Starting point is 00:00:12 We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it. But, you know, tired and sick. Tired and sick.
Starting point is 00:00:26 Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you. you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier.

Starting point is 00:01:00 Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Winning on Clay is an art. The rallies are relentless. And at the French Open, only the toughest survive. I'd know. I competed there for decades. Join me, Renee Stubbs, on the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast for no nonsense breakdowns of the biggest matches, the toughest players, and the moments that define Roland Garris.
Starting point is 00:01:20 She can win. She's an outsider to win the French fame. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lina Rubakina is arguably the best player in the world right now. And I actually can win on any service. Listen to the Renee Stubbs tennis podcasts on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal, but encouraged.
Starting point is 00:01:45 It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Dude, guess what?
Starting point is 00:02:12 Guess who I kind of get to model for? Who? She does all the really cool jackets for all, like, the Y stuff. Kristen. Use check. Kristen, use check. Yeah, so she, her company off. brand like her designer brand she is going to the w and so i'm going to be one of the first
Starting point is 00:02:32 w players to rock her style in tomorrow's out in tomorrow's tunnel fit good morning fregelinas it's west and sophy show me pod at five we've had so many things to like jump right into for all these episodes and this one i want to celebrate if we made it through our first episode without you getting fined well um yeah i would like to know too but i have had surgery and i've been on painkillers, so I actually haven't even got to see my GM, and she's normally the one who pulls me aside. So it is still up in the air if I got fined or not. Is that what happens?
Starting point is 00:03:20 Yeah. She like, she does like this. Did you see me? I held up a two out of four. It's, it's the oxy talking. I was going to ask, what do they have you on? Are you partying? Well, honestly, that's been a freaking shit show.
Starting point is 00:03:34 No, listen to this. So I react so weird to like pain meds. And so I've had three surgeries in my meds. have always been different because I just, like I said, I react from here to them. And so I was on, um, uh, what was I on?
Starting point is 00:03:50 What are it? It starts of an H. I'm blanking. Uh, hydro hydro hydro. Yes, hydros. Yes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:56 We'll just go with that. Yeah. That was hydros. I was on hydros was not working. I could feel like every little like cut and incision they did on my knee. And so then I got to Oxy and, um, you're only supposed to take one. But like,
Starting point is 00:04:10 Again, I got like a low tolerance to it. And so I had to take like two and a half. And then I was finally feeling good. So let's stop into the surgery. How are you feeling? How was it? Everything smooth. Honestly, real good.
Starting point is 00:04:23 Like they went in there and everything. Oh, listen to this. Ha! They said for my age and for like what I do for living that my knees are looking real nice. Oh, fuck yeah. That's what he said. That is nice. That's reassuring to hear after a knee injury.
Starting point is 00:04:39 have you started PT? A little bit. I've been to a little bit of rehab, lots of icing, just trying to, like, get extension. Because, like, I guess with this knee surgery, I thought it'd be, like, the bending is what would be the hardest, but it's actually getting it straight. So a lot of people who get it,
Starting point is 00:04:52 they have, like, a little curb in their knee because they can't straighten their legs. So I've been really trying to work on getting my legs straight. But I've kind of taken up being like you, and we should totally do this, because I think people would love this, is I've been doing, I think I'm going to start doing, like, food reviews because I'm able to do that.
Starting point is 00:05:08 Like, all I'm doing is to do that. around and eating and like you do that quite a bit and I people tend to like that stuff and so I think you should start doing that I don't know if you're still taking your your drugs but how fun I am you do dude pop a fucking whatever and then just like eat a pizza I'm doing and review it record yourself well I've been I've been so bad because I this is bad since I've had surgery I had Burger King I've had a box of donuts and I went to Texas Roadhouse When's the last time you've heard of Texas Roadhouse? Dude, people talk about their roles all the time.
Starting point is 00:05:43 People talk about the Texas Roadhouse rolls every day. So good. And they're finding out of, wait. I do want to tell you, because as someone who had, like, life-altering leg surgery, I, the most I ever weighed in college was 215. My sophomore year, it was a good 215. After I broke my leg, my junior year, it was a bad 215. Because I, the only thing I had to, like, look forward to every day,
Starting point is 00:06:09 day was because I didn't leave the house for like a few weeks. They had to wait for the swelling to go down before I could like get surgery or PT. And it was like what movie was I going to watch and what like pizza toppings was I going to get for the day? And I just ate because I had nothing else to do and nothing to like make me happy. So I ate so much post-surgery. Yeah. Before I could PT and I got fucking chubby, bruh. Well, that's okay.
Starting point is 00:06:35 I should actually wait myself. I was out. I met. before surgery I was at 157, but I will say, I need to start taking laxatives. I was just going to say, painkillers are going to blow you up
Starting point is 00:06:46 because it's impossible. I've been literally just inhaling food and nothing's come out. Not to be crazy, but I'm pretty sure the reason Elvis, one of the reasons Elvis was so sick at the end of his life was because he was just crushing painkillers and so boated because he could never take dumps.
Starting point is 00:07:07 I've never had that issue, but I'm starting to. And then it's not great. Yeah. I feel like when you, after you have surgery, that a part of your prescription is like laxatives. Sometimes they'll, like throw them in there because you, they should, or at least like stool softener. Like you should do something because, yeah, let me tell you.
Starting point is 00:07:27 But dude, you had, thank you. I'll send you a text. That'll be an update next week's pod. I'll be like, so. There go. Yeah. Did we go? If I don't have an update.
Starting point is 00:07:37 and I'll probably be back in the hospital. Yeah, that's true. Getting a, what is it the, the expert, what is it called? Oh, yeah, an enema. Enema, yeah. That sounds fun right now. Anyway, you had a busy weekend, I feel like, a lot of, like, fun updates. Oh, how's like a book?
