I'm Javier Lichita Hernandez and listen to Learning to Be Human on IHard Radio, Apple Podcasts, or whatever you get your podcast. If someone threw that thing and like, first of all, the bounce, the bounce that that thing had, if that smacks someone in the face, you know that that that's going to be plastered everywhere. And if it didn't hear, if it came from the top, I didn't feel it. Dude, I'm thinking about like, if it gets, like, I'm just, I just know how. things go viral now and I just know if that thing like even came from like the rafters or

bounce and just slapped me right in the face I could never I could that would be what I'd be known for for life episode two show me something how are you what's the are you in are you still in Seattle so no so we're on like a 10 day road stretch um and so we played in Dallas uh played in Seattle, we got to L.A. Late, late, kind of early morning. And then I stayed out the pool all day to day. And that's why I'm kind of wearing a hat too, because I got him fried. L.A. gave me everything Indiana didn't or hasn't in its sun.

So I'm so happy. Good. Don't be careful, though. We're sunscreen. I don't. I believe in, like, baby oil. Oh. Are you in New York or where are you at?

I'm in New York. I'm in my freshly moved into apartment that. is like not decorated yet so there's just stuff everywhere. And I feel like this background looks, is it looking like the wall is like fully black? Yeah. Okay, so it's like, it's a navy blue. It's called,

it's called Hail Navy. And it looks cool when the sun comes through. And it like, when it's light during the day, it's really pretty. But right now it's intimidating. It looks like, it looks like Batman's cave. I think without further ado,

I should say you dropped a podcast and then dropped absolutely, buckets in Seattle and that might not be a coincidence. You tell me. I don't think it is. I think you are a part of my life now and I think that's really great vibes. So it's us. Talk me

through. I mean, we might as well hop right into last night just because it's fresh. You and off. You guys had a big lead for a little bit. Almost blew it. But here we are. And it's what? Have you guys won eight out of ten? We've won the last five. Yeah, but I think your

life of an hour on is eight out of ten. streak right now. I don't want to speak for the Indiana fever, but you're rocking. Oh, good. No, we really are. Like, we're in a great rhythm offensively. We're, like, killing it. Everyone's kind of in their group, which is really nice.

Everyone knows their roles and they're killing their roles. Defensively, we've been playing pretty good, but we played some, like, tough teams. Like, these aren't just, like, wins from teams at the bottom of the pack. Like, it's big wins for us. And plus, winning on the road is hard in general. And so last night was a big win. So a part of your gauntlet that you've just been slang was Dallas. And have you played, did you ever play Yukon in college?

No. Okay, first look at Paige Beckers. Yeah. How do we feel? I love her. She, do you have a relationship off the court at all? Or do you just love her as a B-ball player? No, I think I did, well, no, I don't really have a relationship with her off-the-court.

at all. But I just like love her vibe and her energy. Like I just think that she is a good freaking human and she's a great basketball player. But like she really is. She's just like a great teammate and she's a phenomenal leader. And like I am all for that. Um, I think she's just, and I know a lot of people, she's probably going to get rookie of the year as she should. Um, but I just think like she's taller than I am. We played her three times. And the way she just gets to her mid range is just insane. Like her. Yeah. I don't know, you cut her off and she just has so much like so much in her bad that like she's got bad no she legit has a bad no i know literally but she she's she's fun to play against like we were kind of chatting it up last game but she's she's

i like her she's a hell for all this shit talking you do do you get some meaningful conversations in there every once in a while dude of course like no i know yeah no it's so funny though because like we played on friday and like they i'm just going to break it down so there's this one play where second half, she, she like went to the left and I cut her off and she did like a step through and like banked it. And, you know, we were there. So the whole crowd was like, ooh. And I was like, all right. Yeah, that was good move.

And we were running back. And she goes, hey, I traveled on that last one. And I was like, no, I thought you did. You know what I mean? But like, we were just like talking up or something. And then like, I fouled, but it wasn't a foul. They called it. And I told the rep to like challenge it or our coaches to challenge it.

And they're like, she. I think she was like, yeah, they should challenge that. I was like, I know. Like, well, they never listened to me. Do you think you get as light of a whistle as the NBA on traveling? No, there's nothing like the NBA when it comes to their traveling. Yeah, I mean, I figured that, but like... There's nothing like it.

It's crazy. And I've been like, it, you know, it's comical. Like, I'm just... You had to think about that for a second, but that's really funny. Because I knew, I mean, I knew the answer. I just want to see if you would be polite. Dude, real quick, before, I'm not going to be polite on that. But in the corner, though, like, we, like, were talking about and kind of laughing and I, like, hit her.

And, of course, like, the internet and everyone's like, oh, Paige isn't messing with Sophie. She doesn't like her. I was like, dude, we were literally laughing and talking to each other. And I was like, we will just want, we will want us to hate each other so bad, like, everyone. I'm just like, what is going on? I'm like, it's not like that. So, but she's a hell of a player. Like, I would, and she plays the right way.

I would love to play with her at some point in my career, for sure. What is your career high ever? Ever, I think, is 42. Jesus, Sophie. At Missouri, though. At Missouri, oh, yeah, no, I'm talking in the dub. Oh, 36. That's still a lot.

Yeah. But yeah, so fever or hot right now. Anything special about last night that you, like, feel like, I don't know, keys to victory. I watched a little tape today, well, if I'm going to be totally honest with you, I got an IV because I'm flying to Italy tomorrow, and I'm trying to, like, be health conscious

and make sure I'm healthy. I feel like you guys move the, and you also call me out, and I sound like an idiot, but, like, I feel like you guys move the ball well in the paint. And that's not necessarily you guys, but I was just watching, taking notes today. Yeah. Alia and who's your...

