Main Topics & Detailed Breakdown

1. WNBA CBA DRAMA & LOCKOUT RUMORS

Key Segments: 02:24–24:40 | 26:49–29:32

• Players’ Unification and Resolve

  • Sophie stresses that the league is “putting all the pressure on us players to make moves. We’ve made moves. We’re waiting on you guys to respond. And at the end of the day, like, I think they’re waiting for us players to crack. I’m telling you, we are unified as it gets right now.” (02:24)
  • “If we don’t have a season, that says a lot more about the WNBA league than us. Because we’re ready…we are all training, we are all playing. We are ready to go, but we are not going to play for less than what we deserve.” (02:24)

• League Proposals & Player Perspective

  • Sophie details the league’s lackluster CBA “updates,” noting modifications were “literally like half percentages of things. …They keep coming back and changing literally like half percentages. …We’re not even asking [for those changes].” (11:58)
  • The main sticking point is revenue sharing:

    “On the last CBA, the league actually came back to us last night…and nothing happened with the revenue share. And that is the whole thing, what we’re fighting for.” (11:38)

• Revenue Share Compared to Other Leagues

  • NBA/MLB revenue splits are typically 50/50 or near; WNBA players get an “embarrassing” share:

    “In the NBA, if you’re paying $100 [for a jersey], the league gets $50, I get $50. Right now in the W, it’s like the league gets $97, $98 and I get $2.” (13:08) “Last year we were getting like 7, 8%.” (14:14)

• Proposed Season Changes & Expansion Uncertainty

  • The league wants to extend the season and add more games, “but we will never see more than…not even close to 16% of revenue share. And that’s just not going to work. If you want more of our time…you should be giving us more revenue share.” (14:41)
  • Logistical chaos looms (“shit show”) with expansion draft & CBA delays, as all rosters could be thrown into free agency without a timely agreement (23:27).

• Travel & Compensation Improvements

  • Big strides (“chartered flights are only like a year too old”) but still far behind in core compensation (22:42).
  • Sophie: “At the end of the day, it’s like, you also gotta pay your product. …Show us [the finances]. There’s no way we’re trusting you guys. Like, there’s no way. Just show us…” (22:55)

• Housing & Player Sacrifice

  • Disagreement among players about who should pay for housing if salaries rise.

    Sophie: “If our minimum is close to half a million dollars…I think that is something that you would have to give up.” (17:16)

  • The need for nuance: “But I will not sacrifice it for not-guaranteed contracts...that just doesn’t make any sense.” (18:19)
  • Current stipend/housing arrangements insufficient for expensive markets: “For girls who play for like the Liberty and that’s not even half of their rent.” (16:26)

• Key Quote – Player Unity & Threat of Lockout

  “We are not going to play for less than what we deserve…If we don’t have a season, that says more about the league than us.” (21:01)

2. WNBA Insider: Realities of Representation

Key Segments: 09:36–10:18 | 27:00

• Sophie explains the hierarchy of CBA calls:

  “You have so many different executive boards and…player reps, CBA reps…[now] when they see all of us show up, it shows we’re invested. And this is the most invested CBA that the league, I think, has ever been a part of, which is amazing.” (09:36)

• Reflecting on the unexpected skillset athletes must develop:

  “When you were a kid and you probably wanted to play in the WNBA, you thought people were smart, I would just play basketball. And now you’re like a lawyer and like a mediator. Negotiator.” (Host, 26:49)
  “I think it just shows how much there are to not just like athletes, but to everyone. Right. Like, if you had to do that, you find a way to do it if you really want to…I’ve really been intrigued with the business side of our sport, of business in general, because…now that I’m becoming kind of like a businesswoman, it is so fascinating.” (Sophie, 27:15)

  • The “summer of breakfast casserole” is declared, with an in-depth guide to building the perfect one (“hash browns, eggs, sweet/spicy sausage, veggies, lots of cheese, cream, butter”).

[WNBA Player/Guest]

The league putting all the pressure on us players to make moves. We've made moves. We're waiting on you guys to respond. And at the end of the day, like, I think they're waiting for us players to crack. I'm telling you, we are unified as it gets right now. And, like, if we don't have a season, that says a lot more about the WNBA league than us. Because we're ready. Like, we are all training, we are all playing. We are ready to go, but we are not going to play for less than what we deserve. Gang, gang, gang, gang, gang, gang, gang.

[Host 3]

Before we start this, leave in the comments. Is it. Is it gyro or gyro? That is the big question you're having.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

What did we say?

[Host 3]

Episode 35 of the Show Me Something podcast.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

It's the KD podcast.

[Host 3]

The KD episode. You know KD?

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah. Good guy.

[Host 3]

Good guy.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah, I think he's solid. I think he's actually really smart.

[Host 3]

I. I get that vibe as well.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

He's Burner Twitters, though. That's the only.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

That's the only kind of funny.

[Host 3]

Yeah, I think he is funny for, like, responding to trolls. He just has fun on the Internet.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah. Lighthearted. Yeah, I think. I guess we never know.

[Host 3]

I feel like I've seen you more in the last week than I have.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Are you so happy about it? Are you exhausted?

[Host 3]

No, no, I'm good. We've just been outside.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

I know.

[Host 3]

Feet.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

So, actually, just quick thing. We're actually in New York in person because we did stuff with Marriott yesterday for a little something special.

[Host 3]

Special shout out.

[Host 2]

Marriott.

[Host 3]

Let's go.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

And it is Marriott, not Marriott.

[Host 3]

Correct.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Let's get it right, everybody.

[Host 3]

We're working on a lot of pronunciation today. Yeah, that's good for us.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

It is good.

[Host 3]

Thoughts on New York on a day in Midtown, you can be honest.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Okay, well, I think I'm more. I think I like Soho better. I think it's a little bit, like, more trendy. I like the shopping. The vibes are a little more like New York.

[Host 3]

You don't have to defend Midtown,

[WNBA Player/Guest]

but I don't even know what Midtown is. You know what I mean? Like, I feel like I know soho. Ch. Chelsea East, Upper west side, Brooklyn. Like, I'm. I'm getting familiar with My New York map.

[Daniel Cormier]

Oh, yeah.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

But I think I, I always find myself leaning more towards. Oh, and Tribeca. Right?

[Host 3]

Yeah. That's all more downtown, but I think

[WNBA Player/Guest]

I'm leaning, I think I'm more of a soho girl.

[Host 3]

Yeah.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

I don't know what that means, but I am.

[Host 3]

Soho is shopping for the most part, but there's a few, there's like a hidden gem bar here and there.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Like, what are like the top three bars that you would go to? Like, if, if no one has been to New York, where would you go?

[Host 3]

Well, I, I, My watering hole is 82 stand.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Okay.

[Host 3]

Actually, I don't know. I think I can say this. It gets a shout out on Summer House, actually. Yeah, it'll drive. It gets a shout out in this episode that comes out.

[Host 1]

Really?

[Host 3]

Yeah. Shout out. You guys go there? Reagan. KJ went on a date there.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Ooh.

[Host 3]

But I like to think I like, laid the bricks to let them let cameras inside.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

I like that.

[Host 3]

If I'm going to do, if I'm going to eat. Lion's Bar in East Village. It's like a good Guinness. Have you been to Lions Bar? Have not.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Oh, Kev has his own camera today.

[Host 3]

That's sick.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

I like that.

[Host 3]

That's like a good burger. Baked potato, mozzarella sticks. Guess Caesar salad.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yep.

[Host 3]

And third, fancy wise, this is more restaurants, but I've been going to Monkey Bar.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah, I've been to Monkey Bar.

[Host 3]

It's great.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

I do like Monkey Bar.

[Host 3]

It's fantastic.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

And it's dark.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Mm.

[Host 3]

But I, those are like my three. Like, there to drink, there to eat and drink, there to have dinner and like, you have to wear pants and still probably have a drink.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

But wait, that is fun because I, I, sometimes it's very overwhelming coming to the city. Like, it's so fun. But you also don't always know, like, where to go. You know what I mean? Like, there's just so much stuff.

[Host 3]

Have you taken a train yet?

[WNBA Player/Guest]

I did it for the first time last time I was in New York and I thought I was going to get murdered.

[Host 3]

It's the train is. Everyone takes it, though.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

That's what everyone says. But I'm on the tik tok of like, I see huge ass snakes on the sub Snake dude. I, I get on like the. No, I get like on like the, like, crackhead. It's a subway, right? Yeah. I get on like the crackhead subway. I get on, like, there's massive snakes and weird animals on the subway. And like, I know knowing me, I will Be the one that gets strangled by a snake on the subway way.

[Host 3]

Oh, but you're saying like snakes. Like someone's got the snake around there. Yeah, yeah. Shout out, my boy.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

We're not shouting out anyone with freaking snakes. They're disgusting.

