Starting point is 00:02:48 Rockbridge High, Rockbridge High, Rockbridge Low, Rockbridge, Rocks, wherever we go. Southside, would it do? Yeah. That was made up my sophomore year. Was it really? I love that. But so, yeah, we're going to see where this podcast goes. There's going to be a little bit of WNBA talk, a little bit of pop culture talk, maybe some fashion, food, travel.
Starting point is 00:03:22 It's wide open. But yeah, a little Mo. And speaking of Mo, the name of this podcast is to show me something podcast. Yeah. And it's not because I have it tattooed on my wrist. Did I not know. Yeah. I was drunk at a dinner.
Starting point is 00:03:38 And they had a tattoo booth. Dude, I would have a tattoo too. You had the waves. Sober for that one? Is it somewhere in over a room? No. What's that? No, this is our family tat.
Starting point is 00:03:50 Our whole family has this. You. We like to go to. the beach, drink, hang out. Like mom, sister, aunt, cousins, uncle, everyone has it. Hell yeah. My dad won't get it. I was going to say you're dead.
Starting point is 00:04:01 He said it. Like, sweet early. Where's Paula's? Same. Everyone's is right here. Oh, sick. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:06 Well, I can't get it then because I'm already, I've got the space occupied. Are you trying to be part of the family? Good and would. But so I think we're just going to, we're going to let it fly. Let's do it. And see where things go. Yeah. But I will say we are in the middle of.
Starting point is 00:04:23 The WNBA season. Yeah. So you're going to be the star of the first year episodes because there's a lot going on in your world. Facts. Facts. Yeah. People being fined, fights, highlights. Is that all me?
Starting point is 00:04:35 Are we just talking about me at this point? Yeah. But you're, okay, you just told me you've been in Indiana for three months. Yeah. How's the transition? It's hard to know your relationship with the city until you're here for a lot of year. No, a thousand percent. Because I was with Phoenix for the past six years, seven years almost.
Starting point is 00:04:52 And I don't. loved it out there. Like, it was just so much different. I'm such a, like, outside pool girl. I think you know that. And so I loved it out there. But it was just time for a switchup. And so when I got traded here, I literally got here very, very end of April, early May. And so I've loved it. Like, I've missed the Midwest people. I've missed the culture. People are just so nice here. Food's good. I get meatloaf really, like, wherever I go. Like, I've had meatloaf in so long. The West Coast don't eat meatloaf. Yeah, I wouldn't, yeah. They eat like rabbits. Rabbits. Just fine. But I miss my meatloaf. And so I'm just happy to be back here. And like the team is phenomenal. Some of the best teammates I've had in a really long time.
Starting point is 00:05:32 So like I'm actually happy. I'll just get this out of the way because I know people will be interested. Yeah. One of your teammates, arguably one of the biggest stars the WNBAs ever had. Who's that? Her name rhymes like Schmaitland. Hurtland? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:50 What has that been like seeing her not only? kind of transform a league, but also just be like, is that fair to say? Not even just the league, but like women's basketball as a whole around the world. No, I think it's awesome. I think it's so funny because she's like 22, 23 years old and the whole world is watching her. Yeah. Like it is a cult following. I'm not kidding.
Starting point is 00:06:10 No, it's wild. The airport today. Insane. It was like 22 everywhere. Anywhere you go, like it is a home game wherever we play. No way. Security with her 24-7. Like people are outrageous.
Starting point is 00:06:22 Like think of the. most famous person that you know or have met times of I 10, 20. It's insane. I mean, she had like A-Lewa celebs in Iowa City, Iowa to watch Iowa. Exactly in Iowa. Travis Scottwind. My brother went to Iowa, Seville Hawks. I mean, we're from Missouri, so I think we can. Yeah. I mean, I got in trouble for talking smack on Detroit, Cincinnati or was it Cleveland. It was Cleveland. And then you try to make it up by talking about Bob. You said, do you like Boston. I loved Boston. I really do like Boston. I was just saying if you're going to like expand our league, then like go put it in Nashville. You know how much fun people would have in Nashville and then like Miami?
Starting point is 00:06:55 You're next to the beach. Like people are going to be excited to go there. I'm not saying that people from Detroit or Cleveland are bad people. People literally took it like that. I'm like, you guys are being freaking drama. That's the internet though. I know. That's how the internet works.
Starting point is 00:07:07 You know a little bit something about that. I do. But I think it's also ironic that most me. Kagan Clark plays for the Indiana fever. Yeah. Which I don't know if a lot of people would consider Indiana to be the biggest. But, I mean, it is now. It is.
Starting point is 00:07:24 Wouldn't you say? Because of her. Literally. Yeah. But we, you know, we love the Midwest. We love what we're from. What's playing with Caitlin been like for you? Or like, what's something that her as a teammate, like, not something that's like on ESPN, but.
Starting point is 00:07:37 Dude, she's just goofy. Yeah. Like, she's goofy. And, like, I think that's the, everyone expects her to be a certain way. And she is on the court. But, like, she's just, she's a, she's a, she's low-key a kid. Like, she's 23 years old. Like, she's like my little cousin.
Starting point is 00:07:49 You know what I mean? And so it's been fun just to kind of like, see where she's had in her career and whatnot. But I promise you, she's like so chill. She doesn't care. She's always in sweats and a sweatshirt. Like, she literally does not care. Has her game made, like, change the way you play?
Starting point is 00:08:05 I like made you better. Well, I just think that, like, the style of basketball is, like, more of an motion offense, which is, like, right on my alley. For someone who cuts and can shoot the ball, like, that I am freaking licking my chops every single game she plays. Because when she draw so much attention, dude, cutting, shooting, like, does. So, like, yes, of course. But I think she's a type of player who makes everyone player, or everyone better, who's you, everyone player. We need to talk about how we always knew you were going to be famous, but we just didn't know how or when.
Starting point is 00:08:37 Yeah. Because you were like big man on campus. And the hell didn't work out. Damn it. But you were a star in high school football? I thought so. Track. You were fast.
Starting point is 00:08:45 Thought so. Thank you. No, for real, especially for a white boy? Come on. Say less, dude. Let's go. Cooper DeGine just got a. put in the top 100 NFL players.
Starting point is 00:08:54 Did you see that? He's the white cornerback from Iowa. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Are you comparing yourself to him? No, no, but no one, there hasn't been a white cornerback in like 20 years. And he's just crushing. It's kind of crazy. Good for him.
Starting point is 00:09:09 High school. I was in student council, too. People don't know that. So were you. No. Yeah. Yeah, I was a class prep. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:17 I was just there to get out of class, really. Get out of class. Throw the themed parties. Yeah. Our theme parties were freaking banger. Actually, we need to talk about our field parties. Farm parties? Yes, dude.
Starting point is 00:09:29 Yeah. I'm surprised my dad actually let me throw two of them. I know, and I had to go home with your dad and you. The one time the cops got called. Because he's like, scattered you with me. I was like, oh, what did I do? Someone called it in, and we still don't know. I think I know who did, but.
Starting point is 00:09:45 Because they weren't invited. Which I wasn't, I'm not the type to, like, not invite people to parties. No. I am considered myself inclusive. But it was, no, because it was that. It's actually crazy that our high school had a club called Sigma Gamma. Remember? That was dumb as hell.
Starting point is 00:10:01 But it was for those girls. And they like threw parties. No, I think it's dumb. I wasn't a part of that. That wasn't cool enough. But I was busy winning state championships. Look at me now. True.
