- [00:51]
Sophie
Colin.

Colin. Yeah, I was about to say. Yeah, she's not here.
- [01:16]
Wes
Are we freaking rolling, dude?
- [01:18]
Sophie
Welcome back. I've missed you.
- [01:21]
Wes
Miss you too, dog. Are you in Arizona?
- [01:24]
Sophie
I am, yeah. It's been 80. It's been wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.
- [01:30]
Wes
I'm in Miami right now and actually today was probably 70 with a breeze. Oh, special stuff. Welcome back to the Show Me Something podcast, ladies and gentlemen. I just woke up from a hour nap, so it's gonna take me a few minutes to get the gears turned in here, but it's all good, dude.
- [01:53]
Sophie
You're good. I think it's episode 32, if I'm not mistaken, sponsored by our good friends over at Arby's. So we have some fun stuff coming up with them that we're not really gonna say quite yet, but we're excited, of course.
- [02:07]
Wes
And I mean, in the meantime, until we announce stuff, just go get a freaking roast beef, throw some curls, throw some curly fries on there. Are you kidding? Add some crunch, dude.
- [02:17]
Sophie
Sounds amazing, actually, right now. Okay, since we've talked last, you were going on Jimmy Fallon and then you went to like, the whole super bowl week. Now you're in Miami, the summer house is coming out. Like, you have a lot to update us on. I know, I know.
- [02:32]
Wes
We haven't talked since Fallon.
- [02:34]
Sophie
Yeah, it was the day of is when we talked and then you. Boom. Great fit, by the way. Love.
- [02:40]
Wes
I was just gonna say a lot of hate on that one.
- [02:42]
Sophie
What? Why?
- [02:43]
Wes
A lot of. A lot of, like, A lot of, like, west, you look ugly in that suit. Comments.
- [02:47]
Sophie
How? How?
- [02:49]
Wes
Yeah, I don't know if it's maybe the greens. Maybe it's like I'm pale. That was early February.
- [02:54]
Sophie
Hey, I'm just gonna let you know, people do not know what they're talking about because you looked freaking good. Honestly. You know what? You kind of looked like.
- [03:02]
Wes
I. I'm nervous for this answer.
- [03:05]
Sophie
What was green? That was very popular in the WNBA last season.
- [03:09]
Wes
I look like a dildo. Yeah.
- [03:11]
Sophie
But a good one. With glasses and. Yeah, it was nice.
- [03:15]
Wes
You know, a shiny green dildo with glasses. I'll take that.
- [03:20]
Sophie
That's fine with me, dude. On a real note, though, I thought you looked so fly. Like, I thought it was like a very sharp looking fit that that suit is from.
- [03:27]
Wes
It's Tyler the creator's clothing line. It's called the Floor. It's like, it's like golf, but like super hipster, like, street wear kind of stuff. It's really cool. It's called the Fleur Golf, but like, they make really cool stuff.
- [03:40]
Sophie
So.
- [03:40]
Wes
Thanks.
- [03:41]
Sophie
Nice.
- [03:41]
Wes
Yeah, it feels good to hear that. You know, sometimes when you're like, oh, is that not my best? And then someone says something nice.
- [03:46]
Sophie
So that's good. Screw those people. Dude. You look great.
- [03:49]
Kev
Yeah.
- [03:51]
Wes
Obviously, very cool experience. We did it with Kiki Palmer. So fun. Like, Lindsay, look. Lindsay looked smoking hot too.
- [03:57]
Sophie
She did.
- [03:58]
Wes
He looks so good. I think those things are always crazy because you see these people who have, like, literally been on TV every day that since you can remember, and you're like, you just know that that's who they are and that they're on tv. And then you get there and you're like, this person brings so much energy, makes you feel so comfortable, like, introduces everyone right when they get there. And I like, I, I, I'd met Jimmy a few months ago, but, like, the, the way he makes you feel so, like, comfortable and like, it's his first day ever doing it was so cool to watch. And I like, really, really admire him for that. It's also in a studio audience, which is cool. Yeah, the cool. My, the thing that I thought was the coolest. Like, a lot of studios, people read teleprompters. They have handwritten cue cards and so, like some detailing, like throwback handwritten. And he's throwing them and, like, they have stuff for the crowd to, like, get loud. And it's just really cool to like, be a part of something that's like, so iconic and see how organic the energy is. And just a special.
- [05:07]
Sophie
Was it a blast?
- [05:09]
Wes
So sick. My mom, dad, brother, brother's girlfriend, and then Heather and Uncle Brad all got to come and so that was like. That's my mom. My mom took a picture of my dad, like, helping me with my suit before. Like, just.
- [05:22]
Sophie
I love that. I know.
- [05:24]
Wes
Like, cool father son stuff, you know?
- [05:26]
Sophie
Yeah.
- [05:28]
Wes
So, Fallon, straight to our premiere party.
- [05:33]
Sophie
Yep.
