Everything here is a spontaneous, real-year. and genuine, just honest conversations about what it means to be alive. I'm Javier Tchariot Hernandez and listen to Learning to Be Human on IHard Radio, Apple Podcasts,

or whatever you get your podcast. She had an extra movement after ball and just elbowed and nailed Lexi right in the fucking face. Like, too much, way too much. And Lexi, like, it was bad. And that should have been upgraded because I know if that was anyone on our team, if it was me, probably because I talked shit on here and then my reputation. would have probably thrown me out. Good morning.

Good morning, West. How are you? I'm good. I think we should start this podcast episode by asking Sophie, did you use the restroom since the last time? Honestly, do I have a hell of a bowel movement story for you? I'm sad. So yes.

And I think that I've lost about 20 pounds. So cheers. Oh. So then the laxatives are working. Dude, listen to this. So I, it had been almost like a good week. And I like, I took, so it says on the box to take two laxatives. And I did.

And within like an hour and a half, nothing was happening. So I'm like, all right, maybe I'm just like that backed up. And so I took three more. So I think I might have like overdosed a little bit. Dude, I was ready to be done. Oh, my gosh. I'm not kidding. I get it.

No, but listen, it was supposed to work within like an hour to like two hours. I did not go until like the next day. And then after that I was like on the toilet the entire time. I had to cancel meetings. My agents were calling. I had big sponsors and endorsements and endorsement should meetings. I did cancel everything because I was literally on the toilet for the next day. It was awesome.

It was actually awesome. I can only imagine how special that the whole day was for you. It sounds beautiful. I don't think I'll ever do laxatives again because I always, like, it always sounds good, but you know when you get those cramps? Yeah. God, you get the hot sweats. Yeah, but I do think when you do take painkillers, especially post-surgery,

it's like known that you have to take laxatives to, like, counter the painkillers. so you didn't do anything wrong. Maybe you just took a lot, but I bet it was worth it. Oh, I will never do that again. Don't overdose on maxitives. Wow. That's a fun Labor Day weekend, though, for you. While you were on your pain meds,

is that when you posted the picture of your ass on Instagram? How did you know? I don't know. I think I'm joking. What? I think that's what I commented. I said, put down the painkiller. I think you did.

Because that since surgery, like last episode, I don't really, I don't remember what we talked about. Like, I don't, I don't remember much at all. 4,724 comments on that picture. Not bad. Yeah, that was a mistake. It was sent around. It was DM 32,000 times. I should also, I should also say how much I love Caitlin's.

comments on all of your risque Instagram. It's so funny. She's such a hater. But she does it so tastefully. Like it's so funny. She said... No, she's right. What?

She said, geez, Sophie. And then she said, like, nope, can't like this. I often if she wanted to buy a truck, I could get her a great deal, a great discount. What is this, Chevy? GMC. Oh, GMC.

I think that... I drove a GMC at Rockridge. Do you remember? It was red. Yeah. Yes, I do remember that. Yeah. I haven't had a car in six years, but here we are.

How was your weekend? Well, I think I kind of just told you my weekend. It was, eventful is on the toilet. I feel like I was preying out of my ass, so that was fun. Love. And I posted a thrice trap out of that same ass. That's horrible. That's really bad.

My weekend. Great. They all say that Labor Day is the end of summer. I don't know if that's true or not. But yeah. She was in the Hampton, saw some friends. I saw you on a TikTok. You guys are filming for something.

There's a huge thing. And you were like carrying a spike ball and then trying to take off your burks. Oh, yeah. That was on the beach. Whenever we go to the beach, people film us. Yeah. And I had on socks. I guess we could talk about that.

I had on socks under my Birkenstocks. Bergensox are kind of rough and they really rub my feet in the worst way and I get blisters if I don't wear socks. I had on socks on the whole day hopped it into a pair of clogs

and then yeah was on the beach, took my socks off and then walked normally and there were a bunch of people like annoyed I wore socks at the beach but like whatever. It's not like I wore them in the sand. Yeah, but it was just funny. It was like the most West thing ever. I got so many people commenting like, Sophie, get your man.

Like, oh, that's just him being him. Fuck off, everyone. It's also chilly. I had a sweater on over my t-shirt. Like, it was a nice, cool, brisk September day. Wait, but did you, I saw that you guys went to the launch a soft bar. Yeah. So that's been in the works

for a long, for a long time. It's a beautiful, beautiful space. Wait, tell people what Sahara is if they're not familiar with it. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay. Okay.

So on my show, there's a guy named Carl Radke who has been sober for, I don't know for a fact. I think it's four or five years, but he's like very passionate, very articulate, like about his sober journey and trying to like share his story with other people. and so he is opening a bar in Brooklyn called soft bar, where it's, I want to make sure I get all the verbiage correct because he's been very intentional about it, but it's like drinks with benefits and non-alcoholic premium beverages and premium coffee. So it's like a space where people who aren't drinking,

whether that's sober for life or are just like, you know, like there are so many times, especially living in New York, where I'm like, holy shit, like, a friend's in town, whatever, and I want to, like, go out, but I, like, really don't want to drink that night. And you, like, can go there and have coffee. Like, they had espresso martinis. They had food and stuff.

Are drinks with benefits? Is that like the, there's, like, vitamins and, like, stuff that's beneficial to your body? Or is it just, like, the kind of plant, like, drinks with benefits? Well, there are, there's, like, mushroom coffees and stuff like that. But then there's also, like, electroc- So, not like mushrooms are getting. Now is burning people into drugs. No, it's not even like, it's not like mushrooms that get you like fucked up.

It's like mushrooms that like have like health benefits and like Zen new out or whatever. And also people use mushrooms now a lot for like a lot of things. Like it's mushroom powder. But then there's ones with like electrolytes. There's ones with caffeine. There's one with magnesium. And they're all like good for you essentially. But they're beautiful.

They have like a ton of bartenders who are like very invested in what they're doing. And so we went to like a friends and family event. and got to like see it in real time. The building looked beautiful. I'm not just saying this. And for people who haven't watched the show, which I know a lot of people are starting to now, so Carl used to date Lindsay and they were engaged.

