About the episode

This week, Megan and Sue sit down for an insightful conversation with Claressa Shields, arguably the greatest female boxer of all time, and subject of the inspirational biopic “The Fire Inside.” They, along with the film's director Rachel Morrison, chat about Claressa’s journey to win an Olympic gold medal, her amazing resilience, and her steadfast desire for the film to reflect “the real” of her life story. In SCBVCOTW, Sue shares her thoughts on the Notre Dame vs. UConn game and shares a snippet of WNBA history. Plus, she and Megan respond to a YouTube comment request for a #VibeCheck on Michigan State. Megan and Sue also discuss Caitlin Clark being named Time magazine’s “Athlete of the Year” and why there’s been such a mixed response to Caitlin’s comments around white privilege. Lastly, Megan and Sue will give A Touch More of their thoughts around their final episode of 2024. Happy Holidays!
