I think there's really two ways that they can go,
three ways they can go.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
I think they're gonna say Page, do you think and
what do you think will happen if they say Paige.
I think people are gonna get mad. I think people
are gonna get mad.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Speaking of Caitlin versus Page, they played finally, Yes, we
finally saw them go head to head, which has been
a long kind of a waited week. We didn't get
it the last time these two teams played because there
was injury. There was, you know, a strained quad. So
we're we're finally got we finally got it. The Fever
(36:27):
kind of belt to ask in the second half.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
It just happened in a nowhere boy. I literally sent
a text to their group chat and I was like,
I think the Wings are going to win this game.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
And then they just never scored again. I don't think
they one more point of them.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
Yeah, twenty one point win for the Fever. But they
both had good games. I mean, Kaitlyn had fourteen points,
thirteen assists.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
I don't think that's a game for Kaitlin. That's a
bad game for j Okay. Yeah, let's I think they
build it right now.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Yeah, that's because they build everything for Kitlyn and a
good thing. They want to spin the fact that she's
she's not right and she's frustrated, and she talked about
it after the game. Like her shots, she says, feels
like it's right there and it feels good. She's not
making shots, she's chucking. There were a lot of early
chucks from deep three for both teams. Page and Caitlin
(37:19):
were just pulling up. Kelsey Mitchell was pulling up. You
had the rookies JJ Quinnerley, who by the way, got
injured a little bit, and Isiah James who played. They
played a lot and they're actually really good for the wings,
but they were pulling up from three.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
So it was an ugly watch.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
And when you shoot that much, basically when the ball
comes off the back of the rim that fast, if
you grab that in transition, that turns into easy buckets.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
Now, I was.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Switching between that and the Wimbledon Men's final, so I
didn't watch every second of this game. But yeah, I
think Caitlyn's struggling right now. She's I think she's having
a really down year and people don't really want to
talk about it, and Page is quietly having maybe a
better year than Caitlyn did last year. So that's going
(38:08):
to be a fascinating narrative to watch play out. Crazy.
The craziest thing was watching them pull up into the
tunnel against one another, because you could see so drastically
how different they are as people and just their style,
and it was just something that I've never I think
I'm done saying nothing about Caitlyn Clark's outfits.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
I cannot remain silent.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
I've stun she's being.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
Dressed for two.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
I think she's dressing herself.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
There's no way, there's no way she's dressing herself.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
She's got a Prada. Also, let's talk about Prada for
a second.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Okay, Prada like the company.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Yes, Prada is an old woman's brand, that is for
that is for someone in their late sixties. That's like
got bejeweled, Like what's your name? From El Kim Molky?
I can see Kim Molky being sponted somebody.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
It's someone who calls their bag a pocket book.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
You know, they wouldn't call it a pocketbook. The pocketbooks
would be the pocketbook. But yes, I know what you're
talking about.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
But they call them pocketbooks. They don't call them like
that's not like those are pocketbooks.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
Oh okay, no anyway saying it's so old that that's
what they would call it. Those are the type of
women who like still have checks that they write when
they go to the grocery store and they you know
what I mean, they've got they pull it out of
their product bag. They have product clothes, they've got bejeweled
blazers they wear. And so the fact that Caitlyn Clark
(39:53):
is sponsored by Prada just tells you really what time
it is for her and probably doesn't have a huge
selection of young people clothes. It'd be like if I
if probably was dressing me, what would it be for me?
I would probably look like Kaitlyn Clark and they're probably
(40:14):
paying her five MS to wear that hideous shit.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
That and why brown, brown on brown?
Speaker 1 (40:21):
And like a skirt suit combo?
Speaker 2 (40:24):
Did we learn nothing from Obama's I.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
Was just about to say that the tan suit fiasco.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
The tan suit fiasco, why aren't we retire tan suits?
Speaker 1 (40:35):
It was so bad and I think when you juxtaposed
it with Page who came in looking swaggy, cool, just
very cool, very like I'm not worried about this matchup
at all. Kaylen Clark dressed like she was a twenty
one year old going to a job interview.
Speaker 3 (40:54):
She's clearly thinking is needing to be dressed up.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
For or a forty seven year old CPA in an
end of the year meeting with her biggest client, a
skirtsuit combo.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
I'm like, girl, we're running for president? Or are we
playing basketball?
Speaker 1 (41:15):
None of it, it's just aural less. It's completely oralless.
If you didn't know what Caitlin Clark's game was like,
you would think it was the most boring game on
the planet. Based on the way she walks down in
the tunnel, you probably wouldn't even know she was. Yeah,
you would think she was like an agent or a lawyer.
She worked for the League office in the legal department.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
Yeah, it's definitely giving that.
Speaker 1 (41:38):
It's giving.
Speaker 3 (41:39):
You've been served.
Speaker 1 (41:41):
Her best friend is Tyrese Haliburton, and he dresses god
awful as well.
Speaker 3 (41:46):
I don't know what's going on in Indiana. They need
to figure it out. Boy, it's bad. It's so bad,
I figure out.
Speaker 2 (41:55):
Let's give some love to Tina Charles before we move
on to Wimbledon, who reached eight thousand career points. Very
quietly because he didn't hear anything about it.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
Yeah, I think the thing about Tina Charles is that
she's just one of the more underrated players in WNBA history.
And I think the thing that sort of pissed me
off is that she didn't get it talked about at all.
It was kind of like, there's she's been a WNBA MVP,
(42:28):
she's a nine time All Star. It's kind of like
what happened with Angel mccatry when she came on and
people just forget.
Speaker 3 (42:35):
Only she's still in the league.
Speaker 1 (42:36):
She's number one in the rebounds per game all time,
so you put this into context, and she's been in
the league for fifteen years and has that more prototypical
old school style of scoring. So she's never won a title.
That probably is another reason that she's just not talked
(42:56):
about at all. And then by the time she joined
in like stacked rosters, that was kind of she was
past her prime. So I think it's really her age
and the fact that she's not in the public sphere
with the media the same way. But she really should
be in goat conversations, but the media ties greatness a
(43:19):
lot to rings. She never had her ring, so she's
a juggernaut and she deserves her flowers. And I'm happy
to see that she's still out there doing her damn thing.
Speaker 2 (43:28):
Love it, little tennis, little winby Wimbledon final happened. We
were super excited go Poland for Amanda.
Speaker 3 (43:38):
Was that I if someone's gonna win, that's not Amanda.
A Polish woman winning it was pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (43:45):
Because you're Polish. Yep, Okay, that wasn't clear to our audience.
Speaker 1 (43:49):
So I'm Polish. I'm Polish, So I was happy for Ega.
Speaker 2 (43:54):
As a Russian, I was upset for Amanda.
Speaker 1 (43:58):
This is like what my mom says, where I was like,
I don't think you could ever talk to my mom
because she's so anti Russian. She's like, the Russians will
slit their own mother's throats for a loaf of bread.
Speaker 3 (44:09):
I'm like, Mom, I don't think you can say that.
Speaker 1 (44:13):
I don't think you can say She said, guess what
they would do for a telephone over there, I said,
well more than.
Speaker 3 (44:21):
What they would do for a loaf of bread.
Speaker 1 (44:22):
Probably anyway in Russia for a month, though, did you
for a whole month?
Speaker 2 (44:29):
A whole month? I didn't have my phone when I
was in Russia because I lost it on a bus.
Speaker 3 (44:33):
So what did you do to get in contact with people?
Speaker 2 (44:35):
Facebook? Messenger?
Speaker 3 (44:37):
Back to Wimbledon.
Speaker 1 (44:38):
So Amanda and Asamova, she's really had We've talked about
this before on the on the show, but her journey
and how much she's had to overcome and how the
trolls online got to her, and the mental health aspect
that she's had to sort of get stronger about or
(44:58):
figure out. You could just tell that after she beat
Arena Sablenka that took everything out of her. She was
spinn like that she probably should have lost Arena. Arena
was coming back figuring things out.
Speaker 3 (45:12):
She had that big.
Speaker 1 (45:13):
Screen Yeah yeah, and you're like, oh, that's the Serena scream.
She's coming for that ass. I went to the gym
to Matt Plates, which apparently you think is fucking hilarious
that I would go to because that's hilarious to me,
is like a girl sep out thing, Like what am
I doing? Just like lifting fucking big bags of barrels
of hay.
Speaker 3 (45:32):
That's what I do.
Speaker 1 (45:33):
Like a tire flipper, you see, like a crossfitter. Do
I have the body of a crossfitter?
