Sophie
This is an I heart podcast. She had an extra movement after the ball and just elbowed and nailed Lexi right in the fucking face. Like, too much. Way too much. And Lexi, like, it was bad. And that should have been upgraded because I know if that was anyone on our team, if it was me, probably because I talked shit on here and then my reputation, they would have probably thrown me out.
- [00:32]
Caller/Listener
Foreign.
- [00:42]
Sophie
Good morning, West. How are you?
- [00:44]
West
I'm good. I think we should start this podcast episode by asking, Sophie, did you use the restroom since we last talked?
- [00:53]
Sophie
Honestly, do I have a hell of a bowel movement story for you. I'm sad, so yes. And I think that I've lost about £20, so cheers.
- [01:05]
West
Oh, so then the laxatives are working.
- [01:10]
Sophie
Dude, listen to this. So I. It had been almost like a good week, and I, like, I took. So it says on the box, to take two laxatives. And I did, and within like, an hour and a half, nothing was happening. So I'm like, all right, maybe I'm just like, that backed up. And so I took three more. So I think I might have, like, overdosed a little bit. Dude, I was ready to. To be done. Oh, my gosh. I am not kidding. I had no. But listen, it was supposed to work within, like, an hour to, like, two hours. I did not go until, like, the next day. And then after that, I was, like, on the toilet the entire time. I had to cancel meetings. My agents were calling. I had big sponsorance and endorsementship meetings. I had to cancel everything because I was literally on the toilet for the next day.
- [02:02]
West
I can only.
- [02:03]
Sophie
It was actually awesome.
- [02:04]
West
I can only imagine how special that the whole day was for you. Sounds beautiful.
- [02:10]
Sophie
I did so. I don't think I'll ever do laxatives again because I always, like. It always sounds good, but, you know, when you get those cramps.
- [02:18]
West
Yeah.
- [02:19]
Sophie
God, dude, the hot sweats.
- [02:21]
West
Yeah. But I. I do think when you do take painkillers, especially post surgery, it's, like, known that you have to take laxatives to, like, counter the painkillers. So you didn't do anything wrong. Maybe you just took a lot, but I bet it was worth it.
- [02:39]
Sophie
Oh, I will never do that again. Don't overdose on laxatives.
- [02:44]
West
Wow. That's a fun Labor Day weekend, though, for you while you were on your pain meds. Is that when you posted the picture of your ass on Instagram?
- [02:55]
Sophie
How did you know?
- [02:58]
West
I don't know.
- [02:58]
Sophie
I mean, I'm joking.
- [03:00]
West
What? I think that's what I commented I said, put down the painkiller. So we.
- [03:06]
Sophie
I think you did. Because that since surgery, like last episode, I don't really. I don't remember what we talked about. Like, I don't. I don't remember much at all.
- [03:15]
West
4,724 comments on that picture. Not bad.
- [03:21]
Sophie
Yeah, that was a mistake.
- [03:23]
West
It was sent around. It was DMed 32,000 times. I should also say how much I love Caitlyn's comments on all of your risque Instagram.
- [03:40]
Sophie
Such a hater.
- [03:43]
West
But she does it so tastefully. Like, it's so funny.
- [03:46]
Sophie
She said, no, she's not.
- [03:48]
West
What? She said, geez, Sophie. And then she said, like, nope, can't like this.
- [03:54]
Sophie
I often. If she wanted to buy a truck, I could get her a great deal. A great discount.
- [03:59]
West
What is this?
- [03:59]
Sophie
Chevy gmc.
- [04:03]
West
Gmc. I think that I drove a GMC at Rockbridge. Do you remember? It was red.
- [04:09]
Sophie
Yeah. Yes, I do remember that.
- [04:11]
West
Yeah. I haven't had a car in six years, but here we are. How was your weekend other than.
- [04:18]
Sophie
Well, I think I kind of just told you my weekend. It was eventual. Is on the toilet. I feel like I was peeing out of my ass. So that was fun.
- [04:26]
West
Love.
- [04:26]
Sophie
And I posted a Bruce Trap out of that same ass.
- [04:35]
West
That's horrible.
- [04:37]
Sophie
That's really bad.
- [04:39]
West
My weekend. Great. They all say that Labor Day is the end of summer. I don't know if that's true or not, but yeah, I was in the Hamptons, saw some friends.
- [04:49]
Sophie
Well, I saw you on a TikTok. You guys are filming for something. There's a huge thing. And you were like carrying a spike ball and then trying to take off your burks.
- [04:58]
West
Oh, yeah, that was on the beach. Whenever we go to the beach, people film us. Yeah. And I. I had on socks. I guess we could talk about that. Head on socks under my Birkenstocks. Birkenstocks are like kind of rough and they like really rub my feet, like in the worst way. And I get blisters if I don't wear socks. So I had on socks on the whole day. Hopped right into a pair of. Hopped right into a pair of clogs. And then. Yeah, was on the beach. Took my socks off and then walked normally. And there were a bunch of people, like, annoyed I wore socks at the beach. But like, whatever. It's not like I wore them in the sand.
- [05:36]
Sophie
Yeah, but it was just funny. It was like the most quest thing ever. I got so many people commenting like, Sophie, get your man. Like, oh, that's just him being him.
- [05:44]
West
Fuck off, everyone. It's also chilly. I had a sweater on over my T shirt. Like it was a nice, cool, brisk September day.
- [05:55]
Sophie
Wait, but didn't you. I saw that you guys went to the launch of Soft Bar.
- [06:00]
West
Yeah. So that's been in the works for a long, for a long time. It's a beautiful, beautiful space.
- [06:07]
Sophie
Wait, tell people what Sahar is if they're not familiar with it.
- [06:11]
West
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay, good. Okay. So on my show, there's a guy named Carl Radke who has been sober for, I don't know for a fact, I think it's four or five years. But he's, he's like very passionate, very articulate, like, about his sober journey and trying to like, share his story with other people. And so he is opening a bar in Brooklyn called Sauce Bar, where it's. I want to. I want to make sure I get all the verbiage correct because he's been very intentional about it. But it's like drinks with benefits and non alcoholic premium beverages and premium coffee. So it's like a space where people who aren't drinking, whether that's sober for life or are just like, you know, like, there are so many times, especially living in New York, where I'm like, holy, like a friend's in town, whatever, and I want to like, go out, but I like really don't want to drink that night. And you like, can go there and have coffee. Like, they had espresso martinis, they had fruity stuff.
- [07:16]
Sophie
Benefits. Is that like the. There's like vitamins and like, stuff that's beneficial to your body or is it just like the kind of fun, like drinks with benefits?
- [07:23]
West
Well, there are, there's like mushroom coffees and stuff like that, but then there's also like.
- [07:28]
Sophie
So it's not like mushrooms burning people into druggies?
- [07:33]
West
No, it's not even like, it's not like mushrooms that get you like, up. It's like mushrooms that like, have like health benefits and like zen you out or whatever. And also people use mushrooms now a lot for like, a lot of things. Like it's mushroom powder, but then there's ones with like electrolytes, there's ones with caffeine, there's one magnesium, and they're all like, good for you, essentially. But they're beautiful. They have like a ton of bartenders who are like, very invested in what they're doing. And so we went to like a friends and family event and got to like, see it in real time.
