kate w the most dad intro ever: “are we rockin?”

[@BianVignogna]

I burst out laughing everytime Leisha imitates Kate's voice hahaha 😂❤

[@AnaMaria-jl8cw]

hahaha same!

[@lindaanderson8408]

It's so good eh

Re WNBA - what can your audience do? 1. If anyone can afford it, the WNBA league pass is $35-36 2. Tune in to all games - you don’t have to watch them in full but viewing numbers count. If you can’t tune in real time, watch replays. 3. Attend a game if all circumstances allow. Or, purchase tickets for those who do live close by / it’s in your budget. 4. Visit the website for merchandise - purchase it if you can. 5. Click on the pre-post game articles and/or KZbin videos - leave comments. 6. Keep talking about it.

[@ruled_by_pluto]

isn't it crazy how all you have to do to get women interested in something is show us a woman doing it? i randomly bought tickets to my first WNBA game this month. been trying to figure out how to stream games at home. thank u!

[@cr00kedlove]

another great episode! and yes please keep the sibling conversation going! as an only child i’m interested in leishas takes

[@thomasbstudio]

“No! I think that’s a wonderful idea!”. I Love Mary Stories!! ❤😂 Does anyone else Love Leisha’s shirt?

[@NadiiaTsh]

Greetings from Ukraine 💙 You guys make my days better! Thank you for that!

[@KilthaisWildwood]

Pants! Did Kate ever go to the hospital to get her hand checked out? And did Leisha manage to get ahold of Vanessa to get her doll fixed? Inquiring minds need to know... Much from Sicily!

[@mistrock322]

Yes, we need a follow up

[@cindyslavik5391]

Leisha said she did not hear back from the doll girl

[@elizahJ]

No callback from Vanessa, dang it 😢 I would have loved to hear that story 😅

[@pantspodcast]

Kate's hand is doing well! no Dr. needed. And there is more of the Dolls to come . . .

[@KilthaisWildwood]

@@pantspodcast Excellent news!

[@AA-fs4mw]

Ally Sheedy is awesome!!! Yes you need guests once in a while. She was great in that series about a recovering alcoholic daughter. She playd an overbearing mother. Great Actress

[@EMVelez]

I feel like that little figurine was foreshadowing to you (Kate) eventually meeting Leisha. Totally fated friendship! 🌠

[@kleios]

great ep so glad pants is back, would love to hear about y'all's spring break coachella experience in an ep!

[@ravenelder7325]

❤ I knew there was a reason I'm still up at 330 am... You dropped this at the perfect moment.

[@user-md6lp2kg1o]

There nothing better than listening to Katie and Leisha podcast after studying. You are so funny and ambitious. I love soulful pants.

[@DaniiRayne]

My awesome boss left yesterday and I miss him, the office is too quiet and empty... I was expecting a rather gloomy day today, but.. BEHOLD! Pants are here to save the day! I may play this on repeat all day long! ❤❤

[@HeyBuddiesClips]

I agree about the death day. On the anniversary of my dogs death everyone kept messaging to say sorry it’s a hard day. I didn’t even realise it was a year ago. So I was just living my day and healing, and all through the day people kept reminding me of what an earth shattering day that was a year ago. I wanted to forget. 😕

[@doglover44]

The WNBA is awesome! Kate is hilarious, draft?? Offense?? Defense? 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Love you gals❤. I see a ring on Leisha's left hand hmmmmm😊

[@thomasbstudio]

Are they not married, Leisha & Anna? ‘I’m not a sporty gay’- Kate Moennig 😂

[@doglover44]

@@thomasbstudio Kate's married to Ana

[@sookietracey7409]

Watching from Uganda ❤ love you two❤❤

[@eitherorbooks]

Tell Ana and everyone, I went to CSS at the first show in DC and it was so much fun. Lovefoxxx is indeed a hilarious and entertaining front person, up there with the likes of Kathleen Hanna.

[@LeticiaPinheiro121]

Wednesdays are such happy days! Love from Brazil. ❤️

[@gioiamusc]

guys ily - you are literally the highlight of my wednesdays💘💘💘

[@beywatch10]

im so glad she kept us updated about vannessa the doll maker not calling back. i honestly was wondering.

[@LotusMindandbodyFlow]

Love this episode! So happy you’re back 🌈🫶🏼✨

[@cindyslavik5391]

We need dets about The L Word NY. You BOTH have to be a part of it!!