And they were like, he was discussing this with Lindsay while they were engaged. And like she kind of shot it down. And I get her perspective too, but I also get his. And so for him to like actually now do it and it like be worth out. I can get cool. The original concept was a sober sports bar, and Lindsay shot that down.

And I think that was good for him to kind of like pivot and figure out like what this was going to be. So I do think sports bar with no alcohol would be a bit challenging. Yeah. But I this is like it was good. But like he made it better. This is like more upscale. And it's nice inside. and it's really pretty,

and they have, like, an event space in the back where people can, like, have meetings and present and talk, and, like, they have a pop-up bar in the back, like,

where people who are introducing, like, now there's so many, like, drinks that have, like, THC in them. And, like,

all these, like, just interesting, weird pivots on, like, drinking alternatives. Um, and so people can go, like,

try to, you know, test out their products in his bar. So, like, it'll be, it'll be fun. Um,

but we went to that and showed some love. No, it looked, it looked beautiful. And I was really excited for to talk about it because I think next time we should go there when I'm in New York. But I think it's really smart that he actually put in event space because you can make more commission back there. So you're not just relying so heavily on the drinks. You know what I mean? So he's he's getting it from both sides. That sounds awful. Carl is also probably the biggest like sports fan on our show aside for me. And so he, well, yeah, when we launched this, he was like stoked.

because he obviously knows who you are. Wait, can we get Carl on the show? Yeah, Carl would do this in two seconds. He would be thrilled. He's from Pittsburgh. He's got like Midwest sports in his blood, you know? Oh, dude, that just like fucking hype me up. How are you feeling so?

I'm good, but I just have a lot to get off now that I'm in a right mind. Kick balls back. I've been dying to ask How you hurt yourself? Did you guys win? No, so we just got like let in. So it's like season starts in two weeks. But we like, our team got into the league.

I was like really nervous we weren't going to get in. Why? It sells out fucking so fast. And I like was not paying attention and like missed it. But the way they do it is. They used to have, people could join by themselves and just be like free agents and send to other teams. And now, uh, they like, it's only teams. So there's like a lot of, there's no space for if you don't fill your team up.

So then if teams don't fill your roster up, you have to, I'm sure, have more than like 15. But we have like 25. So it's fun. What? But I was so nervous that they weren't going to let us in. And I was like, I don't know how to like tell you guys that this. means everything to me. And I don't get to like, I'm not,

I like have to be in a sports league in the fall or I will fucking die. And it finally happened. God bless Thursday nights in Chelsea. But I think we're going to have to start doing, it's going to be a weekly segment. You're going to have to say, what's the score?

And I'm going to give you a break up. How does every, if you have 25 people, how does everybody play? Not everyone's playing in the field at once, but like you go through, your whole line up. Yeah. 25 people out there.

But it's, uh, it is co-ed. So it's like, you can't have dudes kick more than three times in a row. So girls have to be like in the batting lineup like so frequently. And you have to have at least five girls in the outfield at all times. Wait, can I say something mean? Yeah. It's like not mean because I know I should be more about like women's sports, but like these girls on your team,

do they actually know how to kick a ball? Or is it like, oh, God, she's on. No, that's why kickball is the best co-ed sport. It's because you can like, everyone can kick a ball. And baseball kickball is so random, like where the ball falls. Like, a lot of the girls who are just like, I'm here for the T-shirt. Like, they still kick singles all the time.

Yeah, I pop out more than some of the girls do. It's a hit or miss. And it's also a big round fucking red ball. So, like, the most hype moments in kickball are when one of the girls who's, like, not paying attention catches a pop fly. And all the dudes are like, let's fucking go. Like, just so hype for her, you know. And it's beautiful. And it's truly beautiful.

Well, I just love, I just remember last year you would be playing and you guys would all be wearing like your, I think it was like a blue. Was it a blue shirt? I've been. I've been blue, orange, yellow, and pink in order. Yeah, I can't remember, but you guys would always go and then you guys would all go drink after. Like, like, die bar, like burgers and whatever. So here's the thing. Every game on the schedule is worth two points.

So you would either be one, you would either be two and no or oh and two after the game. Then you go to the bar and you do best of seven flip cup against the team that you just played. And then that's one more point for the night. So flip cup is a part of your record. You have to go. So could you be two and one? Yeah, so you could be like if you won the kickball game but then lost Flip Cup, you're two and one for the night.

So then that's your record. So then you're like, you're stacking like a lot of numbers, but, um, dude, that's actually dope. I thought you were just going for like making a tradition, but the backup they put that in there too is kind of fun. Yeah.

So then you're like playing the team and like you can, it's to either salvage the night or like really put a stamp down at the bar. And it's so fun. And that gets more intense sometimes that even kickball because like you put someone in and they can't fucking land the flip cup and you're like, dude, get out here, like see you later. Like we need someone good.

Wait, how can I have fun and flirty? Yeah, so you should go. Oh, great. Well, actually, I was thinking about maybe I could do a guest appearance, but anything even regarding walking or trying to sit on the toilet just kills my knees. So I can't even imagine trying to play fucking kickball. Do you know what's so crazy?

my biggest memory, like bad memory from when my leg was broken post surgery was trying to sit on the

fucking toilet and I couldn't get up and I couldn't bear weight on my left side and I made me want to cry

every single time so just so I'm thinking about you. Thank you but I've only made an appearance to flip cup I guess I just

I just realized you probably won't be good until when's your time when's your timeline for return they say like four months

Yeah, they say like four months I'd say like January, February but I feel like I Not trying to say anything But I think I heal quicker and recover quite fast And so it may be a tab of four But oh my gosh, I can't Let's knock on wood for that one

Probably smart I don't have wood around me so I got you CC new logo fucking sick Do you like it? Are you excited? I'm so proud of her And honestly I'm really proud of

all women in our league that have a logo because they truly are all badasses and they deserve it. And so I do think Caitlin was next. And yeah, like it's so simple, but it's still abstract and confusing enough that it fits her perfectly. And so I'm excited.

