The Final Four with Chelsea Gray & Napheesa Collier
The Final Four is officially official. Why has the tournament been so low-scoring so far? And does that mean the team with a Certified Bucket Getter (CBG) is primed to win it all? We chat through this and all the possibilities that could go down in the final stretch.
And then onto our Unrivaled Championship Spectacular. We speak to series Champ and Finals MVP Chelsea Gray and the inaugural MVP and 1-on-1 champ Napheesa Collier.
Chelsea talks about playing with Angel Reese, the beef that WILL spillover to the W season, and shares some of the ways she’d like to see Unrivaled evolve next year.
Then, Napheesa reflects on what it means to start a successful new league, and if she’s going to continue her scorched earth streak into next year.

Our Message to Juju Watkins & Sweet 16 Predictions
We’re halfway through March Madness -- time to take a close look at the teams and players in the Sweet 16. And we discuss a path forward for USC after Juju Watkins's season-ending ACL injury -- sending our heartfelt best wishes to Juju! We’re going to miss her in the tourney, but know she’ll be back.
Checking in on our bracket, we share some tough lessons we’ve learned the hard way and the matchups we’re looking forward to. Plus, we drop a little behind-the-scenes look of Megan “locked-in” at game time.
And we’re introducing a new segment: Make it Make Sense, where we’ll call out things that just don’t add up. Like: when fans chant “overrated" at an opposing team, are they committing a self-own? This leads Megan and Sue to recollect their all-time best heckle moments.
And the verdict is in on last week’s Bicker of the Week aka the sunscreen fiasco, but Megan and Sue settle things their own way.
Tune in for a special announcement on an upcoming live show with a very special guest! Get your tix here.

Nikki Hiltz & Gabby Thomas on Track, Paychecks & Representation: LIVE from SXSW
This week, we’re coming to you straight from SXSW in Austin, where we sat down with two of the fastest people on the planet—Olympic track stars Nikki Hiltz and Gabby Thomas.
But first, we’ll check in on where women’s sports stand today and what needs to happen to keep the momentum going for the next 100 years. We’re talking investment, Gen Alpha’s sports habits, and why women’s sports constantly have to break records just to prove their worth.
Then, Nikki and Gabby get real about life as pro track athletes—how they actually make money, the highs and lows of competing in an individual sport, and, of course, who’s faster? They also weigh in on what needs to change to make women’s sports safer and better for everyone, plus why trans athlete representation is more important than ever.
And to wrap it up, we put them through a few rounds of Bench/Start/Cut and settle this week’s Are You a Megan or Are You a Sue: do you fall asleep with the TV on or off?

Diana Taurasi Retires and Paige Bueckers Takes Over GQ
The WNBA is officially without its (true) GOAT—Diana Taurasi has retired, and we are simply not okay. Sue looks back on some of her favorite, funniest, and most peak Dee moments over the years.
Then, it’s time for the Sue Bird College Basketball Vibe Check of the Week, where chaos reigns. We’re breaking down the latest madness, plus Azzi Fudd’s big decision: go pro or run it back at UConn for a fifth year?
We also get some Extra Time with Megan ahead of the NWSL season kickoff—why she’s not sweating the USWNT’s loss to Japan and what she’s watching for this weekend.
In The Intersection, Megan breaks down why Paige Bueckers’ GQ spread is the blueprint and why the best athletes always push the boundaries of style. Then, we get into the NWSL’s new kits—the good, the bad, and the ones we already ordered.
And we wrap things up with a new Bicker of the Week: when Megan starts using Sue’s favorite movie lines against her… and Sue is not amused.
We're also kicking off a March Madness bracket—join in, see who takes the crown, and play against us at the link here.
