B
It's about your questions and what you want to know.
A
We're a little bit. Some of y' all need. Jesus. Because these questions, we love how unhinged you are.

We can't actually answer.

We can't actually answer.
B
But send us a dm. I'll let you know.
A
Yeah. Yes. Afford it to Sid and then.
B
Yeah.
A
Okay. So, yes, today is a Q and A episode because we love you even though you're so unhinged. But first we need to talk about Picasso.
B
Larue. Oh, yes. So I was just thinking that, you know, you know, I've been looking for art for like the last.
A
Yes, you've mentioned it about three times on the show that you're putting art.
B
Like, I just can't pull the trigger because I'm like, I could do that. Like, it makes me upset when it's just a bunch of lines. Like, I could do that instead of paying like two, three thousand dollars. So I was, I went to Michael's.
A
You had a day at Michael's?
B
I spent the whole day there. Yes. I had to like go multiple times back to my car to charge my phone. Because.
A
Because you were there that long.
B
Yes. And I was looking up reviews of things and watching videos. Oh, my God. The best, you know, acrylic paints to get and what to, like, do and, and the mediums and stuff.
A
Mediums, yeah.
B
And I got every single supply that I could have gotten. So I brought it home and I was like, I'm going to start today. Like, today is. Is where my. Is where My new career starts. Okay. So I'm doing it, and I'm. I'm, like, doing it from this video. Who's telling me what to do? And I'm like, this is not. This is not working.
A
Also, you were doing just that. There were a lot of circles.
B
A lot of circles.
A
A lot of red and circles.
B
And I thought that it was, like, all going to come together. I don't know. I did choose these, like, these colors that I thought would be so, so beautiful. Orange and, like, burnt terracotta and a yellow and. And you kind of mix them in a brown. And then it mixed together, and it just wasn't what I. It wasn't what I wanted it to be. It literally looked like a period poop.
A
I have a few questions. Because your home is, like, muted tones, creams. You have beautiful chairs and, like, these earthy tones. Earthy tones. Thank you. And then you went loud. You went loud with the paint.
B
I didn't think it was going to be loud, though. I thought that it was just going to all, like, flow, you know, and it just didn't.
A
At what point did you realize this wasn't going on the wall and you weren't going to do 10 others?
B
Well, I think I, like, did this so many times that it started, like, peeling off. So I'm like, okay, I need to. I need to give it a rest. I need to give it a rest because I just didn't like it. And then I saw it the next day, and it just made me realize, like, wow, you actually can't do all the things you think you can do.
A
No, no, no.
B
And I was like, wow, don't dream that big. Artists, I love you.
A
Yeah. You issued an apology. A formal. Formal apology.
B
Formal apology. And I'm just hoping for everyone's, you know, acceptance of me. But, yeah, it was. It was a tough day. It was a tough learning experience for me.
A
I wish I could say I was surprised, but let me tell you about some of Sid's other hobbies.
B
I have a lot of hobbies where.
A
She also purchased everything related to said hobby.
B
Yeah. Yeah.
A
There was coloring.
B
So we.
A
These coloring books. A lot of really, really nice pens. Like those pens where you're. Like those pencils and they make you believe again that. That you've been doing shading. Yeah.
B
And. Yeah.
A
Yeah. So she had all these coloring books with all the intricate little. That was done crochet. That was one evening on an away trip.
B
It was true.
A
She had a lot of things for that. The labeling. Oh, the woman had A label machine.
B
Yeah. And I put it in, like, I would label the food and it was like, clearly cheese and it was clearly milk. And I would. I would be labeling it. I would take it out of its box, put it in a new container.
A
Yeah.
B
And then label it milk. Yep.
A
So then got tired of that.
B
Yeah.
A
I did screen printing. Sid was like, we don't need to outsource to make merch. We're going to make our own BFFR merch. And I'm going to get a screen printer and we're going to do it embroidery as well. And embroidery.
B
I never ended up purchasing those things. That's lucky. Yeah, yeah. Because I was just like, you know, like, my hobbies make me feel, like, really cheap. Like, why am I not just, like, buying from a proper person? You know? Like, why am. Why are we not getting it done by someone who knows what they're doing? It's because I have so much confidence.
A
Yeah, yeah.
B
It's. It's my fault. But I've. Like you said, I've. I've done. My apologies.
A
Yeah, yeah. So we're not gonna be doing too much art anymore.
B
No.
A
But we have other fun things that have been taking up our energy because someone has been throwing green dildos on basketball courts.
B
Green dilly gets you every time. Also, who are the Dildo Bandits?
A
Who are the Dildo Bandits? There's. There's a crypto group now claiming responsibility, calling it a prank. I don't know if this is true. This is, like, breaking news today.
B
I mean, I think just as a female, like, stop with the dildos. Give us the satisfier Pro two. Give us the rose.
A
Throw something on there that is actually.
B
Useful that we actually want. We don't exactly.
A
What a waste.
B
I know.
A
Honestly. What a waste. How do you think they're getting them in? No, don't answer that.
B
Okay.
A
Don't answer that.
B
I can't tell you how they're. Could you imagine if someone threw a green dildo on our field? We wouldn't even know. True.
A
Just keep going.
B
We just keep going.