[Host 3]

He runs Subway Creatures, which is an Instagram that like, is. It shows you all of the craziest people on the train and like the craziest things that happen and it's. Yeah, it's like snakes and pets and birds and.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

I'm not kidding. I would, I would probably. I would have a anxiety attack if someone came on the subway with like a big ass snake.

[Host 3]

But you're not afraid of animals though.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

I love animals, but snakes are like, kill them all. Huh. Like, I lived in Australia. Big ass snakes there, but was in the city. So nothing. I don't know why I said I live in Australia. I was really talking about Hawaii. There's no snakes in Hawaii.

[Host 3]

Different place.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

There's no snakes in Hawaii. Zero.

[Host 3]

Is that a fact?

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yes.

[Host 3]

Huh.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Because like, you think about it, island in, like the majority of the time you have to bring stuff there.

[Host 3]

Well, that's why there's so many in Australia. Also an island. But they have them all.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

I think, like, social media is always way worse than what it is. And I'm sure, like there are parts of Australia of like where there are these animals. But when Lindsay and I lived there for seven, six, seven months, we didn't see anything.

[Host 3]

Well, yeah, because you're what, in Sydney probably.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

No, we were in Melbourne, but we traveled all over. Yeah. Melbourne. Don't say they ares down there. Correct. And so that. But I will say we did go to Whit Sundays, which is like a beautiful. It's like when you think of something so dreamy. It's like a Fiji. It is like, but we went to a. I guess a couple's getaway. And there's like me and my sister, we did this trail and I'm not kidding, guys. I looked up when we went on this trail and there was a spider this effing big, like above us. Massive.

[Host 3]

Here's a good question. Did the Cunninghams. Are you a family that kills spiders or do you let spiders live?

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Kill those.

[Host 3]

Nope, you gotta let them live. They eat all the bugs and the bad. And the other bad insects.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Well, pause. If they're in the house, kill them outside. Go do your thing.

[Host 3]

Don't. Yeah, you don't kill spiders.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

But like daddy long legs. Like, I love the little daddy long legs. And they're the most poisonous Spider.

[Host 3]

Only on the inside, though. They can't penetrate you with their own

[WNBA Player/Guest]

venom because they have two little amounts.

[Host 3]

Right.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

So, like, I'm. I've always gotten along with daddy long legs, but, like, the big quote card.

[Host 3]

I've always gotten along with daddy long legs.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah, I have. Like, we've always been cool, but, like, all the other ones, like, if they're in the house, like, wolf spiders. We had wolf spiders at our farmhouse growing up. You know what those are?

[Host 3]

Yeah.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah. Big old, gross, scary. That was not it. Kill those.

[Host 3]

My dad found a snake in his barn.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Nope.

[Host 3]

Last year, and it was, like, huge.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

You know we have rattlesnakes in Missouri.

[Host 3]

Yeah.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

I didn't know that.

[Host 3]

Pivoting CBAs.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Dude, we've got a lot to get into.

[Host 3]

So progress. Oh, no, not really.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Lack thereof, really.

[Host 3]

But updates.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Okay.

[Host 3]

Nonetheless.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah. So I do feel like since we've been on here, it's like, oh, what's the cba? You know, update? And we haven't really had a lot to update, but I do want to get into some details, because we've been having CBA calls, which is, like, our player representation in the league. Yep.

[Host 3]

And you're directly a part of these, or you get. You get, like, spark notes?

[WNBA Player/Guest]

No, you are directly a part of these. So you have, like, so many different executive boards and, like, our exec meets, there's, like, player reps, there's CBA reps. Like, there's so many different. But on these calls, when they see all of us show up, it. It shows that we're invested. And this is the most invested CBA that the league, I think, has ever been a part of, which is amazing.

[Host 3]

I would believe that.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah. Super cool.

[Daniel Cormier]

Oh.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

I'm, like, actually prepared. Wait.

[Daniel Cormier]

Whoa.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Well, this is kind of what my homework looked like in college. I don't know if you guys.

[Host 3]

Is that your handwriting?

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah. And then this is a bill.

[Host 3]

From where? Bell Yard.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Oh, nascar. When I had to pay for my own room because Kevin was in my room. Oh, right.

[Host 1]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

Hold on. That's actually a funny story. Already asleep, Kevin just in a robe? Sophie.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

No. Well, Loki. I knocked on the door, and he's like, hello. And I was like, kevin. I was like, get out of my room.

[Host 3]

All the room in this room.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

It was a huge hotel.

[Host 3]

There's just Barry White playing Softly on. On a JBL speaker.

[Captain Morgan Segment Host]

These candles are from that room.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah. All right. I've had enough of this anyway. I don't actually want to read this, but I do. There's so Much to get into. And I think a lot of people who are on the outside, they're like just sign it like your. Your salary increases four times, five times higher. But that's not it at all. And so on the last cba, the league actually came back to us last night at like 10pm and they came back and zero. Nothing happened with the revenue share. And that is the whole thing, what we're fighting for. And they. They go and they change our salary cap, but only like half a percentage. Like they give us like 50 to 100,000 more dollars which is like that's for individual players.

[Host 3]

That's for teams.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Teams.

[Host 3]

Right.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

So like salary cap. So it's like, oh well you're getting more money there. It's like no, we want.

[Host 3]

Doesn't necessarily mean it will even affect you directly.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

They keep coming back and changing literally like half percentages.

[Host 3]

Yeah.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Of things. We're not even asking like we like

[Host 3]

you think it's like a smokescreen to be like, hey, we're giving you this. Meanwhile we're like not actually changing stuff that matters.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah. I think like when you go back and when they. We change a little bit. Right. And like we trying to meet in the. I mean it's not in the middle. It's like we're trying to meet somewhere. But for them, they'll. They won't even talk about revenue share. But that is our whole fight is revenue share.

[Host 3]

Any clue what other leagues stances are on? Rev share?

[WNBA Player/Guest]

I mean if you go to the NBA, if you go to. I mean I think MLB is going to have their self. They have a new CBA negotiation next year and that's going to be kind of a shit show. Like probably going to be a big lockout there because baseball money is just different.

[Host 2]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

But baseball is also more popular I think right now. No offense to the NBA because the NBA fell off a little. I think baseball's kind of popping.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

A cool guy sport at the moment. So I. Yeah, but that'll be interesting.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah. I will say you get to do certain things and there's a lot of people from different sports who are on the league side, on the player side and they always ask us about RCBA and like the revenue share because they know that is a huge piece.

[Host 3]

Right.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Pretty much every other league it's like 50, 50. If you break it down, it's more like, you know, 42 and whatever. But let me explain that. So it's like if you're the league and I'm the player and you Buy my jersey and I'm a male. Say I'm on the. In the NBA, if you're paying $100, the league gets $50. I get $50.

[Host 3]

Okay.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Right now in the W, it's like the league gets 97, $98 and I get two.

[Host 3]

Okay.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

And that's on all. Like, that's 10 tickets, that's drinks. That's anything that is money.

[Host 3]

That somewhat reminds me of old NCAA like name and likeness, where NCAA had rights to all of your name and likeness. And so anything that any money made off of your name or your face or the idea of you, the school And NCAA got 100 of it.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

And then now nil's like, kind of. But it is.

[Host 2]

They.

[Host 3]

They like, couldn't keep doing that.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

No.

[Host 3]

Because people, like, are owed. Like people like people.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yes.

[Host 3]

And athletes.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yes.

[Host 3]

So, like, you can't do that forever. At 90 is 97. Is that like.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

I mean, it's pretty damn close. Like, I think last year we were getting like 7, 8%.

[Host 3]

So when I bought your jersey that

[WNBA Player/Guest]

I went to Kathy, you really don't see any of it. And that's what I'm saying. And another important piece of that is, is like they want to extend our season until November 30th. So they, they.

[Host 1]

And.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

And that gives them. Us way more like you. That's more ticket sales, that's more games. That's more people spending money.

[Host 3]

Yeah.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

And so in our negotiation now, if we signed it, we will never see more than. Not even close to 16% of revenue share. And that's just not going to work. If you want more of our time, then that says even more that you should be giving us.

[Host 3]

Right.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

More revenue share.

[Host 3]

Right.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Like, that just makes sense.

[Host 3]

It's also wear and tear on your body. Like sports are interesting too, because you're like subjecting yourself to.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Well, and they want more games so much. They want. They want 10 plus more games outside of the playoffs. And like you, that is, then you got to pour into your product even more. But I will say I do want to get into this because I think a lot of people, when you are, when you are negotiating things, right. I think you have to sacrifice some things too. And I think that you don't want to chase pennies when there's $10 bills out there. And so I think something that personally our side could do a better job of is housing. I think that if us players are getting paid four or five times more and our revenue share gets to where we want it to get, then you should have to pay for housing.

[Host 3]

Okay.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Unless you're not on a guarantee contract because that would, that's. I think the league should 100% have to pay for that.

[Host 3]

Okay.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Because that's like if you got a 10 day, seven day contract to New York.

[Host 3]

Fully. Fully, fully, fully.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah. Like you're not going to pay for that just makes sense. But they, they haven't moved on housing once. They're like nothing.

