Speaker 1 (00:00):
Give me that news quickie, boyd, do we have some
news here? For the third time? Last night, this happened
at a w NBA game.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Are you ready? Before half time? I looked out something
just came up to the pool.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Object just as the free throw was being looked like that?
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Did a player too?
Speaker 1 (00:30):
No, it's her name Cunningham or Sophie Cunningham. Yeah, she y'all.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Know her whole crazy story. M M.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
She's like, she's a tall blonde and she was playing
in Phoenix and there was this horrible rumor that she
was having an affair with the owner the GM I
think of the owner's son or whatever. And then she
got traded and she went and played on Kaitlyn Clark's team,
and then when all these gallas started beating up Kaitlyn Clark,
she became the muscle. So she's got a whole like
(00:59):
social meet like my daughter who doesn't follow the w
NBA knows who.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
She's kind of cute, right, Yeah, she's cute very much. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
So so she got drilled by and it's again it's green,
it's a green.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
And I mean, did she like follow when it hit her? Well,
you know what happened.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
I mean, it's the same size that they've they've all
been is it size or not? Nothing's crily size. Did
you say she fell on it? No, no, just hit her.
And then Kelsey Plumb, who was uh with Darren Waller
for a while the nude Dolphins died in Okay. She
is pissed about it because this is clearly a w
(01:39):
NBA storyline right now. In fact, it's covered up their
All Star game past what you owst and it's now
a rubber thing getting thrown onto the court.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
So those bool initiatives.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
It's something that you might find a new Fine Arts
or something like that for those that don't know. And
Kelsey Plum is pissed and she doesn't kick it, so
it's that kind of the free throw liner area and
she kicks it, so it goes right into that area
where all the photographers are right underneath the basket on
the ground, and they're all they all kind of jump back,
and then no one is picking it up with their
bare hand. They're always getting a towel to cover it up.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
You why not because it might not be new. Oh
it could be used. I picked it up with my mouth.
How did somebody smuggle it? In there.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Well, that's interesting now because the first one from last
week that person did get did get arrested, so they
got in trouble.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
And I do want to say this, In any other
sport or whatever, you throw something on the field, it's
a horrible thing and everyone's admonished. But because this is
a sex toy, we're kind of laughing about it. But
this is so very wrong.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
It's so and I'm annoyed for them. I'm annoyed that
Christina has to be annoyed for them.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
We're finally gaining some traction and people have to throw
these things on the court constantly.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Because it's funny so much of the traction.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Are you talking about women in general or the w WNBA?
Speaker 1 (03:00):
You like, can you imagine this happened in an NBA
game multiple times?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
It wouldn't would not even happen.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
I'd like to see it happen. The w NBA, though,
is a bit of a mess. It's the way that
they attack Caitlin Clark and it's there's so much jealousy
and all this stuff. It's like there's a lot of
pettiness and nastiness and it's like a lot of self
inflicted wounds like as they try to grow, and it's
like there's so much infighting and jealousy over her that
(03:26):
it's a little bit out of control.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
It's pretty gross. Really.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Their biggest problem is she's got two sore groins and
can't play.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
It's a self inflicted womb.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Yeah, and my first instinct is to agree with you
on that, But then more I thought about it, this
is pretty great if she can just kind of be
the heel for now they've if they've made her the villain.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
This just depends on the perspective.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Ye.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Yes, this is why it's great.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
This is there's a little wrestling to it, right, Yeah,
this is why it is great for the league because
there is so much chatter about it, and it's like
we always talk about this. It's the Jerry Jones things like,
all right, well they're at least they're talking about us.
We're eighteen months removed from people not talking about the
w NBA.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
To me, it's a bad look.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
They could handle it in such a different way, but
to have there'd be so much negativity and bitterness and
jealousy over her, right when the sport could be taking
off because of what she's contributing to it.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
It's just to me, it's it's all gross.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
It's just while the lead WNBA story on the athletic
third WNBA game interrupted by a sex toy, what are
players and coaches saying? And they're all saying, what's terrible?
This doesn't need to happen. How are they getting those
end because security is tight in these arenas.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Oh, you can just put it in your pants. No
one's gonna go, my god, look at that guy.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
And uh, that's what I'm saying. That's why you use gloves.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Yeah, because it's dude, it's you just you just tack
it down your pants. If someone notices, they're like that
guy is hung, or that gal is hung.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Or there's oorphices, I guess that could be. That's what
I'm saying. That's why you need gloves. Yeah. Have you
guys heard of BJ's Yo not familiar. Maybe in my
early years when.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
You used to go to that restaurant more frequently. I've
just been married for so long. We don't go to
that restaurant, breef we anymore. Yeah, No, not the restaurant.
Oh oh yeah, BJ's No, it's not the restaurant during
the courtship.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
What's courtship when a couple of bros just end up
being bros?
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Yeah, friendship, Oh, bros get to know each other better.
It's like false advertising. You can have this the rest
of your life.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Stuff.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Okay, BJ's Wholesale Club broke ground Tuesday in Fort Worth.
It'll be the companies first in Texas. They're gonna build
four of these. This is like an alternative to Sam's
or Costco.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
I got a Costco at the end of my block
going in, and I just really want my life to.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Just end nicely right now. Too much traffic, God, I thought.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
I mean, there's only one way of Stacy that I
could exit to get out of my neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Now it's there, I'm just blocked in. Yeah, that Costco
is going to be packed twenty four seconds. Just run me.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Yeah, but dude, I don't go very often, Like I
only go once every like four years or something.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
And when I go, I have so much fun. I'm like,
this is bad ass. The store rocks. I pay for this,
It's incredible.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
BJ says that they consistently offered twenty five percent or
more savings on a representative basket of manufacturer branding groceries
compared to traditional supermarket competitors.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
So come to BJS.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
So go to BJ's and for worth the new thing.
I'd never heard of them, and I thought the story.
It's one hundred and six thousand square foot store. Wow,
apparently a big deal. And they're getting four of these
in Texas. Hell yeah, all right, there you have it.
A man on the BJ beat has some BJ news