A
Then someone trips over it.
B
Yeah. Then that person will get a foul.
A
Right, right, Exactly.
B
No problem. I was thinking, though, why don't we. We go to an NBA game and throw those little flashlights on there.
A
Oh, a little pocket.
B
Yeah.
A
Just see how they react.
B
Just see.
A
Even it up.
B
You know, one might be like.
A
We'll make sure we find, like, the top quality one so someone can actually use it. Yeah. Like.
B
Yeah, we know. You guys make so much money that we'll, we'll find one.
A
Top of the line.
B
Top of the line. Or just the whole human. You know the doll.
A
Just, just a blow up doll.
B
Yeah.
A
Yeah. And then we'll see.
B
We'll really see. This episode is brought to you by PNC Bank.
A
A lot of people think that a podcast where soccer players talk about their daily life would be boring.
B
And yeah, some of the grind can be boring. But it is our daily rituals and our preparation and, and doing it together that makes the wins even bigger.
A
It's like banking with PNC Bank. It might seem boring to plan, save and make calculated decisions with your bank. Keeping your money boring is what helps you live a more happily fulfilled life.
B
PNC bank, Brilliantly boring since 1865 brilliantly.
A
Boring since 1865 is a service mark of the PNC Financial Services Group Incorporated PNC Bank National Association Member FDIC okay, real talk.
B
There are very few people I've seen grind the way Ali does. Coming off the season ending injury list, showing up to Angel City, training with that I will outwork everyone. Energy, it's insane. And then she comes over and she chases Rue and Cassius and the dog's around. The girl doesn't stop.
A
And I'm always hungry. When you're training again, recovering and trying to actually function as a human, you need fuel to keep you going. That's why I love Caciaba. It's this all in one superfood shake that actually tastes good.
B
They just dropped a new strawberry flavor and it's fire. It's got real freeze dried strawberries and it's actually really good.
A
I throw in some nut milk, maybe a banana if I'm feeling fancy. And I'm good for hours without feeling heavy.
B
It's everything in one protein, superfoods, greens, fiber, all the good stuff. And no artificial flavors, colors, sweeteners, none of that. Whether you're training, parenting, or just trying to survive the week, cachava is the move.
A
You've never tasted strawberry like this. Go to cachava.com and use code BFFR for 15% off your order. That's K A C H A V A.com code BFFR for 15% OFF. It is time for an extended happy hour with Q and A. So today you are serving us. We opened up the DMS and there are a lot of questions. Actually the most common question was about Sid's dating life. Would you be down to explore with a woman?
B
I don't think so.
A
And you never have?
B
No. Aside from a kiss.
A
Like.
B
Like to. Yeah, yeah. We've all kissed. Yeah. But no, I haven't. I just. I don't know.
A
But we love. We love women.
B
I love women.
A
Respect.
B
I imagine what my life would be with a woman because it's like, 50. 50. You work together. You're best friends. You understand each other. You understand having PMS or being on the same cycle. It's a game changer. But I do. I fear that it's not for you. I just like. I like men.
A
You do?
B
Yeah, I do, unfortunately. Look how far that's gotten me.
A
Yeah. Yeah. Well.
B
But I think everyone's beautiful.
A
Do you have any lesbian crushes?
B
I actually do have a lesbian crush. It would be Kehlani.
A
Oh, okay.
B
Right. Okay.
A
Yeah, Definitely.
B
Strong sexual, cool girl energy. I do think she's just like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you have a lesbian crush?
A
So I. I just think women are so beautiful. And I look at my. Most men accept Lucas, and I'm just like, ooh.
B
But also think about a man naked, just standing there.
A
It's exactly.
B
It's almost embarrassing. Exactly. I'm like, right? And with women, I'm like, like, wow, that's beauty. Yes, it's beauty.
A
Even when we were at. In Cabo and all these drunk people stumbling around, and there's just people, all shapes and sizes, and I'm like, every single woman is beautiful. The guys are disgusting.
B
Yes. I think we all. We've always believed that.
A
I'm always like, lucas, you're lucky.
B
Yeah.
A
Okay. But my. I. I can't. Not in a sexual way. But the women, the two women that I just am, like, obsessed with, they're so stunning. Angela Bassett, a little bit older, but I'm like, you are perfection.
B
I didn't know you liked me.
A
Perfection and Florence Pugh.
B
Okay.
A
And they've both been Marvel movies, and I'm like a big Marvel nerd saying.
B
It'S not your lesbian crush. But, like, that's as close.
A
Yeah, yeah. Like, I just. They're amazing.
B
Okay. And have you ever dabbled?
A
Same as you. Like, just a little kiss.
B
Just a little kiss, you know?
A
But I, I. I have had teammates, like, tell me that they really. Yes.
B
I've never.
A
Yes.
B
I've never. I'm like, do I just, like, give out straight energy? Like, that's also gross. You've.
A
You have been, like, you were married for. For a while.
B
Who cares?
A
I was, like, single out in Sweden, and people were, like, shooting their shot, and I. I respected it.
B
But even in my single. My single days.
A
Yeah. I mean, I've been Told I'm, like, the gayest straight person. Coach Jackie.
B
Yeah. Yeah, she did tell you.