Tosh. I feel like she's always scoring down low, but she's not that tall. Well, okay, I love that. You just said that. Oh, my gosh. Am I free? She's like, yeah, she's 6'4. But everyone is so big in our league that she probably doesn't.

I guess next to Alia, she probably looked. I feel like she looks smaller maybe. Okay. I mean, I'm 6'1 and I'm like kind of small in our league. Like, big for my position, but in our league definitely small, which is so funny because that is. It's so funny that you think she's small because when we walk together as a team, we're like a bunch of mammoths. Like we just get a stairs.

Everyone knows they're like, oh, there's some type of athlete. But then like when we're around other teams, we feel normal. But out in public, like our smallest, we all went to dinner last night as a team and it was so much fun. And our smallest point guard looked tall in like the regular crowd. And we're like, what is like? Well, I mean, even if you were to sit on your couch and watch an NBA game, like with your brain thinks stuff. Curry is like 5-7. You know what I mean?

But like obviously, what is he? 6-3. And it's just funny. It's so neat. All people are together. Your brain like, it's like mind tricks. And you kind of like, so that's on neat and unknowing, obviously. Well, that, but also like, that's why it makes it even more funny when like there's

people in the comments talking about how like, oh, they suck a basketball or I could do better. He doesn't eat. I'm like, dude, he would fucking cook your ass. in a heartbeat. Eyes closed. No dominant hand. No, that's my biggest weakness. I actually need to get you a card. I went to the McDonald's All-America game two years ago,

and they gave us, yeah, they gave us our own basketball cards, and they said we could put our own bio in the back. And I put scrappy, no left hand, once have fun. Has good hair. Good hair, but it wouldn't look good on a basketball. court because I'd get sweaty so fast and it would all be toast. I was kind of blown away the other day before I saw you in New York that you played the night before in goddamn Connecticut.

I don't know, I mean, besides baseball, I don't know any other contact sports that like would play back-to-back games, especially on a professional level. It just kind of like blew my mind. Yeah. And people are talking about how like injuries are kind of up right now. Obviously, CC out, but like Brianna Stewart's out. is it angel angel's not even playing either right now like a lot of big names hurt do we I mean part of it comes with the sport but also like like like I should not be the person being like hey WNBA like maybe

let's not do back to back games for these young ladies yeah but like holy shit no wonder here's my thing that's crazy to me yeah here's my thing on this like we're always going to have back to games because our season is so short and they're trying to cram as many games in, which like, if we're asking to get paid more, then we're going to have to produce more product. So I think like you also have to realize what you're asking for and I'm all for that. But here's the kicker. I think you have to be really smart, especially the older that you get. I think college kids and maybe like two years out of college, you can do it. But you can't be playing year round anymore. So like you have people doing going over sea still you have the new league unrivaled you have um uninter like

there's there's so many other things unrivaled is bodies is that sues or well it's brianna stews and nefisa's like it's a great idea but i think people just have to be more aware of like you have to give your body some type of break and like because if you're competing at this level and we're going to have more games at some point. I mean, we're just not, we're not 18. Do you, your body's not going to recover like that? Do you feel like you're equipped with the training staff and the resources to, to, like, play back-to-back games regularly?

Or would there, is there room for you to invest more money into that part of, like, the WMBA? So I think it's all dependent on what organization you're with. I was going to say it's probably, Probably team-based. And some of them are top, top tier. Like, I, Indiana is phenomenal. Phoenix was phenomenal.

I know a couple other organizations that are really, really good and they really invest in that. But there's other ones that are way far the other way where like they don't even have, like, they practice at the YMCA. You know what I mean? Like they're literally sharing a court with summer camp going on. So there's just like, our league is just so extreme. Like wide spectrum of investing. Yes. Yes. And so it's hard. But like I do think that like people just have to be be more aware.

Well, then that's not on. Then that's not on the, that's not on the debut NBA then that's on just like owners. Well, I will say though, like now that we have charters, which is absolutely amazing, we've needed it. I can believe that that years. Last year was the first year. Or was it this year? Last year. Holy shit. But can I tell you something that's kind of a con?

There's like two cons to this. is because we have charters, we do leave right after the game. And one of my cons is, it's like, if you're in a fun city, you kind of want to stay and, like, go out. And my other problem is out. Right? But my other con is you are sleeping on a plane. Like, you're getting home. You're getting in your bed at, like, 3.30 or 4 a.m.

Because, like, no matter what you're taking off and, like, you're trying to get home, which, like, I get it. But you're also not getting the rest of recovery that you really need. So it's like, okay, maybe, is it smart to maybe stay in the city sometime? Or is it smart to not go home at home at 4 a.m. In college, we played games that's kicked off at 8 and the games ended at 1130. And we'd never one time stayed in a hotel after the game because then this, I mean, it's probably money, but it's also just like everyone getting. Because then football's a little different because every Sunday morning you have like recovery and shit.

and film and you'd rather do that, like, at home. But, yeah. I mean, they'd have to pay for a hotel for you that next night. Like, that part's annoying. But also, like, Caitlin Clark is probably not going to, like, shouldn't be walking through, like, Terminal B. You know what I mean? Dude. And, like, meeting the odd lunch at, like, Chili's.

But shout out. I was like, yeah, I love chilies. I'm all for that. Oh, God. We should do something at Chili's, dude. Oh. I have the chili Start going to like restaurants to restaurants

And start doing our pot Can I show you something really quick before we go to bed? Sure Yeah Did anyone one sec? No, you'll love this and I'll get them sent to you Okay I have no idea where this is going on

What is going on? Dude, okay, these are Chili's cowboy boots Okay Hold on Look at this, do you see this stitching? I can't get anything important to focus. They stitch a chili in the bottom of it. And then the whole side of it is full-blown, like, stitching with chilies.