[Host 3]

So how does that are you. Is it just a stipend into your contract that is like that like on top of your salary it includes like. Yeah. It's just a number that you can use on rent.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

So what, what it is now is you can either do team housing which they fully pay for and it's like they have an apartment or a group of housing. Oh. Or if you have your own house, I think you get like what like $3700, 44,000. I don't know what the exact number is. 2704 K months. I don't know. I don't.

[Host 3]

For girls who play for like the Liberty and that's not even half of their rent.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

But can. Okay, let's get into that because I think that is an. That is players have brought that up of like okay, well if you live in la, if you live in New York, but hear me out, someone still you're getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars.

[Host 3]

Right.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Revenue goes up. That's even more in your bank account. You live in a market that has a lot of off court opportunity that therefore gives you even more money.

[Host 3]

Yeah.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

And so you have to take that into account when you are going to these teams. Yes. It might be a little bit more pricey but you have more opportunity.

[Host 3]

Okay. Yes. For like a Sabrina and askew. But I would say no for like a bench player. No offense.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

No, no, I feel that. But I think that's why a lot of people have like arguments of like they should always pay for team housing. But Wes, like if our minimum is close to half a million dollars.

[Host 3]

No. Yeah. I'm not anti the the housing but I do think the market like for specific players like only certain people can profit off that where others like way more actually hot take. Yeah, I think. Okay, like again we'll just keep using Liberty here. Sabrina great to be in New York. Like she's going to have a zillion opportunities.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

I would almost rather be a bench player in a smaller market where like your athletes are you love and like I would almost imagine that that community probably embraces the whole Roster, Like, I don't know any. Just Midwest Southern town more than really

[WNBA Player/Guest]

any non big city. Yeah, like, yeah, no, I, I agree with you and I think this is like great conversation because this is like the discussions we're having. And like, here's my. My thing is though, you have to sacrifice something. And if you're getting paid half a

[Host 3]

mil, you're saying this is where players. We need to like, like, like let go of the housing to some people.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Some might not agree with me, but I think that is something that you would have to give up and like cars, like they pay for. Like they give us cars right now. Like, we have to, we have to give up and sacrifice something. But I, but I will not sacrifice it for not guaranteed contracts. Right. Because that's just not fair. Like, that just doesn't make any sense. But the league doesn't see that at all. Which. That just blows my mind. And so I just think that's my viewpoint on, on housing, which is maybe not everyone agrees with that, but I do think like, there are people who. Their income is a way, way, way less than half a million and they're affording it.

[Host 3]

It's not like an offensive suggestion. That's not bad. My only thing would be like the convenience factor where like, okay, so say you just get traded or like signed to a new team and you have to leave tomorrow.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

Like, is it your job to figure out housing then?

[WNBA Player/Guest]

So if you get traded in all that, they, they put you up in a hotel.

[Host 3]

Yeah.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

For X amount of days. You know what I mean? And so that's fine. But I think they only do it until then. And I think in this new CBA negotiations, I don't know if they're going to do that. And so that's kind of our fight is like, there's. There's a selected amount of players that need team housing or there has to be money set aside from the league to help those players who are not under guaranteed or like, who get traded and all that, who are trying to figure it out. And then the people who are guaranteed go pay for your own stuff. But the league isn't. They're like, no one gets nothing.

[Host 3]

Yeah. Any positives in movement? We have nothing positive to report.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

I think it's just funny because I feel like a lot of people on social media, I don't know if you've seen this is like Someone. It's like March 10th, and everyone is like, oh, we have to make a decision March 10, and Adam Silver got on and was like, They're. They're. We have to have a. You know, there's a timeline with all this. They didn't respond to our proposals for six weeks. They're putting, like, all the pressure on us, yet they're not even moving on things that we need them to move on. Like, they are changing every little thing possible except for what we're like, our top freaking things.

[Host 3]

Is there any way to bring in someone from the NBA? Well, I mean, like, what.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

With who for, like, I don't know,

[Host 3]

just who, like, has seen the model and, like, how it works and how to come in. Take a look at, like, what The NBA or WNBA's structure looks like now and, like, just try to be. We already have him objective about, like, moving it forward.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

We have him, and he. He has not done anything. It's like kind of Adam Silver's eyes and ears and, like, it's. I think they're trying to push, but I'm telling you, they are trying to throw money at anything and everything and change half percentages, saying they moved and saying that they're listening to us. Yet. Our biggest thing that they haven't even touched on is revenue share whatsoever. It's like revenue share is like, the. The main thing that we need you to touch on, and you're not doing it. And so that's. That's our biggest problem right now, I'd say. And again, like, the league putting all the pressure on us players to make moves. We've made moves. We're waiting on you guys to respond. And at the end of the day, like, I think they're waiting for us players to crack. I'm telling you, we are unified as it gets right now. And, like, if we don't have a season, that says a lot more about the WNBA league than us, because we're ready. Like, we are all training, we are all playing. We are ready to go, but we are not going to play for less than what we deserve.

[Host 3]

That's gonna feel good, knowing that, like, we're so unified. Yeah, that dude. You guys are all together.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

And that's why, like, I'm not. People are like, oh, are you? I'm like, I'm not fretting whatsoever because I am so proud of us players. For first of all, being engaged, being dialed in. There are so many people on the meeting. So many people are asking questions, which I think is absolutely phenomenal. Like, people are learning, being educated, but I just love so much that we're all like, yeah, it's dope. Some badass bitches over here, lined up arm to arm and being like, yeah, go. Go for it. Like, what? We get a couple more months of vacation in the summer on the lake? Say less.

[Host 3]

So you think there'll be a season or.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

No, I mean, it's up to the league. It's truly up to the league.

[Host 3]

It sounds, from what you've told me, they won't budge for shit, which I think, but neither will you.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

And that's what I'm saying. So, like, as of right now, maybe it's going to get delayed. At the end of the day, we just want to get treated like professional athletes. And I think we've made a lot of great. I mean, just like, our travel is better. The where we stay is better. Like, we have made a lot of

[Host 3]

our, like, second podcast. You told me that chartered flights are only like a year too old.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

And I know, which is insane, right?

[Host 3]

Yeah.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

But like. And so I'm so thankful that we're making huge strides in that. But at the end of the day, it's like, you also gotta pay your product.

[Host 3]

Yeah.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Like, we are. We haven't seen the books. They're talking about expenses and how expenses are. So it's like, show us. Like, show us. And like, we just have to trust us. There's no way we're trusting you guys. Like, there's no way. Just show us if you're. I don't know. There's just so many little things that are, like, common sense to me that just never happens. Got it. And that's coming for me. Like, yeah, simple. Keep it simple. Like, if that's true, then show me. Show me. Oh,

[Host 3]

nice.

[Captain Morgan Segment Host]

The question here, you said the date of March 10th before. So, you know, say the same. The CBA goes well, right? Negotiations get back to happening. So how does that specific date relate to the expansion draft and the kind of decisions and the roster moves that need to be made before then?

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Great question, because I think a lot of people have actually been asking about the expansion draft, but it all is very determined on the cba. And so if you went normally, you can, like, protect six players. You can do all that thing. But I think that that was last cba. And so I guess where it kind of stands now is one, need a cba. Two, I think teams can protect up to five players. But all that looks different because are you going to have core players? Are you going to have people who are protect. Like, it's so dependent on CBA that that's why it's going to be legit a shit show because you have an expansion draft. You have the draft out of college right after March Madness, and then everyone's a free agent. So it's not like people are restricted. No, like our whole league is free. So it's, it's going to be a lot. And that's why March 10, unless the league has a miracle, I don't see. I don't see it.

[Host 1]

Think about your favorite sports memories. Chances are it's not just the game you remember.

[Host 2]

It's the road trips to the big matchups, the tournament weekends, the pack cars full of predictions, playlists and pregame hype.

[Host 1]

That's why Toyota believes people are the destination. The Toyota Grand Highlander is built for those moments.

[Host 2]

With seating for up to eight and space to spare, it keeps the whole crew together. Friends, family, teammates and all the gear that comes with game day.

[Host 1]

From early morning drives to youth tournaments to long road trips for rivalry games

[Host 2]

to watch parties across town with everyone, you know there's room for it all

[Host 1]

when people are the destination. The best sports moments don't start at kickoff. They start when everyone piles in and hits the road together.

[Host 2]

Learn [e-mail] and find the vehicle that fits your people.

[Host 1]

So Arby's just dropped a deal that honestly feels a little unreal.

[Host 2]

Yeah, it's the new Meat in Three box for $7.99, and it's loaded with Arby's favorites in a way that does not feel like a $7.99 situation.

[Host 1]

So here's the setup. You choose your sandwich, a classic roast beef crispy chicken or the crispy fish sandwich. Already a very strong start.

[Host 2]

But then it keeps going because you also get melty mozzarella sticks, crispy curly fries, and a peach cobbler roll, which is a little sweet treat and so good. You genuinely need to try this.

