Chapter 1: What are the backgrounds of Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe?
Because one of their sponsors is The Row.
Stop.
But it's not that row.
Okay. I was like, it is? Is it? I hope so. Are you sponsoring us? Everyone's eyes just got huge. I would love to be sponsored by The Row. Me too.
I think The Row you guys were promoting was some area of some town where there's lots of shops.
Oh, down here there's a row. I don't even know.
I think it's like an area. It was like, visit this and this. But when I first heard The Row, I was like, oh, Monica's going to be really upset.
We love The Row too, though. Aww. Dream sponsor. I don't think the twins sponsor anyone or give discounts or give a fuck about anyone, honestly.
No. They sure don't. They sure don't. I've heard about their friends and family discount. It's quite minimal.

Chapter 2: How do Sue and Megan view competition and parenting in sports?
Yeah.
So add Patti Arquette to the list.
I think Elizabeth gets free stuff. I hope so.
I think she probably does. If she wears it. Might be an act of rebellion.
No, she supports her sister.
Yeah, they love each other probably.
Anyway, so I don't want it to come off like they're not generous.
Oh, okay.
Because I don't know about their generosity.