Starting point is 00:07:57 Dude, motherfucker. It fucking rained, and we couldn't do it. They canceled? Wait, they cancel it? It was like, yeah, supposed to be on a rooftop and, it got canceled, so we like went downstairs and played like some little games. I don't know. I mean, it was cute, cute deal, but.
Starting point is 00:08:14 Don't be mad at me, but like, I feel like in the Midwest, if it rains, like, that makes them more fun. Are people too bougie to get their hair wet or what's going on? No, just because it was like a corporate thing that I don't think that they were going to like make everyone like go play in a rain. And like tennis shoes, maybe it's like, because I decided a waiver before I got there. Hmm. So.
Starting point is 00:08:33 They didn't want to rule to get hurt. I guess, which, whatever. I mean, that's valid. I agree with that. Tell us about U.S. Open, though. Yes. Oh, my gosh. I have so many questions.
Starting point is 00:08:44 The U.S. Open is a major sporting event. It's one of New York's probably, like, more iconic sporting events. I'm working on appreciating this sport. I think watching tennis, you can tell they're, like, incredible athletes. I just the country club sports of it all, like where you're quiet and, like, it feels so, and like everyone's dressed up, I'm working to get there to like really appreciate it and follow it. But if we're being totally honest,
Starting point is 00:09:16 the U.S. Open in New York, I mean, I feel like it's kind of a social event to be totally honest. Okay, that was my question. I was like, do people really go there to watch and appreciate tennis? Or like, is it more of you get to go and see, well, like people are wearing,
Starting point is 00:09:32 you get to go meet on people? Like, who did you meet? Yeah. Did you get to meet anyone from? So a lot of people I knew, but okay, a good tee up. So, okay, I am not, like, obviously I don't watch Housewives, okay, but a lot of people do. And I've been, like, meeting them throughout this, the last few years. And, like, I just feel like there couldn't be much more like a polar opposite, like, figure than, like, kind of everything I stand for is, like, beer football and, like, boo wearing boots.
Starting point is 00:10:04 And then these housewives are like so rich and like pretty and like just like go on vacations. I don't know. I just think it's so fun for me to meet them and like get to know them. And, um, okay. So do you know, have you heard of Merritt of Marks? Do you know who this is? I do. Okay.
Starting point is 00:10:22 Did you read her? Yeah. So she was with us. Beautiful woman. Very cool. Yeah. Also she started, she's like a DJ now. But I was like, she's from Chicago and we started talking about I was like, I love to ask.
Starting point is 00:10:34 So are you like cubs or white socks? Like just a classic little Chicago question. She was like, you know what? I'm not like a super diehard team sports lady, except I'm so into the WNBA right now. This sounds like fake. I swear to God. You're lying.
Starting point is 00:10:50 She's like, I love the WNBA. And I go, okay, not to like make this about me, but I just dropped a WNBA podcast like four weeks ago. She goes, shut up, like show me. Like she was so hype. Just the last person you'd think, in a U.S. Open suite, he was going to be like, I need to see your W&BA podcast.
Starting point is 00:11:10 And I showed her, and I was like, do you know who Sophie Cunningham is? And she goes, yeah, like, that girl fucking rocks. Like, she's so sick. And I was like, you're coming on the podcast. You're coming on the podcast, Meredith. We totally should. Would she be down?
Starting point is 00:11:24 She was like, if Bravo's approved it, like, let's do it. Wait, so this might be dumb on my end, but are all housewives Bravo? Yes. Yeah. Oh. So there's cities. So it's city-based.
Starting point is 00:11:36 No, I knew that. I didn't know that Bravo was the one that did all that. Mm-hmm. I don't know what the first one was. I think it was like Beverly Hills maybe, but yeah. They're like icons. Can we please get her on the show? I'm not even lying.
Starting point is 00:11:52 No, and I think you and I would have, well, we're going to have like a lot of, we know a lot of sports people, you and I. Yeah. And we'll have a lot of sports guests, but like to kick it off with, a housewife would be so fun. And she's down.
Starting point is 00:12:05 We just got to like get it, get it going. Oh, I love that. I love all the job. And I think she knows ball. Do you think that she could help me become a housewife and get on one of those shows? Do you have to be married to be one of them? I would imagine that you probably originally the format was you have to be married, but I know there are a lot of people who are not, I'm pretty sure.
Starting point is 00:12:29 Well, not a lot, but I just know, like, There's like real houses of New York had a girl I know who was like not married So maybe you don't I don't know But it's standard to be married though Well yeah duh Wait what did you wear to the US Open So we did
Starting point is 00:12:46 So I went with Amazon and they like dressed us Oh nice tennis is just very like It's like loose fitting Summary colors So it's like a lot of white Like all the ladies where like It's a lot of like pretty dresses And the guys it's like you don't
Starting point is 00:13:01 It doesn't have to be like tucked in. It's like white linen pants. Like I had a like a, like a, like a, almost like a, um, the Hamptons type vibe, right? Yeah, honestly. Honestly, yes. But like comfortable in the summary. I did that. And then, yeah, it was just a fun little day. You take the bus out and just like watch some tennis. But there, I do know some people that were there because they are like tennis heads and know what's going on. For people who like, I'd never been. And I think a lot of people to see it on TV, like I want to go, but really can't because it's during season. But,
Starting point is 00:13:32 Like who, like, who's there? Like, what famous people are there? And, like, is the food good? Like, are there drinks everywhere? Like, give me the setup. Give me the vibe. Wait, I wish we could. So the talk of the town, they have these drinks called, uh, it's called a honey
Starting point is 00:13:47 deuce. So obviously it's like honeydew and then deuce is like a fucking tennis word. Supposedly. Also, I was in the street with Kyle last night. He's like, guys, I have fun facts. Like, I need to tell. Like, just yelling. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:14:00 He said that the revenue that they make from this one drink. So also, it's like a, it's like a little like summertime little cocktail, but then the toothpick is like three perfectly circled melons so that they look like tennis balls. And that goes into the drink. Imagine having that job. That would suck ass. How many people would cut the freaking melon? Into a circle?