[Host 1]

And there's a small drink in there, too, so even though it's called meat and three, you're actually getting five items for just $7.99. That's kind of wild.

[Host 2]

Pick the sandwich you want, make it your own and get it your own way.

[Host 1]

Available for a limited time at participating locations. While supplies last, prices may vary. Get your Meat in three box at an Arby's near you today.

[Host 3]

Did you know you can get cash

[Host 2]

back with the Venmo debit card?

[Host 1]

Yes. Dub west you earn easy rewards with Venmo Stash.

[Host 3]

[Host 1]

Max $100 cash back per month. See terms at Venmo Me stash terms.

[Host 3]

Isn't it funny that when you were a kid and you probably wanted to play in the wnba, you thought people were smart. I would just play basketball. And now you're like a lawyer and like a mediator. Negotiator.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Okay, you know what? I will activist. I don't know if I'm any of that. Literally just me just trying to figure or learn.

[Host 3]

Yeah, but you have to, like, I mean, this is not that you think athletes, like, are gonna have to spend all their brain power on.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

No, because people go to school to, like, to do this stuff. And, like, I think it just shows how. How much there are to not just like, athletes, but to everyone. Right. Like, if you had to do that, you find a way to do it if you really want to. And so I have actually found it very fascinating. And I've. I've really been intrigued with the business side of our sport, of business in general, because, like, you're right. I've only. It's always been basketball, basketball, basketball. But now that I'm becoming kind of like a businesswoman, it is so fascinating. Yeah. And I think people make it complicated and harder than it needs to be. And I'm like.

[Host 3]

It's almost like one of, like, too many cooks in the kitchen. Probably at some point.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Way too many. Yeah, way too many.

[Host 3]

But, yeah, you want to be unified and have as many. Have as much representation as you can as players, because you're the ones sacrificing almost everything. But I do think once anything is being negotiated, if there are so many people, it almost becomes impossible to like,

[WNBA Player/Guest]

well, you're never gonna please everybody.

[Host 3]

But that's why.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah. I forgot to mention this, and I think this is kind of funny because you said, like, you can't please everyone. The league said actually, like, still in there, that they want to start March 1st, training camp.

[Host 3]

Why?

[WNBA Player/Guest]

First of all, tell me how that makes any sense. March Madness college season. Yeah. Hasn't even ended Right now is March 2nd. But you know what's funny is, like.

[Host 3]

Yeah, it is.

[Host 1]

Yeah.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

But the funny thing about that is, is like the league is saying that, but the coaches of the teams don't even want that.

[Host 3]

Yeah.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

So tell me how that makes sense.

[Daniel Cormier]

What.

[Host 3]

What's your normal date?

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Late April. I think this, this year might be the earliest. Starting, like April 19th.

[Host 3]

Would this be like, involuntary?

[WNBA Player/Guest]

No, like you'd have to be there. It's like training camp.

[Host 3]

How can they. But how does moving it up two months?

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Exactly. It makes no sense.

[Host 3]

Then do you have a break and then your first game starts at the same time?

[WNBA Player/Guest]

They want everyone to be at training camp March 1st. But you were. What about all the college kids who are going to get drafted? Yeah, like how. How's that make. That's the type of stuff that they're trying to argue when that doesn't even make sense.

[Host 3]

Sense if you're a WNBA fan. Good luck. Yeah. Enjoy the NBA while it's on. Captain Morgan's. Captain's calls, huh?

[Captain Morgan Segment Host]

Shout out to Captain Morgan.

[Host 3]

Shout out.

[Captain Morgan Segment Host]

Callers are calling in. They need advice on a variety of subjects and I'm gonna just let it fly right now.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Hey, Sophie. Hey, West. I know this guy swiped left on me, but now we've met in person and he's a vibe should I forget

[Host 3]

and put that swipe behind me?

[Host 2]

Okay.

[Host 3]

Yeah. That's like, when dating apps and technology are like ruining stuff. If you like him in person, don't overthink a stupid fucking app.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Agreed.

[Host 3]

Yeah, don't.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Because speaking for the girls, guys are like, kind of uglier in pictures. Like, they don't do them justice. I feel like. And so when you meet them in person, it's like, oh, wait, like you, you could be cuter.

[Host 3]

Maybe a little knock to your ego. But if you like him in person, don't overthink that. Ask him jokingly bring it up and be like, how can I fix this? Maybe you had a dumb prompt question.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

Or something. Or you posted a picture with all your girlfriends and like, he looked at the wrong one. You never know.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

B. That's B. I like.

[Captain Morgan Segment Host]

That's a good confidence booster. I like that one. Let's go with that one. All right. Keep at it, girl.

[Daniel Cormier]

Keep.

[Host 3]

Keep shooting your shot.

[Host 2]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

You're so good.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

All right. Yeah.

[Captain Morgan Segment Host]

All right, next one here. It's a two part question for the fans.

[Caller Josh]

Hey, Sophie. Hey, Wes. This is Josh from Los Angeles. First of all, Wes, congrats on your cats. National champions.

[Host 3]

Oh, yeah, I couldn't hear him right away.

[Caller Josh]

Well, actually, I have two questions. Let's start with the easy one. Sophie, can you do no Second, mostly for Sophie, but I want Wes's Wes input on this one. I'm about. About 6 foot, but I find girls Sophie's height and taller very attractive. I also understand girls don't want to date guys shorter than them. So should I just accept that my queen is going to be shorter than me, or is there something I can do to get taller girls attention? Would be fascinating to hear you guys take on this. Anyways, love the show. Hope you guys are doing great at a nice New Year holiday period and that Kev had a great time with his family.

[Host 3]

I like this guy. Josh, follow your kinks, dog. Follow your kinks. Don't let anyone kink shame you. That's like a normal one, too. There's so many people in the world. You're gonna meet a tall queen out one day, and she's gonna sweep you off your feet and then carry you home, too. You're so good. I'm rooting for you.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

I don't think I'm the right tall person to ask because I could never date someone shorter than me because I already feel big. So, like, I wanted someone that's gonna make me feel smaller.

[Host 3]

I get that.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

But. But. I know, but there are so many. There are so many guys who have taller girls. I think people have really good energy and, like, I love, like, I love so many people, but, like, if you.

[Host 3]

Except for short guys, like.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

No, no, no, no, no, no. I just can. I just can't. I. I would just feel like the man in my relationship.

[Host 3]

Also, let me say, Josh, six foot isn't short.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

No, that's not.

[Host 3]

That's fucking chill.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

Yeah, I like that. You know what?

[WNBA Player/Guest]

You like facts.

[Host 3]

Go hang out at, like, rec. Go hang out at the Wreck and, like, and post someone up. And then I think that you need

[WNBA Player/Guest]

to try actually go to sand volleyball. Beach volleyball? Yeah, do beach volleyball, because there's a lot of tall girls there. Or volleyball in general. And, like, I don't know, like, they. That could be a vibe.

[Host 3]

Go find you a setter, Josh.

[Host 2]

All right, y', all, it's time for a new segment powered by Captain Morgan.

[Host 1]

We're calling it Captain's Calls, where you send your should I or shouldn't I dilemmas, your hot takes, your unpopular opinions,

[Host 2]

the messy ones, the bold ones, the

[Host 3]

I might regret this later ones.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

If you need some advice or how

[Host 1]

to get it right, we're giving you the captain's call.

[Host 3]

So if you've got a life decision,

[Host 2]

a risky text, a group chat, controversy, or a take, you're scared to post.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Send it in, baby. Let the captains decide.

[Captain Morgan Segment Host]

In the meantime, W fans, you can

[WNBA Player/Guest]

work on your breakfast casserole. Dude. Thousand percent. You can get thicky like a snicky like our man west over here. Dude, your ass is fat.

[Host 3]

Someone tweets the casserole in my ass. Being in the same icebreaker are beautiful.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

I love that.

[Host 3]

Some guy tweeted at me the other day and said, I need a thicky like at Conrad Wilson.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Dude, you have. You. I feel like you've always kind of had a butt.

[Host 3]

I mean, I have, like, a football body, I like to think. Or just like, you know.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah. But I feel like you. Yeah. You got a little. Little junk in the.

[Host 3]

I try to make sure that I keep my, like, playing build.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

You know, because that's always a compliment when someone's like, you look like you played football. Yeah. You ever see a guy. You ever see a dude with no ass? Like, he's like, shirts tucked in. Like at a wedding, shirts tucked in. And it just. You're like, is there an ass there? It's so weird and, like, ugly.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

What about girls whose shirts are tucked in?

[Host 3]

No, but. But I. I think genetically you still.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Are you eating your words?

[Host 3]

No. Our bodies are built.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

There will always be some ass.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

I think I'm.

[Host 3]

But there's guys who, like, literally, I mean, saying, like, they don't have butts.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah. No, it's gross.

[Host 3]

It's one of the weirdest things ever. And it's. There's so many dudes with.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

No, but it almost, like, goes in.

