Transcript

[Sid]

But also, happy New Year. Oh, okay now. Happy New Year. What's up, babysitters? Okay, y', all, it's a new year, so you know what that means. I hope you have your resolutions ready, but be ready to commit this year. I'm kind of sick of them saying they're gonna do something and they don't do it.

[Teresa]

Also, don't change us. Like, if you're gonna choose to change anything in your life, don't change watching unsupervised. We enjoyed you in 2025.

[Sid]

We.

[Teresa]

We can't wait for 2026.

[Sid]

We can't wait. But we're gonna use. We're gonna use this episode to go back in time and cover some of our favorite moments from the first however many episodes. So stay tuned.

[Teresa]

It up. You said that we gone flat.

[Sid]

Well, then I'm calling your blood.

[Teresa]

We have a podcast.

[Sid]

We have a podcast, y'. All. It's called Unsupervised.

[Teresa]

It is called Unsupervised. And you guys don't know this yet, but tell them.

[Sid]

Tell them.

[Teresa]

I think we're going to start referring to you guys as the babysitters since we're. We're the unsupervised adults that you guys are technically watching.

[Sid]

Y' all are watching us. I want to say good luck to you guys. Wait, good luck to who? The. The listeners or us?

[Teresa]

To the listeners. Oh, yeah.

[Sid]

Why are you saying good luck to them?

[Teresa]

It's obvious.

[Sid]

Because it's gonna be hellish. Okay, mama, well, I'll call you back when we're done shooting. I love you so much.

[Teresa]

We love you.

[Sid]

Love you guys.

[Teresa]

Bye. Bye.

[Sid]

Okay, mama. Also, don't trust anybody. Yeah, I never did, period. She always tells us that anywhere we leave to go, anytime we leave to go somewhere. She said, y be do not trust anybody. I mean anybody.

[Teresa]

To this day.

[Sid]

To this day. To this day.

[Teresa]

I mean, you parents only give you advice that they feel like you need to hear, so maybe, yeah, maybe that reflection needs to be inward if you're still. If she feels.

[Sid]

Did you just say N word?

[Teresa]

Inward.

[Sid]

Inward. N word. Did you just call me the N word? We're already cancelled. This is our first.

[Teresa]

This is a bad.

[Sid]

This is the first is a bad.

[Teresa]

Look, my apologies said we gotta come up with a handshake for the babysitters

[Sid]

to virtually do with them.

[Teresa]

Oh, I would love it to virtually do with them.

[Sid]

I love that it goes like this

[Teresa]

for all of our audio. Scissors. Scissors. Scissors. Requested handshake is a scissor. Like a scissor motion. Like one hand's making a scissor into the other hand. So, I mean, if that's your vibe, baby Sears, go for it.

[Sid]

In this holiday spirit, I got a holiday game for you. Oh, you excited?

[Teresa]

I never know how to react to this because I have no idea what's coming through. Your other games have been gaslighting and.

[Sid]

Oh, no. I want to stay in this festive holiday spirit that we're in. All right, so I just recently watched the Polar Express, like, for the first time. Okay, so here's a scenario. The Polar Express is flying down the tracks. You can pull a lever because on one side, your parents are on the tracks. Tied up on the other side, there are a hundred people.

[Teresa]

Oh, my God.

[Sid]

That would die if you pull the lever. So what are you doing?

[Teresa]

This is the darkest, jolly Christmas spirited game I feel like I've ever been a part of.

[Sid]

And it could be your mom or your dad or your brother, Anyone, any one person. But on the other side, there are a hundred people the track. So if you pull it, 100 complete strangers.

[Teresa]

I don't know them.

[Sid]

Yeah.

[Teresa]

Are they all staring at me, knowing that I have to make this decision? Like everybody's life is in my hands. Oh, it's a blind decision.

[Sid]

Yeah, man. Sid, how is this a game? Come on. You got five seconds. Five.

[Teresa]

I'm jumping off the train.

[Sid]

Huh?

[Teresa]

I'm just jumping.

[Sid]

No, no, you're not on it. You're just a person that's pulling it. You're not on it. This is just some scenario. Stop being a wuss. You got to make a decision.

[Teresa]

You know what? I'm gonna. I guess I'll save the people. And then before the train gets there, I'm jumping in with my family and we can all go together. You know, Be a beautiful Christmas story.

[Sid]

No, you're not close enough. But I do want to say now that you save those other people. Those were a hundred people involved in the January 6th. No, in the January 6th. You just saved. You just saved all of them over your family. No. That's hella embarrassing.

[Teresa]

I'm cranking that lever the other way. I would jump on that lever.

[Sid]

Too late, too late, too late, too late, too late. Did you enjoy that game, though?

[Teresa]

No, I absolutely hate that game. That was the most miserable game I feel like I've ever played in my life. Like, I would rather go into, like a four overtime overseas game and one of those where they were allowed to smoke in than to have to make that decision.

[Sid]

I saw this video over the Weekend. And it was so interesting to me because I really don't think about it like this, but the girl was saying how, like, trees talk to you and, like, their roots will, like, protect you from things. Like, maybe danger ahead. Like, that's how people. A lot of people perceive it. Like, as I'm looking through the comments and looking stuff up, and I'm like, oh, how interesting. Like, I really don't think about, like, our connectedness to trees. But it was also funny to me because I'm like, oh, I wonder what trees say. When I walk by, I, like, hear a whisper, like, lesbo. I'm like, who said that? I look over the trees, like.

[Teresa]

Like, you think a nail salon's bad? Walk into the forest.

[Sid]

It's like, dyke. I'm like, what?

[Teresa]

Who said that?

[Sid]

Who said that? Be the tree. Be the tree. I, like, walk by. I hear it. Let's roll. Let's roll. What? Huh? Maybe I'm tripping. Like, there's no way. I think that would be really cool, though, to have trees communicate with you. Let's transition.

[Teresa]

My pronouns are she, her. But, tsa, if you're listening, like, I hope you get it right next time. I'm being patient with you guys. I really am. I don't want to have to flip out in the airport because I don't want to miss my flight because I will be cutting it close, and I don't have time to deal with you guys. But please, tsa, she her baby. Not because I ever did anything, but just because I get misgendered more times than. Not coincidentally, every single time there was a random searched person, it was me. Also, when you would go through the

[Sid]

security thing where you're gender profile, not racially profile.

[Teresa]

No, yeah, I'm genderly profile also. You would think as a white man, I'd get more in society. It never worked out for me. It never once did. You know, you would go through, and you put your hands like this, and, like, my chest would light up. And then some man would walk over and be like, I need to check you. I'd be like, whoa, why you? And he was like, because you're a guy. And I'm like, no, I'm definitely not. My bad, sir. And then they would send me back through, but somehow I would always get checked. I'm like, why is it me? Every time, Like, I get it.

[Sid]

There are more masculine Brazilian, but I'm

[Teresa]

like, y' all couldn't pick them any other time. Like, I got it 100% of the time. It's kind of crazy.

[Sid]

Now you suggest that other people, when they pick.

[Teresa]

I'm, like, pointing on my chest, secretly pointing, like, to check her bag. I'm, like, dropping water bottles in their backpacks just so I don't get pulled.

[Sid]

No, that's not. What I was saying was the back.

[Teresa]

Oh, what were you think? Oh. Oh, yeah.