I would rush those in a heartbeat. No, they're so fire. Well, I'll probably, honestly, call my chilies guy and get a pair of them down. Dude, tell them to say, I'll wear those in my tunnel fit with my west little scarf bandana thing and all. Those are being sent soon. Send them, baby. I'm ready for you. Not to take away from our big win last night.

And I'm going to start, I was going to start referring to fever games and scores as us. So I hope that cringes you out. I got good. So we dropped our first episode last week. Yes, that's what I want to get into, because honestly, great first episode list. Yeah, actually, you know what we should say

before we get too deep into it. We had to cut 10 minutes into the first episode. because I was full-blown interview mode. And they were like, West, stop interviewing Sophie. Like, this is a red carpet interview. Like, you're a freak. And, but then as soon as we had that and I had to get out of, like, work mode, just because, like, when a microphone's in my face, I feel like I'd do that.

But we, we got in a groove. No, we definitely got in the groove. And it sounds like our, I think I want you know, this is our first time podcasting ever. Ever. It's not like we practiced that. Our first episode, that was like our first. first take. So I think we did pretty good. Like we ruffled some feathers. I think we actually what I said about Caitlin ruffled a lot of feathers, but a lot of people agreed to. Like I know I'm not dumb. I know

I'm right. I think that might be one of my biggest takeaways is, I mean, obviously I'm just so used to, I guess it's like pop culture trolls and people with opinions and like all the like reality accounts and stuff like that. The W&B fan base is like very active. I mean I knew that, but it was, I got to be on that side of it. You know what I mean? They will love you, love you, love you, love you. But they will also beat you down in a- Of course.

And that's why you just can't care. You just have to be you. You have to be you. Yep. And that's why I am. Have you felt like at least on social, the amount that people care has significantly grown since, like, the Caitlin, Angel Reese emergent, like, from your first two years to like to say the last

two years? Like you feel like there's a lot more discourse online or is it to feel the same? No, you know what? To be honest, I think overall, I think that we've always had fans that deeply care and have been there from the very get-go. I just think now we have the platform that not only highlights us as players, but highlights our fan base, highlights our league. And so you're seeing everything that's always been there. So to me, it's no different. Like, we've always Playing in Phoenix when you have Diana Tchaussi and Brittany Griner, our stadiums were always completely packed because of them. And so now you come here, which is like times a million.

But like for me, this is really nothing new. An IR Radio Experience. Weekend gold tickets to Ilson Inc. With Dom Dahlah, Chris Lakin Friends, Woolly, Deadmouse, Above and Beyond, Subfocus, and More.

I'm Tad Ramos. And I'm Tom Bogart. On our podcast, Inside American Soccer, we'll talk about the real storylines. I'm not worried about Polisic.

I'm not worried about Balligan. I'm not worried about McKinney. My only concern is what happens in the back. And give you the truth about the U.S. national team from inside the program. It wouldn't be a huge surprise if our team ends up in the quarterfinals or potentially a great run into the semifinals. Whether you're a lifelong fan or this is your first World Cup. We've got you covered.

Listen, inside American soccer with Tom Bogart and Tabramos in the IHeart Radio app. podcast wherever you get your podcast. I love the sounds. The buzzing from the stadium, the chanting from the fans, the announcers calling the place soccer, football, at home.

Why do I watch the World Cup? That's like asking me, why do I breed? I inherited that fandom from my mom. I like watching it with my dad. It's a connecting force. From Futuro Studios, I'm Fernanda Chavari, and this

is American Football. A show about soccer culture in the U.S. and its underdog roots. We go beyond the game to the people and the stories that make it great. A soccer game is a festival. It's not just a game. It's your culture. I took an elbow to my head, which cracked my skull. It is an American game. The Brazilians don't like hearing that, though.

Are they the only ones that don't like that? Nobody likes that. As we get ready for the Men's World Cup this summer, Listen to American Football as part of the MyCultura podcast network, available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Because their new star is Javier T. Torito, Hernandez. Everyone sees me as a football player, but before anything else, I'm human. Every single day, I'm still learning how to live with problems, mistakes, relationships,

emotions ever since I was born. And I still have so many questions. Where do we come from? What happens after death? How do you deal with cancellation? Cristiano or Messi? Do aliens exist? What is love?

Real Madrid or Varsa? From every day and ordinary to the deep and extraordinary. This isn't a normal podcast. Everything here is spontaneous, real and genuine. This podcast is like a deep talk with your closest friends. Where vulnerability comes out. Conspiracy theories end up on the table and goals and lessons are shared. All in this life has an order perfect and all is just.

Wait me. I'm going to pressur me, but me will be going to be done. We are here to connect. Like, The Chicharito. And together with IHard Radio, we're going to make the ordinary, extraordinary. Stay close.

It's a crack. Wow. Listen to learning to be human on IHard Radio, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. But I mean, I just was looking at the comments and just a zillion dudes arguing about if Caitlin Clark's the face of the league or who it. I just, it, that felt like refreshing. I guess I was curious if that type of, uh, and I don't even think it's talks

Because to me when it's sports, it's good, like, it's good for the sport. Yes. People are doing who's the best and listen. Like, it'll never end. But I just mean seeing so many, like, obviously, I know that everyone's cared about the W&B for a long time, but seeing like that, just that toxic. Like, it's like toxic dudes on Twitter being like, it's Caitlin, it's Angel. That is, that's got to be good, you know. But that's what I love so much about it, though, is like, it's not just when.

women going at it. It's like you have guys, you have, you have elementary boys, you have high schoolers, college, pros, people who are in their 80s, like all ages of men and women caring about it. And I think that is so much fun. Like, it's sports. That's why everyone loves it. One of the coolest comments we got, I want to tell you, Chase Daniel for me. He, I mean, that's my, from, how old would we have been? From like, sixth grade. like fifth grade to like eighth grade. That is my, if I think of Mizzou football, it's him. It's Chase Daniels.