Starting point is 00:10:14 So true. Instead of drinking. No, I was drinking. No, I know you're drinking. Those were awesome. Andy Turner. probably is who I think of when we think of farm parties. Okay, so let's like clue them in a little bit. Farm parties were from Missouri. And so like in the city, we would have like house parties and
Starting point is 00:10:31 whatnot, but they'd always get busted. Yeah. And they're hot. Yeah, they were. They were just like too many people down in the basement. And so we'd go out to people who had a bunch of land and they were the most fun. The Evans, remember? Yeah. Evans, Andy. He tried to, Josh Evans tried to fight me one time at his barn. Tell us more. I was, I like texted, he was dating Natalie Haim. Oh yeah. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:10:55 Yeah, and I texted her like, he definitely has a type. He definitely has a type. He got so mad. And I played it like, nonch long. I was like, dude, chill out. That's stupidest story I've ever heard of. Andy Turner, big farm parties. And these was like an hour away and people would find D's.
Starting point is 00:11:15 So fun. Key. Yes. And then just roll out for an hour to a barn. Well, I remember Audrey and I, we were out there one time, multiple times, but there was one specific time. And we were, like, out there to, like, 3 a.m., got up on a table and broke that really big wooden table because us two got up there dancing. One time he wanted to kick people out and he fired a shotgun into the air. Dude, I was there.
Starting point is 00:11:38 Yeah. And I knew that he was about to do that, but I didn't think he was actually going to do for us. Get people out of your party, you shoot a shotgun in the air. Legally. Yeah. Okay, but back to you. Seriously, we always knew that you were going to be famous. And now you're on freaking Bravo for Summerhouse.
Starting point is 00:11:56 How did that even come about? I don't even know. I didn't even really know what Bravo was. And you watch, do you watch Summerhouse or other stuff? No, I, well, so like growing up, I would watch different shows, but I didn't know it was with Bravo. I only really started watching Bravo. And I didn't even know what Summer House was until you were on it. I mean, I literally didn't.
Starting point is 00:12:14 I didn't either. Yeah. So, where did it? We trip were for a long time. Yeah. Layed off. Which I kind of feel like that would be a cool job, though. It was awesome.
Starting point is 00:12:23 Yeah. Everything was great. And then one day. Why did you get laid off? They laid off a lot of people, but I mean. What girl did you text this time? No, it wasn't even a girl. They let off a lot of people.
Starting point is 00:12:36 But I mean, I was like a very, I was traveling, going to like, different sporting events, doing whatever. Yeah. And like, I think my expenses were probably, like, more than my salary was. It was, like, airport hotel club. us another club blah blah blah blah they not cover it they do but i just mean i would have been an expensive person to like keep around oh and if they thought my they needed less of me they were like it would make sense to get rid of me i can see you spending a lot of money uh at a certain
Starting point is 00:13:02 especially once you get drunk not you can't spend money you can't spend you can't use your corporate card while you're drinking for the most part i mean i did once or twice probably uh but but it was to a point though where i was like not live i wasn't even in New York because I was always gone and I was like I'm gonna I'm not gonna like order a salad and drink water yeah every restaurant I go to like I'm gonna like go see a friend and like have dinner yeah but that's not again so that's why you got fired no no I just mean I was like expensive so it makes sense and they I'll give them a shout out to great severance after like they took care of me after they laid me off good but now you're with complex great company also yeah and I feel like you're killing you there like and you're gonna meet a a lot of cool freaking people doing that job too. Yeah, it was awesome. Yeah. Tom Brady a few weeks ago.
Starting point is 00:13:54 Did you really? No big deal. How much Botox does he have? He probably does, but he's very handsome. I think I like more like a manly man. I don't want my man having a rip from Yellowstone. No, like a don't have Botox in your head anywhere. Well, I'd get that.
Starting point is 00:14:13 Like, you'll find a guy like that here probably. I'm good. You know how high school? teams are like no no dating during season can you do college was like I feel like college high school and college was kind of like that why did you missou what was her name robin penchton yeah yeah but like if you look back who who cares but also you're surrounded by because you're in school and in the same under the same department you're like always around other so I just mean I could see how they would want to protect you and yeah but like
Starting point is 00:14:48 Unless it's like toxic or something, then I totally get that. Like, then you shouldn't be with them. But like if it's fun and whatever, who cares? Yeah. Yeah. Did you date people in college? Yeah. All the time.
Starting point is 00:15:00 No, time out. Dating, I'm talking about dating like just with one person. Um, did I have a girlfriend in college? Well, you know who I kind of still dating for a while? I already know, but go ahead. Yeah. I'm not dropping names on this. Not right now.
Starting point is 00:15:17 She's doing fine. She is. She's great. Are you guys still in contact? No. Why? But that lasted. Oh, because.
Starting point is 00:15:24 No. But that lasted into college for a while. Do you know what I was just thinking? Yeah. That gets cut. So, yeah, I kind of like kept that alive for a while. And then take your moment. Oh, my God, I'm sweating.
Starting point is 00:15:43 I'm actually doing okay. I'm not good at, like, I'm not good at being. vulnerable or feeling your emotions. Having beef with people. Oh, yeah. No, I don't really feel like you're a beef type of person. But honestly, you did catch some major beef after season one. Dude, what have you learned about that?
Starting point is 00:16:03 Like, for real. Like, I think it's different when people can meet you in person. Because I feel like we both can relate to this and like everyone has so many things to say about us. But then once they meet you in person, like, oh, you're actually not like that at all. or like, oh, you're a lot more chill or like you're a lot more whatever. But like you got a lot of slack after season one. Yeah, Doug, I was fucking at war.
Starting point is 00:16:26 Dude. Damage control. I mean, that was really hard. And I'd never experience anything like that ever. Yeah. I don't think anyone can be prepared for anything like that. Yeah. You would be dumb, though, one to not look in the mirror
Starting point is 00:16:44 and like, it's such a crazy situation that like, and obviously there's so. so many people who have opinions. Yeah. You shouldn't ignore everything. Like, if a lot of people are upset with you, there's probably a reason. Yeah. But it's also reality TV, so you don't know what was cut, what was actually said, what the actual relationship was.
Starting point is 00:17:01 Yeah. So I was trying to give you, like, the benefit of the doubt. Yeah. There are some things. But, like, no one's perfect. So you're fine. Right. But I just think, um, the internet is like a dangerous spot.
Starting point is 00:17:12 But that was honestly, I think good for me in that sense that it was so intense. Yeah. The first year I did it, I don't think it's really going to ever be like that ever again. So you feel like season two was much more, what was the vibe of season two? I enjoyed season two. Just chilling. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:28 I just mean it was such a, the highs and lows in my first year doing it. We're so crazy that here we are. I will say, though, I've been doing shit on the internet though for a while. So I kind of have like seen how the internet works. And like, it's not the first time someone has like said something to meet. You know what I mean? No, for sure. So we're good.
Starting point is 00:17:48 Yeah. Uh. Yeah, I don't get fined, though. I do. I know. But I also blow up on the internet because I fought someone. So. Which is so sick.