[Sid]

Wait, but what was your other. What was the story where you said the lady was like, oh, my gosh.

[Teresa]

I was going through. This lady was such. It was early in the morning, so nobody was in a good mood. Like, I'm gonna start off by giving her the benefit of the doubt hearing, and she put me through the TSA screening wrong. Also, keep in mind, I have pre check and clear angle. Like, I'm covered. I'm like, FBI covered, essentially. And TSA still doesn't believe it. I have, like, police clearance. So I'm going through TSA. This lady's having a day. And it's again, like, 5am, 6am she puts me through the machine wrong. She was like, yeah, I'm gonna have to wait to get a male over here to essentially, just, like, body check me, pat me down. I said, no, I need a woman to do it. She was like, why? And I was like, because I'm. I'm not a man. I prefer someone of my own gender. And she was like, well, you don't look like a woman.

[Sid]

I would have beat her.

[Teresa]

I said, you know what? You look like you need some saving grace today, so I'm gonna save your life and not go in on you right now. I'm gonna let you have this one. But I did end up writing in.

[Sid]

She would have got a verbal lashing from me, right?

[Teresa]

Oh, my God.

[Sid]

You know what I'm saying? TSA workers. To be the best TSA worker you can be, you need to have the worst attitude.

[Teresa]

You can't be too nice. They're gonna walk all over you.

[Sid]

Walk all over you. They're gonna put. They're gonna keep their shoes on. When you said, what, all shoes need to go in the bin, you said that.

[Teresa]

Say what you said earlier about how they're getting your attention, but they're so fed up with you that.

[Sid]

No, like, let's just reenact it. You be. You be aware of somebody coming in. I'm gonna be calm.

[Teresa]

Okay. I scan my ticket. Boop. I come in. Excuse me. Do I have to take off this military jacket with all these metal buckles on it?

[Sid]

Do you have to take off what,

[Teresa]

just, like, this big, bulky jacket that doesn't seem to fit through the metal detector. And it has like all these extra buckles and zippers and added metals. Do I have to take that off or no?

[Sid]

Oh, you in a playing move for everybody who didn't already hear any jackets, electronics, shoes, they all need to go in the bed. Unless you're stupid and you can't comprehend this simple shit I'm saying right now. I don't want to have to repeat this. There was a picture posted of Kelsey Mitchell, but they were congratulating Eri MacDonald. And this happens so frequently in the WNBA that it's like, who's not fact checking stuff or just like double checking? You remember when the dick stuff took place where they were like, misspelling pretty much all the Africans last names? It was like the arike Arike. Like, it was like butchered or switched on some jerseys. I was like, when making apparel, isn't it like super important to like double, triple, quadruple check, Quadruple syntuple.

[Teresa]

Like, you have one job. If your job is to accurately name the person in the picture and then spell it correctly. That's two simple things, right?

[Sid]

I'm shocked by it. Don't you have. Don't you have an interesting story?

[Teresa]

Oh, I do. So I had the privilege of getting my own WNBA trading card. Like, it was my official trading card. I was really excited and honestly, I didn't know much about it. Like, whenever people pull up with my card, I'm like, oh, they make one for everybody. That's crazy. We get one. So somebody asked me if I could sign their card. And when they handed me the card, I was like, oh, no, that's not me. And then I realized that my name was at the bottom of the card. So then I realized that, oh, that's supposed to be me. It's. It was actually Jordan Hooper, who's your friend, who's like my friend also, like, I think the only other white girl on the team that year. There was two of us. And they put Jordan's face on the front of the card, which was really exciting. I still signed every single one. I signed every single one. When this topic came up, I literally went to ebay and I purchased that card.

[Sid]

You own it.

[Teresa]

That card should be to me soon. Wait, you will see it in real time. So whoever can get their hands on the Teresa plays on his Jordan Hooper collab card.

[Sid]

Yeah, collab card is great.

[Teresa]

Love referring to collabs.

[Sid]

You do? Wait, what do you. Wait, what you do? Love referring to collabs. What was that we drove by the church of what?

[Teresa]

The Church of Christ and Scientology. I was like, is Christ collabing with Scientology? I never saw that. But I'm here for it. Like, I want to see what they have in common, to be honest. I'm here for it. We were just cruising down Nashville in our little Vespas.

[Sid]

I said, I'm, like, about to crash on my bike. I'm like, TP look

[Teresa]

for them to do a full collaboration. It was a building as well. Like, it was not only what it was, it an idea. It was an entire building where they celebrate the collaboration.

[Sid]

We're getting off track again.

[Teresa]

The moral story is not all white people and not all black people look the same. Me and Jordan aren't the same person. Kelsey Mitchell and Erin McDonald also aren't the same person.

[Sid]

Yeah. So I take it back. I actually don't fucking understand. So get it right. Like, do your job and make sure you put the right people on there. I made a video and I'm like, well, imagine being a ref. Like, yeah, you make a bad call, but like, you can't get them all right. Actually, like, we should know that just like there are mistakes in the game, there's going to be mistakes from a ref. But like, the players, we're disrespectful. When you think about it, like, obviously, like, it's a high stress environment. People are competing to win games, like championships on the line, jobs on the line, all of that. It is high intensity. But the way people flip to being such assholes is like, that's still a person.

[Teresa]

For example, like, there's, there's 10 people on the court. There's like maybe four people around the ball. The referee's here. There's a lot of blockage going on. It goes off of like a fingernail. You call it the wrong way, there's a reaction. How do you not see that? Okay, devil's advocate here. There was multiple bodies involved. Maybe there was blockage.

[Sid]

Yeah.

[Teresa]

Of the vision, the trajectory of the

[Sid]

ball, it wasn't clear to see. It could have gone off either hand and bounced in that direction. That's just physics. So, like, they didn't get it right.

[Teresa]

Maybe you had to blink. Natural. Completely natural.

[Sid]

But we're frying them for it. So I, I, my video was essentially like, have some compassion.

[Teresa]

Yeah.

[Sid]

For them a little bit.

[Teresa]

Correct.

[Sid]

People were like, confused in the comments. Like, why the would you be.

[Teresa]

Also, let's make this in, like, real life terms as well, please. If I'm a secretary, I have a Little typo.

[Sid]

Yeah.

[Teresa]

I don't have thousands of fans being like, you misspelled restaurant.

[Sid]

My bad.

[Teresa]

I can just go back and fix that. I don't have people commenting on watching it publicly, but refs all their.

[Sid]

And play public embarrassment all the time.

[Teresa]

Public embarrassment is hard. You are publicly held accountable at all times. And also no one's cheering for you. No, like people are cheering for when they do it.

[Sid]

It's sarcastically, right? Oh, good job. You finally got one. Thank you, Isaac.

[Teresa]

But one person.

[Sid]

That's a real ref's name. But I like Isaac.

[Teresa]

I do like Isaac. Sorry, Isaac that. You were our example.

[Sid]

Sorry. It was the first name that came to mind, bro. What if you show up to the game and listeners watchers, y' all put yourself in an athlete's pos. Like you're a professional athlete. Alright. Or you're just an athlete in any setting. But. But you go into the locker room. Okay. All right. You're getting dressed for the game. Lockers are right by one another. So like, you know, you have a view of everything. Especially if someone right by you. So you're getting undressed, changing into your. Your uniform for like pregame and everything. And the person next to you, they drop their draws and there's massive skid mark. What the fuck? They're in their underwear. Not only a big skid mark, but

[Teresa]

there is still a little actual like Hershey's Kiss.