Like, it's awesome. She deserves it. I want one of her little diamond necklaces. I don't want the T-shirt. I want the diamond necklace she had. She's selling jewelry? No, but she's, She's just, you know, sporting all of her, like, little boozy diamonds and shit.

So I might have to steal that from her locker when she's doing rehab. But is it the logo, like, in the diamond form? Yeah. That's tight. That's super sick. But, like, she walked in, which, like, when people get logos, like, brands and everyone, they go all out. So, like, she came in with, like, pants that had her logo. I think there was a sweatsher that her boyfriend Connor was wearing.

Then she had, like, a diamond necklace that had it. So they swacked her out. but I'm pumped for it. She deserves it. What to you is a, is like a beautiful, perfect basketball shoe? Like, do you ever wear low tops? I feel like, no.

I always wear low tops. You do wear low tops? Yeah, so. I don't know how people hoop with low tops on. Why? Do you tape then? Well, after I fucking broke my ankle, yeah, but no. I hadn't taped for four years.

That's absolutely mind-boggling to me. Why? What about like That there's no You have no ankle support If you wear low tops and don't don't tape Well, I have strong ankles Like I feel good

I guess yeah I will If you had two good shoulders Are you gonna wear a shoulder race? No, but it's sleep like It doesn't impact like It doesn't get in the way I feel like But anyways

Because like I'm trying to think of signature low tops Like I think Kobe's were lows but everyone else. So really, pretty much everyone has, like a lot of people have like top, mid and lows so they kind of can get hit all markets, like it's a good strategy.

Some people like, I know Hardin kind of stays with the mid because that's like, that's the only thing he wears and whatnot. But I like basketball shoes that are like tennis shoes. So it's not like, it's like I'm running around in the backyard. You know what I mean? Like I don't want something that's chunky. I want something light. and something that's like I'm just on a walker on a ride.

Who's your brand? Oh, I'm Adidas. Three stripes, baby. I'll get you some Adidas smag. You need to start rocking it. They're great. Great people, too. When did they sign you?

I think like four years ago, but I just re-signed an extension. But I'm trying to kind of hope that maybe we can switch that contract up because I think they got me for a steal after I beat somebody up. What goes in? into signing with a shoe brand as a basketball player? Like, is it best offer? Is it, do you try to stick with who you wore, like, in college?

What's that process? Honestly, I think for me it's best offer, but I wore Nike's all growing up. And I remember I had a couple of Ditas's, but I loved Adidas. But, like, just our high school, we'd get free Adidas from like the, because you get like a team, whatever, team shoe. And then in college. Reprise was Adidas, that's right. Yeah.

And then Missou was Nike. And so I just kind of got stuck wearing Nike's, but then I switched and like, the thing that I love about Adidas, honestly, their basketball shoes are amazing and I'm not just saying that. They have a lot of good athletes who have great signature shoes and whatnot.

But their streetwear is so fucking swaggy. Like our street style, top notch. Like, top notch. For sure. If you are signed with Adidas, can you like be seen in top? in a Nike shoe or do you like have to have Adidas on at all times and have to be conscious of what you're wearing?

Well, I don't have to be conscious because I actually prefer Adidas now that I, I'm wearing it. I'm an athlete. Like, I'm not kidding. Their stuff is just way more comfy. Their shoes are swaggy. Like, I'm not, I actually want to wear it. I don't know. I'm just saying that for real.

Like, yeah, I think everyone else mad. I'd be honest about it. But there is one time that I was, it was winter and I was self-taining because I have had an event. And I just threw on this, like, huge baggy t-shirt. I think it was like one of my ex-boyfriend shirts. And it was nightly. And I posted something on Instagram, and I got in huge trouble.

Yeah. Yeah. Huge trouble. And I was like, oh, my God. I was like, I'm so sorry. I was like, I was trying to find a dirty t-shirt so I didn't like ruin one. But it's fine. But yeah, yeah, you'll get in trouble for all that.

That makes sense. I do you bring you and give me free profits. You should get in trouble. Yeah, I agree. But I always think when it's clothing-wise, like, you're not necessarily like going outside to like posts. But if you were like if you were seen in something like that would be crazy. But I do want to bring up one thing. This podcast has made quite a splash in the WNBA world, whether that's you being fined or just people like locking in. And skip Bayless, the biggest shit talker, dumb idiot in media. I watched the tape. It felt a little clickbaity headline-wise because he didn't actually come at you that much. But the headline said,

what did something, clout chaser? Fucking, I don't know. Dude, Skib, who's the clout chaser? You're literally using my name as your headline so people can click on it. And like, my thing is, I don't mind a guy. Like, I don't mind the guy. Like, I have no beef with you.

I've never met you. I've actually really never listened to you. Like, I don't, like, I just some kind of in my lane. and someone sent it to me and I was like, what is this? He's calling me a Cloud Chaser. Dude, you're the one who has my name plastered all over your freaking YouTube that had 36 views.

Like, get out of here. Pretty awesome. But that's kind of all he's done his whole career. So it's just funny. Listen. And you're there. heart-wrenching knockouts. Breath-taking triumph.

I think he was being complimentary in some areas, which like, I guess thank you. But like, for people who know me and people who have actually been paying attention to basketball before Caitlin got here or when she did get here, they started paying attention to everyone, I've always been this way. Like, I've always been like, in college I was that way. Like, don't like, don't mess with my teammates. Don't mess with me.

Don't mess with my teammates. I'm feisty. I'm sassy. I'm goofy. Like, I'm probably the most unsyriended. person that you'll ever meet. And people who don't know me probably think that, like, I'm a big bitch, which I can probably understand that.

But like him coming at me, and I'm like, dude, you, you just sounds so typical. So just get off my screen. I stopped watching. Now that you do play with, I guess you've played with superstars in Phoenix, too, but like Caitlin is like one of one, I guess. But like, have people tried to use your proximity to joining? a superstar to like diminish your

not legacy but like your ability to play basketball, your ability to be your own brand, your ability to be your own person. Yeah. I think I think it's funny that people always first of all, I just have a lot to say about this.