[@SadieFixes]

You guys have an interesting dynamic. I noticed that leisha will often say something provocative or even somewhat critical of a quirk in Kate's personality and Kate will just let it slide off her back. She changes the subject and doesn't take the bait. We can all learn this lesson to not react. One has to wonder about the psychological motivation underneath. Is it insecurity or a desire for retribution for a perceived slight or is it an effort to feel superior or? To Leisha's credit, she usually backs down pretty quickly and doesn't push it. It's interesting too about needing to change your room around when you get bored. It could be boredom or it could be a need to assert control over your environment when you don't feel like you have control elsewhere. It could be stress reduction or it could be an expression of your creativity or a way to seek social validation. Our space is often a reflection of ourselves and we want others to see who we are. It's just interesting to explore the motivations that we have and see what's driving it.

[@Ivilinpl]

Great episode !! And you are so much more chilled in your cool new studio! I love this,

[@pridendprejudc]

it's good to see pants again! i kinda wish renee could be a guest in an ep bc it is kinda chaotic with just you guys so i imagine you + renee rap we'll just laugh the whole episode. also when kate was talking about being teased at basketball and later on leisha talking about being competitive it just reminded me of that L word episode where shane and alice played this hilarious basketball game against papi 😂

[@savy70832]

Just an idea but if you put a corner shelf you could put stuff there without feeling like it’s cluttered. Also love that you guys are back ❤️

[@julloyty]

I LOVED THIS EPISODE, LIKE ALWAYS

[@heather18260]

[@ingridflores]

I'm watching CSS in Porto, Portugal :) super excited!

🙂👍your podcasts are so relaxing and enjoyable.

[@SHADE-sh5mj]

Love you guys ❤❤

[@mybrainismagiccity]

Great episode- you guys need to have fans on or some way for them to ask questions. Maybe a segment once a month - I have no many things I want to ask about your friendship dynamic!!

[@EMVelez]

Love Kate’s outfit here. I need that jacket!

[@user-ye1bg4iu6m]

💓💓OH, It's sooo good to see y'all again. I love the stink out of both of you. (I'm a Lez fr the south, can you tell ?) ❤

[@texasproud3332]

Enjoyed the show the wnba is lack of fan participation both on TV and in person so encourage women to go

[@moodymoonz]

I was also at that LA game! I’m loving the wnba too Also a lot of eye candy 🌈😍

[@leahstumm9662]

Omg! Siblings. I have three older sisters and one younger brother. Lots of stories 💜🤣💜

[@erikalars]

My god ... I have loved Rosie since I was a kid. I will be so happy when she's on!

[@SuChung-ir8ub]

Leisha, I had the same experience with the wnba! Caitlin Clark brought me in and now there are several players I know and like! ❤️🏀

[@autumnxroyale]

You guys should have Shannon Beveridge on! And Shannon should have you two on her podcast 🥰

[@Diane-nd9kd]

Hi Keisha. I think it would great if you went on The Masked singer Kate I think you better get a calendar and a planner

[@elishaalvarado1141]

Need to know where Kate got her necklaces.😩 It’s the perfect stack, so cool.

[@seeyounexttuesday8873]

Love the podcast! Like someone else said regarding the WNBA, people just have to watch more and go to games for their pay to go up. Of course men’s basketball players get paid more because it is wildly more popular. Way more people attend men’s NBA games and buy merchandise. Hopefully now with the hype of Caitlin Clark and people starting to pay more attention they can start to get paid more.

[@andreepun2859]

Could we get Mary on the Podcast ? That would be so interesting!

[@amybarton7193]

I can see that being a hard no from both Mary and Kate lol. Would be a interesting ep though. Xx

[@KathleenStutz]

I love you two ❤️ wonderful human beings. Thank you, Kate and Leisha, for existing in this world. I fell the other day on the sidewalk. Now i have a big bruise on my forehead. My ankle is swollen!! no hospital. I'm sick of hospitals. The Pants Pod 👖 makes me feel better. Thanks for existing the pants 👖 pod forever ❤️ ❤😊😊

[@marianalem6601]

I used to play basketball but was more interested in looking around than.playing 😂 thanks Kate and Leisha ❤

[@jerapahjaya9910]

Am just starting to following WNBA too. Caitlin made me do it, but found the other great players (rookies & veterans) are so good to watch too, not to mention their rivalry dramas! 😅 I enjoy your podcast. ❤ from the island of java.

[@amandakinney2500]

Will Mary be making an appearance on Pants while she's in town?