- [05:33]
Wes
Which is pretty standard. Like.
- [05:35]
Sophie
Oh, I forgot about the pretty standard.
- [05:38]
Wes
Pretty standard. Like, Kyle gives a speech and then everyone else, like, takes pictures. And it was. It was fun. And then had, like, a little party after. Went home, went straight to the airport for super bowl, which we can get into all this stuff. But, I mean, the coolest thing was I hosted the fucking pregame show for.
- [05:57]
Sophie
NBC, which, like, how cool was it?
- [05:59]
Wes
Unreal, man. We were on a boat and I just, like. It was a boat with, like, some people from Sunday Night Football. And it's just. It's one of those moments where you think about all the work you've put in and, like, all the. All, like, the dumb I've done holding a microphone, like, trying to interview other people. And then I just took multiple moments where I was like, I. I thought when I flew there, I thought I was doing a peacock stream. Like, when I did Sunday Night Football, it was full. It was full NBC, like, on every TV across the world.
- [06:32]
Sophie
Dude, that's amazing.
- [06:33]
Wes
Yeah.
- [06:34]
Sophie
Wait, so was it one of those things that you knew what you were talking about and you got to prep for it, or it was just, like, natural conversation.
- [06:40]
Wes
They were like hits. So you're basically, like, introing and out showing stuff and not. You're not diving into, like, too much. Just, like, chill. Like, let's unpack a bunch of stuff. It's like, here's this. We're doing this. Get to it, keep it moving, and then, like, on to the next person.
- [06:55]
Sophie
Don't say less.
- [06:57]
Wes
Which I will say that, like, kind of makes the adrenaline crazier because you have. You have 20 seconds to, like, go. And it was like a boat full of people and, like, boats rocking and there's like a dude guiding the camera guy and a producer pointing. Like, it was so intense. But like, that. That's dope. And that was cool.
- [07:13]
Sophie
So that reminded me of when I did sideline. Like, sideline refers.
- [07:18]
Wes
Yeah.
- [07:18]
Sophie
For the NBA. Yeah, it was. It was just. Well, minus the boat. It was just like that, though, because the game was going on. You had camera, like, they were pulling you everywhere. And, like, you had 45 seconds to a minute to get across. You know, the. The keys of what the coaches talked about or what the offense was going to look like or what they wanted out of this game or what the opponent looked like. And so it is high adrenaline and you only have so much time to get in everything that you prep for. But I do feel like maybe sidelining is a little bit different because you can watch the game and watch the flow where yours was more like in and out, which was. Sounds cool as shit, to be honest.
- [07:53]
Wes
When you did sidelines, did you have a monitor so you were seeing what you were talking about, or was it full like a producer just being like, go.
- [08:01]
Sophie
So there was so many to start the game. They would cue to you and you'd talk about and you'd be on camera for maybe like 15 to 30 seconds, and then they would cue to the monitor. But some arenas had the monitor where you could see yourself and then you could tell what you're talking about, and others did so just kind of depend. So I fit it.
- [08:19]
Wes
I think the one underrated part of people who are on live tv, as frequent as they are, you're. You had to be so clocked in with, like, your bearings. And again, just like the con, like, your job is to say something original and thoughtful and, like, have good energy, but you're also. Someone's talking to you. They're telling you a camera to go to. You are being, like, thrown, like, new information in real time. And so I. Stuff like this just makes you appreciate, like, how good these people are. And there's just so many different variables into, like, making live TV good.
- [08:54]
Sophie
Yeah. But I do think, and I'm just saying once you have done it for a while, you get used to the people in your ear. Right. Like, you get used to it, but it does take a little bit because you have a. There's a lot going on in that earpiece that I think people. There should be a, like, behind the scenes of all what people are hearing and, like, what they're telling you.
- [09:12]
Wes
Like, like a Netflix show or something. Like. Like a reality show on production would be so interesting.
- [09:19]
Sophie
That would be full of drama. We think Housewives is dramatic. It's no. The production Cruise Thousand we talk about on Summer House.
- [09:26]
Wes
They could make a reality show easily out of the production of Summer House.
- [09:31]
Sophie
Yes.
- [09:31]
Wes
Like, the crazy chaos that goes on behind the scenes to, like, make stuff interesting and, like, work is crazy.
- [09:39]
Sophie
Yeah. You know, insane.
- [09:42]
Wes
So then, yeah, super bowl. And now I'm in Miami to film a commercial. So it's been. Well, pause more stuff.
- [09:50]
Sophie
But you. You met your idol, Colin. How was it?
- [09:58]
Wes
I mean, just like, I've just been waiting forever, and I, I. Because it Was all volume stuff. Actually, I'll start it. I'll say it. I felt like he wanted to tell me how much he loved you. And I was like, damn it, Colin. Yeah, screw her.
- [10:13]
Sophie
Screw her.
- [10:14]
Wes
I was like, yeah, she's fine, Colin.
