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

Good morning, Good morning West, how are you.

I'm good.

I think we should start this podcast episode by asking.

Sophie, did you use the restroom since last.

Do I have a hell of a bowel movement story for you?

I'm saying, oh, yes, and I think that I've lost about twenty pounds.

Oh cheers.

Oh, So then the laxatives are working.

Dude, listen to this.

So I it had been almost like a good week, and I like, I took so it says on the box to take two laxatives, and I did, and within like an hour and a half nothing was happening.

So I'm like, all right, maybe I'm just like that backed up, and so I took three more.

So I think I might have liked overdo this a little bit, dude.

I was ready to be done.

Oh, I'm not kidding.

I had no but listen, it was supposed to work within like an hour to like two hours.

I did not go until like the next day.

And then after that I was like on the toilet the entire time.

I had to cancel meetings.

My agents were calling.

I had big sponsorants and endorsementship meetings.

I had to cancel everything because I was literally all the toilet for the next day.

It was actually awesome, and only imagine how special that the whole day was for you.

Sounds beautiful.

So I don't think I'll ever do laxatives again, because I always like, it always sounds good.

But you know when you get those cramps, yeah, god you the hot sweats.

Yeah.

But I do think when you do take painkillers, especially post surgery, it's like known that you have to take laxatives to like counter the painkillers.

So you didn't do anything wrong.

Maybe it just took a lot, but I bet it was worth it.

Oh, I will never do that again.

Don't over us all laxatives.

Wow, that's a fun Labor Day weekend.

Though for you while you were on your pain meds, is that when you posted the picture of your ass on Instagram.

How did you know what?

I think?

That's what I commented.

I said, put down the killers.

So I think you did because that since surgery.

Like last episode, I don't really, I don't remember what we talked about, Like I don't.

I don't remember much at all.

Four seven and twenty four comments on that picture not bad.

That's a mistake.

It was.

It was sent around.

It was d M thirty two thousand times.

I should also I should also say how much I love Caitlin's comments on all of your risque.

It's so funny sci hater, but she does it so tastefully, like it's so funny.

She said, no, she's right what she said, geez, Sophie, and then she said like, nope.

Can't like this.

I also just like she wanted to buy a truck, I could get her a great deal, a great discount.

What is this Chevy gmc gmc?

I think that I drew a gmc at rock Ridge.

Do you remember it was red?

Yeah?

Yes, I do read that.

Yeah, so you even't had a car in six years, but here we are.

How's your weekend?

Well, I think I kind of just told you my weekend.

It was the troll is on the toilet.

I feel like I was puinging out of my ass.

So that was fun.

And I a broof trap out of that same ass.

That's horrible.

That's really bad.

My weekend great.

They also say that Labor Day is the end of summer.

I don't know if that's true or not.

But yeah, Sinna Hampton saw some friends.

Well I saw you on a TikTok.

You guys are filming for something.

There's a huge thing, and you were like carrying a spike ball and then trying to take off your berks.

Oh yeah, that was on the beach.

Whenever we go to the beach, people film us.

Yeah, and I had on socks.

I guess we could talk about that.

I had on socks under my birking socks.

Birking socks that kind of rough, and they like really rub my feet like in the worst way, and I get blisters if I don't wear socks.

I had on socks on the whole day.

Hopped it into a pair of hopped it into a pair of clogs, and then yeah, was on the beach.

Took my socks off and then walk normally And there were a bunch of people like annoyed I wore socks at the beach, but like whatever, so I wore them in the sand.

Yeah, but it was just funny.

It was like the most West thing ever.

I got so many people commenting, like, Sophie, get your man.

I was like, Oh, that's just him being him.

Fuck off everyone.

It's also chili.

I had a sweater on over my T shirt.

Like it was a nice, cool, brisk September day.

Wait, but didn't you.

I saw that you guys went to the launch a soft bar.

Yeah.

So that's been in the work for a long for a long time, full beautiful space.

Wait, tell people what SO is if they're not familiar with it.

Yeah, oh yeah, okay, okay.

So on my show, there's a guy named Carl Radkey who has been sober for.

I don't know for a fact, I think it's four or five years.

But he's he's like very passionate, very articulate, like about his sober journey and trying to like share his story with other people.

And so he is opening a bar in Brooklyn called Soft Bar, where it's I want to I want to make sure I get all the verbiages correct because he's been very intentional about it.

But it's like drinks with benefits and non alcoholic premium beverages and premium coffee.

So it's like a space where people who aren't drinking, whether that's sober for life or are just like you know, like there are so many times, especially living in New York, where I'm like, holy shit, the friends in town.

Whatever, and I want to go out, but I like really.

Don't want to drink that night, and you like can go there and have coffee like they had espresso Martini's, they had fruity stuff benefits.

Is that like that there's like vitamins and like stuff that's beneficial to your body or is it just like the comers like drinks with benefits.

Well, there are there's like mushroom coffees and stuff like that, but then there's also like so.

It's not like mushrooms.

Burning people into druggies.

No, it's not even like it's not like mushrooms that get you like fucked up.

It's like mushrooms that like have like health benefits and like zen you out or whatever.

And also people use mushrooms now a lot for like a lot of things, like it's mushroom powder.

But then there's ones with like electrolytes, there's ones with caffeine, there's one magnesium, and they're all like.

Good for you essentially, but they're beautiful.

They have like a ton of bartenders who are like very invested in what they're doing.

And so we went to like a friends and family event and got to like see it in real time.

The building looked beautiful.

I'm not just saying this.

And for people who haven't watched the show, which I know a lot of people are starting to now.

So Carl used to date Lindsay and they were engaged and they were like he was discussing this with Lindsay while they were engaged, and like she kind of shot it down.

And I get her perspective too, but I also get his.

And so for him to like actually now do it and it like be worth that cool.

The original concept was a sober sports bar, and Lindsay shot that down, and I, yeah, I think that was good for him to kind of like pivot and figure out like what this was going to be.

So I do think sports bar with no alcohol as would be a bit challenging.