Starting point is 00:14:29 I bet it's like a spoon or something. Yeah. Like a little. The revenue that they make from these drinks, which obviously very overpriced, it's enough to pay the prize money for the men's and women's champion of the U.S. Open. You're lying.
Starting point is 00:14:49 I swear to God. Let's Google it, honestly. How much is it per drink? Dude, I think it's like 20 most. The U.S. Open sold a record 12.8, million dollars worth of its signature honey-duce cocktail in 2024. Why? How? With sales projected to reach over $10 million for the tournament and continually to grow.
Starting point is 00:15:11 Can we like make our own drink and sell it? If people are making $10 million, you have me fucked up. We've drinking enough that we can come over their own. It's Grey Goose vodka, lemonade, raspy lique, lique, and then the melon balls. Dude, low-key sounds amazing. It's very summary. I would pay probably $23 for that. Yeah, honestly.
Starting point is 00:15:35 Or we can make it a little bit more white trash and maybe not use gray goose and maybe some Tito's or some kettle. Some burnettes? Yeah, we could sell ours on the side. What was the cheapest, like, booze that people drank when you were like a freshman in college? Do you remember? Oh, like Spatka, Smyranov. U.E. Blue? Dude, there was a vodka in Montana called Nicolai,
Starting point is 00:16:03 and they sold it in, like, the pint was plastic. Like, it wasn't even glass. Did you ever drink Mad Dog? No, what is that? Why don't you go to your local, the Coor store and see if they had it? Okay. But, wait, hold on. So, what was there like to eat there?
Starting point is 00:16:23 Like, is the food, like, is everything bougie at the U.S. Open? It looks like it. I just have never been, so I don't know. it definitely is. We were in a suite, so it was all very, like, for us. But I mean, like, it was, yeah, it was like sushi and lobster rolls. Oh, wait, was it a Bravo suite or was it just a... No, Amazon just took a bunch of, like, New York City people and we, like, all bust out there together.
Starting point is 00:16:46 It was actually, it was really fun. Did you see the dude who crashed out last night and, like, yelled at the line judge? I've been on another planet. Oh, yeah, that's right. I don't. I haven't really been keeping up. Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers. And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, new? Huge news. We created our own podcast called Hey Jonas.
Starting point is 00:17:11 We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to a podcast. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts. We're starting a trend. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. And we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down?
Starting point is 00:17:40 Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guy.

I'm Renee Stubbs, and on the Renee Stubbs Tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris.
Starting point is 00:19:37 Every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on Clay. Jenchian win. I mean, she went down in three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lerabakina is arguably the best player in the world. right now and I actually can win on any surface because if she's serving, well, good luck. Consider this your court side seat to the French Open. Listen to the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast
Starting point is 00:20:04 on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. There is this guy, he's like, if I say his name, it'll be it. It's like Danielle. I don't know, people are going to kill me. Medvedev Whatever When is the U.S. Open, like, when is the winner announced? Like, when's the championship game?
Starting point is 00:20:32 Sophie, if I'm going to keep, if I'm going to be so honest with you, I just kind of, the U.S. Open is one of those things. I just, I just show up. I don't know what the fuck's going on. I think a lot of people just show up to this one. Yeah. It's more for like the vibes and who you're going to be with type five. Same with, like, I mean,
Starting point is 00:20:51 I feel like that's the thing with a lot of sporting events. Like, the reason I think that the Super Bowl is kind of like, is it's so fucking corporate. And like it's not. Yeah. I mean, there are, there are clearly fans, but it's like such a like businessy influence or celebrity event where like,
Starting point is 00:21:08 I hate to say it, but championships with series, so like World Series, NBA finals that are at like home stadiums are so sick because it's a home stadium. It's like fans. you go to every game. Yeah. And you just get a little bit more of that, like, purity that you don't get from, like,
Starting point is 00:21:28 a one-off event. Honestly, I hear that about everyone who attends the Super Bowl and, like, the Jesus has been in it, you know, because. But even the people there, they're like, I'd much rather stay at home and watch it with all my friends and stuff because when you get there, everyone makes it look like it's way more fun and stuff than it really is. So, like, I just don't, I just, it's hard for me to get behind that type of stuff. AFC Championship is like at Arrowhead is the coolest
Starting point is 00:21:55 like event I've ever been to and we'll always go to because it's like just fucking so magical. Do you get what I'm saying though? Like when people are authentic, like the environment is authentic, that shit is the most fun. I hate like all the fake fluff shit. I just,
Starting point is 00:22:10 I can't get behind that for some reason. How many, um, do you all do, how many like neutral site games have you played? Like I know you did the thing in Iowa. where that was like so random. I actually can't believe that you guys did that shit.
Starting point is 00:22:25 Well, that's like preseason and like in Caitlin like that it was random, but it made sense too because you're still going to bring a crowd. But the W doesn't do neutral sites. Yeah, but name a sport that has played a professional sport that's played at their at someone's alma mater. Like that's never happened before. That's crazy. No, but it's becoming more of a thing like they did it for Angel Reiki.
Starting point is 00:22:50 set LSU. I think they, I think they'll continue to do it because it honestly, especially if there's a WMBA team that's not close by those universities, it's going to draw fans. And so I think it's actually really smart, especially if they have a following.
Starting point is 00:23:05 Like, I think that, I think it's genius. I have no, I think it's fun kind of going back to the college stadiums and having those girls kind of get to be a part of it too, that like the girls who are actually a part of the team currently. And so I don't know. I think that's a smart move by the WMBA.
