Guys, I think I decided it's gonna be the Chicago Sky.
I know I kinda said that at the beginning of the show
and then I kinda wafered a little bit,
but what do you think, Roy?
Are you gonna pick a team?
Is anyone else joining me?
Stick with the Sky.
Yeah, stick with the Sky.
I think we're going with the Sky.
Go with your first instinct.
Be a Sky guy.
A Sky.
I mean, they had Candace Parker,
so I was with them a couple years ago.
Now Jeremy is doing a cheat code.
He got some fever hat.
Long time Indiana fever fan over here.
He's jumping on this Katelyn's team.
Big time fever guy.
I question you on that.
When did you get that hat?
What were the circumstances that you got that hat?
In 2019, I decided it's time to get into the WNBA.
I was, the summer was coming up.
I really wanted to watch some good WNBA basketball
and so I took a quiz.
I took a quiz on SB Nation that was,
hey, which team should you root for?
Oh, I wanna do that.
Yeah, click bait it on.
So it was a quiz back from 2019
and it was like a personality test,
and there were things about the type of teams
you like rooting for,
and ultimately it told me,
hey, you should root for the Indiana Fever.
So the first thing I did was I went online
and I bought an Indiana Fever 20 year anniversary hat,
and I started wearing it,
because they were founded in 1999,
it was their 20 year anniversary in 2019.
And I've been wearing that hat periodically
over the last five years,
following some games here and there.
And now I am all in on my Indiana fever.
So Lucy and I will be together in this venture.
This is exciting to me, a new sport.
I'm excited to get into it.
Yeah, it should be.
Look, it's gonna be a lot of fun to follow the WNBA because I think a lot of us
care about it in a way that, let's just be frank,
we haven't around this show for the last several years,
forever, and to have experts in Lucy and Jessica
who have been following the sport for years now,
have been following these players through their college careers, and like I was saying earlier in the show like
This is the first time that I'm watching a WNBA draft like alright
I know a bunch of these players and what happened throughout their college careers
So to now follow them off on their different teams like you mentioned. I mean Camila Cardoso and
having
Angel Reese on the same team in Chicago,
and that's, you know, Dwayne Wade
was really excited about them.
It's cool.
All right, so I just got sent this quiz, okay?
And I love these type of questions,
because it has nothing to do with basketball.
It's just random life questions.
Like, the first one is pick a protein.
Hot dog, hamburger, veggie dog, or chicken.
So all right, so I'm gonna go through this,
and I don't wanna, like, if this gives me a bad team, I have the ability to punt on this.
Sure.
I just did the quiz as well.
And I got the Dallas wings.
All right, well Roy's a Dallas wing fan.
All right.
Which one is that one, SB Nation?
Yeah, all right.
I went with Buzzfeed.
I did too.
I'm gonna go with chicken as my protein.
I'm taking two to make sure
that I get the same team on both.
Yeah, second opinion.
Now the second question is pick a side.
Coleslaw, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, or salad.
I'm gonna go with mac and cheese.
Pick another side.
Fruit, cornbread, beans, or corn.
Cornbread, big cornbread guy.
Pick a drink.
Water, beer, lemonade, slushie.
I'm gonna zag here.
I'm gonna go slushie.
Pick which SPF sunscreen to use. Obviously I'm going the highest, so I'm gonna zag here, I'm gonna go slushy. Pick which SPF sunscreen to use.
Obviously I'm going the highest, so I'm gonna go 100.
Pick a jam.
Return of the Mac, that's famously one of my favorite songs.
Summertime by Will Smith, Party in the USA,
Miley Cyrus, or Fly by Sugar Ray.
Man, all good songs, I'm gonna go Return of the Mac,
that's my jam.
Pick a game to play.
Water balloon fight, corn hole,
twister, or slip and slide.
Man, I'll go corn hole.
And all right, fine, all right, I just did it.
That's the quiz.
Let's see who my team is.
Find my WNBA team.
The Connecticut Sun.
The Connecticut Sun.
Mine too.
Connecticut.
You're Greg Cody's son.
I'm going with Chicago Sky.
So you did all of this for nothing.
You asked this question over and over all day.
Why would me picking a cheeseburger and a mac and cheese
have anything to do with this?
Exactly.
Well maybe you'll get the most transformative player
in the league's history if you just stick around
for another few years.
I don't understand why you can't just say
that you want a root for the Sky.
You know what?
I'm a Chicago Sky fan.
All right, there you go. Sky guy, I'm a Chicago. I'm a Chicago sky fan. All right. There you go. Well guy guy. I'm a sky guy
I was a sky guy on BuzzFeed and on SP nation. I was a Phoenix Mercury guy Wow. Yeah, this is exciting
Are you really are you in on this at all Billy? No, okay