Speaker 2 (45:38):
To you? No, you don't have the body of a crossfitter,
but you have the energy of a crossfitter. Who's gonna
tell you that they're a crossfitter all the time.
Speaker 1 (45:45):
Except for that, you've never heard me say I'm a crossfitter.
Speaker 2 (45:49):
It doesn't matter. That's just the energy that.
Speaker 3 (45:51):
You give back to Amanda.
Speaker 1 (45:53):
So I went to take my Matt Plate's class and
I came back and Amanda had beaten that ass. And
so I'm like, okay, IgA has looked a little bit shaky.
She's not good on grass. Amanda has an awesome, powerful serve,
and she just looked she just looked cooked. And I hate,
(46:13):
I hate having discussions about conditioning with women's athletes because
so much of it ties into physical.
Speaker 3 (46:21):
Appearance and like body composition.
Speaker 1 (46:24):
But she said that she needs to change how she
conditions because she now has gone the full two weeks before.
You know, she's never done that before, gone to the
gone to a Wimbledon final, and now she sees that
her body was spent because there's just just no turnaround
time between the semifinals and the finals.
Speaker 2 (46:42):
No, which I know is still back.
Speaker 1 (46:45):
She just looked out matched, she looked nervous, She looked
like sad, emotional, and to get cooked in like straight
sets six zero, six zero with the fifty six minute.
Speaker 2 (46:58):
Again, she didn't even win a game.
Speaker 1 (47:00):
She was barely winning points.
Speaker 2 (47:03):
She had a couple times where you were like, she
would get up like forty fifteen, and you'd be like, oh,
finally here, and then all of a sudden, Ego would
just bam bam bam bam bamp point ego, and you'd
be like, oh my god, how did that just happen?
And it was so quick, it was happening so fast.
I think Adrian fact check me if I'm wrong on this.
(47:23):
But she had twenty eight unforced errors, which is just
so many. And you can't I mean, you can't win
when you're hitting it into the net that much. I mean,
I think I texted you at one point and said,
I think she has faulted on every first serve. She
could not get her served down at all.
Speaker 1 (47:44):
And after the tournament was over and they were talking,
which I think, is like really interesting how they do it.
I did this.
Speaker 3 (47:51):
I don't know of any other sport that does it
this way.
Speaker 1 (47:54):
You've got the winner on one side with the mic
and the loser on the other side with the mic,
and they just talked to them both back to back,
and just the commentator the host is just standing there
in between them and it's on the loudspeaker to the crowd.
And Amanda's family had flown in for the final from
(48:16):
wherever New Jersey, like Port Township or something New Jersey,
long way to fly in for this match for her
to get just destroyed, krib stomped, And it was I
teared up listening to her tear up about her family
and how thank god they came there because if her
(48:37):
mom didn't show up, then that would have been seen
as the curse of the family not showing up, and
how Ego is just so much better than her, and
just the trials and tribulations. She just went through the
whole journey right in front of you, as you can
just see her getting emotional, and I'm like, oh my god, please.
Speaker 2 (48:57):
I felt awful for her, just because you know, you
could see the frustration on her face, and you could
see every time she would she'd have another unforced error,
she would just like her face just sort of to
look so dejected, like she was just sort of like,
I just want to get this over with I just
want to get out of here. And I felt so
(49:18):
bad for her, And I agree the whole like winner
thing at the end where they like make them do
the interviews a following, like their loss is so strange
it it's giving. And I'm gonna bring my m sport
reference up when Jordan Speith lost the Masters U and
he had to like he went on, you know, he
hit two in the water and then he had to
(49:40):
go put the jacket on. Danny Willett as like the
winner from the year before, and his face is just
like I don't want to be He's rewarding the guy
who beat him, and it's just so awkward to do,
like to make these force these I just feel like
some traditions are meant to be, like maybe we need
to not do it here.
Speaker 1 (49:58):
Yeah, And to EGA's credit though, she just looked like
she had found something that now she can take on
to her career forever. The elation on her face, the relief,
the pride.
Speaker 3 (50:16):
She was like a little kid.
Speaker 1 (50:18):
She was walking around, she did the lab multiple times.
She asked the woman, the British woman.
Speaker 3 (50:23):
That was holding her trophy for her. When she was
like doing other things.
Speaker 1 (50:26):
She went so slow putting her items back, all the
items into her bag, just relishing the moment. But she
asked the woman, are there any time constraints?
Speaker 3 (50:35):
Like do you have somewhere to be.
Speaker 1 (50:38):
You? Is there is there a time limit because I'm
thinking about really soaking this whole thing in.
Speaker 3 (50:45):
And did you see her with Yanick Cinner?
Speaker 1 (50:47):
By the way, another couple of bad outfits were her
and Yonick Center. It was almost like they just when
you go to a country club and you don't have
a blazer and so they make you put one of
theirs on. That's what they look like, Oh, you didn't
bring enough stuff for this formal event that so we
are just gonna give you our dress that's from the
(51:10):
back closet and our blazer.
Speaker 3 (51:12):
Ya I mean, everything didn't fit. So they did their
little dance. It was so cute.
Speaker 1 (51:16):
Anyway, Congratulations to Ega because if she could become a
monster on grass, completely transformed her game, did things completely differently.
Speaker 3 (51:26):
I'm not a tennis expert, but she talked.
Speaker 1 (51:27):
To a yeah, and so now she's a monster on
clay in a hard court. So if she can play
this way on grass, I don't know how you beat
her at all. And oh also also why is Coco
ranked in front of her? I like Coco, but I've
watched a lot of Cocoa, and I don't think she's
(51:48):
better than Ega.
Speaker 2 (51:50):
I mean, I don't. I have a feeling that, Just
like in golf, it probably doesn't have anything to do
with opinion. It's probably point standings and all that kind
of stuff.
Speaker 3 (52:00):
So yeah, like a ranking is just the statistical objective thing.
Speaker 2 (52:04):
I think it's just the ranking is what it is.
But it's also not indicative of who the best player
is right now necessarily. Like it's it's like with golf,
its on a two year cycle, you know, so like
someone could go like I think Nellie cord is still
ranked number one despite not having won in the last
like eighteen months, because she has such.
Speaker 3 (52:23):
A big gap on everybody else.
Speaker 2 (52:26):
Yeah, yeah, exactly that you can just like kind of
it's why Tiger was like number one for years, you know,
and never no one could ever beat him. Before we go,
I have a new sport for us to get like
super locked in on.
Speaker 1 (52:39):
By the way, so we got the Giros, all right,
we got the US Open coming up. We got in
the international break for NWSL, But that's come, a bag
is barreling down on us.
Speaker 3 (52:50):
What we got? What's the new sport we got to.
Speaker 2 (52:51):
Get to volleyball. USA volleyball has made it to the
Volleyball Nation's lead Final and finals. There's eight teams top
eight teams in the world.
Speaker 1 (53:06):
Go.
Speaker 2 (53:06):
They just played twelve games to determine if they were
going to be seated in the top eight. They just
barely snuck in number eight, So they're now the eighth seed.
They play the number one seed, which is probably not
like ideal in Italy, who went completely undefeated during their
prelim round. But in Poland starting next week.
Speaker 1 (53:25):
So poll l In, poll Lin, poll Lint pol Lin.
Speaker 2 (53:30):
I love what I can get into some volleyball.
Speaker 1 (53:33):
I met a former pro volleyball player man, and he
was telling me how huge women's volleyball is getting on
the college side and on the pro side, and the
beach volleyball is one of the biggest nil revenue makers
for women's athletes in the country.
Speaker 2 (53:52):
Really, yeah, I didn't know that. Have you seen, though, Like,
have you watched the Nebraska volleyball game that they do
in the football stadium.
Speaker 3 (54:00):
I haven't.
Speaker 2 (54:01):
It's insane. They sell out their football stadium for a
women's volleyball game.
Speaker 1 (54:08):
Oh I think I did see this. Actually, yes, I
did see this.
Speaker 2 (54:12):
It's insane.
Speaker 1 (54:13):
It's the popularity of it.
Speaker 3 (54:15):
I'm in.
Speaker 2 (54:16):
I can get.
Speaker 3 (54:16):
I just need to know when it's happening.
Speaker 1 (54:20):
You know, the these apps and things they don't do
a good job of just push notifications like hey this
is I missed the Valkyrie's Aces game in person because
I nobody's telling me, hey, this is happening today.