So just give me, give me my soapbox for like two minutes. Yeah, yeah, I want you to go. Here's my thing. people are like like Skip and others like oh she's just

tag on no I actually like Caitlin and I'm just being real and truthful that she has she has

brought millions millions I wouldn't be surprised if it's billions of eyes onto the W and onto women's sports like she is

a Kobe Bryant and that's how that's how Diana was that's how Sue was like that's we've had these types of people, but this is just bigger because the media platform is bigger than it ever has been. And so I'm just, I don't know if I'm only the only ones who are,

I don't have an ego, so I'm able to just tell the truth. Like, if it was someone else, I'd like, yeah, like Angel Reese, she's also brought millions of fans. You know what I mean? I think Caitlin has brought way more, but I also think she has too. Like, I'm just not naive and I might be blunt, but I'm not fucking dumb. So people who are saying I'm clashes or no, I'm just being honest about why the league.

is where it is at. Like, give the girls the flowers. Like, give it to them. They deserve it. Whatever. And then when people, like, come at me and like, oh, she averages eight points a game and do, nah, nah, I'm like, yeah, and how many pro sports minutes have you played? Like, and what do you do?

You're sitting on your couch just talking shit on me. All right. Well, you bring attention to me. You'll make me more money. So keep talking your shit. But my thing is also, like, if you really do your research, like, I don't know. I've been shoot the shit out of the ball.

Like, I've been playing good basketball. It's not all about scoring. Like, I've literally been the glue to our team. Like, I'm our energy. I'm our, like, I know what I bring to the table. So you try to come at me, you will never get to me because first of all, I don't care enough. And second of all, who are you?

Like, I just get two shits. And I think that's my biggest, my best attribute is I don't give a shit. And sometimes that's why I get fine, because I don't give a shit. So for people who come at me, about that stuff, good for you. Like, I hope you got your rocks off.

It is interesting how the, in sports in general, just the closer you are to someone who's already established, people use that to, like, diminish your game. And it is, it'll be this way forever. You know, towards the end of the season, shit, I was, like, averaging, like, 15. I had one of the best percentages of the W. I think I was leading the W in percentages at three points.

So, like, I know what I bring to the table. And it's not like I'm out here, like, well, I'm better than, Caitlin and I'm better than Nefisa and I'm better than Breit. Like, I'm not comparing my I hate, all those are freaking superstars. Like, I know my lane. I stay my lane, but I also talk my shit too and I'll back up people that I love. And for me,

backing up Caitlin or people talking shit trying to diminish me. Like, I don't care. Like, you're still making me money because you're talking about me. So, thank you. Fuck, yeah. So, speaking of, people getting roughed up

on your team, or sweet girl Lexi with the double black eyes sick picture though that she'll get to keep forever and show her you know her grandkids and be like I was eating elbows in the WNBA

for a long time but I don't know I know we we got to tread lightly with ref talk but like I just run me through what you saw and tell us how tough Lexi is first off well I don't think I have to to numb it down.

I think if I say the word ref on this podcast, I'm going to get fine. So I might as well go balls to the wall. First of all, have you seen like the pictures, though, of Lexi? Yeah.

Dude. Brudal. It's crazy. She's so pretty that if anyone's going to look like that, let it be Lexi because she can still somehow make it look pretty in a way.

It's a dark mascara. Yeah. Yeah, something. So what kind of really pissed me off about last week are three things. And again, I was high on meds, but it still triggered my hate for the refs.

So they were playing Minnesota, which Minnesota is a great, great team. But I think that what is kind of getting out of hand is the breasts are making, allowing it to be too physical. And then people can get away with certain stuff. And then that's when emotions flare and that's when you kind of see fights or people doing things that they probably shouldn't be doing.

And so there's a jump, ball and we can play the clip. There's a jump ball and they called it or they called a foul, whatever. And then after the play, McBride, who is a hell of a shooter, she's been shooting the shit out of it. She's a great, great player. So I'm not going out to turn anyway. But she had an extra movement after ball and just elbowed and nailed Lexi right in

the fucking face. Like too much, way too much. And Lexi, like, it was bad. And that should have been upgraded because I know if that was. one on our team. If it was me, probably because I talked shit on here and then my reputation, they would have probably thrown me out. And so that's not okay. So that happened to like she got nailed, like probably was concussed. I have no idea. I felt so bad for the girl. She's probably the one of the toughest players you will ever meet. And I think that's why I love her so much because

she just plays hard and she's fucking tough. And she's a great teammate, great person. Yeah. And then the next game, we played Seattle, who's also a great team. They're kind of struggling. We beat him. Woof who I like 20. Wham! So. Yeah, there's been big margins of victory

the last few days. And then her and Gabby, which Gabby's awesome. She's like one of my good friends. She did not mean to, but her and Lexi on accident nailed each other. And then that's where Lex immediately had like a huge nod. That's what gave her with my guy.

She looked like an avatar. She sent me a picture and I like FaceTime to her immediately. And I was like, dude, are you okay? I was like, there's no way you're not concussed. And I like texted Caitlin. and immediately during the game, I was like, how concussed is Lex?

And she's like, actually, it kind of woke me up. Like, I think my journal in here, and like, I feel better than I have, like, the past couple weeks. Like, I'm not concussed. I feel good. And I was like, there's no fucking way. And so she's good, but she looks brutal. But I did not like that way against McBride. And then the Gabby accident was just an accident.

So that's fine. I feel like if there was anyone who would endorse the refs letting girls play, letting the game flow, like let it be physical as long as you're calling it fair. I think that that would be you. I agree. Like, I am for physicality, but like you got to, there's a certain, we are elite level athletes

and it is physical and you get frustrated and you get tired of people hitting you. But yeah, it's going to get out of hand. And that's where I think everyone is just like, like jump balls, call a jump ball fast. So then you're not like, get it over with. Yeah, yeah. Just do it.