A
Queer icon.
B
Yeah.
A
So. Ooh, this one is for Sydney. Would you get married again?
B
Oh, wow. That was a question. I always said no. I always said I would never. And now I'm like, yeah, you know that.
A
Yeah. But you say you kind of go back in, back and forth.
B
Yeah, Yeah, I do. But if I was, like, absolutely obsessed with this person.
A
You're prepared to do it again? Yeah, I'm doing it all again.
B
I would be prepared, but I would also look out for the red flags so I don't make the same mistake.
A
Okay, so there might not be too many women sliding into Sid's DMS. Although she does not read all of her DMs, texts or emails. Do you remember any really weird DMS that you've gotten?
B
Oh, before it changed to, like, the Instagram that it is now.
A
They're all kind of, like, hidden and categorized.
B
Yeah.
A
Yeah.
B
I don't know, but I used to get a lot of dick pics.
A
Really?
B
A lot of dick pics? Yeah. Can I take you on a date?
A
Here's my dick. Can I take you on a date?
B
Yeah.
A
Wow.
B
Like, that's crazy. That's absolutely. I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
A
Oh, my God.
B
Yeah, but it'd be, like, something. I don't know.
A
So when I read them when I was at Chelsea, one of my teammates got hacked, and this hacker just started posting micro penises all over her feed. And I. I hadn't seen a micro penis.
B
You've never seen a micro penis?
A
Well, I hadn't until then. Not. Not live or digital. But then I. I was DM'd. A micro penis.
B
Have you ever seen one in real life? No.
A
Wow, you have?
B
Yeah. Yeah.
A
Were you warned or. It was like you started doing stuff and then it was.
B
No, we were talking to each other for a while, and we, like, moved really slow. Slow. Which, you know, I like. And so, yeah, we had been talking for a while. We had kissed, whatever. And then, like, we were just, you know, just fooling around, and then it happened. I'm like, I don't know who you think that I am, but, like, I don't. I don't.
A
But, like, don't micropenes deserve sex, too?
B
Yes, but not with me.
A
Okay.
B
I. I mean, I don't know. I don't know what it's like. Is it like a little tampon?
A
I have no idea how big.
B
Heavy flow.
A
How. How super.
B
Plus, how big was the. Without my Nail. So, like, what is that? And I'm not, like, crushing men here. I'm just telling my story.
A
What if he had warned you?
B
Would you've been like, I had never seen one before, and. And it was real life, so I also think I was really young, so I never, like. Actually, I think I was a virgin. And so that was like. It ain't gonna be with you.
A
It ain't gonna be. You might have still been a virgin after.
B
That's true. Just tampon light.
A
Okay. When you. When you got your divorce and you were, like, putting yourself out there.
B
Yeah.
A
Do you have any dating advice, specifically? What's your best advice? To slay back out there, which you obviously did.
B
Okay. So I've been learning these things now, which I don't do when women, like, go out. First of all, I like going out by myself all the time. Dinner, movies. She's good. But you're not supposed to, like, have your arm like this way because you seem closed or be on your phone.
A
Or approachable body language.
B
Yeah.
A
That's a good time.
B
That's why I'm like. That's why no one comes up to me.
A
But you also. You want to be alone.
B
I do.
A
You have your headphones on.
B
I do.
A
Looking at your iPad. So don't do that.
B
I don't do anything.
A
Don't do that.
B
Don't do that. But I also think, like, I don't know, dating apps have never really been for me. So I did go on a dating app, and then someone tweeted about it, and so I had to delete it. Yeah. So I just, you know, I'm just riding the race.
A
What are you riding?
B
Riding the waves. But I would say, I don't know, just be confident. Feel, like, beautiful, and who cares?
A
Yeah.
B
It's like you. The ball is in your court always. Don't ever think differently.
A
I know, and I know I'm saying this as someone who's married, but looking at my friends and people who aren't my friends, I really. It really. There is someone out there for everybody. And, like, I think you will be happiest if you put your most confident, weirdest self out there. Like, you talked about, like, what you want in a relationship. Start with that.
B
Yeah.
A
Because you don't want to act a certain way to get someone to like you, and then you're, like, getting serious and moving in and, like, thinking about a future together, having kids together, and, like, you're unhappy. So I really think if you, like, put your Whatever. Like, your weird. Yes.
B
Your Authentic self.
A
Yeah. You only want someone who is going to want you for, like, who you really, really are.
B
Yeah. And I had a little situation with that, actually.
A
Yeah?
B
Yeah. I was on a date and we went to get pizza, and I was eating it with a fork and knife, and then he started eating it with a fork and knife. And I was like, I'm sorry. I. I can't do this. And I just started. And he was like, great. Me neither. I was like, I don't know what's going on. So I was like, okay, ditch that. Ditch. Trying to be this, like, prim and proper girl that you're not and just be yourself.
A
Yeah. It's hard, but I feel like it's worth it because you find the right person.
B
Yeah.
A
Also, if you want to date men, they're gonna. They're gonna up many times.
B
They're gonna let you down, so they're gonna let you down. Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter if you have the best man in the world.
A
Yeah.
B
So.
A
So if you really like them, you gotta be patient and give them one chance to do better.
B
Yes. One chance only.