Yeah. Also, there's no S, Sophie. Daniel. You gotta lock that in. Oliver remember him as being a hot quarterback. Yeah, him, Geremy Memiclin. They were fantastic. But that's like my childhood football, at least for like,

Missou, that's safe. Were we like number one? Like when we were... Yes. They beat KU at Arrowhead. Hold on. Pause. We got to let people know, though.

We all grew up like five to ten minutes away from the University of Missouri. Like that was, it was in our backyard. And so everyone was always going to the basketball, football, baseball, like, whatever it was, we were going to those games. Really football back in the day, it was like, that was a place to be. Junior high, we were, Missouri was remarkable. They were number four. and KU is number two. Which also they're playing that game again this year.

But they beat KU at Airhead and then we're number one in the country. If you don't. We hate KU. We hate KU. That would be fun to talk about this fall when they, because you know they're running that game back. That'll be dead. As they should.

Gosh, I hate that. I hate that team. But, dude, I really was looking at some of our comments. And there was a lot. Like, a lot of people had a lot to say, which I loved. Of course. But someone brought up. Rockbridge High School merch

And now I Right up your alley west Oh We'll create a design We'll make hoodies That we'll send that out So fast that's my dream I've already made like

Didn't I have Rockbridge Hockey jersey on the other day? I think so That will be sick And it's easy And it doesn't have to like have our face Doesn't need to have our names or faces It's just pure Rockfish high

There was one that said this podcast would be great if you would stop interrupting her. I thought I did it. I didn't think I was that bad, but I feel like I, you say something, it makes me think of one thing and I try, and I jump all over it,

but I got to be better at let you rant. No, I think you're fine. I think when you, well, so can you. And that's why I was going to say, when you have two squirrel brains

trying to do a podcast together, we're going to be talking over each other. That's just what you're going to get. So. That's true. Yeah. And we'll, and our,

and our, our chemistry will get. Or groove? Better and better. Yeah. Yeah. It's lovely. Did anyone in the locker room say anything to you?

Okay. So I'm just going to, I like to hype people up. Like, I'm all about empowering other people because I just think that's what we should do as humanity. And so actually, our podcast came out last week. A.B., which is ALEA Boston on our team, she had a podcast that came out last week. And then also sitting Colson, who is like hands down the funniest human you will ever me in your entire life, they just came out with a podcast. So like my team is freaking rocking on all levels. And I'm just like so proud. So if you haven't gone and like listen to them, you need to go

listen to them. Um, everyone has listened to mine. Um, and they're like, oh gosh, they're like, get your popcorn and get going. Because I feel like Cine's is like way just like funny and she talks about the W and stuff too. But hers is just like funny stuff. A. B's is like more serious and like wholesome and pure, like totally A-B. And then everyone just has no idea what's going to come out of my mouth. And neither do I. Yeah. And so that's why I love it. I was going to say if anyone's going to be not surprised, though,

it's got to be people who are with you every single day. Oh, a thousand percent because, like, they know what we talk about in the locker room. And so they're like, yeah. And like, I'll protect my teammate and I'll protect all that. But like, it's awesome me. So, you know, you never know when I'm going to be feeling a little spicy. That is quite the truth. I want to hear about like, what did you're like,

What did the reality TV world? What did Bravo? What did like people from Summer House have to say about all this? You know that, I mean, this is like an unoriginal, like, comment that people say, but when people say, my two worlds colliding or whatever. Really. So I've heard that. So I got so many DMs about that. I just think of like my sports world and the reality TV world are so like just polar opposites to me that I never like, like feel the crossover as much as it actually exists.

Someone de-empted me and they're like, you need to get on Winterhouse. I didn't even know that was the thing. Is that a thing? I've never done it. They did two or three seasons, like two or three. Oh, because you, because season would be over. Yeah, because Summer House I definitely can't do because of season, but they're like, get on Winterhouse. And I'm like, I don't even know what that is.

So that was a show that they did where it was like they took people from like three or four people. from other shows and then put them all in a house in like Colorado or like Vermont or something. And then they would do like what summer houses, but they would film it all in, I'm pretty sure they filmed it all in like three weeks. Just like back to back days. Like it's nuts. Um, and I'm sure you get like cabin fever and it becomes weird. But I would love to do a winter show because my outfits would be fucking sweet. And you wouldn't sweat as much. That's what I'm saying.

But if I've pulled them, I'm like if we, if you guys ever get to itch to do that show again, do it in Bozeman, Montana. And we will burn City down in the best way. That'd be tight hats. I'd be awkward. Have you been to Bozeman? That's on my bucket list. You'd love it. Okay.

But can I just tell you? I always want to go. So I don't like the cold anymore. So like every time there's like somewhere to go hike or go visit lakes and know that it's always during my season. So like until I retire, I'm like screwed. Because like every. Oh, I see what you're saying. Been like doing all that.

But like we can never do it. And so we can go do it when it's like freezing and snowing. But like no, I want to go to Hawaii when it's freezing and snowing. I don't want to go to it. It is interesting how like this sport you play, whether that's childhood or I don't know, professionally, whatever this season, it, like, I would always be so thankful

as a football player in college that I didn't play basketball because you guys don't get, we didn't get Thanksgiving, but we got Christmas off and then we get like a good chunk of, like, summer. Because you're one season. We're both seasons. It's fall. Yeah. And so you guys would be, you

would miss Thanksgiving, Christmas. You usually get no winter break at all. Dude, you don't, you don't get any break. like yeah well I guess like what but no be kind of end of spring um I guess I mean we do we we get done in October and then you don't have to be back if you're not playing elsewhere or playing overseas until like late April so you do have a good chunk of time but like everything's cold you know what I mean unless you're going to go to Australia which is not a good idea you could go you could rape Australia um yeah but no wait I really do I'm curious used to know what like your summer house like friends said about it where they're like oh gosh or are they like are they nervous for you are they not knowing what like you're going to say and stuff because i want to know this stuff because i know like i'm not kidding everyone in my locker room they're like oh god i'm like what is she going to say next they definitely don't know how uh probably how

unfiltered you are there's a guy named carl on our show who's like probably the brief i literally know everyone okay west i watched so no i don't know he's like a sports guy you so carl is like a sports guy Like, Carl Olden knows what's going on. He knows everything about you. And he was like, oh, she's, like, been super hot, like, the last few weeks. Like, she's blown up. Like, that fight was crazy. Whatever.