- [10:18]
Sophie
Yeah, I was about to say, yeah, she's not here.
- [10:22]
Wes
It was. I mean, it was like in a loud party. And I, I, you know, he had to talk to a zillion people. But like, he came up, big smile.
- [10:30]
Sophie
You got the picture.
- [10:31]
Wes
Yeah, I got the picture. And I wanted to be. Because technically we are all under the same volume umbrella. I didn't want to be like a fanboy. But I don't know how you don't tell someone. I've. I've religiously watched you every day of my life since I was like 21. Every day. And so I kind of. I was like. I kind of like, waited. You can never lead with it. You gotta wait till. Yeah. And then I was like, hey, what.
- [10:58]
Sophie
Was it right before you left? Hey, big fan, by the way. All right, we'll see.
- [11:01]
Wes
Yeah, it was right before he, like, had to leave. Like after we took the picture.
- [11:04]
Sophie
Yeah, I love that.
- [11:06]
Wes
But you always gotta. When you meet someone cool, I think you always gotta have a good. Like a good something you share in common. That's not like you fanboying, but you're not talking about yourself. So, like, he went to Eastern Washington, which is a school. It was a Big sky school. So I kind of was like, you know, I. Like, I played in Montana State. I know you didn't know that, but like, I've been, you know, I've been to Cheney a bunch of times. That's like where he is from and where he went to college.
- [11:29]
Sophie
And so I bet he appreciates that, though. Yeah, I was gonna say, I bet he appreciates familiarity for sure.
- [11:34]
Wes
But I will say he was like. He was like. Like, you guys are crushing it. Like, we know. We love you and Sophie. Make sure you tell. Give Sophie my best. Tell Sophie I said hi.
- [11:43]
Sophie
Oh, thank you, Colin. Yeah, we need to get you and Colin to come to a WNBA game together.
- [11:49]
Wes
Kev, write that down right now. Make sure it, like it has to happen.
- [11:55]
Sophie
But if you guys are going to come, you have to totally fangirl over me.
- [11:59]
Wes
Duh. Every time you make a shot.
- [12:02]
Sophie
Yeah.
- [12:02]
Wes
So that was the week. It was good. And then I did actually, I did a thing with Jackson Dart. Total beast. That guy rocks.
- [12:10]
Sophie
Really?
- [12:10]
Wes
Quarterback of the Giants.
- [12:11]
Sophie
Yep.
- [12:12]
Wes
Kev's wife Andrea helped run all of it. Shout Out. Shout out to fam.
- [12:16]
Sophie
She's about to be a NBA All Star. That's what I'm doing this weekend. And Kev's like, oh, she'll be out there.
- [12:21]
Wes
What's your job this weekend? Oh, are you stared for vibes?
- [12:25]
Sophie
No, gosh, I'm not. If I want to go for vibes, I'm going to Cabo. I'm not going to an where I have to work the whole time anyway. No, I'm going out up to NBA All Star. Just. I have kind of just what you did, how you had so much going on. It's exactly what I'm going to be doing. So it'll be fun. There's going to be a lot of fun people there. A lot of cool activations. A lot of cool people like it. It will be a blast. So I'm. I'm excited, but I just need some rest because I went to waste management this past weekend.
- [12:57]
Wes
Oh, yeah. Well, before you get into it, or I could let you do it.
- [13:01]
Sophie
What?
- [13:02]
Wes
You skipped the super bowl because you. You were going to rest up. So we all heard. Well, so tell us about this weekend.
- [13:08]
Sophie
Floor is yours. Honestly? Yeah, I'm. I have to eat some of my words because I did stay to rehab, and so I rehabbed Monday. This is where it gets bad. I so remember Alex. So her husband and like seven their friends came down to waste management, and so I should have known that I wasn't going to stay. Discipline to what I should have been doing. And so Monday through Wednesday, I worked out like four workouts a day. Got my rehab in. Like, I was really dialed in. Well, yeah, then I started canceling because of them because I had too much fun. So on Thursday, Friday, I was just like. I texted everyone. I was like, hey, can't do it. Like, I got the best of me. But Friday, I Waste management.
- [13:54]
Wes
Were you hungover or you just didn't think you should do. You didn't think you should keep the train moving?
- [13:59]
Sophie
No, I was definitely hungover. Like, it was way too. I couldn't do it. Oh, gosh. I couldn't do it.
- [14:04]
Listener from Puerto Rico
Wow.
- [14:06]
Sophie
But it was. I'm not kidding, West. Friday was probably one of the most fun days I've had in a hot minute. It was a blast.
- [14:12]
Wes
Is that. That's the day where it's the 8? What is it the 16th hole or is the 18th hole? What's the one?
- [14:16]
Sophie
Everyone shrinks out, but, like, the 16th hole, really every week, like, all week is crazy. So, like, Saturday is really, like the crazy Crazy day. But for some reason Friday was way better than Saturday. It was awesome.