Speaker 2 (54:30):
Yeah, it's because ESPN only gives you the m sports.
Yeah that's all.
Speaker 3 (54:36):
That's our fun show. That was a fun show.
Speaker 2 (54:39):
I feel like you're lying to me.
Speaker 3 (54:41):
Don't provoke me now, Okay, I just.
Speaker 2 (54:44):
Said you said it's a fun show, after spending the
whole show telling me how annoying I was.
Speaker 1 (54:49):
I spent the first five minutes telling you you were annoying.
Then I got over it. But don't provoke me now,
I get I get my hackles back very quickly. It
was a fun show, Sarah, and we pivoted on our
little We had a guest planned and she had some
car trouble, which I am going to roast her mercilessly for,
(55:10):
Like what was going on with it?
Speaker 3 (55:13):
Is the battery dead? Do we have do we do
we have a tire?
Speaker 2 (55:18):
I wonder if I wonder? I bet you know what,
I'm curious if she's a jeep driver like me?
Speaker 1 (55:24):
Why because she's gay?
Speaker 4 (55:25):
Is that what?
Speaker 3 (55:26):
Thats like a lesbian's terroristerios Exactly.
Speaker 2 (55:29):
That's exactly what. Yeah, it's a stereotype of It's a
tease of who the of the guest is a lesbian?
Speaker 1 (55:34):
A lesbian an athlete.
Speaker 3 (55:36):
That's a lesbian who plays soccer.
Speaker 2 (55:38):
An athlete, that's a lesbian that plays soccer. We're hoping
to get on our show later this week.
Speaker 1 (55:44):
Yeah, she's she's was terrified thinking that this was a
Love Island show, and she still agreed to do it,
and then was like, hey, wait is it?
Speaker 3 (55:51):
But you know what about Love Island?
Speaker 1 (55:52):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (55:54):
I do love the fact that she like agreed to
it without even doing what the show was about. She
was just like, yeah, wait, it's about Love Island.
Speaker 1 (56:02):
There's a right or die. Like, By the way, I
told you guys, I don't watch Love Island, so I
hope this isn't about it.
Speaker 2 (56:07):
By the way, I don't watch Love Island.
Speaker 1 (56:08):
That's all the time that we have for let Her
Shoot next episode, I will be in much better spirits
we've got well maybe actually, we're gonna have a mini episode,
a bonus episode, coming out in the middle of the week,
and I have no idea how much sleep I'll have
for that episode either, but I'll fake it better because
there'll be a new person around that's gonna be very exciting.
Follow us on YouTube at the Daily W Sports, Follow
(56:31):
us on Instagram the DAILYW Sports as well, and TikTok,
and we'll see you next time let Her Shoot.
Speaker 5 (56:42):
I'm a hotter.
Speaker 3 (56:43):
I'm i hotter.
Speaker 2 (56:44):
I get anything out wrong.
Speaker 5 (56:46):
This is my world.
Speaker 1 (56:47):
I make big moves in my big hues. Since I
take there I was born, I've been a big tw
Well, you can always tell that I'm tired because I'm
my my voice is like seven octaves lower.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
You're like, I'm like, it's you're giving me. I'm giving
you octave.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
No, it was gonna say. It wasn't the word I
was gonna use. I was gonna say, you're giving, You're
giving Austin.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Yeah, you know, yeah, like, oh, they call that, they
call that vocal fry.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Vocal fry.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
That's yeah, yeah, Quinn.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Yeah, am I hot?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I get anything I want?
Speaker 1 (00:36):
This is my world. I make big moves in my
big hue. Since the day there I was born. I
made a big too. So yeah, I'm in Vegas and
it's really hot in this room. It's hot outside. I'm
sweating already. I've been in here four minutes. My hotel's excellent.
I've gone to the same place over and over again, really, and.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
It's my ego.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
And there's a very hot bartender who's been flirting with me.
And I think I might have told you this, Sarah,
but I've gotten to the point in my age where
I'm like, oh, I think he's just doing it to humor.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
I think you left out the very hot part. You
just said there was a bartender flirting.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Well, that's yeah, it's very.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Hot bartender flirting with you. It's a different context.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Why is that because you feel like Tristan might actually
be in the right She might this person, Yeah, might be,
it might be alone.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Yeah, it's totally fake. It's totally fake. And I'm like,
I'm just a cougar now, and and they just want
a bigger tip, which I am not giving them. So
I'm ordering my little arugula salad and my waters and
I'm taking the flirting to go and just knowing that
it's not genuine in any way.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I'm sorry to hear. I don't think. I don't think
much of Vegas is genuine to be fair.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Well, when I was in my twenties, if someone was
flirting with me, i'd be pretty certain that they were
trying to smash. And now I'm like, oh, maybe, because
I'm almost forty and I don't know how I look.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
I don't know if I look forty or not, but
I'm hoping not.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
But either way, solo girl, solo woman at the bar
just is like cougar central. It's really just I'm detaching
from society central.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
I don't know. What do you think You're not?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
You don't. You don't seem that like I'm used by
the story. Honestly, I thought you would find well.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
I think it's because I've already heard the story too.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
See, this is why I can't tell you stuff. I
shouldn't tell you stuff. We'll just not talk until this show.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
How about that?
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I told you, Sarah, I'm in a bad fucking mood. Okay,
So why don't you laugh at my corner? You've already
heard you didn't? You didn't. I was up. I was
up till two am, grinding for the Daily Wal. I
was telling everyone met Ashley Battle of assistant coach to
the Celtics, friend of the pod, friend of our network.
(03:01):
She's gonna come on the show. She texted me this morning.
She's really interested in coming on. She also is the
I don't know if she does play by player or color,
but I bet she does color for the Connecticut Sun
and she knows that they're ass cheeks. But we'll make
sure she doesn't have to talk about that. So yeah,
I was literally just talking to everyone I could about
my new hour, new project. And now I told you
(03:24):
I'm in a bad but I don't have any sleep
and you're just fucking not helping at all.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
So how about you help?
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Oh, I'm just trying to get you to laugh.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
No, no, I'm trying to get you to laugh.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Oh, you can't.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Get me to laugh. We've already established you're not honey.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I can't whoa. I'm just taking shots here for no reason.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
I'm sweating. I'm sweating. Can we get this show on
the road.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
We get this show on the road in.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Welcome to Let Her Shoot. The only podcast that covers
women's sports the way that we want them cover, which
means no bullshit, no kid gloves. I'm not even going
to play play any sort of nicey, nicey. I'm not
feeling good, so you're gonna get the real meat today.
Just respect for athletes and not Sarah. All the reasons
to stay locked in. Sarah Chovnik, two time Emmy Award
(04:12):
winning producer. She's hanging on by a thread right now
that the Emmys are keeping her alive. Trista Crick, zero
time Emmy Award winning talent. Today, we have a great show.
Love Island finale has has happened. We talked about so
much Love Island, the athletes that are coming on our
pod think that it's a Love Island pod.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
We're talking about that.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Of course, we're gonna talk about Angel Reese and some
of her just in the news stuff like always she's
on the two Cake cover. We're gonna talk about this
athletic anonymous player poll for the w NBA gives him
love to Tina Charles, and obviously talk.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
About Wimbledon in a lot lot more.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Speaking of Love Island.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
How do you put a fake relationship to the finale
that was basically on It was literally hanging on a
thread when they before the finale, two episodes before the
finale where Chris was ready to be done.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Well that relationship, I thought you, yes, I thought you
met Nicolandria for a second.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
No, Hunt and Chris were fake. They didn't really even
like each other. They were there for two seconds and
a cup of coffee A's and Shelley Shelle Ace was
day one OG. And I think fans who are very
similar to WNBA new w NBA fans, which basically just
the worst, uninformed. And I know I'm a very nude
(05:35):
Love Island fan, but I've also gone back and watched
previous seasons and I watched the best season of Love
Island UK with Adam Collard back like a few years ago.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
You love holding onto that one?
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Why what's wrong with that?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I don't know you just anytime we talk about Love Island, like,
you brought up that you watched that season and I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
That's before I that's before I knew you. So you
can't take credit for for it.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Oh okay, that's that's what it is. So I don't
really know. It's a great question. I don't know how
they got through. I did absolutely love the moment where
she asked if he was going to carry her back
through the water and he said, I'm not knowing you.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
That's rough.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
That's rough. I mean you carried her there. He's getting
crushed on, he's getting crushed online. If you didn't watch it,
I even if you don't know what's going on, that
scene itself is just cringe cringe cinema, where there's crying,
there's emotional withdrawals, there's avoidance.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
The timing of the singer, Oh yeah, it was quite
possibly one of the most comedic timed moments she's in
the history of the show. We've got entertainment, he said,
so do you want to break up or not? And
then and from the side, a woman comes in and
starts singing.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
I s her just kind of like walking by in
the red dress, And I was like, was that on purpose?
