And then I want to get to this again as well. I can't believe I saw an article today. About how Mac Jones needs to take Brock Purdy's job and that he should probably be traded, or Purdy should be traded. I'm like, what are we looking at? Lane Kiffin is like, hey, NIL has changed the course of college sports.

Who are you telling? I think we know that. Hey, we got Ron Blum. He's going to join us next hour to talk more baseball. courtesy of the Associated Press.

And then in a few minutes I'm I'm ready for this one. Ooh, this is going to be fun Just last break, we talked about Craig Counsel. Former manager for the Brewers, going back now, managing the rival Chicago Cubs. He's a turncoat. It's turncoat.

Fans in Milwaukee, they got beef with him. They got beef. I'm going to tell you about a beef that has been brewing all week and really came to a head, and Afisa Collier. you know, going after the commissioner of the WNBA Kathy Engelberg. Just about an hour ago.

Kathy Engelbert responded. Yeah, Kali has said she's the worst leader in the world. And I'm like, whoa. How is the Commissioner going to respond? We'll hear that in a second.

I'm here for the beef. I am. eight eight eight seven ten four I S N That's eight eight eight seven ten Four I S N. We got Ron calling from Green Bay, Wisconsin. I guess about some B for Bratworth.

Hey, Ron, you're on the JR Sport Reef show. What's up? JR, love the show, brother. Listen to you as much as possible. Appreciate the.

Chance, give me the talk. You got it. I was just was just taken aback. I mean, you The fact that I mean, I know the brewers, they they don't have the money that they pour into into their payroll like the two teams that'll be playing in the opposite games of us, but The Brewers did really well against those guys this year, and it seems like you're giving them no love at all, and that you don't think that they have a chance in hell to win. And I don't believe it.

I mean, you're just like they're going to crush them, or you said they're going to smash them. Yeah, I didn't say they didn't have a chance.

Well, can I be an ass, Ron? Can I be an ass? Yeah, dude, I love you, man. You can do whatever you want. Yeah, I'm just having fun.

I think they're going to beat him. I mean, can I exaggerate? It's the radio. How much fun is it if I say, hey, I think the. I think the Dodgers or the Phillies will go out and just beat the Bruce.

That's not fun. I got to say smash them. I got to say whoop-ass. It's fun. They're not going to smash them, man.

They just can't do that to the poor community. I mean, you got to have some love for the small team, don't you? I mean, what they've done is pretty darn good. And, yeah, I mean, I think this is going to be a very difficult series for them coming up. Unlike the last caller, I will be there.

I'll be parking in there Monday night. I can't make it tomorrow. I'll be there Monday night. And uh it's going to be exciting. But man, I mean they squeeze by that.

I don't know why they don't have uh they don't have a good chance against one of those other two teams. They've done very well against them. They do. Listen, they play baseball the way that I actually enjoy baseball. You know, I like the Yankees, all right?

The Yankees drive me crazy. I hate them. I like them and I hate them. I don't want to see idiots hitting home runs all the time, eight-foot-tall guys. I don't want to see that.

I like what they did last night. Oh my God, because the pitcher comes out, Schlittler comes out. and strikes out 12 guys like I like baseball. The Brewers play baseball. I don't like home run derby crap.

I hate it. It's the thing that we wanted Craig Counsel to do for years is play small ball and just do the things that he just didn't do. The things he did as a player, which was amazing and we love it. This was crazy. He couldn't do anything.

He couldn't do anything else as a player. He couldn't do anything else as a player. What else was he doing? Exactly. Exactly.

And so that's what you have with this kind of baseball team that the Brewers have is that's what the kind of ball that they have to do. You have to play great defense. You have to have timely hitting. You got to run the bases. You got to bunt.

The things that Craig Counsel did his whole life, but did not do when he was our coach was just mind-boggling. And now we get a chance to return the table to 'em. Yeah, Craig Council's one of those guys. You look at him as a player, and it's like, hey, they're spanky. And he just.

Automatically call him Sebanki because it's just like, what else is he doing? He ain't no sla. What? Listen, I gotta be honest. I'm surprised he had the career that he had.

He did a really nice job playing with inside of himself. Yeah, he's just well, everybody needs one of those hustle guys. He was a pain in the ass. That's all he was. Pain in the ass.

He's an ass. Banks would. I appreciate it, brother. Yeah, no doubt. Don't throw nothing at him, okay?