- [14:30]
Wes
Am I crazy for saying like, I mean, I guess golf doesn't like need help at the moment, but like the Happy Gilmore esque vibes there I think would be so fun everywhere.
- [14:40]
Sophie
Well, but the, the. Because it's a part of the pga, like it's an actual accounts as a tournament. And so the golfers, the older golfers don't play in it really much anymore because they just don't like the vibe of it. It's like more the young upcoming golfers that like love it because it's. It's crazy. Like it's not. It's typical golf environment. So. I understand that, but I also think you know what you're getting yourself into. Like, I think that's what makes it fun too. So.
- [15:05]
Wes
Yeah, I don't know. So is. Does. Is it also just Phoenix and like, like Scottsdale are like super crazy that week or insane?
- [15:13]
Sophie
Is it like everything's insane? Yes. And so like three, four years ago, the super bowl and waste management, it's always on the same weekend.
- [15:21]
Wes
That was when we played the Eagles.
- [15:23]
Sophie
Yes. And so when it was both out here, that was just like, it was like too much almost. It was insane. But waste management was so much fun. Honestly. Watched the game Sunday, but like, kind of boring in my opinion. But maybe it's because I'm used to like that being Chiefs weekend and it just wasn't.
- [15:40]
Wes
No. You know what's so funny about you saying that? I was like way more tired this week at super bowl than I was last week. And it kind of hit me, I was like. I think the adrenaline of the Chiefs being in it last year, like, kind of just had me so wired. And this year I just kind of like there was no like super big draw to Sunday afternoon like pulling me through. No, that I was just kind of like I was. I was so wiped out. I was so wiped out the whole time, dude.
- [16:10]
Sophie
Like, we grilled and everything, but we end up like playing spades the entire game. And like didn't even really like we paid attention. And like the guys, they all like bet on the game and like they, they were watching it, but like, just not as in like no one was like, thrilled about it. You know what I mean? Like, it wasn't like.

Sophie
Um, another thing that I just want to talk about real quick before we get into hot girl the week our cba it is dude, insane.
- [18:21]
Wes
I, I saw you post a little something.
- [18:24]
Sophie
It's like I can't again, I'm not really allowed to share everything that's going on, but it is so weird to me that like, I mean you can put this in mlb, NFL, NBA, like whatever terms you want to think about, but it's literally like half our league as owners want to pour in and give and like the other half just don't. Like like I mentioned last podcast, it was like New York, Seattle, Phoenix, Indiana, like Indy's doing it. I mean they're building it. The going to be one of the best facilities in the entire World in 2027. Like practice facilities.
- [19:02]
Wes
Can I ask the most annoying question of all, yeah, do it. I. I actually regret this, but like, do you guys.
- [19:09]
Sophie
Do.
- [19:09]
Wes
You don't share facilities with the Pacers.
- [19:11]
Sophie
So Gainbridge as a whole, that's where our locker room is and that's where their game day locker room is. And then within the arena, it's called Salesforce Arena. That's like the practice arena.
- [19:22]
Wes
And so that's so not a dumb question, right?
- [19:26]
Sophie
No, no, not a dumb question.
- [19:27]
Wes
Okay.
- [19:27]
Sophie
No, you're good. You're good. So that's kind of like where we practice all the time. We either practice there on the main arena floor, and then the guys have their own practice facility that's attached under the ground. So it's a beautiful facility, but like the fever. Yeah, dude. And like we've seen the blueprint and it's about to be amazing. Like, like, like Indiana takes care of you. Like, they truly take care of you from top to bottom. New York does the same thing. Phoenix, Seattle, there's. I think the Valkyries in San Fran do a great job. I think Toronto is going to do a great job. But like, it is just blows my mind that like these other owners are doing the most bare minimum. And it's like, sell your team and let other people who want to be a part of something great, like put their money into it. You know what I mean? But just. It's just kind of crazy to me. I don't know.
- [20:12]
Wes
Well, the whole reason that you have negotiations, like we kind of talked about this last time are like, there wouldn't be. It's not a lockout, but it's a. It's like no movement is because owners are on. Have such different POVs on how. How it should be ran, how they see all of this working out. And like, yeah, it sucks. It sucks that this almost like would encourage the owners who do spend money. It's like, it's encouraging them to just be like, we want our season to happen, so we're going to like to like, meet in the middle. We will like, spend less. And that should never happen like this.
- [20:50]
Sophie
Like, if we're going to have a season, it has to happen within this next month of coming to an agreement. Otherwise it's going to be a lockout or strike, which is insane. Would not be insane.
- [21:00]
Wes
I. I will say I do think it's nice or like there's a little bit less pressure. The fact that there's two other leagues kind of right now, I feel like gives you guys a little cushion, dude.