Starting point is 00:23:20 Look at me supporting it. No, fuck yeah. Let's like whatever a reverse fine is. Oh, for them to give me my money back because I said something positive. Yeah. But I mean, I'm not a hair of the WMBA. I'm a proud supporter. But it's just some of their stuff.
Starting point is 00:23:37 This doesn't make sense to me. Yeah. But I remember seeing you guys play in Iowa City and I was like, dude, this is. It's packed. It was super cool. So much cloud. Dude, I know. Speaking of W.
Starting point is 00:23:50 we just, you want to get into it? Because I have some things to say. I got some things to get off my chest. So, we, Indiana Fever, have played Minnesota back to back, and they're like really fucking good. Like they are a hot team right now and they're doing so, so good.
Starting point is 00:24:10 But to me, Minnesota's offense is, I know people have opinions about Cheryl, who's that's their head coach, but dude, she is a genius when it comes. to freaking being a head coach. Like, their offense. Scematically. Like, everything.
Starting point is 00:24:27 How they play on the floor, how she manages, like, the bench? Yeah. Yes. Like, how they have stacked the team. And, like, it is a little bit more old school. But, like, I, that's my type of vibe, I think. Like, they run a motion offense. Everyone on their floor can shoot.
Starting point is 00:24:43 Everyone cuts. Everyone passes the ball. They make this simple pass. And, like, the ball movement that they have is ridiculous. Like, if they are. They are stacked. And actually, oh, Nefisa Collier, she was, lived in Jeff City for a little bit, and then she moved to St. Louis.
Starting point is 00:24:57 So I played against her since. Oh, she's a Missouri girl. Yeah, since like sixth, seventh grade. What high school would she go to? She went to Incarnate Word. I know Incarne Word's nice. Yeah, so she spent a year, Jeff City, I think, her freshman year, and then they moved to St. Louis for her to be a part of Incarnate Ward,
Starting point is 00:25:15 which is like a stacked basketball team play. Who did you beat when we one state? what high school did you? I won four times, so which time? That's so fucking crazy. I so much can't believe that. I guess your first two years then when I would have been there.
Starting point is 00:25:32 Because wasn't one of them incarnate word? Yeah, I think so. She wasn't on the team at the time. I think that was my freshman year. But Nefisa is good. Like she is probably the best player in our league. She's a hell of the player. Damn.
Starting point is 00:25:45 Yeah, like has every thing in her bag. But she also... Go for. You go? No, you're good. I was going to say, would you credit like high-end ball movement to
Starting point is 00:26:01 a head coach rather than just like rock sartine chemistry? Yeah, well, I think that's both. Yeah, I think since Fee has been there, so Maya Moore, the legend of our game used to be there. And then like, they kind of went through a little, a little bit of a slump. and then they drafted in the FISA.
Starting point is 00:26:19 And Fee, I'm not kidding. Like, she's a hell of a player. Like, she's defensive player the year last year. I'm pretty sure. She can guard one through five. And then she can shoot three ball. How tall is she? Like, six, two.
Starting point is 00:26:30 But she's long and she's strong. Like, she is a hell of a player. She's fun to watch. Hard to play against, but she's been to watch. Yeah. But I would say that the teams that you find or see successful in our league, they're everyone on everyone on the floor
Starting point is 00:26:48 can score and it's mainly shooters and or they can get to the rim or cutters but it's really like the ball movement like when you have a motion offense that everyone can cut everybody can pass everyone can dribble and handle the ball like that is freaking hard to guard and Minnesota has that like
Starting point is 00:27:04 that's would you can would you say I mean I feel like that kind of is parallel to the way the NBA is of all their bigs are shooting the ball well yeah like you don't really see a lot of standard post players anymore. And if you do, they're really only in for a short period of time because normally, typically, they can't handle the pace of the game or like if they can't shoot the ball,
Starting point is 00:27:26 then like it allows defenses to help on other stronger players offensively or like they're in a draw position so they're like the defenses in the paint, which is never good, especially if you have shooters coming off screens because that's easier for them to get a shot. Also, it just makes it difficult. You don't really see a lot of post players anymore. Do you, like, when do you think that that trend started? Like, I think a lot of people would say that the NBA that started when, like, obviously Steph made the three point, like the shot at fucking cheat code. And, I mean, Kaelan did that too, but she's, like, very, very new.
Starting point is 00:28:01 Yeah. But it's interesting to see similarities between both leagues, I feel like. And certainly the value of the three point shot has grown and the, like, less of a need for, like, Biggs. Yeah. It's so interesting how they kind of have like evolved in like very parallel manners. I think that what you first saw that in our game, I would say with like Candace Parker.
Starting point is 00:28:27 Like she was kind of the first like point forward, I would say. Like she's what, six four, six five. She can handle the ball. She can shoot it. But also if you try to put a little guard on her, she's going to take you to the post. And I think that's kind of where you saw the adjustment is on the emphasis. BBA side and WBA side, it's like these kids from a young age, regardless of how tall or how big they were going to be, they started doing ball handling. They started learning how to pass.
Starting point is 00:28:54 They started doing more guard work than just typical post moves. And so like that, think about it, that's hard to guard because if you have a small on you, you're just going to go post them up. But if you have a big on you and you're on the perimeter, you're either going to shoot or drive right by them because typically they're going to be slower. So it just makes it a, I know my kids are going to be freaking guards. Like they are going to learn how to be guards regardless of how big they are. Okay. That is so fascinating. But anyways, Minnesota and the fever.
Starting point is 00:29:23 Yep. Do you show a date? You know what? We are going through it, but we are fighting, like, they're never one in the league right now. And they are, our team has fought. Like, we only lost by, I don't know what it was last night. I can't really remember the score. But we kept it within like 10 or 11 throughout the whole game.