Don't throw nothing. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, dude, I was I flew down to uh watch the Packers play the Cowboys and I'll tell you what, what a tough thing that was to watch too. And uh, there was no throwing and and what not. That's just that's good Wisconsin people. We don't do that kind of stuff.

We just A little boisterous.

Okay, I hear that.

Well, thank you, Ron, for calling from Green Bay. Hey, let's see what happens. Call me back soon, okay? I'll be calling you back. I love men.

Take care. Thank you. Thank you, Ron, for calling from Green Bay. Even Ron he's he's beefing with me in a polite way. I love it.

And now let's get to a real beef.

Okay, this is going to be fun. Botch, you ready for this beef? I'm so excited for this. Oh, I am too. And never in my life have I ever heard One particular player, a star player who's looked upon as almost like a saint, a beloved player in the league.

Go after the commissioner.

Well, that's what took place in the WNBA. You thought beef between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese was something? Hey, sure. Two players hate each other. What else is new?

Great, fine. You gotta start a player. A leader. of the Players' Association going after the Commissioner publicly. Basically, telling her, You suck, you need to step down.

Okay, uh Nafisa Kalier of the WNBA. She plays for the Minnesota Lynx. Just eliminated from the postseason. and then in her exit interview, It wasn't so much about the Minnesota Lynx. It was about how bad Kathy Engelbert is.

as the commissioner in the WNBA. That she basically dismisses the players, doesn't have relationships with them. Nafisa Kahlier called her the worst leader in the world. Wow. And then she even told this story about Caitlin Clark.

about how You know, we should make more money, and we'll get into that conversation. But the players should make more money, Caitlin Clark should make more money. And Afisa Collier basically said, Kathy Engelbert. Was just like, she needs to be happy that she's even in the WNBA to have the opportunity to make this money. Listen to this.

I also asked how she planned to fix the fact that players like Caitlin, Angel and Paige, who are clearly driving massive revenue for the league, are making so little for their first four years. Her response was: Caitlin should be grateful she makes $16 million off the court because without the platform that the WBA gives her, she wouldn't make anything. And in that same conversation she told me, Players should be on their knees thanking their lucky stars for the meteorite steal that I got them. Oh, how true. This is getting good.

I love it. Kathy Engelbut's burt spoke because they do have the WNBA finals start tonight.

Okay, you had no idea?

Well, now you know. You got Phoenix, you got Las Vegas, and Asia Wilson. You're welcome. Kathy Engelbert responded Hey. But You want to make money, the players want to make money.

Kathy, what do you have to say? About that aspect. The players need to be thinking they're lucky stars about the media deal. You want the same thing as the players, right? No?

We continue to meet and have important conversations with the Players Association. I want to reiterate that we want much of the same things that the players want. we want to significantly and I mean significantly increase their salary and benefits while also supporting the long term growth and viability of the WMBA. We have made proposals to that end. We have been meeting regularly throughout the summer and playoffs, and we will continue to negotiate in good faith until we get a transformative deal done.

I don't know if that's coming. I mean, these WNBA players, they were wearing shirts at the All-Star game. that they didn't play hard in, by the way. About pay us what you owe us. What are y'all owed?

Am I missing something? And oh, by the way, yeah, everybody wants more money, but uh If the league is in Has been in debt. If the league, I don't even know if they make money yet. Yeah, there might be more cash coming in. But the league has you basically in the hole.

You gotta dig out before you can start spreading out the pie. Listen to what Commissioner. Engelbert, Had to say more specifically about Nafisa Collier's comments. Listen to this. There's a lot of inaccuracy out there through social media and all this reporting.

And so I think what's most helpful is to focus on I have been in touch with Nafisa, we've exchanged texts, we're talking next week.

So I think Obviously, a lot of reporting, a lot of inaccuracy about what I said or what I didn't say. And I will tell you, I highly respect the players. There's a lot of emotion and passion going on right now because we're in collective bargaining, we're in the WNBA finals, and so I'll leave it there. I mean, I'm just obviously disheartened. You know, I'm a human, too.

I have a family. I have two kids who are devastated by these comments, and so all I'll say is just. Um you know, it's it's obviously uh been a tough week. And I just think there's a lot of inaccuracy out there. Oh, she brought her kids up.

Can somebody please stick at the children, please? Mommy, are you a liar? Mommy, did you say that? Damn. Dash brought the kids up, ouch.