Starting point is 00:18:00 Honestly, it is funny. It is funny. In, like, for good reason. Yeah. Well. Wasn't she? Yeah. Let me just tell people the story real quick from, because I don't think I've gotten to really tell
Starting point is 00:18:12 my point of view of things. Yeah. It's like, you, you have seen. players in our league try to like toughen up Caitlin we call her CC CC for even when I wasn't on her team like I like I know the talks that Phoenix had in the locker room of like no we're going to prove her we're going to show her what the W really is you know what I mean and like I get it to a certain extent and like every rookie coming into a league that's how you're going to treat them but there's just more for her so it's her second year and like now being on her team and like
Starting point is 00:18:43 seeing it like what are people doing like actually just it's just too much, too much. And like, you're, it's just, I'm over. And if I'm saying it's too much, then it's probably too much. No, that's so far. Like, that's fair, right? Yeah. And so, we were playing Connecticut and, like, there's just one thing after another. And like, did you all have a little beef before the game? No. There was none. No. Like, oh, actually, the girl who I did do that to, she did chip my tooth. But I wasn't worried about it. In a different game? Yeah, the game before. So we play them all, like, four times the first time we played them. And she didn't mean to do it, but, like, she, she, she, she, chipped my tooth.
Starting point is 00:19:17 You already got it fixed? Yeah. Smile? Yeah, look, I can even tell. Can you tell? Thank you. Yeah, you can. It's a little discolored.
Starting point is 00:19:23 Discolored? Yeah, a little bit. What part of her body chipped your tooth? Well, actually, I'll show you guys the picture, but it, like, we like literally cracked teeth in the middle of the game. It's like face to face. It's like. Ow. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:36 Did they know our mouthpieces? I get the good. I'm kidding. I hated it. No. No, I don't wear an office. Theft hurry does. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:19:45 Okay. No. So, anyway. So there, but I didn't care. Like, that wasn't why that happened. You know what I mean? And so. But is there any substance in that it set the tone that this was going to be a little physical matchup possibly?
Starting point is 00:19:56 Just in that game in general, there's just like, there's a couple players on their team that are just do do a little bit extra stuff like just chippy talking like you're, it's, you're professional athlete. Like that's what happens. Right. I feel like you see it more because you, they people act like this towards. Yes, a thousand percent. Now it would be annoying. Oh, it is. And so, so I finally like, this was like.
Starting point is 00:20:17 We're like 14 games in. And so, like, that game, I just thought, I was kind of hungry. I know I was a little tired. Like, I'm not even going to lie to you. I was hungry and tired. I was over people's shit. Oh, that's awesome. So in the first half, the rest didn't call.
Starting point is 00:20:32 Someone should have been thrown out. And the rest did not call it. Correct. I remember that. They didn't. And so I was like, all right. You got full body chested late. Shoot by three people.
Starting point is 00:20:39 Yeah. Like two people, they're like, oh, it's fine. I'm like, if that's anyone else, you would have, I would have been booted out the game. I know that for sure. I'm a little sassy, but like, so are they? Your leash is shorter, though, because they're... Literally. I don't even have a leash. I just have a freaking collar and a hand on it. Anyway, so there was like 45 seconds left.
Starting point is 00:20:59 The girl stole the ball, and I was running back, and I was like, we're up. I don't need a foul. And I was like, just let her go. And I was like, all right, like, who cares? Last second, intrusive thoughts. I was like, fuck it. And I, like... At first, I just tried to, like, hold her and, like, put her... It looks like... Just let me explain. And I know what it looked like.
Starting point is 00:21:16 I got her. But at the very end, and I'm not saying this is what cost it, but she dipped a little bit. Like she was, but she did dip. And then brought up myself like, oh, shit, like my bad. Not really my bad. And then they both came out and I was like, fuck it. Come. Did you get fined for that?
Starting point is 00:21:30 Yeah, like $900. Which like our fines are a joke. The coolest part about that fight is that your face. I didn't care. Was stone cold. Dude, but that's what I'm saying is. It was so sick. I think.
Starting point is 00:21:41 It was so sick. People legit are like, oh. Oh, it's all, I'm like, dude. That was real. You had her like, I didn't even have her by the hair. I feel like girls are kind of like, it's always hair. It's always hair. I'm like, in my mom, Paula, she's always like, if you're going to do something, don't be catty.
Starting point is 00:21:59 Don't go to the hair. Like, you better. You're going to do it, do it. She's saying it's like cheap. Yeah. Yeah. And so I grabbed her by the neck. But I was calm, cool, and collective.
Starting point is 00:22:07 No. I knew about it. If you're going to do something to her, then do it. And you got tossed. And it was two on one. Yeah, I got tossed. Did she? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:14 Yeah. Then we're good. An I-Hart Radio experience. Weekend gold tickets to Ilsoni. One, two, three. Dom Dalla, Chris Lakin' Friends, Woolly, Deadmouse, above and beyond, sub-focus, and more. With flights from Porter Airlines,

Starting point is 00:27:28 I was like, dude, I got you. Like it's, but I think that kind of had our team come together as a whole. And it's like, no, we had to have. Like, it was. Yeah. No, it really was, though. Like, I feel like everyone was like, you know, like, we do have to protect each other. and like...
Starting point is 00:27:40 Can I ask you something so insane? Sure. Does it feel like that's... Is that your moment of our in the WMBA? Yeah, which is crazy. They were like... That's not even insane. Hundreds of fan edits.
Starting point is 00:27:51 Dude, I'm not even saying. I went from, I went from, I think, like... Oh, followers, yeah. 350,000 and like maybe 200,000 on TikTok. You had 200,000 on TikTok a month ago? No, no, no. Before the fight. Before the fight.
Starting point is 00:28:06 And then I had like 350 on 100,000 on TikTok. Instagram over over the night or over like a day and a half, over a million on both. Insane. I, this is coming from me though, dude. I got tired of seeing myself. I get it. And I love myself. Oh, I get it.
Starting point is 00:28:23 I love myself. I was over it. I was like, get this bitch off my screen. The edits are sick though because there's like music and it's like it's just so tight. Oh, yeah. But then you, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:36 So yeah, I definitely say that's my moment, which is like I've worked my whole. life to become a WMBA basketball player. And now people know me as WWE. WWE, yeah, fighter. Oh, I didn't know that that was so recent. Because I saw you had a million on TikTok today. Yeah. No, it blew up overnight.
Starting point is 00:28:57 I mean, that's awesome, though. Who did that mean, like, being my natural, feisty, sassy self would put me where God wanted me. Did you get any fights in college? No, dude. I mean, I was chippy. Yeah, yeah, I was definitely chippy. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:08 But, like, I also don't think. I retweeted a bunch of shit in your defense. Someone was like, someone, someone quote tweeted the fight and was like, you're going to try and fight like some, a country girl from Missouri. Like you're going to lose 10 and then times. And I was like, dang on. Armstrong, baby. Well, yeah, I don't have a million dollars anywhere.
Starting point is 00:29:30 So congrats to you. That's fucking sweet. Thank you. That's awesome. Have you, when you post now. I knew you're going to say something like this. Well, are the people that like... Weird as hell? Yeah. But keep going.
Starting point is 00:29:41 Well, do you have... Is it a lot of women or do you ever get like thirsty guys? Is it thirsty guys? It's all old thirsty guys. I didn't want it to be that, but of course it is. Duh. But it's funny because I have asked, so many people are like, oh, like, how do you feel? Like, what do you?
Starting point is 00:29:56 I'm like, dude, I'm still like the biggest dork and dwee people ever in your life. Like, now I just have... Oh, I find it offensive. Someone says, like, have you changed? I'm like, what? Wait, in what way? Maybe my bank account. Yeah, shout out Arby's.