Was it? Were they not supposed to have someone in
the background. Maybe you should just nixon, Hey, ni kidding?
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Singer?
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Are you kidding? The producers went, now, go now. Now
they were listening to that and they were waiting for
the moment to queue cue the singer Love Island though
is over, which is a bummer. So now we have
to move on something else.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
And I'm not getting in a Big Brother.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
If you think we're talking about Big Brother every day,
I might get into Big Brother.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
So there's two people that I are sports people, so
that's why I'm rooting for them. One is a former
track star and like she was talking on the live
feeds about how her dream is to be a is
to do exactly what we're doing here right now. Like
at one point she was like, I don't know if
I could. Her name is Morgan. She said, I don't
know if I could be a sports podcaster or a
sports commentator because I just like I watch games and
(07:52):
I'm like what the fuck are you doing? And I
was like, she belongs on lettershoot, that's where she belongs.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
She belongs on the daily WNT work.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
She's a big volleyball in track and field. So you
know that's two things we are missing.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
So we are definitely definitely missing that.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
And then there's there's another guy named Will who's a
down Stay super fan and he has a podcast about
the South Carolina game Cocks, which I justin.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Does he have does he have an accent?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Well, he's like an older Southern man from South Carolina,
so like yes, but I wouldn't say it's like a
thick a thick accent South Carolina.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
You are supposed to tell me something about your life
that was like good for our audience to know about you.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Do you have anything like that?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
How is the craboil the crab the Well, it wasn't
a crab boil. It's not what we call it here.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
But what do you call it?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Just getting crabs get cra You don't call it a
crab boil. No, you don't boil the crab like I mean,
you steam them, but no crawfish boil in the South.
But Maryland, boy, Yeah, in Maryland it's just let me
tell you. My whole family is like sitting there putting
their gloves on, and I'm just like, then I have
to run a tutorial about how to do it because
(09:11):
no one else knows how to do it.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
And I'm like, how did Sam do with it?
Speaker 3 (09:14):
How is her?
Speaker 1 (09:15):
She's a Canadian and she probably doesn't need a lot
of crabs, and uh so how was she at it?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
I mean, it was a lot of can you help
me open this?
Speaker 3 (09:26):
There was whispers.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
There's there's a lot of whispers.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
A lot of girls say you better if you want
my help, you better say it with your full chest.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
She would always go, or she would like point at
something and be like, can you take the guts out
of this? And I would just take it.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
But you know, you're a man in the relationship.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
You you I fear for your nails. If you ever
tried to open.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Crabs, well, I wouldn't. I mean it, they wouldn't know.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
You'd have to. They'd have to having someone.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
I have, like a man servant or a woman servant
come up and just, you know, just do it for you,
Just do it for me.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Yeah, just maybe even.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Happy to teach you how to how to eat them.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
I mean, it's a lot of doughnut how to open.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
But that's part of the experience. You have to open
them to eat them.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
It fun if someone just gives you the meat. Yes,
it is fun if someone.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Just gives you the meat.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
I'm feeling better already.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
We have a guest. By the way, since Olie's not here,
we have a cat.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Do you have a new cat? Olie is here?
Speaker 3 (10:36):
I have Ali here.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
He probably you just mind over. Yeah, I had to
bring him. So we have a viewer question, Sarah, are
you ready?
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I am.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
This one's deep.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
This one's like very what do they say about like philosophical?
Very very, like into your inner soul? Are you ready
to get into your inner soul? How? How, Sarah, did
you get into working women's sports? And I know it's
a long, circuitous route. Oh well, so.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Keep it short.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
How I got into women's sports? So I came from equestrian.
I was a equestrian.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Okay, I already know this is too long.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
I already know this is.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Just all right.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
How did I get into women's sports? I worked at
Golf Channel out of college. I was there for you
can escape past.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
The local news part where you were like.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Well, you told me I was taking too long.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Well, going back to the equestrian it's probably a little.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Too far back. I mean that's like two steps before
the NBC thing. But that's fine. We could have gotten
there by now.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
That's what my mom always does to me when I
call her out on her bushes. She's like, we could
already been past this by now. I'm like, we could
have already been passed. I know we could not have.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
So anyway, you made in journalism in school, I.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Measured and I went to Alabama majored in journalism and
really wanted to work. I came from a sports background
and really wanted to work in sports. At the time,
I thought the only job for women in sports was
to be a sideline reporter, because this was two thousand
and eight, two thousand and nine, you know, and.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Sidelines reporter propaganda back then was.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Strong, strong, super strong. You had like, you know, Aaron
Andrews was like the end all be all to women's sports,
or I'm sorry, not women's sports, but like working women,
working women in sports, correct, and so like, if you
wanted to be a women, a woman in sports, you
had to be Aeron Andrews. Like there was no other option,
(12:42):
and so I thought my only option was to be
on camera, and I learned pretty quickly. I went I
realized I didn't want to be on camera. I worked
in local news, realized that pretty quickly and decided to
go the producer route. Got a job at NBC was
Golf Channel. NBC was there for taking me.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Did you know somebody at NBC. How did you get
into NBC?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Yeah, so my the local news station that I worked at.
The program director that worked there was college roommates with
from Alabama with a guy that worked at NBC, and
he came in on like family weekend or something like
(13:28):
a week before I graduated from college, and we got
to talking and I was like, yeah, I really want
to be in sports, and he goes, well, do you
know much about golf? And I said not really, So
he was like, hey, I will be I'll do you
want to come work at Golf Channel?
Speaker 3 (13:42):
And I said, just as easy as that.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
They just brought me in and I worked my way
up into the features unit from the news unit and
started doing docs and from there realized how underserved the
women's sports world was. Working with LPGA and period.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
My story is way too long.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
How about we do my story next episode.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
I mean, that's pretty that has to pay off.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
There's just too much paint.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
All right, all right, all right, played basketball growing up.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
I you just told me that stories from the nineties
are too far in the past, and then you immediately
start with when I was a child. What the fuck?
Your story's longer than my story. Mine's a pretty straight line.
And then you go back to, like the way fucking
(14:40):
beginning you said, no one gives a shit about your life.
I was just fucking what she said.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
I knew you were gonna say that. That's right. I
did it. I got involved in men's sports, on a
long journey m sports, started in finance.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Hated it again, same thing.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Sideline reporting was the thing I thought was the only
thing that I could do. But as you guys can see,
you know, eleven seconds with coach tell us what you
learned in the first half was just not going to
cut it for me. I could probably have stomached it
for one year, maybe less, and then I would have
been like, but coach, don't you think that I would
(15:26):
have been an editorializing They would have given me the hook.
So I knew pretty fast that I had to do
something with an opinion because I can't keep my opinion
to myself. So tucking. When I went to this digital
media network which cannot be named, that's when I the
(15:47):
you don't want to name it, it's a nope, I don't.
So anyway, I was there. I don't want to turn
any of our viewers off. You can google it yourself,
you know, but don't judge me.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
And so I was there, and the I was there
at Voldemort stool and old a stool stool.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
That's how we're going to refer to it from now on.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Stool. So the women's bubble was happening.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Do you hear that? Yeah, continue, I'm listening. Something is
falling apart outside, but I'm here. I'm locked in.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
You're locked in, well, but I'm I locked in.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
I don't know what's going on out there, but I'm
very distracted.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Now, Okay, So I'm as oldest stool and I started
betting on the w NBA and writing about it and
blogging about it, and then was like, Wow, nobody's doing this.
You can't even find out what what these players are
doing if they're injured. Where they went Britney grinder left
the bubble.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
We still don't know why or.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
When she just disappeared, And so over time I felt
like the women's side of the game had just a
huge opportunity. I got much more interested in women's college
basketball really through Page and Asy. This is long before Caitlyn.
Caitlyn's freshman year. She didn't even really like she was
just kind of a blip in the radar, like some
(17:20):
girl from Iowa who's making thirty footers and scoring thirty
So yeah, So I just decided when I left about
us last summer that I wanted to do this full time.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
How was that was that too long?