At least she's been in contact with Nafisakalia. At least they've been communicating via text. Damn, it's been a rough week in that house. I wonder what Kathy Engelbert's salary is. Hold on, let me Google that real fast.

I mean, she can't be ma well, she is probably making more than the players. Let's see. Kathy Engelbert. Hey, Bacha, I'm gonna say she makes, I don't know, uh 300, 400. I was thinking just 100 or 100 to 250.

Oh, no, no, she got to make more than that. Come on, let's see, let's see, let's see. Oh, uh-oh. Kathy Engelberth's specific salary is not publicly available. Of course it's not.

Yeah, she was at Deloitte, okay? She was making three mil. Um We don't know. We don't know. While not disclosed, the general range for WNBA president is around 900.

We don't know how much she's making. Let's just say she's making more than the players. I I bet on that one. Hey, Kathy Engelbert. You feel that your words have been misconstrued, you think they've been distorted, you think it's not accurate.

Are you texting with Nafisa? Can you guys build a rapport? Can you Try to fix things. Can you trust each other? The players have been great overall, I think.

So I feel um you know, confident that we can repair any loss of trust.

Okay, that's fine. But it wasn't just Nafisa Collier. Who came out and said, she doesn't communicate with us. We have no relationship. As she's telling us we all need to be thankful for her.

Oh. We had a bunch of players who came out, including Caitlin Clark, who's just like. Everything Nafisa said needed to be said. Kind of agreed with her. He had tons of players who agreed.

He had players telling stories. Elena Deladonna's like, I quit, I retired, and never even heard from the lady. Got hurt, didn't hear from her. What about the fact? That's a lot of these players hate your damn guts.

I was disheartened to hear that some players feel the league and me personally do not care about them or listen to them. And if the players in the W don't feel appreciated and valued by the league, then we have to do better and I have to do better. We know how great these players are on and off the court, how much they mean to our league, our fans and our communities. If they don't feel that, I will do everything I can to change that. Man, they really want this lady to leave.

Like they're in the middle of contract negotiations between the Players Association and the league. And it's like the the WNBA players want to push her out. Y'all y'all are gonna get a better deal with whoever comes in next? What is Adam Silver going to fire this lady? You know, Adam Silver doesn't want anything to do with none of this publicly.

He's like, I'm staying out of this. I'll do what I need to do in the background, but I am not throwing my. My hat in a ring. I'm not doing none of this. And they criticized her, they beating her up.

WNBA players go after the referees with reckless abandon. They kill them on a consistent basis and then they get fined $100. This is what Kathy Engelbert had to say about the referees who, according to the players, they suck. We've had a lot of conversations over towards the end of the regular season into the first and second rounds of the playoffs already, the semifinals. With our officiating staff, the leadership, to talk through exactly the evaluation, the accountability, the I again, I think there's you know, Everybody has their opinion on officiating in every sport.

I know I have five brothers. They have lots of opinions on officiating in every sport that I've been hearing since I was a little girl. But yeah, it's certainly something we're talking about. Obviously, the officials are evaluated. I didn't know this until I came into sports.

Every non-call and call is evaluated for every game. during the season. This isn't something like we blow off. Where the heck do they want the WNBA officials to come from? Huh, there's more money in the NBA.

All right, the best of the best are in the NBA. Where the heck where are you getting the rest of these refs from? I'm s I'm just being honest. And with there's levels to this. The NBA is a billion, billion, billion, billion.

What are they? $15 billion worth, I think. The NFL is at $20. NBA got to be.

somewhere between thirteen and fifteen and growing. The WMBA Maybe decades from now, maybe they don't even get there. I don't know. Inflation, maybe they will. The referees are going to suck in the WNBA.

What are you going to do about it? Pay him more? Where's the money coming from? Make more people watch. Make more people watch can't do that if y'all are in a lockout.

Referees suck all over the place, okay? People in the the NBA they there say the roughs suck. Come on now. Not as big a deal. But then what about the golden Goose.

We heard from the Fisakalia, said that Caitlin Clark needs to be happy. that she has a W NBA in front of her. A platform where she could make millions and millions and millions of dollars, even though she's making that money in college and already had a Nike deal. But outside of that, This is all hearsay. Kathy Engelberg.

Did what you say about Caitlin Clark, was that true? Obviously, I did not make those comments. Caitlin has been a transformational player in this league. She's been a great representative of the game. She's brought in tens of millions of new fans to the game, proud of what she's put on the court.