Starting point is 00:30:14 Yeah, I should have brought you some roast base. Yeah, have you been an Arby's person before? Dude, I love Arby's. Really? I do love Arbyes. I'm not even kidding. No, you can love Arbys. I know, it's the sauce.
Starting point is 00:30:26 It's the sauce. We used to go there. And then it just got a bad rap I haven't been. But have you been a lion's choice in St. Louis? We used to have one in Columbia. Yes. Yes, but they got rid of it. Thinly sliced roast beef, but their shit's like, not like nationally manufactured like an Arby's would be.
Starting point is 00:30:43 No, Arby's is, I get their sliders. The Arbyes sliders are banging. Is it roast beef? You can do roast beef, ham and cheese. There's like a buffalo chicken one. And you do a curly fry, obviously. Yeah. It's sick.
Starting point is 00:30:55 Do you know any other hot girls who like Arby's besides you? Damn, the only hot girl that I know so far, but. I could wear the fucking hot dudes or mediocre dudes, whatever the fuck. You could just wear hot girls. Yeah, that's fine. Can you give me like an XL? Dude, yeah. Or double and they'll wash it.
Starting point is 00:31:10 Do you like a little crop top? Oh, God. What? No. What are you? I've just been wearing shorter shirts recently. I think it looks good for my portions. I'm not like that tall.
Starting point is 00:31:25 But what do you mean shorter shorts or shorter shirts? Like it makes your legs look long. I like a baggy shirt. Yeah. Like a boxy fit. Yeah. But if I want to get like a double X. sell. Sometimes it's a little long. Oh.
Starting point is 00:31:39 So I'll just crop it. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Oh. Just an inch or two. I thought you meant like what I would wear. No, but I did do that for a photo shoot last summer and people thought it was cool. It was me eating hot dogs with a shirt that said all dogs go to heaven. I was on the beach. And it was fucking sick. Dude. Okay. Actually, let's talk about, let's talk about this though, because I feel like this is such a thing for I know the league. And now I think you're becoming a little fashionista icon.
Starting point is 00:32:06 I got to get you a banana. Dude, I need one. I want to wear it in the tunnel fit. Oh, my God. I'm not kidding. No, no, I'll make that happen. Please tell me where that came from. Because it's awful, but it's turned good.
Starting point is 00:32:19 Yeah. Okay, thanks. It is funny, though, how the internet works were like, whenever I wore that in an episode, episode aired, first two days. Was that first season? No, this past one. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:31 And everyone's like, who do you think he is? Like, he's not ASAP Rocky. Like, he's fucking stupid. Don't you love how it grinds people's gears? But then you sit on it a little and then someone wears it and tags you. And then it like keeps going. And then it became like such a thing. And then people were like claiming that I started it.
Starting point is 00:32:52 I've never claimed to start the swag. When I was watching that episode, I was like to me, but see you, I'm like, I'm never surprised at what you wear. You know what I paired it with? A Hallie Kern's T-shirt. Oh. Oh my God. Yeah, I do. But just like.
Starting point is 00:33:08 Shout out how they can't. Yeah. But I'm just saying like, I'm never not shot anymore with what you're wearing. That's the hardest hurdle with fashion that you have to do is get to the point where like people know you'll do weird shit and then they receive it well. If you dress fucking normal and then try something, people like don't like it. Yeah. But if you've already kind of like dip your toes, dip your toes, dip your toes, dip your toes. But can I be honest?
Starting point is 00:33:29 Yeah. I feel like you living in New York, people. People dress crazy in New York. Yeah. Yeah, so you can, anything flies. But, like, here in Indiana, if I already do that, they'd be like, what the fuck are you wearing? And I'm like, I don't know. You're right.
Starting point is 00:33:42 But you still can, though, because what you're wearing to a game is going to be like, there's a TV camera by you, so it like works. No, yeah, for sure. But I'm just saying, like, you could wear stuff like street style. You could wear that. And if I wore that street style, like, probably anywhere, people would be like, no. I will say, though, as a, I'm going to say six foot. I'm going to say now. Okay.
Starting point is 00:34:03 Everyone knows it's like five, ten and a half. 511. All females know whatever guy says when it comes to heights. Exactly. When it comes to height minus 2 inches. Okay. Minimum. That's fine. Um, fuck it. I'll say 511. Is that actually it? Yeah. No, it is. Actually. Um, with Tim's, I'm pushing 6-2 if I were Tim's. Okay. That's not bad. But it's like a pretty generic looking average height, like white. Yeah. I had to kind of like get there, you know? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:42 But I was going to ask you, whenever you wear like a tunnel fit. Mm-hmm. And then people are like, oh, Sophie's hot, so if you like, where she's like a fashion tunnel fit chick, are there ever days where like I want to just not wear makeup more sweats to the game? Every day. West. And became you? I mean, I can, but I also know like that's like the fun part of it too.
Starting point is 00:35:02 Yeah. But I will say, like, I do still wear sweats and a sweatshirt, but like, I don't, that's, like, more on the roadway games. But, like, home games, I'm always going to be dressing up. And, like, L.A., New York, Chicago, all, like, the kind of more fun cities, like, you're going to dress up. Interesting. Yeah. So there's, like, a method to my madness. I wish that I had the energy to dress up all the time.
Starting point is 00:35:26 No, I wouldn't. But I cannot. But I cannot. And I don't care. I don't care enough. I think that's my issue. Yeah, but you do care on certain days. Yeah, if I've had enough sleep.
Starting point is 00:35:37 Right, but that doesn't happen every time. No. How many days advanced are they planned out? Well, I maybe. Would you say, I believe you had a stylist or not? Yeah, I do have a stylist, but I only use her for certain things. Things, yeah. And, like, there's, I think you would definitely tell when I have a stylist and when I don't.
Starting point is 00:35:56 Not the Arby's T-shirt? That was all me. I know. Yeah. That was pretty simple. Yeah, it was easy. But I did ask her. I was like, should I go gray shorts or black shorts?
Starting point is 00:36:05 Thanks. And then Black was the hit. And then Venmote her fucking $1,000. Probably like $5,000. Oh. Do you have a stylist? I've gotten help before. Good.
Starting point is 00:36:17 No, I do. She's great. You need a lot of help. For me, it's more like time. Yeah. You know? Well, and I hate shopping. I actually hate shopping.
Starting point is 00:36:24 That she also, like, I think she gets me and knows that we can like do weird shit here in there and we'll like come up with something together. Feel that. Feel that. I've seen, and I'm not going to name names, but I've seen stylists work with people and it's just like, here's eight shirts, FaceTime me before you go to dinner and let's choose like what colored pants and it's like stupid. No, I want like I can do that.
Starting point is 00:36:48 I can be the stupid, but I need someone to actually make me look good. Yeah. To for real. But and get the shit. Well, yeah. Yeah. When you're like busy. Do you have like weird?
Starting point is 00:36:58 Okay, let's talk about this. Is there? Do you feel like your body type is weird that, like, you can't pull certain things off, even though it looks good on other people, but you try it and it's like... That definitely, I've heard 9,000 women say that to me when I'm like, they're all, like, pretty girls who, like are normal looking, but they're like, I can't wear t-shirts because of my body. Let me guess. They look like this. They're twig. Yeah, they're all.