Starting point is 00:29:39 And for us to have the roster we do, that's pretty. freaking did. What's it been like watching your roster just kind of get blown up and like you're just kind of trying to figure your shit out from scratch? Like, I mean, it's frustrating, but at the same time, I sports are weird because
Starting point is 00:29:56 like I know it sucks, but in the big picture because it's, you know, the season is not going to be the way we'd all like. But like, there's weird like poetry and beauty and like people are hurt, like other people have to like step up. We like, No one believes in us.
Starting point is 00:30:16 I just like watching it kind of play out and see who can rise up. And like, I mean, other people getting opportunities, like, there are silver linings and everything. But your team is just destroyed. Going through. And I think that what you had to say, all of that is like so valid and real. And I think you've definitely felt that when you were playing.
Starting point is 00:30:35 I also think that like with that, it's funny because any, the whole season as a whole, Like you just have to peak at the right time, right? Like that's what it is. And so you see teams early in the season, oh, we didn't know they were going to be good. Well, maybe they peaked too soon.
Starting point is 00:30:52 Or the teams that are typically good, they were going through it in the beginning. And now they're starting to peak like Vegas. Atlanta has always been good all season long, and they're going to be a hell of a team. But Vegas, I mean, they've won their past like 10 games, but they struggled really bad at the beginning of season, but they're starting to peak at the right time.
Starting point is 00:31:10 But I think when you have a situation like, of this where it's just you have a new roster literally every five days it's like you want to peak but at this point you're just trying to catch some type of rhythm you're trying to get chemistry like we just brought in a girl who was training in turkey right like she's been in the w but she hasn't been the w in a couple years and so it's just like at some point and this is me just being real it's like you can you can keep saying oh you know it's just part of the game it's just professional but like you can't at the end the day it's hard to catch a rhythm and chemistry when you only have two days together.
Starting point is 00:31:46 Like, you know what I mean? Especially when you're going against the best athletes in the entire world. Like that shit's freaking hard. What to you is the right time to peak and how does that happen? Like team chemistry, well, I know it's everything, but like from your lens, like when is the right time to peak and how? I think you want to start peaking and you want to start really catching like chemistry. rhythm after all-star break or maybe like a game or two before all-star break because I think that like the team has to go through adversity like you have to know how to handle tough situations you have to
Starting point is 00:32:27 learn how to lose bad and learn from it like that's just a part of a season that's part of the highs and lows but I think you definitely want to start peeking and trending in the right direction like right after all-star break because that's when that's when you have that momentum going and so I think we We actually were doing that. Like we were doing well before I'll start break and right after. But then, man, like the injury bug just fucking came in and killed us all. Yeah. Not all, but you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:32:55 Well, I was just going to say one more thing. Yeah. You're an aunt now or you already were. Yeah. Dude, you know that when we were on our last podcast, they, she was like, she had her baby during that time. Like before we cut? Yeah. Yeah, that's insane.
Starting point is 00:33:14 Pippi, Clark. Yeah, give us the, give us name, wait. Oh, God. What her interests are going to be. Her name's Pippie, Clark Hudson. Pippie is cute. Yeah, I go to tweak. That's a very cute name.
Starting point is 00:33:33 Yeah. And I think she was born at like 212, Central Time. Well, what's her horoscope for everyone wondering? Or just let us know, what is she going to be like? Is she a ferocious leader? I think it's, is it Leo's right now? She is born three days after my birthday. Oh, that's fun.
Starting point is 00:34:01 So I'm either going to love her or want to kill her because we're going to be a lot of like. I feel like you'll be a great, you're like you were born to be an aunt. Thanks. Is that I mean I wasn't being a mom? No, that is not what it means. It means you're... Thanks, West.
Starting point is 00:34:19 No, it just means like you'll be the cool Ann who like breaks the rules a little and played in the WNBA. Thousand person can spoil them. Yeah, that's all positive. Cool, rich aunt, great. You're going to have 100 cats a little bit. I'm only flexing this because I know that they watch the pod, but I'm literally on DoorDash. Oh, no, yeah. speak. Dude, no joke. I literally
Starting point is 00:34:43 use DoorDash probably seven to ten times a week. Well, now it's going to be worse because you're stuck at home. All right. What's going on in your world? Anything fun? Anything upcoming? Like update us. Actually, good question. See this jacket? Yeah. It's so they're called Pluto Golf. It's like a golf street wear brand.
Starting point is 00:35:04 They're like meeting in the middle. So it's like all golf stuff, but it's kind of just like swaggy anyways. And it's a collab of Captain Morton and it's... Dude, I was wondering, I thought... No, it looks real swaggy. Is it kind of like a ski top or like what material is that? It's like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:35:24 It's like, it feels like a rain jacket. Like, because it's still for golf. So like it's for outside. Dude, I know you're flooding your ass on. Well, we had to cut my fan off because it was too loud. I'm actually okay today. Oh, so. But I, like, modeled for them.
Starting point is 00:35:41 And so, and then these drops, uh, last week or like on Saturday. Wait, you did some modeling? Yeah, fucking for, like golf pictures. Did you not see? It's kind of sick. Are you a golfer? I'm like, I'm working on it. Like, they're kind of fun.
Starting point is 00:35:58 It never picks up. Oh, do you? Yeah. Or no. Go back. Yeah, right there. Yeah, your vibes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:06 Like, it's like, cool stuff. And then I did, like, in a studio. like with a golf club and shit. Dude, we need to do something like that together. I think we, oh, so many people are asking for us to drop merch. We need to get on that. Yeah, I figured out what it would be. Like, I want to just make Rockbridge High School vintage t-shirts.
Starting point is 00:36:28 It's the only thing I want to do. Okay, we'll sell those on the side. You know what? The world is ours. We could do whatever the hell we want. And so we can do that. We can do our merch. we can have a shirt with your face on it, a shirt with my face on it,
Starting point is 00:36:45 together our faces. You got your bandana? Dude, yeah, but I, my... Oh, my God, you're not going to even have a tunnel walk through this year. No, I am. I am, and I'm literally going just for you. Oh, shit. Dude, guess what?
