Okay, real question. If you're heading to an NWSL or MLS match this summer, do you have a pair of

0:06.2

sunglasses that can handle a run, playing with your dog, a stop at brunch, and then heading

0:11.4

to the big match? Because that's basically a perfect day and it's exactly what Goeter sunglasses are

0:17.1

built for. I'm excited about this one because Gooder now has officially licensed NWSL and

0:22.6

MLS sunglasses. So you can rep your favorite club all summer long, whether you're out being

0:27.9

active or just hanging with friends before kickoff. They're designed to actually move with you.

0:32.9

They've got a no slip grip so they stay put even when you're sweating, a no bounce fit that runners will

0:38.6

appreciate and UV 400 protection for those bright afternoon matches. And there are tons of

0:44.9

team color combos and frame styles. So you can find a pair that matches your club and your vibe

0:49.5

for all your spring and summer plans. I can wear these out to coffee with my friends on my big trips

0:54.7

to New York and then straight to the Gotham game after to cheer them on. If you're ready to upgrade

your eyewear, head to gooder.com slash TWG to claim $10 off your first order when you sign up

with your email. That's g-o-o-odr.com slash TWG for $10 off your first order. You can tell me, actually, was it because I was like really convincing and charming? Or was it because I was very belligerent and they didn't want to deal with me? Or maybe it was both. I think it was a combo of both, but I really think you somehow get out of a lot of things with your charm. You always bring me back, Becky. You always, like, reel me back in. I try. I try. I try. The beautiful parts of our friendship. Hi, everyone. Welcome back to teaming up with Becky Sauerberg, brought to you by the women's game. Our guest today is one of my favorite people, my former teammate, my forever friend, Megan Klingenberg. I've been fortunate in this life to have

1:47.8

befriended and loved a few people who understand me so fully and see me so clearly that to be

1:53.1

anything but who I am would be an insult. People who can tell within two seconds of seeing me if

1:57.5

something's wrong. And I treasure these people because when I was younger,

2:01.0

I didn't know if I'd ever find them. I could feel myself bending to fit the mold of a person I was not.

2:07.4

So to find your people is such a gift. And cling is a big gift. To have played with one of my

2:12.4

favorite people for over a decade is a blessing from the soccer gods themselves. She's outrageous.

2:17.1

She speaks before she thinks.

2:18.7

She calls it how she sees it, usually without a filter, basically everything I am not.