Like both teams want you to. to call it. So just call it. You know what I mean? It's just like little things like that. And then Kelsey Mitchell, we went to L.A. and beat L.A., which was a huge, huge win for us when it comes to where we're at and the standings and wins and losses and whatnot. She, Kelsey Mitchell should be MVP. She is playing the best basketball anyone has played all year. She's been playing the best basketball of her career. She's a phenomenal player. Nobody can stop her. Literally, Wes, when I tell you, no one can stop her. It doesn't matter who you have on her, any disfews, defense a scheme, she's still scoring 30 on your head.

Like, it's insane. Oh. Love playing with her. But she had the ball at the top of the key, and right in front of a ref, Kelsey Plum literally grabbed her arm and, like, kind of flung her around, and Kelsey, like, spun. Like, how are you not calling that? You're protecting all the other stars in the league.

Why would you not protect Kelsey? Like, it's just, like, stuff like that that just really grinds my ears. And then... That's your fine. I dare, Sophie. Wait, what did I say? You just said You're protecting all the other stars

How are you not protecting? I didn't I didn't even think that was bad But It's not But Sensitive People are sensi

So enough about the W I think that I've said enough I got my wrong song Because I'm trying to protect my girls Because it's just been ridiculous So Yeah time for Westworld, dude, are you so high for the NFL's first week?

Like, give me everything. This is like why I was put on this earth, is to wake up in the morning, go get maybe a little ice coffee and turn a corner in New York City and then have a fall breeze fucking hit me right in the face and be like, oh, I'm going to need to put a hoodie on. and then drink beers and watch football this weekend. Like, I just fucking love the fall, Sophie. It is so fun.

And it just makes me so happy. And, yeah, Chiefs, Montana State. I've been paying more attention to Missou, honestly, in the last few years. But there's just something about a fall breeze and football. I'll also say this. New York City in the fall. Like the city is like, there's a lot of transplants, right?

So everyone's from everywhere. A Sunday in Manhattan is just a bunch of groups of friends in different bars. And everyone's got their stuff on from where they're from. Like chiefs for me. Like there's Vikings people over here. There's like it just is so cozy and there's so much good energy. I can talk about this for a whole podcast episode. But it's just so far.

This is the most, like, exciting and, like, awake and high-five seeing you since we've started this podcast. I think it's because the NFL is here and follows here. And it also helps that, like, yeah, the NFL is quite fun being a chief fan the last few years. There's a lot of other teams we, you know, could have to be born in that state, but we weren't. We were lucky. But, yeah, Chiefs play the Charters on Friday. They're playing in Brazil, which. The NFL now is like going international, like super hardcore balls to the wall.

I think it's eight different countries this year. Wow. And a lot of people also just say, we don't have to get too into the weeds, but like the media loves, and I get it honestly to a point where you like need to say different shit and like you can't just beat a dead horse and say the same stuff. and like, oh, we love the Chiefs, but like, people have picked the Chargers and the Broncos to win the FC West. They think the Chiefs will make the playoffs.

But they've been saying this for the last seven years. And at this point, I kind of just like stay quiet and wait until the middle of the season. The Chiefs are like a... Yeah, and then they have like a two-game leading the AFC West and people just have to realize that they're wrong again. I get that, that people get tired of the Chiefs and people whatever. But like in history, when you look, back in 25, 50 years, like, why would we not embrace this time

that we're watching a freaking dynasty? Like, why would we not hype that shit up? People get bored, and people, it gets old, and they're easy to do on new stuff and get jealous, you know? Work harder, get better athletes, pay them more. But it's not boring if you're a cheese fan. I will say, though, that part of the reason why the chief being good or why NFL dynasties are so much harder to come by is that the NFL does have a salary cap

and so you can't unlike baseball like everyone's paying their their team accumulatively the same thing so like the structure and the way that these owners and GMs have to like build a team and somehow keep them um keep success going is like really really impressive And yeah, Micah Parsons just got traded to the Packers. I know. I saw that. I was just started to bring that up. He's making more than Patrick Mahomes.

Like on a year to year salary. Mahomes' contract obviously is like super deep. And he signed it for like 10 years or whatever. But like Mahomes knows he makes money in endorsements. He knows that he's going to be remembered by Super Bowls and team success. So he takes less money. And like. Yeah.

tell other QBs to take less money. The Dak Prescott makes so much money and they're fucking horrible. Well, I was just trying to say that. I think people are so worried about that number that they sign. And to an extent you should be in a way. But if everyone is taking less

and you're able to stack a team and you win and you continue to win, all of that is going to come back through endorsements and other things times 20. So it's just like, let your ego go. Who cares what you're, salary says, you're going to be good, stack your fucking team, go win a championship, and now everyone's thriving.

It just makes sense to me to take less so you can stack your teeth. I think it's easier said than done for sure, especially when you have an agent in your year who also makes money off of what your contract is. And as professional athletes, your window for making a lot of money is obviously shorter than if you were like an orthopedic surgeon or whatever, like you... You have like 10 years, if that. So I get it, and I'll never be a hater for someone like taking, like getting their bag when they need to.

But there are instances where like Tyree Kill left the chiefs for like a little more money. And like he was, he was already established. The chiefs would have paid him well. And if I'm him and my QB is Patrick Mahomes and I'm playing next to Travis Kelsey and my head coach is Andy Reed. Yeah, I would hope that I could recognize in that moment that it's probably better for me to stay in Kansas City than go to Miami where so many,

there's so many question marks and make a little more money. There's also no income tax there, which is kind of cool, but, you know, for sure. And I did that. And I will never hate on someone going to get the bag, like you said. But I also think winning helps everybody. I agree. And winning helps your bank account.

And winning helps everything. So you also have to, money is the root of all evil too. So, is he still, is Tyree Kill still on Miami? Yeah. Yeah. Because I'm actually going to the Colts in Dolphins game on Sunday. Oh, did I, did I inspire you to go show the Colts in love? Yeah.

Yeah. And like I couldn't travel with the team. And like one of my best friends from A.U. Ball, she's married to Zach Seeler, who is, he's like a really good. He sacks the quarterback. What is that? A D-9? Yeah, Sophie, lock in.

They are an awesome, awesome family. Love that. Well, anyways, I think that'll be good. They'll probably push you on the Jumbotron and go just plant those Indianapolis roots, you know? Show them that you care. And it's good. Dude, so who are you like looking forward to, though?