A
Just one, Sydney.
B
All right. We are both in the same prison cell.
A
Oh, geez.
B
Who gets the top bunk and who gets the bottom? I have the top bunk.
A
I would prefer you to have the top bunk.
B
I would prefer to have the top bunk.
A
You just have your things, and you open your laptop and then you fall straight asleep. I'm like, up and around. I got to go to the bathroom. And then I'm like, really go to.
B
The bathroom a lot.
A
And then if it's, like, time to go out and exercise or whatever you're allowed to do in prison, I'm the one being like, okay, Sid, like, get up, get up. And we. We go. So I think that would work out.
B
I think it would work out really, really well. Yeah.
A
I. I hope that never happens.
B
I just get my little space up top. Yeah. It's great. Yeah.
A
Speaking of space, who has the messiest locker? I think that is a really easy one. How would get like that?
B
It's messy, though.
A
There's just so many things.
B
I love knickknacks.
A
Yeah.
B
Like, that is my thing.
A
And a lot of you have, like.
B
Your toilet, your toiletry bag stuff, and my toiletry bag. That's in there. Because that's my travel toiletry bag.
A
Which you have forgotten a couple times when we have traveled.
B
Yes.
A
And then she bought a new travel bag.
B
Yeah. Makeup, skincare, the whole thing. Yes. And also, like, you will never catch me Wearing pants or the shirt with the sleeves or the under.
A
So it's all just. It's just there.
B
It's just there. And I'm like, you might as well take it out of the locker.
A
So I. I borrowed pants from said months ago and returned them, like, the next day. And last week, our equipment manager, Katie. Shout out, Katie, faithful listener, we love you. I saw Katie folding them in the locker room, and I was like, oh, did you borrow Sid's pants too? And she was like, nope. This stuff has been in Sid's locker for weeks. So I'm just folding it so she'll take it off.
B
I know. Yes, that did happen. I came to training one day and I'm like, all my stuff is folded. Like, folded. Are they telling me something?
A
They. She was telling you something.
B
But I'm like, you can't even see.
A
Yeah.
B
You know, and sometimes, like, when I come to training, it's cold, and then when I leave training, it's hot. So I like to just pick.
A
There's been, like, your Gucci sweater just hanging there at the end of the.
B
Day, I'm just like, I'll get it sometime when I need it. Yes. How it is. What is your game day routine?
A
My game day routine is supporting Sydney in her game day routine. I like to sleep in, have a nice breakfast. That eats so many onions at breakfast. So I have to process that.
B
Yeah.
A
And then I just. They make us go on a walk, do some activation, and then we can kind of just chill. I do some visualization, and then Sid needs someone to, like, tell her if she's missed a spot when she's standing but naked, doing her her tanning san trope. And then if she needs any tools because she picks at her face, does her eyebrows. She'll apply lashes.
B
Yes, yes, yes. If they're not already applied. Usually I go on a trip where I've already got them done, but sometimes, you know, sometimes one falls off.
A
She's doing. What's the thing with the. I'm like, are you. Are you shaving your beard? Little mic. What is that called?
B
Oh, it's like a micro. Whatever.
A
Micro plane. Micro blade. Micro.
B
Yeah. Haven't you seen those videos where people, like, put all of this, like, flour or whatever on their face and the hair is just, like, coming down to here, but you don't see it.
A
Okay. So she's doing that, and I'm just like, do you need little tools? Oh, my gosh.
B
This.
A
You would straighten your hair and you had a straightener that was like, the Size of my pinky getting her little edges.
B
Yeah. Yeah.
A
And then we figure out where Sid can order her pregame meal from.
B
Yeah.
A
The Euro.
B
The Euro. Same. Same situation every time.
A
Yeah.
B
The only, like, shitty part is when we do travel and it's been a while, it's like, sometimes it's so bad. I know. You know, sometimes it's so bad and I'm like, I know, but you still do it.
A
I know. You chance it.
B
Is that gonna be, like, you know, bad, bad karma for me on the field?
A
The Euro roulette. It's like the game before the game.
B
No, it's like, am I gonna lose? Am I not?
A
You have a bad one.
B
Yeah. You need a good Euro to feel strong and powerful.
A
Remember that, kids.
B
And beautiful.
A
So. Yeah. But the one most important thing we do on game day is apply atomic bomb. Oh.
B
First of all, sponsor us. First of all, atomic balm. B A L M. I thought it was B O M B.
A
That's what it feels like.
B
Should be. Yeah, it should be. But I found you guys many, many moons ago, and I have put some people on this. Okay. When you think about atomic bomb, you're thinking about a little spray.
A
Yeah. A little Tiger Base, Icy hot sea spray.
B
No, no, no. No, you will not feel your body. No, you will not feel your body. And that is what I need.
A
We need.
B
It's what we need. And so, you know, everyone says, oh, Sid's coming. Because you can smell me.
A
Yeah, you can smell her. And wherever she sits, she leaves this orange. Kind of grease stain, but totally worth it.
B
The only thing is, is do not get it too close to the hoo ha. Or the.
A
Yeah.
B
You will be running faster. I'll tell you that. Yes, you will be running faster.
A
It has been working for me. As someone with a glute issue.