Starting point is 00:37:02 What? Guess who I kind of get to model for. Who? She does all the really cool jackets for all, like, the white. Oh, Kristen, use check. Kristen use check. Yeah, so she, her company off brand, like her designer brand, she is going to the W. And so I'm going to be one of the first W players to rock her style in tomorrow's out in tomorrow's tunnel fit.
Starting point is 00:37:26 Wait, hell yeah. Is it like similar to like the football one? Yeah, but she made, she made Taylor a coat, but that was sick. Okay, first of all, I want to give her a huge shout out because she seems like, never met her in person, but she seems like the nicest human. and she's stunning. Like, actually stunned. This is so random. You bring her up because at the flag football thing I was at,
Starting point is 00:37:47 they were all like, oh, we partnered with Christian Newscheck. I forget what it was for, but they were like glowing, talking about her. So she's. We need to get her on the podcast. That would be sick. That would be so tight. I told her I'm coming like to a game. We're going to hang out.
Starting point is 00:38:03 She seems like my type of chick. Wait, Ashley, will you sprinkle that to her? Yes. Like, yeah, before someone else, that would be really fun because she's like very much in the NFL world, but also like a fashionista. Dude, and we do, oh, what if she styled us and we did like an in-person? Dude, I think she made Paige DeSorbo a jacket from the Super Bowl this past year. Oh, yeah. She's like, she's like really crushing.
Starting point is 00:38:32 Yeah, I really like her. Well, dude, we're kind of like in sync right now. Oh, it's weird. Yesterday, Abercrombie announced they're the official merchandiser of the NFL. How crazy is that? I kind of like that.
Starting point is 00:38:48 No, it's sick. Once the last time we've been to it? I've been in one, but like, I wear their stuff all the time. They have like the best. Abercrombie might have had the best rebrand in the history of, like, the world, possibly.
Starting point is 00:39:06 Remember if they were the moose and the cologne and like I know and it still sounds good But I went in there when we played out in Phoenix At Fashion Square Mall No joke, their shit's kind of expensive Yeah I think they want to keep the allure That they're like
Starting point is 00:39:25 Not cheap And so, but they just They have so much cool stuff I have cheese stuff from them Wait, do you feel like you're more of a bargain and cheap buyer? Are you more like, let's get, let me be booed and let me spend some money?
Starting point is 00:39:42 I don't buy, like, I don't really wear a designer. Like, everything I wear is from eBay or like Thrift Stop. Thirst Stop. Oh, the shop? Thush shop. But, Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers. And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news? Huge news.
Starting point is 00:39:57 We created our own podcast called, Hey, Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. First people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how did we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember.
Starting point is 00:40:17 I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Oh, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast. but we could call in and say, hey Jonas, and then I wrote down on my little notepad,
Starting point is 00:40:40 Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys.

Starting point is 00:43:03 I've thanks for asking that because I if I was wearing designer shit I feel like everyone else would be wearing it
Starting point is 00:43:12 and I feel like I've kind of carved my own little niche for fashion and it's very it's like individual pieces it's like stuff I find on eBay or like
Starting point is 00:43:23 cool pants from like random places and just like piecing everything together I don't really I don't think that a name like this is not so corny but like
Starting point is 00:43:32 yeah A designer name or like watch does not, like it doesn't do it for me, to be honest. I get it, but I rather like puzzle it outfit together than buy a shirt that like says fucking Gucci on it or some shit, you know? I think having good staple pieces that you can mix and match are good. I don't think I would ever buy. I don't think I would ever truly, really buy designer clothes. But I think my reasoning for it is, one, it's just too overpriced.
Starting point is 00:44:03 It's not really me, but really, like, I can't eat or go out without spilling stuff on me. I think that's an issue. That's perfect. Yeah. But what about pregame? Do you, like, do you have a stylist for pregame? Yeah, sometimes. And, like, the ones you can tell the ones that she does.
Starting point is 00:44:24 And, like, I will spend money on clothes. Like, I like looking nice and I like dressing up. Like, I think that's super fun. But I just, I'm saying, like, I can never get myself. spend like when people spend a thousand a thousand plus dollars on like a white shirt that you could literally get at zara or walmart or target that all look the same like i could never get myself to do something like that but i do like good staples and whatnot does that make sense um yeah of course i'll say i've done designer or like high-end brand stuff if i'm like borrowing it for
Starting point is 00:45:00 true like when we do like reunions and shit like I'll wear like the suit will be expensive but it's like for the day yeah and then it gets returned to like wherever yeah I think that's valid but I also think like I've done that before and then like I end up really liking the pants and so yeah maybe a couple hundred maybe you know but I wear them all the time like they get good use and they're going to last people don't talk about this enough but once you're doing stuff like your tunnel fits or like a lot of the places I'm going or on TV and now we have Instagrams, you can't be an outfit repeater. No, you can't.
Starting point is 00:45:36 Which is why I feel like I try to keep, like, make the outfit puzzle it together. So then you can kind of like reuse a piece or like something else. Yes, yes. And people might not notice, but you can't like, you literally cannot be an outfit repeater or. No, I know. But I think that's also. I think that's so good that you said that because I think when when people are like, oh, you are like no like that's a good staple piece that's what i meant by that like you good having
Starting point is 00:46:04 solid pants that you can wear with multiple outfits good solid shirt or jacket like i think that's valid because i used to not um like use a stylist that like she goes and gets the clothes and i wear them and then i give them back like i'm not paying for i'm just paying for her service but when i didn't do that you rack up so many clothes and it's like it's stupid like it's so dumb like and i I don't know. I end up giving them away anyway. So I'd much rather not pay for that type of stuff. Part of the main reason I really needed to move this summer was I.
