Speaker 1 (00:00):
But I'm just saying when you're not getting what you
want with like playing time and stuff like that, like
sometimes you just got to go through the shit in
order to be the shit.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Is that a bar those scooter? I guess, pardon me
if I'm distracted for a little bit. I need our
Atlanta Falcons to beat the Buffalo Bills, and they're up
(00:30):
a touchdown with the ball, So fingers, do you need.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
It because you have money on it? Or why do
you need it?
Speaker 3 (00:36):
No?
Speaker 4 (00:37):
I'm this could be a whole podcast episode.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I can't believe that I'm going to get on a
soapbox eight seconds into this episode.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
But I'm a football purist.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I can't fucking stand people go to bars, watch games,
talk about their fantasy teams and their bets. I'm rooting
for the Falcons. I want the Bills to lose because
it benefits the Chiefs in the AFC. That's all I
care about. I want the Chiefs do well. Has nothing
to do with money or fantasy and people who be like,
oh oop, the Chiefs win, but have priv Lawrence and
(01:07):
my fantasy team. You're a fucking dork. Don't do That's
fucking lame. I can you don't know ball or watch ball.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
You don't know ball, you don't watch ball. But I
also can't help that you sound a little raspy.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
It was way worse last week or like during the week.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
But yeah, I actually okay, we're gonna I guess we
can hop into this speech.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Dude, it's it's everywhere west like I think you killed it.
I think you actually killed it.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Well, So both my parents were there, and my mom
was no. Even if I went up there and like
said the ABC's and a bunch of cuss words, my
mom would have been like, that was so amazing, I
love you. Yeah, but my but my dad was like
I could tell he like really approved of it, and
he texted me before I got back to their table
and was like, you crushed.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
So I felt good.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
I was really nervous before.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Why.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I don't know. It feels like a big d like
it's just in front of like boosters, and I was
seated at the table with the AD and the and
the president, so I was like, you know, it just
feels like high stakes and you don't do that every day.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
It is high stakes. But also when you get to
meet people, they're just people, right, like you're you're more
intimidated by the title, but like once you get to
know them, it's like, oh, I belong here, and I
think you killed.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
They're also the coolest people ever and like our ad
fucking awesome, and our new press seems like a great guy.
He's new. We had the we have the best president
in the entire country for the longest time.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
She just retired.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Shout out whate egg Grizatto. But once I started talking,
it was so easy because it was just about you know,
like the tie you have with the community and alumni
and just kind of you know, it's not that hard
to talk about, but it was a new environment for me,
like public speaking, and it was probably the highest honor.
(02:58):
This is like real deal, and.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
It is a big deal because it really does show
like when people pour into people, what else they can
do beyond sports and what else they like. I know
everyone everyone sees people as just an athlete, but there's
so much more to people. And so when you get
to come back and speak into these donors who are
giving a lot of their time, a lot of their money,
just a lot of stuff they don't have to do,
(03:24):
it shows them that they're doing the right thing. Poring
into athletes.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
That is quite literally what the prompt of my speech
thing was.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
You just nailed the fucking whole thing.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
So that was good, But it was I think it
was mostly serious, but I snuck some jokes in at like,
I was really happy. And then then we went to
then we you know, it was game day Saturday, a
little rainy. I brought two of my friends and.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
They had an absolute blast. So it was really fun.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Dude, you're you should be proud, but you're the fucking
video of the dancers and then you turn it to
them and they're just like staring at.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
How funny was that? That's one of those was Jesse.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I know, I don't know the other guy, but I
definitely Jesse, and like it was literally the dancer's asses
and then you pull it to them and there's like
and I'm.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Like, uh uh yeah drooling.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Yeah. The the other thing.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
The reason I'm wearing this letter jacket kind of for symbolism.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
I I don't know how long the story will take.
Did you know get robbed in Kansas City like four
years ago? Yeah, okay, I went to the Montana State
Montana game. We beat the shit out of them Game
day was there, flew them to Kansas City. We parked
at Power and Light went inside to watch. Chiefs came
out the whole parking lot, all the back windows fucking smashed,
(04:52):
and I was like, oh my god, like the worst
day you could ever ever, Like have the car brought
your car broken into. Yeah, I was traveling home for Thanksgiving.
So it's my suitcase backpack, like everything I own. I
think it was laid off like four days before. It
was like the craziest week of my life. But my
letter jacket was in there, and I was so sad
(05:12):
because that's like such a big thing. You know, you
have to earn it. It kind of matters, and I didn't.
I didn't get one for four years. And then after
this speech or ad was like, hey, just so you know,
I like I grabbed an extra letter jacket like a
guy went back and it was.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Really nice, really cute, and so this is new aw.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
But so it was just just a great weekend. Yeah,
a lovely weekend.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Wait, that actually really is cool because when people are
kind of at that level but they pay attention to
just like caring for people, that's what it's all about.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
At the end of the day.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yes, And that's what makes people really good at what
they do is when they actually just do the simple
things and the good things of life.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
The one thing that's craziest to me with college sports now,
I'm like, not to sound like a fucking old guy,
but like the portal is insane and I am just
so happy to have one school that I'm proud to
have gone to for my whole career, and like there
are ups and downs obviously, but like I can go
(06:13):
back and be a part of that family now. And
I wonder now with everyone who transfers to like three
four schools, I'm like, what do you when you're like
a party as like a twenty eight year old? Like,
where do you tell people that you even went to school?
Who do you root for? Oh? Like it's so bizarre.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Do we also talk about though? Like I think so
so many people, especially athletes, are so they want to
be the star and they want everything so fast, and
if they don't get it, they just think that they
can run and go to something else. But like where
do you really learn character? Like where do you learn
how to? Like, Like we think sports is hard in
college that has that's nothing compared to like when you're
(06:51):
actually in the real life and you actually have real responsibilities,
so like when you're just always running from it, where
do these kids learn like good morals and good characteristics.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
I think I learned so much from like I feel
so much more. My cup is more full having having
so Like I peaked as a sophomore in college. I
played the most of the sophomore then fucking like wasn't
I don't know, I broke my leg whatever, long story,
but not blaming on injuries. I just that's what I
played the most.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I didn't make it because I broke my leg.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Guys, no, I would never say that.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
I would never say it for you.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
But I was like not happy a lot of the
time and thought about leaving. But like, looking back, I'm
so fucking lad I just stuck it out at the
school I started at because the what I'm giving back now,
getting to do ship like this is so rewarding and
so special, and obviously you stay at the same school,
(07:50):
like it's just I don't think you.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Also get to build.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
It's also hard now when people offer you money but facts.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
But you also get to build changes everything, and you
also get to build lifelong relationships that like if you're
constantly moving, like I just and I'm not saying it's wrong,
because sometimes there are situations where people should be leaving
because you want a better your experience, and sometimes the
coaches are to never be coaches. It's just not the
right fit for you, right, But I'm just saying when
(08:17):
you're not getting what you want with like playing time
and stuff like that, like sometimes you just got to
go through the shit in order to.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Be the shit.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Is that a bar? Yeah? But also the reason college
sports are like this is the douche you saying. I'll say,
but like people always say, like, oh, like employers love
hiring college athletes after they graduates because we've been through
hard shit and like made it out alive, you know.
And so yeah, every time something's tough, you fucking transfer.
(08:48):
I don't know how you actually ever come to terms
with like I can overcome obstacles or like even if
shit sucks now, like I'll be better for it on
the other side, you know. And I think that's what
college sports taught me.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
I would imagine you.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
So, so you did all that? Did you get there
Friday Thursday? Thursday? So Thursday Friday? So did you still
have time to watch the Chiefs game.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Yeah, I flew back. Well, the chief seemed last night. Yeah,
I flew back yesterday, like late morning. I got back
just in time. And is it safe to say Chiefs
are back in this bitch As I'm watching knock on
Wood the Bills fucking maybe lose again.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Dude, we looked good. We did look good.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Great offense surging. Also, I will say last night's Chiefs
lines game was a borderline like the most the closest
to a must win game that the Chiefs have played
in like the early to mid regular season in a
long time, and they showed up. It looks great against
a very very very good team. I mean they get
(09:58):
Rishi Rice back next week. They very tasty. Yeah, I
know that for the first Have you ever been suspended?
Speaker 3 (10:08):
No?
