Caitlin Clark vs Angel Reese, the Rise of the WNBA, and the Fall of Zach

Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese lit up the court — and the headlines. This week, with Zach conveniently out of town, Matt and Damon dive into the WNBA’s rising stars, heated rivalries, and why the league’s having a moment. We talk Fever fandom, nearly-forgotten NBA playoff teams, and the quiet joy of a Zach-less studio. Also: applications are open for Zach’s replacement. Must be tall, clean-shaven, and capable of playing one-on-one with Caitlin Clark.