- [21:14]
Sophie
So weird though, I was with some MLB people that are part of the. The office. And then a bunch of players and coaches the other day and they were talking about how next year they could totally see the MLB going on strike because of like their same thing because of their salary and like teams. You know how the Dodgers just pay for like pay for everyone. Like they still produce but like there's going to be like there's going to be a lot of business decisions when it comes to money and whatnot. And they say that they could definitely see a lockout or strike in their future.
- [21:48]
Wes
I mean, I think the MLB has gotten pretty bad with like the disparity and, and how much owners pay. Clearly the Dodgers are like the most obvious answer, but like even the Mets. The Mets spend so much fucking money. Like clearly the Yankees do. It's. That part sucks because like the fact that the Royals wanted a world series in 2015 is actually insane. Mind boggling that they pulled that off. Yeah, the mlb, like they're still all billionaires and like could spend more money. I just wish I prefer a salary cap. I don't know if that makes me sound crazy, but you know, I have dumb question. Do you guys have a cap?
- [22:37]
Sophie
Fuck yeah.
- [22:38]
Wes
Oh, so. Oh, okay. Okay.
- [22:40]
Sophie
I don't know if that's. That's actually. That's what it feels like.
- [22:42]
Wes
Yeah, yeah.
- [22:44]
Sophie
Who knows? Probably shooting myself in the foot. But no, it's. It's going to be interesting. So I feel like the next couple weeks I'm going to like. We have a CBA meeting coming up. I need to look. It's either at the end of this week or upcoming. So like we'll have more to talk about because it's getting interesting. It's very, very cool from the business side of things, to be honest. I am an optimist and I want to thank good thoughts because I think all these other leagues are amazing. Right. You have Project B which is going to be phenomenal. You have unrivaled, which is a lot of people are doing. But I do think, you know, the WNBA is the platform of it, you know, and so you got to have it. So I'm. I'm really hoping that if the league side gets their. Their ish together, then I think we're 70% going to have a season, which is pretty high.
- [23:36]
Wes
Oh, I was going to say it's not high at all.
- [23:39]
Sophie
Oh really?
- [23:39]
Wes
I mean 70. I just, I. You like. I feel like these instances you're always like, oh, what's gonna happen? And then.
- [23:46]
Sophie
Well, I think, I think no one's.
- [23:48]
Wes
Making money if the season didn't happen. So, like, happens, but, like, well, that's.
- [23:53]
Sophie
What I'm gonna say. I think that, like, on the business wise, you just can't. You can't not have a season. That'd be, like, the worst thing that you could possibly do for the wnba, like, in the. And they know that. The owners know that, so they have. They have got to come correct.
- [24:06]
Wes
If it goes to a lockout, whose decision is that? Is that players or is that the owners who think that the. The league is, like, them over?
- [24:15]
Sophie
Well, I could be. I think I'm totally wrong when I say this, but I think that, like, we can go on strike and then they can go on lockout or, like, they can call for a lockout. Like, I think that. I don't really know the terminology, but I'm pretty sure either can. Like, either one can say, hey, we're not doing it. You know what I mean?
- [24:34]
Wes
Yeah.
- [24:35]
Sophie
So I think they know that, how serious we are. So I just think that, you know, they're gonna get it together, so we'll see. Otherwise, I'm gonna come be on Summer House with you. Okay. Heads up. Arby's just rolled out a new deal, and I'm not gonna lie. It's kind of a big deal.
- [24:52]
Wes
Yeah, this meat and three box is doing numbers for 7.99. So tell the people what they're working with.
- [24:57]
Sophie
All right, here's the play. First, you pick your sandwich. You either get a classic roast beef or crispy chicken. Honestly, not a bad choice with either one here.
- [25:04]
Wes
And then RV Starts stacking the extras. You've got the curly fries, mozzarella sticks, and a peach cobbler.
- [25:09]
Sophie
Rol, that peach cobbler roll might be the real mvp.
- [25:12]
Wes
And of course, Arby's got you on the drink, too. So, yeah, it's called the meat in three, but that's really like an all star starting five. Boom.
- [25:18]
Sophie
Five items for 799. It's their new deal filled with all the classic RB stuff you already love.
- [25:23]
Wes
So whether it's lunch, dinner, or you're just hungry and need something that hits the meat in three bucks is the move. I obviously, like, love to shout out, because I'm in. I've been involved with men's sports so much. I am around wives, girlfriends, moms who, like, sacrifice so much to, like, help these people get to where they are. And I've played with so many people who have incredible families. So I want to shout out. It's kind of a two for one Ty Okada, Montana State Bobcat, who just won a Super bowl ring for the Seattle Seahawks. His mother is the sweetest, most kind woman I've maybe ever met. She's someone you'd see after games, would find you, kiss on the cheek, invite you to get food. Just such a good, good, good family. She went to the Montana State championship game. Ty wasn't even playing. She went because she cares about school, like, cares about seeing all of Ty's friends, whatever. Obviously, I'm happy for Ty and his family, but, like, I couldn't imagine being a mother who put in so much work to like, get your kid to little league games, then to high school, and then send them to college and then to have them go all the way to make a Super bowl has got to be just, like, such a special experience, you know? And it's cool when you see people who have. Who are always just so kind to you and, like, so such lovely energy get to experience that. And, like, they're at the parade today. And so I want to shout out, my boy, Ty Okada's mom, Michelle. She's the hot girl of the week for just, like, being a pillar of an example of, like, a mom and a awesome person. And so congrats to the Okada family. But, like, she's the backbone.