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Wow, I'm surprised too.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
That's crazy.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Wait, you didn't get suspended after you beat up that girl.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Blas.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
I didn't beat her up, but grab her neck. Yeah,
that's not beating up. I know I didn't. I just.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Will.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
I will also say I am starting to get a
lot like obviously, when I meet people in the wild,
a lot of people say we love summerhouse. I'm getting
a lot of love the podcasts. Oh my god, I
was okay.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
So I was almost a little late doing this tonight
because I was at a dinner with a bunch of
people I used to work with and and they were
all raving about our podcasts and everywhere I go they're like,
you guys have something special going on here. I was
like yeah, and I was like, we don't even really
know what the hell we're doing, and.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
It's just gonna get better.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
It's crazy though, like when when when we're out, people
are like, oh my god, I love your podcast, Like
so many fans during the season when we started, that's
like all they talked about. So thanks guys.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
No, it's awesome. And I did a post game or
a sideline interview and she was like, how's that? Like
one of the first questions was how's the podcast? And
I was like, oh, that is not so No. There's
a lot of there's a lot of WNBA drama that
I would have never expected to be involved in, and
I'm just getting tagged in it and left and right
(11:45):
on Twitter. But well, I.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Can't wait till the new season to come out so
then I can get caught up in the drama because
I'm all for that tea.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Oh god, I can't.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Wait that actually is. I would love for you to, like,
I don't know, say something controversial and then just have
Brava people fucking just love.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Oh my god, I would love. I can't wait. On's
it come out November? You said November?
Speaker 2 (12:09):
No, not till like February or March, pasts forever fuck yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Okay, at time, never mind.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
It's a lot of but if you think about if
you think about our show, yeah, like it's not like
a lot of shows. It's where you film scenes. You
just like show up, there's a couple of cameras, then
you go home. Ours is those fucking go pros running
in the house for three full straight days and like
all those microphones and I combing through that to make
(12:39):
a show sounds awful, exhausting.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Well, just feel like on reality TV shows there's just
so much, like so many different routes you could go, right,
so it's like it's totally based on the person cutting
it up of like where they want to take it.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Yeah, do you know them?
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Do you know that? Like the producers and the people
who do that.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
You don't know like everyone, but like at this point,
I've met a lot of the people who like do
posts and like when we do the confessionals and stuff,
when they like interview us and it's like green stuff.
That's people who are like doing the like creating the
show behind the scenes, and.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Okay, but can you kind of they're all lovely. Well
that's I was gonna say, can you like tell those
people like what type of like character you kind of
want to be or like what you're hoping to be?
Speaker 2 (13:33):
So no, No, Like, our show again is so unique
because it's it's not seen like we're not showing up
to like film a scene to get points done and
then like go home. We show up with our fucking
suitcases and are like in this house for three days.
And so if you were gonna try try to be
produced or act or whatever, it would be exhausting and
(13:55):
it would be impossible because again there's like there are
cameras on for three straight to and Mike's in every corner.
So that I think that's why as well, I.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Feel like if I knew that was going on, like say,
there's a kind of say uh here, like a hot
guy and there's a there's a bar out here, called
hot Chick and you meet.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
Him there like you're an endie, your Phoenix.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
I'm in Phoenix right now, Okay, hot chick. Yeah, it's
called hot Chick. It's fun and he kind of knows
the people, like knows the vibe, and you like him.
I think if I was on the show, I wouldn't
I wouldn't pursue or do anything because I knew, Like,
I just don't think I could like be what I
or like say or do what I would want to
(14:47):
do because I know that they're filming.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Yeah, but you also like have to get over it
or you'll be you would be like miserable in your
head for a full summer.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
So like.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Like similar to like ours aren't scenes like you are.
You're just living in a house and in the backyard,
and it's it's way easier than you'd think to like just.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Wait see yourself. So when you're when you're watching the
shows come out, is it the first time you've seen
them too? So you're like, oh God, what are they
going to choose from?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Yeah, but in the same vein like that part of
it's scary, but also there are so many funny moments
that I fully forgot existed and you're like, oh, that
was so cute, or like that was so fun and
that was so silly.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
So you get like the surprise aspect is scary, but
it's also.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Fun, kind of fun.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
I'd like that as long as you're not like a
fucking total maniac.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Yeah, but do you behave well when you're drunk, do
you feel like I'm a great time? Yeah? Yeah, then
you should be good.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Hey, speaking, this is totally off the topic of what
we're talking about. But on the twenty seventh, I'm going
to be on Good Morning America and I'll be up
in New York.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Whoa for for what? Twenty seventh Monday? Fuck? Is that
a Monday?
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Are you not going to be there?
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Dude?
Speaker 4 (16:14):
I'm the Chiefs are flying me out for a thing.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Oh god, you're so annoying.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Well, I can't spoil it. I can tell you not
on the podcast. It's like a fun thing. It's a little,
a little cute thing. But I'm and then I'll be
at the game. But ess actually might be the busiest
week of my life that week.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Of course, of course, when I'm when I'm in your city,
you don't have time for me.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Well, how many days. Are you going to only be here.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Monday, Sunday, Monday? But then I'm really trying to get
back out there on November in November sometime, So okay, what.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
Are you doing for pon't e Maria? You're experienced studio
and they're just like, what's it like? It's kind of
a secret thing and it's kind.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Of like it so.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
I don't know, Okay, is it actually secret or getting?
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Heal me?
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Now that it is Arby's. It's with Arby's, and so
we're going to talk about their new project. Yep, stab
it up.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
You guys dropped a commercial. I know, was it last
week or this week?
Speaker 4 (17:19):
He was like two weeks? Soo okay, what is it?
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Like? Something small you would relate? Wait, that was a
funk off. That's good. That's the whole. That's the whole.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
It is like something small. I remember seeing the commercial.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
I was like, this is good.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
Yeah, So who else was in that besides you?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
It was like said Cedric entertainer and then there's two
other people that I'm totally blanking on.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Oho.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
The golf guy went.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Total blonde moment. But so but on there, I'll be
talking about Arby's, which is like the main gig, and
then I'll also be talking about our podcast. I'll be
talking about the WNBA, I'll be talking about just life
in general. So I have like a big segment.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Wait fuck yeah, wait guy, well you I'll put it
in my phone, all right, I'll put Sophie on, yeah,
in my America because.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
I want to watch.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Yeah, it'll be fun, really fun.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
That's so, that's really cool. Well, shit, I guess I won't.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
It's okay, Sorry, it's okay, don't worry about it.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Did you end up did you end up watching any
of the finals or no? It was It's a quick one, now.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
I know.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
The ACE is one.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Sweet, clean, sweet yeah, huge sweep.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
So my my, Actually, I'm not even going to be petty.
I'm going to be good. But yeah, honestly, I think
I heard it was like the most the playoffs overall.
I think was an increase of six percent from last year,
so it's huge. Like a lot more people were tuned in,
which is a huge, big deal for the w I
(18:53):
do know that the aces ride from like losing so
much and then winning like sixteen or seventeen in a row,
and then like overcoming so many obstacles and then winning
sweeping Phoenix is insane.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
That's crazy. It makes that makes that makes you guys
look even better. Well, I heard putting up a dog fight. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
I I haven't really researched this, so I could be
completely wrong on this, but I did hear that, like
our games were maybe I think viewed more than the
finals game, like just our our series.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Ah that check, But I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
It's I think it's fun the W is as much
as like there's so much drama and there's so much
shit going on. It really has been a really cool
year of like so many people have been tuned in,
the players who are playing their asses off and at
the level they are is just a big deal and
it's just a fun time to be a part of
the W. Like so many people are interested in and
(19:53):
it's fun.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
For sure. But also not even because of if we
want to talk star or whatever, but like that your
series was way better than the finals also, so like, yeah,
it was a winner take all game five and they
went to overtime, Like it makes sense that that series, dude,
think about I.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Was talking about this with a couple of people tonight,
and it's like a couple calls going our way, we
would be in we would have been in the finals,
which is insane to think about. I agree, but I
think it's it's cool. Like the the adversity that the
ass have overcome has has been pretty cool. But like,
I'm just a competitor and I'm just ready to win,
(20:36):
and I think that like next year, I don't know
what that even looks like. I don't those conversations haven't
even been had because of the CBA is still kind
of delayed and whatnot, and so, but I just feel
like if if Indiana were to bring back their core,
it would be a huge, big deal.

Will you be in the wedding.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
No, I don't think so. Or no, I would definitely
not be.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Do you think you'll get invited?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
I don't think so. I think I love lex like,
I really do like her. I wouldn't expect to be
invited to the wedding, but I think that they would.
They're going to have a beautiful wedding and they're just fun,
fun people.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
But I don't. I don't.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
That does not hurt my feelings at all, Like I just.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
That's good, you know. Yeah, but also then like, yeah,
what are you gonna invite? Yeah, then you have to
invite the whole team if.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
You got it, I think they're going to do in that.
It does, but I you know, I kind of think
about Okay, let's think about it. If we got engaged
and we got married, would you invite all the summer
house people?
Speaker 4 (24:22):
Well, so, okay, so that's great question.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
The I think everyone that I've done it with the
whole time, I would like from my first year to now, Well.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
It's going to be interesting to see who's still there now.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
I agree, But those are like I consider them all
like very close friends at this point.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
You do you know, yeah, yeah, well do you kind.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Of feel like this show has brought you some lifelong
friends that you have been missing.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Jesse's not not missing.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
I I are not missing, But like that you can
appreciate now, I guess.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
I mean, yeah, I just took Jesse to my fucking
college town for three days and like let him like
go crazy like that was. Yeah, that's because we like
each other, you know. But I also say that, like
because you same same, I mean, you'll like get this.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
But like you go through such a weird, unique experience
with people.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
It kind of just bonds you, Yeah, because other people
don't get it, so you relate have like you just
have a weird attachment to these people because you only
you guys get it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so yeah it's cute.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Wait, so did you if you flew out on Thursday,
did you still do your kickball game?