[Sid]

So, like, you see this? What are you. What are you doing? I'm gonna give you a couple. There are a couple, like, different things to see what changes your mind. But what are you doing? First of all?

[Teresa]

What the hell?

[Sid]

Wait, Let me paint a different picture as well. Let me. Or let me make this a little more vivid.

[Teresa]

This is how I would handle it. I would make this extra uncomfortable. I would peep it. I'd be like, oh. Literally, I would then be like out loud, hey, Sid, can you meet me in the big stall in the bathroom? So now the whole team's aware that we, me and you are about to meet randomly. Like we've never met into the big stall before together ever before in our life. There could be anything going on. People are now up to something that I did, you know. But I'm putting this on the table in hopes that they ask me questions, right? I'm gonna bring you in the back. We're gonna meet in the big stall. I'm then gonna latch the door shut. So we're locked in now the big stall. I'm gonna say, sid, are you good? What Is going on in your pants? Did you eat something? Are you nervous? What's going on? I'm then gonna ask you to dispose of that completely. I don't care if it's your favorite pair of draws. They're gone. Okay, that's how I'd handle. I would then grab you your game shorts. I'd bring it in the bathroom so you had to walk out looking like you did something and that, you know, there was an issue, but it was solved in hopes that people would be paying attention to when we walked out to think anything that they could make up what just happened.

[Sid]

I love WNBA birthdays because it means a few lesbos are gonna slap my butt.

[Teresa]

That's so weird, Sid. That's so weird.

[Sid]

And honestly, it doesn't even matter. Lesbian or not, I'm getting my butt hit several times on my birthday, and so I savored in that moment. Everybody else runs through to not get hurt.

[Teresa]

I was like, you were absorbing each and every one. And the fact that people were, like, trying to come with some heat too, and, like, make you feel uncomfortable, but the fact that you didn't made intern them, like, stop and stare at you.

[Sid]

They hated it.

[Teresa]

Everybody's individual reaction was so funny.

[Sid]

Yeah.

[Teresa]

In this video. The person who enjoyed this video the most is not even filmed in it.

[Sid]

You can only hear Becky laughing from the side.

[Teresa]

Becky is having so much fun at his birthday party, which was, again, the battle wheel. Becky is weak. In the background of this video, you

[Sid]

have Kelsey, who gets on the side so she can use her right hand, not her shooting hand. She was like, I'm not gonna hit you with my shooting hand. Very Kelsey. So Plum hits me. She kind of moves on. Then you got bae, who was, like, trying to get to her shot.

[Teresa]

I was trying to. Cindy leaned over early before the paddle wheel started to remove Kelsey from the situation or remove her to the other side because we were imbalanced from side to side. So you tried to move Kelsey. They thought you were starting your run. She went to go slap you, and then she had to throw back.

[Sid]

But she was annoyed because she was ready to go shoot free throws.

[Teresa]

We were wasting her time getting up extra shots with this.

[Sid]

So she hits me, takes off. Then on this side, what?

[Teresa]

Derica, you got Derek and Shep D. Erica falls down.

[Sid]

She's weak.

[Teresa]

Dericka missed the best part.

[Sid]

She did miss the best part. We go de Erica on this side. We had Jackie. She hits really no emotion. Shocker.

[Teresa]

Hit stairs. Asia's absent this day.

[Sid]

Scared. Yeah. Then you Have. Yeah. It was absent. Then you got Kia on this side, who is also weak, because at this point, Kia has hung out with us as the.

[Teresa]

There was a certain level that Kia was expecting, and I think you exceeded. Yeah.

[Sid]

So Kia's weak. And then we go to this side. And who else was by Chelsea? And we saw Chelsea as I was getting closer. She went from an open hand to curling her fist up to curling her hand up in a fist. She hits me as I'm going by with an open. An open fist on my right.

[Teresa]

A closed fist.

[Sid]

A closed fist on my right butt cheek. It was the craziest thing.

[Teresa]

Like, she didn't want to be touched by your.

[Sid]

It was gross. Shep also hit me very lightly and was confused. KB slapped me and stung my left butt cheek. Then you were last. I got to you, and there was a moment there. I lifted my butt. You went. You went to hit it Good. Go do it. You went to wax. I went like that. You went to hit.

[Teresa]

I was like, I need my real wag. And then I was going to go again.

[Sid]

Blocked it again. Then you were coming again.

[Teresa]

And I do a full.

[Sid]

I let you hit it. I say, oh,

[Teresa]

you immediately. I have T. Rex arms. Like, I don't know what happened to me in that moment, but it was a lot. I immediately hit T. Rex arms. You turn around and you say, coaches, staff, like, you needed more slabs. That wasn't enough. And you walk through. This whole video should have taken. It takes people less than two seconds. I would say, like, a slow person might take three seconds to get through the tunnel.

[Sid]

Yeah, it took me 15.

[Teresa]

It took you over a minute.

[Sid]

Oh, all right.

[Teresa]

Whatever it is. Now our first annual unsupervised unnecessary awards. You don't actually get a physical something for it, but more like a thumbs up.

[Sid]

We thought about you, so you're welcome,

[Teresa]

Izzy.

[Sid]

So congrats, Izzy.

[Teresa]

Wow.

[Sid]

We do hope you now work for Mary Kay.

[Teresa]

We do hope that you get that pink Cadillac. Not from us. We aren't going to provide it. We want to give a very special award.

[Sid]

Our best potential TSA worker.

[Teresa]

So.

[Sid]

Which you can take that how you want to take it,

[Teresa]

but we'll explain ourselves.

[Sid]

Kia Copper. Congrats, K. You won us thinking that you're the best potential TSA worker because you would have the absolute worst attitude. Oh, here's my. Here's my favorite one.

[Teresa]

Oh, these are really exciting awards.

[Sid]

This one is honestly just no big story leading up to it. It's just Coach Most likely to hit a Ref award. We wanted to show no rhyme or reason for this. We just thought, yeah, superlatives for coaches should happen too because a lot of times people just do players. But like let's get the coaches involved. We're going to name a few.

[Teresa]

We're going to have an all WNBA first team.

[Sid]

Yeah. Start with the last one though.

[Teresa]

So we have a three way tie we feel like. And we're gonna give each individual coach its own. Their own platform here. So first up we have Cheryl Reed.

[Sid]

Congrats, Cheryl.

[Teresa]

Really awesome job. Becky Hammond, everyone. Sometimes when Becky gets quiet is when I get scared. Becky, she gets real excited in your face. Real quiet and real fiery. And then all of a sudden there's like nothing. You're like, is this the quiet before the storm?

[Sid]

The call me from the storm? Absolutely. It's like a parent coach is

[Teresa]

Tyler Marsh. Wow. Really awesome.

[Sid]

You deserve it because you literally almost

[Teresa]

closest to actually like within physical range. The closest to actually succeeding in this.

[Sid]

Yeah. He was like, he was like in a far lunge position too.

[Teresa]

Like which is also crazy because Tyler's one of the kindest human beings in the world.

[Sid]

Very soft spoken.

[Teresa]

So wow. Congrats to all of our winners today. Round of applause. We actually have been joining us. Come on in, y'.