Speaker 2 (17:33):
I mean it was it was long, But we would
our viewers would rather listen to you ramble than me ramble,
so we'll take it.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Why why do you think that because you're not a
good rambler?
Speaker 2 (17:45):
That felt like an attack? No, I mean I think
just in general, you're the talent.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
So are you?
Speaker 3 (17:51):
You're yeah, as the talent now, But as.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
I said earlier, I never planned on being talent.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
And now here you are, and now here I am.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Yo. We gotta thank our first sponsor, Fukes Financial, a
financial advisory that helps real people plan for achievable retirements.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Ben is a real one, by the way, Go and
follow him on his YouTube.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
There's no scripts, there's no sales pitch.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
He just gives you some advice that you can use.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Fukes financial plannings without pressure. I like that.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
We got some teeth.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Yeah, let's do this. I'm already starting to get annoyed
with you, so with me just kidding?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
What am I doing? Two K cover came out and
Angel Reese she debuted as the NBA two K cover
at the same time.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
She debuted a new shoe WNBA cover.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Anything to do with Angel Reese is going to trigger
an entire group of fans that get their pitchforks out,
their torches lit, and march to the comment section where
they go to war, including but not limited to, there
was a tweet that went viral. Someone photoshopped the two
(19:12):
K cover with like, I can't even be I'm not
even sure exactly what kind of monkey it was.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
It was a chimp.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
I think it was a chimp.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
And then RG three, who is Robert Griffin third? If
you don't follow the m sports, he was a bust
of a quarterback.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Ruined the Washington franchise.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
As we know it just a general cornball decides to
then somehow both defend her and use that image and
spread it more and also attack her at.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
The same time in this post that he puts on Twitter,
and I'm gonna tell you, I read it like three
times and I still did not understand what point he
was trying to make.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
It was like when people have a point that they
feel like they've been wanting to get off their chest
for a while, you know, and then any if there's
an opening, boy, they're going to use that opportunity to
get that point across, which is that he feels that
Angel Reese hates Caitlyn Clark, and he's going to continue
to use every opportunity that he can to screen that
(20:15):
from the rafters and say he's not wrong because he
got crushed by men's media that covered the NFL.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
They crushed him on this same take, and he even
went around it.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
He's like, this is so awful and disgusting that someone
would post this. We should never do that. But also
I said that Angel Reese hates Caitlin Clark, and I
stand by the hats and her. Somebody from her inner
circle reached out to me and said that I was
one hundred percent right and that she does hate Caitlin.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
And then Angel came back and was like, Yo, this
is crazy, cap, this is insane. Just lies about me lives.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
It's at the moment of recording this post this picture
that he posts, which it's as bad as you think
it is when I tell you that it's a a
chimp in a in the Jersey. So we post this.
It has eight point eight million views right now.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
I did not know that eight point eight million views
that he posts us so so where it was a
it was a response like someone posted it as like
a response on a comment that probably would have gotten
fifty eight views right like it would have never gotten
out into the world.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
But now this guy has put it out there. He
posts this thing and then he goes, I have been
quiet on the Angel reesfront, which, by the way, no
he hasn't. We has not been quiet on the Agel reesefront.
And then he immediately goes to say because she shared
a video she shared like immediate finger pointing, she shared
a video that aided in my wife, kid's family and
(21:48):
friends receiving death threats.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
What was that video?
Speaker 2 (21:52):
I don't know was it when she reshared the video
of him like with the with this that was like
the whole like get out video that you were talking about,
Like his wife was behind him and he was making
all those comments.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Well, but that's his video.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
That's his video he posted.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
So I don't and he says that will never be
okay with me. I never attacked her or her family
when I stated and backed up with clear basketball evidence
that Angel hates Caitlin.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Clark by the way, by the way, by the way,
by the way narrative. Still by the way, by the way,
there are no basketball analytics that proves hate doesn't exist.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Because she got x amount of rebounds that that means
she hates Kitlin Clark. What stats are you pulling to
show that she hates Kitlin Clark? That doesn't there's no
stats you're right, like you can pull. So then he
goes on. So it was about that whole back and
forth about the monkey sound thing, and that was the
whole and Angel Reese reposted one of Ryan Clark's rebuttals
(22:50):
and apparently that is what targeted on his family, maybe like,
don't make that comment. And then he said some people
made it about race, but I never did. And then
he host the image of the monkey.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Like it's just like.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
I'm just being that. It's just imagine being that like
delusional in how you think you come off as something,
and like because he can sit there, I just cannot
under I cannot fathom what RG three is thinking. Cannot fathom.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
This is like RG three is kind of like when
there's an advertising agency that comes out with a very
tone deaf, like a racially tone deaf commercial, like when
it was like when it was Yes, when it was like,
you know, the one of the Jenners or whatever was the.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Exact one that i'd jennerst.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
The Kendall Jenner's like going through the ice raids or whatever,
like it's martial law, but she's got the pepsi. Anyway,
that's RG three on Twitter. That's no. It's like, oh,
you clearly didn't have any people of color around in
this decision making. Otherwise people in the room would have
told you this is a bad idea. And to that
(24:03):
I say the same things like where where is RG
three's support? So yeah, where are his black friends at
that tells him, Hey, this is don't do this, this
is horrible. You should delete this. Like I have people
in my life. That'll be like, you should delete this
right now.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
He was not worth it.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
You should delete this.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
I would you never post that.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
No, you wouldn't, but I would tell you.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
But yeah, I have people who would be like, hey,
you can't. You got to delete that right the second
I saw that before. And his wife is like clearly
egging him on along the way. She's like eating the
popcorn and the couch when he's giving his stupid takes.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
It's just so dumb.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
I don't even want to talk about RG three because
he's a man and this is a woman's podcast, So.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Let's not talk about RG three anymore. Let's talk more
about the Sky who beat Minnesota this week, which probably
shocked a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
They were eleven and a half point underdogs and they
beat them by six.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
And but the highlight was the social media post that
came out immediately.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Afterwards that was incredible, the picture of the sky and
it just said.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Y'all ain't beat Chicago question mark.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
It goes back to when the stud Buds interviewed Djona
Carrington and they were asking who the Wings had beaten
and they were like, well, we've beaten the Connecticut Sun
and They're like, y'all ain't beat Chicago.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
It's like, no, we've we've lost to Chicago.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Y'all ain't beat Chicago. That's crazy. So the Chicago Sky
Twitter account just dot dot dot y'all ain't beat Chicago
question mark, that is what. And the stud Buds obviously
are Minnesota Links players, so it goes full circle. They
play again tonight we have a rematch uh in Chicago. Again,
(25:57):
the Sky are ten point under. So the world still
doesn't believe Vegas doesn't believe that that was a real victory.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
But what I will say about this.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
And I posted this online, Angel Reach just looks much
better even if you're not a basketball fan.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
She just looks much more comfortable, and not just as
a rebounder, but as a scorer.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
As I saw her go right at in the Visa
collier just dead end in the keys of in the
Visa collier's chest and then use really good footwork, spin
move kind of things that I would imagine based on
what I know about a Visa collier is like part
of the FISA collier's bag. She just dipped it in
a visa caller's bag, stole a lipstick out, put it
(26:38):
on her lips and hit the MIDI right in a
FISA's face. So I think what you're seeing from the
Sky is a turnaround. They've covered I know that we
don't talk about betting on the show, but they've covered
eight straight games in a row, which means they just
outperformed expectations every game. Angels averaging eighteen and ten eighteen
points per game for a player that has no offensive bag,
as per the trolls, is crazy. And she's outpacing pretty
(27:02):
much every single WNBA player in rebounding. Just on the
defensive rebound side alone, she has one hundred and seventy
six defensive rebounds, which may mean nothing to you, but
like she's got that's more than every single player in
the league but two in terms of their total rebounds
for the year. So it's been really interesting to see
the sky start to come along and guess what and
(27:23):
guess what, Guess what, Sarah, guess what.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
I don't know what.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Haley van Lift not playing No I saw dude, did
not play coaches decision, and shockingly they got the dub.
Don't I don't mean I don't mean that in a
mean way, Like I'm not dancing on the grave. I'm
just saying. And I was talking about this with people
last night in Vegas that are on the women's side,
(27:48):
and I said, Haley Van, look getting some dmpcds and
they go, It's almost like, you know that comment that
Angel made, isn't that wrong?
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Do you think by the way you brought this up?
Is it kind of weird that they're playing back to
back games sky on Minnesota?
