Hey, everyone, welcome back to another episode of fut Around and find Out.

I'm here with my girl a shanty, Hey, a shanty.

Hey.

How are you?

How are you feeling?

I'm great.

How are you feeling?

I'm good, very festive.

As you know, the holidays are here, and so I'm feeling really good.

Christmas is my favorite holiday, and yeah, it's the best time.

That's why we're in these bright colors representing I agree.

Look at us, Look at us, red and green, looking like some ornamous on a Christmas tree, the best worments on your tree.

You know what, Let's talk about the fact that you have been off of school and it's just been straight basketball.

What's that been like?

Freedom?

It's been really nice actually to not have to worry about school and just you know, go home after practice, get to hang out with everyone.

Been having some really good movie nights.

There's been a lot of discussions about like like I want to make things with KK and maybe Clee and whoever else wants to join, but like holiday theme treats, but we'll see.

But just having like the extra down time to just chill and be with everyone has been so nice.

So that's been incredible.

I remember during that time for me, it was so much fun.

And then like my seniors at that time would be like, this is as close as the experience you get to playing pro because like all you have to worry about is playing is being with well, you know, not everybody's gonna always hang with their teammates, but this is the time where all you have is basketball and it's like the best time ever.

So I'm excited you are experience in that.

Me too.

So we got a fun guest coming on, girl Lea, Yes we do, and I'm so excited.

Yes, we have a special guest, Emmy Award winning host of NBA TV, NBA Countdown and WNBA Countdown on ESPN.

Also the first woman to host the NBA Draft, Malika Andrews.

Everybody that was so good as Shanty, that's so perfect joining us on the pod today we have Melika Andrews.

Hi, thank you for being here.

Good morning.

I'm so happy to be here.

I'm so excited to chat with you all.

It's the best way to start my day.

Oh, what was a pleasure to have you.

Thank you, Shanta.

I'm excited.

I'm excited.

Let's I mean, I am, I am, I'm a fan of the podcast, and so I'm like a little bit nervous.

So I'm excited that usual place, right, and this is.

A little bit of a turning things around for me, returning the tables.

Okay, well, let's get started our first little section.

I want it for me.

I'm a book lover, so I want to get to know I know that you're also a book lover about your love of books.

I read that in twenty twenty four you had a goal.

To read fifty books in the year.

Yes, did you have a goal for twenty twenty five to just keep.

Reading in twenty twenty nine.

Twenty four, I had sort of delusional ambition with our schedules and the way that things go reading fifty books, and I wanted to be the turning the.

Pages of fifty books.

I have since ventured into the audiobook space and I found it much easier to tackle to tackle fifty books a year.

But for me, I was always not good at math, and I always loved English, right, so I was skipping math class, don't tell my mom, and English I was forward to right.

And when when I went to college and I was looking at what I wanted to do, one of the criterias was maybe not so many math classes.

That was important to me, just because I don't like things I'm not good at, and reading is sort of always something I've devoured and stories is always something I'm looking forward to.

So anything historical fiction, anything with a female protagonist that has sort of a maybe secret, dark, complicated past that she's looking to hide, and we are guessing through it through the middle, and then there's some twistings becoming like sign me up.

I'm in for all of those, all of those sorts of books.

That is my That's it for me.

Okay, I feel like I'm going to need some book recks because I think I absolutely absolutely read.

And I just recommended this to set started a book group, and I take it as like a personal my colleague Shane gu McKay, and I take it as a personal challenge to I recommended the first book of the book group.

I'm not in the book group way.

I'm just recommending the book from the book group.

And Nekka, her sister, has an incredibly high bar for books, right, and so she and i'd been texting.

I was doing some recon on what Necca liked and my favorite book bok.

I wasn't sure if it was going to be exactly up Neca's alley, but it's my favorite book, and so I decided to take a thing on it.

Have you read The Women?

Not Little Women, but The Women?

Is that by Kristin Hanna?

No, it's on my list.

I read The Nightingale?

Is that that's her?

By her?

Right?

Did you love it?