[Sid]

All.

[Teresa]

Just kidding. That was such a hard pumping. So American Eagle came out with an ad that was Sydney Sweeney was starring in and she kept referring to jeans, Jeans, jeans. And she has on jeans. But it's very evident that there was underlying tones of genetics. Jeans.

[Sid]

Yeah.

[Teresa]

And I don't know if it was lazy, ignorant or intentional on American Eagles part.

[Sid]

Yeah.

[Teresa]

But whatever it was, it was a huge. It was a huge mess up from their company. And it's embarrassing.

[Sid]

But I think it wasn't a messed up because I think it was intentional. You don't accidentally put something like that out. It's riddled with eugenics. Like that's just what it is. There's no other way to put it. Because whenever you're being cheeky or you're having a message in an ad like this for a pun to be effective or for something to have a double meaning, you can't talk about it because genes are passed down from parents to offspring. Okay. Genes aren't literally passed down unless we're

[Teresa]

living in the universe.

[Sid]

Sisterhood of the traveling Pants. Like we're. We're just talking about jeans. G E. We're talking about.

[Teresa]

Yeah.

[Sid]

Now if we're talking about denim, what, what does that mean? Did you have jeans passed out? Denim jeans. Passed down in your family.

[Teresa]

No, not me.

[Sid]

Me neither.

[Teresa]

I personally didn't.

[Sid]

Okay, let's. We'll ask the babysitters maybe to see.

[Teresa]

Yeah. Babysitters. Have you ever had jeans passed down? Like, is that a family heirloom? That's, like, extremely, extremely important to you. Yes or no comment below. But also to this point, like, in today's climate, when DEI specifically, like, diversity.

[Sid]

Yeah.

[Teresa]

Is under attack. This was. This was so embarrassing. Like, what goes on in my head is like, what's happening in these rooms? Like, is it just a bunch of white people being like, oh, great idea. Oh, great idea, Kurt. Oh, great idea, Samantha. Oh, great idea, Jane. I just tried to think of some of like, the craziest names I could think of, but I'm like, are they just enabling each other to think this is a good idea? Not thinking, like, hey, maybe we need to have different faces in this room, different identities in this room that can say, red flag. Red flag. This is a bad idea. Unless you wanted it that way. Which brings us to our first point. Intentional. Intentionality.

[Sid]

Yeah. So super disappointing, but, like, super not surprising because, like, we're not shopping there anymore. We're for sure, like, American Eagle is, like, not gonna be passed down from my. My family to, like, our kids. And that's for certain. Like, shut the hell up. Talking like that. I hate when people talk like that anyways. I hate when women talk like that. That. Yeah.

[Teresa]

Cuz I'm like, do you actually talk like that?

[Sid]

No, it's for men. Anything that's specifically for men. I don't like it. Except for some of the clothes that I wear.

[Teresa]

Yeah. I was about to say, yeah. Like, this hat probably wasn't made with women in mind. Big fan. Also, my jeans that I'm currently wearing.

[Sid]

Yeah.

[Teresa]

Aren't American Eagle, and they weren't passed down for generations. Anyway.

[Sid]

You're sick.

[Teresa]

Moving. Moving on from that loser.

[Sid]

All right, even though you're not black, you have a non white middle name.

[Teresa]

No, because I was about to say, like, yeah, we do it, but not complimentary. Like, you know that you're in trouble when your full government's use. Teresa Monique plays us.

[Sid]

Oh, yeah. Did people even know that was your full. That was your full name?

[Teresa]

No. And everyone probably thinks I'm a liar

[Sid]

when you told me that was your lie.

[Teresa]

I'm not a liar.

[Sid]

I was like. I was thinking. I'm like, it really would have blown me if you had the apostrophe after the O. Like Monique.

[Teresa]

Oh, Monique. Like Monique.

[Sid]

Like Monique. That Would have really gotten me. But this. Still, to this day, like, it's.

[Teresa]

Honestly, I feel like it's pretty fitting. I will say that I've had a few people that found out my middle name, and I've had nicknames based off of my middle name. I mean, there is government proof that it is my middle name. We can also bring.

[Sid]

Yeah. Cover everything.

[Teresa]

My mother on air.

[Sid]

You have your id by license. By you.

[Teresa]

No. I can go get it.

[Sid]

No.

[Teresa]

Do I need to go get it right now? No. Yeah. So we only. White people only get their middle names used if you're in, like, severe trouble. It's not like, okay, yeah, we do this.

[Sid]

Hey, Theresa.

[Teresa]

Monique.

[Sid]

I see what you're doing there.

[Teresa]

It's not that it's like, Teresa, Monique.

[Sid]

Ah, that's so funny.

[Teresa]

What did I do this time? But, yeah, I'm just picturing a young

[Sid]

white girl running in, answering it.

[Teresa]

Theresa Monkey.

[Sid]

Yeah, that's just.

[Teresa]

That young white girl was me.

[Sid]

Right? Your parents. Funny as hell.

[Teresa]

Anyway, it's French.

[Sid]

Oh. So for the people. Another one has a picture behind her that's cut off right at the er. So she's talking about not being. Not being racist.

[Teresa]

Wait, the letter right above ER is

[Sid]

a G.

[Teresa]

So you're good, though. G, E, R. I'm good. I have no hate in my heart.

[Sid]

Black and white photo at that.

[Teresa]

At least towards black people. Like, I can name some groups of people that get on my freaking nerves. I'm just like, oh, my gosh, how are you allowed on this planet? But it's not black people. I could tell you that much.

[Sid]

I'll stop trying to get you canceled for the rest of the episode.

[Teresa]

No, you can. It's super fun and so fun. I love. I love waking up thinking, oh, my. Canceled today.

[Sid]

Okay, so, listeners, if you're listening and you can't see, TP still has that same picture up, and it's still the G, E, R at the end. I. I haven't gotten. I haven't had to get on you for anything racist in the past couple episodes.

[Teresa]

I'm sorry. I want to apologize to your parents. It's just a big misunderstanding. If you. Again, to my parents. Y' all didn't raise me to be this person.

[Sid]

It can't keep being a misunderstanding. Tp this is the.

[Teresa]

No, no, no, no. White people love to just say it was a big misunderstanding. I'm like, no, you did it. You just got to say, I messed up big time. Anyway, I didn't. Once you come over to my house, you'll see that it's. It's not what it looks like. But until then, we can clean it up.

[Sid]

Okay, ready?

[Teresa]

Three, two. What?

[Sid]

Three, two. After one. No, after one. Not on one.

[Teresa]

After, after one. After one. So three, two, one and then go.

[Sid]

Okay, okay.

[Teresa]

Like how you used to play rock paper scissors, man.

[Sid]

Just do it. Three.

[Teresa]

Okay, man.

[Sid]

Three. What? Three, dude.

[Teresa]

Two.

[Sid]

One.

[Teresa]

One.

[Sid]

No. No way.

[Teresa]

Wait, Sid.

[Sid]

I don't know what I'm looking at because. Did you take that on vacation?

[Teresa]

Yes. I'm so committed to this bit that I brought this on vacation. Also hilarious. My room naturally had this picture that matches frames with me, so I'm matching frames with my in room picture. Wait, Sid.

[Sid]

Oh my gosh, bro.

[Teresa]

You're a little blurry.