Starting point is 00:37:20 They're all great. That's all the girls you hang out with. No, that's not true. Anyway. The one I'm thinking of does not have fake tits. Oh, the only one? No. New York's not a fake boobs city.
Starting point is 00:37:30 You tend to find them. I think you're thinking of not New York. Do you know where there's a lot of fake tits? The leg of the Ozarks. Oh, yeah. Way more than New York. Show me, baby! I, again, because I have this show me tattoo on me, I've shown it to multiple people and they go,
Starting point is 00:37:47 does that mean like, show me your tits? I'm like, dude, come on. It's your mind out of the gutter, but maybe. Yeah, but are you going to? How much have we had to drink? Are you thinking about it? Okay, we're talking about T-shirts, boobs. Off topic.
Starting point is 00:38:00 Oh, but if things fit. No. I try not to wear like, I don't know. But like that's what I said about the shirt. Like I cut it to make my legs look longer kind of thing. Okay, but like if you're interviewing a Tom Brady, like four complex, you get to interview Patrick Mahomes. Yeah. Like what are you, are you like, stylists need you?
Starting point is 00:38:22 Are you like, no, he's going to do this? For those, it's more. Because like the person there is cool, so I don't need to like do something. like to make it about me. But like the Summer House premiere. Then actually, may I say, Summer House premiere last year, full outfit, just me.
Starting point is 00:38:40 You? Yeah. But there are a lot of other things like, you know how we do on the show? They're like the green screen thing. Yeah. I felt really sad. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:49 Those are like, people will screenshot those and people will rank this confessional look like blah, blah, blah. So you kind of got to like. Dude, I can't wait for a lot. to start judging my outfits. When NBA comes around, I cannot wait to judge those guys' outfits.
Starting point is 00:39:05 I'm not kidding. That's like one of my, because some of them are so, they're swagging, they look good. Others, I'm like, so bad. You make 200 million. Why are you wearing that? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:14 I was thinking about Kyle Kuzman with the arm sleeves. Literally where my head went. Yeah. He also did that one time and had like, he dropped like five points or something, and everyone was like, dude, you can't show up like that and then drop five.
Starting point is 00:39:27 Yeah. No, I feel that. Who is like a, a WMBA pioneer for fashion in your eyes. Well, I think this last rookie class had a lot of, like, well, they had a huge freaking platform in college, and so all these brands went after them. So I think of like Rakea Jackson. Right.
Starting point is 00:39:44 You have Cameron Brink, who is like literally stunning. And you could throw a trash bag on her and she rocks it. You know I interviewed at Complex? Actually, Flage. Oh, yeah. Still in college. I've never actually met her, but she's a smaggy little girl. She, um, she, like, likes rapping just as much.
Starting point is 00:40:00 is hooping. Dude, she is a rapper. No, she is, I know. Yeah. We, like, filmed a music video, like, in our studio. Were you in the music video? No, I was, like, helping film it. We were, like, throwing cash, like, above.
Starting point is 00:40:11 It was, like, yeah. Don't like twerking or anything. She was, like, the star. But, to clarify. Hold on. Were you? Are we allowed to talk about you being with Alex Earle? You can, if you want to.
Starting point is 00:40:26 I do. I'm curious. I saw on your story that you were with her. Yeah. What was that? The day was, well, for me, not underwhelming, but, like, she had, like, a little Airbnb. She's got, like, a beverage that she was, like, promoting. Oh, was it good?
Starting point is 00:40:40 That was fine. That meant the beverage. Uh, yeah, it was, I don't even know if I had any. And so there's this place in Montauk, it's called Surf Lodge. Okay. It's, like, kind of sceney, probably, probably overpriced. Um, I'm sure tables and shit are, like, overpriced. Really?
Starting point is 00:41:00 But it's just like, it's like on the water. There's always like a famous DJ. Like it's cool. Like you're there, you should go. Yeah. Was it fun though? Like, was the party fun? Like, here's my thing about social media that always gets me is like we blow all these people up.
Starting point is 00:41:14 And time. We blow all these people up or we show who we're with and what we're doing. But like, is it really that fun? Are they really that cool? Do you kind of get what I'm saying? Of course. Of course. There's a, like.
Starting point is 00:41:28 that's like half of everything like I'm afraid we do I don't know I've posted shit that looks cool and I like didn't have fun yeah however though I typically am like gonna like have fun no I feel like we always find like the positive enjoying like fun and yeah everything we do I will say though once it becomes a part of like this is like what gets scary though is when it becomes a part of your income yeah then you have to well there's a lot of motive to fake it yes you know yeah yeah fake tell you make it um And so that's a thing. Like, I think I'm like 99% sure.
Starting point is 00:42:04 There are girls in New York and fucking probably dudes who like fake post stuff as if it's an advertisement on their Instagram. Ew. It seems as if a brand gave them that or paid them too posted. And I'm not, I don't know that to be a fact, but I've just been like, there's no way. But that's what like, be you. But my biggest thing is like, if. If you want to be somebody, be you. Like, whatever you are.
Starting point is 00:42:32 Be yourself because everyone else is already taken. Oh, did you make that up? I think it's... Are you sweating? James Joyce. Yeah, I'm going to be... Get used to me, dog. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:42 Okay. Speaking of sweating, which I think is so funny, because, like, that's just you. I know. Please tell me about when the AC broke. Dude, okay. The problem is... Because I'm a sweater, too.
Starting point is 00:42:54 Yeah. Like, my feet sweat so bad. Do they? So bad. So bad. Give me. I'm not even a foot guy. Okay.
Starting point is 00:43:03 I'm saying I'm not a foot guy. Put your finger in there. No, I don't have socks on. Oh, dude, not even that bad. Maybe you don't smell. I thought this is what you said.
Starting point is 00:43:17 I mean, they don't smell so good, but. Yeah, I didn't need them to smell. For a year and they smell like that. That's not bad. You're fine.
Starting point is 00:43:24 Thanks. Just a lot worse. Weirdly, the only time that I really feel like is it's going to sound really deep. It's not meant to be. It's okay. Where I feel like really comfortable
Starting point is 00:43:34 with my sweatingness is like if I'm playing sports or working out because that's when I'm that's natural. That's when I'm meant to be sweaty. Yeah. But I am like,
Starting point is 00:43:42 I run hot all the time when I'm talking. I'm hot. When there's lights, I'm hot. And I just get warm. Like I'm a warm guy. Also,
Starting point is 00:43:49 we're in, the humidity here is wild. But I mean, I, it's not just like, I'm not even going to blame the... It's hard to help you.
Starting point is 00:43:56 I know, I know. I'm not going to blame the Midwest humidity. Okay. So, yeah, I got to do, I just hosting NFL network. Which is amazing, first of all. Sick.
Starting point is 00:44:07 Yeah. I try to keep it biased and then I sneak in just like little chiefs probably in that every 10 seconds. Big Chiefs fans here if you guys didn't know. Yeah, fuck off if you're not. Don't watch our show or listen to it. Actually, one day I'm going to, would you board to get Kansas City a WNBA team? Dude, I've tried. It would be so cool.
Starting point is 00:44:28 I've tried. I've tried. We're working on it. I know a lot of people are working on it. I'm pretty sure Patrick is working on it. Yeah. Anyways, so doing NFL network and because it's a situation where I would usually be like pretty warm and like over conscious of how I'm like looking. Yeah. I was like, God damn. I am so hot today for some reason. And like I have long hair now so I can kind of like feel when my hair starts getting wet. I mess with the hair though. I really fuck with the hair. That's good. Yeah, I got you. I got you, baby. I'll take a compliment. And then. So we go to second commercial break and the tech in my ear was like, he was like, oh, well, sorry, the whole building's everything that just broke.
