Show Me Something - Sophie Cunningham REACTS to possible WNBA LOCKOUT, player's union & CBA drama

Episode Date: March 4, 2026

Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham and Bravo’s West Wilson are back in New York (freezing in Midtown) fresh off a Marriott shoot, debating the proper pronunciation of “gyro,” breaking down West’s go-to NYC bars, Sophie’s fear of subway snakes, and asking the important questions — like whether it’s acceptable to kill spiders in your house. But then things get real. Sophie gives a raw, unfiltered update on the WNBA CBA negotiations — revenue share, salary caps, housing debates, expansion draft chaos, and why the players are more unified than ever. If there’s a delay to the season, she makes one thing clear: it won’t be because the players weren’t ready.From business talk to breakfast casseroles, ‘Summer House’ behind-the-scenes stories, Southwest Airlines rants, dating app dilemmas, tall-girl preferences, and whether CEOs even eat their own products—this episode has it all.00:00 - Start 2:43 - West's top 3 NYC Spots3:43 - Sophie’s fear of Subway snakes 6:30 - Sophie VS. spiders 7:00 - CBA talk: Sophie explains the executive board 7:30 - OFF THE RAILS 8:00 - Back to WNBA CBA Talk 8:30 - Only small salary cap changes 10:00 - Breaking down BRI Splits  10:30 - NBA VS WNBA jersey sales B.R.I.

And at the end of the day, like, I think they're waiting for us players to crack. I'm telling you, we are unified as it gets right now. and like, if we don't have a season, that says a lot more about the WMBA league than us

because we're ready. Like, we are all training. We are all playing. We are ready to go. But we are not going to play for less than what we deserve. Gang, gang, gang, gang, guy, guy, guys. Before we start this, leave in the comments. Is it Euro or Gyro?

That is the big question you're having before we started recording. Yiro. Yiro. Yeah. Episode 35 of the Show Me Something podcast. It's the KD podcast. The KD episode. You know KD.

Yeah, good guy. Good guy. Yeah, I think he's solid. I think he's actually really smart. I get that vibe as well. Yeah. He's burner Twitters, though. That's the only, that's the only knock on.

But Loki, kind of funny. Yeah. I think he is funny for, like, responding to trolls. He just, like, has fun on the internet. Yeah, lighthearted. Yeah. I think. I guess we never know.

I feel like I've seen you more in the last week than I have. Are you so happy about it? Are you exhausted? No, no. I'm good. We've just been outside. I know. On our feet.

So actually, just a quick thing, we're actually in New York in person because we did stuff with Marriott yesterday for a little something special. Shout out Mariet. Let's go. It is Marriott. Correct. Let's get it right, everybody. We're working on a lot of pronunciation today. Yeah.

That's good for us. It is good. Thoughts on New York on a day in Midtown. You can be honest. Okay. Well, I think I'm more, I think I like Soho better. I think it's a little bit like more trendy. I like the shopping.

the vibes are a little more like New Yorkies. You don't have to defend Midtown. I don't even know what Midtown is. But I don't even know what Midtown is. You know what I mean? Like I feel like I know Soho, Chelsea, East, Upper West Side, Brooklyn. Like I'm getting familiar with my New York map. Oh, yeah.

But I think I always find myself leaning more towards, oh, and Tribeca, right? Yeah, that's all more downtown. But I think I'm leaning, I think I'm more of a Soho girl. Yeah. I don't know what that means. But I am. Soho is shopping for the most part. But there's a few.

There's like a hidden gem bar here and there. Like what are like the top three bars that you would go to? Like if no one has been to New York, where would you go? Well, I, my watering hole is 82 stand. Okay. Actually, I don't know. I think I can say this. It gets a shout out on Summer House.

Actually, yeah, it'll drop. It gets a shout out in this episode that comes out. Really? Yeah. Do you guys go there? KJ went on a date there. But I like to think I like laid the bricks to, uh, So let them let cameras inside.

I like that. If I'm going to do, if I'm going to eat, Lions Bar in East Village, it's like a good Guinness. Have you been to Lions Bar? Have not. Oh, Kev has his own camera today? That's sick. I like that.

That's like a good burger, baked potato, mozzarella sticks, Guinness, Caesar Salad. Yeah. And third, fancy-wise, this is more restaurants, but I've been going to Monkey Bar. Yeah, I've been to Monkey Bar. It's great.

I do like Monkey Bar. It's fantastic. Yeah. And it's dark. Mm-hmm. But those are, like, my three, like, there to drink, there to eat and drink, there to have dinner. And, like, you have to wear pants.

And still probably have a drink. But. Wait, that is fun. Because I, I, sometimes it's very overwhelming coming into the city. Like, it's so fun. But you also don't always know, like, where to go. You know what I mean? Like, there's just so much time.

Have you taken a train yet? I did it for the first time last time I was in New York. And I thought I was going to get murdered. It's, uh, the, train is everyone takes it though. That's what everyone says, but I'm on the TikTok of like, I see huge ass snakes on the Stug. Dude, I get on like the, no, I get like on like the like crackhead.

It's a subway, right? Yeah. I get on like the crackhead subway. I get on like there's massive snakes and weird animals on the subway. And like I know knowing me, I will be the one that gets fucking strangled by a snake on the subway. Oh, but you're saying like snakes like someone's got the snake around there. Yeah.

Yeah. Shout out my boy. No, we're not shutting out anyone with freaking snakes. No, they're disgusting. You run subway creatures, which is an Instagram that, like, is, it shows you all of the craziest people on the train and, like, the craziest things that happen. And it's, yeah, it's like snakes and pets and birds and craziness.

I'm not kidding. I would probably, I would have a anxiety attack if someone came on the subway with, like, a big ass snake. But you're not afraid of animals, though. I love animals, but snakes are like, kill them all. Huh. Like I lived in Australia. Big ass snakes there, but was in the city, so nothing.

I don't know why I said I lived in Australia. I was really talking about Hawaii. There's no snakes in Hawaii. Different place. There's no snakes in Hawaii. Zero. Is that a fact? Yes.

Huh. Because like you think about it. Island and like the majority of the time you have to bring stuff there. Well, that's why there's so many in Australia also in island, but they have them all. I think like social media is always well. worse than what it is. And I'm sure like there are parts of Australia of like where there are these animals. But when Lindsay and I lived there for seven, six, seven months, we didn't see anything. Well, yeah, because you're what in Sydney probably? No, we were in Melbourne. But we

traveled all over. Yeah, Melbourne. Don't say they are is down there. And so that, but I will say we did go to Witt Sundays, which is like a beautiful, it's like when you think of something so dream, it's like a Fiji. It is like, but we went to a, I guess a couple's get away and there's like me and my sister. We did this. and I'm not kidding, guys. I looked up when we went on this trail and there was a spider this effing big. Like above us.