- [27:14]
Sophie
I love that. That was actually really nice of you. Okay, so mine. I could have gone with so many just badass women. I was saying this week and pretty much, like, the next, like, couple of weeks, just because of the Olympics going on and just, like, so many Olympic stories, so many comeback stories. But I have to go with our USA Women's hockey team. They are badass, and they are killing it. Like, they. It's just really cool. I. I feel like. I don't know if you did, Wes, but I just feel like in Missouri, we didn't really get to grow up. I know we have the St. Louis Blues, but, like, hockey was not a hockey.
- [27:50]
Wes
Not a hockey state, not a hockey state.
- [27:52]
Sophie
It's not. It's really not. But, like, just, like, the videos that I've been watching on, like, the men's national team of, like, just hockey, when they compete against Canada and now, like, the women.
- [28:01]
Wes
Canada 5 0.
- [28:03]
Sophie
Dude, I know.
- [28:04]
Wes
It's not about the men.
- [28:05]
Sophie
I know. But, I mean, that's still badass and, like. But the women. The women are, like, some tough motherfuckers. Like, they are. They're solid, man. They're so fun to watch.
- [28:16]
Wes
I'm only saying this because it's hot girl of the week. I would never, ever, ever make it about looks ever. But also hot. Well, there's a lot of, like, really pretty women players.
- [28:27]
Sophie
There really are. And they could also put you on your ass. Like, that is great combo in that sport. Right. So I would. I don't know how, but we should get to somehow a game because they. They were just so fun to watch. I don't even know how to explain. Like, I was excited and smiling throughout the whole match. Like, it was awesome. It was super cool. So my hot girls of the week are the USA Women's National Hockey Team. Buck yak. That's fire. Yeah, I love.
- [28:52]
Wes
What up, Kev? What we got, Kev?
- [28:53]
Kev
All right, let's hop into some headlines here. So first one here comes from the NBA world. Big brawl between the Pistons and the Hornets.
- [29:01]
Sophie
Wes, have you seen this?
- [29:02]
Wes
I've already seen it. You don't have to play it. I mean, I don't know. So if you might have a different or you might say otherwise. But like, Miles Bridges is already known for being like, a fucking dirtbag. So, like, that's no surprise. I surprised there's not more of that. I. Okay, I'm not condoning fucking whatever look, but, hey, the NBA, the NBA needs more fights. They don't give. I don't think the NBA, they don't give a fuck. In my opinion. It's like buddy, buddy, jersey swap every game. Like, they're all homeboys. I don't think anyone gives that much of like, it's not that angry. Like, when we think of like, Pistons and Dennis Rodman and like just that whole era. Give me more fights in the NBA. If the NBA needs anything, it's more fights and also box. That I like. That's to show that they, like, have one. Have each other's backs.
- [29:57]
Sophie
Yeah.
- [29:57]
Wes
And then to actually give a fuck. That's good to see. So congrats, NBA dude.
- [30:03]
Sophie
I honestly, they're down views so bad. Like, and it's not. It's not about, like, fighting and whatnot, but, like, I think you're right that when you do kind of have that. Sometimes I think they've become a little soft. But it feels good to know that your teammates care. It feels good to your fans know, like, hey, like, our team's protected. Like, our star is going to be protected all that. But I would. I'm just saying, like, it's when someone gets smushed, especially like a dude, you gotta. You gotta respond. Like, you can't. No, you can't do. I mean, I Was, I was.
- [30:35]
Wes
I know who I'm talking to.
- [30:36]
Sophie
Yeah. Don't ever fucking touch my face. I, I, I cannot. That's where like I just can't. You can hit me in the arm, you can do whatever, but don't touch my face.
- [30:45]
Wes
Okay? I cosign.
- [30:47]
Sophie
Yeah.
- [30:50]
Kev
Switching gears here. Less fights and more about love. Valentine's Day is this weekend and Dave and Busters is bringing the goodies. As you know, they have a human crane game inside the D&BS and this weekend they're placing five $15,000 three carat diamond engagement rings. So are you guys taking your girls to DMV this week?
- [31:08]
Wes
Sophie, imagine if I got down on a knee and I, and I gave you your dream ring and it was. You opened it up and it was from a Dave and Buster's arcade game.
- [31:18]
Sophie
Wes, can I just tell you that first of all, if you're taking me there for Valentine's Day where you're not my co host anymore.
- [31:25]
Wes
And I don't mean if it was from Valentine's. Like, what if you, what if the dude went there, got it, and then proposed with that ring like three months later?