[Host 3]

It just. I'm like, you know, one could, like, reproduce with you. It's so unathletic looking and like.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

If someone robbed. If someone robbed your house, the guys who don't have butts will all. They're going to, like, fall flat now. It's not meant to be a pun, you know, like an Astero, I guess. I don't know, dude.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Can I tell you, though, I. I have had so many trainers just like, because people move all the time in the pros and they're always like, what's your goal? And I said, I want a skinny waist. I want a fat ass.

[Host 3]

Yeah.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

I have tried. I can't. I think I run too much.

[Host 3]

Oh, cardio probably hurts.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

No, actually, that's not. Well, basketball cardio.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

Interval training, like, sprint training is good for your legs.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

Stairmaster.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

My legs are fine. But I just.

[Host 3]

It's also genetics, too.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Paula and Jim.

[Host 3]

Paula. Damn.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

It gave me nothing but You.

[Host 3]

I think if you weren't hooping and you did, like, squats. Yeah. What kind of legs do you guys do?

[WNBA Player/Guest]

I mean, squats, Single leg squats, RDls. We do stuff. I'm telling you. Like, I can't.

[Host 3]

But it's never heavy, though. Or is it?

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah, it's heavy. Like in the off season.

[Host 1]

Yeah.

[Host 2]

Okay.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

It doesn't work.

[Host 3]

Thoughts on the Internet? One of the tick tocks I saw said not to objectify, man. And then it's all just about my body.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

I don't. I. I find it endearing, but double standard. Better not post that about women girls on my show.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah, right. Wait, okay, everybody, Arby's just dropped something new, and I'm not gonna lie, it's kind of wild.

[Host 3]

The new meat and three box is going for 7.99, so break it down.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

All right, you start by picking your sandwich. You have a classic roll, roast beef, a crispy chicken, or the new crispy fish. Honestly, no, bad choice here.

[Host 3]

And then they keep it coming. You've got the curly fries, the mozzarella sticks, and the peach cobbler roll.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

I'm just saying that dessert might quietly steal the entire show.

[Host 3]

And yeah, there's a drink in there too. So it's called the meat in three. But RBC is hooking you up with

[WNBA Player/Guest]

five items, five things for 7.99. It's all the Arby's classics you already love.

[Host 3]

So whether it's lunch, dinner, or you just need something solid that actually satisfies.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

The Meat in three Box is. Is the move we talk about. What makes a great breakfast casserole, though? Because I like the spicy sausage and, like, normal sausage a little bit. Like, that's a good little combo.

[Host 3]

Sweet and spicy.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

I like that.

[Host 3]

Well, one, actually baking, like, baking actually does require some brain power.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Agreed.

[Host 3]

So I can't just say, like, throw everything in a bowl and, like, just let it go. But I mean, all the things that aren't good are. That aren't good for you are going to be what makes it good.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

So, like, butter.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

Hash browns.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Butter.

[Host 1]

Butter.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Butter.

[Daniel Cormier]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

I didn't even put that much. I buttered the pan.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

Cream in the eggs, I think.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Like, wait, I think people have seen it, but, like, tell them what. What you made. Like, go layer by layer. Okay.

[Host 3]

Breakfast casserole. I mean, it's all in a pot.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

It's in a bowl, and then you put it into the pan. Actually, first off, sorry, I got a lot of people tag me in videos being like, I'M blown away by the scene that Wes made at breakfast casserole. And the whole house has no clue what it is. And they're like, do these fucking east coast people not know what a fucking casserole is?

[WNBA Player/Guest]

A lot of people don't know. It's the Midwesterns. Midwesterners put everything into casserole.

[Host 3]

Yeah.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

The coast do not. They don't know really what casseroles are.

[Host 3]

Yeah. But I felt seen by the people who were, like, blown away that I was getting, like, weird vibes from everyone after I put my neck, my back, my. My crack into this breakfast casual.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

This is your fourth year, though, isn't it? Third dirt. And they finally put it on the show.

[Host 3]

Thank God it's catching on.

[Host 2]

Every year.

[Host 3]

There's one thing that I do that I forget about that, like, sticks with me for six months. And I'm getting tagged in, like, hella casserole videos right now.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah, it could be a lot worse.

[Host 3]

So, okay, so hash browns, 12 eggs, cream. And then I do veggies. You don't have to do veggies. And it gives it color. Jalapeno, red bell pepper, sweet onion.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

And then sweet sausage and spicy sausage. And then I think, for the most part, that's it. Oh, cheese.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah. Salt, pepper, salt, pep. Yeah.

[Host 3]

Maybe a little garlic powder like that. And then that just goes into a pan, and then it's, like, thrown in for an hour.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Say cheese.

[Host 3]

Yeah.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Okay.

[Host 3]

Shredded on top.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Oh, yeah, you said that. Yeah, yeah.

[Host 3]

And then bring it out. Take the tin foil off, Shred the cheese right on top. Yeah. If you have breadcrumbs, do it just for vibes. And then I did a little paprika on top.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

To give it color. And then put it back into, like, broil for, like, another 15.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

And I'll also say, do you make one or two? What did, like, I know the show had. But did you make two? Because I feel like I made one.

[Host 3]

It fed everyone. Oh, it's like a brick. Yeah. It goes a long way. It's dense.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

A casserole is dense.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

A casserole, in my opinion.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Okay.

[Host 3]

I think is better in the morning after it sits and. And kind of becomes a family.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

And then the flavors mix a little bit. You know, you got to let it settle. I think it's like pasta, too.

[Host 1]

I think pasta.

[Host 3]

I think, like, a lot of things. You make chili, too? Yes, but it's almost like it's so fresh and so hot. You're not getting, like, all of it. They're like the main.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

It's like the chemicals and the molecules don't have time to become a new flavor.

[Host 3]

Weirdly, what you said, I can't believe that made sense, but it fully did.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

The chemicals and the molecules

[WNBA Player/Guest]

flavor.

[Host 3]

Holy hell.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Feels like I'm getting smarter.

[Host 3]

So. Yeah, that's a casserole. I If. I'm sorry if people like work so confused, but it's like not that crazy of a thing. I will say also what people do in the Midwest. Green bean casserole for Thanksgiving.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Hash brown casserole. Spicy spaghetti casserole. A cheeseburger casserole me up.

[Host 3]

You could do anything. Honestly, like, lasagna in a way is basically casserole. But yeah, so it's looking like the. The summer of breakfast casserole.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

I love that. Oh, and I also do.

[Host 3]

You can wait.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

What?

[Host 3]

Sorry. Also in this episode that comes out this week, now that I'm catching on to people, like really like Midwest people when they see me do something Midwest, eat it up. It's. It's storming in the backyard and I walk out to the back, to the back patio and I just start taking in the storm. And I'm like this.

[Captain Morgan Segment Host]

But life's.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Can you smell it? Yeah, I just love that. I love it.

[Host 3]

It's so good.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

And I also love the smell of cut fresh grass. That. That's a kind of Midwestern thing, I think too. But the. You can just smell the rain.

[Host 3]

It's the best. And the sound.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

I feel like you do have to whisper when you're talking about that. Yeah, it was beautiful.

[Host 3]

I took it in with. I took it in the storm with Ben on the back patio. It was really nice.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Wait, speaking of summer house though, are you like loving kind of being the

[Host 3]

new party planner, you know, But I've always. I've always been that way and I've thrown a party every year, but I

[WNBA Player/Guest]

feel like you're finally getting the credit of like. Like you throw good ass parties.

[Host 3]

Thank you for that. The first one rocked because we had like a lot of the. The boys were there and that was just good. And county fair felt like such a good. It's fourth of July adjacent.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yep.

[Host 3]

But like with the. The perfect me twist. And that felt like the best way to do fourth of July because you can't go like fully rogue with fourth of July. But yeah, it was good. I used to invite fun people.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

I know.

[Host 3]

Big fucking news flash for playing good party. Make sure people there are fun and cool.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

One of my agents, he's a boy and he's highly obsessed with all Bravo and especially Summer House.

[Host 3]

All Bravo.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah. Yeah. He's great. But he's always like. Do you think that they plan their drunk meal? Because he's like, they either. Right when they get home, they either go straight to the room or they go straight into the kitchen for, like, the drunk.

[Host 3]

That's why I think some are how people like it is because there's just so many moments that are so just genuinely us. Yeah. If there's Mac and cheese in the house, I will always walk in and boil.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

He literally said that. He goes. They walk straight in, get a thing of water, and start boiling it. Yeah.

[Host 3]

Drunk Mac and cheese is a fun.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

So good.

[Host 3]

Treasure cheese.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Which Mac and cheese do you get?

[Host 3]

So sometimes there's been craft, but there's also a thing called the oodles. Have you heard of oodles? It's like, healthy Mac and cheese.

[Captain Morgan Segment Host]

Yeah, right?

[Host 3]

Oh, no, no, no, no, no. It's still good, though.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Oh, it is. Yeah.

