    Abby Wambach and Julie Foudy Break Down Your Next Sport Obsession
    Apr 23 2026
    From Stagecoach chaos and teenage parenting dilemmas to one of the fastest-growing sports in the worldthis episode takes a turn in the best way possible. Julie and Abby kick things off with a very real conversation about parenting teens, festival price tags, and the absolute logistics nightmare that is Stagecoach. (Spoiler: someone is absolutely on pickup duty.) But then, the party pivots… Because women’s rugby is having a moment and it’s bigger than you think. With nearly half of fans brand new in the last two years and record-breaking growth across the board, Julie and Abby sit down with Carly Waters (Denver Onyx) and Lesley Paterson (WER board member, 5x world champion triathlete & Oscar-nominated screenwriter) to break down why this sport is exploding right now. They get into: * Why rugby is built for every body * The culture that makes it one of the most inclusive sports in the world * What actually happens in a scrum (we finally understand it… kinda) * The rise of Women’s Elite Rugby (WER) and what’s next in the U.S. * And why this sport might be the next obsession for Party People everywhere By the end, you won’t just know what a scrum half is, you’ll be debating lineouts and planning your first rugby match watch.

  • Lauren Betts: From NCAA Champion to WNBA Top Pick

    Lauren Betts: From NCAA Champion to WNBA Top Pick
    Apr 16 2026
    Fresh off a national championship and straight into the WNBA, Lauren Betts is back, and her life has officially gone bonkers (in the best way). In just a few weeks, Lauren led UCLA to its first-ever title, became a top-five WNBA draft pick, signed major deals, and somehow stayed grounded through it all. She joins Julie Foudy and Abby Wambach to break down the whirlwind: winning it all, draft night with her teammates, and stepping into the next chapter with the Washington Mystics. They also get into the real stuff—team culture, confidence, handling pressure, and why vulnerability has been her biggest superpower. Plus: WNBA Draft chaos, UCLA’s historic takeover, and the emotional moments that made this week unforgettable.
