Summary

Soccer legend Lucy Bronze joins Megan and Sue to talk about how she dominated Euro 2025 with a not-so-secret-secret broken leg, what she learned from her college teammates at UNC, and what her autism diagnosis has meant to her. Plus, Sue gives a behind-the-scenes look at how her tryst with the Storm’s mascot Doppler came to be, and they discuss the spate of bonkers scoring in the WNBA, including record-setting performances by A’ja Wilson, Dominique Malonga, and Alyssa Thomas. Our Workout of the Week tackles how to add a little exercise to your everyday activities, and we share some responses to our anti-bicker of the week about brushing your teeth before drinking coffee. And don’t forget, we’re bringing A Touch More to Seattle on August 16th with very special guests Gabby Williams and Lauren Jackson! Get your tickets here.
