This episode of the Dan Levitard Show is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours.
All right. As everybody knows, we every day. We have Roy's video of the day. Roy, can you let us know what we got today, please? Hey, you know more than I do. Okay. Excellent job, Roy, previewing your video of the day. Can we put Roy's video of the day up on the screen? Our visual audience, the YouTube audience, DraftKings Network, you have the pleasure of being able to see Roy's video of the day. He does, as you heard, a tremendous job, a lot of research picking out his video of the day. Roy, do you want to explain your video of the day to us here as we now all see it together?
It seems as if these people are doing a hammer throw with large tuna. Shot put vibes. Olympic shot put vibes.
Shot put is the one with the ball in the neck. That's more discus than shot put.
Yeah, Roy, I think you're describing an Australian fish toss, I think is the video you chose. He knows that. He's playing Roy. That sounds like a slur. Yeah, he's very humble, Roy. All right. He doesn't want to take all the credit for the tremendous video. All women, by the way. Yeah. Notice that? All women. Well, they're good at that over there. Everybody knows that. So that's Roy's video.
That's Az right there.
Look at that. There you have it. So, Dave, I don't know if you saw this, but yesterday, well... over the weekend sports yes like it well that brings us to this story okay very appropriate so over the weekend you had the wnba draft and the number one overall pick not surprisingly was yukon's az fud she was selected by the dallas wings all right and it's uh it's it's Relevant for a couple reasons. Number one, AZ Fudd's a really good player and totally deserving of being the number one overall pick. Was it a no-brainer number one overall pick? Probably not, but totally deserving to be the number one overall pick. And apparently also, it's not a secret, her girlfriend is last year's number one overall pick by the Dallas Wings, also from UConn, her former teammate Paige Beckers, who is certainly one of the best players in the league.
And there hasn't been a whole lot as far as covering that angle of the selection. Well, yesterday, AZFUD was introduced to the Dallas media for the first time alongside the, I assume, you know, the general manager and the head coach of the team. She was flanked on each side by two gentlemen. And give this a listen here. This is a reporter who finally, like somebody finally decides to ask a question about her relationship with Paige Beckers. Give it a listen.
Daisy, Kevin Sherrington, Dallas Morning News. Paige announced last year on TikTok that y'all were a couple, and I'm wondering if that's still the case, and if so, if y'all have talked to any other couples in the league about how they negotiate that dynamic as pro teammates. I understand why you have to ask that question, but we're going to respectfully decline from commenting on our players' personal lives. Go to the next question.
Okay, so that was the PR person who is off-camera who jumps in. That is not AZFUD. That is the PR person who jumps in off-camera and says, we are not going to answer those questions. So, I mean, first of all, We are not going to answer those questions. OK, like the Dallas Swings don't have to answer the question. But like, does AZ want to answer any question? They're like, we are not going to answer the question. So are they telling their players that we're not going to talk about personal relationships? So that part's a little strange. But I guess I would also like to throw it out. Does anyone have a problem with the line of questioning?
I don't have a problem with a line of questioning because there is a draft pick. here at stake and and that's you know something that fans of that franchise are curious in it is a franchise decision as you noted terrific player but not a consensus overall number one pick right there there was some debate about this and look it's not like players have dated one another in that league in particular it is commonplace uh across the pond it is