Unfortunately, the injuries held her back from a full season this year. But again, I'm not going to get into every point counterpoint. It's not productive here. We're here to celebrate the WNBA finals. I think what Indiana just did was amazing with all the injuries they had and everything they faced this year, bringing that to a game five in overtime.

But yeah, as I said, there's a lot of inaccuracies reported out there, and I certainly did not say that. Ooh. Botcha, did she just call Nafisa Kalier a liar? They called her a liar. They called the fans a liar.

They called all the podcasting. The fans? Yeah. The words came out of Nafisa Kalia's mouth. But they were spread.

People.

So forget media. Forget who's spreading it, okay? It's where the source came from. True. And said This is what she said about Kate.

She needs to be happy. She has a W and B A. that allowed her to make all this money. And Kathy Engelbert just said That's a lie. She didn't say Nafisakali is a l and what is Nafisakalia going like?

Oh, she calling me a liar? Damn. They're going to have a lockout.

Now, listen, folks. I love a good drama. I love a good story. I love it. It doesn't matter to me if this is men or women or whoever it is, it doesn't matter to me either sex or gender.

This is sports. Like I love a story. Like Jerry Jones, I think he's a jerk. Right. That guy's a good story.

He says ridiculous things. It's hilarious. It's it's horrific. It's bad for the WNBA that they're in this. But the fact that we have an active commissioner And an active star player who's heading the Plays Association, going back and forth with each other.

is amusing to me. It's bad for the WNBA. If they have a lockout, I believe they're going to have a lockout. This is bad. And then the fact that Kathy Engelbert had to read part of her statement, she read some of this stuff.

In some of these questions she responded kinda off the cuff. What happens next? A lockout. I think that's what happens next. I hope it doesn't last into the season.

But I think the players, if they're trying to get Kathy Engelbert out of here, I think she would have resigned by now. The crazier things have happened.

Somebody, please think of her children. Her children think. She's an awful human being, okay? Mom, how could you say that about Caitlin Clark? I didn't.

I didn't. Yes, you did, and I did it. What a world. What a world that we live in. Hey, the phone lines are open.

That's 888-710-4ISN. You think we're heading to a WNBA lockout? Like the finals are tonight. And we're talking about a lockout. Yeah, we probably wouldn't talk about the game.

Thank you for the story. 888-710-4ISN. That's 888-710-4ISN. Like you can't. Is she lying?

Somebody's not telling the truth. The phone lines are open if you want to talk. And I'm going to tell you something else crazy that I saw today. It's about Mac Jones and Brock Birdie. We'll get into that.

You're listening to the JR Sport Brief. Oh, my goodness. It is the J.R. Sport Brief Show here with you, coach to coast, on the Infinity Sports Network. Oh man, I I really got to look this one up.

Oh, my goodness. Bacha, did you I I'm in the break just looking through the news and what's going on in the world and I see uh Steph Curry's wife, Ayesha. is trending and I'm like Why is she uh Why is she Why is she trendin' here? And then it's these comments about how she is. Just Kind of telling their personal business.

I don't know. I don't know if this is accurate. I'm going to take a listen. It's about her, her career goals, and. And Steph Curry, I don't know.

I'm like, why? Yeah. Anyone's got a podcast? I don't know. Never wanted kids.

had her own career goals and Steph doesn't understand her.

Now, that's. We don't know if that's what she said. There's a two-minute clip. I haven't heard it yet, but I wanted to reserve judgment. If she said that bacha, let's uh Let's clip that and share it with the audience, okay?

Let's uh. We'll do. Let's see what uh Aisha Curry is saying, oh my goodness. Just like a I interviewed her once. You wanna know somethin', Botcher?

It's one of the only mistakes that I ever really remember making speaking with someone because they're not famous like that. At least they weren't. I was interviewing her Oh, man, this is getting messy. Um Is it her former No, is it uh Steph Curry's mother. She's not an ex for them or nothing, right?

How does that work with the divorce? That has nothing to do with Aisha, right? Yeah. It's still her mother-in-law, right? No?

If they're divorced, it's... Technically no? I guess. Because they're not in the law anymore. It's it's just Steph Curry's mama now?

Yeah, I guess. That's what I'd say. That's not her in-law? Because they're not by law they're not together. Who's not together?