Okay?

I loved the book, like loved, but sobbed like most of the books, but that is such That's one of the my favorite, one of the best books I've ever read.

So that's on my list.

But I was like, I need some space between reading these two books, because if it's anything like The night Gale, I'm my heart and soul.

Can't take this.

The Women will.

It's it's a beautiful, complicated portrait.

Of women in World War in the Vietnam War rather, and how women were sort of the idea of that women didn't serve in Vietnam, which they did.

But it's such a good book.

It's a beautiful book.

I didn't cry quite as much as I cried in The Nightingale, but The Nightingale is definitely definitely up there.

But you have to should please read women.

It's one of my apposute favorite books.

I reread it outside of the book club while the book club was going on.

And by the way, Neka, who is the Queen of you know, she loves a good book, but she will tell you when it's not.

She liked it, So I would say ten out of ten, you have to read it.

But how do you you're on the road and you're in buses.

Can you read it on a bus and you read?

Where do you get most of your reading done?

Easy?

Yeah, I can read.

That's a skill that I learned from going to and from AU tournaments.

I can read, do homework whatever I need and bus, car, plane, train, any moving, a boat, any moving, No, I'm good.

My bucket list.

I really want to go, which I knew someone who went to Antarctica in the last couple of years, and now I think that that would be the coolest trip to go to Antarctica.

But you have to be on a boat the entire time.

And I'm a little bit worried because there's nowhere.

You know, it's all ice that is morphing and shifting as the planet warms, and so there's nowhere to stay, right you stay on a boat, and I'm a little bit worried about the constant.

Not that I get seasick, but I can't read in the car.

That's not no good for me.

I'm a podcast girl in the car, but that's where the audio book comes in.

Are you a big reader like Asashanta?

Are you just like tearing through books.

I'm not tearing through books, but you'll tear.

I do enjoy reading, but I definitely have not been on my reading game.

So I'm really excited to hear about this.

And I know a lot of our listeners are readers, so we definitely need a top three recommendation.

So you know what's interesting, and I'll give you The Women is definitely up there.

The Nightingale is a fantastic book.

And I have a different book for different things that you want to read.

So the only one left I read recently.

I'm not sure it's a top three book of all time, but it's a top page turner of just wanting to get through and know what happens and the twists and turns and did she do it?

No, she didn't, She's misunderstood.

House on a cliff, someone was killed.

You want to know who did it.

A young caretaker comes and learns to sort of the true story.

That's fantastic.

The Women is absolutely incredible.

It's probably my favorite book right now.

I have a list.

I keep them on my phoot because people asking me this, like when they're looking for books, recommendations, favorite books.

It's for different because for different people, it's for different it's different things.

So for me, though, I started reading that fifty books.

Quest for me was because I felt like I was spending too much time online, too much time scrolling, too much time comparing myself, and I just wanted to immerse myself in characters and stories and people and ideas outside of my own head.

And I found that that was a mental reset button for me when I wanted to just go down the rabbit hole.

And there's parts of that that are required, I think for the job of knowing what's happening, of reading you know, Katie's fantastic profile that she did on you recently, asy that sort of thing.

I think that's.

Important to be on my phone and to be online and to know what's going on and see what's happening in the zeitgeist.

But I found that that became an excuse to keep going to places that didn't make me feel my best.

And so my quest to read fifty books was also to get my screen time down, because you know on Sundays when it says your screen time every week is eight hours and forty four minutes, and I was thinking to myself, geeze, is there not something else that I could be doing and learning and expanding in eight hours and forty four minutes.

And so that's where the quest of fifty books came out of, is wanting to find something a little bit richer and a little bit fuller and a little bit more interesting to make myself a little bit mentally tougher.

So that that's where that came from.

And then that's that's kind of how that distilled down, at least for me.

What are some other recks other than the women?

All right?

I think top three books, and I'm reading on her now that I might make the list, but we're not gonna We're not going to give it to that yet.

This is a very difficult question.

This is like asking to pick children.

But I think.

Three books that I've read recently in the last five years remarkably bright creatures.

