Sydney Leroux and Ali Riley from BFFR on Controlling the Narrative
A Touch More kicks off Pride Month with Megan’s very scientific theory that you can’t win championships without gay players.
We get into some WNBA news, with Kate Martin’s whopping 14 points in six minutes (check out Sue’s interview with Kate on Bird’s Eye View on Friday) and we try to figure out how the Fever will handle its slew of point guard injuries.
Then we chat with Angel City FC teammates Ali Riley and Syd Leroux about their podcast BFFR, what it means to control their own narratives, and what they’re looking forward to this season in LA.
Stick around for the responses to last week’s “Are you a Megan or Are you a Sue?”-- when does celebrating become taunting?

Stop Blaming the Refs + Understanding Caitlin Clark’s Injury
We kick off this week’s episode with news from the WNBA, including an officiating upset during the Liberty v Fever game, Nneka Ogwumike leading the Storm to a big win over the Aces, and Caitlin Clark’s quad injury… Dr. Rapinoe diagnoses how long she might be out.
In soccer news, Gotham FC won the CONCACAF (that’s the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football) and Arsenal won the Champions League. Megan helps Sue make sense of all the leagues in soccer. It’s a lot!
And if there’s any doubt that everyone watches women’s sports, we take a look at the latest, eyepopping valuation of the New York Liberty.
We wrap it up with a new Are You a Megan or Are You a Sue? This one has to do with how you celebrate a win.
Check out Sue’s deep-dive interview with the Aces’ Jewell Loyd on Bird’s Eye View.

The Best & Worst of the New WNBA Season With Breanna Stewart
This week we are live from New York for the Liberty’s home opener, with extra special guest Breanna Stewart!
We have lots of thoughts on the opening weekend of the WNBA: who impressed us with their game and with their fits. And we’re not happy with the media’s coverage of Caitlin Clark’s hard foul on Angel Reese. We tell you why.
With Stewie, she reveals the best advice Sue ever gave her, and what she thinks about the Liberty’s newest additions, Marine Johannès and Natasha Cloud. She also tells us how she really feels about Aaliyah Edwards beating her in Unrivaled. Of course, we couldn’t let her go without asking her about that 2024 foul call.
Stick around for a little check-in after the live event. We share some punishing responses to last week’s Bicker of the Week about Megan’s criminal behavior with the ice cream.

More Dunks Are Coming to the WNBA
This week, Sue explains her new job as the Managing Director of USA Basketball, and we get some early 2028 Olympic predictions.
Then we check in with the NWSL and the WNBA, including reports of a Connecticut Sun sale and a tiny history of getting dunked on in the W in light of Dominique Malonga’s arrival in Seattle. We’re sending Angel City’s Savy King our best after her in-game collapse, and we weigh in on whether the game should have continued.
We are also excited to talk about all the beauty brands entering women’s sports, especially Rihanna’s Fenty partnering with the NY Liberty. Our only question: what took beauty brands so long?
Before we wrap, we have a fresh new Bicker we want to get your thoughts on. It involves ice cream – again.
Also, Sue’s new podcast, Bird’s Eye View is launching this week! Subscribe, watch and listen on YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.
