For their first (of hopefully many) podcast double dates, Abby and Glennon sit down with the icons, activists, and Olympians Megan Rapinoe and Sue Bird. In this honest and hilarious conversation, we find out:

1. The delightfully awkward moment Megan and Sue first met;

2. What’s hard for each of them right now;

3. The boundaries they’re working on together;

4. How they communicate and deal with jealousy; and

5. How they help each other show up in the world as champions for change.