[Host 3]

So good. They just, like, are like, we're more healthy than.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

I just feel like shells is the best with that gross cheese that no one ch.

[Host 3]

That's probably been in there. It's just we always. So someone orders groceries. It's like, someone's weak.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Well, yeah. Tell me that someone. So each. So I love this. So you tell me. So would you order it on a Tuesday, Wednesday?

[Host 3]

How do you know it's a producer. The first weekend will be, like, someone order groceries, like, don't forget. Or you guys don't have any food. So someone, like, volunteer.

[Host 1]

Okay.

[Host 3]

Usually, like, older people do it. Like, I will say also because my. I almost just said my freshman year, the first year I did it. They're so good about, like, new people don't have to, like, buy dinners or groceries or whatever.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Wait, the show doesn't pay for the dinners?

[Host 3]

Sometimes. But also, I think about it, like, could there potentially be beef? Or, like, a weird interaction? Because, like, maybe Jesse, like, didn't pay for, like, 18 dinners in a row and, like, always went to the bathroom and the check came out or something? Like, like, it's never happened. But, like, could you. Because some people resist. People are weird. Or like, what if someone, like, got dinner and then asked us to Venmo them in the morning? That's weirdo.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah. You know, imagine if Carl asked for Venmo every time he got bagels.

[Host 3]

Yeah.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah, maybe he does.

[Host 3]

No.

[Host 2]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

No. Everyone's a big, happy family. But, like, what if. Okay, say someone new comes in.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Okay.

[Host 3]

And, like, they got a dinner and then they, like, sent everyone like a 20 Venmo.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Like, that's not what we do around here.

[Host 3]

You just be, like, kind of just grossed out. Yeah, Venmo. Venmo etiquette is, like, very much a real thing, though.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah. I never asked for Venmos.

[Host 3]

I've. I haven't in a long time. Sometimes if it's like Airbnbs, I will. If I cop the Airbnb.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

That's different. I'm talking about, like, meals and stuff like that. It all comes back around. Like, take care of your people. Yeah.

[Host 3]

I went to a dinner that my friends still talk about where one of the girls only ate a side of mashed potatoes and the check came around and we were like, can we split it? And she was like, I just got potatoes. And we were like, it just added like 10 more minutes of fucking math to everyone's night and you're just like,

[WNBA Player/Guest]

fuck, pay for it.

[Host 1]

Come on.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah, please.

[Host 3]

Come on.

[Host 1]

Think about your favorite sports memories. Chances are it's not just the game you remember.

[Host 2]

It's the road trips to the big matchups, the tournament weekends, the pack cars full of predictions, playlists, and pre game hype.

[Host 1]

That's why Toyota believes people are the destination. The Toyota Grand Highlander is built for those moments.

[Host 2]

With seating for up to eight and space to spare, it keeps the whole crew together. Friends, family, teammates, and all the gear that comes with game day.

[Host 1]

From early morning drives to youth tournaments to long road trips for rivalry games

[Host 2]

to watch parties across town with everyone, you know there's room for it all

[Host 1]

when people are the destination. The best sports moments don't start at kickoff. They start when everyone piles in and hits the road together.

[Host 2]

Learn [e-mail] and find the vehicle that fits your people.

[Host 1]

So Arby's just dropped a deal. That honestly feels a little unreal.

[Host 2]

Yeah, it's the new meat in three box for $7.99. And it's loaded with Arby's favorites in a way that does not feel like a $7.99 situation.

[Host 1]

So here's the setup. You choose your sandwich, a classic roast beef crispy chicken, or the crispy fish sandwich. Already a very strong start, but then

[Host 2]

it keeps going because you also get melty mozzarella sticks, crispy curly fries, and a peach cobbler roll, which is a little sweet treat and so good. You genuinely need to try this.

[Host 1]

And there's a small drink in there, too, so even though it's called meat in three, you're actually getting five items for each. Just $7.99. That's kind of wild.

[Host 2]

Pick the sandwich you want, make it your own and get it your own way.

[Host 1]

Available for a limited time at participating locations. While supplies last, prices may vary. Get your meat in three box at an Arby's near you today.

[Host 3]

Did you know you can get cash

[Host 2]

back with the Venmo debit card?

[Host 1]

Yes. Doug West. You earn easy rewards with Venmo Stash.

[Host 3]

So you're saying even stuff like buying midnight snacks can earn cashback rewards.

[Host 1]

Small returns, big energy. With Venmo Stash, you can get up to 5% cash back at your fave brands. Just pick a bundle of your go tos to shop with your Venmo debit card and earn cash back at them. And you're free to mix up things. You can easily swap out your bundle of brands every 30 days. Earn more cash when you do more with stash. Venmo stash terms and exclusions apply. Max $100 cash back per month. See terms at Venmo Me stash terms.

[Host 3]

So then go back to the groceries someone sends. Like, what does everyone want? And like, I'm usually not that picky, but like, like, sometimes the guys are like, we need like protein in the fridge, like, whatever. And then the girls usually just want stuff for like cocktails and like fruit.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

And so someone orders and like, you hopefully like, don't it up.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

But then you like, we like take turns every weekend ordering stuff. Wait, but like, so breakfast casserole weekend. I was like, I got it. Because I'm gonna make a breakfast casserole. Makes sense in the morning.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

So I could do that. Amanda makes guacamole some days.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

Lindsay makes up pineapple upside down cake. People are going to have their own things now. They're like honey that they're going to make.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

Yeah. And then usually, like, if you want to make it that weekend, then like, that'll be your time to order grocery.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

You know how like everyone does kind of like have a dinner or like a whatever. How do you know if you're like going to go out for dinner or if you want to like hire a chef and like have a hibachi night or have like a Italian night?

[Host 3]

It's kind of just up to you. I mean, like, you can cook. You can bring someone in to cook or we can go out. All right, real talk. I've been living in my JLAB earbuds lately. Like flights, gym sessions, walking to grab coffee. They're just always in and the crazy

[WNBA Player/Guest]

part about it is that the battery life is actually ridiculous. I generally can't remember the last time I charged them, and it's been weeks.

[Host 3]

The sound is legit. Clear, loud, no weird distortion when you crank it up.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Also, I've been using their over ear headphones on flights, which is a game changer. The noise canceling hits and it's super comfortable when you're trying to take a little sleepy.

[Host 3]

And here's what I love. JLab doesn't make it complicated. You're getting premium features without paying some insane premium price, which is whether I'm

[WNBA Player/Guest]

locked in at a game, zoning out on a plane, or just vibing to music while walking around. They've got something for whatever mood I'm in.

[Host 3]

JLab creates tech for every move, every mood, and every version of you. Headphones, earbuds, wireless speakers, and more. You get premium features without paying the premium price.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

So go look for the blue box at Walmart, Target, Best Buy and more. Use code something on jlab.com for 20% off your order. And I actually have them right here with me and they are so cutesy.

[Host 3]

Another interesting thing. So the Hamptons is not like this big metropolitan area.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

I've never been. I don't. I don't even know.

[Host 3]

Our house is in the woods.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Okay.

[Host 3]

It's in the middle of the woods. So, like, if you're ordering food, there's not a lot of places to order from. Like, McDonald's sometimes will deliver. I think there's a Wendy's.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Oh, no, no.

[Host 2]

Okay.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

I was gonna say we need to talk about the little.

[Host 3]

The guy.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

Did you see it yet or.

[Daniel Cormier]

No.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

The one little tiny bite.

[Host 3]

They said it's the meme from when the Krusty Krab. When he just. When it zooms in and his lips get peeled and he. And he nibbles it with his teeth. Sorry, guys, we're Talking about the CEO from McDonald's did a video eating.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Well, he had like a huge.

[Host 3]

Eating a cheeseburger. And it's the fucking weirdest video of all time.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Clearly he doesn't believe in his product.

[Host 3]

He called it a product instead of a cheeseburger, but he just takes like a. Like the most nibble of this cheeseburger I've ever seen. And then he.

[Host 2]

And then he goes.

[Host 3]

I'm like, is it your first time eating a cheeseburger?

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Wait, can I tell you something? I went down a rabbit hole for two days one time that the. This is what it said. It's not like set in Stone that it's true because it's on the Internet. But CEO. Hey, guys.

[Host 3]

Everything on the Internet. Not all true, by the way, but

[WNBA Player/Guest]

CEO of McDonald's doesn't let any of his kids eat McDonald's. Who. This is so stupid of me. Who's the guy who started Apple?

[Host 3]

Tim Cook?

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Steve Jobs. Yeah, but none of them even have Apple product and don't allow their kids to use any of it. Tell me why that. That's the red flag.

[Host 3]

I know the Campbell soup guy got in trouble recently for being like, I. I would never let anyone, like, have Campbell's soup. It's, like, meant for. He said something really. He said it's, like, for poor people or something crazy.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Well, I must be poor, because I found it was really good.

