Welcome to episode 91. As Bryant and Me inches towards their 100th episode, the show hit a snag with Bryant Caves contracting COVID-19 whilst in Florida (go figure). Gianna Belcastro, who hosts the Women's Sports Matter Podcast and is definitely not permanently taking over for Bryant, filled in and fun was had by all!

We discussed:

- Equal pay for the USWNT

- NWSL and the San Diego Wave exceeding expectations, the eventual downfall of Orlando and more!

- The BAM Summer Meet Up which may or may not be at the WNBA All Star Game or the Louisville Women's Cup *shrug*

- We discuss how Rhyne Howard is the next superstar and everyone else in the league stinks

- Plus alllllllll those #AskBAM or I should say #AskGAM questions!

Thanks for listening. We luv u!

With Bryant and Me seemingly off from the podcasting world forever, Gianna Belcastro stepped up.

Gianna hosts the Women's Sports Matter podcast, and was a former co-host of an episode of BAM. 

Gianna and a mystery co-host walk through the start of the NWSL regular season, the UWCL and the mystery co-host name drops people all episode. 

It might be the best episode of Bryant and Me ever, because neither Bryant nor Me are on it.

After a month away, Bryant and Me has returned. We discuss:

- Why we were gone

- Chicago soccer athletes win 

- Summer of Saint Georges is LIVE

- Crew finally win again

- And all of your #AskBAM questions

The format is a little different than usual, with us doing #AskBAM questions as the guide for our conversations. If you like this format better let us know.

Also, make sure you check out FRRacingOnline on Twitch on Wednesday at 10:15 ET for the BRYANT AND ME 100! We're sponsoring an eRacing event!

ALSO, Thursday, we have a special episode hosted by Gianna Belcastro and a mystery guest. It's a gift to you for taking so many weeks off from listening to our show.

Episode 89, what an episode indeed.

We discuss:

- Liverpool FC's move to the Women's Super League!!

- Crew lose on the field, but a ton of cool stuff off it

- NWSL Challenge Cup is a no good, very bad, thing... except for the league

No Bryant this week but we welcome back Robbie Rogers for his millionth appearance on the show. 

Robbie talks about his experience at the SEC Basketball Tournament:

- Drinking and punching people

It's a whole thing but it's really fun. Take a listen!

On this this installment of NWSL preview episodes, we're welcomed by Ruby and Gary from the Soccer Over Gotham podcast. This duo of former players love Gotham FC and talked with us about:

- Is Carli Lloyd gone a good thing?

- Kristie Mewis' impact

And a ton more!

We also talk about the first Crew match of the season, LFC losing in the FA Cup, followed by LFC Men winning the Carabou Cup and the Spurs Men winning a match!

Thanks for listening!

The NWSL Preview Series of pods rolls on down to Kansas City, where the BBQ flows like wine. We spoke with Justin Horneker from the Soccer Talk Lads Podcast and Equalizer Soccer about all things KC:

- Which player will have the biggest impact

- How do offseason moves set this team up for success in the short term, but maybe hurt in the long term?

- How KC owners may be the lone example of a team without off-field drama in 2021, and setting a precedent for how a team should be treated

- And a ton more in our #AskBAM segment about the most random things you can think of.

The #AskBAM segment is jokingly brought to you by the kids that tested Kix and the mom's that approved it. NOT Snap, Crackle or Pop

Next week we welcome Ruby and Gary from the Soccer over Gotham Podcast!
