Summary

For our final episode of 2025, transathlete advocate and Team USA duathlete Chris Mosier joins us to talk about his career fighting for transathlete rights, how sports gave him confidence at an early age, and where he sees hope in the future. For a long-overdue look at college basketball, we discuss whether anyone can beat UConn, which players we’re having the most fun watching, and whether college basketball might be lacking the star power of recent years. We’re also checking in on USA Basketball, which had its first training camp for the 2028 Olympics with Managing Director Sue Bird. Plus: Megan is handing out her end-of-the-year Meggies and we’re playing a themed bench/start/cut of holiday traditions – movies, songs, gifts – nothing’s safe!