Starting point is 00:45:07 We're going to try to figure it out. And I was like, what? The fuck. So it's like just getting so hot. And everyone I'm with is in a studio in LA. Oh, shit. And so every commercial break, I'm like padding my whole stomach down, like my head. And I'm just like, dude, I'm going to look like so sloppy.
Starting point is 00:45:25 And people on the internet are already, like I get jokes about how. like sweaty and hot I look all the time and I was like fuck I'm just not beating the allegations at all and then they were like before we cut back everyone in LA was like Wes are you good like what's wrong and I was like the fucking earthing shillows out like I don't know what to do like I'm so so wet like whatever
Starting point is 00:45:46 so they made a little joke about it which I appreciated because then it feels like I'm like not just randomly wet now everyone knows and then the stop using wet to say funny I'm like keep doing it I don't like that.
Starting point is 00:45:59 Sorry. Moist? I'd rather moist than wet. Okay. I don't like moist either. I got you. So then the last segment before the show is over, they cut back from commercial. And it's a montage of me when we were on commercial break, patting my stomach down, patting my face down, like putting a fan on my face.
Starting point is 00:46:20 And it was a montage of me just like wiping myself off. And I was like, there's no, no fucking like. Dude, but that's why people love it. you though. Like that shit's funny as hell. I know. They were also like really nice and like laughing, but like, of course. Okay, but honestly when, especially in a studio, when it's hot and you do have all the lights and you already have a little bit of pressure of like in front of the camera doing stuff. Talking makes me hot. Well, then you are hot 24 fucking seven. That's true. And I'm hot when I'm sleeping. So it never really stops. I don't think it's, it's not the talking. I think it's just your body. Yeah. That's fine. I've asked my mom about it so many times. You know, your mom had my sister's baby. she's about to have her second baby. I know. I know. So cool.
Starting point is 00:47:02 That part's so awesome. I wouldn't bring it up because that would be not my place, but I'm glad you did. I also announced Lindsay's second pregnancy on national television when I, I guess it was supposed to be a secret. Oh, good work. Oh, so this is nothing. All right. Well, thanks for giving us permission, Lindsay. Yeah, so when Sophie becomes an aunt in, what did you say, three weeks?
Starting point is 00:47:22 How'd you know? I think you, didn't you tell me already? My mother will receive that baby into the world, which is kind of a fun... Receive. Like... Oh, yeah, receive, yeah. She was good. I was right there at the camera, had the angle.
Starting point is 00:47:36 Oh, you were in the room? Dude, I was right there next to your mom. Wait, I've never seen her do it before. Like, the birth stuff. Well, I don't know what woman would maybe allow you in there. No. No one should let me in. Maybe Lindsay will next time.
Starting point is 00:47:51 Yeah, honestly. Podcast, while she's giving birth. mom hops in for like just one little let us get birth your mom can walk us through my sister's next birth wait I think we're on this one's fine
Starting point is 00:48:04 damn uh how do you like being an aunt I love it it's good it's the best do you feel you be like a good mom well like right now
Starting point is 00:48:13 would I be a good mom right now like when you see a kid that's like has your bloodline are you like oh I want my own oh yeah it gives me baby fever and then you spend like maybe 30 minutes
Starting point is 00:48:24 When they're not so good, and you're like, I'm good. Yeah. I'm thriving, actually. Yeah, I got you. But, yeah, I want to be a mom. You want to be a dad? Eventually, but I don't picture it at all right now. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:48:35 Yeah, like, I think about it in my future, yes, but when I wake up, no part of me is like, I want to have. The max mom that I am right now would be my dog. And, like, a lot of my teammates have dogs. And, like, I gave my dog to my parents back home because I just couldn't. I don't have time. Yeah. So am I going to give my- Do that mean you re-home to your family?
Starting point is 00:48:54 fucking dog. Yeah, but he's on the farm and he's thriving. Okay. Like, there's no way he's going to come back here living in an apartment. Yeah, yeah. I feel the same way about New York. He actually just brought a big old dead, big old deer leg back home to my parents. That like their year.
Starting point is 00:49:10 Oh, yeah. And they smell like it. He had it rolled in the deer too. It was bad. That's awesome. Yeah. Anyway. Feber last night.
Starting point is 00:49:20 Beat. Sky. Shirek, baby. How to go? Bink, bink. That's good. How'd you play? You know, I've actually been kind of on a heater.
Starting point is 00:49:28 Turn me up, so? Yeah, turn me up. But last night, I was not. Back down on a cooler. That's fine. Humbling. That's humbling, you know. Can I, do you think with Kailen out, have you had to, like, kind of, like, rise up?
Starting point is 00:49:44 Yeah, I think everyone has had to. She does have a pretty good injury. Hopefully she's back soon. Are you second but shooter after her, in your opinion? Like, percentage-wise or, like, efficiency? I guess that's the same thing. Yeah. Nice.
Starting point is 00:49:58 Your coach is like, uh, what? I'm inefficiency and percentage wise. I think both of those categories. Yeah, no, that's awesome. That's good. Same category. Pride is like love. You feel it in your heart.

And I'm Tom Boger. On our podcast, Inside American Soccer, we'll talk about the real storylines. I'm not worried about Policic.
Starting point is 00:51:03 I'm not worried about Balagan. I'm not worried about McKinney. My only concern is what happens in the back.

Whether you're a lifelong fan or this is your first World Cup. We've got you covered.
Starting point is 00:51:28 Listen, Inside American Soccer with Tom Bogart and Tabramos in the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, wherever you get your podcast. I love the sounds. The buzzing from the stadium, the chanting from the fans, the announcers calling the place, soccer, football, it's home. Why do I watch the World Cup? That's like asking me, why do I breed? I inherited that fandom from my mom.
Starting point is 00:51:57 I like watching it with my dad. It's a connecting force. From Futuro Studios, I'm Fernanda 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.
Starting point is 00:52:22 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.
Starting point is 00:52:45 Because their new star is J. 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?
Starting point is 00:53:13 Cristiano or Messi? Do aliens exist? What is love? Real Madrid or Barza. From every day and ordinary to the deep and extraordinary. This isn't a normal podcast. Everything here is spontaneous, real and genuine. This podcast is like a deep talk with your closest friends.
Starting point is 00:53:29 Where vulnerability comes out. Conspiracy theories end up on the table, and goals and lessons are shared. All in this life has an order perfect and all is just. Wait me. I'm going to pressur me, but me will go to be done. We are here to connect. The Chicharito.
Starting point is 00:53:42 Oh, Javier El Chicharito Hernandez. And together with IHA Radio, We're going to make the ordinary, extraordinary. Stay close. It's a carac. Wow. Listen to learning to be human on I-Hard radio, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
Starting point is 00:53:57 Welcome to Sabara Football, the sweet and spicy on and off the field. I'm Daniela Durand, and this is where we get to know the people behind the game like never before. The pressure, the fame, and everything that happens when the cameras turn off. Enjoy a conversation with guests like Mar-Bartra. Marritte Oraldes or Gassillas.