Starting point is 00:46:37 And also like you and I get gifted stuff a lot. So there's like there's like that part of the clothing collection that like is, it just adds to it. But I would, I lived in and I split into a little New York apartment. Like there's not. You can't be a hoarder or like keep all your stuff if you live in New York City. Like it kind of, it kind of, an interesting thing with New York City apartments is you have to be creative with storage, closet space, where you're putting stuff. Like, it's, it's fun to go to those apartments and see like, oh, like you're using this for storage.
Starting point is 00:47:18 Like, here's where your suits are. Here's where your shoes are. In New York, you cannot keep the stuff. it's like really hard because you'll be overflown, like overflown. But I've learned to give, I've learned to give mine away. Like, I've learned like other people want that stuff. And like, I don't want to throw it away because a lot of this stuff is really nice. And like, I'll keep what I want or I'll use it.
Starting point is 00:47:40 And then I'll give it away. But like my house in Phoenix, I designated a whole room that is a toddler's room as another closet. And that's even over packed. I'm like, okay, this is getting out of control. Like I need to, I've been blessed with a lot. so it's time for me to give back. Did you level up, like, living situations when you moved to Indy? I used your apartment bigger.
Starting point is 00:48:08 Well, I lived in a house in Phoenix. So I don't know if it's leveling up, but I think the team housing, why is that this is bigger? But you also, like, the market of Phoenix and the market of Indy are two different. Wait, I think people would be really interested to know how that works. So, like, say you get traded. you're moving to a new city, sometimes across the country. You don't have time to probably pack up your house or move everything because you have to
Starting point is 00:48:34 press, you have practice, you have stuff to do. How does the team like help you when you're in the process of like moving to ND? Yeah. So they will, I got lucky because I had months to kind of prepare. But even with that, they will pay for, they pay for shipping. They do all that. So anything you have to move, if it's your car, plus bags, plus whatever, they pay for all that. And so each team will do that.
Starting point is 00:49:03 And then you can choose to do team housing, which is paid for by the team. You're living rent-free. Typically, you are in an apartment. Or you can get like a stipend of X amount of money a month if you want to like live, get a house or do whatever. And so I think it really depends on how long your contract is for. one. If you like the city, if you're wanting to buy, if you're wanting to be here year round, like all that stuff kind of comes into play.
Starting point is 00:49:30 But the W does give you options. I think in this next CBA, hopefully it'll be a little bit more money, a little bit better options. But I will say, like Phoenix did a really good job of, I think, in the last two years I was with them with team housing. Like we stayed up the nicest places. And then Indiana, they really take care of you here too. So I've been lucky there because there's some teams that are not great. What's the like, how long of a contract do you think someone for any sport would need before they wanted to like look into buying a house?
Starting point is 00:50:02 Like it's just so like, I don't know, not in your control that a buying would just feel like super overwhelming to me. Well, I would say, I think it depends to like, are you married? Do you have a family? Are you wanting to start a family? Do you have pets? Like all that stuff comes into play. But I do think that like if you're there for. I think two years, I would really say three is comfortable.
Starting point is 00:50:28 I think if you're there for three years, then I would look into buying a house. Even two years, because you're there a lot, right? But I don't know. I think a lot of people really still use team housing. Like, think about it. I'm 28 and I'm living rent-free. Like, I don't, besides like my phone and car, well, actually, it's starting to, but I really am kind of living expense-free besides a couple things.
Starting point is 00:50:53 So it's kind of nice. That's so awesome. Save your money, Sophie. Yeah. Okay. Well, obviously you and I been chiefs fans, but you do live in Indianapolis. Yeah. I've always wondered also as, like, professional athletes, like, you're in the city.
Starting point is 00:51:14 And, like, those fans who, like, root for the fever are, like, definitely Colts and Pacers fans. Yeah. Do you feel an obligation going into this fall to, like, you don't need to like claim the Colts or the Colts but like support them maybe pop it into a game or a little blue like or you she still and they'll never I won't even look at the Colts also Daniel Jones new starting quarterback
Starting point is 00:51:39 congrats in the universe. It's very exciting. Is that a good thing? I would probably say no. Oh I don't know what that's about. They'll figure it out. Yeah I'm not if I don't that's that's my issue is I like to kind of, is it engulf or indulge? Engulf myself? Both indulged in is probably what I would go with. I like to kind of indulge myself of where my two feet are at and like what city I'm in.
Starting point is 00:52:10 And so like when I was in Phoenix, I became a Diamondback span and a Cardinal span and like a coyote span. They moved. So like I really try to be, I want to get involved in the city. Like I like that. And so here, I've definitely become a Pacer's fan. I think that I'll definitely go and check out the Colts. Like, I don't have any beef with them. I don't, I don't.
Starting point is 00:52:31 Beautiful stadium. Beautiful stadium. I mean, I can see it. Yeah. From my apartment. But I think, like, deep down, I'll always have my team, which is the chiefs. But I'm so down to go and support the team. Like, I'm out for that.
Starting point is 00:52:45 I'm not, I'm not weird about that. I think of like, like Jason Tatum, for example. Yeah. Like, in Boston. Austin could be a Red Sox fan. That dude loves St. Louis so much that he, like, it's Cardinals hats, Cardinals jerseys, blue jerseys, like no matter what. But do it.
Starting point is 00:53:06 Think about it. He was raised in St. Louis, though. Like if we were in Columbia, where we get the pick. So it's a whole different. Yeah. Well, no, but I just mean the opportunity you have to either embrace the city that you're going to be in or just stick to like where you're from. And I don't think there's a wrong answer.
Starting point is 00:53:25 But like he fully is like St. Louis all the way. And I admire him for that. But there's also people who like, you know, do embrace the city there and then kind of like become one with that city. Well, I think that I'm not, no, I get that. And I get what you're saying. I think for me, I am not shy. Like everyone knows I'm a huge cheese fan.
