What's happening? Welcome back to Good Follow.

I am Juju Gotti and I'm Trista Crick.

There we go, we keeping it old school, man. And we are Good Follow together. You got to know, man.

Presented by DraftKings.

Presented by DK. The crown is yours. Absolutely. Every time you say DraftKings, you gotta remember the crown is in your possession. You have it.

Like, you just maybe don't know you have it, but you have it.

You know who else got it? Carla Lay— excuse me, pardon me— Baby Bird. She has it right now, and she has been going crazy for your boys, the Portland Fire.

What a song.

How we feeling?

We're feeling good. We're feeling like it was the right pick to get her in the expansion draft. Yeah, I watched the Sue Bird documentary called Clutch, and it was something clutch, there was something else. And anyway, so I was like watching Carla Late after that doc, and I'm like, Carla Late kind of reminds me of Sue Bird. She's got that little slick back with the, with the pony curl in the back. She kind of wants to get to her spot. She can get downhill a little bit. She can shoot the tray ball. She likes to, you know, one dribble, two dribble, pull up from deep. And I said, I don't know, kind of giving Sue Bird vibes. And then they go to New York, Sue Bird's on the broadcast, and I get text messages from you, I get text messages from the crew.

Yep.

And Sue Bird said, I kind of fuck with the nickname.

Co-CZ.

It looks like the internet is saying that Barker's teammate, Kara Lake— Carla Lake, excuse me— looks like one of our teammates, Sue Bird.

How do you feel?

Girls for the girls, girls for the girls. The shot, a little bit, I can see it.

And then they interviewed actually Carla Lake. Yeah, hit a step-back tray on Stewie for the win. Very Sue Bird-like.

Come on now.

They interview Carla and then they get her off and they're like, damn, we were supposed to ask her about Baby Bird.

Yeah.

Then she— then Carla takes the shaweezy, gets back into her normal cleasies. And Sue meets up with her and they say on the thing, mama bird, baby bird. I just want to say you're welcome. Thank you very much.

We are welcome. And we are— that's gonna stick. I hope you know moving forward, CL is no longer— it's BB, baby bird, you dig? And she gonna keep torching because she with the fire. And speaking of the fire though, they been like That crowd to me, that pop every time— I don't give a damn if it's a free throw, the crowd is tossing babies from one end of the court to the other end of the court. You did. So their record right now is already good enough for me for the expansion. But at the same time, they took a loss to the Fever the other day, which is— ain't no harm in that. The Fever got it going right now. They dropped— I'm gonna say dropped— they waived 3 players.

What do they look like? What do those players look like?

Ah, who are they? Look like a Shug Sutton. They look like our home team, Haley Jones, and they also look like Sister K. Smiles. Uh, I'm not gonna say what they look like.

They look like buckets. They look like buckets to me.

You feel me?

The way it was getting crazy minutes— Kamaya didn't get a lot of minutes, but she's been injured. I thought Haley was working into the rotation. She had some good, good opportunities, transition buckets, playing good defense. And then they brought 2 players up to standard contracts.

Okay, let's see what they look like.

What?

Oh, they look like hoopers too.

They look like hoopers. The thing that I think is hilarious that I did not see until I'm looking at this right this second is the— you know how like when you see a movie with ghosts and like when they leave a room, there's like a puff of like smoke or like some dissipated ghost left. Like, they're so white that their, their backgrounds still have the motion of the dissipated ghost, right, in the background, bro. Like, none of the other gals had that, you know what I'm saying? You see what I'm saying?

It's like a Game of Thrones White Walker. Yes, yes. Salute to the Night King. We love you, big bro.

They do look like they're from North of the Wall, you know. They look like that girl that messed with, uh, Jon Snow, the redhead. They're both kind of like, like, yeah.

On fire, you feel me? So I understand why— salute. The internet has been, you know, I mean, on fire about it. So we gonna let the internet let us know how y'all feel about the Portland Fires' moves. Are they fire or are they cold? You did.