Like, I haven't, I've kind of been in my own world. So, like, what do I need to be watching out for for week one? Week one, I just now, to be so honest, like, this is crazy and super spoiled, but I the Chiefs just whatever they do in the regular season I don't

put all my fucking coins into it because they they peak in December and then they turn shit up when the playoffs start like they can do it and they can do it. Yes, I agree. I think with the Chiefs you always want to see how they drafted and see

if there's any rookies that are going to like ball out and I think they're this is going to be like super random for you but yeah they're after the left tackle who I think is going to be really good from Ohio State and some skill players across the board and so you kind of just like see how Andy Reid like peels back to layers and test things out and then we'll sit on stuff until the playoffs but for me it's just like

for me it's just like the camaraderie of football season people just tailgating going out, going to bars, going to games, traveling away. Like, it just is, it's lovely. So. Hey, and for our listeners, I think we're going to go to a couple games and maybe do a couple live shows. I think it's in the works. So that'd be kind of fun.

People are dying. Dude, people are dying for us to come on a voice and merch. Say what? And we're going to do a, we should do an episode from Andy's bus. Yes. On top of the bus. The cool bus. I think to kick football off.

you're going to do a little Chiefs trivia. Oh, you and I. I'm going to be so bad at this. I didn't write these questions. These were our boy Kevin. West, you're going to know like all these.

I'm not going to know anything. Kevin told me that they're really hard. So. All right. You ready? Right. Yeah. The Chiefs to feed the 49ers and took home the title in Super Bowl

LIV. I think it's 50. That was Super Bowl 50. what color was the Gatorade bath after the win? A, purple, B, orange, C, red, or D, yellow. I've got it between two.

Yeah, it's not purple. I think it is purple. I would. Oh, is it if? I'm going A. Okay, well, I think I'm going to go D, yellow. It's orange. Damn it.

All right. Oh, no. B, orange. All right. That's fair. Screw that one up. That's okay. Okay, I got number two. Yeah.

Patrick Mahomes is the fastest quarterback in NFL history to reach. How many passing yards? My first thought is you just go the first one, because, like, if he was choosing that fast, but I don't think 10,000. I'm going to go C, 20,000. I don't really know. I think I'm going to go B.

20,000 C, all right, that's one. Question three. He won a national championship at Texas in 2005 alongside freshman teammate Vince Young. Who is his former chief all-pro running back? A, Priest Holmes, B, Jamal Charles, C, Derek Johnson, D. Larry Johnson. Well, again, I don't even know how old I was in 2005, but I kind of feel like a Johnson is calling my name. So I'm going to have to go see Derek Johnson. A Johnson is calling your name.

Whoa. I can tell you C is going to be wrong. Derek Johnson played the linebacker, so this won't be him. I said D, not C. Oh, D, whatever. Larry Johnson, he went to play state. No, I'm kidding. I told I said C. I said C. I'm going to go be Jamal Charles.

Even though Priest Holmes also went to Texas, I think Jamal Charles, fuck. You know what? No, because three soloms played for the chiefs in the early 2000. So I'm going to go Jamal. I'm going to go Jamal and Hope. Yeah, I'm going to go Jamal Charles B. Yeah, I agree. All right.

Dude, some people just have these brains and you have this brain. Well, I, like, I'm really good. I'm really good at where people went to college because I care about it. So, I don't even know if I have a brain. Oh, my gosh. You're really good at this. No. All right.

No, for real. Okay. Number four. And Netflix's Happy Gilmore, too. Travis Kelsey fires Bad Bunny from his restaurant after the, after he offers PGA prok offer Jordan Spife. Is that how you say it? Speath. Speath?

Well, I'm going to say Spife. Kind of like I said, Giselle. Which item below? A salad, B, bread, C, champagne, D. Lobster. Okay, so I watched Ivy Gilmore too, but I was not locked in at all. So I actually don't know the answer, but I'm going to go a salad. I'm going to count. This isn't count.

I was on medication when I watched this. You end up hell with weekend gold tickets to Lassau, Montreal. Thomas Rhett and Sons. Will he be pierce and more?

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 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 and 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 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? Actually, nobody likes that. As we get ready for the Men's World Cup this summer, listen to American Football as part of the My Coutura 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 Barza? From everyday 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. This life has an order perfect and all is just I'm going to

pressurably but we're going to connect. We are here to connect. The Chicharito. Oh Javier Rangelo. And together

with Iha 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 Podcast or whatever you get your podcast. That's even more the reason to pay attention. I do feel like

it'd be something simple. You go salad. I'll go bread. All right. Be bread. I love. Here we go. What is the average price of a beer at Arrowhead Stadium?

Oh, wow. A, 797, B, A55, C, 920, D, 1041. So I did see this on Twitter the other day, and it was a list in order of all the NFL stadiums from least expensive to most expensive beer prices. And the chiefs were like very moderate. but I'm trying to remember what the moderate was. I kind of, it's either B or C, though. I'm going to go B again.

I was going to go B, so then I'll go go S. Well, we could just go, we'll both be right. You want to go B together? Yeah. Let's do that. Let's do be together, 855. Fuck me.

Oh. All right. Here we go. In the early 2000s, Dante Hall nicknamed the human joystick for his profound kick, return play, spent one season in NFL, Europe, before returning to Kansas City. Which team did he play for? A, the Amsterdam Admirals. I do you know this is a thing. B, the Hamburg C. Devils. C, the Scottish Claymore's,

or D, the Frankfurt sausage? Is this a fake? Is this a fake question? D's got to be fake. The Frankfurt Sausages. But is there even an NFL Europe? Yeah. We have a lot of dudes who play there. It's just like kind of you don't want to give up the dream. So you just go to Europe and get your housing paid for it and play football all over Europe.

There's no way that there's a team called the sausages. I'm going to go Amsterdam Admirals. And that just feels right to me. What the fuck? Are you guys sure this is real? Is our producer messing with us? Okay, well, I guess I'll go, I'll go to Sea Devils. The Scottish Claymore's, damn, it's beautiful.