So he was super hype and, like, give me a lot of love. But, and then, like, Jesse kind of knew just because he, just, you met Jesse, actually. Dude. Wait, I forgot about this. I met him, knowing that he was going to be on the next season of Summer House. Yes. And I also didn't know that he was into toes. I didn't know either.

Everyone's like, everyone's either a tow person or they're not a toe person according to like society. I think we should allow a middle ground for toe people. No. Speaking of, oh my God, I want a name drop so bad. But speaking of toes, how is your dinner? How was your dinner? My dinner. Were you just with our friend?

You sent me a picture. Oh my God. I did not know what you were just saying. He's on. He's like one of my first friends who I knew liked feet. Yeah. The craziest thing I heard, it was like, if girls come over to, like, his apartment or whatever, everyone has to, like, keep their socks on.

Because if toes are out, like, he gets hot and bothered. So, like, socks stay on. That's not a thing, is it? Please don't talk about. No, it is. No, they're a real to. Have you ever been DM? for toes. I've been DMed for toes.

Dude, I get DM for my toes all the time, but I'm just saying, like, you actually saw my toes. You would not, you would not be out of it. And when people, when people ask for footpicks, you know so badly that I'm going to, like, get one of my guy friends and have them take, like, a gnarly picture of their feet. And it'll be, like, like, hairy and busted. There's a website called Celebfootfinder.com, actually, someone told me this. Why do you know this? Because, like, I, actually, I think it was Carl was telling you that, like, everyone, who has like from like a D list celebrity up there's a website where people put your feet on there

and the people can subscribe and like look at your feet if they pay money you know to each I forget the name I can probably find it right now that shit's fucking weird keeps that away that's weird pictures uh there's no way dude there's no way dude there's no way Wiki feet Feet finder feet feed feedify and then just there's then there's just then there's just Pinterest. So I'm Foot Pictures website or like database. Yeah. This isn't right.

You're for sure on there. Well, I got, um, show me something. That's what this podcast is named about. It's show me your feet. Show me your teeth. Show me your toes. That is so gross. But actually, I forgot to tell you.

We were always, we were talking about like our first week, what people had to say, will the WMBA find me for. You got fine for episode one? Dude, they've been fined me $1,500. I'm like, what? I'm like, this is just the beginning. I was like, you're kidding. Oh, way.

I'm glad that you saved that for this and didn't text me because that's unreal. I mean, it's like, it's cool for the pod, but that's, I mean, that's kind of a bar. Do they, when you get fined, do they, do they put, like, verbatim, like, quote here, quote here, like this is why you're being fined and this why it's this much or is it like hey quit talking shit on us vin mo us like 15-yard what happens is they they text or that text they email our gm and she pulls me aside and she goes come here so if i have to talk to you and this was in like front of everybody and i was like what did i do now and she just smiled and she goes hey they're going to find you again they're like i was like i was like i even told them i even credited that their

job was hard. I did say that. And I said that I would not be good at it. I did say that. Like, like, look at the whole picture. What are we doing? But yeah, so I got back for that. So if I get lumped in associated with you and then have beef with the front office of the WNBA, that puts me at two leagues that I have like, like outwardly public beef with. Because the NHL hates my guts also, which is a old story. I'm kind of, I'm kind of, I'm kind thinking that the W is starting to have some beef with my comments, but I also have to say that more than 95% of the population who watches the VNB agrees with me. Without a doubt, we know what we have to talk about this week.

Sweeping interwebs. W&B dildos! Awesome. Not just dildos, may I add. Like neon green, probably glow in the dark. Dude, green machine. Green machine. That's...

Honestly... Dude, I... It's funny. Like, don't give me... You had a response. It's hilarious. But then I tweeted... Like, I was, like, loki joking.

And I think people... Like, I was, like, joking, but serious, but, like, more joking than serious. I'll defend you in this instance. Like, objectively, that's so dangerous. I've even tripped on a dildo in my own apartment that someone left on the floor. Like, they're not good for ankles. And you, like, we all know. So I agree.

Or, like, I wasn't even thinking about my ankles. I was thinking about, like, is someone through that thing? And, like, first of all, the bounce, the bounce that that thing had, if that smack someone in the face, you know that that's going to be plastered everywhere. And if it didn't, it came to the time, I didn't even feel it. Dude, I'm thinking about, like, if it gets, like, I'm just, I just know how things go viral now. And I just know if that thing, like, even came from, like, the rafters or bounce and just slapped me right in the face, I could never, I could. that would be what I'd be known for for life. So I was just trying to protect all of our images.

And yeah, break a fucking nose. What the hell? Yeah. Do we know if I should know this, but did they find the person who threw it or not? So there's actually been three gildos that have been thrown, which is insane,

all green. And I was like, I was like, hey, like, this is going to be a thing. Like, we could, I saw that they offer,

you're not allowed to talk about this. So you can't, you probably can't even respond to what I'm going to say. But they, there were, there were betting lines for the next color dildo thrown on the court at a WNBA game. And people could like bet on the number. Yeah.

And it was like sunset rainbow, like plus like 50 grade or whatever. Yeah. And I guess green is just like the go to now. Dude, the funny thing is like my parents and my sister, they literally text me after or before every single game like saying good luck, like did a day, you know. and my mom, I'll send it so everyone can see this. But my mom, she goes, instead of like my good luck text, she goes, watch out for flying dildos tonight. And then the other one said, did you really just post the dildo tweet?

