Okay.
Hello, everyone.
We're live with Hot On Lee.
Here we go.
Episode one of Gals.
Woo.
We were just yapping about our survey results and had a lot of good content.
So thank you everyone for contributing.
Yeah, thank you for the feedback.
Episode one is going to be kind of awk because we've never done this.
Trial and error.
That's all that it is.
Trial and error.
It'll be beautiful.
We just got our microphones.
Lee's has a way better microphone than I do.
It's way cuter because that's the whole point.
It's get the cutest.
Yeah, get the cutest one.
I know I really just got it because they had the pink option.
That was it.
Yeah, I should have done the same thing, honestly.
We'll get you a new one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
When we're successful, I'll get myself a new one.
Yeah, we'll like bling it out.
Absolutely.
That would be great.
Bedazzle it.
Cool.
Amazing.
Yeah.
So this episode is for our fans because we already have fans, let's be honest.
This is for you guys.
For our fans who get to know us.
Absolutely.
So gal number one, you can go first.
You can be gal number one.
Oh, I'm gal number one?
You're gal number one.
I haven't even done anything, guys, and I'm already gal number one.
I'm going to very quickly fall to gal number two here soon.
Yeah.
But yes, hello, everyone.
My name is Lee.
I live in New York, and I actually just moved to the Upper West Side, so super excited.
Right next to the park, huge fan.
So, okay, so we're supposed to talk about our favorite team.
So I grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
I'm a Midwestern girlie.
So that means obviously we're obsessed with sports.
And I also went to the University of Michigan.
So huge, huge Michigan fan, go blue, go Wolverines.
We love them.
They're amazing.
It's been a tough year for us, but we're hanging on.
We'll talk more about that soon.
And then, of course, cannot forget about my Detroit Lions.
I'm, to be frank, a little bit of a fair weather fan here.
So, but I'm ready to be ride or die for the Lions for the rest of my life, even if after this year, they're just terrible.
So I'm here for that.
Growing up, I played basketball.
I'm five five.
So I don't know why we decided to have me do that.
I was not good at it.
But my dad played basketball.
And so, of course, you know, that's what I had to do.
I also ice skated.
I was a figure skater for a few years.
I did synchronized skating, which is cool.
I have learned how to swim.
I hated it, though.
I cried every single time I had to go to swim team practice.
And I know how to box.
I didn't know that.
It was a really traumatic time.
I don't like to talk about it.
OK, OK. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was it was hard.
Yeah. And I box.
I used to work at a boxing club.
And I also ride horses, not currently, but I know how to.
We used to own a horse, my family and I.
Yeah. Yeah.
I did not know any of that.
I'm learning so much.
Surprise.
Yeah.
To gal number two.
Yeah.
Gal number two had no idea.
Yeah. Just completely left in the dark.
Yeah.
I was going to say maybe you'll also find out some things about me.
Yeah.
I'm excited.
Oh, wait.
So you said football, college football.
What about favorite basketball, baseball?
And is there another sport that I'm missing that is a bit hockey and hockey?
OK. Yeah.
Basketball used to be the Pistons.
Although I think now now that I'm in New York, I have to kind of select a new team.
So right now it's the Nets.
OK.
I have a few Nets merch, so I feel like I have to lean into that.
But now that we've moved to the Upper West Side, I don't know, the Knicks are looking pretty good.
So if anyone has any input on that one, let me know.
In terms of baseball, I would have to say the Tigers.
Like I think we did pretty well last year.
They're exciting to watch.
Like Detroit, we love Detroit.
But and I know New York will hate me for saying this, the Dodgers are just also really fun to watch.
So just some really, really good players.
You have those. You have a little bit of LA.
Yeah, I lived in LA.
I've gone to at least one Dodgers game.
I'm basically a lifetime fan.
They almost. Did they win this year?
They did. They did.
They like unequivocally won.
So sorry, New York.
A gal, a girl that also won.
I should know who won the World Series.
And OK, well, we're working on it.
We have. Yeah, we'll we'll work on that one.
Yeah, content wise.
And then hockey.
I have to discover this one.
I actually grew up watching hockey because my my best friend at the time, her brother was a triple A hockey player.
So all of you that know hockey out there, it's pretty up there.
And then driven that I grew up in Michigan, that's like basically the main sport that anyone played.
So I'd have to say, of course, the Red Wings have a special place in my heart.