[Host 3]

I would. I would crack open the tomato soup from Campbell's and if I made a grill.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Cheese. Grilled cheese.

[Host 3]

Come on, bro.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

But is it. Is that not, like, a little concerning of, like, all these people, like, they don't let their own family use it or eat it.

[Host 3]

Yeah, but that's not. That's. That's not surprising anymore.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

You know, Epstein,

[Captain Morgan Segment Host]

Everybody.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

All right.

[Host 3]

Yeah. It's kind of. It's kind of a metaphor for capitalism.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Anyway, you said there's, like, McDonald's. There's, like, a pizza place. There's.

[Host 3]

Yeah. Actually, I don't.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

I don't.

[Host 3]

I can't think of the last time we had pizza. Oh, no, we did.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

I thought it was, like, one of the first episodes.

[Host 3]

You're so right.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

You're so right. And then, like, there's a Chinese place that we'll order from that, like, that's usually the best. And that does well in the fridge.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

When we come home.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

So if we order, like, we'll come home. And then there's leftovers, too, from dinner.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

Which is good. But I have. I don't think I've ever walked through those doors after midnight and, like, not gone to the kitchen.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

Plus, when you're, like, out and it's club. I will say this, too. When we go out, it is a lot of. Like, there's not cameras, but we do, do, do a lot of. We're with each other, but it's. Sometimes it's pictures and talking and. And, like, doing that whole thing. And so then we all Uber home and get to, like, kind of, like, let our hair down a little with just each other.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yep.

[Host 3]

And we. I mean, I always forget that it's fudgeing on a show, like, because it's just like, fucking three little GoPros.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

You know.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Oh, in the. In the cars.

[Host 3]

No, in the kitchen.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Oh.

[Host 3]

Like, we've been away from production for so long. When we come home. Yeah. Like, we haven't been filming for, like, six hours. Okay, so then we're not six, but, like, three or four.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

So then we come back, and you're like. Your guard is so down. It's like. It just isn't good vibes. There's a moment, too, where production will be like, all right, like, we're going home. Like, have fun tonight. Do whatever. And it. This is, like.

[Daniel Cormier]

So.

[Host 3]

I don't know if you guys think this is, like, so lame, but when they, like, call it and we're all about to, like, go out not mic'd up without cameras, everyone in the house takes their mic off at the same time. It's like. It's like. Like, kind of like getting ready for the night out, and everyone just, like. It's kind of like this freedom gesture. And so we all, like, take it off, hand it, and we all, like, say our goodbyes to everyone and then go out. And it's, like, kind of funny when. I don't know, we just, all, like, at the exact same time. Like, Mike's.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

It's like. It's like you just like. Yeah, I love that.

[Host 3]

Yeah.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah, I love that.

[Host 3]

I don't know. I. I just think it's a fun show because it's. We're all just like, hang. We just hang out in the house.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Host 3]

There's some mics all over the house, too.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

See, I think I would get trouble. Not trouble, but, like, I also, like. Yeah, like, I'm too, like, present of a person that I just, like, say whatever.

[Host 3]

The show doesn't, like, want us canceled, though.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

No, no, I'm not saying I'd say canceled stuff, but, like, kind of just like how I will always just think it's funny that, like, when you made fun of the girls crying for the first time, like, I would always be talking like that. You know what I mean? Like, not purposely trying to stir the pot, but just, like, why did she just cry? You know what I mean? Like, I don't know, but that is fun. That is good. Yeah, I want more bloopers.

[Host 3]

Yeah, I want more. That's what our. That's what our tick tocks are for.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yes. And then people are eating those up. Like, that's what people want to see are, like, the bloopers are the. The fun thing.

[Host 3]

I have to sit on those for so long. And like, they're the funniest videos ever. And I just have to like, I just look at them in my drafts for seven months and I'm like, I can't wait to do this.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Wait, so when, when stuff is dropping by like weekly, are you like, oh, I finally get to drop, like.

[Host 3]

Yeah, so like, the one for this week, I'll post it tomorrow. KJ and I were like, around the pool, like, sword fighting and I like, swords are like lights and like, tripped and fell in the pool and like, pulled my phone out and like, threw it. Like, that stuff never makes it. The other we got a pool basketball hoop and I made it from the patio upstairs this summer. And like, I just know it won't make it.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

You just heard about it.

[Host 3]

I hope Bravo doesn't get mad at me, but we have like a golden years party where we all dressed up as, like, older people.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Oh, hell yeah.

[Host 3]

And you know how everyone thinks I'm like. People think I look like Robin Williams.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

So I did Mrs. Doubtfire and I'm like drastic Mrs. Doubtfire the whole time. And I did like multiple tiktoks to her audio.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Host 3]

That I'm like, so good. Yeah. That'll hopefully explode.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

My Lindsay, My sister Lindsay, cuz like, they, you know, they show you like clippets of whatever and she's like, I think that the old people, because you guys go all out like balls to the walls in your costumes, which make it even way better.

[Host 3]

Yeah.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

But she goes, I think it's so funny because, like, everyone's kind of like, arguing or like, whatever, but everyone like, looks old. I think that is so funny.

[Host 3]

No, they cut to the trailer is a scene of me being like, so sad and I like, laying my head down and I have a wig on and like a, a brooch thing on my, like a flower and earrings.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

But that is so funny.

[Host 3]

It is good.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

It's Lindsay was dying. She's like, how do they even, like, have serious or like, dramatic conversations when everyone looks like, old like that? Yeah, I think it's funny.

[Host 3]

I, I, I've seen on the Internet a lot that people, like, love that part of it.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

So good. Yeah, it's good.

[Captain Morgan Segment Host]

All right, and now to the next one, guys. Some Arby's. Hot girls of the week. Speaking of hot girls, maybe some tall ones. Josh, listen up.

[Host 3]

Josh, my hot girl of the week is a very special woman. She works in Atlanta, okay?

[WNBA Player/Guest]

She the one who clipped your ears off?

[Host 3]

Not my ears. She, she lined up my beard. She brought My mustache down. And gave me the MVP treatment with.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

What do you mean? What do you mean? Mustache down?

[Host 3]

So, like, usually you see, like, this. Her name's Mo. I got to give her a shout out. She's lovely. So fun.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Okay.

[Host 3]

Gave me the best day of my life.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Oh.

[Host 3]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I don't care. Like, what's the main scent that people use for, like, spa stuff? Lavender hot towel. Put on my face with, like, lavender oils. I had to show her love because she made my day lovely.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Really? Wait, can you tell me. So when you say just down, you just mean just trimmed?

[Host 3]

Yeah, but, like, it's. Usually the mustache is more than my beard. We just even them all out like this. It's like this part is still technically a mustache.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

But it's just. It's not longer than the rest of this.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah. Okay.

[Host 3]

Does that make sense?

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you normally do that?

[Host 3]

No, I usually just. I usually do my beard all by myself.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Really?

[Host 3]

But I don't trim here. I just trim it in front of my lips. But I don't, like, full razor it. Does that make sense?

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah. And I. I complimented you yesterday. The eyebrows are looking good, too.

[Host 3]

Thank you.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah. That hurts. Threading hurts.

[Host 3]

Don't tell people that. I.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

No. Next.

[Host 2]

Next.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Wait, can we talk about that?

[Host 3]

Eyebrow threading?

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah. No, I think that men should groom themselves. And can I also tell you something? And I know women are. Will never admit this, ever. We dermaplane our face, too. We have hair on our face. And, like, everyone's like, oh, I don't. We all have hair on our face. I did. I always cut myself.

[Host 3]

And you're blonde, so that's like. Yeah, I know. Yeah. There's people who probably like, really appreciate it.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

It's weird to talk about, though.

[Host 3]

I don't think it is.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

No. I think there's a stigma around, like, women taking the hair off their face.

[Host 3]

Not that that might be a you guys thing, because I don't think about it much.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah. I don't think men do, but I think for women, like, we. We like, everyone. Dermaplanes.

[Host 3]

I don't even know what dermaplane is.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Okay, so dermaplane is like. It helps with, like. You do it at spas, Dude, I.

[Host 3]

Do you know what Nair is?

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah. Did you do it?

[Host 3]

I put it on my. I used it on my balls in college. I use it on my balls in college. And it's so bad for you.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Oh, yeah.

[Host 3]

I was like, oh, this way I don't have to, like, shave my balls. I. I burned probably, like, so many important things off my, like, inside of me. Someone said someone was like, just use this. And I was like, okay.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

But that was when it was brand new. But then it, like, came out real fast. It, like, burned you? Yep. Did it just start burning?

[Host 3]

Kind of, but all the hair came off.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

So did you still use it?

[Host 3]

The chicks are really grossed out by me, actually, with, like, the smoothest balls in all of Montana. Yikes. I've heard. Yeah. As I've gotten older, I know that that's not the way to go.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

So you still don't use it? Why do you look like that

[Host 3]

anyways? Dermaplane.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Dermaplane is a lot of, like, when you go get facials and stuff like that, it's. It's like this blade, and it gets, like, dead skin off, but it also gets, like, the hair off your face, and it, like, makes your. Your face look, like, very smooth and shiny.