If they hypothetically speaking, If Curry and Aisha get divorced, no, they're still together. Yeah, so that's her, that's her in-law. Yeah, okay. I was like, what are you talking about? Oh, the from these comments, the quotes, I'm just saying this doesn't look like it's going down a good path.

Oh, come on, you think Steph Curry? It's none of my business. It's now it is because she opened her mouth. Um You think they're not going to be together? How many kids they got?

That doesn't mean anything.

Well, they got like four kids now? Three or four. Did the qu did the quote just say she didn't want to have kids?

Well th it's it's Summarized.

So I'm recording it right now. I'm going to listen to it. But it it says she never wanted kids, had her own career goals, and Steph doesn't understand her.

So that if you go down the list of things that you really shouldn't be saying. About your husband?

Okay. That's probably up there. Let us hear what she said first, and then we'll go from there. Because the internet and social media has a weird way of. Distorting things just very, very oddly.

We're going to talk about Steph Curry in the Bay Area. This man is out here trying to win a championship and is uh Quotes from his wife on the internet. Let's see if they're accurate. We'll get there. 888-710-4ISN.

That's 888-710-4ISN. You know, speaking of crazy and wild things in the Bay Area, shout outs to everybody in Northern California. We talked about this earlier in the show. Forty niners beaten the Rams. Mac Jones, two touchdowns.

He has six touchdowns on the season now. Played his ass off yesterday. Got that busted up knee, is limping off the field, is vomiting, throwing up. gets the victory. Everybody loves Mac Jones.

Mac Jones is a tough guy.

Okay, but things went I think a little too far in in certain regards. There are people Screaming. that Mac Jones, should continue to be the starter. Yeah, that sounds nice. That's that's noble.

Okay, you got Brock Purdy. Been dealing with that busted up foot and the shoulder. He's only played two games this year. Right, he has 586 passing yards. He has four touchdowns, four interceptions.

Okay, we know he's not all that mobile. He ain't running anywhere. And then you got Mac Jones. who's thrown for 900 yards in three games. Six touchdowns.

has thrown one interception. It can actually run a little bit. Not a lot, but he can go out there and uh Well, who am I fooling? Neither one of these guys are moving. That's probably one of the reasons that this guy's hurt right now.

Sorry, Mac. But there are people going, Oh my God, Kyle Shanahan's system is Is built for this guy. And oh man, well, Brock Purdy needs to lose his job and maybe he can get traded to another team. And I'm like, am I on planet Earth right now? Aren't there salaries involved in this?

I mean, we got Brock Purdy, who's in the beginning. of a brand new contract, paying him, what, $54 million? Like And what world and what planet? Are they just gonna bench the guy making 54? Mac Jones.

Is making about $4 to $5 million this year. Let's do the math again. Four and five million dollars. Brock Purdy's making fifty-four. You don't think Brock Purdy's gonna get healthy with his foot?

and get a chance. If he comes back and sucks, oh yeah, they're going to sit him down. But to have this conversation right now is everybody's just ridiculously Jumping ahead. I can't believe it. Let Brock Purdy come back.

Let Brock Purdy suck. Let Mac Jones just lead the world. And then you can have that conversation, but in no world. Should there be conversations about, oh, they got to trade. Brock Purdy before the trade deadline.

Who's picking up a guy making fifty-four million dollars? How could you possibly that doesn't make no damn sense Mac Jones was actually asked about this after the game. that he won. And he was it's like, hey, hey, hey, Mac. Don't you feel like the starter?

Listen to these reporters trying to start some controversy. I think, you know, they brought me here to play. as a backup and that's my job and Brock's the starter of this team and Right now he's dealing with something and for him to go out there last week and play when you know he probably wasn't full for health. Like he cares about this team.

So I'm just trying to get some wins for him so it helps us down the line. And at the end of the day, that's what it's all about. Like, I've been in his position, I've been a starter. and you want your backup to go in there and win because at the end of the season that could be the hit or miss between a playoff or not. Look at that, look at a good teammate.

How about that? We actually have some good teammates in the world of sports.

Well, that's the quarterback from the team. What does the head coach think? Let's listen to Kyle Shannon here. Hey, Kyle. It don't you think that Mac could Could be a starter in the NFL, if not the 49ers.

What do you think, Kyle? Do you look at Mac if a starting caliber quarterly? Oh yeah, definitely. Yeah. always have.

Yeah, he's our backup. Ha ha ha ha. He ain't diving too deep into that. But just give it a break, folks, okay?