The women giver of Stars.

I think I'm going to give the last one Midnight.

Library is a honorable mention.

Those are those are three, the Women Remarkably Bright Creatures, the Giver of Stars.

And then I will say that five.

Go ahead because I've got all right, this is too hard, and then we will we could be all right because I forgot the women remarkably by Creatures, the Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, then Giver of Stars, and then that's good.

Top four, that's my fourth.

Those are listen the listener I've been asking, So I'm glad you got it right here.

Hot from too heavy reader.

What wait, Ezy, I gotta get yours.

Though, Okay, so mine definitely The Nightingale Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.

I loved that book.

And then my third one, I'm not sure.

I love like a good mystery, so I don't know what my third one would be.

Oh, we have two.

An author that overlaps and a book that overlaps in the Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.

And if you're looking, if you're a girly looking to get back into reading Seven Husbands of Evel and Hugo, is that is.

The book that you got to start with.

It's fantastic, say less, I'm the girly.

My top three is like Harry Potter of the Sorcerers.

So thank you, Malika, thank you.

Actually I'm gonna got more shocked to even read that.

Those do me.

I read all seven books, really eight okay.

The seven book that was a thick I might have I might have.

Okay, that's why it was really That's why I was made into two movies.

That's why I was made into two movies.

It was there you go, seven husbands of you Goo is next.

That's you're gonna once you get that.

It's got a little it's got a little bit of the historical fiction.

It's got a little bit of the spice that you want to read alone.

It's got a little bit, it's got a little bit of everything.

Well, I will definitely be following up with you both.

And everyone.

I mean, I'm curious if everyone, If people have book recommendations for me, I am all yours, especially good books.

That's my new that's my new thing.

Someone asked me if audiobooks count.

They absolutely count one hundred percent for sure.

Okay, Well, like you have a question about your audiobooks, when you listen to an audio book, do you then tell people that you read that book or do you say I listened to it.

I listen to that book on audio, is what I did read it?

Because there are if you I think that for me, I listened to it on audio.

But if there's some people the.

Only way they're able to consume a book maybe they can't see, maybe they have a learning disability, and so I don't think it's it's it's not up to me to say that that's not reading.

I think that that absolutely is reading.

But will I listened to that on audiobook?

And there's some books that I think were better on audiobook listening to the narrator, like From Here to the Great Unknown.

It was good to listen to that audiobook.

I support both.

That was just a common disagreement in my household.

My dad would listen to books and say that he's real.

Say, yeah, I think you need a level of transparency.

I do do you listen to books?

And if so, on what speed?

I I The only time I've listened to books was in high school when I had like mandatory English readings, and like they were just so boring, Like I couldn't read them.

So I would listen on the way to school and like to practice, I wouldn't have time to read then, and I would read it like to or listen in like two times speed that I couldn't.

I was like, let's go through this.

So I started as just a like a one speed girly, and then I've went up to one point two five, and then I went up to one point three five, and I think now I'm on like one point seventy five anything else, And I was like, I don't you get into the album and the chipmunk the one point seventy five I am.

I do think when I read books, I may, I may, I may consume them better.

I think I'm more careful when I'm listening to an audiobook.

Sometimes I realized out for five minutes and I've a lot lot.

I want to kind of circle back there.

But I think it's when I I can't read in the car, So I think that that's sort of the difference.

And when I'm commuting to the show every day, I think that that's a good chunk of time to when I'm commuting to the studio to make sure I'm listening to first, I have to get through the New York Times Daily or the New York Times headlines, then the New York Times Daily.

Then I try to listen to something basketball, and then after I've gotten through all that, I'm like, now I can get to my love.

Now I can get to the audiobooks.

And that's sort of the that's the realm on the drive to work on my thirty five minute commute.

So we're trying to pack a lot in.

You got to get that one point seven times?

Yeah, how do you remember all of that?

That's all You're consuming a lot of information.

Okay, So we have some fans questions that we're going to get into.

I love it.

The first one is when did you know you want to start working in the sports and to shoot.

