Summary

We’re opening up the mailbag this week to answer your burning questions about sports, Sue and Megan’s relationship, and everything in between, like what are Megan and Sue’s biggest regrets from their careers? Should women’s soccer balls be a different size than men’s? And how do Megan and Sue prefer to be approached in public? Plus, we play a couple of rounds of 14-questions, TikTok style, to see how much Megan and Sue agree on each other’s strengths (and weaknesses). Who’s grumpier in the morning? Who requires more attention? Also in this episode: Megan and Sue discuss what Landon Donovan’s experience of getting new hair can teach us about the importance of trans rights and ensuring everyone can live in the body they choose.