Yeah, but I.

Think his view was good, but like he made it better.

This is like more upscale, and it's nice inside and it's like really pretty, and they have like an event space in the back where people can like have meetings and present and talk, and like they have a pop up bar in the back like where people who are introducing Like now there's so many like drinks that have like THHC in them and like all these like just interesting weird pivots on like drinking alternatives, and so people can go like try to you know, test out their products in his bar, so.

Like it'll be it'll be fun.

But we went to that and showed some love.

No, it looked, it looked beautiful, and I was really excited for it to talk about it because I think next time we should go there when I'm in New York.

But I think it's really smart that he actually put an event space because you can make more commission back there, so you're not just relying so heavily on the drinks, you.

Know what I mean.

So why he's he's getting it from both sides, that sounds.

Carl is also probably the biggest like sports fan on our show aside from me, and so he well, yeah, when we launched this, he was like stoked because he obviously knows who you are.

Wait, can we get Carl on the show?

Yeah, Klara would do this in two seconds.

He would be he would be thrilled.

He's from Pittsburgh.

He's like he's got like Midwest sports in his blood.

You know.

Oh dude, that just like fucking hype me up.

How are you doing?

So?

I'm good, but I just have a lot to get off now that I'm in a right mind.

Oh yeah, kick balls back.

I've been dying to ask, are you hurt yourself?

Did you guys win?

No?

So we just got like let in.

So it's like season starts in two weeks.

But we like our team got into the league that I was like really nervous, we weren't going to get in.

Uh.

It sells out fucking so fast, and I was not paying attention and like missed it.

But the way they do it is they used to have people could join by themselves and just be like free agents and send to other teams, and now, uh, they like it's only teams, so there's like a lot of there's no space for if you don't fill your team up, So then if teams don't fill her off, you have to I'm sure have more than like fifteen, but we have like twenty five.

It's fun, but I was so nervous that they weren't gonna let us in and I was like, I don't know how to tell you guys that this means everything to me.

And I don't get to like I'm not I like have to be in a sports league in the fall or I will fucking die.

And uh, it finally happened.

God bless Thursday Nights in Chelsea.

But I think we're gonna have to start doing It's gonna be a weekly segment.

Is you're gonna have to say what was the score?

And I'm gonna give.

You dude, We're actually curiously how does every if you have twenty five people?

How does everybody play?

Not everyone's playing in the field at once, but like you go through your whole like.

Well, line up.

Five.

We will ask, but it's, uh, it is co ed.

So it's like you can't have dudes kick more than three times in a row.

So girls have to be like in the batting lineup like so frequently, and you have to have at least five girls in the outfield at all times.

Wait, can I say something mean?

Yeah, it's like not mean, because I know I should be more about like women's sports, But like these girls on your team, do they actually know how.

To kick a ball?

Or is it like oh gos or she's on.

No.

That's why kickball is the best co ed sport is because you can, like everyone can kick a ball and baseball, kickball is so random, like where the ball falls.

Like a lot of the girls who are just like I'm here for the T shirt, Like they still kick singles all the time.

Yeah, I pop out more than some of the girls do.

It's uh, it's a kid or miss.

And it's also big round fucking red ball.

So like the most hype moments in kickball are when one of the girls who's like not paying attention in catches a pop fly and all the dudes are like, let's fucking go, like just so hype for her, you know, and it's beautiful and it's truly beautiful.

Well, I just love I just remember last year you would be playing and you guys would all be wearing like your I think it's like a blue was it a blue shirt?

I've been I've been blue, orange, yellow, and pink in order.

Yeah, I can't remember but you guys would always go and then you guys would all go drink after like via like die bar, like burgers, And.

So here's the thing.

Every game on the schedule is worth two points, so you would either be one.

You would either be two and oh or zero and two.

After the game, then you go to the bar and you do.

Best of seven flip cup against the team that you just played, and then that's one more point for the night.

So flip Cup is a part of your record.

You have to go, whoa soul?

Could you be two in one?

Yeah, so you could be like if you won the kickball game but then lost flip cup, you're two and one for the night, So then that's your record.

So then you're you're like you're stacking like a lot of numbers.

But that's actually dope.

I thought you were actually just going for like make it a tradition, but the fact that they put that in there too is kind of fun.

Yeah.

So then you're like playing the team and like you can it's to either salvage the night or like really put a stamp down at the bar.

And it's so fun and that gets like more intense sometimes that even kickball because like it put someone in and they can't fucking land the flip Cup and you're like, dude, get out here, like see you later, like we need someone good, which, yeah, so you should come.

Oh great.

Well, actually I was thinking about maybe I could do a guest appearance, but I anything even regarding walking, You're trying to sit on the toilet just kills my knee.

So I can't even imagine trying to fucking cable.

Do you know, it's so crazy.

My biggest memory, like bad memory from when my leg was broken post surgery, was trying to sit on the fucking toilet and I couldn't get up and I couldn't bear weight on my left side, and I it made me want to cry every single time.

So just so I'm thinking about you.

Thank you, But I've all my appearance to Flip Cup.

I guess I just realized you probably won't be good until when's your time?

When's your timeline for.

Return?

They say like four months?

Yeah, they say like four months.

I'd say like January February.

But I feel like, I it's not tiny say anything, but I think I heal quicker and recover quite fast, and so maybe a tab before but Oh.

My god, what's knock on wood for that one?

Probably smart?

I don't have wood around me.

So CC new logo fucking sick?

Do you like it?

Are product her?

And honestly, I'm really proud of all women in our league that have a logo because they truly are all badasses and they deserve it, and so I do.

Think Caitlin was next, and yeah, like it's it's so simple, but it's still abstract and confusing enough that it fits her perfectly, and so I'm excited, like it's it's awesome.

She deserves it.

I want I want one of her little diamond necklaces.

I don't want the T shirt.

I want the diamond necklace she had.

So maybe jewelry.

No, but she's just you know, sporting all of her like little bougie diamonds and shit.

So I might have to steal that from her locker when she's doing rehab.