Massive. Here's a good question. Did the Cunningham's, are you a family that kills spiders or do you let spiders live? Kill those motherfuckers. No. You gotta let them live.

They eat all the bugs and the bad and the other bad insects. Well, pause. If they're in the house, kill them outside, go do your thing. Yeah, you don't kill spiders outside. But like daddy long legs.

Like, I love the little daddy long legs. And they're the most poisonous spider. spider. Only on the inside, though, they can't penetrate you with their venom. Because they have two little amounts, right? So, like, I'm, I've always gotten along with daddy long legs, but like the big... Quote card, I've always gotten along with daddy long legs.

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

That was not it. Kill those motherfuckers. My dad found a snake in his barn. Nope. Last year, and it was, like, huge. You know, we have rattlesnakes. in Missouri? Yeah.

I didn't know that. Pivoting. CBAs. Dude. We've got a lot to get into. So progress. Oh, no. Not really.

Lack thereof. Really? But updates, nonetheless. Yeah. So I do feel like since we've been on here, it's like, oh, what's the CBA, you know, update? And we haven't really had a lot to update.

But I do want to get into some details because is we've been having CBA calls, which is like our player representation in the league. Yep. And you're directly a part of these or you get, you get like Spark Notes? No, you are directly a part of these. So you have like so many different executive boards

and like our exec meets, there's like player reps, there's CBA reps, like there's so many different. But on these calls, when they see all of us show up, it shows that we're invested. And this is the most invested CBA that the league I think has ever been. apart of, which is amazing.

I would believe that. Yeah, super cool. Oh. I'm like actually prepared. Wait, whoa. Well, this is kind of what my homework looked like in college. I don't know if you guys can see this. Yeah.

And then this is a bill. From where? Bell yard. Oh, NASCAR when I had to pay for my own room because Kevin was in my room. Oh, right. Yeah. Hold, that's a Johnny story. I'm already asleep.

Kevin just in a robe. Sophie No Low key I knocked out of the door and he's like Hello I was like

Kevin I was like get out of my room It was a huge hotel There's just Barry White playing softly on a JBL speaker These candles are from that room Yeah

All right I've had enough of this Anyway I don't actually want to read this But I do There's so much to get into And I think a lot of people

who are on the outside, they're like, just sign it. Like your salary increases four times, five times higher, but that's not it at all. And so on the last DBA, the league actually came back to us last night at like 10 p.m. And they came back and zero, nothing happened with the revenue share. And that is the whole thing what we're fighting for. And they go and they change our salary cap, but only like half a percentage. Like they give us like 50 to 100,000 more dollars, which is like... That's for individual players?

That's for teams. Teams. Right. So like salary caps. So it's like, oh, well, you're getting more money there. But it's like, no, we want... Salary cap doesn't necessarily mean it will even affect you directly. No.

They keep coming back and changing literally like half percentages. Yeah. Of things we're not even asking. Like we... Like, you think it's like a smoke screen to be like, hey, we're giving you this. Meanwhile, we're like not actually changing stuff that matters. Yeah. I think like when you go back and when they...

We change. a little bit right. And like we, we're trying to meet in the, I mean, it's not in the middle. It's like we're trying to meet somewhere. But for them, they won't even talk about revenue share. But that is our whole fight is revenue share. Any clue what other leagues' stances are on rev share? I mean, if you go to the NBA, if you go to, I mean, I think MLB is going to have

their self-it. They have a new CBA negotiation next year and that's going to be kind of a shit show. Like probably going to be a big lock out there because baseball money is just different. Yeah. But baseball is also more popular. I think right now, no offense to the NBA, because the NBA fell off a little. I think baseball's kind of popping. Yeah.

A cool guy sport at the moment. So, yeah, that'll be interesting. Yeah, I will say you get to do certain things. And there's a lot of people from different sports who are on the league side, on the player side. And they always ask us about RCA and like the revenue share because they know that is a huge piece. Pretty much every other league, it's like 50-50. If you break it down, it's more like, you know, 42 and whatever. But let me explain that.

So it's like, if you're the league and I'm the player and you buy my jersey and I'm a male, say I'm in the NBA, if you're paying $100, the league gets $50, I get $50. Right now in the W, it's like the league gets $97, $98 and I get $2. And that's on all, like that's tickets, that's drinks, that's anything that is money. That somewhat reminds me of old NCAA, like, name and likeness where NCAA had rights to all of your name and likeness. And so anything that any money made off of your name or your face or the idea of you, the school and NCAA got 100% of it. And then now NIL's like kind of fucked, but it is. They like couldn't keep doing that.

No. Because people like are owed. Like people like people. Yes. And athletes. Yes. So like you can't do that first. At 90 is 97 is that like I mean it's pretty damn close like I think last year we were getting like 7, 8%.

So when I bought your fucking jersey that I went to Kathy? You really don't see any of it. And that's what I'm saying. And another important piece of that is is like they want to extend our season until November 30th. So they they and that gives them us way more like you that's more ticket sales. That's more games. That's more people spending money. Yeah.

And so in our negotiation now, if we signed it, we will never see more than not even close to 16% of revenue share. And that's just not going to work. If you want more of our time, then that says even more that you should be giving us more revenue share. Right. Like that just makes sense. Well, it's also wear and tear on your body. Like sports are interesting too because you're like subjecting yourself to. Well, and they want more games.

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

share gets to where we want it to get then you should have to pay for housing okay unless you're are not on a guarantee contract because that what that's I think the league should 100% have to pay for that. Okay. Because that's like if you got a 10 day, seven day contract to New York. Fully, fully, fully, fully. Yeah. Like you're not going to pay for.

That just makes sense. But they, they haven't moved on housing once. They're like nothing. So how does that, are you, is it just a stipend into your contract that is like that like on top of your salary? Like what it is now? It includes like, yeah, it's just a number that you can use on rent. So what, what it is now is you can either do team housing, which they fully.

pay for and it's like they have an apartment or a group of housing. Oh. Or if you have your own house, I think you get like, what, like $3,700, $4,000. I don't know what the exact number is, $2,700. 4K month. I don't know. I don't. For girls who play for like the liberty and that's not even half of their rent.

Okay, but can, okay, let's get into that because I think that is, that is, um, players have brought that up of like, okay, well, if you live in L.A., if you live in New York, but hear me out. someone still you're getting paid hundreds of thousands dollars right revenue sugar goes up that's even more in your bank account you live in a market that has a lot of off-court opportunity that therefore gives you even more money yeah and so you have to take that into account when you were going to these teams yes it might be a little bit more pricey but you have more opportunity okay yes for like a Sabrina and Escu but I would say no for like a bench player no offense no no I feel that but I think that's why a lot of people have like arguments of like

they should always pay for team housing. But, West, like, if our minimum is close to half a million dollars. No, yeah, I'm not anti the housing. But I do think the market, like, for specific players, like, only certain people can profit off that where others, like, it's way more. Actually, hot take. Yeah. I think, okay, like, again, we'll just keep using Liberty here. Sabrina, great to be in New York.