Speaker 2 (25:46):
No?
Speaker 4 (25:46):
I missed it.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
All of our guys, all of our guys were gone,
All our guys were like half of our dudes were
like out of town. But the report back I got
was that we put up a good fight.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Everyone gets a trophy.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
We were missing a lot of people and.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
It sounded like we gave them. We gave them a
little fight.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
You know, but there's always next week, which is two
days away.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
I think we have to win to make playoffs, which
makes it scary.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
We have a big announcement to share. We are so excited.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
ARB's is coming on board is the presenting partner of
the Show Me Something podcasts.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
We love Arby's and We've got big plans in store
for our fans.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
WHOA wish you got right there? Wow?
Speaker 4 (26:36):
I know Arby's is introducing a new way to nuggets.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
If you are made obsessed, Arby's has got you with
their new nuggets.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
I love a nugget because I can dip them in sauce.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Dude, it's my favorite thing with these. You don't even
need sauce. This is a steak you can take anywhere,
making the world your steakhouse.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Your nugget just got steaked west.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
WHOA, how's your knee? Oh?
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Actually, I did some really tough freehab today and it
was really good, really really good.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Actually I've been, I've been.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
I'm just actually really motivated, and I think I've at
a really good spot in my life where like I'm
just excited to just like pour into my body, pour
into things that I enjoy, and I'm just so excited
for this upcoming season because I just I don't I
don't know where I'm going to be, and I just
feel like in the w you're you're golden years, I
(27:34):
would say, is anywhere from twenty eight to thirty four.
So but I'm a late bloomer and so I'm starting
to yeah, yeah, so I'm starting to just like be
more confident and.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Just be a vet and do all that.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
And so I think I'm just like really, I think,
I know this sounds like dumb, and I don't want
to get too deep here, but like, at the end
of the day, I'm so blessed to get to dribble
a damn basketball for a living. So why would I
not embrace and just like pour into my body more
than ever. And So I started a new diet today,
Like I'm watching you know, that's.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Big for you. You started a new diet while we're fully
sponsored by rbsday, which is beautiful.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Well, they might still be in my diet, I do.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
Yeah, you have to work in the risk, Well I
do the I do the eighty twenty rule, like eighty
percent of the time, do good twenty percent of the time.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Just enjoy your life.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
We had a dietician tell us eighty twenty my freshman year,
and I've never forgot it. He said, you could either
be eighty twenty every day. You could be eighty twenty
during the week or eighty twenty by the month. Just
do eighty twenty.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Like literally, I think that is like cause you want
to eat good and I just feel better when I
take care of my body.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Duh.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
But I also think, like, also enjoy life, like eat
the dessert, drink drink the wine.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Yeah. Yeah, try to be healthy, but like, oh my,
if you have if you have ice cream, you're fine.
The WNBA season is over and you finished your here
on a new team.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
So, like I guess looking back now that you've been
in two different places like pros cons, do you feel
like the transition like wasn't that crazy? Is it just
still playing basketball or is it was like entirely different organizations.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Yeah, I think.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Great question.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
I think that there are so many I'm someone who's
just like I love to be where my two feet
are at and so I and I love to see
the positive and things like I'm just that type of person, happy,
go lucky, you go with the flow type of thing.
But I will say being in Phoenix, the city was
absolutely amazing and like the people that I met here
lifelong friends and just like the mountains, the sun, having
(29:45):
warm weather, the restaurants, like the city of Phoenix is
hands down one.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
NASCAR Hell yeah, yeah Nascar.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
I got asked to go drive in a NASCAR Oh shit,
remember when we went.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
That's why I said it.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
I'm just sorry. Well they asked me recently to go
actually be in a NASCAR.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
Yeah, you should do it. That'd be fun.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
But this city just has so much to offer and
there's always something going on, and I love that. I
really do love that. Indiana. I think the basketball piece
and the way that the Midwest people in culture loved
their sports teams.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Ran down.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Yes, you can't compare, You literally can't compare. And so
I am just so so lucky to be a part
of two great organizations. And I have loved Indiana. I've
loved the team that I was on, the people, the
way that the fans treated us, not only in Indiana
(30:51):
but everywhere we went. It was it was amazing. And
so I really have had a really amazing experience on
on both teams. So like, I'm lucky because a lot
of people don't have that, a lot of people have
really shitty situations.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
So I'm I'm lucky, right, that's beautiful.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
It is actually also not to take away from you,
the Colts are ripping.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
The Colts are ripping, well, they kind of.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
I had the game on last night and I turned
it on because I was at something that I came
home and they were fucking losing, and I was like,
what are we doing? What are we doing? Did you
watch the game?
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Are you talking about the culture? The chief?
Speaker 4 (31:34):
So you said we so I need to know Colts? Okay,
well there we.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
All right?
Speaker 4 (31:43):
Yeah as all right, Bud.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
I Cardinals are salty. This shook it away.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Yeah, but I weekend like the Colts could not They
should not have even been close to the Cardinals. I
feel like, wait, can we talk about this because this
is more your expertise, Like, are the Colts actually good?
Speaker 5 (32:04):
Are they just not getting tested yet?
Speaker 2 (32:08):
No? Being what are they? Five and four and one?
Being four and one in the NFL is not easy
at all. No, I'm not taking away from that.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
I'm just saying, like, have they played top tier teams
that like they test maybe their weaknesses?
Speaker 2 (32:25):
The internet as you know, are so quick to try
to tear teams down who are like doing well, to
be like they're frauds. The teams like suck here foreign
one in the NFL. You're good, you have like NFL
wins are really hard. So like we're not gonna We're
not gonna be those people who are like they're they're frauds.
(32:48):
They suck, Like let's ship on every team who wins
a game. Yeah no, So I'm saying that, like, yes,
I would imagine that there's a ceiling with Daniel Jones
is their QB, but history not.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
Okay, play quarterback at Duke then drafted by the.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Giants, not like fine, but just he might have won.
I think they want a playoff game in Minnesota maybe,
but like just not the guy really there. And the
last two or three years, the NFL has had so
many quarterbacks that were like kind of thrown away by
(33:30):
the their like original franchise or like their second or
third team, and then they just end up in a
new city on a new team and for whatever reason,
that quarterback that team yeah bigger, perfect example killing it
and they just it just works.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
Sam Darnold has done it now in Minnesota and seat
like there are.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Just a lot of quarterbacks who like it just kind
of all all the puzzle pieces fall together at the
right time and they let it absolutely rip. And so
he he's a guy right now.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
You saying that, I think that is so important that
a lot of people do not understand that. Like, everyone
who gets drafted are really fucking great athletes, really great athletes.
But I think when you're at this level, you have
to be able to adjust fast, and the system that
(34:23):
you're drafted in and the situation you're drafted in will
hands down make or break your career, and a lot
of people don't understand that. But I really don't think
a lot of people understand that, Like, if you're in
the wrong system, it doesn't matter how good you are,
You're not going to be successful on that team.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
You get what I'm saying, Do you not think? Though? Yes,
I do think basketball allows individual players to take over
to like propel a team more so than one good
player on a football team does. Whereas like, no matter where,
like I would a healthy Caitlin or like a healthy Lebron,
(35:06):
wherever they go, that team will probably be above five hundred.
Speaker 7 (35:08):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
But is that fair to say yes.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
But I think that the reason behind that is because
those types of athletes, they get to come into an organization,
they have the green light and they can do whatever
they want, where that is very rare to get drafted
and be able to control the whole system.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Right did do was CC making decisions like yeah with it? Yeah,
as she should?
Speaker 4 (35:34):
As she should?
Speaker 1 (35:35):
But I also think that like they go, oh.
Speaker 4 (35:38):
That's crazy, I didn't really I didn't realize that.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
I just she's just young. I just didn't think that that.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
But when you have a generational talent like that, she
should have a lot to say of the system. I
also think when you have like when she got in
with Kelsey Mitchell, like those two they it is very
interesting to see how that they have. It is interesting
to see how they've grown to be teammates because both
of them need the ball in their hands. But I
(36:06):
think that they have played together enough that they both
get that opportunity, and when they both can elevate each other,
that team is unstoppable.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
You get what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Yeah, Also, I guess you guys played at IOWA this year, Like,
so what am I I'm an idiot for not anything
about it, Yeah, but like that's you. I mean, yes,
of course we do have a little special sponsor friend
because all of our odds are brought to us by
the good folks at hard Rock Bet, and I wanted
to give them a little pov into my brain.