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Yeah, this schedule is weird.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
They've played They've actually played Minnesota one other time, like
a week ago, so this will be three games in
three games in ten days. They played on the sixth,
the twelfth, and now the fourteenth.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
That's weird.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
It is weird. That would never happen on the m side.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Never. So the Athletic had an anonymous player pole come out,
which I absolutely love those.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Did you see that?
Speaker 1 (28:29):
I did.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
I'm kind of disappointed though that they only released two
to start like that they've like teased. I mean, I
get it why they do it, because it's like, I'm
gonna keep going back every day to check the rest
of them.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Are they?
Speaker 2 (28:41):
I mean, I am. I want to know you do.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
I'll see it on social media.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
I'm not going to the athletic anonymous player poll online
every day and log it out of my New York
Times account that they keep trying, and they keep trying
to get me to buy the cooking side or the
lifestyle side. No, bitch, I just want to see what's
happening in the sports. I don't care about New York
Times right now. It's all doom and gloom.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
There's no no.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Brushetta recipes, not enough of those that you could give
me brusque. There's no leak hold leak recipes enough that
you could get me. We'll pay more, give pay more
money for your fancy ass newspaper.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
They do it every time. Have you seen that? Do
you know that?
Speaker 1 (29:21):
You? Have you noticed that?
Speaker 2 (29:22):
I mean no, I haven't noticed that, grifters. But I
do enjoy cooking on like you do, so I would
probably enjoy the New York Times cooking you don't.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Oh my god, that's just one of the most lay
up ridiculous comments that you can make because you don't
follow recipes. What do you need a recipe thing for
if you don't use recipes ideas?
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Okay, all right, okay, So the player poll comes out
best player and biggest trash Talker were the two poles
that were released. Fee was kind of like an overwhelming
It was like a arming amount of votes Scott for
best Player, which is not surprising, but that's.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Actually a little bit low key surprising because yeah, because
not every MVP runaway is considered to be the best
player in the league. So for example, in the men's game,
Shay Giligis Alexander was a runaway MVP winner, But if
you pulled players, everybody would say Nicola Jokic is the
(30:25):
best player in the league. But because of voter fatigue,
because of you know, the team's success or lack thereof,
for Denver, he doesn't get the award. So but in
this case, because he is having an MVP year. And
Asia Wilson, who actually had an awesome game against the
Valkyrize this weekend which I forgot to go to, which
(30:47):
I was supposed to go to, and I just totally
spaced it.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Because I'm in Vegas, and.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
I mean I knew it was happening, I just didn't
know what game it was. So again, Vegas time brain,
Vegas brains brain.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
So she crushed it.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
So but Age is not having a great, uh, the
team success isn't there, But you would imagine that she's
been considered the best player in the league for many
years now and her stats aren't really down that much.
That that's pretty shady for them to overwhelmingly say it
is fee and not her.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
It was Fie Asia and Stewie. Was that the third
one that was getting votes?
Speaker 3 (31:26):
I want to say that would make sense.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was. It was Stewie. Yes,
it was Stewie. So I mean, out of those three,
are there any left off surprises to you that? I mean,
no votes for Kaitlin Clark, which I don't think is
a surprise for anyone who's like.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Game.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Yeah, Like, I don't think anyone, but I'm sure surprising
for a lot of Kaitlyn Clark fans. Probably we'll have
a lot of feelings about that. But just to be clear,
this also was not all players voting. It's forty players
that are represented. They don't disclose how many from each team,
but they say they're represented by all teams forty players,
(32:08):
no rookies, all veterans that are playing, like all at
least in a second year of voting, So we don't
know who's voting for this and we don't know the
player reps, like, is it player captains? Is it? You know,
we have no idea, But is there any surprises that
you would have thought would be in there?
Speaker 1 (32:25):
No, I think the WNBA is very crowded at the top,
there's like three well I guess not crowded, very like
a narrow, dense sort of band of good players, and
then it falls off and then the second tier players
are much worse. I think John Quell could be up
in that category, but she's had injury issues. She's like,
(32:48):
I don't think anyone would consider her though, the best
player in the league. I think the best players in
the league are really just Angel and the FISTA call
Year and Stewie's sort of you said Angel, you mean
Asia see Vegas, Brain, Asia, Asia and Fee.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
So that is a controversial statement if you were No.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
No, No, I don't think anybody would say that. I
don't think any like second, I don't think anyone would
say that. But so No, I don't think there's anyone
that there's left that's left off of there, No guards, nothing.
I thought that the Biggest Trash Talker Award was really
interesting because I didn't realize that Alica Thomas, who is
(33:32):
constantly disrespected by the media, plays very like a physical
style of game, not that flashy, and doesn't really get
talked about at all, is considered the biggest trash talker
in the w n b A.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
There was a quote from someone that says, like she
smiles at you while she insults you. It's psychotic behavior,
which I love. That's Tim Duncan. That's what Tim Duncan
used to do. I don't know who.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Yeah, Tim, Oh well, okay, m.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Sport Anyway, I thought Marina Maybury. Marina Maybury being on
that list is crazy because her and Courtney Williams, who's
also on that list, played together on the team and
the last.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Year and we I mean, we've seen Marina in some
scuffles this year. We've seen her, you know, she's had
her She body checked Caitlin to the ground. She's also
she was a little.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Bit huge back and forth for many years with Djona.
Her and Dja would go at it, and then they
became teammates last year when she got traded to the
Connecticut Son and then they became like best friends. But
Marina's no fucking joke. Marina's having a year for a
team that's this irrelevant. The Marina and Sonaya and the
(34:50):
Son are finding ways to pop up on my feed
when it's like not anything basketball related. Her agent asked.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Me, what do I think about that content? And I said,
I like it. It's cool.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
I think it humanizes Marina. I think it makes her
more likable. I think it makes Sanaya really likable. I
like it, and he goes mm hmm, and I'm like, what,
you don't like it?
Speaker 3 (35:11):
And he's like, I just think she should be hooping
or something like that.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
No, I just don't think. I mean, I get that mentality.
I think that's a very old school mentality, though it is, like,
I just I don't think that anyone is gonna get
further in their careers without showing bits of themselves. I
just don't think. I mean, I just don't think you can't.
Rest of the rest of the ones that are gonna
(35:35):
be coming out later this week, I'm kind of anxious
to look forward to. There's like a who do you
think is going to be the face of the league
in the next five years? And I think I'm really
curious to see how the votes go on that one,
because I think there's really two ways that they can go,
three ways they can go.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
I think they're gonna say Page, do you think and
what do you think will happen if they say Paige.
I think people are gonna get mad. I think people
are gonna get mad.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Speaking of Caitlin versus Page, they played finally, Yes, we
finally saw them go head to head, which has been
a long kind of a waited week. We didn't get
it the last time these two teams played because there
was injury. There was, you know, a strained quad. So
we're we're finally got we finally got it. The Fever
(36:27):
kind of belt to ask in the second half.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
It just happened in a nowhere boy. I literally sent
a text to their group chat and I was like,
I think the Wings are going to win this game.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
And then they just never scored again. I don't think
they one more point of them.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
Yeah, twenty one point win for the Fever. But they
both had good games. I mean, Kaitlyn had fourteen points,
thirteen assists.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
I don't think that's a game for Kaitlin. That's a
bad game for j Okay. Yeah, let's I think they
build it right now.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Yeah, that's because they build everything for Kitlyn and a
good thing. They want to spin the fact that she's
she's not right and she's frustrated, and she talked about
it after the game. Like her shots, she says, feels
like it's right there and it feels good. She's not
making shots, she's chucking. There were a lot of early
chucks from deep three for both teams. Page and Caitlin
(37:19):
were just pulling up. Kelsey Mitchell was pulling up. You
had the rookies JJ Quinnerley, who by the way, got
injured a little bit, and Isiah James who played. They
played a lot and they're actually really good for the wings,
but they were pulling up from three.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
So it was an ugly watch.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
And when you shoot that much, basically when the ball
comes off the back of the rim that fast, if
you grab that in transition, that turns into easy buckets.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
Now, I was.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Switching between that and the Wimbledon Men's final, so I
didn't watch every second of this game. But yeah, I
think Caitlyn's struggling right now. She's I think she's having
a really down year and people don't really want to
talk about it, and Page is quietly having maybe a
better year than Caitlyn did last year. So that's going
(38:08):
to be a fascinating narrative to watch play out. Crazy.