That's a good question.

Probably not until college.

I love sports my whole life.

My dad was a personal trainer.

I played them.

I'm so, but I didn't know what what form that looked like.

I knew that I wasn't good enough at anything particular, and I'm too competitive to get into something that I'm not I could at, so I didn't think.

I didn't think that I was going to be a professional athlete.

I didn't think that I was going to be a basketball player, and we talked about books and English and how much I loved.

All of that.

That was always sort of a hobby for me.

I didn't think that I could make a living doing it.

And then when I got to college and my best friend worked for the school newspaper, I decided I wanted to try it and spend a little bit more time with her.

And the only opening they had was in sports, and I thought to myself, wait a second, I think that I could blend these two things that I loved that I never really thought I saw intersecting, and I fell in love with it very very quickly my sophomore year of college.

It's been a heck of a ride.

And it's funny because I only ever wanted to be a writer.

I really really wanted to be a writer, and working at the New York Times was sort of my my first dream job.

And then Ramona Shelburne the profiles that she wrote, the Taffy Ackner sort of celebrity profiles that she wrote, I thought that that was sort of the lane I wanted to go into.

Mark Spears working for The Undefeated at the time and doing these really rich profiles of black athletes and.

What then, what it means to be somebody who takes up space.

And that's what I thought I wanted to do, and I felt good at it, like I felt when I was writing, and I could think about stories and take the time to go over every single word again and again and again.

I thought that's what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.

So I worked in newspapers to start my career, and then ESPN called and said, would you want to come work here as a writer.

First I was like, you know, I really newspapers has been what I really wanted to do, but the newspaper insist is changing.

And ESPN said, this is the author we can make you And I said, well, okay, And that's sort of where the pivot happened for me.

Was it was a it was a quality of life pivot.

I think working in papers, you know, the it was it was hard, right, It's you're constantly downsizing, and there's news about the papers layoffs and all of these things in the media landscape changing, and that made me nervous as a you know, twenty two year old who just wanted to have a job.

And so that's sort of how I made that pivot into writing for a digital platform, and then eventually in the bubble in twenty twenty, that morphed into more of a full time television role.

Wow do you still write?

I know, you said previously used to journal all the time.

I do journal, but I don't write professionally anymore.

There was a story a couple of years ago that I did the TV interview for and I really wanted to do a written piece to go along with it, and I couldn't find a way in that.

You know, we need this done in a week period to make it work.

I will say I love editing my sister.

I love editing my husband, and not just because I like to, you know, and but I love getting their drafts and working through it with them.

So I do.

I do that not because they need me to, but because they let me, because they know I enjoy it.

And I kind of think that someday I'll go back to it.

I think that someday, whether it's I really want to work on a book with an athlete, that's goal of mine.

And so I do think eventually I'll go back to it.

But right now, the daily I have to make myself get back to journaling, which I try to do every day, but sometimes, girl, it's hard, that's real.

I need another app twenty five hours in a day, twenty six hours in a day because I like sleep.

That's the other thing is sometimes I try to do it right before bed and sometimes just that's it.

We don't get there.

What was the like host thing the WNBA Draft Lottery?

That was fun.

Oh, it was so much fun.

The stud buds are great, you guys Courtney and the t Shaw on the show before, But that was that was amazing.

It was fine.

I've hosted the NBA Draft Lottery before and this had a different vibe to it, which I really enjoyed.

I liked having all of the reps and studio.

The thing about the Draft Lottery is, you know that there's been a drawing in a room and everyone's been sequestered, and those people in the room know the results and none of us do.

And so when it got down to the Links and the Dallas Wings, I was like, oh my gosh, the Links really going to get this number one pick after being as dominant as they were, and it went, you know, the way that.

It should with Dallas's record this year.

But how was watching the draft lottery for you, ezy, Because I think that like you could be the number.

One pick where you hoping or watching it live where you're just like, I'll just wait until later.

I've always curious what it's like for the for the players, if they were like, oh, this is where my future could be, or if you can't put that kind of pressure on.

