Kelly Stafford Gets Real on Marriage, NFL WAG Stereotypes, & Super Bowl Memories
This week on BFFR, Ali & Syd are joined by Kelly Stafford — podcaster, mom of four, and wife to Rams QB Matt Stafford.
Kelly gets real about life as an NFL wife: from the stereotypes (are they true??), to unhinged fan moments, to what gameday at SoFi Stadium is really like. She spills on the Los Angeles Rams’ 2022 Super Bowl win (and the Disney trip after), parenting hacks, and the best & worst fan bases in the league. The girls also dive into Kelly’s podcast “The Morning After”, talk about keeping marriage alive, and give their honest takes on gentle parenting.

In this special episode of BFFR, Syd & Ali are answering your most unhinged questions — and nothing’s off limits. We kick things off with Syd (aka Picasso Leroux) and her new hobby, plus the WNBA’s green dildo bandit saga that’s been causing chaos courtside.
From there, we dive into your questions — and y’all really didn’t hold back. First up, the one everyone’s dying to know: Syd’s love life. Then it’s the weirdest DMs, micropeens, pregame rituals, bra-washing habits, and the best underwear for soccer. Plus — Syd’s hilarious scooter story and the time Ali got kicked off the Angel City field (awk). And yes… there’s more.

Olivia Maher Talks Girl Dinner, Being Ilona’s Sistager, Dating, & Is Bush Back?!
This week on BFFR, Ali & Syd are joined by the creator of Girl Dinner herself — Olivia Maher! She spills on life as US women’s rugby star Ilona Maher’s full-time “sistager,” including what it was like traveling with her family to the 2024 Paris Olympics. She shares the origin story behind Girl Dinner, and the girls laugh about “Boy Dinner” equivalents.
They also get into dating in LA — the red flags, the green flags, and why gym selfies need to be retired ASAP. And the question everyone’s wondering… is bush back? Olivia explains “recession bush” as discussed on House of Maher, while Ali & Syd share some hair removal horror stories. The episode wraps with the girls answering listener voicemails.

Megan Rapinoe & Sue Bird on the New Era of Women’s Sports, USWNT Stories, & rooming with Syd
This week on BFFR, we’re joined by a certified power couple — seven Olympic medals between them, countless championships, and the hosts of A Touch More — Megan Rapinoe and Sue Bird!
Meg & Sue recap WNBA All-Star Weekend, their iconic cameo on the StudBudz livestream, and how the weekend has officially leveled up. They get real about the rise of women’s sports — Megan said it best: “I told you so.” They also debate whether the NWSL needs its own All-Star Weekend, and Syd & Meg swap wild stories from their USWNT days — including what it was really like rooming together (spoiler: it involves a face scrubber). Then we flip the script with Start, Bench, Cut — featuring Mia Hamm, Marta, Abby Wambach, Sue’s style, and yep… Megan’s hair.
After that, Ali & Syd break down the Coldplay concert affair scandal that broke the internet and play your voicemails about chaotic sports parents stories. Some of y’all need Jesus. Or a sideline ban.

Sam Mewis Gets Real on Retirement, Catching Syd’s Bouquet & Why Rookies Have It Easy
This week on BFFR, we’re joined by World Cup champion and certified Tower of Power, Sam Mewis! Sam and Syd go way back—like UCLA teammate era back—and we kick things off with first impressions and a 2013 throwback. Now a full-time Vermont girlie, Sam pitches Ali & Syd on the Green Mountain State (lowkey convincing), talks coaching for Vermont Green FC, and gives us the real on being Editor-in-Chief of The Women’s Game (@womensgameMIB). She also opens up about retirement, how hard it really was, and why today’s rookies have it easy. Oh—and she caught the bouquet at Syd’s wedding, so we obviously had to unpack that moment.
Then it’s time for Happy Hour! Ali ran into a familiar face from Angel City on her honeymoon, and Syd shares a BFFR moment involving Chicken going missing. Spoiler: she’s fine.