So, this entire article on Bleach Report: Oh, they gotta trade him. Maybe they can. He's playing better with less. Oh, my God. Yeah, Brock Purdy was running around with a busted up foot.

Give him a break. Let the man go out there and earn his $54 million. Why are you trying to wally pip this man right out of the building? Look, if Mac Jones. Is going out there and he's throwing four touchdowns and zero interceptions for the next two games.

And yeah, you keep him out there. But trade Brock Purdy ain't going anywhere. I don't think we're going to have a situation where Was he gonna be uh the younger version of Kirk Cousins? What a miserable story that would be Well, not Kirk Cousins, but He got Brock Purdy. Selected last.

You're listening to the JR Sport Brief. It is the JR Sport Brief Show here with you, coast to coast. on the Infinity Sports Network. Eight eight eight seven ten four I S N is the number. That's 888.

Seven ten. Four I S N Talk some. This has been a busy day.

So much going on. Talk Major League Baseball, divisional round of the postseason tomorrow. Talk some. NFL football on Sunday. Yeah, college football, Lamar.

Oh, by the way, I mean, it depends on where the hell you live. And tomorrow is one of those, uh those light days on the schedule. Like, sure, yeah, if you wanna see, you know, Bill Belichick and I guess this is two miserable coaches. And Bill Belichick. North Carolina.

Dabble Sweeney. and Clemson, they're going at each other at at twelve PM Eastern. 9 a.m. in the morning on the west coast. That'll be fun watching these two miserable guys on the sidelines.

Botra Clemson got to win this one, right? Yeah, right. Hey, we said Clemson has to win a bunch of other games too, and they disappointed.

So, I don't know. Cade Klebnik sees a Belichick defense. Maybe his brain gets Rewired or something, but maybe realistically speaking, they should win by at least two scores. It should. I guess Let's say again.

Keyword showed up. Keyword should. I guess if we got one matchup that's really worth watching, ranked teams, we got Alabama. A hosting Vanderbilt. Yeah, I shout out to all my folks down in in the State of Florida, Okay.

We got Miami, we got Florida State. That should be uh an interesting watch. But There's not a lot of matchups tomorrow that make me go, oh my god, I need to be glued into the TV all day long. We got Penn State versus UCLA. At least Penn State will roll through them.

I wonder if uh Deshaun Foster is gonna sit around and watch. Probably not. Yeah, there's there's not a lot of uh uh great games, so but uh One thing that I do know, And we've heard this again from Lane Kiffen. Oh my god, he was sitting down with Kirk Herb Street. And he's just like NIL is changing everything.

He's saying that the SEC is no longer just one of these Two teams at the top powerhouses now due to to NIL. These just He gave it. Is he ever going to be happy about anything? At least this time he wasn't beating somebody up about what they spend, but they're typically. Behind the eight ball.

So I don't know. He speaks out of both sides of his mouth. He's speaking of Florida. David is calling from Florida. Hey, David, you're on the JR Sport Reeshow.

What's going on with you, man? Hey, David, you're live on the radio.

Okay, David is not on. Bacha, what happened to that guy? Stage fright. Is Stage Friday just disappeared? But the question Are the Chiefs Super Bowl contenders?

That was the question. That was the question. Okay. The answer is yes. I don't think they're going to win it this year, but hell, why not?

You know, why? Why the hell not? Uh anyway, speaking of stage fright. We just talked about this.

Someone who does not have stage fright. Ayesha curry. The wife of of Steph Curry. She was sitting down on some podcast. Why, I have no idea.

And she's just spilling her life. Does Steph Curry approve of this? Does he want this out here? Bacha, we've read the quotes. Do the quotes match up with the reality?

They do. But they're not, if you take it in context of the whole conversation. They're not as bad as it sounds. It's just. Ayusha Curry is just.

Focused on what she wants to do. more with her life. Not besides like raising kids, she's talking about like Her passions and building a career outside of being a family woman. When I met her. I think they had one kid, Riley, the older daughter who was sitting on Steph Curry's lap.

She has to be a teenager by now, I guess, maybe. Um And I met her because she was starting a cooking brand. Like, that's.

Well, you know, I guess if you have kids and more kids and more kids, it's tougher to do. Here's Aisha Curry. You be the judge. She says that. She didn't want children.