Your I actually thought about not watching it because, like I'm and I've been very intentional this year about not letting myself get wrapped in the future and what's next, although that is coming, but I've really worked on saying present.

And so we had just gotten back from a trip, so I did end up watching.

I made KK stay.

I was doing some recovery before I went home.

We watched it together and it was I mean, it's weird watching knowing that like that is my future, that you know, hopefully things go well and hopefully like one of those teams will drop me, but just knowing that that is coming and like a few months really not that long, like that is it was very insane to think.

Is it kind of like I imagine this is what it's like.

I don't have children, but when you say, you know, oh, are you you'll be happy if it's a boy or a girl, when when as long as a child's healthy, it doesn't matter.

But then in your mind you're kind of like, I really want this or I really want that.

Is it sort of like I'll be happy no matter what.

But there's a small part of me I maybe you feel something you weren't necessarily expecting to feel when that comes up.

That's actually funny.

I feel like that's a really good comparison.

But with that, it's just the same, like you don't I don't have a say and where I get to go.

And so I feel like, no matter what team where I'm drafted, there's going to be pros and con siege, and I'll make sure to find the pros and all of it.

If it's Texas, you got some great barbecue.

If it's Minnesota, some cute jackets.

Because in the summer, so it will be.

If you're spending any time outside of the season in Minnesota.

I mean they got likes and stuff.

You know, Goose if you gotta like it, I mean you're probably on the Canada Goose Blands.

It was fun.

I really enjoyed it.

And I'm looking forward to doing more with the w you know, coming up in the future, because women's basketball it's just it's fun, it's and I love all basketball.

But there's a different whenever I go to when we were at the when we took NBA to day to the w NBA Finals for the first time ever this past year.

There's just a different energy, a different frequency to it that I really enjoy being around.

And you know, I do fun things with my style is like we only wear female designers for the WM coverage that we do, and so there's just a different there's a there's sort of an appreciation for the style that's a little bit different.

There's a fundamental to the game that's a little bit different and cleaner, and you know, so I'm I really enjoyed it, and I'm hoping you know, we didn't take NBA to Day to the w NBA Draft last year just with the timing of everything, but I'm thinking in the future that's something.

That we're going to We're going to need to do.

Oh absolutely, yeah, it's absolutely so, Malika.

We usually ask, you know, some of the players who come on what's their welcome to the league moment?

For them.

So as a reporter, what's your welcome to the league moment?

Oh, I've had a couple, I have a couple.

You can't.

You can't.

You know, if you don't play.

You're not going to get dunked on and put on a poster if you don't play defense.

Right, So that's.

That's one way to put it.

I'm going to view this last half full.

I think, you know, probably the biggest one that I've learned from.

And I've gone to Jannis and I've told him how much I learned from this in the past.

Was in what year was that, twenty eighteen maybe twenty nineteen.

It was my first year as a beat reporter.

I'd written about like right after the Bucks lost in the conference finals to the Toronto Raptors.

I'd written that Joannis was evaluating his future and it may lie outside of Milwaukee.

Now, this seems like, you know, in the face of the news in the last couple of weeks, this seems like old news.

But at the time that hadn't really been written.

And I wrote that, and I'd asked my editors if we could wait to put they at the time, they really liked to publish things like at the buzzer, because that's when it's going to get the most eyeballs, and I felt like that was a little bit sensitive maybe to run at the buzzer, but I was a first year reporter.

I wasn't going to push back that hard, and so they.

Ran it at the buzzer, and I knew in the press conference afterwards that I wanted to make sure that I asked Jannis a question because in that time, the locker room wasn't really open.

They were trying to make sure that, you know, in the face of losing, it's not exactly the time too want to chat with everybody, and so I knew I wanted to ask the question because I wanted to make sure that he saw that I was there so that if he was upset, he could let me know, because I think that that's the right thing to do.

I got the last question, and that those press conferences are on camera, so they turned the camera to me and I asked some innocuous question because I knew literally was.