Like, she's going to have a zillion opportunities. I would almost rather be a bench player in a smaller market where like your athletes are who you love. And like I would almost imagine that that community probably embraces the whole roster. Yep. Like I don't know. And you just Midwest, southern town more than. Really any non-big city.

Yeah. Yeah. No, I agree with you. I think this is like great conversation because this is like the discussions we're having. And like here's my, my thing is though you have to. sacrifice something. And if you're getting paid half a mill, you're saying this is where players we need to like,

like, like, let go of the housing to. Some people, some might not agree with me, but I think that is something that you would have to give up. And like cars. Like they pay for like,

they give us cars right now. Like we have to, we have to give up and sacrifice something. But I, but I will not sacrifice it for not guarantee contracts. Right. Because that's just not fair. Like that just doesn't make any sense.

But the league doesn't see that at all, which that just, blows my mind. And so I just think that's my viewpoint on on housing, which is maybe not everyone agrees with that. But I do think like there are people who their income is a way, way, way, way less than half a million and they're affording it. It's not like an offensive suggestion. No, no. That's not bad. My only thing would be like the convenience factor. We're like, okay, so say you just get traded or like signed to a new team and you have to leave tomorrow. Yeah. Like, is it your job to figure out housing then?

So if you get traded in all that, they put you up in a hotel for X amount of days. You know what I mean? And so that's fine. But I think they only do it until then. And I think in this new CBA negotiations, I don't know if they're going to do that. And so that's kind of our fight is like there's there's a selected amount of players that need team housing or there has to be money set aside from the league to help those players who are not under guaranteed or like who get trade in all. that who are trying to figure it out. And then the people who are guaranteed, like, go, go pay for your own stuff.

But the league isn't, they're like, no one gets nothing. Yeah. Any positives in movement? We have nothing positive to report. I think it's just funny because I feel like a lot of people on social media, I don't know if you've seen this is like someone, it's like March 10th. And everyone is like, oh, we have to make a decision March 10th. And Adam Silver got on and it was like, they're, we have to have a, you know, there's a timeline

with all this. They didn't respond to our proposals for six weeks. They're putting like all the pressure on us, yet they're not even moving on things that we need them to move on. Like they are changing every little thing possible, except for what we're like our top freaking things. Is there any way to bring in someone from the NBA? Well, I mean, like.

What with who for like? I don't know. Just who like has seen the model and like how it works and how to come in, take a look at like what the NBA, WNBA's structure looks like now and like just try to be. We already have him. Objective about like moving it forward. We have him.

And he, he has not done anything. It's like kind of Adam Silver's eyes and ears. And like it's, I think they're trying to push. I'm telling you they are trying to throw money at anything and everything and change half percentages saying they moved and saying that they're listening to us. Yet our biggest thing that they haven't even touched on is revenue share whatsoever. It's like revenue share is like the main thing that we need you to touch on and you're not doing it. And so that's that's our biggest problem right now.

I'd say. And again, like the league putting all the pressure on us players to make moves. We've made moves. We're waiting on you guys to respond. And at the end of the day, like I think they're waiting for us players to crack. I'm telling you, we are unified as it gets right now. And like, if we don't have a season that says a lot more about the WMBA league than us because we're ready. Like we are all training.

We are all playing. We are ready to go. But we are not going to play for less than what we deserve. That's going to feel good knowing that like. We're so unified. Yeah. Dude. You guys are all together.

And that's why like I'm not, people are like, oh, are you? I'm like, I'm not fretting whatsoever because I am so proud of us players for, first of all, being engaged, being dialed in. There are so many people on the meeting. So many people are asking questions, which I think is absolutely phenomenal. Like people are learning, being educated. But I just love so much that we're all like. Yeah, it's dope. Some badass bitches over here lined up,

arm to arm and being like, Yeah. Go, go for it. Like, what? We get a couple more months of vacation in the summer on a lake, say less. So you think there'll be a season or no?

I mean, it's up to the league. It's truly up to the league. But it sounds from what you've told me they won't budge for shit. Which I think. But neither will you. No, and that's what I'm saying. So like, as of right now,

maybe it's going to get delayed. At the end of the day, we just want to get treated like professional athletes. And I think we've made, a lot of great, I mean, just like our travel is better. I know where we stay is better. Like we have made a lot of. Our like second podcast,

you told me that chartered flights are only like a year or too old. I know, which is insane, right? Yeah. But like, and so I'm so thankful that we're making huge strides in that. But at the end of the day, it's like, you also got to pay your product.

Yeah. Like we are, we haven't seen the books. They're talking about expenses and how expenses are so. It's like, show us. Like, show us. And like, well, you just have to trust us. There's no way we're trusting you guys.

Like there's no way. Just show us if you're, I don't know. There's just so many little things that are like common sense to me that just never happens. Got it. And that's coming for me. Like, yeah. Simple. Keep it simple.

Like if that's true, then it's show me. Show me. Oh. Nice. This is the question we here. You said the date of March 10th before. So, you know, say the CBA goes well, right, negotiate and get back to half. So how does that specific date relate to the expansion draft and the kind of decisions and the raw moves that need to be made before then?

Great question because I think a lot of people have actually been asking about the expansion draft. But it all is very determined on the CBA. And so if you went normally you can like protect six players. You can do all that thing. But I think that that was last CBA. And so I guess where it kind of stands now is. one, need a CBA. Two, I think teams can protect up to five players.

But all that looks different because are you going to have core players? Are you going to have people who are protected? Like it's so dependent on CBA that that's why it's going to be legit a shit show because you have an expansion draft. You have the draft out of college, right, after March banished. And then everyone's a free agent. So it's not like people are restricted. No, like our whole league is free.

So it's going to be a lot. And that's why March 10th, unless the league has a miracle, I don't see. I don't see it. Plan ahead for an unforgettable FIFA World Cup 2026 experience.

Okay. You know what? I will say, I don't know if I'm any of that. Literally just me just trying to figure or learn. Yeah, but you have to like, I mean, this is not shit that you think athletes like are going to have to spend all their brain power on. No. because people go to school to like to do this stuff. And like I think it just shows how how much there are to not just like athletes,

but to everyone, right? Like if you had to do that, you find a way to do it if you really want to. And so I've actually found it very fascinating. And I've really been intrigued with the business side of our sport, of business in general, because like you're right, I've always always been basketball, basketball, but now that I'm becoming kind of like a businesswoman, it is so fascinating. Yeah.

