LIVE FROM NEW YORK, IT’S THE MEWIS SISTERS!

SPEAKER_1 (0:00)

The one question I get most after all that football memory making we experienced across America this summer is, how do I keep the magic going? I'd start by saying, articulate what you love the most, and then build on it. First step, find the team that will most probably break your heart, and then add all the supporting necessities to build your weekend tradition, the key to so many of mine. It's Walmart, the place that has it all, the snacks, the coffee, the pies. You can also get the TV at Walmart, the hoodie to wear on your couch. Get the couch if you need it, and wait, it gets better. Because their express delivery can get it right to your door, so you're all set for kickoff. Whatever your match day needs are, you can find them at walmart.com/soccer.

Delivery timing varies by order size, traffic, weather and demand, subject to availability, fees and terms apply.

You're listening to the MIB Media Network, and this is The Women's Game.

Oh, my gosh. Hi, everyone. New York City. Hello, everybody, and welcome to our show. This is The Women's Game, live with Kristie and Sam Mewis.

Kristie Mewis (1:26)

And for the first time in person, welcome to the Mew-iverse.

Sam Mewis (1:33)

New York City has everything, the fans, the culture, the public transit, the hot dogs, the 2026 end of yourself shields.

There is no where like New York City. I'm so grateful that you're all here with us tonight. And I'm also really grateful. I'm sure you all got out and voted today. Very important. But this show is going to give us all a little respite right now. And I couldn't think of a better audience for your very first live show, Kristie. So I'm going to give you a quick tour. This is the stage. That's the audience. End of tour. Any questions?

Kristie Mewis (2:14)

I did have a question, but I already spotted the bar, so my question no longer matters.

Sam Mewis (2:17)

You're all set. I do want to quickly shout out New Balance, our incredible friends presenting this show tonight. New Balance is doing... Thank you. Give it up for New Balance.

New Balance is doing so much within the sport of soccer from working with the greatest athletes like the Kansas City Currents, Michelle Cooper, Houston Dashes, Kate Fossey and Chicago Stars, Jordan Heidema. They're also engineering their cleats with innovative materials for superior comfort and support, whether it's the Furons, Tequelas or 442s. Make sure to grab a pair for this season. I do love being able to work with New Balance and they help us put on so many of these shows. Tonight's show is very special, so I want to make sure we're all properly acquainted. We are sisters and former professional soccer players who won championships here in the NWSL.

We also both played abroad in the English Women's Super League.

Kristie Mewis (3:16)

You guys, getting that corner off was probably my biggest accomplishment in the WSL.

Sam Mewis (3:22)

We even played for the US Women's National Team together. Now, thank you.

Kristie Mewis (3:28)

We're so hungover in that.

Sam Mewis (3:29)

I know.

Mandy Freeman (3:31)

I couldn't even see in that picture.

Sam Mewis (3:33)

It's funny because our parents have that picture framed in their house and every time I see it, I'm like, you guys would not be proud of us. Okay. So now, after all of this soccer, we're taking all the determination, grit, and passion that we learned as elite athletes, and we're using it to tackle our biggest challenge yet, Kristie's Wi-Fi. That's right. We now have our own podcast, Mewis Squared, where we take the world into our lives as sisters and athletes, plus Kristie's Adventures as a new mom to her son, Jagger, and mine as a mother to my dogs, Finn and Chester.

Kristie, you are a little newer to podcasting than I am. What skills as a professional soccer player have come in handy when it comes to having a podcast?

Kristie Mewis (4:19)

Literally nothing.

It's a completely different job. I had zero laptop skills. The only thing I do know how to do is FaceTime my sister for an hour. It's the easiest job I've ever had.

Sam Mewis (4:29)

Yeah, we are good at that. Do you think that us being sisters makes hosting a show together harder or easier?

Kristie Mewis (4:38)

Well, it's obviously way easier because I don't have to be polite to you and I can tell you to shut up whenever I want.

Sam Mewis (4:44)

Definitely easier for Kristie.

I do feel like for better or for worse, people are getting such an inside look into our dynamic as sisters. Me trying to get you to work in a Google doc or check your e-mail is pretty much the same as me trying to beat you in an Easter egg hunt.
