Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome backs of all everybody. Just another update for you.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Please avoid the northbound lanes of two seventy at the
one sixty one westbound bridge lanes there. All of them
are closed down and we'll be closed for quite a while.
Eighty four hundred gallons of gas burning after a tanker
truck flipped on its side and then exploded.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
No way, it's on east side because seventies told.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
Me westbound though it's the westbound.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
It's the westbound on ramp to one sixty one on
the east side, north of east and south of Westerville.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
But around the eastern area.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Yeah, you see.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
Yeah, we want you go by Eastern on your left
you're on northbound and you go about another I guarantee
it's backed up. Wad maybe.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
They said the lanes are going to be closed all
day today. We'll see how long it takes. They said
the bridge is completely like just gone. I have to
rebuild that all over again. But the driver was taken
to the hospital of the tanker truck and stable condition.
There was something else that I wanted to bring up
because you talked about last week, you talked about for
the first time ever, you watched a WNBA game because
you didn't wanted to watch Kitlyn Clark. Well, did you

(01:01):
see what exploded in itself on court during one.

Speaker 4 (01:05):
Of the games.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Yeah, So there was another player of an opposing team
playing against Caitlyn Clark's team. That player was Ohio State's
former J. C. Sheldon, who poked Caitlyn Clark in the eye.
This was right toward the very end of the game.
And then she was driving to the basket.

Speaker 4 (01:22):
J C.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Sheldon, former Buckeye and one of Caitlyn Clark's teammates, basically
just takes her and throws her down to the court.
She gets suspended. But then her name is Sophia Cunningham,
This player of Caitlyn Clark's who defended Caitlyn Clark. She
has exploded in itself on social media. She's become a
household name for defending Caitlyn Clark. I mean to tell

(01:45):
you her social media has just gone from okay to huge.
So a reporter was asking her about that situation. Here's
what she had to say. Go ahead, Chris, play that
sound from Sophia Cunningham, teammate of Katelin Clark.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Can you turn it up? It's really low?

Speaker 4 (02:02):
Chris, Oh, Oh, you know what, I'm just gonna be be.
I don't go in there trying to predetermine anything. You know,
I'm douded. I need to focus on hitting my shots,
making sure I'm executing the schemes right. I'm not focused
on the extra curricular activities. And you know what, during that,
it was just.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Part of the game.

Speaker 4 (02:20):
I think the rest had a lot to do with that.
It was a build up for a couple of years
now of them just not not protecting, you know, the
star player of the WNBA. And so at the end
of the day, I'm going to protect my teammates. That's
what I do and I'm a team player.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
So good answer?

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Was that awesome?

Speaker 2 (02:35):
But she called out the rest basically, listen, I'm tired
of you guys letting all this stuff happen against Caitlin
Clark up.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
I'll take my own stance against it.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Why is it?

Speaker 1 (02:44):
And now she's a hero like people love her right now.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
You know, we live in a world where we try
not to use color on everything. But for some reason,
well she's a white girl on that and we're going
to take her out and even the left is picking
on her. How about she's a basketball player who cares
what color she is.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
I'm so tired of it. Yeah, dis respect again.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
She shoot street points better than most guys I've played
again by far. And then now they're saying that lady
was in Russia that we got back. Now she's now
she won't kneel for the anthem?

Speaker 2 (03:09):
What was the grime?

Speaker 3 (03:11):
They're saying they they're wanting her to do a DNA
test because there the rumors on social media her interview. No,
did she answer that.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
No, I'm just saying she sounds yeah, she.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
Sounds like but that's okay, Maybe she's duty I don't care.
What again if she passed her DNA test, if that's
even true, it's a bunch of malarkey social media.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
All of this stuff happening with Caitlyn Clark. It has
made people want to watch the w because of that.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
She's better than Lebron James. Lebron James gets touched and
he cries for ten minutes, rolls around like a flopping
fish on the side of a.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
Caitlyn Clark's teammate is Sofia Cunningham has gotten so big.
Just put in Sophia on a Google search. Cunningham comes
up more than anything. So I like that though you
stand up, you do the right thing. You got to
protect a teammate. And now she is basically a sports
American hero, at least the WNBA. And she's well known
now more than ever before.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
That's her last name, Cunning him Cunning. He just put Sophia.
See wow, cute girl.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Right yeah, And she went on record saying, no, Caitlin
Clark and I are not girlfriends. But I don't date
guys right now. I'm just too busy.

Speaker 4 (04:16):
People who know that.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
Is no, I'm not dating talk basketball. Yeah, exactly, you guys.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
Dating each other. Someone really asked her that who cares?
If they were, who cares?

Speaker 2 (04:27):
Don't care?

Speaker 3 (04:28):
How many three points did you hit?

Speaker 2 (04:29):
My husband told me that, I'm like, really that was
brought up. I couldn't even believe that they had.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