And she didn't want to be married, I guess before Curry. I didn't want kids. I I didn't want to get married. I thought I was gonna be a career girl, and that's it. And I had my eyes set on my goals, and I was never the little girl that like dreamt about the wedding dress and all of that.

And then it happened so early in my life.

So it's one of those things like you don't, you don't know what you want, you actually don't know what you want.

Okay, that's not bad. Like I wouldn't be sitting around talking about any of this publicly, but hey, I don't think that's bad. I think that's. I think that's normal for a lot of people. It's normal.

They met, I think they met in college. It's nothing crazy.

Okay, so we can the internet's being the internet. internet's being mean and nasty. Um Reasonable. Plenty of women don't want to have kids and don't want to be married, and then they meet somebody and it changes.

So, nothing bad there. What about this thing that she doesn't? Or well no. Steph Curry doesn't understand her sometimes. What about that?

I do not have a bone in my body that can keep anything to myself.

So, if it comes to mind, it's coming out. And he's so gracious, like. He tries. to resonate with me. But he just can't.

And he also comes from a place of like It's effing stupid. Like, it's not true, so why are you? And I'm like, but wait, like. Listen to how it makes me feel. And he's like, But why does it make you feel like that?

It's not real.

Okay, nothing wrong with it. They got a whole book about this. The book came out in the 90s. What is it? Maybe longer than that.

Men are from Mars, women are from Venus.

Okay, sure. I don't know. Do you know how many times people, there are people every day having this conversation all day long? She doesn't understand what the heck I'm saying. He doesn't understand.

This is a whole life thing. We're biologically built different. Get over it. Here's Ayesha Curry on her. career goals after becoming a mom.

She was selling cookware. That's when I met her. But after my daughter Turn One. I remember there being a shift and being like, uh I have Goals for myself. Like, this doesn't feel right.

I love being a mom, but I love doing other things too. And I need to get my. together and figure out what that looks like for myself now. If I have a career and I'm not home, like, like, did you experience that? I still experience that.

I still experience that. Like I'm always in therapy. Talking about this. If you lose all of those things that. were interesting about you.

Even for yourself, like even the things that made me feel confident and cool, then what, like. What are you doing? No, boy. This was on the Call Her Daddy podcast.

Now I've heard about this. Bacha, do you know about this podcast? I I think I know most of the lore or the the history about it. What's the deal? It's just uh women sit together and say things, huh?

It was part of Barstool. Oh, okay. I think her name's Alex Earle. She's dating Braxton Berrios. But I think she got so popular.

that she split away and Spotify gave her a giant contract.

So now she gets all these celebrities and influencers and. All right. You know what podcast? Lot. If if Aisha Curry was selling something, then good for her.

But I don't know what the point of any of this was. I don't know the point of a lot of these podcasts. Just people running around telling stories. Maybe they make some money, maybe they don't. Does she need to do any of this?

Does she really need to be hurt? Like. Oh. This is for women. It's not for me.

So, what do I know? She said her own husband doesn't understand her at times. Why would I understand her? I wish them nothing. But the best.

But who who am I to say? If I was here I go, getting in trouble. If I was Steph Curry's husband, Our well, not husband. Wife, I'd be sitting around doing nothing, okay? And I'd be happy to do it.

Where them kids at? Let me feed these kids, take them outside. and count the money. I'd be out here minding my business. But I guess that's a point.

You know, everybody got goals. I understand. I've had a relationship Or two. Or a few. That have not worked because it's just like, I'm working.

Like, I'm doing work. You don't need to work, but you want to work.

Well, you don't need to. What are we beefing for? I don't know. And some things just don't make sense. Botch was that JR wisdom?

I don't think so. I want to stop while I'm ahead of myself. Not really. It's just let people do what they want to do, I guess. Yeah.

But don't make everything public. Yeah, let oh yeah. And she's going to be on a new podcast next week. Hey, Bach, you got to be careful. You don't understand her either.

Well, I don't, but I don't want to hear about it. Oh damn. But I'm just I'm like I'm like I understand the podcast is like a therapy for most women who go on there and they just talk about that's what it is. They talk about what's going on in their lives. What about the men?

The men do podcasts too. Yeah. But Dudes are usually yelling at each other and telling each other that they're bad at sports. They're not actually going in depth on family values.

Okay, all right, well. She's talking about her husband, one of the greatest NBA players of all time. Thank you, Aisha Curry. We appreciate you. It's the JR Sport Brief Show here with you, coast to coast, on the Infinity Sports Network.