Just trying to show up and just say, hey, I'm here, and I know that this thing just ran and you're probably not very happy with me.

But I asked him something about you know that they I don't remember they'd said some things about the run and what the experience maybe doesn't matter and doesn't matter now that you're looking at and I'm asking him the question, and be Honest gets up and he walks out of the room, and Chris Middleton like he became a meme and he's.

Like, what just happened?

And I was so I felt so terrible, And you know, of course that goes everywhere, and you know.

People filling in the gaps of how he feels about.

And we've talked about it since, and I've told him I would what I would have done differently, and he's told me what he would have done differently.

We were both, you know, I was twenty two, he was twenty two.

We were both just kind of trying to figure it out and figure out our jobs.

But at the time, it was like.

Everywhere from from viral all the things like Honest walked out, blah blah blah, and I I definitely He reached out to me later that night actually and told me and he apologized and I said when I like, I said, I would have done differently, But at the time, getting walked out on in a press conference.

I was like, oh my gosh, so yeah.

That was probably my first welcome to the welcome to the league moment, a welcome wow.

Yeah, So if you want to look that up.

After I felt like, you know, the walls are kind of closing in on you.

I like went to the bath room and had to like gather myself a little bit because I felt I.

Felt pretty bad.

And and again like it's a good but it's a good you get dunked on so you can learn how to you know, be in better position and rotate better.

Right, So that's what that's what I did.

Oh my goodness, look at you now.

And let's yeah, like always go back and have the conversation.

Always go back and say close done differently, yep, close the.

Loop, Malika, Who is your starting five for current women's college players?

And it doesn't have to be like the best player is just your favorites?

Oh that's a great that are currently can I And it.

Doesn't have to be me.

I won't be offended.

No, I was going to say, asy, I'll put your can.

I put you in there even if you do.

Playing right now, because I think that she when she is playing, it's one of those things where like I can't wait for her to come back and living in Los Angeles and going to those games is absolutely electric.

I'm going to say, uh, Lauren Bett's amazing, incredible.

I am going to say that's three, or that's that's three.

Yeah, that's three.

I'm gonna say Audie mm hmmm.

We covered her on the show the other day and her story was, I mean, with her with her father and just absolutely credible and by the way, like you don't want to get her on the post amazing.

And then you know what we're gonna go with.

We're gonna go with KK.

We're gonna show KK for love.

I love that the.

First time we met, we met was with a Z and I met KK was there as well at the SBS.

So we'll go with that.

How's that for my That's I think we might have some redundancy, but we were gonna, we're gonna we're gonna tack up some ws.

Oh for sure.

That seemed like, I know, you got a little squad definitely scoring one hundred plus points a game though, and.

No one scoring.

I mean, yeah, it's gonna like ve and then no one's scoring, no one scoring on.

Our on our on our on our front court.

There that's a fun locked out.

So now we're going to get into our what the fun of the week?

What the fun of the week is something that happened this week that made you say what the fun by?

What the fed of the week?

Was the Oklahoma City Thunder getting eat by Fisherwnbnyama and the San Antonio Spurs in their return in the NBA Cup.

It was their only their second loss of the season, and it was I was on the edge of my seat for that game.

I there's few things that I.

Enjoy more than watching a goliath battle with a young, hungry up and coming they got next type of squad and that game, I mean that was that was awesome.

That was an awesome game.

So that that would be my The Oklahoma City Funder racking up their second loss of the season, awesome win by the Spurs.

That definitely some of the things anytime Big is on the court, I don't know how you don't say what the fun I've never seen.

What he can do at seven foot five.

That was That's that's probably if we're sticking in the hoops world, that's my that's my what the fud?

My what the fun is?

From last week after the USC game, someone had me sign a Dallas Wings jersey and I thought it was I just always assume it's paid jersey, and like, was just signing things fast, was paying attention.

I didn't realize still, after my grandpa sent me a picture and it was someone with a FUD thirty five Dallas Wings jersey, and I was just shocked.

I was like, what the fun?

Like, how do they have this already?

That's a good one.

So I thought that was crazy.