- [08:05]
Sophie
The Building looked beautiful. I'm not just saying this. And for people who haven't watched the show, which I know a lot of people are starting to now. So Carl used to date Lindsay and they were engaged and they were like, he was discussing this with Lindsay while they were engaged and like she kind of shot it down and I get her perspective too, but I also get his. And so for him to like actually now do it and it like be where it's at, I think it's not cool.
- [08:33]
West
The original concept was a sober sports bar and Lindsay shot that down and I, yeah, I think that was good for him to kind of like pivot and figure out like what this was going to be. Because I do think sports bar with no alcohol is, would be a bit challenging.
- [08:51]
Sophie
Yeah.
- [08:52]
West
But I.
- [08:53]
Sophie
This is like, was good, but like he made it better.
- [08:59]
West
This is like more upscale and it's nice inside and it's like really pretty. And they have like an event space in the back where people can like have meetings and present and talk and like they have a pop up bar in the back like where people who are introducing like now there's so many like drinks that have like THC in them and like all these like just interesting, weird pivots on like drinking alternatives. And so people can go like, try to, you know, test out their products in his bar. So like it'll be, it'll be fun. But we went to that and showed some love.
- [09:34]
Sophie
No, it looked, it looked beautiful. And I was really excited for it to talk about it because I think next time we should go there when I'm in New York. But I think it's really smart that he actually put an event space because you can make more commission back there so you're not just relying so heavily on the drinks. You know what I mean? So like he's, he's getting it from both sides. That sounds awesome.
- [09:52]
West
Carl is also probably the biggest like sports fan on our show, aside from me. And so he. Well, yeah, when we launched this, he was like stoked because he obviously knows who you are.
- [10:05]
Sophie
Wait, can we get Carl on the show?
- [10:07]
West
Yeah, Carl would do this in two seconds. He would be, he would be thrilled. He's from Pittsburgh. He's like, he's got like Midwest sports in his blood, you know.
- [10:17]
Sophie
Oh, dude, that just like hyped me up.
- [10:20]
West
How are you feeling?
- [10:21]
Sophie
So I'm good, but I just have a lot to get off now that I'm in a right mind. Cake falls back. I've been dying to ask we how you Hurt yourself. Did you guys win?
- [10:37]
West
No. So we just got like, let in. So it's like season starts in two weeks. But we, like, our team got into the. The league that I was like, really nervous we weren't going to get in. It sells out fucking so fast. And I, like, was not paying attention and, like, missed it. But the way they do it is they used to have people could join by themselves and just be like free agents and sent to other teams. And now they like, it's only teams. So there's like a lot of. There's no space for. If you don't fill your team up. So then if teams don't fill their offer, you have to, I'm sure, have more than like 15, but we have like 25. It's fun. But I was so nervous that they weren't gonna let us in. And I was like, I don't know how to, like, tell you guys that this means everything to me. And I don't get to like, I'm not. I. I like, have to be in a sports league in the fall or I will die. And it finally happened. God bless Thursday nights in Chelsea. But I think we're gonna have to start doing. It's gonna be a weekly segment is you're gonna have to say, what was the score? And I'm gonna give you a dude. I'm actually curious.
- [11:53]
Sophie
How does every. If you have 25 people, how does everybody play?
- [11:57]
West
Not everyone's playing in the field at once, but, like, you go through your.
- [12:00]
Sophie
Whole, like, lineup, 25 people out there, but it's.
- [12:07]
West
It is coed, so it's like you can't have dudes kick more than three times in a row. So girls have to be like, in the batting lineup, like, so frequently. And you have to have at least five girls in the outfield at all times.
- [12:22]
Sophie
Wait, can I say something mean?
- [12:24]
West
Yeah.
- [12:26]
Sophie
It's like, not mean because I know I should be more about, like, women's sports. But, like, these girls on your team, do they actually know how to kick ball? Or is it like, oh, God, she's up?
- [12:35]
West
No. That's why kickball is the best co ed sport is because you can, like, everyone can kick a ball. And baseball. Kickball is so random, like, where the ball falls. Like, a lot of the girls who are just like, I'm here for the T shirt, like, they still kick singles all the time. Really? Yeah, I pop out more than some of the girls do. It's. It's like hit or miss. And it's also big round Fucking red ball. So, like, the most hype moments in kickball are when one of the girls who's, like, not paying attention catches a pop fly. And all the dudes are like, let's go. Like, just so hyped for her, you know? And it's beautiful, and it's truly beautiful.
- [13:15]
Sophie
Well, I just love. I just remember last year, you would be playing and you guys would all be wearing, like, your. I think it was, like, a blue. Was it a blue shirt?
- [13:22]
West
I've been. I've been blue, orange, yellow, and pink in order.
- [13:28]
Sophie
Yeah. I can't remember. But you guys would always go. And then you guys would all go drink after. Like, be at a, like, dive bar. Like, burgers and what?
- [13:36]
West
So here's the thing. Every game on the schedule is worth two points. So you would either be one, you would either be two and O, or, oh, and two after the game, then you go to the bar and you do best of seven flip cup against the team that you just played. And then that's one more point for the night. So flip cup is a part of your record. You have to go.
- [13:58]
Sophie
So could you. Could you be two in one?
- [14:00]
West
Yeah. So you could be, like, if you won the kickball game but then lost flip cup, you're two and one for the night. So then that's your record. So then you're. You're like. You're stacking, like, a lot of numbers. But, dude, that's actually dope.
- [14:13]
Sophie
I thought you guys were just going for, like, making a tradition, but the backup, they put that in there, too. Is kind of fun.
- [14:18]
West
Yeah. So then you're, like, playing the team, and, like, you can. It's to either salvage the night or, like, really put a stamp down at the bar. And it's so fun. And that gets, like, more intense sometimes at even kickball because, like, you'll put someone in and they can't fucking land the flip cup. And you're like, dude, get out here. Like, see you later. Like, we need someone good.
- [14:37]
Sophie
We have kind of fun and flirty.
- [14:39]
West
Yeah. Soph, you should come.
- [14:41]
Sophie
Like, oh, great. Well, actually, I was thinking about maybe I could do a guest appearance, but I. Anything even regarding walking or trying to sit on the toilet just kills my knees. So I can't even imagine trying to play fucking kickball.
- [14:54]
West
Do you know what's so crazy? My biggest memory, like, bad memory from when my leg was broken post surgery was trying to sit on the fucking toilet, and I couldn't get up and I couldn't bear weight on my Left side. And I. It made me want to cry every single time. So just so I'm thinking about you.
- [15:11]
Sophie
Thank you. But I will make an appearance to flip cups.
- [15:16]
West
I guess I just realized you probably won't be good until. When's your time? When's your timeline for return?
- [15:23]
Sophie
They say like four months. Yeah, they say like four months. I'd say like January, February, but I feel like I. Not trying to say anything, but I think I heal quicker and recover quite fast. And so maybe a tab before, but.
- [15:39]
West
Oh, my God, let's knock on wood for that one.
- [15:43]
Sophie
Probably smart. I don't have wood around me, so.
- [15:46]
West
Cece, new logo. Fucking sick. You like it? Are you excited?
