The Winter Olympics are over, and Sue and Megan have all the takes, from gushing over the US Women Olympians, like Hilary Knight, Laila Edwards, and Alysa Liu, to pitying the US Men’s Ice Hockey team for letting their victory get co-opted by a clown. We’re also talking about the USWNT’s roster heading into the SheBelieves Cup: who’s on the team, who’s not, and why it matters. And while we wait for more updates from the CBA negotiations, we’re celebrating the 2025 WNBA triggering a player rev share for the first time in history.
We also have a new “Are You a Megan or Are You a Sue” – it’s pretty specific but we think it says a lot about how you go through the world, so tune in and let us know what you think.
Finally, we had a couple of very special voicemails we’re sharing, including one fun question about how we fostered our queer community back in the day.