Speaker 4 (36:38):
For this week, the Chiefs are actually the Chiefs are.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Twelve point favorites against the Raiders on Sunday, which is
going to be the first like kind of dud team
that they're playing. But twelve is a lot of points,
especially in the NFL, and I think they have two
big games coming up after against the Commanders and then
the Bills.
Speaker 4 (36:55):
I think koch Reid's going to keep his.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
Cards close to his yes, and this is gonna be
one of those Chiefs games where you're like, oh my god,
they're gonna just make it interesting into the last play
and then win by you know, three on the final seconds.
Speaker 4 (37:11):
So I'm wing against the Chiefs this week.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
As far as the spread is concerned, I would take
the Raiders here plus twelve. The Chiefs will win. The
Chiefs the chief money line. But I just it's more
me trying to you know, you realistic. No, he's just
gonna be He's gonna baby walk them in this game
and give her she like, a few targets and then
really let him fly the next two weeks.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
So I like this. I like that, and I like
that your your ego is not so big that you
can like actually be honest about that.
Speaker 4 (37:45):
Yeah, I'm not a freak.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
Some people are just football. Twitter is is a dark
place and people like this are so aired.
Speaker 5 (37:55):
Twitter in general is a damn dark place. But yeah, true,
it's getting late and we should hop into my favorite segment.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
Let's do it.
Speaker 4 (38:03):
Come on, tell me, tell me something.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
Here we go.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
Love your dudes. Why after a series in the NBA,
in the w NBA, you guys don't form a line
and shake it out with the other team like the
NHL does. And those dudes are crushing each other and
you guys are crushing each other. I love your podcast.
I'm from British Columbia. Howard Stern and show me something
of the two favorite dog walk and listenings I have
(38:32):
take care of beals.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
Uh So, I can't say anything about the handshake line,
but one shout out to British Columbia and two Howard
turn is one of the most famous radio voices in
the history of the world, so to be put into
that category is quite the compliment to this brother. Yeah,
so the question is for you, we're.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Doing something right. And I don't think he's a brother.
You should say dude because he said hey, dude, of
you dude, So just saying dude a lot, which is fine.
I don't know why we don't shake hands anymore, like
that's that. I think COVID kind of stopped all that
and then we just have it. I think that we
all kind of shake hands with people that we are
(39:17):
friends with and whatnot. But that is, like, I haven't
even thought about that. That is a very good.
Speaker 4 (39:24):
It's probably because they know there's people like you in
those lines and if you have ship with.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Someone, you're gonna throw them above all.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Right, Well, then here's my thing to that. If you're
gonna talk shit, then back it up. Then you have
nothing to worry about.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Well, yeah, that that's what I'm saying, is you guys
trying to back it up in the handshake line.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
Well, that's what I'm saying. But a lot of those
people who do that, they can't back it up.
Speaker 4 (39:48):
So I don't know.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
I you know what I think shaking gate or shaking
hands like it's cool and whatnot, but like no one
means it.
Speaker 4 (39:59):
Do you app up like before tip off starting?
Speaker 1 (40:03):
We we all we all shake hands before yes, okay, yeah,
so that's that's different than most I think.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
I wonder if should I ASKAGBT real quick before we
move on, see if it knows m I.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
Think I think I had to do with COVID. It
was like a COVID thing and then you stop.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
Does the w n B A not shake hands? This
just says it's not a part of the league's protocol,
so it's like.
Speaker 7 (40:36):
Not a thing.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
Huh. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (40:41):
But I love that he listens.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
I love that he listens to us and Howard stern
On walking with like walking his dogs. Like that's actually
kind of cute and special.
Speaker 4 (40:50):
That's fine, so cute.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
I would like to know what kind of dog?
Speaker 1 (40:53):
Yeah, wien your dog?
Speaker 2 (40:55):
All right? Next?
Speaker 8 (40:58):
Hi Sophie, Sophie, I just wanted to say you're my
favorite player in the WNBA, and I really hope that
you're in a fever jersey next year. But I want
to ask you guys for some advice. Oh my name's Liz,
by the way, I'm twenty two years old to graduate
college and right now I really want to move to
(41:21):
a new city where I don't know anyone, but my
family is not very supportive of that. So I was
wondering if you guys had any advice into moving to
a new city where you don't really know anyone. Thanks, guys,
love the pod?
Speaker 2 (41:37):
Do it okay?
Speaker 4 (41:38):
Can I take this one, soph Yes?
Speaker 2 (41:40):
Yes. Anytime anyone ever asked me life advice, I'm like,
I'm not really like, I'm not a wizard. I don't know.
But the one thing that I can suggest is moving
away from home and like and being uncomfortable. You will
always do so many things, can always go home. It
(42:03):
is harder without your parents' approval. I do think you're
twenty two, so you can do what you want. I
would if you work a remote job, you should be okay,
maybe start there and then try to find stuff when
you get there. But obviously, if you can support yourself financially,
(42:23):
you should do it. If you still like, obviously you're
still in school, so it's uh, you probably get a
little help who knows, and that then you're gonna have
some conversations with mom and dad. But I can from
a non financial parent standpoint, it is truly the best
(42:43):
thing you can.
Speaker 4 (42:44):
Do for yourself.
Speaker 2 (42:45):
Oh whoa hitting the table.
Speaker 1 (42:49):
Because he believes in it's somewhat home, Okay, Liz, I don't. Yeah,
I'm going to back up West one hundred on this
because I think that when you move away, you just
learn so much about yourself. You learn so much about
different cultures, different cities, You have a different way of thinking,
and you can truly learn different things about you that
(43:12):
you wouldn't if you would just stay where you're at.
And don't get me wrong, I am so proud and
I love where I grew up, and I miss home
and when I go back it fills my cup up.
But I think the best thing that I could have
done or to get me to where I am today,
is I moved right And it wasn't my It wasn't
I got drafted out here. So like if I didn't
get drafted, I don't know if I would have. But
(43:33):
it is the biggest blessing that has ever happened. Living
in Australia, living in France, living in different cities in
the United States has just like grown the way my
I think morally, how I think about just in everyday life,
Like you just mature so much and you get to
choose you who you are, and I just love that.
Speaker 2 (43:54):
The one thing I'll also say is I didn't appreciate
my home and everything I had growing up and what
my home was until I left. Once I left home,
I was like, Oh, these things make me who I
am and these things are unique to me. And then
that's when I really started to appreciate Missouri barbecue, my
dad's farmed, like the Chiefs, like all those random things
(44:16):
that all your friends care about. Now that like it
doesn't make you feel unique when you leave, then you'll
be like, oh, these things are special and this is
who I am and these things represent my friends from home,
these things represent my family, these things represent like.
Speaker 8 (44:29):
Who I am.
Speaker 2 (44:31):
I could talk about this for a thousand hours, but
it is so beneficial for you in so many ways,
and I can't suggest it enough.
Speaker 1 (44:37):
I think that everyone not everyone, but like, if you're
feeling a fire inside of you, to like, go experience
those types of things. Listen to your gut. It is
for a reason, it is for a purpose, and go
because I promise you you will be living your best
life and you will become your best self because you
took that risk, and you can always go back home.
Speaker 4 (44:58):
You can always go back home.
Speaker 1 (44:59):
But while you're young and why, you don't really have
a lot of responsibilities, like go just just trust me.
Trust West too.
Speaker 4 (45:06):
Yep, that's good, Liss, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (45:08):
Like that, that's good, Liz.
Speaker 1 (45:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (45:11):
Hey Sophie, Hey West. It's a Steve from Houston. So,
as you know the new Taylor Swift. I have a
show Girl album dropped and it kind of reminded me
of the situation I had going So, me and my
friend had a fall out last year, big fallout, and
long story short, I was basically living with her, but
(45:35):
when we ended our friendship, I did not take my
vinyls all from her house. And it's been ten months
and she still has them to this day. They're all
my Taylor Swift finals. I've been trying to, you know,
reach out and you know, like you know, try and
(45:57):
like at least try and get them back, but I
get no response. What do you guys think I should do?
Should I keep bugging her or should I just let
them go now? Anyway, Love you guys and thinks for
the advice by.
Speaker 2 (46:16):
If they're yours they're yours. You can't keep them from me.
Speaker 4 (46:18):
Go get your shit, stick like, go get yeah, go
get your shit. We're not saying like call the cops,
but like you're not. You're not bothering her. She's fucking
keeping your stuff.
Speaker 2 (46:29):
Go get them yours.
Speaker 4 (46:30):
And vinyls are like cool, yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (46:33):
Those are yours, yes, and they just to have those
think about in like twenty thirty years, Like you're gonna
regret if you don't go get them. And it's not
like she bought them. It's not like you guys, go
get your stuff.
Speaker 4 (46:43):
At the end of the day, go get it.
Speaker 1 (46:44):
It's yours who cares make her feel uncomfortable?