[Sid]

I'm a little blurry. Can you see me?

[Teresa]

So you have a mustache. You have a dog?

[Sid]

Cole, sit your five dollar ass down before I make change. Cole, sit your five dollar ass down before I make change. You know, do you know what it is?

[Teresa]

No.

[Sid]

You don't know who I am?

[Teresa]

No, but it's probably just a poor representation.

[Sid]

So because of this extreme cultural difference between us, I am gonna have to quit.

[Teresa]

Well, it was fun while it did last.

[Sid]

No, no. For sure, man. I'm Martin from the episode where they stole his. He thought somebody stole his CD player.

[Teresa]

I'm straight from the Louvre, baby. Straight from the Louvre. Mona Lisa is Mona Lisa.

[Sid]

But so you. You have a pillow? Is it a pillow? It's creepy tv. It kind of looks like you're going like you're in the birth canal. Like you're about to be reborn as Mona Lisa. Yeah, keep coming through. That would be so scary to see a baby come out like that.

[Teresa]

I'm talking about in it. I'm wearing fully thrifted items outside of my undergarments for everyone. That was thinking that weirdos don't think about that. This shirt, I don't know if you can see it, but it's straight out of Boy Meets World. I'm pretty sure Corey had this on at some point. I got this, my full outfit for under $14. But when I got it, there was a. A fresh tag on it from the store that it was purchased from, which was Stein Mart. Raise your hand if you remember. Stein Mart. So, yeah, Stein Mart. Thank you for this. Sponsor us. So, which brings me back to my. Okay, so Joy. Goodness gracious, Joy works at the thrift shop. And there's a rule at the thrift shop that if something does not have the tag on it that apparently it's store policy. You have to come back the next day, okay? They're acting like it's their clothes. These were all donated items to the thrift shop, which is why they came about them in the first place. But whatever. I found this badass shirt, okay? I'm have to wear it a different day. And when I got the shirt, was so happy. I get to the checkout counter, they're like, hey, this is cash only. And I'm like, you know what? I'm in such a good mood that that's not even a problem right now because I got a little cash on me. I never have cash on me, so don't rob me because I don't have anything on my person. Went to the cash the register. Joy is giving me the hardest time about this shirt. And she was like, yeah, no, we can't sell this to you because there's no tag on it. Everything has to have a tag on it. If you're checking out and the, the, the ticketers or the pricers just left, they get off at 3. It was 3:04. Literally it was 304. I'm looking around like, is there any that had like a good conversation, were lingering around that could help price out this really awesome piece?

[Sid]

Yeah.

[Teresa]

She was like, no, they're all gone. And I'm like, that's weird. This is such a healthy work environment. I wouldn't see why people would want to linger around, stay, talk little with their friends. Joy was like, if you come back Tomorrow morning at 9am the shirt will be here. And I'm like looking at Joy. I'm like, you, Joy, you see that I want this shirt so bad. I'm like, joy, do you want the shirt? Is there a second agenda here? I'm not trusting the situation now because I'm like, I can see that the shirt was so cool. Just tell me the shirt. I'm looking at Amy. Amy's the cashier. Amy was beyond stressed. And I'm having like a passive aggressive conversation. Like it wasn't heated by any means, but I was like, hey, Amy, what if I slip you a 20? And I like winked at Amy. And she said, there's cameras. As she said there's cameras. She looks right above her head. There's a camera like literally right here. It's a casualty place. So there's cameras everywhere. Amy wasn't having it. I couldn't pay Amy under the table, which, fine, maybe I tried to bribe her a little bit. I didn't get the shirt. I said, joy, what time do you guys open in the morning? She said 9am I said, bet, Joy, see you tomorrow morning. So I Woke up at 7:30. I woke up, I'm in a great mood. I'm like, I'm gonna get a coffee. I'm gonna make a day out of this. I go the thrift shop. I'm there at like 8:43. I'm like 17 minutes early. I'm sitting in the car.

[Sid]

If you say like, usually you give a time, that's like an estimate. It sounds like no.

[Teresa]

The last time I looked at my car, like when I parked, I looked up and I saw the clock, it said 8:43. So that was an exact. Sorry to be confusing. I'm looking at the line to get into. It's piling up. There's at least four people in line waiting. So in my head I'm like, if one of these four gets the shirt before I do, like, me and Joy are going to have some real issues here.

[Sid]

Joy calls somebody

[Teresa]

also. I don't know if Joy is gonna be working this day. So I'm like, okay, Joy. I'm like, I'm hoping to see Joy, cuz I'm like, I got beef with Joy a little bit.

[Sid]

Yeah.

[Teresa]

So then I see more people piling up at the door and I'm like, I need to get out. Like this is gonna be like a Jordan drop. Like, I need to get in there. So I'm like the fifth or sixth person in line at this point. And I'm eight minutes early. I'm waiting. I pull out my phone. I'm playing my little phone game, killing time, thinking about the shirt. I'm like, I can't wait to lay my hands on that shirt again. And guess who opens up the door? It's Joy.

[Sid]

Joy.

[Teresa]

So I'm like, I make it seem like to everybody else that was in line waiting for this drop that, like, I've been here before. And me and Joy are like very familiar with one another. I said, hey, Joy, remember me from yesterday? Where can I get that shirt, girl? She was like, oh yeah, go look on the racks. I scour the racks. Nothing's on the racks. I'm like, okay. I go find Joy in the front of the store. I'm like, hey, girl, you remember that shirt that you promised me that was going to be your day? So now I'm thinking like, did Joy take the shirt?

[Teresa]

Joy's like, oh, I'm gonna go check in the back. She comes back out. She's like, oh, it hasn't been priced yet. I was like, then what are the pricers doing?

[Sid]

Right? Because I thought I was supposed to come back this morning. First thing in the morning, you.

[Teresa]

Y' all swore to me it would be available. So I waited 15 to 20 minutes. Joy comes out with the shirt on the hanger, priced $7.99, which was a steal because, you know, I looked that up on ebay. It was a $50 shirt on eBay. And I said, thank you so much, Joy. I took my cash. I went to the cashier. I also found another item. I bought trivia from the 1980s, which a lot of the facts aren't true anymore. But it's not about that. It's about the nostalgia and the color of the box. That's why I bought.

[Sid]

It was cute.

[Teresa]

If your name's, like, Joy, like, bring a little bit of that. Like, my name's Teresa. I'm bringing a little bit of Teresa every day.

[Sid]

What does that mean?

[Teresa]

It's synonymous with Joy. So I need. If you. If your namesake is Joy, bring that.

[Sid]

Yeah.

[Teresa]

If your name is Blessing, be a blessing.

[Sid]

Well, maybe they felt that pressure, though, since birth to be that thing. And maybe that's not inside of them, so it's overwhelming. Maybe Joy decided I'm about to start acting how I want to act, how I truly am, and I'm not joyful, so I won't be. I know we've spoken before about how we do this. Like, we give life to things, to inanimate objects when it's not necessary. Like, I'll stub my toe and, like, curse at the sofa. Like. And then I'm like, I'm sorry it wasn't you. Like, I need to slow down. I've been moving too fast. It's just I got a lot of stuff going on. I'm. I'm. I'm running late, which is also a problem of my own. I should have gotten up earlier to get ready to eat breakfast to get there. Like, that's on me. That's not. It's not you. And then the Couch, like, starts crying, and I start crying, and I'm like, we kiss. Imagine finding out I have a couch as a girlfriend.