- [15:51]
Sophie
I'm so proud of her. And honestly, I'm really proud of all women in our league that have a logo because they truly are all badasses and they deserve it. And so I do think Caitlyn was next. And yeah, like, it's, it's so simple, but it's still abstract and confusing enough that it fits her perfectly. And so I, I'm excited. Like, it's. It's awesome. She deserves it. I want, I want one of her little diamond necklaces. I don't want the T shirt. I want the diamond necklace she had.
- [16:20]
West
So maybe she's selling jewelry.
- [16:23]
Sophie
No, but she's just, you know, sporting all of her, like little bougie diamonds and shit. So I might have to steal that from her locker when she's doing rehab.
- [16:31]
West
But is it, is it the logo? Like in diamond form? Yeah, that's tight. That's super.
- [16:37]
Sophie
Like, she, she walked in which, like, when people get logos like brands and everyone, they go all out. So, like, she came in with like, pants that had her logo. I think there was a sweatshirt that her boyfriend Connor was wearing. Then she had like a diamond necklace that had it. So they, they swagged her out. But I'm, I'm pumped for it. She deserves it.
- [16:58]
West
What to you is a, is like a beautiful, perfect basketball shoe. Like, do you ever wear low tops?
- [17:03]
Sophie
I feel like no, I always wear low tops.
- [17:06]
West
You do wear low tops?
- [17:07]
Sophie
Yeah. So I don't know how people hoop.
- [17:10]
West
With low tops on. Why to me do you tape then?
- [17:16]
Sophie
Well, after I fucking broke my ankle, yeah. But no, I, I hadn't taped for four years.
- [17:22]
West
That's absolutely mind boggling to me.
- [17:25]
Sophie
Why?
- [17:26]
West
What about like that? There's no, you have no ankle support if you wear low tops and don't. Don't tape.
- [17:33]
Sophie
Well, I, I have strong ankles. Like, I feel good.
- [17:37]
West
I Guess. Yeah, I will.
- [17:39]
Sophie
If you know, or if you have two good shoulders. Are you gonna wear a shoulder brace?
- [17:45]
West
No, but it's sleep. Like, it doesn't impact. Like, it doesn't get in the way. I feel like. But anyways, because, like, I'm trying to think of signature low tops. Like, I think Kobe's or Lowe's, but everyone else.
- [17:57]
Sophie
So really, pretty much everyone has, like, a lot of people have, like, top, mid and lows, so they kind of can get hit all markets. Like, it's a good strategy. Some people I know harden, harden. Kind of stays with the mid because that's like, that's the only thing he wears and whatnot. But I. I like basketball shoes that are like tennis shoes. So it's not like it's like I'm running around in the backyard. You know what I mean? Like, I don't want something that's chunky. I want something light and something that's like, I'm just on a walk or on a run.
- [18:28]
West
Who's your brand?
- [18:29]
Sophie
Oh, I'm Adidas. Three stripes, baby. I'll give you some Adidas. You need to start rocking it. They're great, great people, too.
- [18:36]
West
When did they sign you?
- [18:38]
Sophie
I think, like, four years ago, but I just resigned an extension. But I'm trying to kind of hope that maybe we can switch that contract up, because I think they. They got me for a steal after I beat somebody up.
- [18:54]
West
What goes into signing with a shoe brand as a basketball player? Like, is it best offer? Is it. Do you try to stick with who you wore, like, in college? What's that process?
- [19:07]
Sophie
Honestly, it. I think for me, it's best offer. But I wore Nikes all growing up, and I remember I had a couple Adidas, but I loved Adidas. But, like, just our high school, we'd get free Adidas from, like, the. Because you get, like, a team. Whatever, team shoe. And then in college, Rockbridge was Adidas.
- [19:26]
West
That's right.
- [19:28]
Sophie
Yeah. And then Mizzou was Nike. And so I just kind of got stuck wearing Nikes. But then I switched, and, like, the thing that I love about Adidas, honestly, their basketball shoes are amazing. And I'm not just saying that. They have a lot of good athletes who have great signature shoes and whatnot, but their street wear is so fucking swaggy. Like, our style. Top notch. Like, top notch for sure.
- [19:51]
West
If you are signed with Adidas, can you, like, be seen in public in a Nike shoe, or do you, like, have to have Adidas on at all times and have to be Conscious of what you're wearing?
- [20:03]
Sophie
Well, I don't have to be conscious because I actually prefer Adidas now that I. I'm wearing it and I'm an athlete. Like, I'm not kidding. Their stuff is just way more comfy. Their shoes are swaggy. Like, I'm not. I actually want to wear it. I don't know. I'm just saying that for real, Like, I think everyone knows me. I'd be honest about it, but there is one time that I was. It was winter and I was self tanning because I had an event and I just threw on this like huge baggy T shirt. I think it was like one of my ex boyfriend shirts and it was Nike and I posted something on Instagram and I got in huge trouble.
- [20:37]
West
Yeah.
- [20:38]
Sophie
Yeah, Huge trouble. And I was like, oh my God. I was like, I am. I'm so sorry. I was like, I was trying to find a dirty T shirt. So I didn't like ruin one, but it's fine. But yeah, yeah, you'll get in trouble for all that.
- [20:50]
West
That makes sense.
- [20:50]
Sophie
As you should. If they're paying you and giving you free product, you should get in trouble.
- [20:55]
West
Yeah, I agree. But I always think when it's clothing wise, like, you're not necessarily like going outside to like post, but if you were like, if you were seen in something like, that would be crazy. But I do want to bring up one thing. This podcast has made quite a splash in the WNBA world. Whether that's you being fined or just people like locking in. And Skip Bayless, the biggest shit talker dumb idiot in media. I watched the tape. It felt a little clickbaity headline wise, because he didn't actually come at you that much. But the headline said, what is something clout chaser fucking.
- [21:36]
Sophie
I don't know, dude. Skip, who's the clout chaser? You're literally using my name as your headline so people can click on it. And like, my thing is I don't mind the guy. Like, I don't mind the guy. Like, I have no beef with you. I've never met you. I've actually really never listened to you. Like, I don't like, I just some kind of in my lane and someone sent it to me and I was like, what is this? He's calling me a clout chaser. Dude, you're the one who has my name plastered all over your freaking YouTube that had 36 views. Like, get out of here.
- [22:08]
West
Pretty awesome. But that's kind of all he's done his whole career so it's just funny.
- [22:18]
Sophie
I listened to it and, like, he was. I think he was being complimentary in some areas, which, like, I guess, thank you. But, like, for people who know me and people who've actually been paying attention to basketball before Caitlyn got here or when she did get here, they start paying attention to everyone. I've always been this way. Like, I've always been, like, in college, I was that way. Like, don't, like, don't mess with my teammates. Don't mess with me. Don't mess with my teammates. I'm feisty, I'm sassy, I'm goofy. Like, I'm probably the most unserious person that you'll ever meet. And people who don't know me probably think that, like, I'm a big bitch, which I could probably understand that. But, like, him. Him coming at me, and I'm like, dude, you. You. You just sound so typical. So just get off my screen. I stopped watching it.
- [23:07]
West
Now that you do play with. I guess you've played with superstars in Phoenix too, but, like, Caitlyn is, like, one of one, I guess. But, like, do have people tried to use your proximity to joining a superstar to, like, diminish your. Not legacy, but, like, your ability to play basketball, your ability to be your own brand, your ability to be your own person?