Speaker 2 (46:49):
Yeah, I also herd ducking you. And you're just trying
to get your things. You're not even like being weird
or asking to get lunch or whatever. You're trying to
get your shit. Tell her to show this and be like, yo,
give me my shit back. Actually, here's my advice to
make it. If you want to get it, be like
super like not give her the ability to like make excuses,
(47:10):
be like I will Venmo, you mail them to my
fucking house, like these are mine.
Speaker 1 (47:15):
In the story, that's really that one's a simple one,
like we we have your fullback, Steve, Go get your stuff.
Speaker 4 (47:22):
Let us know when you get them. Yeah, easy callack.
Speaker 2 (47:26):
And that that'll fucking do it.
Speaker 5 (47:29):
I got the hiccups from that final Oh no, whoa,
whoa hiccups.
Speaker 4 (47:36):
Imagine if you come back next week and you sell
the hiccups.
Speaker 2 (47:38):
Um, all right, guys, we're gonna do it. Sovia'shiccups. You
can't even keep recording anymore. You guys next week,
But I'm just saying when you're not getting what you
want with like playing time and stuff like that, like
sometimes you just got to go through the shit in
order to be the shit.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Is that a bar those scooter? I guess, pardon me
if I'm distracted for a little bit. I need our
Atlanta Falcons to beat the Buffalo Bills, and they're up
(00:30):
a touchdown with the ball, So fingers, do you need.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
It because you have money on it? Or why do
you need it?
Speaker 3 (00:36):
No?
Speaker 4 (00:37):
I'm this could be a whole podcast episode.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I can't believe that I'm going to get on a
soapbox eight seconds into this episode.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
But I'm a football purist.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I can't fucking stand people go to bars, watch games,
talk about their fantasy teams and their bets. I'm rooting
for the Falcons. I want the Bills to lose because
it benefits the Chiefs in the AFC. That's all I
care about. I want the Chiefs do well. Has nothing
to do with money or fantasy and people who be like,
oh oop, the Chiefs win, but have priv Lawrence and
(01:07):
my fantasy team. You're a fucking dork. Don't do That's
fucking lame. I can you don't know ball or watch ball.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
You don't know ball, you don't watch ball. But I
also can't help that you sound a little raspy.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
It was way worse last week or like during the week.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
But yeah, I actually okay, we're gonna I guess we
can hop into this speech.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Dude, it's it's everywhere west like I think you killed it.
I think you actually killed it.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Well, So both my parents were there, and my mom
was no. Even if I went up there and like
said the ABC's and a bunch of cuss words, my
mom would have been like, that was so amazing, I
love you. Yeah, but my but my dad was like
I could tell he like really approved of it, and
he texted me before I got back to their table
and was like, you crushed.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
So I felt good.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
I was really nervous before.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Why.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I don't know. It feels like a big d like
it's just in front of like boosters, and I was
seated at the table with the AD and the and
the president, so I was like, you know, it just
feels like high stakes and you don't do that every day.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
It is high stakes. But also when you get to
meet people, they're just people, right, like you're you're more
intimidated by the title, but like once you get to
know them, it's like, oh, I belong here, and I
think you killed.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
They're also the coolest people ever and like our ad
fucking awesome, and our new press seems like a great guy.
He's new. We had the we have the best president
in the entire country for the longest time.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
She just retired.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Shout out whate egg Grizatto. But once I started talking,
it was so easy because it was just about you know,
like the tie you have with the community and alumni
and just kind of you know, it's not that hard
to talk about, but it was a new environment for me,
like public speaking, and it was probably the highest honor.
(02:58):
This is like real deal, and.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
It is a big deal because it really does show
like when people pour into people, what else they can
do beyond sports and what else they like. I know
everyone everyone sees people as just an athlete, but there's
so much more to people. And so when you get
to come back and speak into these donors who are
giving a lot of their time, a lot of their money,
just a lot of stuff they don't have to do,
(03:24):
it shows them that they're doing the right thing. Poring
into athletes.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
That is quite literally what the prompt of my speech
thing was.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
You just nailed the fucking whole thing.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
So that was good, But it was I think it
was mostly serious, but I snuck some jokes in at like,
I was really happy. And then then we went to
then we you know, it was game day Saturday, a
little rainy. I brought two of my friends and.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
They had an absolute blast. So it was really fun.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Dude, you're you should be proud, but you're the fucking
video of the dancers and then you turn it to
them and they're just like staring at.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
How funny was that? That's one of those was Jesse.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I know, I don't know the other guy, but I
definitely Jesse, and like it was literally the dancer's asses
and then you pull it to them and there's like
and I'm.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Like, uh uh yeah drooling.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Yeah. The the other thing.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
The reason I'm wearing this letter jacket kind of for symbolism.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
I I don't know how long the story will take.
Did you know get robbed in Kansas City like four
years ago? Yeah, okay, I went to the Montana State
Montana game. We beat the shit out of them Game
day was there, flew them to Kansas City. We parked
at Power and Light went inside to watch. Chiefs came
out the whole parking lot, all the back windows fucking smashed,
(04:52):
and I was like, oh my god, like the worst
day you could ever ever, Like have the car brought
your car broken into. Yeah, I was traveling home for Thanksgiving.
So it's my suitcase backpack, like everything I own. I
think it was laid off like four days before. It
was like the craziest week of my life. But my
letter jacket was in there, and I was so sad
(05:12):
because that's like such a big thing. You know, you
have to earn it. It kind of matters, and I didn't.
I didn't get one for four years. And then after
this speech or ad was like, hey, just so you know,
I like I grabbed an extra letter jacket like a
guy went back and it was.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Really nice, really cute, and so this is new aw.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
But so it was just just a great weekend. Yeah,
a lovely weekend.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Wait, that actually really is cool because when people are
kind of at that level but they pay attention to
just like caring for people, that's what it's all about.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
At the end of the day.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yes, And that's what makes people really good at what
they do is when they actually just do the simple
things and the good things of life.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
The one thing that's craziest to me with college sports now,
I'm like, not to sound like a fucking old guy,
but like the portal is insane and I am just
so happy to have one school that I'm proud to
have gone to for my whole career, and like there
are ups and downs obviously, but like I can go
(06:13):
back and be a part of that family now. And
I wonder now with everyone who transfers to like three
four schools, I'm like, what do you when you're like
a party as like a twenty eight year old? Like,
where do you tell people that you even went to school?
Who do you root for? Oh? Like it's so bizarre.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Do we also talk about though? Like I think so
so many people, especially athletes, are so they want to
be the star and they want everything so fast, and
if they don't get it, they just think that they
can run and go to something else. But like where
do you really learn character? Like where do you learn
how to? Like, Like we think sports is hard in
college that has that's nothing compared to like when you're
(06:51):
actually in the real life and you actually have real responsibilities,
so like when you're just always running from it, where
do these kids learn like good morals and good characteristics.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
I think I learned so much from like I feel
so much more. My cup is more full having having
so Like I peaked as a sophomore in college. I
played the most of the sophomore then fucking like wasn't
I don't know, I broke my leg whatever, long story,
but not blaming on injuries. I just that's what I
played the most.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I didn't make it because I broke my leg.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Guys, no, I would never say that.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
I would never say it for you.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
But I was like not happy a lot of the
time and thought about leaving. But like, looking back, I'm
so fucking lad I just stuck it out at the
school I started at because the what I'm giving back now,
getting to do ship like this is so rewarding and
so special, and obviously you stay at the same school,
(07:50):
like it's just I don't think you.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Also get to build.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
It's also hard now when people offer you money but facts.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
But you also get to build changes everything, and you
also get to build lifelong relationships that like if you're
constantly moving, like I just and I'm not saying it's wrong,
because sometimes there are situations where people should be leaving
because you want a better your experience, and sometimes the
coaches are to never be coaches. It's just not the
right fit for you, right, But I'm just saying when
(08:17):
you're not getting what you want with like playing time
and stuff like that, like sometimes you just got to
go through the shit in order to.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Be the shit.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Is that a bar? Yeah? But also the reason college
sports are like this is the douche you saying. I'll say,
but like people always say, like, oh, like employers love
hiring college athletes after they graduates because we've been through
hard shit and like made it out alive, you know.
And so yeah, every time something's tough, you fucking transfer.
(08:48):
I don't know how you actually ever come to terms
with like I can overcome obstacles or like even if
shit sucks now, like I'll be better for it on
the other side, you know. And I think that's what
college sports taught me.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
I would imagine you.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
So, so you did all that? Did you get there
Friday Thursday? Thursday? So Thursday Friday? So did you still
have time to watch the Chiefs game.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Yeah, I flew back. Well, the chief seemed last night. Yeah,
I flew back yesterday, like late morning. I got back
just in time. And is it safe to say Chiefs
are back in this bitch As I'm watching knock on
Wood the Bills fucking maybe lose again.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Dude, we looked good. We did look good.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Great offense surging. Also, I will say last night's Chiefs
lines game was a borderline like the most the closest
to a must win game that the Chiefs have played
in like the early to mid regular season in a
long time, and they showed up. It looks great against
a very very very good team. I mean they get
(09:58):
Rishi Rice back next week. They very tasty. Yeah, I
know that for the first Have you ever been suspended?