B
It's.
A
It's in the crack right in there. And then it sweats down to the vagine.
B
Whoa.
A
So if I do get an infection, we know why, but hopefully cappuccino could fix that.
B
Yeah. Yeah.
A
And.
B
Yeah, it'll like, literally burn you from the inside. Yes.
A
This is the hottest.
B
Yeah.
A
Lotion. Whatever you can imagine. Don't come at me with tiger bomb. Don't. There is nothing.
B
There's nothing. Don't come at me with anything unless you have atomic bomb. You don't know us. You don't know me. Yeah. Yeah.
A
Okay. This was an interesting question. How often are people actually washing their sports bras? And I hope it's every day.
B
Oh, Maybe. I think a better Question would be, how often is everyone washing their bras? Because who does that?
A
Yeah.
B
I remember my first bra. She was never washed. I was so excited and proud of her that she was on me 24 7.
A
Same. And I'm like, oh, it's just announced.
B
I don't know. I don't wear a bra.
A
Yes. You know what we wear cakes. Sid has changed my life in many ways. On the field and off and atomic bomb. And the cakes, the little. Little circle silicone. Oh, they're okay. They're. They're. They're coming. Oh, it's out. Looks like it kind of like a chicken cutlet.
B
Yep. And you just pop it right back in.
A
And you just. You don't even have to wear a bra.
B
No.
A
The nips aren't showing. It can go under, like, anything.
B
Yeah. I don't know the last time I wore a bra.
A
How often do you, like, rinse those?
B
Well, sometimes I forget and take. Forget to take them off at training. I have them under my sports bra. And then, of course, like, it needs a wash. But, yeah, I will wash them.
A
Lucas always finds it a little bit, like, when I undress and I have them and, like, you don't have any nipples. And he's always like, oh, like, just get a little bit of, like, a little. Little scare.
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A
A little scared.
B
Came off because it looks like.
A
Yeah, you can get your skin. I love how they have the different skin tones.
B
Yes. So also, cakes, we love you.
A
Yes. This turned into a promotional episode, and we're not.
B
I even showed you guys what it is.
A
Yeah. So this does remind me when we talked about, like, people asking for your spandex. Okay. That just looked so weird with chicken emerging and moving in your crotch.
B
Well, she's. She's awake. She's awake now, and she's like, like.
A
Mommy, best underwear for soccer. Swear I'm not being kinky. Google has not helped.
B
You don't.
A
You don't want to go to Google for that.
B
No. I wear these underwear. It's the only underwear I wear. They're from Amazon, and they're almost like a lycra licra. Oh. But then the. This part is cotton, so it's like, you're not. You know, that would be weird. Okay. I wear those at all times.
A
So you wear those under your spandex.
B
I don't wear spandex. You know that.
A
Oh, okay. Okay. So I don't wear underwear because I'm just wearing spandex.
B
But I also feel like if I didn't wear underwear, and I just wore spandex that I would be, like, pulling things around and moving things around, and I would feel like it's not getting the air that it needs. Yeah, but that's one of the.
A
That's what I. I feel too much when I just wear a thong. Things are like, you know, one little stretch out and, like, lips out.
B
The lip is out. Yeah, it is true. But, I mean, sometimes when I. When I go into a tackle, I'm like, man, that just went right up my back. Right up my back. Have you ever tackled and then, like, your soccer people will. Will really appreciate this, but have you ever tackled and then you, like, have this foot under your butt and then you're sliding, and it, like, almost tears your apart?
A
Not in a long time, but I know exactly what you're talking.
B
And you're like, whoa. Yeah. Yeah. Because it just gets stuck, and then your body's moving forward and. Yeah. Yeah. Whoa. Yeah. That's a tough one. Yeah.
A
Sid, if you didn't play soccer, what would you do? What sport would you be interested to try if you didn't play soccer?
B
Okay, well, I did see this new sport called power slap.
A
Oh, Jesus Christ.
B
And there's nothing more that I would love to slap the. Out of someone. I just. Even if I need to go first because I need to knock you out and win, like.
A
Okay, because I was gonna say. Even if it means you were getting slapped.
B
No, because if you slap me, I'm. I'm gonna fight.
A
Okay.
B
I'm actually gonna say, yeah, so. No, just let me have the first round, and it's over. But I'm also like, is everyone okay?
A
Interesting sport.
B
You know, they're just, like, getting absolutely destroyed, and they're like, not me.
A
Yeah, it's. I couldn't do it. Well, I hate violence.
B
That's weird.
A
I hate violence.
B
I don't mind a little violence, but not that hard. Just a little, you know.
A
No, I can't.
B
You're not getting my vibe.
A
I can't. Oh.
B
Oh.
A
Down there. Not up here.
B
Oh, really? Okay.
A
Yeah.
B
Okay. A little.
A
A little bad girl. Something like that would not be.
B
Your thing.
A
I mean.
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I always.
A
I don't mind a little slap if it's not on the face, is what I'll say.
B
Oh, of course. But that's regular. That's. That's grade one stuff.
A
Sorry, mom and dad.
B
All right, new question. Okay. Do you have any stories about, like, not making it to one of our games on time recently?
A
And it's Less stressful because I'm not playing. My Uber driver had to pee. And, like, I had timed this, so, like, I will get there.