It got some legs. And she goes, it's funny. A lot of others think so, too. Did you see the dildo hit the court? I was like, I never thought that I'd be talking about this with Mama P. I'm with my sweet mom. Did you see the response to your tweet that, like, like ratioed you?

No. So you said stop throwing dildos on the court you could get hurt and someone said we'll stop playing basketball on the dildo range. Which That's kind of funny. My bad. My dad.

That is funny. Damn. That's crazy. But like. But the guy who actually did throw it, he did get arrested and I think he's banned for a year. A year? He's throwing big hard

Well, medium hard objects. I want to know how they're getting these in. That's our talks in the locker room. It's not in their purses. Okay, so as someone who snuck booze into multiple professional sporting events. Dude, booze is different than this big green... But I was going to say you put anything in between your legs, where it's hot and like there's weird shapes it doesn't like it's a it's a it's a it's a rubber it's not

going to scan them the like metal detector thing so if you put it in your pants like it's it's free game i don't even know how they can keep stopping it unless they put out like a like a bounty for like anyone seen with a dildo in a w nba arena who just knew that like that would just draw so much attention i feel like they knew yeah yep it's crazy it's crazy Like, they knew exactly what. I want it to, I want before we move on as a society, and I don't want anyone hurt, but like, if it, if someone threw it and it landed on the suction part, like, and just like on the floor, could you imagine? Dude. Or the backboard, like, that would be crazy.

Everyone's trying to, like, make sure, like, the W is, like, not a joke and it's taken seriously. And then that happens. I'm like, how are we ever going to get taken seriously? If we have freaking... But in a way, I was supposed to have, like, have had, like, crazy streakers and people doing weird stuff. This is, like, part of the course.

You know? Honestly, I'd much other a dildo than a streaker. Yeah. And it's, like, kind of, it's cute. Again, as long as everyone's safe, you know. I want everyone to be safe. Um, okay. You know, you and I haven't talked about, actually.

and like met in the middle just like weird and like the first episode we were like introing so much stuff that we didn't get to like just talk about like what happened during the week you know I feel like the more we go like we travel this path

we'll just talk about like weird stuff first off shout out skins they've sent me briefs before love them oh yeah sick Jesse I actually have talked about this like four times on accident we're like skims skims they dropped face shapewear

they're supposed to like chisel your jaw line naturally it's sculpting fabric which I like I'm not a scientist so I like will probably have to read more about it but you wear it

it like wraps around your head it looks like you just got out of surgery like do you wear it might I don't like I'm not entirely sure I would if it was skims I'm sure they would do it in a way where you're, like, supposed to wear it to the club. But, like, this would make sense that you probably wear it at nighttime from the way it looks. So it's, it's infused with collagen to moisturize and improve skin texture.

But then I'm trying to figure out how it makes your jawline cooler. We, like, get, hey, we should get it for next episode and wear it during the episode. And then just in the episode with, like, Johnny Bravo Chins. That's fine. Actually? I look. bad right now, I feel like. Do I like Kim Kardashian?

Honestly, though, can I shout out Kim? This would be the, yeah, you do. I love their bras. I have their shapewear. I have their underwear. Skims is like, actually, I'm wearing some right now. Oh my gosh. I would show you that's in a po-po.

What color are yours? I want to, I fuck, I should have worn them today. I'm coming. I don't even have boxers on right now. I'm just at home, though, you know? Oh, yeah, you're fine. I think that I'm all. on the opposite end of that spectrum,

because I think that I need to care more about what eyes look like. So maybe I should start wearing that. We can try it. Skims. Send two. So too. Also, I don't know if you saw this. I feel like when you're in season,

I'm going to be just feeding you like the absolute worst of the internet. And you're going to be like, this is just insane. Did you know that? So like, I'm sure they come from like the same. manufacturer or whatever, but like, high noon put, like, sent out a bunch of high noons into grocery stores and they were accidentally inside of Celsius packaging. So people were buying energy drinks like on the way to work and shit and like just chugging high nons. Alcohol? How does that act? Pride is like love. You feel it in your heart. IR. Radio.

The U.S. won their group, and now every match is winner go home.

I'm Tad Ramos. And I'm Tom Boger. On our podcast, Inside American Soccer, we'll talk about the real storylines. I'm not worried about Polisic. I'm not worried about balligan. I'm not worried about McKinney. My only concern is what happens in the back. And give you the truth about the U.S. national team from inside the program.

It wouldn't be a huge surprise if our team ends up in the quarterfinals or potentially a great run into the semifinals. Whether you're a lifelong fan or this is your first World Cup. We've got you covered. Listen, Inside American Soccer with Tom Bogart and Tabramos in the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, wherever you get your podcast. I love the sounds, the buzzing from the stadium, the chanting from the fans, the announcers calling the place soccer, football, it's home. Why do I watch the World Cup? That's like asking me, why do I breed?

I inherited that fandom from my mom. I like watching it with my dad. It's a connecting force. From Futuro Studios, I'm Fernanda Chavari, and this is American Football. A show about soccer culture in the U.S. and its underdog roots. We go beyond the game to the people and the stories that make it great. A soccer game is a festival. It's not just a game. It's your culture.

I took an elbow to my head, which cracked my skull. It is an American game. The Brazilians don't like hearing that, though. Are they the only ones that don't like that? Nobody likes that. As we get ready for the Men's World Cup this summer, Listen to American Football as part of the MyCultura podcast network, available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

It's a ton of exciting because their new star is Javier T-Torito and Andes. Everyone sees me as a football player, but before anything else, I'm human. Every single day, I'm still learning how to live with problems, mistakes, relationships, emotions ever since I was born. And I still have so many questions. Where do we come from? What happens after death? How do you deal with cancellation?