[Teresa]

I walk in and you're, like, making out with the couch.

[Sid]

I'm like, whoa, but my toe is bleeding. You're like, Like, what?

[Teresa]

In my head, the things that would be going through my head would be actually crazy.

[Sid]

Name one.

[Teresa]

Be like, I think we should retire the pod. Now.

[Sid]

I had the pleasure of being on cranberry duty at our Come to our House season of giving dinner that Aaron Neesmith, one of the Pacers players, puts on annually, I believe. And let me just tell you, I was phenomenal. It's nothing to brag about, but also,

[Teresa]

it is seems like a really serious job, the cranberry.

[Sid]

You're damn right it is. But we were serving food to people in the community, and, you know, these were people who were in need. I don't know everyone's situation. I think some were coming from shelters maybe. Maybe most were coming from shelters. But it was really just. It just felt good to be out there giving back. Like, I told myself that I wanted to be doing more of that anyways, like, even when I go home to Houston and stuff. So it was a good start for that. But I was on cranberry sauce duty, and it was so funny. They posted a video of, like, the. They just made, like, a short video, like a compilation. But. But I was wearing people out. Like, I was making sure I got rid of my plate of cranberry sauce. Actually, there were two plates, but I was like, I'm getting rid of this by the end. So a lady even commented. She was like, that is the most cranberry sauce I've seen taken off, like, taken off of that plate since, like, 1974. Oh, really? I was like, no, TP. I made that data. But I'm just saying it's been a really long time. And I was so committed because cranberry sauce is, like, the best part of the meal, damn near, or not the best, but it definitely. It sets some stuff off. And it's like, I like it. I like for it to be cold. So, like, the rest of my food is hot. And then I got that little mix when I have dressing and cranberry sauce, or even if I want to get some with my turkey. So I'm like, telling people, I'm like, take this. And they're like, oh, not a fan. Some people weren't even looking at me. I said, you're not even going to look. They didn't put that in the video, people were like, I just don't want. I don't want it. I don't want it. I said, all right, you're gonna regret it, but enjoy your meal. Like, oh. Like, I saw a video that was like, this woman was saying, I don't care what anybody says. I think all men have twerked at some point. Whether it's alone with your guy friends, joking around. Y' all all have done it. Stop acting like you did it. You twerked a little. You did, and it's okay. That doesn't make you gay. You know, what makes you gay is liking the same sex. Let's get that clear. Let's get that down to what color you let your kids wear, what toys you let them play with. I grew up watching tons of straight people on tv. Lo and behold, I was a lesbian.

[Teresa]

It did tons of straight books, tons of straight movies.

[Sid]

It did not sway me to become straight because that wasn't in the car. So let's start understanding definitions of things and applying them to our lives into situations. Let's start critically thinking and analyzing things.

[Teresa]

Okay. We're bringing back shame and critical thinking. Like, we just need to do better. No time like this. The president to bring up a seasonal. A seasonal category we like to call stirring the pot. We give some family issues, some of them. Most of them are made up, actually, and we diagnose the situation. We say who is wrong and what we would do about it this holiday season.

[Sid]

So I'm going to give you the uncle who drinks too much and falls asleep mid sentence.

[Teresa]

Oh, man. So I'm like, if I'm having a conversation with you, let me be him.

[Sid]

Let me be him, and you'll be you.

[Teresa]

All right, all right. What up on. How we doing? Haven't seen you since last Thanksgiving. How you been, man? It's great to see you.

[Sid]

I've been good. Teresa. How you been?

[Teresa]

What you been up to? What's new? What's new, huh?

[Sid]

Your aunt left me. I don't know. We're separated right now.

[Teresa]

Okay, so you're on the prowl. Single. My man's single.

[Sid]

Single, yeah.

[Teresa]

Oh, any. What else is. What else is new? Any good news happening in your life? Oh, she.

[Sid]

Damn. She.

[Teresa]

Oh, you're talking about the woman that left you.

[Sid]

She.

[Teresa]

Y', all.

[Sid]

That's crazy. It was just a lot of irreconcilable differences. I did some things I regret. She also. She slept with our neighbor too, though, and so I didn't think that it was.

[Teresa]

Oh, jeez. Did you have to move out? Sleeping with the neighbor seems intense. Like, did you move. Did you give her the. Yo, uncle, I'm going to need you to wake up for this. I got questions. Yeah. So did you have to move out? Or, like, what's the deal with the neighbor? Like, are y' all still good?

[Sid]

Like, that's. I came here today. I was hoping I could stay with you for a little bit.

[Teresa]

Oh, you know, the guest. The guest room is looking kind of. Ah. It's got so much stuff in it,

[Sid]

and I really need this right now.

[Teresa]

Oh, yeah. Whoa.

[Sid]

I'm back drinking.

[Teresa]

Oh.

[Sid]

Oh.

[Teresa]

So this is the point in the conversation where I just, like, slip away.

[Sid]

That's good. I would have used one of those moments.

[Teresa]

Yeah, absolutely. You just have to get out of there. When he nodded off again, that's where I would dart out of that room.

[Sid]

Him trying to stay with you.

[Teresa]

He would have to. I'm like, whoa, the neighbor is kind of crazy. Okay, Sid, your situation is the grandma who keeps asking you if you're still working on that little job.

[Sid]

Okay. You started it.

[Teresa]

Okay. Oh, secret.

[Sid]

Hey. Nah.

[Teresa]

So good to see you, baby.

[Sid]

How we doing? I'm good. You looking good.

[Teresa]

How's everything?

[Sid]

You still working on that little job you've been working on for? Oh. Oh, my God. It's called the wnba, grandma. Stop calling it a little job.

[Teresa]

Oh, my God.

[Sid]

Yeah. Women can play basketball now.

[Teresa]

They do. Cuz back when I was, we couldn't even vote.

[Sid]

I know.

[Teresa]

We couldn't even drive. You couldn't even think about.

[Sid]

I know. But we're doing all of that now.

[Teresa]

Oh, bless you, baby.

[Sid]

We're wearing pants.

[Teresa]

Whoa.

[Sid]

I know.

[Teresa]

Wow. Cover up those legs. Cover up those legs. All those young men are gonna come after you.

[Sid]

My grandma always used to want me to wear, like, more barrettes in my hair. And she'd be like, stop all that whistling. Little girls don't whistle. I'm like, nana. Barrettes and whistling are the least of yalls concerns. When you find out what I got going. Going on.

[Teresa]

We got a DM asking if you guys pulled a Freaky Friday for one day, what's the first thing that y' all would do? This is actually hilarious.

[Sid]

Probably. I can't even get away with a lot with you, cuz you're not a regular white woman. In America. You get mistaken for.

[Teresa]

Let's pretend. Let's pretend. Let's just make it interesting. Singing. Let's pretend I was a regular white woman. I want to be Karen in the sense like You're Karen for a day. Let's hear it.

[Sid]

But I'mma switch it up. I'm going to be a Karen to other white women. They're going to be sh. Like, what is going on?

[Teresa]

You're going to be an undercover Karen. Like, you look like a kid.

[Sid]

Yeah. No, but truthfully, I would probably just drive your car. I would drive Sally.