B
You got to do the ways. I need to be here by this time. Yeah, yeah.
A
And so I had timed it out. And so we are in, you know, downtown Los Angeles, and he's just like. Pulls off because he's like, I have to go. I'm like, if you got to go, you got to go. So pulls over, just gets out of the car to run into, like, a liquor store. So I'm just in the car, like, with the keys. Like, it was an emergency.
B
For yourself?
A
For this poor guy. Absolute emergency.
B
It's a tough. It is an emergency if you have to go into a gas station and.
A
Let the keys in the car, open the door, and just.
B
Bullshit. No way. Yeah.
A
And so I'm just there and comes back. They didn't have a bathroom. So we drive further, we're searching for bathrooms. We end up going in a restaurant. And I was like, I'll come with you. So we're just. We go into the restaurant, and then finally, like, we're on our way. So we were late. He was so apologetic.
B
That's tough.
A
Yeah.
B
You got to feel for him, though. You know, when it just hits you when it.
A
And we had been driving an hour and a half, so, like.
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A
I feel like you always are kind of like on almost late or late or late.
B
Yeah, those things. Yeah. Yeah. To most things, I feel that it's just the way my brain works. Like, I don't. I don't really have any concept of time. So it's just like, whenever my body decides, you gotta go, then that's. That's what I do. But I also had that situation. It was when I first started, or. No, it was when I came to Angel City, and then I got injured, like, two games later. So I was just getting the, like, whole thing about, you know, you got to go down this, and then you got to turn in, then you got to go underneath and then shut the car off. The dogs will smell you. Whatever.
A
Yeah, that's exactly what we do.
B
Yeah.
A
When we arrive.
B
So I, like, just was like, okay. Like, took this Uber, and they're like, okay, I need to drop you off here. And it's at the Uber drop off in the stadium.
A
Oh, my gosh.
B
And I have my. Oh, my gosh. I have my gosh. Yeah. And I was like, no, no, no, no. Like, I'm a player. And he was like, yeah. Like, rules are rules. This is. You know, this is like our Uber drop off. And I was like, oh, my. Wait, I didn't even know this. And I. I sped. I was speeding, and then people were like, sydney.
A
And I imagine you're like, in the fans.
B
And I'm like, so all my. I was like, oh, my goodness, this is so bad.
A
Did you wave?
B
Yeah.
A
I'm like, hi, of course.
B
But yeah, I was like, that was tough. Please. Also, going from the. You know, where the Uber drop off is to where you actually need to be is like a mile. Yeah.
A
If anyone saw Sid scootering from Fan Zone, please send us a message.
B
Epic. Was it?
A
Yeah. I mean, this is the shit. You. We will remember forever.
B
I know. Have you ever been denied to go up to the. To go up to our suite when we're not playing?
A
Sid, I was kicked off the field.
B
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Tell the story. When you told me, I said, what?
A
I mean, these are the things.
B
What did I say? What did I say when you told me that story? I said, you didn't tell them to fuck off. Yeah. And she was. She just went off the field.
A
These are the things that make you think it's probably time to retire, because I was on the field after the game, but in civilian clothing and signing autographs. And I went to go see my parents on the sideline, and then I went to go re. Meat up with the team again, and security came up to me and was like, ma', am, ma', am, you need to get off the field. I said, I'm a player. I just. I just gave. These are my parents. I. Ma', am, ma', am, you need to. You need to remove you from the field. And she's asking me to go over the road, though. Well, I'm kind of like backing up, but I'm, like, pointing. I'm like, those are my teammates. And luckily, Julie Ehrman was standing not too far away. And I'm like, julie, help. And she comes over this other security. Like, I think her boss came over and was like, hey, hey, hey. Like, we need to see your credential. And I was like, I'm so sorry. It's in the Locke room in my bag that I just put there.
B
Have you ever worn or brought your credential?
A
Not when I'm already in the stadium.
B
At the end of the game in general. And that's, like, my fault because I have three of them, four of them.
A
Oh, my gosh, no, I even had it. But I just, you know, I took my jacket off, I put in locker room I had it with. So, yeah, I'm just kind of trying to point, like, is there any. Can anyone, like, recognize me? And then Julie are CEO and one of our founding investors, founding partners, came over and said, yeah, it's okay. She's on the team. And I was like, laughing but like, Lucas was like, she's a player. Like, yeah.
B
So I wish I was there for you, man.
A
That was.
B
That's crazy and really disrespectful. It was humbling. I wouldn't call it humbling.
A
That was. Yeah, that was a very, like, BFFR moment.
B
But it was when you told me.
A
I was just like, I got a kick out of it. Another thing I will never forget.
B
I was sick. Hello. All right, can we talk about summer break for a second? Yes, it's fun and yes, the kids are living their best life, but it's also kind of unhinged. Oh, truly.
A
No routine. Way too much screen time and a whole lot of I'm bored energy.
B
And as a mom, I've seen how easy it is for kids to fall behind with reading.
A
That's why we love that Macy's is teaming up with Reading is Fundamental and Nami. They're making it easier to keep kids reading and feeling supported all summer.