But is it?

Is it the logo like in the diamond form?

Yeah, that's tight, that's super.

She she walked in was like when people get logos, like brands and everyone, they go all out.

So like she came in with like pants that had her logo.

I think there was a sweatshirt that her boyfriend Connor was wearing.

Then she had like a diamond necklace that had it, so they they swacked her out.

But I'm I'm pumped for it.

She deserves it.

What to you is is like a beautiful, perfect basketball shoot.

Like, do you ever wear low tops?

I feel like, no, always wear low tops.

You do wear low tops?

Yeah, so I don't know how people hoop with low tops on why do you tape?

Then?

Well, after I fucking broke my ankle, Yeah, but no, I hadn't taped for four years.

That's absolutely mind boggling to me.

Why well, what about like that, there's no you have no ankle support if you wear low tops and don't don't tape.

Well, I have strong ankles, Like I feel good.

I guess yeah I will.

If you know, if you have two good shoulders, are you gonna wear a shoulder raise?

Uh No, But it's sleep like, it doesn't impact, like it doesn't get in the way I feel like.

But anyways, because like I'm trying to think of signature low tops, like I think Kobe's are lows, but everyone.

Else so really pretty much everyone has.

Like a lot of people have like top mid and lows, so they kind of can get hit all markets.

Like it's a good strategy.

Some people like Harden.

Harden kind of stays with the mid because that's like that's the only thing he wears and whatnot.

But I like basketball shoes that are like tennis shoes, so it's not like it's like I'm running around in the backyard, you know what I mean?

Like I don't want something that's chunky.

I want something light and something that's like I'm just on a walker on a run.

Who's your brand?

Oh, I'm Adidas Striped Baby.

I'll give you some Adidas.

You need to start rocking it.

They're they're great, great people too.

When did they sign you?

I think like four years ago.

But I just resigned an extension.

But I'm trying to kind of hope that maybe we can switch that contract up because I think they they got me for a steal after I beat somebody up.

What goes into signing with a shoe brand as a basketball player, Like.

Is it the best offer?

Is it?

Do you try to stick with who you wore like in Calle?

What's that process?

Honestly, I think for me it's best offer, But I were Nikes all growing up, and I remember I had a couple of Adidases, but I loved Adidas.

But like just our high school, we'd get free Adidas.

From like the because you get like a team whatever team shoe.

And then in college I enjoyed Adidas, That's right.

Yeah, and then Miszoo was Nike, and so I just kind of got stuck wearing Nikes.

But then I switched and like the thing that I love about Adidas.

Honestly, their bascal shoes are amazing.

And I'm not just saying that.

They have a lot of good athletes who have great signature shoes and whatnot, but their street wear is so fucking swaggy, like our style, top notch, like tough notch for sure.

If you are signed with Adidas, can you like be seen in public in a Nike shoe or do you like have to have Adidas on at all times and have to be conscious.

Of what you're wearing.

Well, I don't have to be conscious because I actually prefer Adidas now that I'm wearing it, and I'm an athlete, Like I'm not kidding, There's stuff is just way more comfy.

Their shoes are swaggy, like I'm not I actually want to wear it.

I don't know.

I'm just saying that for real, Like, yeah, I think everyone was mad to be honest about it.

But there is one time that I was It was winter and I was self tanning because I had in a band and I.

Just threw on this like huge baggy T shirt.

I think it was like one of my ex boyfriend shirts and it was Nike, and I posted something on Instagram and I got in huge trouble.

Yeah yeah, yeah, huge trouble.

And I was like, oh my god.

I was like, I am, I'm so sorry.

I was like I was trying to find a dirty T shirt so I didn't like Rooin one.

But it's fine.

But yeah, yeah, you'll get in trouble for all that.

That makes sense.

I do show they're bringing you and giving you free produits, you should get in trouble.

Yeah, I agree.

But I always think when it's clothing wise, like you're not necessarily going outside to like post, but if you were, like if you were seen in something like that would be crazy.

But I do want to bring up one thing.

This podcast has made quite a splash in the WNBA world, whether that's you being fined or just people like locking in and Skip Bayless the biggest shit talker, dumb idiot in media.

I watched the tape.

It felt a little click baity headline wise, because he didn't dum actually come at you that much.

But the headline said, what's something cloud chaser?

Fucking I don't know, dude, Skip, who's the cloud chaser?

You're literally using my name as your headline so people can click on it, and like, my thing is, I don't mind the guy, Like I don't mind the guy, like I have no beef with you.

I've never met you.

I've actually really never listened to you, Like I don't like.

I just some kind of in my letting.

And someone sent it to me and I was like, what is this?

He's called me cloud chaser?

Dude, you're the one who has my name plastered all over your freaking YouTube that had thirty six views, like get out of here.

Pretty awesome, But that's kind of all he's done his whole career, So it's just funny.

I listened to it, and like he was I think he was being complimentary in some areas, which like I guess, thank you, but like for people who know me, and people who've actually been paying attention to basketball before Caitlin got here or when she did get here, they start paying attention to everyone.

I've always been this way, like.

I've always been Like in college, I was that way, like don't like, don't mess with my teammates, don't mess with me, don't mess with my teammates.

I'm feisty, I'm sassy, I'm I'm goofy, like I'm probably the most unseerious person that you'll ever meet.

And people who don't know me probably think.

That, like I'm a big bitch, which I could probably understand that, but like him him coming at me, and I'm like, dude, you you.

Just sound so typical, So just get off my screen.

I stopped watching.

Now that you do play with I guess you've played with superstars in Phoenix too, but like Caitlyn is like one of one, I guess, but like to have people tried to use your proximity to joining a superstar to like diminish your not legacy, but like your ability to play basketball, your ability to be your own brand, your ability to be your own person.

Yeah, I think I think it's funny that people always First of all, I just have a lot to say about this, So just give me, give me my my soapbox for like too many.

Yeah, yeah, I want you to I want you to go.

Here's my thing.

People are like like skip and others like, oh, she's just stagnled.