My mom also really likes hockey and she doesn't like any sports and she loves the Red Wings.
So that probably is the team.
And we know people that play on the Red Wings.
But I'm open to being a Rangers fan.
Yeah, we do. We know a couple of people.
Yeah, it's said friend that like my childhood best friend.
We're still friends.
She actually got proposed to at a Red Wings game like a few years ago.
And DJ knows that person.
Remember, we talked about this not to get off the rails.
Right. That's right.
I think it was someone that he played hockey.
No, no, no. The the girl went to Florida State and she's dating the Detroit player.
I think that's the connection.
It's OK. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There's another OK, or it might just be my friend Kenzie may have just followed him
because I think you guys all met at my birthday last year.
Yeah, that's what it was.
I remember we had it was also I think on TV.
Like I think it was televised.
It was the Red Wings versus the Rangers.
So maybe he saw it there, too.
Yes. Yep.
Yeah, I'm derailing us.
No, you're not.
I mean, it kind of is because it kind of about gossip and it is about sports.
She and she's a girl who also like she's a gal.
She's a gal. She is a gal.
He's a gal. I told her I'd give her a shout out on our podcast.
So here we go. Episode one.
That's for you, Kenzie.
There you go. OK.
OK. Gal number two.
OK, I'm gal number two, Hada, also live in New York.
I'm in Brooklyn.
So farther away from Lee than I would like to be.
But that's a future problem that will solve.
And so my favorite sports.
This is about to be chaotic and people will be like, why do you like all these different sports?
And I'll explain when we go through them.
Football, Chicago Bears, Go Bears, which puts me and I in a very interesting situation
because they're both in the same division and we're supposed to be enemies.
But we're not. We're friends.
And I love the Lions, like not love.
But if there's one team in that division, besides the Bears.
Yeah, it's the Lions.
So Chicago Bears, college football, Florida State Seminoles, going all baby.
Yes. And then for basketball.
I also don't really follow basketball, but I'm trying to get into it.
So I'm going to go to New York Knicks because I also need a New York team.
So the Knicks, baseball, New York Mets, and then hockey, Philadelphia Flyers.
Yeah, exactly.
Got to have Gritty up in there.
Yeah, he's the reason why.
Gritty is the reason why.
He's the reason for everything.
I'm actually staring at a pop, what are the little pop socket thingies?
Oh, the ones that go on the back of your phone?
No, no, no, like the little figurines.
Oh, you guys have one of Gritty?
Yes, I do. He's staring right at me.
I love it. The spirit of Gritty is with us always.
Always. He's so creepy.
No. Oh my God.
He's so creepy.
This is our special guest appearance.
Yeah, most people won't be seeing this live video, but let me just, trust me when I say that he's very scary.
Because the eyes are actually black, but I painted the eyes white with this to make it not as creepy.
But I think it came out.
Yeah, I don't know that it was black before.
Yeah, like fully black.
It's horrific.
Yeah. Anyways, again, I'm derailing us.
My bad. He's definitely making an appearance on the episode.
He will always make an appearance.
Okay. And then sports I played growing up.
Tennis was everything in my family. I got a tennis racket at the age of five and I did not put it down until I went off to college.
So I actually was looking at playing Division 2 tennis in for college.
That's how much I played tennis.
Oh my God. Talented gal.
Yeah, you learned something new about me.
Wow.
Tennis and then I dabbled in soccer, cross country.
I would play for fun a bunch of different sports, but from a competitive level, it was always tennis.
That's amazing.
Yeah, that's my sports that I played. Yeah.
Wow.
Those were all the questions, right?
Yeah, I think for the individual gal, those are all the questions.
Okay.
Okay. So why are we here? And what are we doing?
Why are we here?
That's a great question.
That's next on our list to talk about.
So, okay, the story is, most of the inspiration came from Hada, so gal 2, and we were at a bar in Brooklyn and we were grabbing drinks.
I think I went to the bathroom and I came back and Hada was like so excited.
She was very animatedly talking about this podcast idea and she's like, Lee, we need to do a podcast about sports, like hear me out.
Yep.
And what inspired you, Hada, to come up with Gals?
I'm going to keep this PG-13, but I'll just say that during 2020, I dabbled in some activities.
I was hanging out with Mary Jane, if you know what I mean.
And my best business ideas come when I'm hanging out with Mary Jane.