Speaker 3 (10:08):
No?
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Wow, I'm surprised too.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
That's crazy.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Wait, you didn't get suspended after you beat up that girl.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Blas.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
I didn't beat her up, but grab her neck. Yeah,
that's not beating up. I know I didn't. I just.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Will.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
I will also say I am starting to get a
lot like obviously, when I meet people in the wild,
a lot of people say we love summerhouse. I'm getting
a lot of love the podcasts. Oh my god, I
was okay.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
So I was almost a little late doing this tonight
because I was at a dinner with a bunch of
people I used to work with and and they were
all raving about our podcasts and everywhere I go they're like,
you guys have something special going on here. I was
like yeah, and I was like, we don't even really
know what the hell we're doing, and.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
It's just gonna get better.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
It's crazy though, like when when when we're out, people
are like, oh my god, I love your podcast, Like
so many fans during the season when we started, that's
like all they talked about. So thanks guys.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
No, it's awesome. And I did a post game or
a sideline interview and she was like, how's that? Like
one of the first questions was how's the podcast? And
I was like, oh, that is not so No. There's
a lot of there's a lot of WNBA drama that
I would have never expected to be involved in, and
I'm just getting tagged in it and left and right
(11:45):
on Twitter. But well, I.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Can't wait till the new season to come out so
then I can get caught up in the drama because
I'm all for that tea.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Oh god, I can't.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Wait that actually is. I would love for you to, like,
I don't know, say something controversial and then just have
Brava people fucking just love.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Oh my god, I would love. I can't wait. On's
it come out November? You said November?
Speaker 2 (12:09):
No, not till like February or March, pasts forever fuck yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Okay, at time, never mind.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
It's a lot of but if you think about if
you think about our show, yeah, like it's not like
a lot of shows. It's where you film scenes. You
just like show up, there's a couple of cameras, then
you go home. Ours is those fucking go pros running
in the house for three full straight days and like
all those microphones and I combing through that to make
(12:39):
a show sounds awful, exhausting.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Well, just feel like on reality TV shows there's just
so much, like so many different routes you could go, right,
so it's like it's totally based on the person cutting
it up of like where they want to take it.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Yeah, do you know them?
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Do you know that? Like the producers and the people
who do that.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
You don't know like everyone, but like at this point,
I've met a lot of the people who like do
posts and like when we do the confessionals and stuff,
when they like interview us and it's like green stuff.
That's people who are like doing the like creating the
show behind the scenes, and.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Okay, but can you kind of they're all lovely. Well
that's I was gonna say, can you like tell those
people like what type of like character you kind of
want to be or like what you're hoping to be?
Speaker 2 (13:33):
So no, No, Like, our show again is so unique
because it's it's not seen like we're not showing up
to like film a scene to get points done and
then like go home. We show up with our fucking
suitcases and are like in this house for three days.
And so if you were gonna try try to be
produced or act or whatever, it would be exhausting and
(13:55):
it would be impossible because again there's like there are
cameras on for three straight to and Mike's in every corner.
So that I think that's why as well, I.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Feel like if I knew that was going on, like say,
there's a kind of say uh here, like a hot
guy and there's a there's a bar out here, called
hot Chick and you meet.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
Him there like you're an endie, your Phoenix.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
I'm in Phoenix right now, Okay, hot chick. Yeah, it's
called hot Chick. It's fun and he kind of knows
the people, like knows the vibe, and you like him.
I think if I was on the show, I wouldn't
I wouldn't pursue or do anything because I knew, Like,
I just don't think I could like be what I
or like say or do what I would want to
(14:47):
do because I know that they're filming.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Yeah, but you also like have to get over it
or you'll be you would be like miserable in your
head for a full summer.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
So like.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Like similar to like ours aren't scenes like you are.
You're just living in a house and in the backyard,
and it's it's way easier than you'd think to like just.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Wait see yourself. So when you're when you're watching the
shows come out, is it the first time you've seen
them too? So you're like, oh God, what are they
going to choose from?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Yeah, but in the same vein like that part of
it's scary, but also there are so many funny moments
that I fully forgot existed and you're like, oh, that
was so cute, or like that was so fun and
that was so silly.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
So you get like the surprise aspect is scary, but
it's also.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Fun, kind of fun.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
I'd like that as long as you're not like a
fucking total maniac.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Yeah, but do you behave well when you're drunk, do
you feel like I'm a great time? Yeah? Yeah, then
you should be good.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Hey, speaking, this is totally off the topic of what
we're talking about. But on the twenty seventh, I'm going
to be on Good Morning America and I'll be up
in New York.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Whoa for for what? Twenty seventh Monday? Fuck? Is that
a Monday?
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Are you not going to be there?
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Dude?
Speaker 4 (16:14):
I'm the Chiefs are flying me out for a thing.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Oh god, you're so annoying.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Well, I can't spoil it. I can tell you not
on the podcast. It's like a fun thing. It's a little,
a little cute thing. But I'm and then I'll be
at the game. But ess actually might be the busiest
week of my life that week.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Of course, of course, when I'm when I'm in your city,
you don't have time for me.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Well, how many days. Are you going to only be here.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Monday, Sunday, Monday? But then I'm really trying to get
back out there on November in November sometime, So okay, what.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
Are you doing for pon't e Maria? You're experienced studio
and they're just like, what's it like? It's kind of
a secret thing and it's kind.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Of like it so.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
I don't know, Okay, is it actually secret or getting?
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Heal me?
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Now that it is Arby's. It's with Arby's, and so
we're going to talk about their new project. Yep, stab
it up.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
You guys dropped a commercial. I know, was it last
week or this week?
Speaker 4 (17:19):
He was like two weeks? Soo okay, what is it?
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Like? Something small you would relate? Wait, that was a
funk off. That's good. That's the whole. That's the whole.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
It is like something small. I remember seeing the commercial.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
I was like, this is good.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
Yeah, So who else was in that besides you?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
It was like said Cedric entertainer and then there's two
other people that I'm totally blanking on.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Oho.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
The golf guy went.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Total blonde moment. But so but on there, I'll be
talking about Arby's, which is like the main gig, and
then I'll also be talking about our podcast. I'll be
talking about the WNBA, I'll be talking about just life
in general. So I have like a big segment.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Wait fuck yeah, wait guy, well you I'll put it
in my phone, all right, I'll put Sophie on, yeah,
in my America because.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
I want to watch.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Yeah, it'll be fun, really fun.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
That's so, that's really cool. Well, shit, I guess I won't.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
It's okay, Sorry, it's okay, don't worry about it.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Did you end up did you end up watching any
of the finals or no? It was It's a quick one, now.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
I know.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
The ACE is one.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Sweet, clean, sweet yeah, huge sweep.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
So my my, Actually, I'm not even going to be petty.
I'm going to be good. But yeah, honestly, I think
I heard it was like the most the playoffs overall.
I think was an increase of six percent from last year,
so it's huge. Like a lot more people were tuned in,
which is a huge, big deal for the w I
(18:53):
do know that the aces ride from like losing so
much and then winning like sixteen or seventeen in a row,
and then like overcoming so many obstacles and then winning
sweeping Phoenix is insane.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
That's crazy. It makes that makes that makes you guys
look even better. Well, I heard putting up a dog fight. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
I I haven't really researched this, so I could be
completely wrong on this, but I did hear that, like
our games were maybe I think viewed more than the
finals game, like just our our series.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Ah that check, But I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
It's I think it's fun the W is as much
as like there's so much drama and there's so much
shit going on. It really has been a really cool
year of like so many people have been tuned in,
the players who are playing their asses off and at
the level they are is just a big deal and
it's just a fun time to be a part of
the W. Like so many people are interested in and
(19:53):
it's fun.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
For sure. But also not even because of if we
want to talk star or whatever, but like that your
series was way better than the finals also, so like, yeah,
it was a winner take all game five and they
went to overtime, Like it makes sense that that series, dude,
think about I.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Was talking about this with a couple of people tonight,
and it's like a couple calls going our way, we
would be in we would have been in the finals,
which is insane to think about. I agree, but I
think it's it's cool. Like the the adversity that the
ass have overcome has has been pretty cool. But like,
I'm just a competitor and I'm just ready to win,
(20:36):
and I think that like next year, I don't know
what that even looks like. I don't those conversations haven't
even been had because of the CBA is still kind
of delayed and whatnot, and so, but I just feel
like if if Indiana were to bring back their core,
it would be a huge, big deal.

Well you have a fiance, Lexi, that's really awesome.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Will you be in the wedding.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
No, I don't think so. Or no, I would definitely
not be.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Do you think you'll get invited?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
I don't think so. I think I love lex like,
I really do like her. I wouldn't expect to be
invited to the wedding, but I think that they would.