Okay, last one, and I'm getting my ask kit. Fifteen years ago, Patrick Mahomes appeared in the Junior League Baseball World Series Championship game, now known at the Little League World Series on ESPN, representing Tyler Texas. He recorded the game's first RBI. What team did he play against? A, Seoul Korea. B, Toronto, Canada.

C, Taipei, Taiwan, and D, San Juan, Puerto Rico. Dude, you know what? They love baseball in Korea. Not that they don't in Puerto Rico. but they love baseball in Korea. I'm going to lock in Seoul, South Korea. Somewhere I'd like to go on vacation soon,

so I'm going to go Puerto Rico. Wow. Fun. I don't even know what our final score was. I know I had one. I think I had two. I'm number one, baby. Hey, let's go play Flipcup two rounds to see if I can catch up.

Perfect. Good callback. Um, with that, I think we hop right into our new segment called Tell Me Something. And we set up a voicemail for people to just like ask a shit. And it's a 573 area code number, which is dope. And I think we're just going to answer some questions from people who called us. I hope it's not my mom.

Is it her just saying she loves us and hopes we're having a good day? Or it's your mom while she's delivering Lindsay's baby and like everything that goes into play with that. She's dilated. just on voicemail. There, here we go. My name is Elizabeth, and I'm from Missouri, and I have a question and a challenge for Sophie. My question is, who is your least favorite player to guard in the league?

And my challenge is, I challenge you to a game of horse. Okay, Elizabeth. Okay, Lizzie. She sounds like that. No, that makes me nervous. I would think, when I just think of just people who, I just feel hopeless against, I would have to say, John Quill Jones from New York.

She's just so strong and tall and just good. So I'm going to have to go there because I just kind of get put in that position as like a small four to maybe sometimes guard her and it's just never good. And then a game of forest girl, I'm so down. You sound confident. I like that. It kind of makes me nervous. What would be your first shot?

Are you going to go trick shot or are you just going to go like left-handed layup? You keep it simple. I want to know something. I beat so many people off layups. And if you do them enough, people will miss. Right hand. They're strong hand too. So, like, I'll do some jumpers.

I'll do threes. I might do a couple trick shots. But when it comes down to their last letter, I stick with layups because I get in their head so much and they miss on layups, on their last letter every time. It's an incredibly interesting take, but that's good. I think I'm psycho.

I like to mentally break people down. That's awesome. That's killer instinct. Maybe that's why I've never kept a boyfriend. I would do granny shots and behind the back. All right, here we go. This is from John. You ready?

Mm-hmm. Hey, guys, John here. Hey, we also wanted to see what she thought about the upcoming game between Missouri and Kansas for the first time at a long time. and Sophie hanging in there, girls, root for all you girls over there. Be good.

Fuck yeah, John. I'm Mr. Brideson. Fucker you. Fuck can you. God, I love that shit. I'll give you the floor. I'll give you the floor. If my knee was good,

I'd be jumping around this freaking apartment right now. I'm so pumped for the border war. God, I hate Kansas. I hate them. But inject Mr. Brightside into my damn veins. my God, I'm so hype. So, the Missouri, for everyone who doesn't know,

who's like not from Missouri, Missouri and Kansas hate each other. It was the best rivalry game I've ever seen growing up, football and basketball, all sports, honestly. There's like crazy, crazy civil war ties that we like don't have to get into, but there has been hatred between both states for the longest time.

Even the team's mascots go back to historical, like little militias in Lawrence and in Columbia. I'll say, unfortunately, Missouri was on the wrong side of history when the Civil War issues were unfolding. I think it was like the 1850s, 1860s potentially. But regardless, the hate is there growing up. up. I think I was in I was either in seventh grade or eighth grade.

Missouri is number four. KU is number two. Both I think had like one loss. They played the game at Arrowhead. It was speaking of Chase Daniel, that was his team, Chase Daniel, Jeremy Macklin, Sean Witherspoon, all those dudes. So good. Gosh, we were so good. But it's a, it's a beautiful game. I think the saddest part about all the new conferences are

like we've lost so many games like that. And I can't believe that the game even lost itself. Dude, but I'm so glad they're bringing it back because at the end of the day, it just brings back like just good memories for everyone. You know what I mean? Yeah. And it just like it's the continued tradition.

And like I just watched it 30 for 30 literally yesterday on Catholics versus convicts, the Ohio or Notre Dame versus Miami. Have you heard about that rivalry? Yeah. That was, because Notre Dame's never been in a conference. That one just happened on its own. Like, it's kind of dope. Yeah.

But I watched the whole 30 for 30 and it was awesome. And now, like, I'm so invested that they brought that one back. Like, I love a good border war. And they always get out of hand and I get that. But, like, on both sides, like, yeah, you got to kind of keep them up and when not. But, like, I will, I hate Kansas. Like, and I, Kayla and Shayla, remember? they went to our high school.

They love played there and my cousin goes there. So I have people that I love there. And like if it's not really like basketball or football, or I guess if we're always playing, I will always hate Kansas. But then like I don't really hate Kansas. You know what I mean? Lawrence is a very cute town too.

But sports wise, and I've been detached from the University of Missouri sports for a while, but I will say I was raised to hate Kansas, both my parents, all my family went to Missouri. do they hate Kansas. Everyone where I grew up hates Kansas. It would be a disservice to not care about this game on Saturday.

And so with that, I will say, M-I-Z. You better, because I'll kill you. I'll be having to do a single, a solo podcast for the rest of my life because you're good. Did you guys play them in college? Nope. They wouldn't let us do it because they were too scared to play us. They brought back the men's game, but they wouldn't, they wouldn't, the women didn't play each other for some reason. Oh my God, I would have loved every second to that.