Cristiano or Messi? Do aliens exist? What is love? Real Madrid or Varsa? From every day an ordinary to the deep and extraordinary. This isn't a normal podcast. Everything here is spontaneous, real and genuine. This podcast is like a deep talk with your closest friends.

Where vulnerability comes out. Conspiracy theories end up on the table and goals and lessons are shared. All in this life has an order perfect and everything is just. Wait me. I'm going to be able to be able to be. We are here to connect. The Chicharito. Oh, Javierito-R-Nandes, and together with IHard Radio, we're going to make the ordinary, extraordinary.

Stay close. It is a carac. Wow. Listen to learning to be human on IHard Radio, Apple Podcasts, or whatever you get your podcast. Happen. Wait, okay, complex sports idea. Can we mic? Has the WNBA been mic'd up yet?

Have we done miced up? Yeah. Well, so they... Can we do you? Dude, so listen to this. They, I think last time they were able to use. some of my stuff. Every time that I've been miced, they're like,

because I'm positive. And I cheer. No, I cheer on my teammates and that's what they use. But they're like, it's like, F, F, F, F, F. And I was like, yeah. But some of it's like good.

It's like, oh, fuck yeah. Like, good fucking move. You know, it's not like F you. It's like, fuck yeah, A, B. Good shit. NFL does that. And they don't do bleeps because then it's like so obvious. They just like mute the cussword for like what,

like the half second you can hear it and then keep it moving. and I feel like people can like, it doesn't feel as, like an SFW kind of. Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah, but I feel like if they were to do that to me, that people would probably think I'm a mute

because it'd just be like this old time. Do you get what I'm saying? It's a lot of cuss words. But I just say it doesn't mic me up. Yeah, I'm going to pitch that at a work meeting. Dude, speaking of that, like a lot of people who are kind of talking about, me cussing a lot and I will get better.

Sorry, I know it's not ladylike. But can we also talk about how we got to, I just want to get into this because it just brought me back to like our fan base. And did you see that when DB came back and played for us, that they got mad that our fan base was booing her? I don't believe in booing former players unless they left on like some fuck you type shit. you can you can chime in and I know you're gonna but if someone like put in the work in the years

I don't know I'm such a like come on let I give you this scenario yeah and I and I I like db because like db was one of my vets when I was in phoenix and then we we gathered here into indiana and like it's kind of a surprise that she was signed to indiana anyway and so we'll take her in a heartbeat. Like she's a Hall of Famer. She's a hell of basketball player can score from anywhere on the court. But she got to Indiana and she just like really wasn't happy. And like I want people to be happy. So that's why I'm kind of like neutral on this one, which a lot of people are surprised about. She's towards the end of her career. So like she deserves her flower. She deserves to be happy. But I also think that if you're going to leave like you're going to have to expect getting. Was there explanation when it happened? No. not even privately. Yeah, I mean, okay. That's tough. And yeah.

Okay. Well, I did say what? Unless you leave on some fuck you type shit, and that's what that is. Yeah. And it's family, I guess, but like you got to get, I mean, sometimes if you're doing things at inconvenience other people, they're better for you. You have to do it. But let, you know, let someone know.

I think there's a, sorry, say what you're doing. Yes. I think I'm right there with you. I think, like, I'm still rooting for her. Like, I want her to end her career and be happy. But I also think that, like, it's okay to be professional about it. And, like, send a text to your teammates. Send a text and be like, hey, like, love you guys.

Or you don't even have to say love you guys. It's like, hey, sorry, this didn't work out. Good luck. Did it. You know what I mean? Like, there's a way to handle that, I think. Wait, that's so crazy. I saw a tweet.

What? Or no, it's like a poet said it or something. I don't know. It's a sick quote for, like, being booed. It says, I don't care that you boo me. I've seen what you cheer for. Just like, I mean, not in this instance, but it's, if you're ever booed, that's a, that's a good Instagram caption idea for you next time to get booed. I need it.

Because, yeah, I get booed all the time. But I think it's kind of fun because I think there's two different types of players, though, that like some people can take a boo in other players, kind of like me, which like fans are dumb. But that, that, that, like, shit hypes me up. Like, I'm all for that. Like, if you give me that energy, then I want some, like, fuck you energy. You know what I mean? Oh, I used to say that when we played again, not, I'm going to say this all the time because I feel like if I'm talking about college sports when you play in the WNBA, it's like lame of me, but just like, you know, it's not. It's something that's okay.

No, whenever we got booed, it's more endearing than being cheered at your own stadium. It's, it feels so good. And you can do, like, I used to do one of these. Oh, so tight. It's just loud and it's like, people are so angry for no reason. Yeah. I know. But, like, that's what makes.

make sports so good too. It's like just the competitiveness and like people hating each other, but also like the sport is bringing everyone together. Like I just, I don't know. I just love that. My mom at any stadium when the home team booed the away team, she always go, guys, stop booing. Just so, just the purest woman. She was like, guys, we don't need to boo them. Or it's like a kicker. If a kicker like missed a game when he field goal or something, the first thing she would always say is like, I just feel so bad for his mom. And I was like, you got to get some dog in you. And then the more she was around my dad and I,

she kind of like, she got the like football grit. She like learned it. But she still, she's always going to be a cute little softy, you know? Yeah. See, I think, you know, that is so funny because I feel like it's vice versa in my household. I think our dad is more like super competitive. and like, but like more like the lovey-dovey of like, oh, like, and our mom's like, fuck yeah, you know what I mean?

