At Jacki’s basketball game, a fan once told her they named their lizard after her—and that perfectly sums up the fun, chaotic world of sports fandom we get into this episode. 

We break down Project B, the new women’s basketball league launching in 2026 with global games and contracts starting at $2 million, and why it could completely shift the landscape of women’s sports. 

Then we dive into the best parts of sports fan culture—from NWSL moments to college games with our families—and how international influences are shaping the way Americans show up for their teams. 

We close with future-focused talk: potential WNBA expansion, Olympic buzz, and the financial gap in women’s sports, spotlighting stars like Serena Williams and Simone Biles. Plus, some weird superstitions, a little life advice, and a birthday shoutout to Jacki.