No, I actually like Caitlin and I'm just being real and truthful that she has.

She has brought millions, millions.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's billions of eyes onto the W and onto women's sports, Like she is a Kobe Bryant and that's how That's how Diana was, That's how Sewer's was, Like, that's We've had these types of people, but this is just bigger because the media platform is bigger than it ever has been.

And so I'm just I don't know if I'm only the only ones who are.

I don't have an ego, so I'm able to just tell the truth.

Like if it was someone else, I'd like, yeah, like Angel Reese, She's also brought millions of fans, you know what I mean.

I think Caitlyn has brought way more, but I also think she has too, Like I'm just not naive and I might be blonde, but I'm not fucking dead.

So people are saying I'm clas chaser.

No, I'm just being honest about why the league is where it is at, like give give the girls the flowers, like, give it to them, they deserve it.

Whatever.

And then when people like come at me and like, oh, she averages eight points a game, and.

I'm like, yeah, and how many pro sports minutes have you played?

Like, and what do you do?

You're sitting on your couch just talking shit on me.

All right, well you bring an attention to me, You're making me more money, so keep talking your shit.

But my thing is also like if you really do your research, like I don't know, I've been show the shit out of the ball like I've been I've been playing.

I'm all about scoring, like I've literally been the blue to our team, like I'm our energy, I'm our like I know what I bring to the table.

So you try to come at me, you will never.

Get to me because first of all, I don't care enough, and sacon of all, who are you Like?

I just get two shits and I think that's my biggest My best attribute is I don't give a shit, And sometimes that's why I get fined because I don't give a shit.

So for people who come at me and any kinds of stuff, good for you, Like, I hope you got your rocks off.

It is interesting how the in sports in general, just the closer you are to someone who's already established, people use that to like diminish your game, and it is it'll be this way forever.

You know.

Towards the end of the season, shit, I was like averaging like fifteen, I was.

I had one of the best percentages of the W.

I think I was leading the W and percentages at three points.

So like, I know what I bring to the table, and it's not like I'm out here like, well, I'm better than Caitlin and I'm better than the FISA, and I'm better than Like I'm not comparing my I hate.

All those are freaking superstars.

Like I know my lane.

I stay in my lane, but I also talk my shit too, and I'll back up people that I love.

And for me backing up Caitlin or people talking shit trying to minish me, like I don't care, Like you're still making me money because you're talking about me, so thank you.

Fuck yeah.

So uh, speaking of people, getting roughed up on your team.

Our sweet girl Lexi with the double black eyes sick picture.

Though that she'll get to keep forever and show her, you know, her grandkids and be like I was eating elbows in the WNBA for a long time.

But I don't know.

I know we got.

A tread lightly with ref talk, but like, just run me through what you saw and tell us how tough Lexi is.

First off, well, I don't think I have to to numb it down.

I think if I say the word ref on this podcast.

I'm going to get fine.

Some might as well go balls.

To the wall.

First of all, have you seen like the pictures though of Lexi?

Yeah?

Yeah, we're rude, all it's crazy.

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

It's a darkness Scarra, Yeah yeah something.

So what kind of really pissed me off about last week are three things?

And again I was high on meds, but it's still triggered my hate for the refs.

So they were playing Minnesota, which Minnesota is.

A great, great team, but I think that what is kind of getting out of hand is the rest are making allowing it to be too physical, and then then people can get away with certain stuff, and then that's when emotion's flair, and that's when you kind of see fights.

Are people doing things that they probably shouldn't be doing.

And so there's a jump ball and we can play the clip.

There's a jump ball and they called it or they called a foul whatever, and then after the play McBride, who is a hell of a shooter, she's been shooting the shit out of it.

She's a great, great player, so I'm not going out her in any way.

But she had an extra movement after the ball and just elbowed and nailed Lexi right in the fucking face, like too much, way too much, and Lexi like it was bad and that should have been upgraded because I know if I was anyone on our team, if it was me, probably because I talked shit on here and then my reputation, they would have probably thrown me out.

And so that's that's not okay.

So that happened to like she got nailed, like probably was concussed.

I have no idea.

I felt so bad for the girl.

She's probably the one of the toughest players you will ever meet.

And I think that's why I love her so much, because she was just plays hard and she's fucking tough and she's a great teammate, great person.

Yeah, and then the next game we played Seattle, who's also a great team.

They're kind of struggling.

We beat them, who by like twenty wait, so.

Big margins of victory the last few days.

And then her and Gabby, which Gabby's awesome, she's like one of my good friends.

She did not mean to, but her and Lexi on accident nailed each other.

And then that's where lex immediately had like a huge knot.

That's what gave her the black guy she loved, like an avatar.

She sent me a picture and I like facetimed her immediately and I was like, dude, are you okay.

I was like, there's no way you're not concussed, And I like texted Caitlin immediately during the game.

I was like, how can cuss his legs?

And Lexie's like, actually, it kind of woke me up, Like I think my journaline him and like I feel better than I have like the past couple of weeks, Like I'm not concussed.

I feel good and I was like, there's no fucking way, and so she's good, but she looks brutal.

But I did not like that one against McBride.

And then the Gaby accident was just an accident.

So that I feel like if there was anyone who would endorse the refs letting girls play, letting the game flow, like, let it be physical as long as you're calling it fair, I think that that would be you are.

Like I am for physicality, but like you've got to there's a certain weird elite level athletes and it is physical and you get frustrated, you get tired of people hitting you.

But yeah, it's going to get out of hand.

And that's where I think everyone is just like like jump balls, call it your call fast, so then you're.

Not get it over.

Yeah, yeah, just do it.

Like both teams want you to call it, so just call it.

You know what I mean.

It's just like little things like that.

And then Kelsey Mitchell, we went to LA and beat LA, which was a huge, huge win for us.

When it comes to where we're at and the standings and wins and losses and whatnot.

She Kelsey Mitchell should be MVP.

She is playing the best basketball anyone has played all year.

She has been playing the best basketball her career.

She's a phenomenal player.

Nobody can stop her.