- [23:33]
Sophie
Yeah, I think. I think it's funny that people always. First of all, I. I just have a lot to say about this, so just give me. Give me my. My soapbox for like, two minutes.
- [23:44]
West
Yeah, Yeah. I. I want you to. I want you to go.
- [23:47]
Sophie
Here's my thing. People are like. Like Skip and others. Like, oh, she's just tagging along. No, I actually like Caitlin, and I'm just being real and truthful that she has. She has brought millions. Millions. I wouldn't be surprised if it's billions of eyes onto the W and onto women's sports. Like, she is a Kobe Bryant. And that's how. That's how Diana was. That's how Sewers was. Like, that's. We've had these types of people, but this is just bigger because the media platform is bigger than it ever has been. And so I'm just. I don't know if I'm only the only ones who are. I don't have an ego, so I'm able to just tell the truth. Like, if it was someone else, I'd be like, yeah, like Angel Reese. She's also brought millions of fans. You know what I mean? I think Caitlyn has Brought way more. But I also think she has, too. Like, I'm just not naive, and I might be blonde, but I'm not fucking dumb. So people who say I'm cloud chaser. No, I'm just being honest about why the league is where it is at. Like, give the. Give the girls the flowers. Like, give it to them. They deserve it. Whatever. And then when people, like, come at me and like, oh, she averages eight points a game, and I'm like, yeah, and how many pro sports minutes have you played? Like, and what do you do? You're sitting on your couch just talking shit on me. All right, well, you bringing attention to me. You're making me more money, so keep talking your shit. But my thing is also, like, if you really do your research, Like, I don't know. I've been shooting the. Out of the ball. Like, I've been.
- [25:20]
West
I've been playing basketball.
- [25:21]
Sophie
It's not all about scoring. Like, I. I've literally been the glue to our team. Like, I'm our energy. I'm our. Like, I know what I bring to the table. So you trying to come at me? You will never get to me, because first of all, I don't care enough. And second of all, who are you? Like, I just get two shits, and I think that's my biggest. My best attribute is I don't give a shit. And sometimes that's why I get fined, because I don't give a shit. So for people who come at me about stuff, good for you. Like, I hope you got your rocks off.
- [25:50]
West
It is interesting how the. In sports in general, just the closer you are to someone who's already established, people use that to, like, diminish your game. And it is. It'll. It'll be this way forever.
- [26:04]
Sophie
You know, towards the end of the season, I was, like, averaging, like, 15. I was. I had one of the best percentages of the W. I think I was leading the. The W and percentages at 3 points. So, like, I know what I bring to the table, and it's not like I'm out here like, well, I'm better than Caitlin, and I'm better than Nafisa, and I'm better than. Like, I'm not comparing my.
- [26:20]
West
I hate y'.
- [26:20]
Sophie
All. Those are freaking superstars. Like, I know my lane. I stay in my lane. But I also talk my shit, too, and I'll back up people that I love. And for me, backing up Caitlyn or people talking shit, trying to diminish me, like, I don't care. Like, you're still making me money because you're talking about me, so thank you.
- [26:38]
West
Fuck, yeah. So speaking of people getting roughed up on your team, our sweet girl Lexi with the double black eyes. Sick picture, though, that she'll get to keep forever and show her, you know, her grandkids and be like, I was eating elbows in the WNBA for a long time, but I don't know. I know we. We gotta tread lightly with ref talk, but, like, just run me through what you saw and tell us how toug Lexi is first off.
- [27:12]
Sophie
Well, I don't think I have to. To numb it down. I think if I say the word ref on this podcast, I'm gonna get fine, so I might as well go balls to the wall. First of all, have you seen, like, the pictures, though, of Lexi?
- [27:25]
West
Yeah, dude.
- [27:27]
Sophie
Brutal.
- [27:29]
West
It's crazy.
- [27:30]
Sophie
She's so pretty that if anyone's gonna look like that, let it be Lexi, because she can still somehow make it look pretty in a way.
- [27:37]
West
It's a dark mascara.
- [27:39]
Sophie
Yeah. Yeah, something. So what kind of really pissed me off about last week are three things. And again, I was high on meds, but it still triggered my hate for the refs. So they were playing Minnesota, which. Minnesota is a great, great team. But I think that what is kind of getting out of hand is the refs are making. Allowing it to be too physical, and then people can get away with certain stuff, and then that's when emotions flare, and that's when you kind of see fights or people doing things that they probably shouldn't be doing. And so there's a jump ball, and we can play the clip. There's a jump ball, and they called it, or they called a foul, whatever. And then after the play, McBride, who is a hell of a shooter, she's been shooting the shit out of it. She's a great, great player. So I'm not going after in any way, but she had an extra movement after the ball and just elbowed and nailed Lexi right in the fucking face. Like, too much. Way too much. And Lexi, like, it was bad. And that should have been upgraded, because I know if that was anyone on our team, if it was me, probably because I talked shit on here, and then my reputation, they would have probably thrown me out. And so that's not okay. So that happened to Lex. She got nailed. Like, probably was concussed. I have no idea. I felt so bad for the girl. She's probably one of the toughest players you will ever meet, and I think that's why I love her. So much because she just plays hard and she's fucking tough and she's a great teammate, great person.
- [29:07]
West
Yeah.
- [29:08]
Sophie
And then the next game we played Seattle, who's also a great team. They're kind of struggling. We beat them by like 20.
- [29:16]
West
So, yeah, you guys have been big margins of victory the last few days.
- [29:21]
Sophie
And then her and Gabby, which Gabby's awesome. She's like one of my good friends. She did not mean to, but her and Lexi on accident nailed each other. And then that's where Lex immediately had like a huge nod. That's what gave her the black eyes. She looked like an avatar. She sent me a picture and I like FaceTimed her immediately. And I was like, dude, are you okay? I was like, there's no way you're not concussed. And I like texted Caitlyn immediately during the game. I was like, how can custice Lex? And Lexi's like, actually, it kind of woke me up. Like, I, I think my adrenaline hit and like, I feel better than I have like the past couple of weeks. Like, I'm not concussed, I feel good. And I was like, there's no way. And so she's good, but she looks brutal. But I did not like that against McBride. And then the Gabby accident was just an accident, so that's fine.
- [30:05]
West
I feel like if there was anyone who would endorse the refs, letting girls play, letting the game flow, like, let it be physical. As long as you're calling it fair, I think that that would be you.
- [30:19]
Sophie
I agree, like, I am for physicality, but like, you got to. There's a certain. We are elite level athletes and it is physical and you get frustrated. You get tired of people hitting you that, yeah, it's going to get out of hand. And that's where I think everyone is just like, like jump balls, call it all fast so then you're not like.
- [30:38]
West
Get it over with.
- [30:39]
Sophie
Yeah, yeah, just do it. Like both teams want you to call it. So just call it. You know what I mean? It's just like little things like that. And then Kelsey Mitchell, we went to LA and beat la, which was a huge, huge win for us. When it comes to where we're at in the standings and wins and losses and whatnot. She, Kelsey Mitchell, should be mvp. She is playing the best basketball anyone has played all year. She's been playing the best basketball of her career. She's a phenomenal player. Nobody can stop her. Literally. Wes, when I tell you no one can stop her, it doesn't matter. Who you have on her, any defensive scheme. She's still scoring 30 on your head. Like, it's insane.
