March Madness is All Around!

About this episode

Cari has been bouncing between LA and New York and is close to recording from home full-time. She shouts out Kayla Nicole after appearing on her structured, story-driven “Pregame” podcast, saying it changed her perspective and reminded her not to judge people by social media. Now back in NYC, she vents about neighbors leaving shoes and a kid’s bike in the hallway, admits she left a polite note, and asks listeners if she was wrong. She recaps attending Gotham FC’s opener and then breaks down the WNBA’s new seven-year CBA: revenue share rising to 20%, a $7M team salary cap, a $1.4M top salary, and improvements like charter travel, housing, family planning support, and better insurance, while arguing players will soon need even more. She tees up and plays an interview with UCLA coach Cori Close and Jemele Hill about Wooden’s influence, media coverage gaps, NIL’s “wild west,” and building confident, pro-ready athletes as UCLA enters March Madness.