[Teresa]

Oh, okay.

[Sid]

I would just go spend the day in New Orleans in your car. For real.

[Teresa]

Driving Sally around. That's a good one.

[Sid]

Does it top drop? Is that a retractable roof?

[Teresa]

She's a. She's a hard top.

[Sid]

Oh, okay.

[Teresa]

But on your day, you cut the top off and give it back to me.

[Sid]

Yeah. You gonna come back and it's a soft.

[Teresa]

I'm be like, wait, what? I have a convertible. Yeah, you do now you do. You did it. Actually, my dad was like, yeah, you're acting really weird. Yesterday, you just got Sally's top cut off yet. And

[Sid]

what would you do, man? I.

[Teresa]

I don't. I have a lot of things that I would do. I feel like, okay, I would just, like, see what it feels like to, like, jump. I would, like, just try to jump. I would just stand in place and just, like, see if I have some spring. Be like, dang, this is what y' all working with. This is crazy, because I'm fighting to slide a piece of paper underneath my. It's more than me. My vertical was the second highest in college. On my team, I had the second highest vertical. The only other person behind me was also white. So we were just like, damn.

[Sid]

So you had the second lowest. You were second.

[Teresa]

That's what I meant.

[Sid]

Okay. Okay.

[Teresa]

That was second to last. Sorry. Yeah. That was very misleading. I was not anywhere near the top of that. So I would just see, like. I would just do, like, a standing vert jump.

[Sid]

Like, okay, okay.

[Teresa]

And it would catch me off guard, too, because I wouldn't be used to being that high off the ground. Whatever vertical yours is, I know it's more than mine.

[Sid]

Yeah.

[Teresa]

And then the second thing that I would do is I would sing all of my favorite rap songs word for word. I would just say them all, which. All my favorite rap songs are like, just my favorite songs. Generally. I have. I have a wide variety of music, but I do tend to lean towards, like, rap and hip hop, specifically Southern rap. So if I could.

[Sid]

Not using your wish to say. Not even a wish, but that's what you're using for the day.

[Teresa]

But I would probably feel uncomfortable. I'd buy it First I'd be like, you'd be, like, looking around still.

[Sid]

But it's like, you're mean.

[Teresa]

I don't think I would tell. I don't think I would go in public and do it. I would just do it in, like, the comfort of my own home, knowing that, like, I'm not the type of white person that raps it in songs. Like, I never say it. It's not for us. And I truly do believe that, like, no one. If you are white, definitely don't say it. There's no cool way to go about it. It's not for us. Don't use it. I don't care how much you love the song. I don't care how cool you are with black people. I don't care. Whatever you think. It's not for black people.

[Sid]

Stop giving passes. I can't stand them. Type of black people. Yeah, stop giving people passes to say it. You're pissing me off.

[Teresa]

I've gotten so many passes, and I'm like, I don't. I don't.

[Sid]

I don't. You also don't know.

[Teresa]

I'd like to fulfill my past with other things, too. Like, they're like, all right, you can say it. And they're, like, videotaping me, but, yeah.

[Sid]

Okay, so those are your two. You have more. Because you seem like you've been waiting on this question. Did you send this question?

[Teresa]

August 6th is obviously your birthday. So in honor of that, we wanted the. The people that you love the most to send an encouraging word to you as you go on into your next year of life. Oh, I will start.

[Sid]

Oh, scruffle. You look like Thomas Jefferson right now. Anyways,

[Teresa]

Thomas Jefferson's disgusting. You couldn't give me anybody better than that.

[Sid]

Yeah, he is a piece. He was a piece of. My bad.

[Teresa]

Like you.

[Sid]

It was just the hair. You just look like people from that time. My bad, girl. Okay, sorry. Genes are passed down from teens are passed down from generation to generation. Parents. Anywho, they did seven, so personality, hair, eyes. That was another thing. They talked about the eyes. Never mind. Go.

[Teresa]

Yeah, no, that part made me feel uncomfortable because I. I'm like, do denim jeans have a eye? Contacts, color, context.

[Sid]

Do denim jeans have eye color? I'm like, what is this going on about?

[Teresa]

No. Anyway, go ahead. So we're gonna start this tradition starting now, because your birthday is on August 6th. And.

[Sid]

Big Leo. Big Leo. Yeah.

[Teresa]

Oh, my God.

[Sid]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Teresa]

So, Sid, I wrote you a poem.

[Sid]

Oh, God.

[Teresa]

I haven't wrote a poem since, like, you Were forced to do poems, like in like, sixth grade poems and haikus and stuff. Yeah, I did one of those for you. Also not necessarily a haiku mine, just like a regular one. I don't know what the name or, like, the style is. Go shoot me down for like, not knowing. But I just don't. It's just pros.

[Sid]

Okay, go ahead.

[Teresa]

Also, I'm dyslexic, so it's always been like a real fear of mine to like, read out loud. But I know you won't make fun of me, right?

[Sid]

No, I'm just kidding.

[Teresa]

Okay, so the title of your birthday poem is called Happy Birthday Sid.

[Sid]

Okay, how little are the words? How long is this?

[Teresa]

It's little. It's long. So please don't interrupt. Save all questions and comments until the end. We know you're good for an outburst, but just don't. Okay? So again, the title of the poem is happy birthday Sid36. What a year. We appreciate you far and near. We have already done so much together. A friendship that could survive any weather. We've got a show that's pure gold, a must, a podcast built on laughs and trust. Your humor is good, your heart is great. I still remember our first date showing off our our knowledge at trivia. And three years later, I can't get rid of you.

[Sid]

I was like, how's she been around?

[Teresa]

Yeah, period bars, baby. We've camped like pros without a map. Ran a kids camp without a nap. We've tried stand up your punchlines hit then became rappers and didn't quit laughing, crying, just being us, even when the jokes are a little sus. Talking about life in only a way that we can. I wish people would stop referring to me as a man. Sorry, I had to put that line in. I couldn't think of anything else. You light up the mic and seal every scene. Your jokes are so sharp and your heart so keen. People may think that you're all jokes, but what really matters most is the joy that you bring to lives, to your family, friends, to me and Marty, sister wives. You've been a steady, brilliant, hilarious star. Regardless of your surroundings, you stay true to who you are. You walk in a room and everything shifts. Your energy gives. Your presence uplifts. You make strangers feel like they've always belonged. Like their voices matter and they've been seen all along. You laugh loud, you love hard, and listen deep. You're the kind of soul people want to keep. You're not just my best friend, but you're my chosen fam. My copilot, my kindred spirit, my hype wool man. Knowing you is one of my greatest joys. Even though people say we sound like boys, they do. So here's to you. To your light and to your fire. To the way you inspire and lift others higher. Happy birthday, Sid. A little old girl. You make joy spin and comedy twirl. You're one of one and always will be. Thank you for being annoying with me. I love you, dog. And with that being said, we have a video. Kayla, roll the tapes.

[Sid]

What? Happy birthday, dear aunt. I thought it was just about to be yours. So to do, do all those like. I don't like crying on camera.

[Teresa]

Yeah, me neither.

[Sid]

Posting it.

[Teresa]

First of all, so many questions here. So many questions here.

[Sid]

And I want to get to the the answers though. Golden State Valkyries are playing at Atlanta Dream and a nightmare of a situation occurs. Okay, this is, well, I guess nightmare, depending on who you are. It is a dream for some.