- [31:15]
West
Oh, love playing with her.
- [31:18]
Sophie
But she had the ball at the top of the key, and right in front of her ref, Kelsey Plum literally grabbed her arm and, like, kind of flung her around, and Kelsey, like, spun. Like, how are you not calling that you're protecting all the other stars in the league? Why would you not protect Kelsey like that? It's just, like, stuff like that that just really grinds my gears. And then.
- [31:39]
West
That's your fine right there, Sophie.
- [31:41]
Sophie
Wait, what did I say?
- [31:43]
West
You just said you're protecting all the other stars. How are you not protecting Kels?
- [31:50]
Sophie
I didn't. I didn't even think that was bad, but it's not. But I'm just sensitive. People are scentsy. So enough about the W. I think that I've said enough. I got my. My rocks off because I'm trying to protect. Trying to protect my girls because it's just been ridiculous. So, yeah, time for Westworld. Dude, are you so hyped for the NFL Sports Week? Like, give me everything.
- [32:20]
West
This is, like, why I was put on this earth is to wake up in the morning, go get maybe a little iced coffee and turn a corner in New York City and then have a fall breeze hit me right in the face and be like, oh, I'm gonna need to put a hoodie on and. And then drink beers and watch football this weekend. Like, the. I just fucking love the fall, Sophie. It is so fun, and I. It just makes me so happy. And she. Yeah, Chiefs, Montana State. I've been paying more attention to Mizzou, honestly, in the last few years, but, um, there's just something about a fall breeze and. And football. Like, I'll also say this New York City in the fall, like, the city is, like, there's a lot of transplants, right? So everyone's from everywhere. A Sunday in Manhattan is just a bunch of groups of friends in different bars, and everyone's got their stuff on from where they're from. Like, Chiefs, for me. Like, there's Vikings people over here. There's, like. It just is so cozy, and there's so much good energy. I could talk about this for a whole podcast episode, but it is just so fun.
- [33:37]
Sophie
This is the most, like, exciting and, like. Like, awake and hype I've seen you since we started this podcast. I think it's because the NFL is here and follows you.
- [33:46]
West
And it also helps that, like, yeah, the NFL is quite fun. Being a Chiefs fan the last few years there's a lot of other teams we, you know, could have to be born in that state, but we weren't. We were lucky. But yeah, Chiefs play the Chargers on Friday. They're playing in Brazil, which the NFL now is like going international. Like super hardcore. Balls to the wall. I think it's eight different countries this year.
- [34:19]
Sophie
Wow.
- [34:22]
West
And a lot of people, I'll also just say we don't have to get like too into the weeds, but like the media loves and I get it honestly to a point where you like need to say different and like you can't just beat a dead horse and say the same stuff. And like, oh, we love the Chiefs, but like people have picked the Chargers and the Broncos to win AFC West. I think the Chiefs will make the playoffs. But they've been saying this for the last seven years and at this point I kind of just like stay quiet and wait until the middle of the season when the Chiefs have like a. Yeah. And then they have like a two game lead in the AFC west and people just have to realize that they're wrong again.
- [35:01]
Sophie
I get that, that people get tired of the Chiefs and people whatever. But like in history, when you look back in 25, 50 years, like why would we not embrace this time that we are watching a freaking dynasty? Like why would we not hype that shit up?
- [35:17]
West
People get bored and people, it gets old and that they're easy to want new stuff and get jealous.
- [35:24]
Sophie
You know, work harder, get better athletes, pay them more. But it's not boring if you're a Chiefs fan.
- [35:33]
West
I will say though that part of the reason why the Chiefs being good or why NFL dynasties are so much harder to come by is that the NFL does have a salary cap and so you can't, unlike baseball, like everyone's paying their team cumulatively the same thing. So the structure and the way that These owners and GMs have to build a team and somehow keep them, keep success going is really, really impressive. And yeah, Micah Parsons just got traded to the packers and he.
- [36:09]
Sophie
I know, I saw that. I just got to bring that up.
- [36:12]
West
He's making more than Patrick Mahomes like on an, on a year to year salary salary. Mahomes contract obviously is like super deep and he signed it for like 10 years or whatever. But like Mahomes knows he makes money in endorsements. He knows that he's getting, he wants, he's going to be remembered by Super Bowls and team success. So he takes less money and like tell other people QBs that take less money. The Dak Prescott makes so much money and they're fucking horrible.
- [36:42]
Sophie
Well, I just want to say that I think. I think people are so worried about that number that they sign. And to an extent, you should be, in a way. But if everyone is taking less and you're able to stack a team and you win and you continue to win, the. All of that is going to come back through endorsements and other things times 20. So it's just like, let your ego go. Who cares what your salary says? Good. Stack your fucking team. Go win a championship. And now everyone's thriving. It just makes sense to me to take less so you can stack your teeth.
- [37:15]
West
I think it's easier said than done, for sure. Especially when you have an agent in your ear who also makes money off of what your contract is. And as professional athletes, your window for making a lot of money is obviously shorter than if you were like an orthopedic surgeon or whatever. Like you. You have like 10 years if, if that. So I get it. And I'll never be a hater for someone like, taking like, getting their bag when they need to, but there are instances where like Tyreek Hill left the Chiefs for like a little more money and like, he was. He was already established. The Chiefs would have paid him well. And if I'm him and my QB is Patrick Mahomes and I'm playing next to Travis Kelsey and my head coach is Andy Reid. Yeah. I would hope that I could recognize in that moment that, like, it's probably better for me to stay in Kansas City than go to Miami where so many. There's so many question marks and make a little more money. There's also no income tax there, which is kind of cool, but you know, for sure.
- [38:25]
Sophie
And I get that. And I will never hate on someone going to. To get their bag, like you said. But I also think winning help everybody and winning helps your bank account and winning helps everything. So you also have to. Money is the root of all evil too, so. Oh, speaking. Is he still. Is Tyree Kill still on Miami?
- [38:45]
West
Yeah. Yeah.
- [38:47]
Sophie
Because I'm actually going to the Colts in Dolphins game on Sunday.
- [38:50]
West
Oh, did I. Did I inspire you to go show the love? Yeah.
- [38:55]
Sophie
And like, I couldn't travel with the team and like one of my best friends from a U ball, she's married to Zach Steeler, who is. He's like a really good. He sacks the quarterback. What is that, a D line?
- [39:08]
West
Yeah. Sophie, walk in.
- [39:10]
Sophie
They are an awesome, awesome family.
- [39:13]
West
Love that. Well, anyways, I think That'll be good. They'll probably push you on the jumbotron and go just plant those Indianapolis roots, you know, show them that you care.
- [39:22]
Sophie
And that's good, dude. So what are you. Who are you, like, looking forward to, though? Like, I haven't. I kind of been in my own world, so, like, what do I need to be watching out for? For week one?
- [39:31]
West
Week one. I just. Now, to be so honest, like, this is crazy and super spoiled, but I. The Chiefs just. Whatever they do in the regular season, I don't put all my fucking coins into it because they. They peak in December, and then they turn shit up when the playoffs start. Like, they can do it, and they prove that they can do it.
