Unrivaled Takes Off, Women’s College Hoops Cash In & Chef Sue Serves Up a Recipe
Megan and Sue share their theory about what Taylor Swift was whispering to Caitlin Clark, review Unrivaled's first matchups of the season, and discuss what the NCAA’s decision to pay women’s March Madness teams equally means for women’s sports as a whole.
On the Intersection, Sue and Megan look at what's actually behind a recent anti-trans bill, what it means for transgender girls in sports, and how you can educate yourself on the issue. And they return to last week's Bicker of the Week over Sue's gourmet meal and subsequent kitchen chaos: Megan's not backing down but she does have a new coping strategy. To wrap things up, Chef Sue shares her highly requested chocolate ice cream recipe.

guys is it me or does Megan look pregnant? like at 46:41 ? or am I tweakin 🙃
I love SUE BIRD ...period ...same birthday ..same city ❤...
I’m a proud Clarkie!!!
“Blue 42… it’s a popular one” 😂😂😂😂
Sue, clean as you go!
Kelsey Plum and Sue Bird: my two fav hoopers. Thanks for the shout out to KP. I too, love the fact that she chose to go to UW to help build a program when she could have easily gone to an established program. I think that shows grit which she obviously has in spades! 🏀🏀🏀
4:44 did somebody say Four Loko?!? 🍻🥳
No one watches women sports!
don’t advertise ts
“This one’s called ‘Horns’!” 😂
Once again men paying for women’s stuff
Hey Megan you must be worried about your investment bcuz unrivaled is going downhill! I knew it was going to happen bcuz they didn't think about the fans. Everything was geared towards the players needs but not the fans. Plus the play has been awful & you have a player like Sabrina who basically said this league is not important to her so she's not going to focus that much on it. This league is getting cooked online
until Caitlin Clark, no one watched women’s basketball! Why would they make money when no one spends money to see them?
I heard a rumor that Taylor swift will buy a entertainment complex g get the next expansion women's profitable basketball business without her boyfriend money just her president, and GM
That's not ice cream. By definition, it's not. It's cold potato slim.🤮🤢
It didn't happen Megan because birdy and Candace are soft targets
You ready birdy here comes my fast stuff
Unrivaled “takes off…then instantly nose dives…” haha 300k all the way down a 90k the next games on TNT…aka 200k watched the first games either to see if it was good or to just see how bad it really was and they had enough of it after that. And I don’t wanna hear “their was a men’s college football game on haha those fans don’t cross over between men’s football and woman’s 3v3 basketball ffs 😂
How about just playing good basketball Sue and the other person that has nothing to add
"this one's called horns hahaha" absolutely kills me everytime! watched 3x dying! SO funny
Ice cream truck order: orange sherbet pushup!
I feel like the Unrivaled court could use a little more lighting. Like...let's bump it up 200 more lumens 😅 I'm terribly disappointed the Laces chose sea foam for their jersey. That's hospital scrubs colors. Looks nice on their logo but gross as sports wear. Lastly i understand it's hypocritical coming from a place that's always promoting equality but i did not like hearing a male voice commentating the game. Does Lisa Leslie any ex-basketball friends that can do commentary?? How about TNT just let Diana Taurasi, Sue and Lisa Leslie (and maybe Kim Mulkey? 😂) narrate the game.
please start adding chapters
Megan has really great ideas that Unrivaled should consider. I would have loved to have seen Sue play in Unrivaled she would have lit them up. The commercial free 4th quarter is so loved I wish the W and the NBA could do that.
Love the show, and your takes, but, Megan, pleez! Unrivaled action is so fast, the last thing I need is pop-ups and on-screen gimmicks to distract me. If this game can’t keep your attention, play some Sneaky Sasquatch on your phone while you watch.
come on Sue - put together a "retired" player team. Shorter court and lets face it, way more game smarts.
Also, the attendance numbers are amazing, but wasn't that Montreal/Minnesota PWHL game in Montreal? I can't remember, but I thought it was. But I could absolutely be wrong.
Just curious why u think they don't publish LGBTQ stats more broadly, esp during campaigns. It would prove how their wasting tax payer dollars. 2. I know you have talked other sports in the past but winter sports has a lot of US Women winning , as well as, the AUD open. Why not continue to highlight them.
I listen to this podcast while driving, sometimes with my kids in tow. This week they caught the end of the piece about protecting female athletes. Words of wisdom from my 9yo son, "why would anyone need to be protected from transgender athletes?" The future is bright!
Sorry, the games are boring, I fall asleep. Can’t make layups. Unrivaled needed to hire experienced 3v3 coaches. The players don’t know when to run fast and slow down. Get rid of Carrington and Thomas, they are still dirty players. I bet this had a lot of why Caitlin didn’t play, she had enough in the W and needed a break.
I was surprised that there was so little effort to get the offensive rebounds.
Naomi Girma signs historic women's soccer contract
Pinoe - beauty and the beast - don't be too vain🤣🤣
Maybe Megan needs to jump in and participate.
We called them "Bomb Pops" (Sue called them "Firecrackers") and they were my faves.
I have been impatiently waiting all week to hear these thoughts on Unrivaled! ❤
Would love an unrivaled app so it’s easy to check in game stats and scores.
I love how Sue was just out here minding her own business-being an A+ partner, whipping up delicious new meals, and cleaning up after herself-only to get hit with advice to how she can be better, all because Megan apparently has an aversion to measuring cups. What a plot twist. 😂
So what else is going on Megan? 😅
So good. l refuse to miss a week’s episode! All The Best!!!!
"Were you even a child " 🤣🤣🤣bruh 😂
I just love this show
Hoot Owls all the way. Im questioning your insight given how well they are playing and the minimal shout out
I really don't like your argument of their isn't of trans women in sports for it to matter. Even 10 is enough to matter. You either think it's fair or you don't.
Their perspectives are clear throughout all of their episodes and public statements. 1) Fairness in sports doesn't exist. 2) There are serious issues that have been systemically ignored by the folks who are anti-trans, including over 500 allegations of sexual abuse from girls in the youth US soccer circuit against staff and front office, poor funding, stigmatization, and fewer resources. 3) It's a blatant attack on cisgender women of color and/or masc-presenting women, made obvious by the attacks on Imani Khalif, Barbara Banda, and the woman on the left of your screen. 4) They're not contesting that transwomen have advantages over cisgender women, they're contesting that it matters in the first place. No 2 athletes are equal. They aren't equal in hormone levels, opportunities, training, work ethic, physical health, mental health, etc. And 5) The majority of Republicans elected officials (and their constituents by voting for them) voted against the Violence Against Women Act, which would provide resources for adults and children alike of sex-based violence, domestic violence, and abuse at the hands of cisgender men in their homes and family, making their efforts for women's equality absolutely utterly worthless. Nobody is concerned with "fair," because fairness in sports doesn't exist.
Get ahold of yourself 😂
@@TF-vb9us stop stalking me
@@twizms2stop embarrassing yourself
Reroute was interesting thank you
😂😂😂 your bickers of the week kill me!! Sue your shirt is dopeee!! And what you said about "protecting women in sports" COULD NOT be truer! Leave the trans kids the fuck alone! 💙💙
Imagine a Sue and DT backcourt and any big in Unrivaled. Ahhhh I can’t live in the past but man o man that woulda been a dream. I mean this is a dream league too so win win.
Bye and thank you
Not her gifts
I want sue birdy soul Megan