[Teresa]

It's an Atlanta Dream for sure. For some.

[Sid]

The mean green, I want to just call him the mean green. Mean green was catapulted onto the court from the stands during live action. The score is like 75. 75 is like 51. It's tied. This is a crucial point in the game. Somebody said, here's my moment, my time to shine, baby.

[Teresa]

They held the mean green on their person because I think there's a bag policy. So it had to be on their person throughout the whole game. Little did they know it was going to be a nail biter to the end. And then the moment was found. In real game time. We didn't wait for game stoppage. No, in real game time. To catapult.

[Sid]

Yeah.

[Teresa]

This trajectory.

[Sid]

And there are other angles where you see the players faces, you see the people are terrified, you know, and completely terrified. Like we're inquisitive people. Like it's not just about the humor in it. Let's get down to the science behind it. I want to know.

[Teresa]

It's about the science.

[Sid]

Where was this thrown?

[Teresa]

It is about the science. So do you have any facts that back this statement?

[Sid]

100%. All right, I got a trajectory formula for us. Okay, so we're going to look at Y equals X tangent. So we're not there. We're not there to be able to get all of these numbers. But when we get back to Atlanta, we will investigate. Here's a diagram of what it'll look like. I added a little dildo. I added the mean green. Matter of fact, let me color them

[Teresa]

in can you fill it in for. Yeah, fill it in for us.

[Sid]

Yeah, give it a little.

[Teresa]

Give a little Umph. I added some hairs, but I guess I should know.

[Sid]

Oh, man.

[Teresa]

I don't know if that's, like, truly accurate.

[Sid]

I did a little vein. I think that's what they look like. So we're gonna get down to the bottom of this when we get to Atlanta.

[Teresa]

Yeah.

[Sid]

But there's an angle where you can see the crowd, and there's a section where, like, people aren't sitting because there's a big Atlanta Dream banner. So we know. So that boils it down to even fewer people. But we saw secure security did go to take some people out or, like, security went over to the. That section. I don't know if they found a person. But even funnier, security was on the court in the angle right where the video person zoomed in on mean, green, lifeless on the floor. A man from, like, courtside, but, like, a section below gave, like, a little handkerchief or like, a little rag to grab it with. Like, it was infection control. And the security guard, the lady, like, picked it up. And I just. That, like, the security guard, did she

[Teresa]

throw it into, like, an evidence bag? Like, what happens. What happens when this happens? There's no protocol, like, do a thorough investigation from the police, or is it just our investigation? We're. We're people of the people, so we're going to do this investigation just in case it's not thorough enough from the Atlanta PD 1000%. So we have questions, a ton of questions.

[Sid]

But I also. I envision there being like, this was thrown by, like, somebody's ex. But this isn't the first time that they've been at work or, like, at an event and their ex has thrown a dildo at them. So for somebody, this was triggering, and they're like, oh, like, she's here.

[Teresa]

Not again.

[Sid]

And I. This is sick.

[Teresa]

There's kids.

[Sid]

Just when we start getting new fans, then we lose them. Stuff like this. They're like, only at a W game.

[Teresa]

We have our first guest appearance from Inanimate Object. Please welcome, everybody. The mean Green.

[Sid]

What's up?

[Teresa]

So, you know, as a pioneer in the sports space, like, how does it feel to have the breakthrough performance that you had?

[Sid]

I mean, it was my first game for real. My first women's NBA game. Like, I mean, shit was cool. It just. It wasn't entertaining enough. I kind of wanted to be, like, in the action. That's how I felt a little bit. But, like, it was straight. Like, it was Straight? Well, it wasn't straight. So you.

[Teresa]

You weren't feeling like you were getting enough action in your everyday life that you had to then make this kind of stuff.

[Sid]

I came with my homeboy. I came with, like, a couple of my boys, and they was talking about, like, man, it should be fun. Like, should be cool. And I was like, all right, like, I'll go see. But I wasn't like, I can't. Like, I really like Ron Howard. I heard about her, but I ain't seen her play in person, so it was like, I was excited to go see her play in person. So when she wasn't playing, I kind of wasn't, like, I wasn't, like, checked in like that no more. I was like, twin, not even playing. Like, this ain't really fun for me. The game was close. It was tied. But, like, I just wanted something, like, fun to happen, so this was, like, fun for me.

[Teresa]

So let's go through all the ranges of your emotions. Like, how did it make you feel when you were treated like an infectious disease or some kind of.

[Sid]

I really ain't like that. I really ain't like that. They end up putting me in cuffs and stuff. And I'm like, listen, man, I try to bring joy and pleasure to people. I. I ain't never in no position trying to hurt nobody. This was me just having fun. I'm just trying to make fun for everybody. Like, pretty much everywhere I go, like, I be making sure it's fun. That's the most important thing to me. I'm never doing nothing out of no disrespect or to make nobody uncomfortable. That's never been me, right? So for me, being in this position and being almost vilified, like, I'm getting online and I'm like, it's threats about me. I mean, like, I'm hearing the announcer saying, like, this should never take place like that. I'm like, y' all don't even know me. For real. Like, if y' all really knew where I was from, y' all wouldn't be saying this that y' all saying about me for real. It's pissing me off.

[Teresa]

So is this your first time in front of a national audience? Like, you got screen time on national television. There was a zoom in. You got a full game stoppage and. And zoom in, like you were the center of attention. How'd that make you feel, man?

[Sid]

My friend, a lot of my friends, my phone blowing up. It's crazy. I didn't think all this was going to happen. But, like, my family, they reposted me and stuff on a story, and, like, it's real big in our community, for real, to be seen on tv. Like, we don't have a lot of, like, celebrities, and the ones that we do. The ones that we do have is kind of, like, they frowned upon. It's kind of like, y'.

[Teresa]

All.

[Sid]

Y' all in, like, a weird industry. We not really rocking with that. So for me to be somebody to, like, show. Show a different side, like, we could be out in public. And, yes, even though I was perceived as something negative to some, there are some that have seen me, and it's been encouragement to them. They're like, well, you know, I want to be out in public, too. It's kind of like the Amish community, for real. You don't really be seeing them, you know? So when you see them, it's like, oh, they exist. It's like, yeah, we exist. Like, just. I don't know. So it's just. Man, for me, it's. It's just exciting to be, like, a motivator for people.

[Teresa]

Now it seems like representation really matters in your community, and I'm. I'm honored to be able to sit down right now with you and talk this through. Thank you again for your time, and,

[Sid]

yeah, man, I'll come back.

[Teresa]

Thank you for the impact that you created.

[Sid]

Oh, for sure, man. I'm here to make ripples, make waves. You got to feel me. All right, y', all, thanks for babysitting us. In 2025, we are going to extend your contract, but we still don't have the money to pay you, even though we got the sponsorship. Is that cool?

[Teresa]

Cool.

[Sid]

Cool.

[Teresa]

Totally cool with me. And one last thing, y', all, don't forget to throw kindness around like confetti today and every day in 2026. Can't wait to see you guys in the new year.

[Sid]

Us. And, yeah, my flow is so damn

[Teresa]

sick, I be coughing it up. You said that we going flat.

[Sid]

Well, then I'm calling your blood unsupervised. Unsupervised. Unsupervised. Unsupervised. Sa.