Starting point is 00:54:16 Gilles, Gilles, Puyol, and I picket? In Ervalencia. Yes, in the time, the fact that, the fact that's all the tars, but the dream of the footballist is that, the fact that I'm not. Sharon Escobar, Pollo Disseigne, and you're not with my rod.
Starting point is 00:54:33 You're going to, you're going to. You're going, you're going. I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm saying, nothing else, the salutes. Fede Pereira. If you say, no, I'm going to choose, tell us, sampas.
Starting point is 00:54:44 I'm not so. I'm not so. And I don't know. Oh, I don't know. I love. And many more. Listen to Soura football on the Aija Radio app, Apple Podcast, or whatever you get your podcast. Anyway, I don't even know if I lead those.
Starting point is 00:55:01 But I, no, I think that's the cool thing about our team is we have a lot of great shooters. Shooters. But I have been shooting the shit out of the ball lately. But we all, you know, the highs and lows of the season. I know. Everyone goes to that. So. Do we know when she's coming back?
Starting point is 00:55:15 What is it going? Yeah. her, yeah, it is her groin. But it's such like a weird injury because she doesn't really, like, she's not in pain all the time. Yeah. You know what I mean? But then like when you do hurt it, it's like, okay, you're out for another. So I think they're trying to be like extra cautious.
Starting point is 00:55:31 So she doesn't kind of have those little setbacks. If we're trying to make a playoff run, I think that's the crazy thing. Dude, exactly. Like if we can continue to win without her, like, also. Of course, we want her to play, though. Like, I want her to play. You know what I mean? But like, if we can be successful without her, give her a little bit more break, I think that's,
Starting point is 00:55:46 Going to be good. And playoffs are win? October? September this year. Yeah, October with Olympic year, but this year. Oh, got you. Yeah. Caugh. Yeah. She didn't play an All-Star, though. She didn't. She was an All-Star. D. Of course. Was she, like, on the sideline shit with them? Yeah, she, they called her coach clerk. Oh, yeah. No, only they did they did. But I think I'm a part of our PA, Players Association. Um, WMBA, yeah. So I think they're going to be sending out those shirts. Good. So it'll be nice. But Kelsey Plumwood did Sherp? Why? I don't know, dude. I don't know, dude. Why? I always feel like she's always being weird. The thing is, she's super nice, and she's really freaking good at basketball. Uh-huh. It's just like... I just think, and you know way better than me, but like... It just feels like people are jealous of this new little wave of...
Starting point is 00:56:33 They are, but I just hate that because, like, this is what we've always wanted as a league. So, like, who cares who gets the credit? And if you're smart, you're making money off of them. Yeah. Like, you were literally making money from the viewership. And what she made a... The chirp was about how she... didn't help plan the fucking insurance.
Starting point is 00:56:48 Who cares? Like, who cares? You know what I mean? Like, I just hate when, like, people do stuff to get, it's like clickbait. Like, you know, and there's so much clickbait, especially surrounding Caitlin. And so, like, it's just like, just be nice. Like, why can't people just be nice? That's what I don't, I don't, coming from the girl who drug someone, dad. Just be nice. That's not that hard. I agree. Damn it.
Starting point is 00:57:10 No, I think that's what the, from what I've seen. Yeah, what is the outside, like the outside view of the deluscourseurs. Why bully the person who is like not 100% responsible, but like has a huge role in growing your support? Dude. And it literally like pisses me off and people are like, she's not the face of the league. Who would be? What? Sabrina.
Starting point is 00:57:34 No. Yeah. No, there's really good, well-known people in our league. I'm not discreding them. Like, we have a lot of badasses in our league. Like, hell yeah, to that. I'm off for that. But when people will try to argue that she's not the face of our league,
Starting point is 00:57:46 or if our league would be where we're at without her, you're dumb as shit. Yeah. You're literally dumb as fuck. You guys played at Iowa. Were you there for that game? Yeah. Was that a preseason? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:59 We played against Brazil. Oh, we should go to Brazil. Chiefs. Chiefs play in Brazil week one against the Chargers, I think. So, there's that. Clear our schedule. When's their first game? It's probably like the first weekend of September.
Starting point is 00:58:15 Wait, when does Summerhouse quit? filming. Dude, I fucking won it. Montana State plays Oregon week one. And it's our last weekend of filming. So it's like, it's the last weekend of August that like I think it like it dips its toes into September for like a day on like Sunday, maybe or something. Wait, because that's literally where I was going to go with that. Why doesn't, why don't you guys all pick up like the summer house crew go to like a game or like go to that type of stuff? The internet talks about that all the time because every other Bravo show does cast trips. Yeah. So they go to like islands and like, like, Why would you guys not?
Starting point is 00:58:47 I think because our show is a vacation. Yeah. They like, in theory, we're like already on a trip. On vacation? You know? Yeah. I like jokingly brought up Summer House Ozarks. Dude, it would be so fun.
Starting point is 00:59:00 And it like kind of caught a little traction. I saw it on my Twitter feed. Yeah. I saw it. I interviewed John Hamm about it. I was like, would you watch that show? And he goes, fuck yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:11 Yeah. Dude, that'd be amazing. But it would be fun to just go, like, I love that house, you know? Yes, but like, it's okay to. go do something different for at least one week. I think with people that you spend so much time with, a little shakeup is healthy. Yes.
Starting point is 00:59:24 And like, yeah. And then it like kind of like lights a little fire. It's a fun, like, we're all going to like do this thing. Let's be nice and have fun. You're just not so much of your team. But I actually want to handle that real quick. Is it so weird with Paige not being in the house? It sucks because I think our senses of humor were like the same. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:42 And if I made a joke, I like. Relied on her a little. Yeah. She would laugh first, you know. So that part's always tough. Are you still friends? Yeah. Like, hang out and stuff? I'm going to send her one of those bandanas too.
Starting point is 00:59:54 I got a little group of like, you need to. You need to. Oh. Mm-hmm. But it seemed that in a ton of it would mean the world to me. Dude, I want to rock it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:05 Yeah, I'm all for that. Yeah. Do you have an outfit idea? You know, it's my dad on the bandana. What? Bruce? Bruce. It's Bruce, dude.
Starting point is 01:00:14 I'll show you. It's like a past. Steele painting. Wait, on the O.G. scarf, it was Bruce the whole time. Yeah, look. You're fucking kidding. No, I sent them the picture. So it's like a picture of him.
Starting point is 01:00:28 The roof? Yeah. Isn't that cool? Oh, hell yeah, dude. And then that's our Cattlebrand logo. Oh. So it's like cooler than you think it is. Way cooler.
Starting point is 01:00:40 I just thought it was like a random silky scarf that you maybe got at Marshalls. No, no. No, what the fuck? I don't know. No, actually, this company is who did it. They're called Pirate. But it's pretty cool. You could have fooled my ass.
Starting point is 01:00:55 Well, that's not the point. Oh. And I also think my dad was like, this is awesome. Duh. You know, he fucking ate that shit of a heartbeat. I know. I was like, hey, do you have time to do you like a photo shoot at the farm? And he was like, yeah, I can tell the cows to fuck off and the pigs can go play in the ludd.
Starting point is 01:01:12 The cows were a part of it. I did see that. Dude, I will never forget, back to our little farm party real quick, I will never forget when you really did have yours and like your dad was out there and was like showing the like massive bonfire too. That bonfire was huge. It was huge. We took all the old wood and like pallets and shit. I didn't know all that. But I remember that was a big ass fire.
