Hey hey, we're back! That's right, after dropping some dope interviews on y'all the OG squad of Courtney & André return to discuss all things international break and looking ahead to the World Cup!

We get into the SheBelieves Cup, where we believe in Mal Swanson, Lynn Williams, Naomi Girma and Japan (also maybe Brazil). We then take a trip around the world where we shoutout the World Cup playoff winners, Haiti, Panama and Portugal. We also look at the winners and losers of Lauren James' recent tear, Australia surprising us, and put Denmark on extremely early upset alert.

Then we shift gears to discuss all the federations around the world who are failing their national teams. We stress the importance of reporters and headline writers getting the stories right, and support all players in their various fights against their federation. Since all that has us heated, we close with our hypes!

Courtney & André were honored to interview goalkeeper extraordinaire and friend to all ocean life, Phallon Tullis-Joyce!

After asking our contractually obligated soccer questions, we dive into all things marine life! We talk about Phallon's smash hit series 'The Puget Zone: Zombie Apoctapus' and get fresh news about a possible sequel 👀. Then we chat about her becoming a certified diver, her favorite dives so far, cephalopods, mantis shrimp, flamboyant cuttlefish, and why octopus punch fish for no reason.

We also speak with Phallon about things people can do to support her passions, including supporting Foss Waterway Seaport and participating in beach cleanups. Please listen, subscribe, rate and review – we appreciate y'all!

WE BACK! We're just over a week away from the 2023 SheBelieves Cup so Courtney & André brought in reinforcements to get us through. We welcomed Skye & Sylvs of Shea Butter FC for another crossover!

In this Part 2, after hyping up Courtney, we dive right in by discussing Canada head coach Bev Priestman's approach to the tournament, and why we envy it. Then we get into what has us excited about Brazil's squad (hint: EVERYDAMNTHING). Then we take several deep breaths and get into, well, whatever USWNT head coach Vlatko Andonovski is doing with the USWNT.

We discuss the lack of a backup defensive midfielder, his odd midfield experiments, players who weren't called up who should be, an over-reliance on certain players, and a bunch of other stuff. Then we go around the Zoom room and ask what match will be the toughest, the most fun, and give our predictions for who will win the tournament. Then we get into a wide ranging Heated & Hyped segment with more than a few #messages for anybody and everybody.

Also be sure to check out Part 1 on the Shea Butter FC feed for our thoughts on the NWSL offseason, Black History Month celebrations/non-celebrations, the NWSL schedule being mad late, and more.

Y'all knew we weren't gonna let a whole NWSL Draft go by without talking about it!

Courtney & André's react to a wild draft full of the special kind of NWSL chaos we've come to love. Although, we talk about things getting maybe a little too chaotic with Kansas City shocking Lynn with a trade. We also spotlight all the melanin coming into the league, discuss overall draft winners and losers, shoutout Orlando, plus we also get into the future of the draft.

Hello good people, we back and with a special guest! Courtney and André bring back their interviews in a big way by sitting down with Stanford legend and soon-to-be A-League Golden Boot winner, Madison Haley!

We talk to Haley about everything from her entryway into soccer, the absurdly LOADED Stanford squads she was on, her thoughts on the draft process and decision to go to Sydney FC, blue things on the beach that you don't want to step on, plus her Stanford teammates 5-a-side and Best XI that'd give the USWNT problems (plural)!

Courtney & André are back with their first episode of 2023 (fake ass year)! We have a lot to catch up on, and look forward to, so naturally we start with a dad joke.

After that, we get into the USWNT roster announcement, why we're confused but not really, plus we're still waiting for that #FOTP Mia Fishel call up. Then we switch gears to discuss all things NWSL. We get into the big trade that gave Angel City the #1 overall pick in the upcoming draft, plus we hear how hype Courtney is to have Yazmeen Ryan at Gotham. We also talk about Debinha to Kansas City and why it's a scary proposition for the rest of the league, but a big win for the NWSL in the global market. We also discuss the draft, including why we're so hyped to see Alyssa Thompson and Michelle Cooper in the league.

We then shift to the NWSL's Corrective Action, in which a number of coaches were banned permanently or with conditions, and monetary sanctions were doled out across clubs and even the league itself. We discuss what it all means, and what's next.

Then, in Heated & Hyped, Courtney unveils her Benoit Blanc impersonation.

Courtney & André were blessed to be able to host a roundtable with voices across women's soccer. Tamerra Griffin (ANDSCAPE), Eboni Christmas, and Skye & Sylvs (Shea Butter FC) joined us for an expansive discussion centered on the release of the latest NWSL/NWSLPA Investigative Report.

We discuss racism detailed in the report and what it means that it was ignored in the presser, concern over Black journalists not having an opportunity to ask questions, the problem with white feminism, being Black in the woso media space, micro- and macroaggressions, doing the work, and a whole lot more.

Please make time to listen to the entirety of this discussion – we appreciate y'all.