And I think people make it complicated and harder than it needs to be. And I'm like, it's almost like one of like too many cooks in the kitchen probably at some point. Way too many. Yeah. Way too many. But yeah, you want to be unified and have as many,

have as much representation as you can as players because you're the ones sacrificing almost everything. But I do think once anything is being negotiated, if there are so many people, it almost becomes impossible to like. Well, You're never going to please everybody. But that's why.

Yeah. I forgot to mention this. And I think this is kind of funny because you said like you can't please everyone. The league said, actually like still in there that they want to start March 1st training camp. Why? First of all, tell me how that makes any sense. March madness. College season hasn't even ended.

Right now is March 2nd. But you know what's funny? Wow. Yeah, it is. Big as obstacle. Yeah. But the funny thing about that is, is like, the league is saying that, but the coaches of the teams don't even want that.

Yeah. So tell me how that makes sense. What's your normal date? Late April. I think this year might be the earliest starting, like, April 19th. Would this be, like, involuntary? No, like, you'd have to be there. It's like training camp.

How can they, but how does moving it up two months? Exactly. It makes no sense. Then do you have a break and then your first game starts at the same time? They want everyone to be at training camp March 1st, but you were, what about all the college kids who are going to get drafted? Yeah. Like how does that make? That's the type of stuff that they're trying to argue when that doesn't even make sense.

If you're a WNBA fan, uh, good luck. Yeah. That's fun. I enjoy the NBA while it's on. Captain Morgan's. Captain's calls, huh? Shout to Captain Morgan. Shout out.

Callers are calling in. They need advice on a variety of subjects, and I'm going to just let it fly right now. Hey, Sophie. Hey, West. I know this guy swiped left on me, but now we've met in person, and he's a vibe.

Should I forget and put that swipe behind me? I think that's fine. Yeah, that's like when dating apps and technology are like ruining stuff. If you like him in person, don't overthink a stupid fucking app. Agreed. Yeah, don't.

Because speaking for the girls, guys are like kind of uglier in pictures. Like they don't do them justice, I feel like. And so when you meet him in person, it's like, oh, wait, like you could be cuter. Maybe a little knock to your ego, but if you like him in person, don't overthink that. Ask him jokingly bring it up and be like,

how can I fix this? Maybe you had a dumb prompt question. Yeah. Or something. Or you posted a picture with all your girlfriends and like, he looked at the wrong one. You never know. Ballant.

Right? That's a good confidence booster. I like that one. Let's go with that one. All right. Keep at it, girl. Keep shooting your shot. You're so good.

All right. Yeah. All right. Next one here. Two-part question for the fans. Hey, Sophie. Hey, Wes. This is Josh from Los Angeles.

First of all, Wes, congrats on your cats. National Champions. Oh, fuck. Yeah. I couldn't hear him, Ray. Let's go, Josh. Well, actually, I have two questions. Let's start with the easy ones.

Sophie. Can you don't? Why? No. Second. Mostly for Sophie, but I want Wes's input on this. one. I'm about about six foot, but I find girls Sophie's height and taller very attractive. I also understand girls don't want to date guys. So should I just accept that my queen is

going to be shorter than me or is there something I can do to get taller girls' attention? Would be fascinated to hear you guys' take on this. Anyways, love the show. Hope you guys are doing great at a nice senior holiday period. and that Kev had a great time with his family. Dude, I like this guy. Josh, follow your kinks, dog. Follow your kinks. Don't let anyone kinkshame me.

That's like a normal one, too. There's so many people in the world, you're going to meet a tall queen out one day, and she's going to sweep you off your feet and then carry you home, too. You're so good. I'm rooting for you. I don't think I'm the right tall person to ask, because I can never date someone short of me.

Because I already feel big, So, like, I want something that's going to make me feel smaller. I get that. But, but I know. But there are so many, there are so many guys who have taller girls. I think people have really good energy. And, like, I love, like, I love so many people. But, like, if you.

Except for sure, guys. No, no, no, no. I just can't. I, I would just feel like the man in my relationship. Also, let me say, Josh, six foot isn't short. No, that's not. That's fucking chill. Yeah.

Yeah. I like that you know what you like. Facts. Go hang out at like wreck, go hang out at the wreck and like put and post someone up and then I think that you need to try actually go to sand volleyball, beach volleyball. Love, love, love, do beach. Yeah, do beach volleyball because there's a lot of tall girls there or volleyball in general. And like, I don't know, like they, that could be a vibe.

Go find you a setter, Josh. All right, y'all, it's time for a new segment powered by Captain Morgan. We're calling it Captain's Calls, where you send your should-up. or shouldn't I, dilemmas, your hot takes, your unpopular opinions? The messy ones, the bold ones that I might regret this later ones. If you need some advice or how to get it right, we're giving you the captain's call. So if you've got a life decision, a risky text, a group chat controversy, or a take, you're scared to post. Send it in, baby. Let the captains decide.

In the meantime, W fan, you can work on your breakfast castle. Dude, a thousand percent. You can get thicky like a snicky, like our man West over here. Dude, your ass is bad. Someone tweets. The casserole in my ass being in the same icebreaker, beautiful. I love that. Some guy tweeted at me the other day and said, I need a thickie like at Conrad Wilson. Dude, you, have you, I feel like you've always kind of had a butt.

I mean, I have like a football body I like to think or just like, you know. Yeah, but I feel like you, yeah, you got a little junk in the. I try to make sure that I keep my like playing build. Yeah. You know? Because that's always a compliment when someone says like you look like you played football. Yeah. You ever see a guy, you ever see a dude with no ass?

Like he's like shirts tucked in, like at a wedding. Shirts tucked in and it just, you're like, is there an ass there? It's so weird and like ugly. What about girls whose shirts are tucked in? No, but, but I. I think genetically you still... Are you eating your words? No.

Our bodies are built. Yeah. There will always be some ass. I think I'm... But there's guys who like, literally... I mean saying like, they don't have butts. Yeah, no, it's gross. It's one of the weirdest things ever.

And there's so many dudes with no butt. It almost like goes in. It just, I'm like, you know, no one could, like, reproduce with you. It's so unathletic looking and, like... Yeah. If someone robbed... If someone robbed your house... the guys who don't have butts will all,

they're going to like fall flat. Now it's not meant to be a pun. You know what? Make a d'hastrol, I guess. I don't know. Dude, can I tell you though? I have had so many trainers just like because people move all the time and the pros. And they're always like, what's your goal?

And I said, I want a skinny waist. I want a fat ass. Yeah. I have tried. I can't. I think I'd run too much. Well, cardio probably hurts. Yeah.

No, actually that's not. Well, basketball cardio. Yeah. Interval training, like sprint training is good for your legs. Yeah. Stairmaster rocks. I feel like my legs is fine, but I just. It's also genetics too.