- [39:56]
Sophie
Yes. Yeah, I agree.
- [39:58]
West
I think with the Chiefs, you always want to see how they drafted and see if there's any rookies that are going to, like, ball out. And I think they're. This is going to be, like, super random for you, but, yeah, they drafted a left tackle who I think is going to be really good from Ohio State and some skill players across the board. And so you kind of just like, see how Andy Reid, like, peels back the layers and test things out, and then we'll sit on stuff until the playoffs. But for me, it's just like. For me, it's just like the camaraderie of football season. People just tailgating, going out, going to bars, going to games, traveling away. Like, it just is. It's lovely.
- [40:40]
Sophie
So, hey, and for our listeners, I think we're gonna go to a couple games and maybe do a couple live shows. I think it's in the works, so that'd be kind of fun. People are dying, dude. People are on Andy's plus Merch. Say what?
- [40:54]
West
And we're gonna do a. We should do an episode from Andy's bus.
- [40:57]
Sophie
Yes, on top of the bus.
- [41:00]
West
The cool bus. I think to kick football off. You're gonna do a little Chiefs trivia.
- [41:06]
Sophie
You and I. I'm gonna be so bad.
- [41:09]
West
I didn't write these questions. These were our boy Kevin.
- [41:16]
Sophie
All these. I'm not gonna know anything.
- [41:18]
West
Kevin told me that they're really hard, so. All right, you ready?
- [41:23]
Sophie
Right.
- [41:26]
West
The Chiefs defeated the 49ers and took home the title in Super Bowl LIV. I think it's 50. That was Super Bowl 50. What color was the Gatorade bath after the win? A purple, B orange, C red, or D, yellow? I've got it between two.
- [41:44]
Sophie
Yeah, it's not purple.
- [41:47]
West
I think it is purple.
- [41:48]
Sophie
I would. Oh, is it?
- [41:50]
West
I'M going A.
- [41:52]
Sophie
Okay, well, I think I'm gonna go D. Yellow.
- [41:59]
West
It's orange. Damn it.
- [42:02]
Caller/Listener
All right.
- [42:03]
West
Oh, no. B. Orange.
- [42:06]
Sophie
All right, well, that's fair. Screw that one up. That's okay. Okay, I got number two.
- [42:12]
West
Yeah.
- [42:13]
Sophie
Patrick Mahomes is the fastest quarterback in NFL history to reach how many passing yards?
- [42:18]
West
My first thought is, you just go the. The first one. Because, like, if he was cruising that fast. But I don't think 10,000. I'm gonna go see 20,000. I don't really know.
- [42:32]
Sophie
I think I'm gonna go B.
- [42:38]
West
20,000. C. All right, that's one. Question three. He won a national championship at Texas in 2005 alongside freshman teammate Vince Young. Who is this former chief all pro running back? A, Priest Holmes. B, Jamal Charles. C, Derek Johnson. D, Larry Johnson.
- [42:55]
Sophie
Well, again, I don't even know how old I was in 2005, but I kind of feel like a Johnson is calling my name, so I'm gonna have to go see Derek Johnson.
- [43:08]
West
A. Johnson is calling your name. Whoa. I can tell you C is gonna be wrong because DE1, Derek Johnson played linebacker, so this won't be him.
- [43:19]
Sophie
I said D, not C. Oh, D. Whatever.
- [43:23]
West
Larry Johnson. He went to pinch.
- [43:25]
Sophie
And C. I said C. I said.
- [43:26]
West
C. I'm gonna go B. Jamal Charles. Even though Priest Holmes also went to Texas. I think Jamal Charles. You know what?
- [43:37]
Caller/Listener
No.
- [43:37]
West
Because Priest Holmes played for the Chiefs in the early 2000. So I'm gonna go, Jamal. I'm gonna go Jamal. And Hope. Yeah. I'm gonna go Jamal Charles. B. Yeah. All right.
- [43:55]
Sophie
Dude. Some people just have these brains, and you have this brain.
- [44:00]
West
Well, I. I'm really good. I'm really good at where people went to college because I care about it.
- [44:07]
Sophie
So I don't even know if I have a brain. Oh, my gosh. You are. You're really good at this.
- [44:13]
West
No. All right.
- [44:15]
Sophie
No, for real. Okay. Number four. In Netflix's Happy Gilmore 2, Travis Kelsey fires bad bunny from his restaurant. After the. After he offers PGA pro golfer Jordan Spice. Is that how you say it?
- [44:27]
West
Spieth?
- [44:29]
Sophie
Speed. Well, I'm gonna say spy. Kind of like I said Giselle. Which item below? A, salad. B, bread. C, champagne. D, lobster.
- [44:40]
West
Okay, So I watched IB Gilmore 2, but I was not locked in at all. So I actually don't know the answer, but I'm going to go A salad.
- [44:54]
Sophie
I'm going to go. This doesn't count. I was on medication when I watched this.
- [45:01]
West
That's even more the reason to pay attention.
- [45:04]
Sophie
I do feel like, it'd be something simple. You go salad, I'll go bread.
- [45:07]
West
All right. Be bread.
- [45:09]
Sophie
I love.
- [45:10]
West
Here we go. What is the average price of a beer at Arrowhead stadium?
- [45:16]
Sophie
Oh, wow.
- [45:17]
West
A, 797. B, 855. C, 920. D, 1041. So I did see this on Twitter the other day, and it was a list, in order, of all the NFL stadiums from least expensive to most expensive beer prices. And the Chiefs were, like, very moderate. But I'm trying to remember what the moderate was.
- [45:42]
Sophie
I kind of. It's either B or C, though. I'm gonna go B again.
- [45:45]
West
I was gonna go B. So then I'll go.
- [45:49]
Sophie
Well, we could just go. We could both be right.
- [45:50]
West
You wanna go B together?
- [45:52]
Sophie
Yeah, let's do that.
- [45:53]
West
Let's do B together. 855. Fuck me. Oh. All right. Here we go.
- [46:02]
Sophie
In the early 2000s, Dante hall, nicknamed the Human Joystick for his profound kick return play, spent one season in the NFL Europe before returning to Kansas City. Which team did he play for? A, the Amsterdam Anvarls. How do you know this is a thing? B, the Hamburg Sea Devils. See the Scottish Claymores. Or D, the Frankfurt Sausage.
- [46:33]
West
Wow.
- [46:34]
Sophie
Is this a fake? Is this a fake question?
- [46:37]
West
D's gotta be fake. The Frankfurt Sausages.
- [46:41]
Sophie
But is there even an NFL Europe?
- [46:44]
West
Yeah, we have a lot of dudes who play there. It's just like, kind of. You don't want to give up the dream, so you just go to Europe and get your housing paid for and play football all over Europe.
- [46:53]
Sophie
There's no way that there's a team called the Sausages.
- [47:00]
West
I'm gonna go. Amsterdam Admirals. That just feels right to me.
- [47:08]
Sophie
What the fuck? Are you guys sure this is real? Is our producer messing with us? Okay, well, I guess I'll go. I'll go. The Sea Devils.
- [47:23]
West
The Scottish Claymores. Damn, it's beautiful.