- [31:33]
Sophie
Hey, you know what? I'm not going to d. Diss. No, I'm not gonna diss of like, hey, if you get a free fifteen thousand dollar ring, even if it was like five thousand, ten thousand, do your thing. Like, I'm in full support of that. But I'm just saying like, like, like I don't want to shut anyone down because honestly like I go, go, like go, go. Try and find it. But if someone ever takes me to Dave and Busters and that's where I get proposed to, I'm gonna mush you in the face and then I'm leaving.
- [31:58]
Wes
Okay, beautiful.
- [31:59]
Kev
All right, last one here from the headlines, USA Winter Olympics. I know you already shouted out the women's hockey team, but we also want to shout some more people here. Breezy Johnson took the alpine skiing gold, the quad guy for his crazy backflip. And then Lindsey Von, you know, torn ACL came back, then unfortunately crashed again. But you know, shout out to her, she had an incredible career. Guys, your thoughts on some of the standout athletes this Winter Olympics.
- [32:22]
Sophie
Please tell me, Wes, that you've been paying attention to at least some of them.
- [32:26]
Wes
Yeah, well, especially the downhill skiers who are like, the bigger your dick is, the farther you can jump.
- [32:31]
Sophie
Well, of course while you're watching that, you're, you're tuned in. No, I can't go to the Super Bowl. I have to watch this guy jump.
- [32:38]
Wes
I followed Lindsey Vaughn for a long time though. Actually, she's been like our. I mean, one of an American staple forever. Yeah, she. She used to date the Dude.
- [32:50]
Sophie
Devils.
- [32:51]
Wes
No. A hockey player Subin. But I. One of the brothers. I forget. Anyways, I. I'm sad for what happened. I kind of thought her timeline was like, already pretty insane. But like, yeah, I mean, you gotta like tip your cap to her. Because the hard thing with the Olympics or like the World cup or whatever, they're not like, you don't get like the super bowl like next year to just like, give it a shot again.
- [33:17]
Sophie
Nope.
- [33:17]
Wes
Like, she. Of course she was gonna do that. Like, it's you. You, like, you. You don't get to do this again until four years. So, like, the. The stress that would come with performing in the Olympics, I couldn't even imagine. When you only get to do it every four years. Like, that's something that like you nor I could like, like, have ever really ever experienced because.
- [33:38]
Sophie
No. Well. And I would. I know that I'll probably get some like, hate or heat for saying what I'm about to say, but I really do think that the Winter Olympics is so much more dangerous than the Summer Olympics. Like, what they have to do is like, insane to me. All of it.
- [33:54]
Wes
Besides, I think, I mean, snow and ice give you like, speed, and so there's just way more like, in the air facts and like, just moving fast. So I. I totally agree.
- [34:05]
Sophie
But that is. That is so hard that, you know, she's worked her complete ass off to get there and then that's where you get injured like that. That blows. But I want to talk about the quad guide. Dude, he's phenomenal. Like Blades of glory times 10. It was fucking awesome. But the quad God is excellent. Like, there's never been a figure skater like him, so he's been really fun to watch. I think after the rest of the holidays, what you really want is your space back.

Listener from Puerto Rico
Hey you guys, I'm listening to your podcast every time I'm from Puerto Rico. I have one question for you about Pat Bunny playing in the halftime for the super bowl. But I would like to know what your thoughts about it. Sophie, I wish you the best. Good recovery and we love you here from San Juan, Puerto Rico. You're welcome to come to our beautiful island anytime. To both of you, thank you very much. God bless you.
- [37:14]
Sophie
Say less Puerto Rico.
- [37:17]
Wes
Bad Bunny. The Puerto Rican himself without getting on a big fat soapbox.
- [37:24]
Sophie
Come on, go for it. I wanted this.
- [37:26]
Wes
I wanted this beautiful, beautiful halftime show that ended with many messages of love and I think love that. It's. It's fucking crazy what the discourse has become. America is a fucking diverse country and there are people here who fucking Speak Spanish. And if that fucking bugs you, fucking just please fuck all the way off. I, like, I'll talk about. I could talk about this for hours, but, like, I. Yeah, it was fine. They're also not port. Fucking Jesus. Sorry. Puerto Rico, part of the United States also. There have been other people from other countries that have performed at the Super Bowl. Holy. Sorry for cussing again, but, like.
- [38:12]
Kev
I.
- [38:12]
Wes
Was there, so I actually didn't watch the performance via, like, the actual broadcast. I was just in a stadium that was playing.
- [38:20]
Sophie
Like, dude, how was it in the stadium music?
- [38:24]
Wes
It was good. I mean, honestly, here's my one take. Yeah, typically, if you're in a stadium, you, like, can't really hear the lyrics that well anyway. So you're, like, kind of trying to, like, dissect and chase understanding the lyrics when it is in English. I almost felt like more content knowing that I wasn't gonna know what the music was. So I just would beat vibing and beat surfing the whole time.