[@s.medina_kcm45]

I love your podcast so much & I love you both so much but I just have to let you know that in the Short Circuit movies the lead robot is called Number 5 & Johnny 5. I'm not scolding you of course, it's just my OCD annoyance when Kate says 5 alive. Lol! I truly love you both & just had to let you know. I too grew up watching those movies. Thank you for your podcast. I never miss a show. 💞💞

[@CapitalTeaseBurlyQ]

I enjoy how seriously Kate takes snacks

[@dearest-rose1004]

As a smaller person I relate heavily to the basketball thing. Too bad I never grew past 5,2 😂

[@caressagivens7109]

Kate kind of looks like Laurie Metcalf a leeetle beet. Also pants peeps we call that rearranging the living room. It’s customary in our household especially for holidays. And hell yes move that painting!!!!

[@tredfern58]

Love the podcast…. Is the little girl sculpture a Malcolm Moran by any chance🤔 it looks like it ♥️

[@liezlk]

Please get Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe on! They’ll fit right in and can talk about women’s sports with authority

[@GG-ke4no]

the signing things to do for your sibling is so real 😭

[@EmiliaSkade]

13:18 it kinda looks like an Oscar award but better and more artsy

[@missolympiabinewski]

Lauren Kampf would make an interesting guest! She just moved to LA. Doing a video where she teaches you how to be makers would be fun!

[@dartabm1245]

You could get a shelf on the corner next to the "Pants" sign and put the things from the table there, cause that corner looks kind of empty 😅. Idk just an idea.

[@petrinajc]

You all need to attend an Angel City FC game! Y’all live in LA!

[@charaelias6687]

I'm bummed the doll lady did not call back!

[@leahstumm9662]

I’m from Seattle and played all sports. Basketball is awesome! I live in Australia now and they have Netball. Now that’s a hard sport. Check it out. I tried it once. I was told it was like basketball. Not! I almost died. It was so different and hard. 🏀🏀🏀🏀

[@englishjan4484]

Perhaps talk about some Nicole Conn films ... Elena Undone/Raven/More Beautiful .. love to know your thoughts

[@Sundaymagpie]

C’mon…. That statue gave me Alice and the Chart vibes.

[@effieeff3538]

Ally Sheedy as herself in 1997s Highball

[@saranoamark6360]

The color, the couch, the art yes! But kates right that table isn’t working.

[@sonianosfy3915]

Why are Kate and Leisha's voices so low and hot when the video cuts out? what's up??? 😁😆

[@adub-111]

You gals need to watch Sean on hot ones and learn his skills. He asks fresh stuff about little known topics. Dig your random chatter either way!!

[@moto_story77]

Funny, I’ve always thought Leisha and Ally Sheedy look a little alike.

[@serenity4eva89]

Leish is right about siblings. And being the oldest daughter... with a younger brother is about as terrible as it gets. You don't have a sister to hang out with, you don't have a brother to look out for you. You're essentially their other mother who tries to beat the built in coddling (because boys get coddled, specifically the younger ones) out of them but it doesn't work because - surprise - you're not their mother. Hell, Kate was lucky being an only child as far as I am concerned. End of sibling dynamics rant 🤪😂

[@Fluffster007]

What happened to sweat pangs?😁🌈

[@KrystalVonRose]

It’s like the gay gods where listening when I asked I need more wnba content narrated by my favorite gays

[@user-ir3dj6fq3d]

You two are all over the place either your talk, I’m still wondering what the underwear talk was supposed to be ? Lol

[@camhastheham]

Kate, how is your hand doing?

[@laurens9781]

Oh helllll noo if someone took my seat im getting my seat back! Im nice at first of course but the second they don’t move ima bitch 😂

[@pattiargoff3824]

Kate, how’s your hand?

[@melindamcdaniel2479]

Women's basketball is so much better to watch than men's. I enjoy it more, anyway. It seems it could be deemed more challenging for women, and thereby they'd earn more. But I dunno. Just thinking if it's about interest. I have no interest in watching men's at all.

[@biggregmac29]

Welcome back yall ladies look so cool

[@EmiliaSkade]

WMBA getting underpaid sets society back by like a whole century

[@xobat1201]

Leisha =10 Moennig = 3 needs work

[@mistrock322]

Is it possible that women are paid less in the WNBA because they don't bring in as much money as the NBA?

[@gunselshaly537]

These athletes are confronting media bias, gender bias, racial bias, unequal opportunities, unequal funding, etc. and that's all you can say? We all know the NBA is a multi-billion-dollar organization and that the WNBA isn't. They're trying to improve their financial situation with literally every possible hurdle in their way. Surely, SURELY you know that they're more aware than you are.

Can't even imagine the shock little Kate went through when the coach informed her that the right way of shooting is overhead. 🫂