But I really, like, I, our family hates Kansas so much that our aunt used to live up there for work. And we would never, we wouldn't pay for gas. Like, we'd always wait to get on the Missouri side to like buy food, gas, all of it. Like, we try to spend at least a minute of money on that Kansas side. I remember when I was a kid that, like, Toronto. college kids had shirts that said Kansas sucks on the front and in the back said and swallows and I remember asking my parents I go what does that mean and my parents are like uh you'll figure it out one day and I was like oh okay but I visually remember

those shirts that said that and like not understanding the joke and begging my parents to tell me what those shirts meant and they would we still have we still have all those t-shirts from when we were little and like Kansas Kansas City or Kansas oh First of all, I wanted those out there. For people who are hearing me shit on Kansas, and they're like, but you're a cheese fan. Chiefs are in Missouri. God, if you don't know that and you're listening to this,

just exit. Kansas City is in Missouri. We don't need your view if you don't know that. So, but I remember, like, they used to have, like, a really, really kind of, like, bigger coach. I don't know if you remember. Like, we would have been, like.

Mangino was his name. Yep. Yep. And, like, the amount of shirts that were, like, frying him. everything. Oh, my God. And just like, oh, there's just some really good shirts made from the border war. But yeah, but Kansas. Let me also, let me also for people who are listening, not from Missouri. Missouri borders Kansas to Kansas's east, to Kansas is to Missouri's west. So it's a very easy drive. There's a big city right in between the two towns, Kansas City, Missouri. So there's a lot of like

overlap. Kansas City is also a big city. There's high schools on the Kansas side, high schools on the Missouri side. Like, we know a bunch of people. people from Kansas. The rivalry is like, yeah, it's so historic and you have to choose aside because even if you didn't go to Missouri or KU, like you have family that went to either.

You have friends that went to both like either and it is a huge deal. And it's just, this is why sports are good. It's schools that hate each other. And it's going to be beautiful. It's in Columbia. Yeah,

our little cousin is now on the Missouri football team, but his older brother goes to KU. and so I'm like like who are you choosing? Are you going to go with family? Are you going to go with your school? It's going to be interesting. I'm fucking mad for it.

But all right, do you have another question? I don't know. That might be it. Oh yeah, we got one more. All right. Here we go. I also forgot to mention Montana State played Oregon on Saturday. We lost, but it's okay.

Door rush this weekend, guys, lock in. All right, here we go. Last question of the day. Lock in. Sovian West, West and Sophie, you wonderful people, you ridge runners from Missouri. I need some love advice. I met a woman at a conference for work recently.

Pause, it's going to be about dating. Let's go. This is going to be so awesome. He gets to give dating advice. Does he know who he's talking to? I just started. Ridgers from Missouri. I need some love advice.

I met a woman at a conference for work recently. that happened to be targeted at churches. She works at one of those churches. I do not. We started going out and have been hooking up since. I digger. I think she thinks me. She lives out of state and is flying in this weekend for Labor Day.

How dumb is this? Could we keep enjoying it? And Steve Reden, love you guys. You've done a great podcast. Take care. First off, you probably couldn't have called two worse people, I guess, for this advice. we're both going to tell you keep hooking up. No, I was going to say West is going to say definitely keep hooking up,

but talk to other girls on the side. No, you said you're both having fun. She's flying in and you guys like each other. There's something really hot about people who work together, because it's a little taboo. It's kind of frowned upon. Should you tell HR, should you not? Should we keep it a secret from our coworkers?

and you guys met at a conference also hot. Keep doing it and see what happens. As long as you're, just don't start lying. If someone higher up says, hey, she's got a twinkle in her eye when she's around you, we can all see it. Just don't lie about it. Keep it 100 and have some fun,

especially if you guys have more conferences. What if you guys have a conference in, I don't know, maybe Tampa in a few months? You guys can go do a little boat day, drink some marg. you are running with this. There's no way. Weiss doesn't even put this much ever into his dates.

And he's already planning a fucking Tampa trip for you guys. This is why you shouldn't ask us. The trips are being planned for them. That's kind of what I'm saying. Like it's these conferences. That's fun. Wait.

Two thumbs up for me. My mind goes, like conferences, when people meet up, it always makes me nervous. I feel like there's always like, are they dating? someone back home, are they actually married? That's good.

Like that? Dude, you just went on a fucking five-minute spiel, not even thinking about that. No, but I mean, that's a question you have to ask yourself, but if they're both behaving correctly, then that question's answered. Like, if they're both single, yeah, like, yeah, like, see, it's, yeah, that's fun.

Like, see, dry it out. You're like, you could maybe be married one day, but... I just, comages make me nervous. I feel like a lot of people cheat at conferences, and I'm not for cheaters. Like, yeah, it's black and white for me. But I think if you're not, go have fun.

Why would you not? Like, continue to, if you guys enjoy each other and all that time, stuff, that you guys bring each other good joy in your life, then continue it. Why not? I know an Applebee's haste to see y'all coming

if the conferences are in the Midwest. Ooh. Oh. Or Chili's, or Chili's even? Dude, apple bees and chilies sounds so good. Dude, chilies? Damn, I'm hungry. A triple dipper?

Oh. That sounds so good. I love cheese and mozzarella sick right now. Dude. And like a beer and like a frosty mug. You know what? I think right now a good, a good margarita has been sounding so good to me. but I also like a beach and a boat also sounds good.

But like... Oh, do you try to knock out all three? Margarita with a mozzarella stick from Chili's? Fuck. I'm down. Fuck, that was fun. Oh, my God. Should we join them if they go to Tampa and they go on a boat?

He didn't leave his name, but DM us and say that the next time you guys are getting dinner, which again, probably at Chili's in like a Midwest town, but if it is Tampa, we'll come to you. Just let us know. unless you're married then we're against it wait what is it like you have a thruple

what is it for oh I guess it just be what do you mean yeah yeah yeah because there'd be four of us oh my god

yeah I would not for dating in life our longest recording ever um are you Sophie are you officially

are you officially off pain meds or are you easing off them as we speak. No, I'm officially off. I debated one last time, maybe doing a lax div again. I think you should. Really get me cleaned out. I don't think so, but I just want to end this podcast that I enjoy a lot of things in life and I love a lot of things. I'm not really a hater. Like, I don't take a lot of things too seriously, but I absolutely fucking hate Kansas. Boom, see ya. American soccer is exploded.