- [47:27]
Sophie
Okay, last one and I'm getting my ass kicked. Fifteen years ago, Patrick Mahomes appeared in the Junior League Baseball World Series Championship game, now known as the Little League World Series, on espn. Representing Tyler, Texas, he recorded the game's first rbi. What team did he play against? A, Seoul, Korea, B, Toronto, Canada, C, Taipei, Taiwan. And D, San Juan, Puerto Rico.
- [48:06]
West
Dude, you know what? They love baseball in Korea. Not that they don't in Puerto Rico, but they. They love baseball in Korea. I'm gonna lock in Seoul, South Korea, somewhere.
- [48:20]
Sophie
I'd like to go on vacation soon. So I'm gonna go Puerto Rico.
- [48:24]
West
Wow. Fun. I don't Even know what our final score was.
- [48:30]
Sophie
I know I have one.
- [48:32]
West
I think I had two. Three to one.
- [48:34]
Sophie
I'm number one, baby. Hey, let's go play flip cup two rounds to see if I can catch up.
- [48:41]
West
Perfect. Good callback with that. I think we hop right into our new segment called tell me something. And we set up a voicemail for people to just ask us shit. And it's a 573 area code number, which is dope. And I think we're just going to answer some questions from people who called us. I hope it's not my mom. Is it her just saying she loves us and hopes we're having a good.
- [49:05]
Sophie
Day or it's your mom while she's delivering Lindsay's baby. And like everything that goes into play.
- [49:11]
West
With that, she's dilated just on voicemail. There you go.
- [49:16]
Sophie
My name is Elizabeth and I'm from Missouri and I have a question and a challenge for Sophie. My question is, who is your least favorite player to guard in the league? And my challenge is I challenge you to game a horse.
- [49:29]
West
Okay, Elizabeth.
- [49:31]
Sophie
Okay, Lizzy.
- [49:32]
West
She challenges you to game of horse?
- [49:35]
Sophie
No, she makes me nervous. I would think when I just think of just people who I just feel hopeless against, I would have to say Jonquill Jones from New York. She's just so strong and tall and just good. So I'm going to have to go there because I just kind of get put in that position as like a small four to maybe sometimes guard her and it's just never good. And then a game of horse girl. I'm so down. I. You sound confident. I like that. Kind of makes me nervous.
- [50:04]
West
What would be your first shot? Are you going to go trick shot or are you just going to go like left handed layup? You keep it simple.
- [50:10]
Sophie
Know something? I. I beat so many people off layups and if you do them enough, people will miss right hand. They're strong hand too. So like I'll do some jumpers, I'll do threes. I might do a couple trick shots. But when it comes down to their last letter, I stick with layups because I get in their head so much and they miss on layups on their last letter every time.
- [50:34]
West
An incredibly interesting take. But that's good.
- [50:37]
Sophie
I think I'm psycho. I like to mentally break people down.
- [50:44]
West
That's awesome. That's killer instinct.
- [50:45]
Sophie
Maybe that's why I've never kept a boyfriend.
- [50:50]
West
I would do granny shots and behind the back. All right, here we go. This is from John. You ready?
- [50:57]
Caller/Listener
Hey, guys. John here. Hey. We also wanted to see what she thought about the upcoming game between Mizzou and Kansas for the first time in a long time. And, Sophie, hang in there, girl. For all you girls over there. Be good.
- [51:15]
West
Yeah, John.
- [51:17]
Sophie
I'm Mr. Brighton. I love that.
- [51:27]
West
I'll give you the floor. I'll give you the floor. If I.
- [51:30]
Sophie
If my knee was good, I'd be jumping around this freaking apartment right now. I am so pumped for the border war. God, I hate Kansas. I hate them. I hate him. But inject Mr. Brightside into my damn veins. Oh, my God, I'm so hyped. Hmm.
- [51:41]
West
So the Mizzou ku, for everyone who doesn't know who's, like, not from Missouri. Missouri and Kansas hate each other. It was the best rivalry game I've ever seen growing up. Football and basketball, all sports. Honestly, the. There's, like, crazy, crazy Civil War ties that we, like, don't have to get into. But there has been hatred between both states for the longest time. Even the team's mascots go back to historical, like, little militias in Lawrence and in Columbia. I will say, unfortunately, Missouri was on the wrong side of history when the Civil War issues were unfolding. I think it was, like, the 1850s, 1860s, potentially. But, um, regardless, the hate is there. Growing up, I think I was in. I was either in seventh grade or eighth grade. Mizzou is number four. KU is number two. Both, I think, had, like, one loss. They played the game at Arrowhead. It was. Speaking of Chase Daniel. That was his team. Chase Daniel, Jeremy Macklin, Sean Witherspoon, all those dudes.
- [52:57]
Sophie
So good.
- [52:57]
West
Gosh, we were so won. But it's a beautiful game. I think the saddest part about all the new conferences are we've lost so many games like that. And, yeah, I can't believe that the game even lost itself, but.
- [53:18]
Sophie
Dude. But I'm so glad they're bringing it back, because at the end of the day, it just brings back, like, just good memories for everyone memories. You know what I mean? And it just, like, it's the continued tradition, and, like, I just watched it 30 for 30 literally yesterday on Catholics versus convicts, the Ohio or Notre Dame versus Miami.
- [53:37]
West
Yeah.
- [53:38]
Sophie
Have you heard about that rivalry?
- [53:40]
West
Yeah, that was because Notre Dame's never been in a conference. That one just, like, happened on its own. Like, it's kind of dope.
- [53:48]
Sophie
Yeah. But I. I watched the whole 30 for 30, and it was awesome. And now, like, I'm so invested that they brought that one back. Like, I love a good Border war. And yeah, they always get out of hand. And I get that. But like, on both sides, like, yeah, you got to kind of. But like, I will. I hate Kansas. Like, I. And I. Kayla and Shayla, remember they went to our high school. They both played there. And my cousin goes there. So, like, I have people that I love there. And like, if. If it's not really, like, basketball or football or I guess if we're always playing. I will always hate Kansas. But then, like, I don't really hate Kansas. No, Lawrence isn't Lawrence.
- [54:24]
West
Lawrence is a very cute town, too, but sports wise. And I've been detached from the University of Missouri sports for a while. But I will say I was raised to hate Kansas. Both my parents, all my family went to Mizzou. They hate Kansas. Everyone where I grew up hates Kansas. It would be a disservice to not care about this game on Saturday. And so with that, I will say.
- [54:50]
Sophie
M, I, Z, you better, because I'll kill you. I'll be having to do a single. A solo podcast for the rest of my life because you're dead.
- [55:01]
West
Did you. You guys played them in college?
- [55:05]
Sophie
Nope. They wouldn't let us do it because they were too scared to play us. They brought back the men's game, but they wouldn't. They wouldn't. The women didn't play each other for some reason. Oh, my God, I would have loved every second of that. But I hate. I really like, I. Our family hates Kansas so much that our aunt used to live up there for work and we would never. We wouldn't pay for gas. Like, we'd always wait to get on the Missouri side to, like, buy food, gas, all of it. Like, we try to spend at least a minute of money on that Kansas side.