The craziest thing was watching them pull up into the
tunnel against one another, because you could see so drastically
how different they are as people and just their style,
and it was just something that I've never I think
I'm done saying nothing about Caitlyn Clark's outfits.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
I cannot remain silent.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
I've stun she's being.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
Dressed for two.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
I think she's dressing herself.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
There's no way, there's no way she's dressing herself.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
She's got a Prada. Also, let's talk about Prada for
a second.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Okay, Prada like the company.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Yes, Prada is an old woman's brand, that is for
that is for someone in their late sixties. That's like
got bejeweled, Like what's your name? From El Kim Molky?
I can see Kim Molky being sponted somebody.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
It's someone who calls their bag a pocket book.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
You know, they wouldn't call it a pocketbook. The pocketbooks
would be the pocketbook. But yes, I know what you're
talking about.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
But they call them pocketbooks. They don't call them like
that's not like those are pocketbooks.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
Oh okay, no anyway saying it's so old that that's
what they would call it. Those are the type of
women who like still have checks that they write when
they go to the grocery store and they you know
what I mean, they've got they pull it out of
their product bag. They have product clothes, they've got bejeweled
blazers they wear. And so the fact that Caitlyn Clark
(39:53):
is sponsored by Prada just tells you really what time
it is for her and probably doesn't have a huge
selection of young people clothes. It'd be like if I
if probably was dressing me, what would it be for me?
I would probably look like Kaitlyn Clark and they're probably
(40:14):
paying her five MS to wear that hideous shit.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
That and why brown, brown on brown?
Speaker 1 (40:21):
And like a skirt suit combo?
Speaker 2 (40:24):
Did we learn nothing from Obama's I.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
Was just about to say that the tan suit fiasco.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
The tan suit fiasco, why aren't we retire tan suits?
Speaker 1 (40:35):
It was so bad and I think when you juxtaposed
it with Page who came in looking swaggy, cool, just
very cool, very like I'm not worried about this matchup
at all. Kaylen Clark dressed like she was a twenty
one year old going to a job interview.
Speaker 3 (40:54):
She's clearly thinking is needing to be dressed up.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
For or a forty seven year old CPA in an
end of the year meeting with her biggest client, a
skirtsuit combo.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
I'm like, girl, we're running for president? Or are we
playing basketball?
Speaker 1 (41:15):
None of it, it's just aural less. It's completely oralless.
If you didn't know what Caitlin Clark's game was like,
you would think it was the most boring game on
the planet. Based on the way she walks down in
the tunnel, you probably wouldn't even know she was. Yeah,
you would think she was like an agent or a lawyer.
She worked for the League office in the legal department.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
Yeah, it's definitely giving that.
Speaker 1 (41:38):
It's giving.
Speaker 3 (41:39):
You've been served.
Speaker 1 (41:41):
Her best friend is Tyrese Haliburton, and he dresses god
awful as well.
Speaker 3 (41:46):
I don't know what's going on in Indiana. They need
to figure it out. Boy, it's bad. It's so bad,
I figure out.
Speaker 2 (41:55):
Let's give some love to Tina Charles before we move
on to Wimbledon, who reached eight thousand career points. Very
quietly because he didn't hear anything about it.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
Yeah, I think the thing about Tina Charles is that
she's just one of the more underrated players in WNBA history.
And I think the thing that sort of pissed me
off is that she didn't get it talked about at all.
It was kind of like, there's she's been a WNBA MVP,
(42:28):
she's a nine time All Star. It's kind of like
what happened with Angel mccatry when she came on and
people just forget.
Speaker 3 (42:35):
Only she's still in the league.
Speaker 1 (42:36):
She's number one in the rebounds per game all time,
so you put this into context, and she's been in
the league for fifteen years and has that more prototypical
old school style of scoring. So she's never won a title.
That probably is another reason that she's just not talked
(42:56):
about at all. And then by the time she joined
in like stacked rosters, that was kind of she was
past her prime. So I think it's really her age
and the fact that she's not in the public sphere
with the media the same way. But she really should
be in goat conversations, but the media ties greatness a
(43:19):
lot to rings. She never had her ring, so she's
a juggernaut and she deserves her flowers. And I'm happy
to see that she's still out there doing her damn thing.
Speaker 2 (43:28):
Love it, little tennis, little winby Wimbledon final happened. We
were super excited go Poland for Amanda.
Speaker 3 (43:38):
Was that I if someone's gonna win, that's not Amanda.
A Polish woman winning it was pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (43:45):
Because you're Polish. Yep, Okay, that wasn't clear to our audience.
Speaker 1 (43:49):
So I'm Polish. I'm Polish, So I was happy for Ega.
Speaker 2 (43:54):
As a Russian, I was upset for Amanda.
Speaker 1 (43:58):
This is like what my mom says, where I was like,
I don't think you could ever talk to my mom
because she's so anti Russian. She's like, the Russians will
slit their own mother's throats for a loaf of bread.
Speaker 3 (44:09):
I'm like, Mom, I don't think you can say that.
Speaker 1 (44:13):
I don't think you can say She said, guess what
they would do for a telephone over there, I said,
well more than.
Speaker 3 (44:21):
What they would do for a loaf of bread.
Speaker 1 (44:22):
Probably anyway in Russia for a month, though, did you
for a whole month?
Speaker 2 (44:29):
A whole month? I didn't have my phone when I
was in Russia because I lost it on a bus.
Speaker 3 (44:33):
So what did you do to get in contact with people?
Speaker 2 (44:35):
Facebook? Messenger?
Speaker 3 (44:37):
Back to Wimbledon.
Speaker 1 (44:38):
So Amanda and Asamova, she's really had We've talked about
this before on the on the show, but her journey
and how much she's had to overcome and how the
trolls online got to her, and the mental health aspect
that she's had to sort of get stronger about or
(44:58):
figure out. You could just tell that after she beat
Arena Sablenka that took everything out of her. She was
spinn like that she probably should have lost Arena. Arena
was coming back figuring things out.
Speaker 3 (45:12):
She had that big.
Speaker 1 (45:13):
Screen Yeah yeah, and you're like, oh, that's the Serena scream.
She's coming for that ass. I went to the gym
to Matt Plates, which apparently you think is fucking hilarious
that I would go to because that's hilarious to me,
is like a girl sep out thing, Like what am
I doing? Just like lifting fucking big bags of barrels
of hay.
Speaker 3 (45:32):
That's what I do.
Speaker 1 (45:33):
Like a tire flipper, you see, like a crossfitter. Do
I have the body of a crossfitter?
Speaker 2 (45:38):
To you? No, you don't have the body of a crossfitter,
but you have the energy of a crossfitter. Who's gonna
tell you that they're a crossfitter all the time.
Speaker 1 (45:45):
Except for that, you've never heard me say I'm a crossfitter.
Speaker 2 (45:49):
It doesn't matter. That's just the energy that.
Speaker 3 (45:51):
You give back to Amanda.
Speaker 1 (45:53):
So I went to take my Matt Plate's class and
I came back and Amanda had beaten that ass. And
so I'm like, okay, IgA has looked a little bit shaky.
She's not good on grass. Amanda has an awesome, powerful serve,
and she just looked she just looked cooked. And I hate,
(46:13):
I hate having discussions about conditioning with women's athletes because
so much of it ties into physical.
Speaker 3 (46:21):
Appearance and like body composition.
Speaker 1 (46:24):
But she said that she needs to change how she
conditions because she now has gone the full two weeks before.
You know, she's never done that before, gone to the
gone to a Wimbledon final, and now she sees that
her body was spent because there's just just no turnaround
time between the semifinals and the finals.
Speaker 2 (46:42):
No, which I know is still back.
Speaker 1 (46:45):
She just looked out matched, she looked nervous, She looked
like sad, emotional, and to get cooked in like straight
sets six zero, six zero with the fifty six minute.
Speaker 2 (46:58):
Again, she didn't even win a game.
Speaker 1 (47:00):
She was barely winning points.
Speaker 2 (47:03):
She had a couple times where you were like, she
would get up like forty fifteen, and you'd be like, oh,
finally here, and then all of a sudden, Ego would
just bam bam bam bam bamp point ego, and you'd
be like, oh my god, how did that just happen?
And it was so quick, it was happening so fast.
I think Adrian fact check me if I'm wrong on this.
(47:23):
But she had twenty eight unforced errors, which is just
so many. And you can't I mean, you can't win
when you're hitting it into the net that much. I mean,
I think I texted you at one point and said,
I think she has faulted on every first serve. She
could not get her served down at all.
Speaker 1 (47:44):
And after the tournament was over and they were talking,
which I think, is like really interesting how they do it.