Starting point is 00:53:44 Like, and I am like if Colts and cheese are playing, cheese all the way. You know what I mean? Of course. Will I go and support the Coltsburgh game? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:54 I think it's perfect. And it's just good to like, it's nice to get in front of the same sports fans who like show you love and indie and like support their other team. Like I think that's totally the right play. Wait, do you want to know something though? I will say like when I went to a Cardinals game though, the whole time I was just like kind of judging and comparing. how much better.
Starting point is 00:54:22 Arizona Cardinals. Yeah. Yeah. Like I was just comparing everything to like how much better the chiefs and our stadium and our tailgating and our fans are. Not a lot of, I am a lot more hardcore than I think. Not a lot of venues are going to compete with Arrowhead.
Starting point is 00:54:38 And you and I are biased, but I will die about hell until I'm dead. That's dope. Yeah. What else before I see X time? Hopefully you have a BM by the next. podcast. The baby mama? Kidding.
Starting point is 00:54:53 Boul movement. Oh, you knew. Hopefully you have a BN. Dude, is there anything else going in your world this week? Anything that we should look forward to next week? I did charity event on Thursday for a dog. It's not a dog shelter in New York City, but it's for abandoned dogs to like are actively being fostered and need homes.
Starting point is 00:55:17 And it was, it felt so good to like and I like when I film the show there's a lot of bars and a lot of drinking and like drama you know and it feels good to like really do something um
Starting point is 00:55:32 that like is important and like helps people and they were so thankful and so nice and like basically we got up one of my favorite bars they just brought like six of the dogs in and just let them like hang out and then the bar the bar tab um a percentage of
Starting point is 00:55:48 It went to like their medical bills and then all the people who were fostering them came to. And so like the idea is that people can meet them and then hopefully adopt. But even it's just a day to give the dogs like some love and bring them outside. It was like, oh my God. One of them, his name was Mack. We were doing a little picture booth. And he walked up and he like wasn't, like he couldn't really focus because he was like so overstimulated. And I'm sitting right by it.
Starting point is 00:56:13 And then he takes two steps across my lap and just stops and sits in my lap. And I was like, home. Heart melted. Wait, can I ask you something? Yeah. Do you think, because I think Bravo and complex and what you do has giving you the platform to do stuff like that, but do you feel like you catch yourself wanting to do stuff that is like more fulfilling? What I love naturally, probably the most apparent is like sports.
Starting point is 00:56:41 I've played sports my whole life. I feel like sports is the reason I see my family a lot in the fall. I see my friends because of sports, not just being an athlete, but the culture of sports has played a huge role in my life. And I feel like that's something. I'm just kind of not leaving despite the, like, TV show of it all. Like, I'm still doing like NFL network.
Starting point is 00:57:02 And like, I mean, I would consider you and I doing a sports podcast. But like, as far as like charity goes, I do think dogs is so easy for me just coming from, a family that has always had like animals big animals always had dogs like
Starting point is 00:57:24 not that I don't empathize with human beings like there's a zillion charities for like great causes but there's just something about animals that I feel like feels so rewarding
Starting point is 00:57:41 and I don't know how to like grow like necessarily like we're growing in like the charity lane comes, but like obviously we do have platforms and we're given opportunities to like get back. And I think I found that a lot of the times once you kind of step into something with your platform, like give it a shot, then it kind of grows on its own. So like, yeah, I did a dog event in like June and Central Park. And like I think that, you know, people saw, oh, he's doing work with like for animals in New York and then it just kind of grows. So like,
Starting point is 00:58:15 yeah, I would do that. And obviously my family has. cows and horses if someone, you know, want to do anything. But also I will say, only starts talking to someone about this last night in the little sweet, but given my mom's work, I do find like women's health and like women's rights to be something that I find interesting,
Starting point is 00:58:35 just given I've listened to my mom, learn and grow and like have so many like fierce opinions about just like where women's health is. and I feel like that's something that I've been like a little bit vocal on and we'll see if that like picks up. But I met someone last night here worked for like a woman's health charity and like I'm going to talk of him like doing stuff. So that's another niche one. But I think it's important for it to like come from somewhere so that it's not just like throwing a dart on a board and being like, oh, let me like choose to care about this now. Like these are all things that are like like I grew up caring about.
Starting point is 00:59:12 Yeah. Well, it kind of goes back to like the not to break back to this, but. it's like the same type of viber or a perspective of like going to a cerebral when it's all corporate and it's not authentic. Yeah, yeah. You're doing something like a charity or something you want to get behind and support. If you don't fully believe in it, then you're just going to have fast it. And that's never going to be good.
Starting point is 00:59:33 But like you actually are authentic and you care about it and it's something you're passionate about. Then like that totally reflects of how you're going to handle and how you're going to treat whatever. People notice that type of stuff. So I like that. And I and I have. I ran to do a lot of.
Starting point is 00:59:46 like charity events for cancer because Jesse Solomon is two-time survivor and like clearly that's such a natural cause for him to like be vocal on and get back to. And so I've been doing stuff with him and it's almost like, yes, I am with him doing something for the greater good, but it's almost like watching him get to give back in something that affected his life and something that he really, really cares about is almost like just as cool for me to do with him.
Starting point is 01:00:15 You know? Yeah. So stuff like that's super dope. I love that. I love that. I feel like that's a good way to end on like the most positive note ever. I agree. Are you going to pop some pills?
Starting point is 01:00:28 Might as well. I'm 45 minutes past. Yes, I need to. That's beautiful. We're saying goodbye so Sophie can take some painkillers. But I just want to give a shout out for the end of this podcast. Week one of college football this weekend, Montana State plays at Oregon. And I just got to say, go cats.