Fucking Paula and Jim. Paula, damn it. It would mean nothing. But you, I think if you weren't hooping and you did like. Some squats. Yeah, what kind of legs do you guys do? I mean, squats, single leg squats, RDLs. We do stuff.

I'm telling you, like I can't. But it's never heavy though, or is it? Yeah, it's heavy like in the off season? Yeah. It doesn't work. Thoughts on the internet. One of the TikToks I saw said, not to objectify a man.

And then it's all just about my body. Yeah. I find it endearing, but double standard that are not posted about girls on my show. Yeah, right? Okay, everybody. Arby's just dropped something new

and I'm not going to lie, it's kind of wild. The new meat and three boxes is going for $7.99. So break it down. All right, you start by picking your sandwich. You have a classic roast beef, a crispy chicken, or the new crispy fish. Honestly, no bad choice here. And then they keep it coming. You've got the curly fries, the mozzarella sticks, and the peach cobbler roll.

I'm just saying that dessert might quietly steal the entire show. And yeah, there's a drink in there too. So it's called the meat in three, but Arby's he's hooking you up with five items. Five things for $7.99. It's all the Arby's classics you already love. So whether it's lunch, dinner, or you just need something solid that actually satisfies. The meat in three box is the move. about what makes a great breakfast casserole though because I like the spicy sausage and like

normal sausage a little bit. Yeah. Like that's a good little combo. Sweet and spicy. Mm-hmm. I like that. Well, one, actually baking, like baking shit actually does require some brain power. Agreed.

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

I didn't even put that much. I buttered the pan. Cream in the eggs. I think like. Wait, I think people have seen it, but like tell them what you made. Like go layer by layer.

Okay. Breakfast casserole. I mean, it's all in a pot. Yeah. It's in a bowl. And then you put it into the pan. Actually,

first off, sorry. I got a lot of people tag me in videos being like, I'm blown away by the scene that West made a breakfast cassero and the whole house has no clue what it is.

And they're like, do these fucking East Coast people not know what a fucking cassero is? A lot of people don't know. It's the Midwesterns. Midwesterns put everything in a casserole. Yeah. The coasts do not.

They don't know really what cast rolls are. Yeah. But I felt seen by the people who were like blown away that I was getting like weird vibes from everyone after I put my neck, my back, my pussy, my crack in this breakfast casserole. This is your fourth year though, isn't it? Third.

Third. And they finally put it on the show. Thank God. It's catching on. Every year there's one thing that I do that I forget about that like sticks with me for six months. And I'm getting tagged in like hellicasserole videos right now. Yeah, it could be a lot worse. Yeah.

Okay. So hash browns, 12 eggs, cream. And then I do veggies. You don't have to do veggies. And it gives a color. Yeah, jalapeno, red bell pepper. Um, sweet onion. Yeah.

And then sweet sausage and spicy sausage. And then I think for the most part, I'd say, oh, cheese. Yeah. Salt pepper? Salt pepper. Yeah. Maybe a little garlic powder.

Like that. And then that just goes into a pan, and then it's like, throw it in for an hour. Cheese? Huh? You say cheese? Yeah. Okay. Shred it on top.

Oh, yeah, you said that. Yeah. And then bring it out, take the tinfoil off. Shred the cheese right on top. Yeah. If you have breadcrumbs do it just for vibes. And then I did a little paprika on top. Yeah.

To give it color. And then put it back into like broil for like another 15. And I'll also say. Do you make one or two? What? Like, I know the show had, but did you make two? Because I feel like there's a lot of people. I made one. It fed everyone.

Oh, really? It's like a brick. Yeah. It goes a long way. It's fucking dense. Yeah. A casserole is dense. Yeah.

A casserole, in my opinion. Okay. I think it's better in the morning after it sits and, and, uh, kind of becomes a family. And then the flavors mix a little bit. You know, you got to let it settle. I think it's like pasta too. I think pasta and like chili. Yeah.

Chili too. Yes. It's almost like when it's. so fresh and so hot, you're not getting like, all of it. They're like the main flavor. It's like the chemicals and the molecules don't have time to become a new flavor. Weirdly what you said, I can't believe that made sense, but it fully did. Yeah.

The chemicals and the molecules, the time would become their own flavor? Holy hell. I told you I'm getting smarter. So yeah, that's a casserole. I'm sorry if people, like, we're so confused, but it's like not that crazy of a thing. I will say also what people do in the Midwest green bean casserole for Thanksgiving. A hashbound casserole. Spaghetti casserole.

A cheeseburger casserole. Fuck me up. You could do anything. Honestly, like lasagna in a way is basically a casserole. But yeah, so it's looking like the summer of breakfast casserole. I love that. Oh, and I also, do you care? What?

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

this is what life's all about. Can you smell it? Yeah. I just love it. I love it. It's so good. And I also love the smell of cut fresh grass. That's a kind of Midwestern thing, I think, too.

But you can just smell the rain. It's the best. And the sound. I feel like you do have to whisper when you're knocking about that. Yeah. It was beautiful. I took it in with, I took it in the,

storm with Ben on the back patio. It was really nice. Wait, speaking of Summerhouse, though, are you, like, loving kind of being the new party planner? You know, but I've always, I've always been that way. And I've thrown a party every year's. But I feel like you're finally getting the credit of, like, like, you throw good-ass parties. Thank you for that. The first one rocked because we had, like, a lot of the boys were there.

Uh, and that was just good. And County Fair felt like such a good. It's Fourth of July adjacent. Yep. but like with the perfect me twist and that that felt like the best way to 4th of July because you can't go like fully robe with 4th of July but yeah it was good

I used to invite fun people I know big fucking newsflash for throwing good party make sure people there are fun and cool so one of my agents he's a boy and he's highly obsessed with all Bravo and especially Summerhouse all bravo yeah yeah he's uh he's great But he's always like, do you think that they plan their drunk meal?

Because he's like, they either, right when they get home, they either go straight to the room or they go straight into the kitchen for like the drunk meal. That's why I think somehow people like it is because there's just so many moments that are so just genuinely us. Yeah. If there's mac and cheese in the house, I will always walk in and boil. He literally said that he goes, they walk straight in, get a thing of water and start boiling it. Yeah. drunk mac and cheese is a fucking... So good.

Treasure chest. Which mac and cheese do you get? So sometimes there's been craft, but there's also a thing called oodles. I've heard of oodles? It's like healthy mac and cheese. Yeah. Oh.

No, no, no, no, no. It's still good, though. Oh, it is. Yeah, so good. They just, like, are like, we're more healthy than craft. I just feel like shells is the best with that gross cheese that no one should eat.