- [55:35]
West
I remember when I was a kid that the, like, drunk college kids had shirts that said Kansas sucks on the front and in the back said and swallows. And I remember asking my parents, I go, what does that mean? And my parents were like, you'll figure it out one day. And I was like, oh, okay. But I visually remember those shirts that said that. And, like, not understanding the joke and begging my parents to tell me what those shirts meant. And they wouldn't.
- [56:01]
Sophie
We still have. We still have all those T shirts from when we were little and, like, Kansas, Kansas City or Kansas. Oh, first of all, I want to throw this out there for people who are hearing me shit on Kansas. And they're like, but you're a Chiefs fan. Chiefs are in Missouri.
- [56:15]
West
God, if you don't Know that. And you're listening to this. Just exit. Kansas City is in Missouri.
- [56:21]
Sophie
We don't need your view if you don't know that. So. But I remember, like, they used to have, like, a really, really kind of, like, bigger coach. I don't know if you remember.
- [56:30]
West
Like, we were like, Mangino was his name.
- [56:34]
Sophie
Yep, yep. And, like, the amount of shirts that were, like, frying him and everything. Oh, my God. And it's like, oh, there's just some really good shirts made from the border war. But, yeah, let me also.
- [56:45]
West
Let me also, for people who are listening, not from Missouri. Missouri borders Kansas to Kansas's east. To Kansas is. To Missouri's west. So it's a. It's a very easy drive. There's a big city right in between the two towns. Kansas City, Missouri. So there's a lot of, like, overlap. Kansas City is also a big city. There's high schools on the Kansas side, high schools on the Missouri side. Like, we know a bunch of people from Kansas. The rivalry is like. Yeah, it's so historic. And you have to choose a side, because even if you didn't go to Mizzou or ku, like, you have family that went to either. You have friends that went to Boat, like, either. And it is a huge deal. And it just. This is why sports are good. It's schools that hate each other. And I. It's. It's going to be beautiful. It's in Columbia.
- [57:30]
Sophie
Our. Yeah, our little cousin is now on the Mizzou football team, but his older brother goes to ku. And so I'm like, like, who are you choosing? Are you gonna go with family or are you gonna go with your school? It's gonna be interesting. I'm fucking mad for it, but all right. Do you have another question or question?
- [57:52]
West
I don't know. That might be it. Oh, yeah, we got one more. All right, here we go. I also forgot to mention, Montana State played Oregon on Saturday. We lost, but it's okay. Gold rush this weekend, guys. Lock in. All right, here we go. Last question of the day.
- [58:08]
Sophie
Lock in.
- [58:10]
Caller/Listener
West. West. And Sophie, you wonderful people, you ridge runners from Missouri, I need some love advice. I met a woman at a conference for work recently.
- [58:21]
West
Pause. It's gonna be about dating. Let's go. This is gonna be so awesome. We get to give dating advice.
- [58:27]
Sophie
Does he know who he's talking to?
- [58:30]
Caller/Listener
Rich Renner's from Missouri. I need some love advice. I met a woman at a conference for work recently that happened to be targeted at churches. She works at one of those churches. I do not. We started going out and have been hooking up since. I dig her. I think she hooks me. She lives out of state and is flying in this weekend for Labor Day. How dumb is this? Could we keep enjoying it? And Stewart in love. You guys got a great podcast. Take care.
- [59:01]
West
First off, you probably couldn't have called two worst people. I guess for this advice, we're both going to tell you keep hooking up.
- [59:09]
Sophie
No, I was about to say Wes is going to say, definitely keep hooking up, but talk to other girls on the side.
- [59:16]
West
No, you said you're both having fun. She's flying in. You guys like each other. There's something really hot about. Oh, God. About people who work together because it's a little taboo. It's kind of frowned upon. Should you tell hr? Should you not? Should we keep it a secret from our coworkers and you guys met at a conference. Also hot. Keep doing it and see what happens. As long as you're just don't start lying if someone. If someone higher up says, hey, she's got a twinkle in her eye when she's around you. We can all see it. Just don't lie about it. Keep it. Keep it 100 and have some fun. Especially if you guys have more conferences. What if you guys have a conference in, I don't know, maybe Tampa in a few months. You guys can go do a little boat day, drink some.
- [60:03]
Sophie
Margaret, you are running with this. There's no way we put this much effort into his dates and he's already planning a fucking Tampa trip for you guys. This is why you shouldn't ask us.
- [60:18]
West
The trips are being planned for them. That's kind of what I'm saying. Like, it's these conferences that's fun. Wait, two thumbs up for me.
- [60:27]
Sophie
My mind goes like conferences. When people meet up, it always makes me nervous. I feel like there's always like, are they dating someone back home? Are they actually married?
- [60:40]
West
That's good.
- [60:40]
Sophie
Like that. Dude, you just went on a five minute spiel not even thinking about that. Like.
- [60:48]
West
No, but I mean, that's a. That's a question you have to ask yourself. But if they're both behaving correctly, then that question's answered.
- [60:55]
Sophie
Like, if they're both single. Yeah, I think, like, like, yeah. Like, see, it's. It's. Yeah, that's fun. Like, see, dried out. Like, you know, you could maybe be married one day. But I just. I. Confidences make me nervous. I feel like a lot of people cheat at conferences and I'm not for cheaters like it is. Yeah, it's black and white for me. But I think if you're not. Go have fun. Why would you not, like, continue to. If you guys enjoy each other and all that time stuff and you guys bring each other a good joy in your life, then continue it. Why not?
- [61:26]
West
I know an Applebee's hates to see y' all coming if the conferences are in the Midwest. Ooh, ooh. Or Chili's. Or a Chili's even.
- [61:36]
Sophie
Dude, Applebee's and Chili's sound so good.
- [61:41]
West
Dude, Chili's.
- [61:42]
Sophie
Damn, I'm hungry.
- [61:44]
West
A triple dipper. That sounds so good. Cheese pulled mozzarella stick right now, dude. And like, a beer and, like, a frosty mug.
- [61:59]
Sophie
You know what? I think right now a good margarita has been sounding so good to me, but I also like a beach and a boat. Also sounds good. But like, oh, gee, try to knock out all three margarita with a mozzarella stick from Chili's. I'm down.
- [62:17]
West
That was fun.
- [62:18]
Sophie
Oh, my God. Should we join them if they go to Tampa and they go on a.
- [62:22]
West
He didn't. He didn't leave his name, but DM us and say that. Say the next time you guys are getting dinner, which, again, probably a Chili's in, like, a Midwest town, but if it is Tampa, we're. We'll come to you. Just let us know. Unless you're married, then we're against it. Wait, what?
- [62:40]
Sophie
What is it? Like, you have a throuple. What is it for? Oh, I guess it'd just be a double.
- [62:45]
West
What do you mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because there'd be four of us.
- [62:51]
Sophie
Oh, my God. Yeah.
- [62:52]
West
I would not watch for dating, our longest recording ever. Sophie, are you officially. Are you officially off pain meds, or are you easing off them as we speak?
- [63:05]
Sophie
No, I'm officially off. I debated one last time. Maybe doing a laxdiv again. I think you should really get me out. I don't think so, but I just want to end this podcast that I. I enjoy a lot of things in life, and I love a lot of things. I'm not really a hater. Like, I don't take a lot of things too seriously, but I absolutely hate Kansas.
- [63:29]
West
See ya.
- [63:42]
Sophie
This is an I heart podcast.