B
Now through September 14th, you can round up your purchase in store or donate online at Macy's to help out. It takes two seconds and it actually makes a difference.
A
We love anything that helps kids head back to school feeling ready. So shout out to Macy's for doing something about it.
B
You can go to macy's.compurpose to learn more.
A
Okay, let. I want to do a few more before we wrap it up because I'm. I'm learning a lot about us.
B
Are you?
A
Yes. Okay, I know, I know you purchase a lot of books. I'm not sure how many of them you're actually reading, but do you purchase more self help or smut books?
B
What's smut?
A
What?
B
Never heard of it. What is that?
A
Like sexy books. Like, you know, spicy.
B
Like what?
A
Like Acotar, Court of thorns and roses.
B
No.
A
Oh my gosh, Sid. Like Fay and fairies. And they're like, you lost me with fairies.
B
No. Fairies having sex. You lost me.
A
Yes.
B
You lost me. No.
A
Okay, so self help books.
B
Yeah. And then I read two pages and I'm like, this ain't me. I don't need it. I don't need it. It's fine. But maybe send me over some of your books.
A
Yeah.
B
Finish a book for once.
A
Said, I like romance. I like Romantasy. That's with a little bit of fairies or vampires, werewolves, whatever.
B
I can't. I can't do the fantasy sci fi stuff. Okay.
A
Okay.
B
I need real life.
A
Okay, well, there's.
B
That's why I like true crime.
A
Have you seen Hunting Wives?
B
Well, I told you about Hunting Wives because. So have you watched the first episode, said, and I told you about it, and then all of a sudden she watched the whole season.
A
Yes.
B
It is so spicy asking me about it.
A
I know. I need to talk to you about it. But you like that. So you like the murder and the true crime.
B
Yeah, because the new true crime came out while I was trying to get through that. And obviously.
A
Is there sex in it?
B
No, it's not ever this. If there's sex in it, it's not ever the sex that.
A
Oh, yeah. Consensual. I want the consensual type.
B
It's tough, right?
A
Okay, that was probably a silly question, but I need consensual sex if I'm gonna have any murders or deaths in my shows and my books.
B
I don't think that that exists in true crime.
A
Okay.
B
Keep with your fairies. Keep with your fairies.
A
I'll be with the smut.
B
Do you have any phobias?
A
Ooh. I am not a fan of spiders and snakes, but I wouldn't say it's as strong as a phobia. I definitely had a fear of death when I was younger. Yeah.
B
Wow.
A
And I would, like, ask my parents, like, what happens when you die? And they gave me some, like, very unsatisfactory answer. So sometimes I get a little bit when I think about maybe not me dying, but other people dying. I get, like, a little bit of, like, a. Yeah. So that's probably the closest. The closest one that I have, but I feel like I've. I've definitely, like, done work with that.
B
Oh, good.
A
I.
B
Because that's.
A
I know. I know. Yours.
B
What's mine?
A
Vomiting. I don't remember what it's called.
B
It's called emetophobia. I've had it since I've been two years old. And my aunt was walking out of the house and she was pregnant, about to have my cousin, and she threw up on my grass. And I lost. I lost it. I lost it.
A
I thought you were going to say on you. But just on the grass.
B
On the grass. I was watching from the window down. Yeah. On the grass. And I've never been able to deal with it. And, like, even I deal with it better now because I'm older and the kids. But I really Thought that, like, I wouldn't be able to have kids because of it. I couldn't go on, like, public transit. I'd be looking around everywhere. If I was flying, I would turn to the person next to me and be like, you don't. You don't get sick on planes. Right? You don't. Like, it was so stressful and so much anxiety at such a young age. Yeah. I couldn't. I couldn't handle it. I still.
A
Wait, so what about if you, like, have you never gotten so drunk that you.
B
All the time.
A
Oh, all the time.
B
I haven't done. Done that in years.
A
Okay.
B
But it would happen.
A
Like.
B
No, it would happen when I was in college, but I was like, it's fine because I'm not really thinking about it.
A
Okay. Yeah, because you're.
B
Because I'm. You know, I'm like, it's fine, but if someone were to do that around me, I'm. I'm Usain Bolt. You've never seen someone run so fast. Yeah, I would. I remember I was on the sky train with my mom and my friend when I was younger, and she said she didn't feel good. I ran off the sky train, said, see ya.
A
Yeah, you have, like, a germ thing. Is that related?
B
I feel like it's related because I always think of, like, throw up as being like, you got sick.
A
Okay.
B
And then you're gonna make everyone sick around.
A
Yeah. Okay.
B
You know, like, I would rather be sick than s. See it from anyone else. So. Yeah. That also, like, made me a little bit of a germaphobe. And, you know, I. I still am trying to work through that, as, you know.
A
Yeah. I'm trying to get you to take the metro with me.
B
Yeah. Yeah. Public transit. It's not like that I'm trying to be bougie. It's just, like, I feel like there's so many, many people.
A
Yeah.
B
And I'm just like, I know that there's a germ at least right there.
A
Same goes with economy class, I'm assuming.
B
I just prefer. Well, I just. Unless it's, like, I'm sitting next to two people that I know, and I'm the furthest away from everybody else. Like, that's okay, but if I'm alone, I can't. And that's not bougie. That's literally, like, my phobia, my fear.