Yes. That's probably been in there. It's just, we always, so someone orders groceries. It's everyone's weak. Well, yeah, tell me that. So, so, ah, I love this. Yeah.

So you, tell me. So would you order it on a Tuesday, Wednesday? How do you know what to get? A producer, the first weekend will be like, someone ordered groceries, like, don't forget, are you guys? Don't have any fucking food. So someone, like, volunteer. Okay. Usually, like, older people do it.

Like, I will say, also, because my, I almost just said my freshman year, the first year I did it, they're so good about, like, new people don't have to, like, buy dinners or order groceries or whatever. Wait, the show doesn't pay for the dinners? Sometimes, but also I think about it, like, could there potentially be beef or, like, a weird interaction? Because, like, maybe Jesse, like, didn't pay for, like, 18 dinners in a row and, like, always went to the bathroom and the check came out. Like, it's never happened, but, like, could you, because some people resent, people are weird. Or, like, what if someone, like, got dinner and then asked us to Venmo them in the morning? That's weirdo, you know?

Imagine if Carl asked for Venmo every time he got bagels. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe he does. No, yeah. No, everyone's a big happy family. But like, what if, okay, say someone new comes in. Okay.

And like they got a dinner and then they like sent everyone like a $20 VINMO. Like you just. That's not what we do around here in our house. You just be like kind of just grossed out. Yeah. Venmo, um, etiquette is like very much a real thing though. Yeah. I never asked for Vimmos.

I've, I haven't in a long time. Sometimes if it's like, Airbnb's I will if I cop the Airbnb. That's different. I'm talking about like meals and stuff like that. It all comes back around and like take care of your people. Yeah, I went to a dinner that my friends still talk about where one of the girls only ate a side of mashed potatoes. And the chat came around and we were like, can we split it?

And she was like, I just got potatoes. And we were like, it just added like 10 more minutes of fucking math to everyone's night. And you're just like, fuck. Stay for it. Come on. Yeah. Please come on. Plan ahead for an unforgettable FIFA World Cup 2026 experience.

Whether you're heading to a match, visiting FIFA Van Festival Vancouver, or joining the celebration across the city. You'll find everything you need to make the most of your experience, including match day essentials, travel tips, what to expect, and ways to explore Vancouver and BC. Visit Vancouver FWC26.ca slash know before you go. American soccer has exploded.

The knockout rounds are here. 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 Policic. I'm not worried about Balagan. 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, at home. Why do I watch the World Cup? That's like asking me, why do I breed? I inherited that fandom for 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 IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Wait, go back to the grocery. Someone sends, like, what is ever?

one want. Yeah. And like, I'm usually not that picky, but like, like, sometimes the guys are like, we need, like,

protein in the fucking fridge. You're like, whatever. And then the girls usually just want stuff for like cocktails. Yeah. And like, fruit.

Yeah. And so someone orders. And like, you hopefully like, don't fuck it up. Yeah. But then you like, we like take turns every weekend

ordering stuff. Wait. But like so breakfast castle weekend, I was like, I got it because I'm going to make a breakfast castle. Makes sense. In the morning. Yeah.

So like I do with that. Amanda makes guacamole some days. Yeah. Lindsay makes pineapple upside down cake People kind of have their own things out They'll like hone in on You know that they're gonna make yeah Yeah and then usually like if you want to make it that weekend

Then like that'll be your time to like order groceries You know how like everyone does kind of like have a dinner or like a whatever Yeah how do you know If you're like gonna go out for dinner or if you want to like hire a chef and like have a Habachi night or have like a Italian night I think it's kind of just up to you I mean like you can cook you can bring someone in to cook or we can go out All right real talk I've been living in my J Lab earbuds lately like

Flights, gym sessions, walking to grab coffee, they're just always in. And the crazy part about it is that the battery life is actually ridiculous. I generally can't remember the last time I charged them, and it's been weeks. The sound is legit, clear, loud, no ear distortion when you crank it up. Also, I've been using their over-ear headphones on flights, which is a game changer. The noise canceling hits, and it's super comfortable when you're trying to take a little sleepy. And here's what I love. J-Lab doesn't make it complicated.

You're getting premium features without paying some insane premium price. Whether I'm locked in out of game, zoning out on a plane, or just vibing to music while walking around. They've got something for whatever mood I'm in. J-Lab creates tech for every move, every mood, and every version of you. Headphones, earbuds, wireless speakers, and more. You get premium features without paying the premium price.

So go look for the blue box at Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and more. Use code something on jlab.com for 20% off your order. And I actually have them right here with me, and they are so cutesy. Another interesting thing. So the Hamptons is not like this big metropolitan area. I've never been. I don't even know.

Our house is in the woods. Okay. It's in the middle of the woods. So like if you're ordering food, there's not a lot of places to order from. Like McDonald's sometimes we'll deliver. I think there's a windy. Oh, fuck. No.

No. Okay. I was not saying we need to talk about the little. The guy? Yeah. Did you see it? Yeah or no. The one little tiny bite.

They said it's the meme from when the crusty crab when he just, when it zooms in and his lips get peeled and he and he nibbles. it with his teeth. Sorry, guys. I'm talking about the CEO of McDonald's instead of video, eating a cheese. Well, he had like a huge eating a cheeseburger,

and it's the fucking weirdest video of all time. Clearly he doesn't believe in his product. He called it a product instead of a cheeseburger. But he just takes like a, like the most pussy fucking nibble

of this fucking cheeseburger I've ever seen. And then he goes, hmm. I'm like, bitch, is it your first time eating a cheesecake? Wait, can I tell you something?

I went down a rabbit hole for two days one time that this is what it's said. It's not like sent in stone that it's true because it's on the internet. But CEO. Hey guys, everything on the internet, not all true, by the way.

But CEO of McDonald's doesn't let any of his kids eat McDonald's. This is so stupid to me. Who's the guy who started Apple? Tim Cook. Or Steve Jobs? Steve Jobs. Yeah.

I mean, yeah. But none of them even have Apple product and don't allow their kids to use any of it. Tell me why that. That's the red flag. I know the Campbell's soup guy got in trouble recently for being like I, I would never let anyone like have Campbell's soup.

It's like meant for, he said it's like for poor people or something crazy. Oh, well, I must be poor because I thought it was really good. I would crack open a fucking tomato soup from Campbell's and if I made a grilled cheese. With the grilled cheese? Come on, bro. But is that not like a little concerning of like all these people?

Like they don't let their own family use it. eat it? Yeah, but that's fucking not that's not surprising anymore, you know. Epstein. He still everybody, you're right? Um,

yeah, it's kind of a metaphor for capitalism. Anyway, you said there's like McDonald's there's like a pizza place, there's yeah, actually, I don't I can't think of the last time we had pizza. Oh no, we did. I thought it was like one of the first episodes. You're right. You're so right.