So I think that's right. Yeah, I definitely. But she's been like, that's like been who she is forever, Miss Paula. Oh, yeah. She's a fire tracker. That, that, like, checks out fully. My dad used to have to, um, in high school, my mom would make him sit on the away side of Rockbridge's stadium because he was.

like it's so like emotional and like energetic if I was like doing shitty or like whatever or if they're a bad call like so she didn't want to be by him so my dad would go sit on the other side and I think she was like embarrassed that he like he was so emotional yeah no every game he might whole family would be up here and then my dad would be like in the corner just like locked it I no I'm laughing because one I've seen that and two our family is the same exact way like and it's not just like family and dad like our mom dad and uncle grandma like they're all spread out none of them can like sit next to each other during game because they all stress each other out I am so funny it's I love it um he's even like that way do you know he um he leaves I used to think

that he left chiefs games early to you know how like it's like such a dad thing like want to like beat traffic to like what even is beating traffic I don't think we've ever beat traffic but you hear it all the time. He left because if the Chiefs lost, he didn't want to be in the stadium when other fans were also sad and angry. So he was like beating the bad energy out of the stadium. And he, when the Chiefs beat the bills in the playoffs in 2013,

he left early because he thought we lost and he kissed me in the back of the head and he left. And then it was like the best comeback in the history of Chiefs playoffs. It was crazy. Oh, Bruce. Where's... Speaking of, actually, we are right around the corner.

You probably didn't think about football season kicking off. But I'm like, oh, if I can just... Once I get through August, a lot of Hamptons, a lot of traveling, a lot of whatever, as soon as we... Like, the light of the end of the tunnel to me is football season, and it's so close. And it's so... That is...

That is actually crazy that you say that, because... I can't even think about anything else until our season's over. But like, I know it's, I know like, aren't they in like spring training camp? Spring camp? Not spring. Summer camp right now. So like camp, official camp started. That sounded like last week.

It's okay. That's fun. You're thinking of spring ball, which is what college is to in the spring. You'd get like 15 practices in the spring before everyone goes home. So you're not like off as. It's just August. So. Yeah, that's the thing is I don't even know what day it is.

So you're trying to tell me the difference between fall and spring right now. There's no way. Do you, are you, can you do fantasy, like, do people do fantasy football and shit, like, in your teammates? Um, I'm, I don't. I think it's the worst thing ever, but I was, I just like so many people do it now. Well, I just can't, I can't keep up with it. Like, that's, that's a lot. That's, I know, I know a lot of people.

Well, actually, yeah. Even like, I mean, we're always doing something. Like, my offseason is busier than my end season sometimes. But, like, I just can't keep up with it. But I know, like, everyone does it. And there's, like, prizes and stuff. You win money and stuff like that? I think it's ruined dudes personalities, to be totally honest.

One, I think it's lame in general. But you can't go to a bar. It's made guys think that, like, that football is about them. And I find it to me the cringiest, like, lamest shit. ever. And you can't go to a bar anywhere without some dude telling his boys or like telling a girl. Yeah. Like this guy's on his fantasy team, which is A, the cuckiest thing I've ever heard in my life. But also, B, it just is like, you know, it's so weird. And fantasy football is not even real.

It's like, I just, it drives me bananas. And I, every fall, I'm like, I know, but. Dude, that was funny. Sorry. That base is, what I was about to say, though, the only thing that I actually do like about fantasy football, though, is, like, the losers, the stuff that the losers have to do is an all-time classic to me. Like, I could watch that stuff.

You know what? What a great silver lining, Sophie. That's actually beautiful. I love that, though. I do. Do you know the Waffle House challenge? Do you know what that is? No, but, dude, Waffle House sounds so good right now.

Oh. I wish. Wait. Oh my god, look. What? This is my keychain. Hold on. What, focus? I probably won't. It's the Walf House menu. I don't know if it'll focus. Is there anybody get it to focus? You're so like trash. That is free. Yeah, I'm in the blue. Fuck. Let me try one time to get it to focus. It's not going to is it. Damn it. Sometimes when I point my hand, it works. But, yeah, it's the whole menu.

I'm a, I usually, I used to. at the sausage egg and cheese wrap and then they discontinued it. Hey, but they have a melt. Now I need Texas bacon patty melt and then I add egg to it. And then half of my friends. I don't have the egg diced. Well, it's Waffle House, so you're going to have to get breakfast. Well, no, I do that, but I also do a chocolate chip pancake.

Well, no, you don't. Waffle. I do a waffle. Yeah. That and then sometimes just it. If the sun's out, I'll do like a little coffee, but if it's like 4 a.m. Dude, just thinking of my Walthal House, though, you can, you can never look at the silverware or the plates. Yeah. Well, yeah.

But it is, there's something so beautiful about at Waffle House how they like, it's like the cheapest form of a napkin humanly possible. And they like arrange it so that it's all like forward on your table. And it's just like, and it's like touching the table and everything. And it's obviously not sanitary, but they're making it like look cute. And I find that to be poetic. It is poetic. And you else is poetic is that our dad, my dad, goes there every morning. He works right by it.

And I'm like, you're going to die of a heart attack. Please stop. Wait. They don't, they know. By name. He goes every morning. If your dad was running on like zero hours of sleep and he was like kind of hallucinating, I bet my ghost would walk by him, to be totally honest.

Smag and right in the face. Get your work. Wait, that's lovely. I miss that. I don't even know how we got on Waffle House. Oh, I was going to tell you the Waffle House thing. I think Thomas had to do this. You had to sit in a Waffle House for 24 hours.

and for every waffle you eat, an hour gets subtracted. Wait, was this his punishment for fantasy football? Yes. So then you like, I try to wonder like where the threshold meets. Like I feel like, so if you eat, I can start out of the game and eat like probably four. So then you're 20 hours and then you wait. I don't know. Another two hours and I'll try to crush four more.

And then you're at 6. But what's the problem of sleeping? Other people sleep at Waffle House all the time. Well, you just get on the boost. Not like a little sleep. I mean, I know, but there's always someone slumped up in there. There is. God.