Literally, Wes when I tell you, no one can stop her.

It doesn't matter who you have on her, any defensive scheme.

She's still scoring thirty on your head like it's insane.

Oh but she had the ball at the top of the key and right in front of her breath.

Kelsey Plum literally grabbed her arm and like kind of flung her around, and Kelsey likes, fun, how are you not calling that you're protecting all the other stars in the league.

Why would you not protect Kelsey like that?

It's just like stuff like that that just really grinds my years.

And then that's You're fine, right there, Sophie, Wait, what did I say?

You just said you're protecting all the other stars.

How are you not protecting.

Kelsey?

I didn't even think that was bad, but it's good.

But just.

Sensative people are sinsy.

So enough about the w I think that I've said enough.

I got my my rock.

So because I'm trying to trying to protect my girls, because it's just been ridiculous.

So yeah, time for West World, Dude, are you so high for the NFL's fort week Like, give me everything.

This is like why I was put on this earth is to wake up in the morning, go get maybe a little iced coffee, and turn a corner in New York City and then have a fall breeze fucking hit me right in the face and be like, oh, I'm gonna need to put a hoodie on and and then drink beers and watch football this weekend.

Like I just fucking love the fall, Sophie.

It is so fun and it just makes me so happy.

And she yeah, she's Fontana State.

I've been paying more attention to Miszoo honestly in the last few years.

But there's just something about a fall breeze and football.

Like I'll also say this New York City in the fall, like the city is like there's a lot of transplants, right, so everyone's from everywhere.

A Sunday in Manhattan is just a bunch of groups of friends in different bars and everyone's got their stuff on from where they're from, like Chiefs for me, like there's Vikings.

People over here.

There's like it's just is so cozy and there's so much good energy.

I can talking about this for a whole podcast episode.

It is just a related since the most like exciting and like like awake in high five seeing you since we've started this podcast, and I think it's because the NFL is here and follows.

Yeah, and it also helps that like, yeah, the NFL is quite fun and being a Chief fan the last few years, there's a lot of other teams we you know, could have to be born in that state, but we weren't to We were lucky.

But uh yeah, Chiefs play the Chargers on Friday.

They're playing in Brazil, which the NFL now is like going international, like super hardcore balls to the wall.

I think it's eight different countries this year.

Wow.

And a lot of people also just say we don't have to get like two into the weeds.

But like.

The media loves and I get it honestly to a point where you like need to say different shit and like you can't just beat a dead horse and say the same stuff, and like, oh, we love the Chiefs, but like people have picked the Chargers and the Broncos to win AFC West.

They think the Chiefs will make the playoffs.

But they've been saying this for the last seven years, and at this point I kind of just like stay quiet and wait until the middle of the season when the Chiefs like yeah, and then they have like a two game leading AFCUS and people just have to realize that they're wrong again.

I get that that people get tired of the Chiefs and people wouldn't, but like in history, when you look back in twenty five fifty years, like, why would we not embrace this time that we're watching a freaking dynasty.

Why do we hype that up?

People get bored and people it gets old and that they're easy to do, want new stuff and get jealous.

You know, work harder, get better athletes, pay them more.

But it's not boring if you're a Chiefs fan.

I will say though, that part of the reason why the Chiefs being good, or why NFL dynasties are so much harder to come by, is that the NFL does have a salary cap, and so you can't, unlike baseball, like everyone's paying their their team accumulatively the same thing.

So like the structure and the way that these owners and gms have to like build a team and somehow keep them keep success going is like really really impressive.

And yeah, Micah Parsons just got traded to the Packers.

And he know, I saw that.

I just start to bring that up.

She's making more than Patrick Mahomes, like on an on a.

Year to year salary salary.

Mahomes' contract obviously is like super deep and he signed it for like ten years or whatever.

But like Mahomes knows he makes money and endorsements, he knows that he's getting he wants, he's going to be remembered by Super Bowls and team success, so he takes less money and like, tell other qbs to take less money.

The Dak Prescott makes so much money and they're fucking horrible.

Well, I just wanted to say that.

I think I think people are so worried about that number that they sign, and to an extent, you should be in a way.

Yeah, but if everyone is taking less and you're able to stack a team and you win and you continue to win, the all of that is going to come back through endorsements and other things.

Times twenty.

So it's just like, let your ego, so who cares what your salary says?

Can be good?

Stack your fucking team go win a championship, and now everyone's thriving.

It just makes sense to me to take less so you can stack your team.

I think it's easier said than done, for sure, especially when you have an agent in your year who also makes money off of what your contract is.

And as professional athletes, your window for making a lot of money is obviously shorter than if you were like an orthopedic surgeon or whatever like you you have like.

Ten years if that.

So I get it, And I'll never be.

A hater for someone like taking like getting their bag when they need to.

But there are instances where like Tyreek Hill left the Chiefs for like a little more money, and like he was, he was already established, the Chiefs would have paid him well.

And if I'm him and my QB is Patrick mahone Home and I'm playeex to Travis Kelcey and my head coach is Andy Reid, yeah, I would hope that I could recognize in that moment that, like, it's probably better for me to stay in Kansas City than go to Miami where so many there's so many question marks and make a little more money.

There's also no income tax there, which is kind of cool, but you know, for sure can I get that?

And I will never hate on someone going to get the brag like you said.

But I also think winning helps everybody, and winning helps your brank account and winning helps everything.

So you also have to money is the root of all evil too.

So mm hm?

Is he still is Tyreek Kill still on Miami?

Yeah?

Yeah, because I'm actually going to the Colts in Dolphins game on Sunday?

Oh did I?

Did I inspire you to go?

Yeah?

I want to travel with the team.

And like one of my best friends from au ball, she's married to Zach Steeler, who is He's like a really good he sacks the quarterback.

What is that about?

Yeah, Sophie lock In and.

They are an awesome, awesome family.

Love that.

Well, anyways, I think it'll be good.

They'll probably push you on the jumbo t're on and go just plant those Indianapolis roots, you know, show them that you care.