- [38:48]
Sophie
Anyways, yeah, I was, I was curious to know what it was like there, you know, like, because, I mean, I feel.
- [38:57]
Wes
You're at a club.
- [38:58]
Sophie
Yeah, well, yeah, you're at Bad Bunny. Like, that's what it is. But I do think the, I mean, you see it on, everywhere, the scoreboard. That said, the only thing more powerful than hate is love. Like, that has been everywhere. And I just love that. Like, I think that's a great, great message. I do. Wes, I, I'm not mad at your, your point of view, but do you think that there could have been a couple English songs?
- [39:21]
Wes
He's just. There was Lady Gaga saying in English. She did. So. Yeah, there was.
- [39:27]
Sophie
Dude, what. Where does she come from?
- [39:29]
Wes
Like, just a.
- [39:31]
Sophie
No, I know that, but, like, did anyone know she was gonna be there?
- [39:35]
Wes
No, but I think every year, the super bowl, there's always, like, someone sneaky that they bring in. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [39:44]
Sophie
No, I, I, I'm not mad at your take at all. I think that you are in the United States and it's a melting pot. You're gonna have a lot of different ethnicities, a lot of people who speak different languages. You have to evolve with the times too. Like, it's, It's Bad Bunny. He, he was. He's one of the best performers in the entire world right now. So it makes sense on why they chose him. Dude, wait, time out. The moving trees, dude.
- [40:06]
Wes
So, okay, so they had those people. We just saw them with little legs, like, and we were like, oh, my God, there's huge. There's like human trees. But they didn't do much, though. Like, I don't know what they looked like on tv. They kind of were just, like, very minimal. And I thought, if you're gonna have a million human trees, human bushes, they would, like, do more, like. I thought maybe they would dance. They like their dreams.
- [40:29]
Sophie
The fact that they were human, so.
- [40:31]
Wes
So minimal was so cool.
- [40:34]
Sophie
Hey, shout out to Adidas, though. Everyone was wearing Adidas, and they're like, the shoes that they already had are already sold out. So shout out to the sponsor. Yo, Shout out.
- [40:43]
Kev
All right, we had another singing question for you here, so if this one's for you.
- [40:47]
Sophie
Uh. Oh, hey, guys. Barb here. I absolutely love your YouTube podcast. It's like listening to a couple of friends just sitting around shooting the shit.
- [40:59]
Wes
That's what it is, Barb.
- [41:00]
Sophie
Yeah, there's not much else that goes into that, Barb.
- [41:04]
Wes
That's all we do.
- [41:05]
Sophie
Video on social media of you singing. Would you ever consider that as plan B? Oh, I don't know if I would consider it as plan B. But, you guys, I think that there might be something kind of cool in the background brewing that I might be doing something with someone like a little. Little country artist, because that's more my vibe. You know what I mean?
- [41:27]
Wes
So spill the beans, Sophie.
- [41:29]
Sophie
That's all I have. That's all I have. So what. What happened is I work with three Arts now, and three Arts, and this is, like, this has just started going. So three Arts reached out and was like, hey, we know the guy who found and produces and started off like, Hardy, Morgan Wallen, and, like, for other people. And they're like. They're like. Like, she. She needs to get on a song. So I think, like, something might be happening with some country artist. I don't know. It's, like, in the works, dude. You know, that would be.
- [41:59]
Wes
Is it Jesse Solomon?
- [42:01]
Sophie
Yeah, dude, I saw. I saw you post that. I. You know, I've never. Is he just a dj or is he, like, a singer?
- [42:07]
Wes
No, Kyle is the dj. Jesse. Jesse sings.
- [42:10]
Sophie
So, like, he, like, actually sings. Like, does he write his own songs and everything?
- [42:15]
Wes
Yeah.
- [42:16]
Sophie
What?
- [42:16]
Wes
I was with him. Today's song. Of course. Yeah.
- [42:20]
Sophie
Is it. Is it What. What are the vibes?
- [42:22]
Wes
I. I like when he plays me his new music. I'm all. I'm, like, always impressed. It's. It's after the, like, 900th time in a week that I've heard it that I'm like, new song.
- [42:33]
Sophie
I love it. I love it. Yeah, it's good stuff.
- [42:35]
Wes
Hey.
- [42:36]
Sophie
Hey. We done did it.
- [42:38]
Wes
That was official. That was good.
- [42:40]
Sophie
It was just a couple friends shooting the shit.
- [42:41]
Wes
She goes, your podcast reminds me of two friends just talking about bullshit. And I was like, yeah, little does.
- [42:46]
Sophie
She know, our producers and everyone putting it on. I was like, can you guys please help us with the show? Well, sorry, Kev. Perfect. But all right, well, we'll see you guys next week. We had fun.
- [42:59]
Wes
Later, Alligator.
- [43:07]