They're going to have a beautiful wedding and they're just fun,
fun people.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
But I don't. I don't.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
That does not hurt my feelings at all, Like I just.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
That's good, you know. Yeah, but also then like, yeah,
what are you gonna invite? Yeah, then you have to
invite the whole team if.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
You got it, I think they're going to do in that.
It does, but I you know, I kind of think
about Okay, let's think about it. If we got engaged
and we got married, would you invite all the summer
house people?
Speaker 4 (24:22):
Well, so, okay, so that's great question.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
The I think everyone that I've done it with the
whole time, I would like from my first year to now, Well.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
It's going to be interesting to see who's still there now.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
I agree, But those are like I consider them all
like very close friends at this point.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
You do you know, yeah, yeah, well do you kind.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Of feel like this show has brought you some lifelong
friends that you have been missing.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Jesse's not not missing.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
I I are not missing, But like that you can
appreciate now, I guess.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
I mean, yeah, I just took Jesse to my fucking
college town for three days and like let him like
go crazy like that was. Yeah, that's because we like
each other, you know. But I also say that, like
because you same same, I mean, you'll like get this.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
But like you go through such a weird, unique experience
with people.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
It kind of just bonds you, Yeah, because other people
don't get it, so you relate have like you just
have a weird attachment to these people because you only
you guys get it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so yeah it's cute.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Wait, so did you if you flew out on Thursday,
did you still do your kickball game?
Speaker 2 (25:46):
No?
Speaker 4 (25:46):
I missed it.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
All of our guys, all of our guys were gone,
All our guys were like half of our dudes were
like out of town. But the report back I got
was that we put up a good fight.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Everyone gets a trophy.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
We were missing a lot of people and.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
It sounded like we gave them. We gave them a
little fight.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
You know, but there's always next week, which is two
days away.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
I think we have to win to make playoffs, which
makes it scary.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
We have a big announcement to share. We are so excited.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
ARB's is coming on board is the presenting partner of
the Show Me Something podcasts.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
We love Arby's and We've got big plans in store
for our fans.
Speaker 2 (26:33):

Speaker 4 (26:36):
I know Arby's is introducing a new way to nuggets.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
If you are made obsessed, Arby's has got you with
their new nuggets.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
I love a nugget because I can dip them in sauce.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Dude, it's my favorite thing with these. You don't even
need sauce. This is a steak you can take anywhere,
making the world your steakhouse.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Your nugget just got steaked west.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
WHOA, how's your knee? Oh?
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Actually, I did some really tough freehab today and it
was really good, really really good.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Actually I've been, I've been.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
I'm just actually really motivated, and I think I've at
a really good spot in my life where like I'm
just excited to just like pour into my body, pour
into things that I enjoy, and I'm just so excited
for this upcoming season because I just I don't I
don't know where I'm going to be, and I just
feel like in the w you're you're golden years, I
(27:34):
would say, is anywhere from twenty eight to thirty four.
So but I'm a late bloomer and so I'm starting
to yeah, yeah, so I'm starting to just like be
more confident and.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Just be a vet and do all that.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
And so I think I'm just like really, I think,
I know this sounds like dumb, and I don't want
to get too deep here, but like, at the end
of the day, I'm so blessed to get to dribble
a damn basketball for a living. So why would I
not embrace and just like pour into my body more
than ever. And So I started a new diet today,
Like I'm watching you know, that's.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Big for you. You started a new diet while we're fully
sponsored by rbsday, which is beautiful.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Well, they might still be in my diet, I do.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
Yeah, you have to work in the risk, Well I
do the I do the eighty twenty rule, like eighty
percent of the time, do good twenty percent of the time.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Just enjoy your life.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
We had a dietician tell us eighty twenty my freshman year,
and I've never forgot it. He said, you could either
be eighty twenty every day. You could be eighty twenty
during the week or eighty twenty by the month. Just
do eighty twenty.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Like literally, I think that is like cause you want
to eat good and I just feel better when I
take care of my body.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Duh.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
But I also think, like, also enjoy life, like eat
the dessert, drink drink the wine.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Yeah. Yeah, try to be healthy, but like, oh my,
if you have if you have ice cream, you're fine.
The WNBA season is over and you finished your here
on a new team.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
So, like I guess looking back now that you've been
in two different places like pros cons, do you feel
like the transition like wasn't that crazy? Is it just
still playing basketball or is it was like entirely different organizations.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Yeah, I think.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Great question.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
I think that there are so many I'm someone who's
just like I love to be where my two feet
are at and so I and I love to see
the positive and things like I'm just that type of person, happy,
go lucky, you go with the flow type of thing.
But I will say being in Phoenix, the city was
absolutely amazing and like the people that I met here
lifelong friends and just like the mountains, the sun, having
(29:45):
warm weather, the restaurants, like the city of Phoenix is
hands down one.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
NASCAR Hell yeah, yeah Nascar.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
I got asked to go drive in a NASCAR Oh shit,
remember when we went.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
That's why I said it.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
I'm just sorry. Well they asked me recently to go
actually be in a NASCAR.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
Yeah, you should do it. That'd be fun.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
But this city just has so much to offer and
there's always something going on, and I love that. I
really do love that. Indiana. I think the basketball piece
and the way that the Midwest people in culture loved
their sports teams.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Ran down.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Yes, you can't compare, You literally can't compare. And so
I am just so so lucky to be a part
of two great organizations. And I have loved Indiana. I've
loved the team that I was on, the people, the
way that the fans treated us, not only in Indiana
(30:51):
but everywhere we went. It was it was amazing. And
so I really have had a really amazing experience on
on both teams. So like, I'm lucky because a lot
of people don't have that, a lot of people have
really shitty situations.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
So I'm I'm lucky, right, that's beautiful.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
It is actually also not to take away from you,
the Colts are ripping.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
The Colts are ripping, well, they kind of.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
I had the game on last night and I turned
it on because I was at something that I came
home and they were fucking losing, and I was like,
what are we doing? What are we doing? Did you
watch the game?
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Are you talking about the culture? The chief?
Speaker 4 (31:34):
So you said we so I need to know Colts? Okay,
well there we.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
All right?
Speaker 4 (31:43):
Yeah as all right, Bud.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
I Cardinals are salty. This shook it away.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Yeah, but I weekend like the Colts could not They
should not have even been close to the Cardinals. I
feel like, wait, can we talk about this because this
is more your expertise, Like, are the Colts actually good?
Speaker 5 (32:04):
Are they just not getting tested yet?
Speaker 2 (32:08):
No? Being what are they? Five and four and one?
Being four and one in the NFL is not easy
at all. No, I'm not taking away from that.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
I'm just saying, like, have they played top tier teams
that like they test maybe their weaknesses?
Speaker 2 (32:25):
The internet as you know, are so quick to try
to tear teams down who are like doing well, to
be like they're frauds. The teams like suck here foreign
one in the NFL. You're good, you have like NFL
wins are really hard. So like we're not gonna We're
not gonna be those people who are like they're they're frauds.
(32:48):
They suck, Like let's ship on every team who wins
a game. Yeah no, So I'm saying that, like, yes,
I would imagine that there's a ceiling with Daniel Jones
is their QB, but history not.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
Okay, play quarterback at Duke then drafted by the.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Giants, not like fine, but just he might have won.
I think they want a playoff game in Minnesota maybe,
but like just not the guy really there. And the
last two or three years, the NFL has had so
many quarterbacks that were like kind of thrown away by
(33:30):
the their like original franchise or like their second or
third team, and then they just end up in a
new city on a new team and for whatever reason,
that quarterback that team yeah bigger, perfect example killing it
and they just it just works.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
Sam Darnold has done it now in Minnesota and seat
like there are.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Just a lot of quarterbacks who like it just kind
of all all the puzzle pieces fall together at the
right time and they let it absolutely rip. And so
he he's a guy right now.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
You saying that, I think that is so important that
a lot of people do not understand that. Like, everyone
who gets drafted are really fucking great athletes, really great athletes.
But I think when you're at this level, you have
to be able to adjust fast, and the system that
(34:23):
you're drafted in and the situation you're drafted in will
hands down make or break your career, and a lot
of people don't understand that. But I really don't think
a lot of people understand that, Like, if you're in
the wrong system, it doesn't matter how good you are,
You're not going to be successful on that team.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
You get what I'm saying, Do you not think? Though? Yes,
I do think basketball allows individual players to take over
to like propel a team more so than one good
player on a football team does. Whereas like, no matter where,
like I would a healthy Caitlin or like a healthy Lebron,
(35:06):
wherever they go, that team will probably be above five hundred.
Speaker 7 (35:08):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
But is that fair to say yes.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
But I think that the reason behind that is because
those types of athletes, they get to come into an organization,
they have the green light and they can do whatever
they want, where that is very rare to get drafted
and be able to control the whole system.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Right did do was CC making decisions like yeah with it? Yeah,
as she should?
Speaker 4 (35:34):
As she should?