Uh-huh.

Moving on though, Tatum Fever. Who got the best of the fire? Caitlin Clark, my sister. She hit a 3 in my favorite sister's face and started talking a little trash, man. Did you see it? She got in my sister Tip Hayes' face, and Tip ain't no— she's not the one, nor the two.

Not— nor that I'm not the one, nor the two. Listen, she said it's between us now, right?

Right.

It's me and you. I think Caitlyn's probably one of the most annoying players to play against. Ah, no, I mean, if you're gonna play against—

play against—

yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, play against. Yeah, not to watch play, like, she's super fun to watch, but if you're going up against her and she's— it's between us now, you're like, hold up, let me roll up those sleeves.

Say less.

And get into my step-back bag. And they were going one, one deep three after one deep three.

Yeah, yes, you did.

Literally, Tip. And it was wet, that thing.

Look, it stay wet between both of them, bro. They jump shots are the wettest. Like, Tip been wet for what, 20 years? Yes, you did. From downtown.

From downtown. And then Tip, after the game, got caught on a hot mic, um, basically talking about, yo, Caitlin Clark be fouling What'd she say?

They're never going to start calling the fouls on her. If they did, she would never get to play the game.

I mean, she would, she would get in.

Yeah, she'd play.

She'd foul out, you know what I mean?

Right. Tip, she lying. Tip lying. She would play two quarters.

Yeah, like she wouldn't play the whole game.

All right, but look, I'm always on Tip's side. I don't give a damn. That's how I do my friendships. I don't care if somebody in the media said, you know what, Trista did this wrong, this wrong, this wrong. I'm going to still stand next to you and say, what you going to do about it?

Listen, we all make mistakes. We're all God's creatures. What I will say as someone who's very invested in the success of Tiffany Haze.

Yeah.

I just think maybe stay offline, you know what I mean? Like, maybe not bring it. She said, listen, I've done a lot of therapy. I would have been a lot different if I haven't done the therapy. And like, maybe some more therapy to get to the place where we don't feel we need to go online. But listen, we all— I clap back to haters as well. And sometimes I'm like, man, you know, or— and she would— people were like, yo, I'll take care of it, we'll ride at dawn for you, Tip.

Yeah.

She was like, yeah.

I was like, no, you can't be double talented. I like it.

No, quote tweet, yeah, that's real. And you're like, you feel me? Listen, that, that Caitlin Clark brigade is not the brigade you really want to be around, not because they're going to do nothing. Yeah, I got to do nothing. But they will be relentlessly annoying.

Yeah.

And it's like, why bring that on yourself?

So some people, they welcome it. I feel like my sister, she want to bring them on Jon Snow style. Speaking of Game of Thrones, with the sword in front of the army right now, that's Tilt Hayes. Moving on though, man. My boy Jose, man, talking about bringing the sword. Boy, my boy need to put his sword away. You feel me? No pause. The actual sword. Put it away.

The media is like the bat. It's like the Battle of the Bastards, and the media is the big crowd, and it's him as Jon Snow with the one sword just trying to fight them off, right? Because they said they want to know what's up, what's up with our number one overall pick, would they say?

And will it impact whether she'll be starting going forward?

Is that important to you or to everybody?

Hey, I'm just asking a question that people— it's been a conversation, so yep.

We're headed in that direction. Jose, my brother Jose, you need a little more media training, bro. And you know how you know what's bad, Jose? Because the sister in the third row couldn't compose herself. She was like, oh, I know he didn't just say that, bro. You ain't got to lay into every reporter with a challenging question. What you think about my dog?

He does. It's giving college coach that hasn't acclimated to the W yet. Like, these are questions you're gonna have to answer and not answer them in a spicy, sassy way, right? It— you don't need to have the verbal snap, snap, snap with it. Is that important to you?

All right, my boy having 3 snaps in Z formation for every question y'all got. We gotta go to break, and after this, we gonna make our DraftKings picks of the week. Welcome back to Good Follow.