A
We did have a really gross hotel in Louisville, and we had to move in the middle of the night. Basically, we go to bed kind of early. Sid. We were in our PAJAMA I just. I remember you were in your pajamas, and then you had running shoes on because we couldn't get in bed. There was like, piss stains and, like.
B
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
A
And so I worked on this story.
B
Yeah, yeah.
A
We're calling the front desk, and they're taking so long to come, and Sid is like, I can't be on this bed. So we're like, sitting on this other bed with, like, we couldn't unpack our stuff. And it's late in Louisville. This is for an away game. And then finally someone comes and they send us downstairs, and then we get a new key. And the guy, Sid, has her Louis Vuitton. And he was like, girl, why are you staying at the loft with that Louis? And Sid was like, I don't know.
B
No, the beds literally had, like, holes in it. And we tried to sleep together because of my bed. But also, you know what? I can't stand carpets. Oh, carpets in hotels. I'm like, we're screwed.
A
We're screwed.
B
Carpets. That's why I wear my shoes all the time.
A
Yeah.
B
Like, unless I'm getting on the bed, I'm in my shoes because I know that the carpet has never been cleaned.
A
Girl, why not aloft with that, Louis?
B
I don't know. I do. I do not want to be choice. Oh, my goodness. I sound like such a brat.
A
But it's.
B
It's my. It's my tears.
A
Yeah, It's. It's just. It's just her phobia.
B
Yeah.
A
This is true. Someone was like, I feel like I can ask said anything, and she'll make it. Unhinged. People sent amazing comments. Not even questions, being like, thank you for being honest on the show. And like, we. We really read all of these. And we. We do love you. So it is hard. It is hard to end this. But I want. I have one final question for you guys. This is. I don't know how you're gonna choose, because the question is, what is your favorite Halloween costume worn? And it says, do you prefer homemade or store bought? And I feel like you kind of like, do a mix.
B
Yeah.
A
Because your costumes are unreal.
B
I will say I take Halloween so seriously. I start planning months in advance.
A
It's almost time.
B
As soon as September 1st hits, it's Halloween. Halloween all over the house. So I would say I have, like, I'm not going to toot my own horn, but I am really good at Halloween. I would say Ursula. Oh, with the kids.
A
Was that 2023?
B
2023.
A
Little Mermaid.
B
Yeah. Little Mermaid and Alice in Wonderland was pretty good. Yeah.
A
The makeup.
B
Yeah, I do it myself.
A
What?
B
Yeah. You know that.
A
I knew you did, like, your beautiful glam makeup yourself. I did not know you did your Halloween makeup yourself.
B
I've done all my Halloween makeup. My. Myself. Yeah.
A
So insert photos here.
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You'll see. I don't want you to see the process because it's amazing to show you. Yeah. Beginning to end.
A
I need to see. I need to see the process.
B
What's your favorite Halloween costume?
A
Okay, well, one of my favorites of yours was also Runaway Bride.
B
Runaway Bride was good.
A
That was funny. And.
B
Yeah.
A
Did you also do Forest Gump?
B
Yeah, I did Forrest.
A
I mean, there's just so many. And you do multiple. Like, some of those were the same year.
B
Yes. I'll do four in a year.
A
Probably because you go to different place. You're like, I have the kids trick or treat, like, festival thing, and then we go to this. And then, like, the actual trick or treating.
B
Yeah. And then we have a party or there's something going on somewhere, and then. Yeah, we gotta show up.
A
Lots of opportunities. I also take Halloween very seriously because my birthday is October 30th, and so I have grown up.
B
Same birthday as my mom.
A
Yes. Yes, Sandy. I've taken Halloween so seriously. I've always had a birthday party on the 31st, and everyone comes over in costume and we go trick or treating. And it was. I loved it. And we always did homemade costumes. And one year, I was a trash can, and we made this, like, trash bin, and it had a lid and everything and painted it so it was black. And, like, put the. Whatever. The writing of the, like, services on the outside. And so when my friends came over, they would be like, oh, where's Ali? And my mom was like, oh, she's just getting ready. Like, can you throw this away for me? And then they would see the trash can in the corner, and then I was like. And I would scare them. And it was so good.
B
I'll never forget that. I love that. I love that.
A
It was such. And then it had, like, shoulder straps. So when I stood up, it was just, like, around my.
B
Like, the little green guy in Sesame Street. What's his name?
A
Like, Oscar the Grouch. Yes. Yes. So that was. My parents always helped me and make really cool costumes.
B
You did do Britney Spears for about four years, though.
A
Yes. And I will be doing her again this year. Last year was low key because the team was away traveling, and I was kind of sad, so we did Austin Powers but, yeah, this year I'm deciding between a couple Britneys because she's one of my favorite, like, public figures. And I did like the Oops I Did again with the.
B
Yeah, you love the Oops I Did again.
A
Yeah, that was. Oh, learn the dance.
B
The Clovers were good, too.
A
That was good. I mean, we love. We love Halloween. If you have any requests, any ideas for us for this year. And hurry, hurry.
B
Yes. We got to get it ready. Yeah.
A
Yeah. Okay. Normally this is when we would do last call, but we. We did just answer 300 questions.