Speaker 1 (35:35):
But I also think that like they go, oh.
Speaker 4 (35:38):
That's crazy, I didn't really I didn't realize that.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
I just she's just young. I just didn't think that that.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
But when you have a generational talent like that, she
should have a lot to say of the system. I
also think when you have like when she got in
with Kelsey Mitchell, like those two they it is very
interesting to see how that they have. It is interesting
to see how they've grown to be teammates because both
of them need the ball in their hands. But I
(36:06):
think that they have played together enough that they both
get that opportunity, and when they both can elevate each other,
that team is unstoppable.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
You get what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Yeah, Also, I guess you guys played at IOWA this year, Like,
so what am I I'm an idiot for not anything
about it, Yeah, but like that's you. I mean, yes,
of course we do have a little special sponsor friend
because all of our odds are brought to us by
the good folks at hard Rock Bet, and I wanted
to give them a little pov into my brain.
Speaker 4 (36:38):
For this week, the Chiefs are actually the Chiefs are.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Twelve point favorites against the Raiders on Sunday, which is
going to be the first like kind of dud team
that they're playing. But twelve is a lot of points,
especially in the NFL, and I think they have two
big games coming up after against the Commanders and then
the Bills.
Speaker 4 (36:55):
I think koch Reid's going to keep his.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
Cards close to his yes, and this is gonna be
one of those Chiefs games where you're like, oh my god,
they're gonna just make it interesting into the last play
and then win by you know, three on the final seconds.
Speaker 4 (37:11):
So I'm wing against the Chiefs this week.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
As far as the spread is concerned, I would take
the Raiders here plus twelve. The Chiefs will win. The
Chiefs the chief money line. But I just it's more
me trying to you know, you realistic. No, he's just
gonna be He's gonna baby walk them in this game
and give her she like, a few targets and then
really let him fly the next two weeks.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
So I like this. I like that, and I like
that your your ego is not so big that you
can like actually be honest about that.
Speaker 4 (37:45):
Yeah, I'm not a freak.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
Some people are just football. Twitter is is a dark
place and people like this are so aired.
Speaker 5 (37:55):
Twitter in general is a damn dark place. But yeah, true,
it's getting late and we should hop into my favorite segment.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
Let's do it.
Speaker 4 (38:03):
Come on, tell me, tell me something.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
Here we go.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
Love your dudes. Why after a series in the NBA,
in the w NBA, you guys don't form a line
and shake it out with the other team like the
NHL does. And those dudes are crushing each other and
you guys are crushing each other. I love your podcast.
I'm from British Columbia. Howard Stern and show me something
of the two favorite dog walk and listenings I have
(38:32):
take care of beals.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
Uh So, I can't say anything about the handshake line,
but one shout out to British Columbia and two Howard
turn is one of the most famous radio voices in
the history of the world, so to be put into
that category is quite the compliment to this brother. Yeah,
so the question is for you, we're.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Doing something right. And I don't think he's a brother.
You should say dude because he said hey, dude, of
you dude, So just saying dude a lot, which is fine.
I don't know why we don't shake hands anymore, like
that's that. I think COVID kind of stopped all that
and then we just have it. I think that we
all kind of shake hands with people that we are
(39:17):
friends with and whatnot. But that is, like, I haven't
even thought about that. That is a very good.
Speaker 4 (39:24):
It's probably because they know there's people like you in
those lines and if you have ship with.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Someone, you're gonna throw them above all.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Right, Well, then here's my thing to that. If you're
gonna talk shit, then back it up. Then you have
nothing to worry about.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Well, yeah, that that's what I'm saying, is you guys
trying to back it up in the handshake line.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
Well, that's what I'm saying. But a lot of those
people who do that, they can't back it up.
Speaker 4 (39:48):
So I don't know.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
I you know what I think shaking gate or shaking
hands like it's cool and whatnot, but like no one
means it.
Speaker 4 (39:59):
Do you app up like before tip off starting?
Speaker 1 (40:03):
We we all we all shake hands before yes, okay, yeah,
so that's that's different than most I think.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
I wonder if should I ASKAGBT real quick before we
move on, see if it knows m I.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
Think I think I had to do with COVID. It
was like a COVID thing and then you stop.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
Does the w n B A not shake hands? This
just says it's not a part of the league's protocol,
so it's like.
Speaker 7 (40:36):
Not a thing.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
Huh. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (40:41):
But I love that he listens.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
I love that he listens to us and Howard stern
On walking with like walking his dogs. Like that's actually
kind of cute and special.
Speaker 4 (40:50):
That's fine, so cute.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
I would like to know what kind of dog?
Speaker 1 (40:53):
Yeah, wien your dog?
Speaker 2 (40:55):
All right? Next?
Speaker 8 (40:58):
Hi Sophie, Sophie, I just wanted to say you're my
favorite player in the WNBA, and I really hope that
you're in a fever jersey next year. But I want
to ask you guys for some advice. Oh my name's Liz,
by the way, I'm twenty two years old to graduate
college and right now I really want to move to
(41:21):
a new city where I don't know anyone, but my
family is not very supportive of that. So I was
wondering if you guys had any advice into moving to
a new city where you don't really know anyone. Thanks, guys,
love the pod?
Speaker 2 (41:37):
Do it okay?
Speaker 4 (41:38):
Can I take this one, soph Yes?
Speaker 2 (41:40):
Yes. Anytime anyone ever asked me life advice, I'm like,
I'm not really like, I'm not a wizard. I don't know.
But the one thing that I can suggest is moving
away from home and like and being uncomfortable. You will
always do so many things, can always go home. It
(42:03):
is harder without your parents' approval. I do think you're
twenty two, so you can do what you want. I
would if you work a remote job, you should be okay,
maybe start there and then try to find stuff when
you get there. But obviously, if you can support yourself financially,
(42:23):
you should do it. If you still like, obviously you're
still in school, so it's uh, you probably get a
little help who knows, and that then you're gonna have
some conversations with mom and dad. But I can from
a non financial parent standpoint, it is truly the best
(42:43):
thing you can.
Speaker 4 (42:44):
Do for yourself.
Speaker 2 (42:45):
Oh whoa hitting the table.
Speaker 1 (42:49):
Because he believes in it's somewhat home, Okay, Liz, I don't. Yeah,
I'm going to back up West one hundred on this
because I think that when you move away, you just
learn so much about yourself. You learn so much about
different cultures, different cities, You have a different way of thinking,
and you can truly learn different things about you that
(43:12):
you wouldn't if you would just stay where you're at.
And don't get me wrong, I am so proud and
I love where I grew up, and I miss home
and when I go back it fills my cup up.
But I think the best thing that I could have
done or to get me to where I am today,
is I moved right And it wasn't my It wasn't
I got drafted out here. So like if I didn't
get drafted, I don't know if I would have. But
(43:33):
it is the biggest blessing that has ever happened. Living
in Australia, living in France, living in different cities in
the United States has just like grown the way my
I think morally, how I think about just in everyday life,
Like you just mature so much and you get to
choose you who you are, and I just love that.
Speaker 2 (43:54):
The one thing I'll also say is I didn't appreciate
my home and everything I had growing up and what
my home was until I left. Once I left home,
I was like, Oh, these things make me who I
am and these things are unique to me. And then
that's when I really started to appreciate Missouri barbecue, my
dad's farmed, like the Chiefs, like all those random things
(44:16):
that all your friends care about. Now that like it
doesn't make you feel unique when you leave, then you'll
be like, oh, these things are special and this is
who I am and these things represent my friends from home,

Speaker 8 (44:29):
Who I am.
Speaker 2 (44:31):
I could talk about this for a thousand hours, but
it is so beneficial for you in so many ways,
and I can't suggest it enough.
Speaker 1 (44:37):
I think that everyone not everyone, but like, if you're
feeling a fire inside of you, to like, go experience
those types of things. Listen to your gut. It is
for a reason, it is for a purpose, and go
because I promise you you will be living your best
life and you will become your best self because you

as you know the new Taylor Swift. I have a
show Girl album dropped and it kind of reminded me
of the situation I had going So, me and my
friend had a fall out last year, big fallout, and
long story short, I was basically living with her, but
(45:35):
when we ended our friendship, I did not take my
vinyls all from her house. And it's been ten months
and she still has them to this day. They're all
my Taylor Swift finals. I've been trying to, you know,
reach out and you know, like you know, try and
(45:57):
like at least try and get them back, but I
get no response. What do you guys think I should do?
Should I keep bugging her or should I just let
them go now? Anyway, Love you guys and thinks for
the advice by.
Speaker 2 (46:16):
If they're yours they're yours. You can't keep them from me.
Speaker 4 (46:18):
Go get your shit, stick like, go get yeah, go
get your shit. We're not saying like call the cops,
but like you're not. You're not bothering her. She's fucking
keeping your stuff.

make it. If you want to get it, be like
super like not give her the ability to like make excuses,
(47:10):

fucking house, like these are mine.
