You should list Becky's books in the description. As an absolutely avid read (who just got back from the library), I'll agree with YA novels. Some are far too simplistic, but others are great for adults.
Sam, as an English Arsenal fan, I’d like to thank you for such a warm, informative and fun podcast. I knew nothing about the NWSL and now I’m invested in it, thanks to your shows. Gotham, and Bay FC (Lyn, Sonnet, Lavelle and my girl Beattie). I will also be rooting for US Olympic team too. Thanks, Sammy. Up the Green!
I giggled throughout this whole episode hehehe. Loved the countdown. Loved hearing about Sam's first coaching experience. Absolutely LOVED the new book segment! I really needed some reccs. :)
Great recap of Vermont Green FC vs FC Laval from your perspective. We had so much fun watching the game with my daughter’s soccer team and are psyched that Barrett Freeman was on the roster. Big save on PK6 by Olivia Dubin! A big welcome to you, our newest Vermonter.
I watched the Vermont Green Match on TH-cam. Super exciting to see . Sam's fit that day made her look like she was 7ft tall ! Now we just need Sam as permanent manager when they launch !
Friday the 13th 😭Hang in there Seattle! Another excellent Good Vibes FC episode. Time really flies with the likes of Sammy and Becky. Did not want this to end at all :(

I coached over 25 years with our youth teams, I can tell you that it will totally consume you with total joy! And you two would be the most amazing coaches!
Thanks for joining the Green. It was a fun game to watch, even though I had to stream it. Tickets were sold out weeks ahead of time! You did a great job coaching. I hope you stay involved so we can get the women’s team permanently established. Burlington loves women’s sports and has a large immigrant community that plays soccer. It would be cool if you got involved with them and got the girls involved - Juba Stars FC. You should also look up how the Burlington high school girls soccer team supported the equal pay push a few years ago. Welcome to Vermont!
The movies chosen in relation to the NWSL standings and the explanations to go along with them were hilarious 😂 The ideas for this show are always so fun!
The NWSL should do a 5v5 game on championship weekend of players from the teams not in the game and have Sam and Krieger be the coaches. That would be so fun.
I was folding clothes while listening to you guys on TH-cam and just when Becky was about to start her book reviews an ad came on...just music and I laughed thinking you'd given her a little musical Segway and then I realised it was just an ad for me to skip...Sooooo....please can we have a music intro...maybe just chimes or a drum roll from Sam...thematic of course...btw...I liked how Becky gave us three different genres. No 1 is on audible! Guess what I m doing while I iron.
Coach Sammy!! Congrats on your gig it sounds like you had a blast - thank you for talking about how difficult coaching is, I’m 23 and coach a high school team after playing my whole life, it’s a really difficult job that I don’t think many realize!
Amen! The first couple of years I coached I'd get home after a game and be more exhausted than I ever was as a player. Officiating isn't easy, but personally I'd rather officiate a big game than coach one!
I was at the Courage game and Ashley Sanchez did not score a brace (though I would have loved to see that for her!). I saw it misreported by the NWSL as well
Hello Sam and Becky. Welcome to England to Becky's mum. If Becky's mum wants to see some English history from the era since George Washington, she could visit the Industrial Museum in Bradford, Five Rise Locks on the canal in Bingley and take a Worth Valley Railway steam train to Haworth where the Bronte family lived. It would give an antidote to all those kings and lords with their fancy Downton Abbey style houses and show what really made England rich - hard work, that later allowed football to flourish as workers became supporters and players.
CORRECTION: The goalscorers for the NC Courage in their game against Chicago were Tyler Lussi, Ashley Sanchez, and Meredith Speck.
Book Talk w/ Becky..... Finally my fav thing happened in the podcast ..

You two always make me smile
Also loved the booktalk!

Love the book suggestions and the good vibes - high five to Becky’s Mum coming here across the pond to enjoy the stately homes, there are LOTS! 👋 🙌🥰

YESSSS! Book recs from the captain!!!! I read “One Dark Window” a few months ago on her recommendation and loved it!
🎉Becky is back🎉 and w/ book recommendations too😮 I 🧡 it here 🤙🏽

Thanks for telling us about the iced maple latte! Again. Ha! had totes forgot! 😊 I am definitely going to try soon!!
Oh and I bought a book on Reeba’s recommendation!
Thank you both for answering my question so thoughtfully!! I really appreciate your perspectives
Excited for book talk!!
Missed thunderstorms big time when I lived in Seattle. Amazing how you crave weather events when they do not happen.

So excited about Book Talk!!!!
Love the book section! Suggesting an add to your list- the show Hell’s Kitchen on 4:23 perfect for NYC Gotham fans!
Sam and Becky should coach together 😂😂
Nice ❤❤❤

This must have been recorded pre-Casey Stoney news breaking. I wonder how that might change (or might not) change your playoff predictions?

Coaching is a lot like playing chess while herding cats during a conference call.
I told you A COACH is born
Becky if you haven’t already read then check out Redshirts by John Scalzi … just can’t put it down
Thoughts on Casey Stoney firing?
what was with the commercials...seemed like one ran for 5 minutes. One commercial froze my phone!!
With Utah Amy Rodriguez is going to TED LASSO this!!!❤
Sammy, Lussi scored against Chicago, not a Sanchez brace
Oh no! Becky! Don't sell Portland short. We lost the first game, the season opener, against KC Current 5-4, not 5-2.
The Wave 😢, before they fired Casey.