And that's good dude.

So what are you?

Who are you like looking forward to?

Though, like I haven't, I've kind of been in my own world, So like what do I need to be watching out for for week one?

Week one?

I just now to be so honest, like this is crazy and super spoiled.

But I.

The Chiefs just.

Whatever they do in the regular season, I don't put all my fucking coins into it because they they peak in December and then they turned ship up when the playoffs start, like they.

Can do it.

They can do it.

Yes, I agree.

I think with the Chiefs, you always want to see how they drafted and see if there's any rookies that are going to like ball out, and I think they're this is going to be like super random for you, but yeah, you have to a left tackle who I think is going to be really good for Ohio State, and some skilled players across the board, and so you kind of just like see how Andy Reid like peels back to layers and test things out and then.

We'll sit on stuff until the playoffs.

But for me, it's just like.

For me, it's just like the camaraderie of football season, people just tailgating, going out, going to bars, going to games, traveling away like it just it's lovely.

So hey, and for our listeners, I think we're going to go to a couple of games and maybe do a couple of live shows.

I think it's in the works.

So kind of people are dying, dude, people are dying for some merch.

Say what and we're gonna do it?

We should do an episode from Andy's bus.

Yes, on top of the bus.

The cool bus.

I think to kick football.

If you're gonna do a little Chiefs trivia.

Oh you and I I'm gonna be so bad at I.

Didn't write these questions.

These are our boy, Kevin.

You're like all these I'm not going to know anything.

Kevin told me that they're really hard, So all right, you ready?

Right?

She stafeta the forty nine ers and took home the title in Super Bowl L I V I think it's fifty though, super Bowl fifty?

What color was the gatorade bath after the win?

A purple?

B orange, c red or D yellow?

I've got it between two.

Yeah, it's not purple, I think it is.

Oh?

Is it?

If I'm going a.

Okay, well I think I'm going to go D yellow.

It's orange, damn it?

All right?

Oh no orange?

All right, well it's fair.

Screw that one up.

That's okay, Okay, I got number two.

Yeah.

Patrick Mahomes is the fastest quarterback in NFL history for each how many passing yards.

My first thought is you just go the the first one, because like if he was cruising that fast.

But I don't think ten thousand, I'm gonna go see twenty thousand.

I don't really know.

I think I'm gonna go B.

Twenty thousand.

See, all right, that's one question three.

He won a national championship at Texas in two thousand and five, alongside freshman teammate Vince Young.

Who is this former chief.

All Pro running back A Priest Holmes B Jamal Charles, see Derek Johnson, D Larry Johnson.

Well again, I don't even know how old I was in two thousand and five, but I kind of feel like A Johnson is calling my name, so I'm gonna have to go see Derrick Johnson.

Johnson is calling your name?

WHOA I can tell you see is gonna be wrong because Derek Johnson played the linebackers, so this won't be him.

I said, D, not c oh D whatever Larry Johnson.

I said see, I said see.

I'm gonna go be Jamal Charles, even though Pries Holmes also went to Texas.

I think Jamal Charles.

Fuck you know what?

No, because pre Solmes played for the Chiefs in the early two days.

So I'm gonna go Jamal.

I'm gonna go Jamal and Hope.

Yeah, I'm gonna go Jamal.

Charles b y.

R.

Dude, some people just have these brains, and you have this brain.

Well, I I'm really good.

I'm really good at where people to college because I care about it.

So I don't even know if I have a brain.

Oh my gosh, you are.

You're really good at this?

All right?

No, for real?

Okay?

Number four and Netflix is happy Gilmore too.

Travis Kelcey fires Bad Bunny from his restaurant after the after he offers Pga proke offer Jordan's spife.

Is that how you say it?

Speak speak?

Well, I'm gonna say a spike kind of like I said Giselle.

Which item below a salad, B bread, sea champagne, d lobster.

Okay, so I watched I'd be Gilmore too, but I was not locked in at all.

So I actually don't know the answer.

But I'm gonna go a salad.

I'm gonna go.

This doesn't count.

I was on medication when I watched this.

That's even more the reason to pay a hand.

I do feel like it we something simple, you go solid, I'll go bread.

All right, be bred?

I love?

Here we go.

What is the average price of a beer at Arrowhead Stadium?

Oh?

Wow?

A seven ninety seven B A fifty five, C nine ten forty one.

So I did see this on Twitter the other day and it was a list in order of all the NFL stadiums from least expensive to most expensive beer prices, and the chiefs were like very moderate.

But I'm trying to remember what the moderate was.

I kind of it's gonna beer.

See though, I'm gonna go go.

I was gonna go be so then I'll.

Go, well we could just go.

Will you both be right?

You want to go be together?

Yeah?

Do that to be together?

A fifty five?

Fuck me?

Oh all right, here we go.

In the early two thousands, Dante Hall, nicknamed the Human Joystick for his profound kick return play, spent one season in the NFL Europe before returning to Kansas City.

Which team did he play for?

A?

The Amsterdam Admirals.

How do you know this is a thing?

Uh?

B the Hamburg c Devils, see the Scottish Claymares or d the Frankfurt Sausage.

Uh what is this a fake?

Is this a fake question?

D He's gotta be fake the Frankfurt Sausages.

But is there an NFL Europe?

Yeah, well you have a lot of dudes who play there.

It's just like kind of you don't want to give up the dreams, so you just go to Europe and get your housing paid for and play football.

All over Europe.

There's no way that there's a team called the Sausages.

I'm going to go to Amsterdam Admirals and that just feels right to me.

What the fuck are you guys sure this is real?

Is our producer messing with us?

Okay, well I guess I'll go.

I'll go to Sea Devils.

The Scottish Claymores.

Damn, it's beautiful.

Okay, last one and I'm getting my ASKI.

Fifteen years ago, Patrick Mahomes appeared in the Junior League Baseball World Series championship game now known as the Little League World Series on ESPN, representing Tyler, Texas.

He recorded the game's first RBI.

What team did he play against?

A?