You're so right. And there's a Chinese place that we'll order from that, like, that's usually the best. And that does well in the fridge when we come home. Yeah. So if we order, like, we'll come home and then there's leftovers too from dinner. Yeah. Which is good. But I don't think I've ever walked through those doors after midnight and like not gone to the kitchen.

Yeah. Plus when you're like out and it's club. I will say this too. When we go out, it is a lot of, like there's not cameras, but we do do a lot of. we're with each other but sometimes it's pictures and talking and and like doing that whole thing and so then we all Uber home and get to like

kind of like let our hair down a little with just each other. Yep. And we've, I mean, I always forget that it's fucking on a show. Yeah. Because it's just like fucking three little GoPro. Yeah. You know?

Oh, in the cars? No, in the kitchen. Oh. Like we've been away from production for so long when we come home. Yeah. Like we haven't been filming for like six hours. Oh, okay.

So then we're not six, but like three or four. Yeah. So then we come back and you're like, your guard is so down. It's like, it just is like good vibes. There's a moment too where production will be like, all right, like we're going home, like have fun tonight, do whatever. And this is like so, I don't know if you guys are like this is like so lame. But when they like call it and we're all about to like go out, not miced up without cameras, everyone in the house takes their mic off at the same time. It's like, it's like kind of like getting ready for the night out.

And everyone just like it's like, it's kind of like this free. them gesture and so we all like take it off we hand it and we all like say our goodbye to everyone and then go out and it's it's kind of funny when I don't know we just all like at the exact same time with Mike's you it's like yeah I love that yeah yeah I love that I don't know I just think it's a fun show because it's we're all just like we just hang out in house yeah yeah yeah there's so mic's all over the house too see I think I would get so much trouble not trouble but like I also like yeah like I'm too like present of a person that I just like say whatever.

The show doesn't like want us canceled though. No, no, no, no. I'm not saying I'd say canceled stuff, but like kind of just like how I will always just think it's funny that like when you made fun of the girls crying for the first time, like I would always be talking shit like that. You know what I mean? Like not purposely trying to stir the pop. Yeah.

Like, why did she just cry? You know what I don't mean. Like, I don't know. But that is fun. That is good. Yeah. I want more bloopers. Yeah.

I want more. That's what our TikToks are for. Yes. And then people are eating those up. Like that's what people. want to see are like the bloopers are the fun thing. I have to sit on those for fucking so long and like they're the funniest videos ever. And I just have to like, I just look at them in my drafts for seven months.

And I'm like, I can't wait to do this. Wait. So when stuff is dropping by like weekly, are you like, oh, I finally get to drop like. Yeah. So like the one for this week, I'll post it tomorrow. KJ and I were like around the pool like sword fighting. And I like hit one of those little lights and like tripped and fell in the pool and like pulled my phone out and like threw it.

Like that stuff never makes it. The other shit. We got a pool basketball hoop, and I made it from the patio upstairs this summer. And, like, I just know it won't make it. You just heard about it. I hope Bravo doesn't get mad at me, but we have, like, a golden ears party where we all dressed up as, like, older people. Oh, hell, yeah. And you know how everyone thinks I'm, like, people think I look like Robin Williams.

Yeah. So I did Mrs. Dalfire. And I'm, like, dressing Mrs. Dalfire the whole time. And I did, like, multiple TikToks to her audio. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So good. Yeah, then I'll hopefully just explode. My Lindsay, my sister Lindsay, because, like, you know, they show you, like, clip bits of, whatever.

And she's like, I think that the old people, because you guys go all out, like, balls to the walls in your costumes just make it even way better. Yeah. But she goes, I think it's so funny because, like, everyone's kind of, like, arguing or, like, whatever, but everyone, like, looks old. I think that shit is so funny. No, they cut to it. The trailer is a scene of me being, like, so sad and, like, lay my head down. And I have a wig on and, like, a brooch thing on my, like a flower and earrings. But that shit is so funny.

No, it is good. Lindsay was dying. She's like, how do they even like have serious or like dramatic conversation when everyone looks like old like that? Yeah. I think it's funny. I've seen on the internet a lot that people like love that. So good. Yeah.

That's good. All right. And now to the next one, guys. Some RB's Hot Girls of the Week. Speaking of Hot Girls, maybe some tall ones. Josh, listen up. Josh. My Hot Girl of the Week is a very special woman.

She works in Atlanta. Okay. She's the one who clicked your ears off? No, my ears. She, uh, she lined up my beard. She brought my mustache down. Oh. Um, and gave me the MVP treatment.

What do you mean? What do you mean mustache down? So, like, usually you see like this. Her name's Mo. I gotta give her a shout out. She's lovely, so fun. Okay. Gave me the best day of my life.

Oh, oh. She, yeah. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. I don't care. Um, like, uh, what's the main scent that people use for, like, spa stuff, lavender.

Uh, hot towel put on my face with, like, lavender oils. I had to show her love because she made my day lovely. Really? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Wait, can you tell me, so when you say just down, you just mean just trimmed? Yeah, but like it's usually the mustache is more than my beard. We just even them all out like this.

It's like this part is still technically a mustache. Yeah. But it's just, it's not longer than the rest of this. Yeah, okay. Does that make sense? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you normally do that? No, I usually just, I usually do my beard all by myself.

Oh, really? But I don't trim here. I just trim it in front of my lips, but I don't like full razor it. Does that make sense? Yeah. And I complimented you yesterday. The eyebrows are looking good too. Thank you.

Yeah. That hurts. Threading hurts. Don't tell people that I do. No, I think. Wait, can we talk about that? Eyebrows hurting? Yeah.

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

And you're blonde. So that's like, yeah. I know. Yeah. There's people who probably like really appreciate. But why is that so weird to talk about though? I don't think it is. No, I think there's a stigma around like women taking the hair off their face.

Not that that might be a, uh, you guys thing because I don't think about it much. Yeah, I don't think men do. But I think for women, like, we, we like everyone, dermap planes. I don't even know dermapplain is. So dermapplain is like, it helps with like, you do that spas. Dude, do you know what Nair is? Yeah, did you do it? I put it on my, I used it on my balls in college.

I used it on my balls in college. And it's so bad for you. Oh, yeah. I was like, oh, this is why I don't have to like shave my balls. I burned probably like so many important things off my, like, inside of me. Someone said, someone was like, just use this. And I was like, okay. But that was when it was brand new.

but then it like came out real fast, it like burned you. Yep. Did it just start burning? Kind of, but all the hair came off. So did you, do you still use it? The chicks are really grossed out by me, actually, with like the smoothest balls in all of Montana. Yikes.