Oh yeah.
I hope you're catching on.
Yeah, yeah, I know you're catching on.
She's a helpful friend.
She's very helpful.
She unlocks a lot of doors.
She does.
And this was one of them.
And I don't even know how it happened.
I think I just said like, a podcast of girls talking about sports for the audience of other girls.
And then I don't know how it even came up, like the whole gal thing, because it just works so well.
Girls also like sports.
Gals.
It rolls off the tongue.
Yeah, it just works really well.
So I had it in my back pocket for four years.
And then I don't know what it was.
I think it's just you and Lee's boyfriend, Ben.
He's also getting a shout out today.
Hey, Ben.
You guys are just so supportive and everything.
And I was just sharing the idea.
And you were like, no, you have to do it.
There's no other option.
You must.
And I was like, OK.
But then it did take us four months.
It did.
That was a while ago.
Here we are.
Four years and four months later.
Yeah.
We just had to find the right partner.
Four years and four score.
That's not it.
Yeah.
The Constitution of Gals was born.
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
Wow.
Beautiful.
Yes, exactly.
So this beautiful idea came from Hada.
And then together with our new microphones, here we are.
With our cute microphones.
With our very cute microphones.
And we even did a little user survey and asked all of our girlies what they would want to
hear about.
And so we, I think, want to tailor our content, of course, to the girlies because that's our
audience.
And so in terms of what to expect moving forward with the podcast and what we're doing,
we're going to try our best to do weekly drops.
I think so.
Perfect.
And I love it.
Love to hear it.
And then if you guys love us so much, like, of course, we'll do more.
But at minimum weekly, you guys have to listen to us.
Yeah.
Once a week, you can hear us yap for a minimum of 15 to 20 minutes.
Because that's exactly what the survey said.
We are data-driven gals here on the podcast.
We really are.
And that just shows a little bit about what we do outside of gals.
Yes.
We're most data-driven.
Yeah.
Look at us with our metrics and surveys and quantitative measures.
So happy to publish survey results if anyone is interested.
So weekly episodes.
And each episode, we will aim to talk about the top moments so that all the girlies know
the top moments, can talk about the top moments with their other girlies that also listen
to the podcast, of course, their boyfriends, their husbands, their guy friends who, and
you guys all, I'm sure, have gone through this, talk about sports all the time and seem
to, like, remember everything about sports that has ever existed in the world of sports.
Like, this is our chance to break into that conversation.
So we'll talk about top moments and we'll talk about rules and guidelines on sports.
So if you don't know what constitutes as offsides in football, like, we got you.
We'll talk about it.
And, of course, never forget, we'll always talk about this too, fashion and gossip, because
everyone loves clothes and hot goss.
And we're here for that too.
Yeah.
And let's be honest.
We're here for the gals, the maybe gays, maybe the gays.
Yeah, gals and gays.
Anyone that would like to know more about sports but not spend 45 minutes listening
to the other sports podcasts that go into too much detail about what happened, the stats,
the numbers, like, we're not here for that.
We're just here to gossip out.
And is that even a thing?
Can you say that?
Gossip out.
I think it should be a thing.
We're here to gossip out.
Yeah.
That's what we're here to do.
Yapp and goss.
That's all we do.
At the end of the day, we're just here to have fun and for you to have fun listening
to us.
Yes.
And hopefully you do.
But it's okay if you don't.
We still love you.
Yeah.
But if you do, then that's what we're here for.
So, any last words that you like to share for the audience to get to know you?
No.
I think we covered it.
I would just say we are not only data driven, we are also very feedback-oriented.
So not only are we sports girlies, we're very corporate girlies.
So, please let us know if there's any feedback.
Share this with your other girlies, the gays, the moms, the dads, the sisters, whoever you
think would benefit.
And yeah, also send us suggestions of what we should talk about.
Maybe we're missing something.
This is a collective, collaborative activity.
Yeah, what do you want to hear?
We'll do the research and all you have to do is listen.
I'll do the research for you and I'll let you know what you need to know about sports.
We got you guys.
Exactly.
Perfect.
So, I guess that's it.
Do we have an outro?
Goodbye from the gals, gal number two.
Goodbye from gal number one.
Goodbye from gal number one and goodbye from gal number two.
Gal number two.
Perfect.
See you next time.
Bye.
I'm so scared to know what the...
