Mewis Squared presented by Verizon: Sweating The MVP Race

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 matchday 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. Kristie's sock curls being still in, I just feel like presented us as like not low maintenance. Oh, like Kristie's here, but like her sock curls are still in. Like, do you think she needs anything? Like, can she, we take pictures of her like this? When is she gonna take them out? Why does she have socks in her hair?

Kristie Mewis (1:15)

Hi, everybody, and welcome to Mewis Squared. I'm Kristie Mewis.

Sam Mewis (1:19)

And I'm Sam Mewis. I don't do that part, you do that part.

Kristie Mewis (1:26)

Well, if we're switching roles, then you have to do that part.

Sam Mewis (1:29)

I don't want to switch roles and you can't make me.

Kristie Mewis (1:32)

Okay, well, you literally just said you do your part. So what, now I have to do both parts?

Sam Mewis (1:36)

Yeah, put the podcast on your back.

Kristie Mewis (1:39)

I just felt my tone change there. And remember when Katie last night called me out on being mean?

Sam Mewis (1:45)

Yeah, wait, do you also remember when it was you, me and Sam Kerr and me and Sam Kerr both like snapped our necks at you because your tone changed and like suddenly you were like so mad at us both and we both had to scold you and be like, Kristie, like you did not need to escalate this like this.

Kristie Mewis (2:04)

But I want I want to just say I'm not mad. I was like speaking firmly because I like believed in what I said. I forget what it was. What were we even talking about? I was like, no, it's blah, blah, blah. And it was just like stern.

Sam Mewis (2:16)

Like it was it was just like so alarming.

Kristie Mewis (2:18)

I know. But then when Katie said it last night, because like I guess I like I guess I snapped at her.

Sam Mewis (2:24)

But yeah, anyways, if you're just joining us here, you guys, we were just together earlier this week. We did a live show together in New York City. We're talking about Katie Nolan being on the live show. We also had Yell Averbush West. We also had Mandy Freeman and Kelly O'Hara. We're going to recap the live show. We have a lot of behind the scenes stuff to tell you about. I am under the impression that we still need to finish our introduction and do everybody's favorite part of the whole podcast. So Kristie, I'm going to force you to do that now.

Kristie Mewis (2:51)

Welcome to the Mewiverse.

Sam Mewis (2:53)

Okay, all that for that.

We're so glad that you guys are here. Thank you for being here.

Okay, so I flew in to New Jersey and I stayed with Kristie and I had such valuable nephew time, but I will admit I was distracted. I was stressed about the live show. I feel like because usually I host the live shows by myself, I guess, and I know how to do that, and then I feel like having you be a part of it just threw me for a whole loop and I just didn't feel as prepared as I usually do. So I was having this regret where I wanted to just be free and loose and hang out with Jagger, and me and Jagger were doing this giddy up game where I would just hold him and bounce him on my hip and gallop across the floor and go giddy up, giddy up, up, up, giddy up, giddy up, giddy up, up, up. But there's no breathing room in that song, so I was just getting exhausted, getting out of breath. But the whole time, I was stressed about the script.