I've heard, yeah, as I've gotten older, I know that that's not the way to go. So you still don't use it? Why do you look like that? Anyways, germapplain. Dermapoint is a lot of, like, when you go get facials and stuff like that, it's it's like this blade and it gets like dead skin off but it also gets like the hair off your face

and it like makes your face look like very smooth and shiny oh okay yeah like do it all the time where do you think would you if you didn't use it would you have like would you have like lamb chop sideburns no because he had a little mustache no just taking the floor just like new like new facial hair every yeah no i actually funny story real quick once he's gonna kill me. I'm blonde. So like I feel like my, I don't really have a lot of hair in general anyway. And like I have to like dye my eyebrows because like I barely have eyebrows. But Lindsay has and like I feel like girls who have with darker hair. They have kind of like a little musty. A little bit of shadow. I can't listen to this. No worries. It was so funny. Lindsay was like just going into high school. You know, like you're already kind of nervous being a freshman and puberty. Yeah. Our little cousin. He was like. I think in like. like first grade or second grade. He goes, why do you have a mustache?

Oh, no. I just think it's so funny, but. Well, Lindsay doesn't even have a mustache. Like, it's like, but it's,

I'm sure. But you guys, it's like just like, like, you know how some girls actually have a mustache? Lindsay, like maybe had.

Like it's just a little, I don't even know what you call it. We all know that everyone grows hair in the same places. Yeah. It's all good, Linz. Yeah.

Is she still? No. She dream of planes So that's that Hogger-Luique, who's yours? Okay, you know what? I will give mine To my flight attendant

On the way up here Love Her name was Ashley Ashley. Yeah, Ashley was great And the only reason Why I'm gonna give it to her Is because she gave me an extra blanket

An extra pillow on my red eye So let's give it her Two blankets? Yeah, it's cold Bro, she should have given you Did she give you extra sun chips? No, I was asleep. I missed my meal.

I missed my meal. Sometimes I haven't been eating my plane meals recently. Honestly, kind of gross. They're not as good as they need to. Oh, also not a big fan of Southwest anymore. Never was. Dude, bags are so expensive. You can't sit anywhere.

And the flight attendants have gotten pretty rude. Oh, I think that the way Southwest does their flights is so fucking weird and scary. I would never just free board a plane without a seat. It's so weird. Well, you don't anymore. Yeah, but that's because it's weird. and they know that that was stupid and dumb. Why didn't you like it?

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

and they were teammates at the time before he signed with the Dodgers for Otani did, which is just like an all time, like, if you're a baseball fan, you couldn't like write that up any better. Even though Mike Trout to me a very underwhelming

famous baseball player. But that being said. Can I ask you something real quick? Because like, I feel like baseball just has so many games and I get confused. This is like the Olympic, for baseball pretty much.

I mean, to paraphrase, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's dope, though. Like, it's fun because also those, like, all the Central American countries are so good. Yeah. They, like, get so into it. It's played in Miami.

I think they're, is there any in Japan? I think they're starting in Japan. Wait, what do you mean starting Japan? Like, there's games there in Miami or they're moving it to Japan. Is it all Japan? They have, like, four locations. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow.

But, like, them playing in Miami when it's like, like, Dominican Republic, Venezuela, all those teams, like, like, Yep. So dope. Okay. It's got Tokyo, San Juan, Puerto Rico, Houston, Miami. Yeah, okay. That's like so perfect for that. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, like Korea, Japan, big baseball countries. Yep. We went to Korea last year and I was like, we were a week early before their baseball season started.

Dude, you should have. Their baseball in Korea is like SEC football in the South. Yes. What did the stadiums look like there? The same? Big and they're fun and they're like so into it. It's so dope. It's so dope.

Dude, that's cool. Yeah, so like obviously Japan now. Yeah. They have Otani and that, what was this? The other pitcher. Someone helped me, the pitcher. Yamamoto. He killed it.

It's dope. Like, I, once you get to like the quarterfinal of this, I'll be, like, super dialed. Yeah. But obviously, you know, what's the order on? Wait, so how does America do? Yeah. We're good. We won two World Classics ago.

That's when, like, Eric Hosmer played. Oh, yeah, yeah. All those guys. This dude, Adam Jones, we're hitting that year. Robbed a sick home run. Yeah. Hold it out the crown. Really?

I remember that. I think I remember watching that. In San Diego. He made the catch on the wall and then he landed and he USA'd himself. Yes, I remember that. It was so sick. Yeah. Dude, USA athletes be stepping up in the moment.

Steph Curry with a night night. You got Adam Jones over here. No pressure USA, but we're watching you guys. They're the favorites right now. Minutes 115. Japan is second at plus 325. So if you guys want to predict the winner. I'll give it to USA.

I mean, we just want, you know, keep the hockey momentum. Do we pretty much get all of our golden gloves and just stack our team? I mean, it's, but, but the one thing is you would be surprised how, like, many dudes in the MLB are, like, are playing for other, other countries. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not surprised by that. Yeah, it's, like, a really fun tournament, actually. Yeah.

Good. Well, now I'm kind of invested. Yeah. I didn't even know it. The fucking championship in Miami is, like, electricity. When is it? When is it? It's, like, right before MLB starts.

So it's, like, it's quick. I slide? I would slide heavy. That's an event that we would love to go to. Bobby Wood Jr. Followed me in December. Fun shout out for me on the pod. Who's our coaches?

Who's USA coaches? It's also weird because you're like, but being a manager for that is weird because it's a, do you try to keep a lineup steady or do you mix it up so other dudes can play because they're all good? I know. But that's what makes it,

that's why I want to know who's kind of our coaches. Mark DeRosa is the manager. It's the second year doing it. Not the highest profile name, but other key coaches on the staff. Andy Pettett, former Yankee. Skip Schumacher, Matt Holliday,

former Cardinal, St. Louis. David Ross, former Chicago Cub. So, I mean, we got the heavy hitters. So we got to bring it home. Are all GMs, the Skip? Yeah. So listen to this. I went to a spring training game

because it's all out in Scottsar right now and it's beautiful weather to be doing it. Yeah. And I thought I met the GM for the Cubs. Awesome dude. I thought his name was fucking Skip. Well, if you call him Skippy, he doesn't know. I was like, what up, Skipper?

No, I was like, I was like, Skippy. And they're like, you know, that's not his name? And I was like, learn something new every day. But yeah, let's go get this and then roll. Honestly, West, a great KD episode. Uh-huh. Oh, Katie. K-D.

I thought you're saying. K-D. I was like, who's Katie? K-D. I agree. Three-five? What does it look like on the monitor? Is that correct? 53, baby. Nope. There you go.

There it is. 35. Starting to fly by. That's like his, I can't think of anyone else in the world of sports who's 35. I don't know if I really like that number. Jalen Watson for the Chiefs, whatever. Thanks for watching, guys. American soccer has exploded.