Starting point is 01:01:34 Yeah. That might have been one of the bigger ones. Yeah. Josh Evans had a couple big ones, but that was a big big one. I wonder if ever do that again in our lives. I think that we're going to throw it back and we're going to. We like, yeah. Wait, that would be so fun.
Starting point is 01:01:48 Why are we whispering? Just because I don't want you here to think that. They're not going to be invited. No, you guys don't want inviting. It's in Missouri, though. Who else in the, I say WNBA, I know you say W, talks about who like shits on refs besides you? I think I'm really the only one who publicly is a massive shitter on refs.
Starting point is 01:02:13 Fuck yeah, dude. That's awesome. But my thing is like, I'm not even going to lie to you. I am someone who says what everyone else is thinking or talking about, not just with the refs. But with Detroit, with Cleveland, I want people to hear what I just said. I am the only one. But if you ask our league, they feel the same exact way. The league feels the same way about the refs as you?
Starting point is 01:02:39 And Detroit and Cleveland. Yeah. Damn, those cities are going to fucking hate you. No, like, they already do. I met someone. I was just at the Cubs and White Sox game. Yeah. Literally two nights ago.
Starting point is 01:02:50 And this guy came and like, while he goes, are you Sophie? And I was like, yeah, he goes, well, I'm from Detroit. I was like, oh, I heard it's beautiful. So. What? I bet people should on Kansas City all the time, though. Yeah. We have some of the best barbecue hands down the whole country.
Starting point is 01:03:08 Like, I'm sure there's so many gyms. I'm sure that people are amazing those cities. I don't think people are fully understanding what we were talking about. And so now... Do you want to give it one more shot? No, because I said what I had to say. You go off. And I'm not going to apologize because I fully believe that.
Starting point is 01:03:22 Don't tell me that Detroit is more fun than Nashville. I'm not going to tell you that. Yeah, don't. I'm not. Because I'll drag you by your damn neck. Cleveland, though, I... Are you a lover, kind of and not a fighter? I'm not a fighter.
Starting point is 01:03:38 Everyone knows that. I'm not even close to it. I think I'm more of a lover than I give off, but I will beat your ass. Yeah. let's wrestle sometimes that'd be fun I said oil you're too funny that's my lube
Starting point is 01:03:53 my wrestling lube I won't make you shit on refs but I do find it I find it interesting because no Mahomes did it two years ago and got fucking massacred for three months that's fine but you know what
Starting point is 01:04:07 he was probably speaking the truth I think he regrets that one that's fine was it after he gave me one or lost We won. Okay, that's fair then. I was going to say it's going to sound like you're making excuses. And I get it because if I was a ref, I know I would mess up all the time.
Starting point is 01:04:22 Like, I'm not saying that your job is easy, but when it is a simple call right in front of your face multiple times, what are you doing? What are you like bugged out? All of them. Like, it's just like the, they're just so inconsistent. Like, that's my thing. Like, if you're on the other team and you're going to be found this shit out of me, yeah. Cool. but let me do it to you.
Starting point is 01:04:44 You know what I mean? You want consistency then. Yeah, like just give. And I think that's players across the league and like new fans across our, the country. Like everyone's like, what is going on with the refs? And I'm like, I don't know. And you finding me $500 is not going to do shit. Fuck yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:02 That was a bar. That's a shirt. Hot girls like to be fined. Finding me $500 won't do shit. That's sick. And then I'll get fined for that. And then I'll get fined for this. and then the fines continue.
Starting point is 01:05:14 Yeah. Damn. Yeah. Where do the rest come from? I don't know. Not all of them are bad. I know. There's actually a lot of solid, really good rest.
Starting point is 01:05:25 Do you have personal relationships with any of them? Sexual? No, no. Well, you wouldn't be posting... Maybe I should do that. You wouldn't be posting rude TikToks about them if that was true. I did say some. I didn't say all.
Starting point is 01:05:36 There's just a, there's like a good handful that it's like, all right, dude. And there's a couple girls in there too. Dumb question. do like if someone were to like say someone called men's basketball their whole life and then went over to women's would they be expected to call the game differently just given like the style and like physicality and stuff like that um i'm just curious if they're coming from random plate like where they're coming from the thing the thing that i have the biggest issue about those female sides of refs is like they're so emotional like the guys no the NBA the NBA officials like, the NBA players motherfucked those officials like no. Oh, yeah, yeah. Like, I was, I've worked broadcasts,
Starting point is 01:06:19 I've been to games, I'm friends with these people, they mother fuck them. Yeah. And the only person that I've ever seen able to, like, motherfucker a ref on the women's side is Diana Tarasi. And they, like, take it. Yeah, they had to. Yeah, they have to.
Starting point is 01:06:31 And, like, but when I, she, she's probably one of the worst people that I've seen go after refs, and I loved every second of it. Yeah. But now, like, the refs, and I'm not saying they're emotional, like the men and women,
Starting point is 01:06:42 it not matter the gender on our side they are too emotionally invested and they can't take it and I'm like Is it new to the WNBA that you guys are like maybe talking more shit back to refs or has that been a thing forever? It's always been a thing like I've had so many coaches
Starting point is 01:06:58 trainers like everyone who's worked on both like the NBA and WMBA side and they say that like we are more vulgar like vulgar disgat like wild than the men like the way you talk shit everything I believe it like
Starting point is 01:07:12 Everything. Like, our locker rooms are insane. Yeah. They're fun, entertaining as shit. I've seen TikToks. Yeah. They look fun. Yeah, but I'm just, so it's just like the emotional aspect that they can't separate. Interesting.
Starting point is 01:07:25 Like, we're not going after you as a human. We're just going after your job. Yeah. I mean, I've seen football coaches fucking eat up refs, but it's outside, so it doesn't feel as personal. I feel like getting cussed out inside would hurt your feelings more than that. No, because it's like the heat of the battle. I feel like that's, I think if you went outside. the court ended it, then that's going too far.
Starting point is 01:07:44 I don't mean outside of stadium. I just mean in open air. Oh, oh, oh. Like being cussed out in an arena where like it echoes and you can hear other people feels more intimate than like outside. Sucks to suck. We get cussed out when we're playing. People yell at us all the time. No, I know. You don't see me in the middle of the game. I don't. Can't say that. Imagine that. No, you fight with your fucking fists. I've seen it.
Starting point is 01:08:09 You're crazy. I'm flas and you're having fun. It is. I have a lot of fun here with it. Where do you live in comparison to yours and I used to go? 15, 20. Not bad. Not too bad.
Starting point is 01:08:22 No, everything's like. Are you more of like a, I want to live close to like the fun shit in town or close to the facility? No. I'm like actually happy medium. So like in Phoenix, I had the perfect setup. I was like 10 minutes from downtown, which is like where we played. Bush and I picked you up for that race time.
Starting point is 01:08:41 Yeah. Yeah. And then 10 minutes. from like our practice facility. It was perfect. And then 10 minutes from the bars. Yeah. And good food.
Starting point is 01:08:46 Yeah. It's perfect. Where do you live? And like, I just moved. I know. Oh, shoot. Yeah. I think you did tell me that.

Starting point is 01:09:00 Yeah. You know what I mean? Well, in New York, it's like really hard to find that. I was like tripping on shoes and shit. No, you could find it, but you're going to cut off your left arm. Yeah. Couch built. TV's up.