Soul Korea B Toronto, Canada, see Taypepei, Taiwan, and D San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Dude, you know what.

They love baseball in Korea, not that they don't in Puerto Rico, but they love baseball in Korea.

I'm going to lock in Soul, South Korea somewhere.

I'd like to go on vacation soon, so I'm going to go Puerto Rico.

Wow.

Fun.

I don't even know what our final score was.

I know I have one.

I think I had too one.

Let's go play flip cup two rounds to see if I can catch up.

Perfect good callback.

With that, I think we hop right into our new segment called tell Me Something, and we set up a voicemail for people to just to ask us shit and uh it's a five seven three area code number, which is dope.

And I think we're just gonna answer some questions from people who called us.

I hope it was not my mom.

Is it her just saying she loves us and hopes here having a good day, or it's.

Your mom while she's delivering Lindsay's baby, And like everything that goes into play.

With that, she's dilated.

Just on voicemail.

Here we go.

My name is Elizabeth and I'm from a very and I have a question and a challenge for Sophie.

My question is, here's your really favorite player to guard in the league.

And my challenge is I challenge.

Your game of Horse Okay, Elizabeth Okay, Lizzy.

Horrors makes me ner I would think when I just think of just people who I just feel hopeless against, I would have to say John Quell Jones from New York.

She's just so strong and tall and just good.

So I'm gonna have to go there because I just kind of get put in a position as like a small four to maybe sometimes guard her, and it's just never good.

And then a game of Forrest, Girl, I'm so down.

I I you sound confident.

I'd like that kind of makes me nervous.

First shot, are you gonna go trick shot or are you just gonna go like left handed layup?

You keep it simple.

I know something.

I beat so many people off layups, and if you do them enough, people will miss m h and they're strong hand too, So like I'll do some jumpers, I'll do threes, I might do a couple of trick shots, but when it comes down to their last letter, I stick with layups because I get in their heads so much and they miss on layups on the last letter every.

Time, so incredibly interesting.

Take.

But that's good.

I think I'm psycho.

I like to mentally break people down.

That's awesome.

That's killer instinct.

Maybe that's why I never kept a boyfriend.

I would do granny shots and behind the back.

All right, here we go.

This is from John.

You ready, m hm, Hey, guys, you're on here.

Heyl see what she's calling about.

The upcoming game to clean with Zoo in Kansas for the first time in a long time.

And so hang in there, girls, Throw all you girls over there.

Be good.

Fuck yeah, John, I'm mister Brice, so.

You fuck you.

I love that ship.

I'll give you the floor.

I'll give you the floor.

If mine was good, i'd be jumping around this breaking apartment right now.

I am so pumped for the boarder war.

God.

I hate Kansas.

I hate him.

I hate him.

But injected mister Brightside into my damn veains.

Oh my god, I'm so hyped.

Uh so.

The Miszoo Ku for everyone who doesn't know who's like not from Missouri.

Missouri and Kansas hate each other.

It was the best rivalry game I've ever seen.

Uh growing up, football and basketball, all sports Honestly, there's like crazy, crazy civil war ties that we don't have to get into, but there has been hatred between both states for the longest time.

Even the team's mascots go back to his score historical like little Militias and Lawrence and in Colombia.

I will say, unfortunately, Missouri was on the wrong side of history when the Civil war issues were unfolding.

I think it was like the eighteen fifties, eighteen sixties potentially, but regardless, the hate is there growing up.

I think I was in.

I was either in seventh grade or eighth grade the MISSOI is number four, Ku is number two.

Both I think had like one loss.

They played the game at Arrowhead.

It was.

Speaking of Chase Daniel.

That was his team, Chase Daniel, Jeremy Maclin, Sean Witherspoon, all those dudes.

Oh good gosh, zoo one.

But it's a it's a beautiful game.

I think that the status part about all the new conferences are like, we've lost so many games like that, and yeah, I can't believe that the game even lost itself.

But dude, but I'm so glad they're bringing it back because at the end of the day.

It just brings back like just good memories for everyoneories, you know what I mean, And its just like it's the continued tradition.

And like I just watched it thirty for thirty literally yesterday on Catholics First Convicts.

The Ohio or Notre Dame versus Miami.

Have you heard about that rivalry?

Yeah, that was because Notre Dame has never been in a conference.

That one just like happened on its own, Like it's kind of dope.

Yeah, but I watched the whole thirty for thirty and it was awesome.

And now like I'm so invested that they brought that one back.

Like I love a good border war and they always get out of hand and I get that, but like on both sides, like yeah, you gotta kind of up and whatnot.

But like I will I hate Kansas and I Kayla and Shay Love remember they went to our high school.

They will play there and my cousin goes there, so like I have people that I love there, and like if it's not really like basketball or football or I guess if we're always playing, I will always hate Kansas.

But then like I don't really hate Kansas.

Lawrence there Lawrence is a very cute town too, but sports wise, and I've been detached from the University of Missouri sports for a while.

But I will say I was raised to hate Kansas.

Both my parents, all my family wents Miszoo.

They hate Kansas.

Everyone where I grew up hates Kansas.

Yeah, it would be a disservice to not care about this game on Saturday.

And so with that, I will say, m I zee you.

Better because I'll kill you.

I'll be on to do a single, a solo podcast for the rest of my life because you're good.

Uh.

Did you you guys play them in college?

Nope, they wouldn't let us do it because they were too scared to play us.

They brought back the men's game, but they wouldn't.

They wouldn't.

The women didn't play each other for some reason.

Oh my god.

I would have loved every second of that.

But I hate I really like I Our family hates Kansas so much that our aunt used to live up there for work and we would never we wouldn't pay for gas.

I would always wait to get on the Missouri side to like buy food, gas, all of it.

Like we try to spend at least a minute of money on that Kansas side.

I remember when I was.

A kid that the like drunk college kids had shirts that said Kansas sucks on the front and then the back said and swallows.

And I remember asking my parents, I go, what does that mean?

