Chapter 1: Who are the hosts and guests on this episode?
Hey, what's up, y'all? Welcome to Good Follow, presented by DraftKings. I'm Roz Golden-Boudet, and today I am here with the dynamic duo, or maybe we're the terrific trio. My girls are here, Logan Hackett, and we are joined right from the top of the show. She's back, y'all. Monique Billings of the Golden State Valkyries, WNBA vet, and a great friend to the show. And it's deserving of the medal.
Thank you for the bell.
Love the bell. I'm doing great. How are y'all doing? So good. So good. So happy to see you. Wait, first of all, can we talk about the glow that both y'all have going on? I know you were in Miami. I saw the content. Yeah, the sun did y'all well, okay?
Oh, thank you. You know what? Logan was basking in the sun. It was giving very much like Canadian does Florida. Logan was so happy to see the sun out there. 100%.
Well, you know, every time I come to the show, we got to go through our intentions. So I'll start us off. I would say my intention that I'm currently focusing on, I've been my unapologetic area. And when I say that, when I say that I'm walking into every space, every opportunity, like I'm meant to be there. not doubting, not questioning it and just being unapologetic in who I am.
I'm very genuine. I'm authentic, but I'm about my business and I've been standing on my business this off season. And so I'm in my unapologetic era. That is my intention.
Period.
I love that.
I love that. And I can't, I can't even imagine there ever being a space or a room where you are not absolutely needed and add value to. So I just, that means a lot. further breathe that into you.

Chapter 2: What are the hosts' personal intentions for the season?
Logan, I'm really interested to know, why would you say neutral sites opposed to home court advantage?
To be honest, there's not much behind it other than the fact that your fan bases both have to travel. So maybe it would be like even keeled because especially in the first and second round tournaments, based on what we've seen this year, there have been humongous blowouts.
So maybe it's a little bit like more for the team who would maybe be a 15, 13, honestly, any team between like 15 and 11 seed, some more motivation. Maybe we'd see some more upsets because the crowd isn't fully behind them. But with that said, I definitely see why the players would like it and why it is a great thing because from what we've seen on TV, the fan bases have been going strong.
I was just going to say, I think it's even more of an incentive to have a higher seed. Like you're getting to play at home. So it's like that makes you play harder. Like just wanting to be in your comfort zone. What you got for us?
No, I think, of course, you know, it's nice for the person who gets to eat at home and sleep in their beds. And, you know, you're already the dominant top seed. Like, how much harder do we need to make this on the little guy? I think we're missing the point.
Like, obviously, if there were more neutral... If we were playing on neutral sites, there's more likelihood for there to be more upsets early, more parity, more madness. And I think the woman's game is elevating to this. It's already, you know, we're seeing more parity. The biggest barrier is...
an economic issue you know just putting the butts in seats the biggest draws and fan bases and ticket sales still in the women's game really and naturally follows the biggest stars legendary coaches perennial programs and so like that's the hard part but as everything that logan just listed as far as like the growth of the women's game only puts more uh i think incentive and
accountability on the backs of the powers that be to challenge themselves to be better and continue to innovate, find a way to organize the women's tournament where you can optimize attendance and ticket sales, but also optimize fairness. And I think that's the challenge as the game continues to escalate and grow.
That's a mic drop moment, Roz.
