Hello and welcome to full time with Meg Linnehan. I am your host, Meg Linnehan.

Tamara Griffin is on vacation, so I am joined by my friend and fellow writer at the Athletic, Steph Young. Steph, how are you doing? I'm sorry. Full time with Meg Linahan. I am lit. Meglinhan recalls the worst experience of my life introducing myself, going up to Stephanie McCaffrey and saying, hello Stephanie, I am also Stephanie.

I mean, the number of times that I've been with Megan Rapino and someone says Megan behind us

and both of us look and I'm like, that wasn't for me. Yeah. Good times. But stuff, how are you?

Still waking up at 2 a.m. over Hello Stephanie. I'm also Stephanie in a just cold sweat

of awkwardness, but that's not unusual. Other than that, we've got some Olympic rest maybe in the

bag. Question mark? Kind of. Kind of. I mean, I still am waking up at 5 a.m. Although part of that is just because the dog is now back home and the dog is now also a senior lady and loves a good 5 a.m. wake up.

But stuff, I want to talk to you about WNBA. Well, Miss Boston.

Yeah, the first WNBA game at TD Garden. I told a friend The Garden and he was like, oh, MSG, and I was like, you heathen. How dare you? How dare you? You know where I live, because I talk about it nonstop. It was great. was sold out crowd. The game was actually really good.

The sun had me worried a little bit, but then they turned up the heat in the fourth quarter.

I thought it was a really great experience that kind of hopefully lays the trail for more,

whether that's the sun deciding let's split the season and sell more games

at the garden or W testing the waters of a Boston franchise on its own, we'll see, but I had a

really good time. Yeah, Lauren Holiday, Drew also there. How close were you to that, the first family of Boston sports?

They rocked up in the second quarter, and we were probably about nine rows behind them.

Normally, my wife and I spend money on like three or four games a season at Mohegan Sun. At the Garden,

obviously tickets were more expensive. We were like, let's blow our season budget on one big game.

So we got decent seats like midcourt pretty close to the holidays. Jason Tatum was there too.

Bless her heart, the people next to me, the Connecticut Sun have a lot of dedicated older fans that I think are coming into Yukon fandom as well.

The woman and her husband sitting next to me were on like full Connecticut Sun, orange gear, easily 80 plus years old.

Everyone loses it when the holidays come in, obviously with Drew just coming out of the Olympics.

She turns to me and she goes, who is that man?