And my parents were like, you'll figure it out one day, and I was like, oh, okay, But I visually remember those shirts that said that, and like not understanding the joke and begging my parents to tell me what those shirts meant, and they would.

We still have figg them.

We still have all those t shirts from when we were little and like Kansas, Kansas City or Kansas.

Oh.

First of all, I wanted throwose out there for people who are hearing me shit on Kansas and like, but you're a cheese fan, Chiefs are in Missouri.

God, if you don't know that and you're listening to this, just exit, Kansas City is in Missouri.

We don't need your view if you don't know that.

So, but I remember like they used to have like a really really kind of like bigger coach.

I don't know if you remember, Like we.

Would have men like Mangino was his name, yep, yep.

And like the amount of shirts that were like frying him and everything.

Oh my god, and is like, oh, there's just some really good shirts made from the border war.

But yeah, but let me also let me also for people who are listening not from Missouri.

Missouri borders Kansas to Kansas's east to Kansas to Missouri's west, so it's a it's.

A very easy drive.

There's a big city right in between the two towns, Kansas City, Missouri, so there's a lot of like overlap.

Kansas City is also a big city.

There' high schools, the Kansast High School on the Missouri side, Like we know a bunch of people from Kansas.

The rivalry is like, yeah, it's so historic and you have to choose a side because even if you didn't go to Missoo or Ku, like, you have family that went to either, you have friends that went to both, like either and it is.

A huge deal.

And it's just this is why sports are good.

It's schools that hate each other and it's gonna beautiful.

It's in Columbia are Yeah, our little cousin is now on the Miszoo football team, but his older brother goes to kau and so I'm like, like were you choosing?

Are you going to go with family or are you gonna go with your school?

It's gonna be interesting.

Mm hmm.

I'm busying my fort But all right, do you have another question?

Or I don't know?

That might be?

Oh yeah, we have one more?

All right, here we go.

I also forgot to mention Montana State played Oregon on Saturday.

We lost, but it's okay?

Or rush this weekend?

Guys talk in all right, here we go.

Last question today?

Lock it Sophie and West West and Sophie.

Wonderful people?

Do you ridge runners?

From Missouri?

I need some love advice.

I met a woman at a conference for work recently.

Pause, it's gonna be about dating.

Let's go.

This is gonna be so awesome.

We going to give dating advice?

Does he know who he saw.

From Missouri?

I need some love advice.

I met a woman at a conference for work recently that happened to be targeted at churches.

He works at one of those churches.

I do not.

We started going out and have been hooking up since my digger.

I think she takes me.

She lives out of state and is flying in the speaking for Labor Day.

How dumb is this?

Should we keep enjoying it and steward him?

Love you guys doing great podcast?

Take care.

Uh, first off, you probably couldn't have called two worse people, I guess for the advice.

Uh, we're both gonna tell you keep hooking up.

No, we is gonna say, definitely keep hooking up, but talk to other girls on the side.

Uh.

No, you said you're both having fun.

She's flying in and you guys like each other.

Uh, there's something.

Really hot about oh god, about people who work together.

And because it's a little taboo, it's kind of frowned upon.

Should you tell hr?

Should you not?

Should we keep it to.

Seek you from our coworkers and you guys met at a conference also hot, Keep doing it and see what happens, as long as you just don't start lying if someone if someone higher up says, hey, she's got a twinkle in her eye when she's.

Around you, we can all see it.

Just don't lie about it.

Keep it, keep it one hundred, and have some fun, especially since you guys have more conferences.

What if you guys have a conference in I don't know, maybe Tampa in a few months, you guys can go do a little boat day, drink some market.

There's no way but this much effort into his dates and he's already planning a fucking tamperatrip for you guys.

This is why you shouldn't ask us.

The trips are being planned for them.

That's kind of what I'm saying, Like, it's these conferences that's fun.

Wait, my mind goes like conferences when people meet up.

It always makes me nervous because I feel like there's always like are they dating someone back home?

Are they actually married?

Mmm?

That's good?

Like that, dude, you just went on a fucking five minute spiel not even thinking about.

That, Like no, no, no, But I mean that's a that's a question you have to ask yourself.

But if they're both behaving correctly, then that questions answer.

If they're both single, yeah, I think like like yeah, like see it's it's yeah, that's fun, like see dry it out, like you know, you could maybe be married one day.

But it.

I just comments make me nervous.

I feel like a lot of people cheat at conferences and I'm not for cheaters.

Like it is yeah, it's black and white for me.

But I think if you're not go have fun.

Why would you not like continue to if you guys enjoy each other and all that time stuff that you guys bring each other a good joy in your life and continue it?

Why not?

I know?

And Applebee's haste to see y'all coming.

If the conferences are in the Midwest, ooh ooh, or at Chili's.

Are at Chili's even.

Dude, Applebee's and chili sounds so good?

Did chili?

Damn?

I'm hungry.

A triple dipper.

Oh, that sounds so good.

Cheese right now, dude, and like a beer and like a frosty mug.

You know what I think right now?

A good a good margarita has been sounding so good to me, but I'll so like a beach and a boat also sounds good, but like, try to knock out all three margarita with a mozzarellistic from Chili's.

M I'm down, Oh my god?

Should we join them?

If they go to Tampa and then go on?

He didn't he didn't leave his name, but d m us and say that the say the next time you guys are getting dinner, which again probably a Chili's and like a Midwest town.

But if it is Tampa worst we'll come to.

Just let us know unless you're married.

Didn't work in state?

Wait, what is it like?

You have a threaple?

What is it for?

Oh?

Yes, it just be a double.

Yeah yeah, yeah, because there'll be four of us.

Oh my god.

Yeah, our longest recording ever.

Are you, Sophie?

Are you officially Are you officially off pain meds or are you easing off them as we No, I'm.

I'm officially off.

I debated one last time, maybe doing a laxative again.

You should really get me out.

I don't think so, but I just want to end this podcast that I enjoy a lot of things in life, and I love a lot of things.

I'm not really a hater, like I don't take a lot of things too seriously, but I absolutely fucking hate Kansas.

So zoom see U