I did this.
Speaker 3 (47:51):
I don't know of any other sport that does it
this way.
Speaker 1 (47:54):
You've got the winner on one side with the mic
and the loser on the other side with the mic,
and they just talked to them both back to back,
and just the commentator the host is just standing there
in between them and it's on the loudspeaker to the crowd.
And Amanda's family had flown in for the final from
(48:16):
wherever New Jersey, like Port Township or something New Jersey,
long way to fly in for this match for her
to get just destroyed, krib stomped, And it was I
teared up listening to her tear up about her family
and how thank god they came there because if her
(48:37):
mom didn't show up, then that would have been seen
as the curse of the family not showing up, and
how Ego is just so much better than her, and
just the trials and tribulations. She just went through the
whole journey right in front of you, as you can
just see her getting emotional, and I'm like, oh my god, please.
Speaker 2 (48:57):
I felt awful for her, just because you know, you
could see the frustration on her face, and you could
see every time she would she'd have another unforced error,
she would just like her face just sort of to
look so dejected, like she was just sort of like,
I just want to get this over with I just
want to get out of here. And I felt so
(49:18):
bad for her, And I agree the whole like winner
thing at the end where they like make them do
the interviews a following, like their loss is so strange
it it's giving. And I'm gonna bring my m sport
reference up when Jordan Speith lost the Masters U and
he had to like he went on, you know, he
hit two in the water and then he had to
(49:40):
go put the jacket on. Danny Willett as like the
winner from the year before, and his face is just
like I don't want to be He's rewarding the guy
who beat him, and it's just so awkward to do,
like to make these force these I just feel like
some traditions are meant to be, like maybe we need
to not do it here.
Speaker 1 (49:58):
Yeah, And to EGA's credit though, she just looked like
she had found something that now she can take on
to her career forever. The elation on her face, the relief,
the pride.
Speaker 3 (50:16):
She was like a little kid.
Speaker 1 (50:18):
She was walking around, she did the lab multiple times.
She asked the woman, the British woman.
Speaker 3 (50:23):
That was holding her trophy for her. When she was
like doing other things.
Speaker 1 (50:26):
She went so slow putting her items back, all the
items into her bag, just relishing the moment. But she
asked the woman, are there any time constraints?
Speaker 3 (50:35):
Like do you have somewhere to be.
Speaker 1 (50:38):
You? Is there is there a time limit because I'm
thinking about really soaking this whole thing in.
Speaker 3 (50:45):
And did you see her with Yanick Cinner?
Speaker 1 (50:47):
By the way, another couple of bad outfits were her
and Yonick Center. It was almost like they just when
you go to a country club and you don't have
a blazer and so they make you put one of
theirs on. That's what they look like, Oh, you didn't
bring enough stuff for this formal event that so we
are just gonna give you our dress that's from the
(51:10):
back closet and our blazer.
Speaker 3 (51:12):
Ya I mean, everything didn't fit. So they did their
little dance. It was so cute.
Speaker 1 (51:16):
Anyway, Congratulations to Ega because if she could become a
monster on grass, completely transformed her game, did things completely differently.
Speaker 3 (51:26):
I'm not a tennis expert, but she talked.
Speaker 1 (51:27):
To a yeah, and so now she's a monster on
clay in a hard court. So if she can play
this way on grass, I don't know how you beat
her at all. And oh also also why is Coco
ranked in front of her? I like Coco, but I've
watched a lot of Cocoa, and I don't think she's
(51:48):
better than Ega.
Speaker 2 (51:50):
I mean, I don't. I have a feeling that, Just
like in golf, it probably doesn't have anything to do
with opinion. It's probably point standings and all that kind
of stuff.
Speaker 3 (52:00):
So yeah, like a ranking is just the statistical objective thing.
Speaker 2 (52:04):
I think it's just the ranking is what it is.
But it's also not indicative of who the best player
is right now necessarily. Like it's it's like with golf,
its on a two year cycle, you know, so like
someone could go like I think Nellie cord is still
ranked number one despite not having won in the last
like eighteen months, because she has such.
Speaker 3 (52:23):
A big gap on everybody else.
Speaker 2 (52:26):
Yeah, yeah, exactly that you can just like kind of
it's why Tiger was like number one for years, you know,
and never no one could ever beat him. Before we go,
I have a new sport for us to get like
super locked in on.
Speaker 1 (52:39):
By the way, so we got the Giros, all right,
we got the US Open coming up. We got in
the international break for NWSL, But that's come, a bag
is barreling down on us.
Speaker 3 (52:50):
What we got? What's the new sport we got to.
Speaker 2 (52:51):
Get to volleyball. USA volleyball has made it to the
Volleyball Nation's lead Final and finals. There's eight teams top
eight teams in the world.
Speaker 1 (53:06):
Go.
Speaker 2 (53:06):
They just played twelve games to determine if they were
going to be seated in the top eight. They just
barely snuck in number eight, So they're now the eighth seed.
They play the number one seed, which is probably not
like ideal in Italy, who went completely undefeated during their
prelim round. But in Poland starting next week.
Speaker 1 (53:25):
So poll l In, poll Lin, poll Lint pol Lin.
Speaker 2 (53:30):
I love what I can get into some volleyball.
Speaker 1 (53:33):
I met a former pro volleyball player man, and he
was telling me how huge women's volleyball is getting on
the college side and on the pro side, and the
beach volleyball is one of the biggest nil revenue makers
for women's athletes in the country.
Speaker 2 (53:52):
Really, yeah, I didn't know that. Have you seen, though, Like,
have you watched the Nebraska volleyball game that they do
in the football stadium.
Speaker 3 (54:00):
I haven't.
Speaker 2 (54:01):
It's insane. They sell out their football stadium for a
women's volleyball game.
Speaker 1 (54:08):
Oh I think I did see this. Actually, yes, I
did see this.
Speaker 2 (54:12):
It's insane.
Speaker 1 (54:13):
It's the popularity of it.
Speaker 3 (54:15):
I'm in.
Speaker 2 (54:16):
I can get.
Speaker 3 (54:16):
I just need to know when it's happening.
Speaker 1 (54:20):
You know, the these apps and things they don't do
a good job of just push notifications like hey this
is I missed the Valkyrie's Aces game in person because
I nobody's telling me, hey, this is happening today.
Speaker 2 (54:30):
Yeah, it's because ESPN only gives you the m sports.
Yeah that's all.
Speaker 3 (54:36):
That's our fun show. That was a fun show.
Speaker 2 (54:39):
I feel like you're lying to me.
Speaker 3 (54:41):
Don't provoke me now, Okay, I just.
Speaker 2 (54:44):
Said you said it's a fun show, after spending the
whole show telling me how annoying I was.
Speaker 1 (54:49):
I spent the first five minutes telling you you were annoying.
Then I got over it. But don't provoke me now,
I get I get my hackles back very quickly. It
was a fun show, Sarah, and we pivoted on our
little We had a guest planned and she had some
car trouble, which I am going to roast her mercilessly for,
(55:10):
Like what was going on with it?
Speaker 3 (55:13):
Is the battery dead? Do we have do we do
we have a tire?
Speaker 2 (55:18):
I wonder if I wonder? I bet you know what,
I'm curious if she's a jeep driver like me?
Speaker 1 (55:24):
Why because she's gay?
Speaker 4 (55:25):
Is that what?
Speaker 3 (55:26):
Thats like a lesbian's terroristerios Exactly.
Speaker 2 (55:29):
That's exactly what. Yeah, it's a stereotype of It's a
tease of who the of the guest is a lesbian?
Speaker 1 (55:34):
A lesbian an athlete.
Speaker 3 (55:36):
That's a lesbian who plays soccer.
Speaker 2 (55:38):
An athlete, that's a lesbian that plays soccer. We're hoping
to get on our show later this week.
Speaker 1 (55:44):
Yeah, she's she's was terrified thinking that this was a
Love Island show, and she still agreed to do it,
and then was like, hey, wait is it?
Speaker 3 (55:51):
But you know what about Love Island?
Speaker 1 (55:52):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (55:54):
I do love the fact that she like agreed to
it without even doing what the show was about. She
was just like, yeah, wait, it's about Love Island.
Speaker 1 (56:02):
There's a right or die. Like, By the way, I
told you guys, I don't watch Love Island, so I
hope this isn't about it.
Speaker 2 (56:07):
By the way, I don't watch Love Island.
Speaker 1 (56:08):