[Host 3]

Oh, okay.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah. Like, do it all the time.

[Host 3]

Where do you think?

[Host 2]

Would you.

[Host 3]

If you didn't use it, would you have, like. Would you have, like, lamb chop sideburns?

[WNBA Player/Guest]

No, because. Mustache? No.

[Host 3]

Just taking the floor. Just new, like, new facial hair.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah, no, I actually, funny story. Real quick's gonna kill me. I'm blonde. So, like, I feel like my. I don't really have a lot of hair in general anyway. And, like, I have to, like, dye my eyebrows because, like, I barely have eyebrows. But Lindsay has. And, like, I feel like girls who have. With darker hair, they do have kind of like.

[Host 3]

Yeah.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

A little musty, A little shadow.

[Host 3]

Yeah.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Listen to this.

[Host 3]

No worries.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

It was so funny because Lindsay was, like, just going into high school, you know, like, you're already kind of nervous being a freshman and puberty. Yeah. Our little cousin, he was like. I think in, like, first grade or second grade, he goes, why do you have a mustache?

[Host 3]

Oh, no.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

I just think it's so funny.

[Host 3]

But he was.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

She. Well, Lindsay doesn't even have a mustache. Like, it, like.

[Host 3]

But it's. I'm sure.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

But you guys, it's like, just like. Like, you know how some girls actually have a mustache? Lindsay, like, maybe had, like. It's just a little.

[Host 3]

Yeah.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

I don't even know what you call it.

[Host 3]

We all know that everyone grows hair in the same places.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

It's all good, Linds.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

Is she still.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

No, she dermaplates.

[Host 3]

So that's that hagger Louie. Who's yours?

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Okay, you know what? I will give mine to my flight attendant on the way up here. Love her name Was Ashley.

[Host 3]

Ashley.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yep. Ashley was great. And the only reason why I'm gonna give it to her is because she gave me an extra blanket, an extra pillow on my red eye. So let's give it to her.

[Host 3]

Two blankets.

[Host 1]

Yeah.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

It was cold, bro.

[Host 3]

She should have given you. Did she give you extra sun Chips?

[WNBA Player/Guest]

No, I was asleep. I didn't. I missed my meal. I missed my meal sometimes.

[Host 3]

I haven't been eating my. My plane meals recently.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Honestly, kind of gross. They've. They're not as good as they. They need to. Oh. Also, not a big fan of Southwest anymore.

[Host 3]

Never was.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Dude, bags are so expensive. They're. You can't sit anywhere. And flight attendants have gotten pretty rude.

[Host 3]

Oh, I think that. I think the way Southwest does their flights is so weird and scary. I would never just freeboard a plane without a seat. It's so weird.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Well, you don't anymore.

[Host 3]

Yeah, but that's because it's weird, and they know that. That was stupid and dumb.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Why didn't you like it?

[Host 3]

Because, like, what do you want to board a plane and, like, you have to choose a seat anytime you get on a bus and you're like, sure, can I sit with you? Like, it's just, like, weird. I don't like. I don't want to do that. All right, quick time out. Today's show is brought to you by our presenting sponsor, Hard Rock Bet Florida Sportsbook.

Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, New Jersey, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia. Yeah. The World Baseball Classic starts this week. And this is brought to us by hard rock bet. I want to say the last one was three. 20, 20, 20, 23, 20, 26. Three years ago, I watched when Ohtani pitched to Mike Trout, and they were teammates at the time, before he signed with the Dodgers, before Ohtani did. Which is just like an all time. Like if you're a baseball fan, you couldn't like write that up any better, even though Mike Trout, to me, a very underwhelming famous baseball player. But that being said, can I ask

[WNBA Player/Guest]

you something real quick? Because, like, I feel like baseball just has so many games and I get confused. Is this is like the Olympics for baseball? Pretty much.

[Host 3]

I mean, damn. Paraphrase. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's dope though. Like, it's fun because also those, like all the Central American countries are so good and they like get so into it. It's played in Miami. I think they're. Is there any in Japan? I think they're starting in Japan.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Wait, what do you mean starting Japan? Like there's games there in Miami or they're moving it to Japan?

[Host 3]

All Japan.

[Captain Morgan Segment Host]

They have like four locations.

[Host 3]

Yeah. Yeah.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Wow.

[Host 3]

But like them playing in Miami when it's like, like Dominican Republic.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

So fun.

[Host 3]

Venezuela, all those team, like.

[Host 1]

Yep.

[Host 3]

So dope.

[Captain Morgan Segment Host]

Okay, it's got Tokyo, San Juan, Puerto Rico, Houston, Miami.

[Host 3]

Yeah. Wow, that's like so perfect for that. Yeah, but yeah, like Korea, Japan, big baseball countries. When I, we went to Korea last year and I was like, we were a week early before their baseball season started.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Dude, you should have.

[Host 3]

Their baseball in Korea is like sec. Football in the South. Yes.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

What are the stadiums look like?

[Host 3]

They're the same big and they're fun and they're like so into it. So dope. So dope, dude.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

That's cool.

[Host 3]

Yeah. So like, obviously Japan now.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah.

[Host 3]

They have Ohtani and that what was his Yoma. Someone help me. The pitcher, Yamamoto, he killed it. It's. It's dope. Like, I, I. Once you get to like the quarterfinal of this, I'll be, I'll be like super dialed. But obviously, you know.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Wait, so how does.

[Host 3]

Yeah, we're good. We won two world classes ago. That's when like Eric Hosmer played.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Host 3]

All those guys.

[Captain Morgan Segment Host]

This dude Adam Jones hit that year robbed a sick home run.

[Host 3]

Yeah.

[Captain Morgan Segment Host]

Hold it out the crowd.

[Host 3]

I remember that. That was. Remember watching this in San Diego? He made the catch on the wall and then He. He landed and he. And he USA himself.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yes, I remember that.

[Host 3]

Sick. Yeah, dude.

[Captain Morgan Segment Host]

USA athletes be stepping up in the moment. Steph Curry with the night. Night. You got Adam Jones over here. No pressure, usa. But we're watching you guys. They're the favorites right now. Minus 115. Japan is six second at plus 325. So if you guys want to predict

[Host 3]

the winner, I'll give it to usa. I mean, we just want, you know, keep the hockey momentum.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Do we pretty much get all of our Golden Gloves and just stack our team?

[Host 3]

I mean, it's.

[Daniel Cormier]

But.

[Host 3]

But the one thing is, you would be surprised how like, many dudes in the MLB are like, are playing for other. Other other countries.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah. Yeah. I'm not surprised by that.

[Captain Morgan Segment Host]

Pretty competitive, I would say.

[Host 3]

Yeah, it's like a really fun tournament.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Yeah. Good. Well, now I'm kind of invested.

[Host 3]

Yeah. I didn't even know the championship in Miami is like, when is it?

[WNBA Player/Guest]

When.

[Host 1]

When is it?

[Host 3]

Right before MLB starts. So it's like, it's quick. I slide, dude. No, I would slide heavy.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

That's a event that we would love to go to.

[Host 3]

Bobby Jr. Followed me in December. Fun, fun. Shout out for me in the. On the pod.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Who do. Who's our coaches? Who's USA coaches?

[Host 3]

It's also weird because you're like. But being a manager for that is weird because it's. Do you. Do you try to keep a lineup steady or do you mix it up so other dudes can play? Cause they're all good.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

I know, but that's what makes it. That's why I want to know who's kind of our coaches.

[Captain Morgan Segment Host]

Mark derosa is the manager. It's his second year doing it.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Okay.

[Captain Morgan Segment Host]

Not the highest profile name, but other key coaches on the staff. Andy Pettit, former Yankee, Skip Schumacher. Matt Holliday, former cardinal, St. Louis.

[Host 3]

Yeah.

[Captain Morgan Segment Host]

David Ross, former Chicago Cub. So, I mean, we got the heavy hitters, so, yeah, we gotta bring it home.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Are all GMs the skip?

[Host 3]

Yeah.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

So listen to this. I went to a spring training game because it's all out in Scottsdale right now and it's beautiful weather to be doing it.

[Host 3]

Yep.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

And I thought I met the GM for the Cubs. Awesome. Dude. I thought his name was Skip.

[Host 3]

Well, if you call him Skippy, doesn't know.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

I was like, what up, Skipper? No, I was like.

[Host 3]

I was like, skippy.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

And they're like, you know that's not his name. And I was like, nope. I was like, learn something new every day.

[Host 3]

But yeah, let's. Let's go get this and then roll.

[WNBA Player/Guest]

Honestly, what's a great KD episode? Uhhuh. You okay?

[Host 3]

Oh, KD. I thought. I thought you were saying KD. I was like, who's KD?

[WNBA Player/Guest]

There you go.

[Host 3]

There it is. 35.
