Why The Las Vegas Aces Deserve Better Than Hot Takes

A $10 million bet sounds like fun until you hear what it’s really saying. We break down the viral claim that the Las Vegas Aces could be beaten by a high school boys basketball team, why that “debate” keeps getting oxygen, and how it turns elite women’s basketball into a shortcut for clicks. If you’re a real WNBA fan, you already know how wild that framing is and we say it with our chest: put respect on the league and on A’ja Wilson.

From there we get into the bigger WNBA conversation sports media keeps dodging. Is the face of the league the best player, or the player who brings the most attention? We go back and forth on A’ja Wilson versus Caitlin Clark, including how rivalries, race, and storylines shape what casual fans see. Then we zoom out to the NBA and ask a question that’s harder than it sounds right now: who is the face of the league in 2026, and does being the best even matter for that title?

We also switch gears into classic Mixed Vibes territory: podcasting as a hobby versus a hustle after hearing a take about “self-funded podcasts,” a quick argument about sunglasses indoors and the energy it gives off, plus a ranking of Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Big Sean, J. Cole, and Wale concerts with some painfully accurate fan stereotypes. We close with a raw story about heartbreak, bad decisions, and learning the hard way.

If you rock with the pod, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a rating and review so more people can find us. What’s your take: A’ja or Caitlin as the face of the WNBA?

Welcome Back And Quick Catch-Up

SPEAKER_03 0:02

What's going on, people? Y'all know what time it is, another episode of the Mixed Vibes Podcast, your favorite amateur podcast. You can find us where we get your podcast, mom. I'm your boy Young Quaggy T the Dream.

SPEAKER_02 0:13

Man, you already know the badge your boy, Mr. Bell, aka man. I can't say your name is on the spot. Might not with you tomorrow. Shout out to Jerry. It's like a little bonus episode for y'all. A little extra time. You feel me? What's up, Clay?

SPEAKER_03 0:25

Hey man, you know the vibes. Here and there, there and here.

SPEAKER_02 0:31

A little bit of everywhere.

unknown 0:33

Man.

SPEAKER_03 0:35

Trying to chill. Keep my head on the swivel.

SPEAKER_01 0:40

Nah, I feel it, I feel it.

SPEAKER_02 0:42

Uh let's start her.

The Aces Bet And The Backlash

SPEAKER_02 0:49

Your Glace Sharps. I ain't even gonna say your boy, because that's fucked up.

SPEAKER_03 0:52

Yeah, I don't even know what it is.

SPEAKER_02 0:54

You like, I don't even for a bot, bro. Who is that? So nah, Glace Sharps, he owns Al Kit, which is like a, from my perspective, and I could be wrong, is a right wing leaning. They talk about sports, but they talk about the stuff around sports, not necessarily the sports that's on the field or on the court. He said he'll pay the Las Vegas, Las Vegas Aces $10 million if they play, if they play and beat a high school boys basketball team. A high school boys basketball. These are raw women. And this is what this man said. Like, you know, I seen them all our kid gotta seen some of the stuff they post. That's neither here nor there. Right. They they also got uh Whitlock, Jason Whitlock. You know, him and Stephen A got into it not too long ago. Whitlock just be saying a bunch of stuff.

SPEAKER_03 1:57

And then they peeped him up.

SPEAKER_02 1:59

Yeah, that's that's where he at. So he that's where it's you know, that's what they do over there, say a bunch of stuff. But and I don't know if it's because um I'm I I'm gonna say this as a fan of the WNBA. Put some respect on that woman's name. A high school boys team. You ain't say college, you didn't say the worst, you didn't say the worst team in a uh in the SEC or the ACC, you went to a high school boys basketball team. Asia Wilson puts up incredible numbers every year. Every year she continuously gets better. Like she continues to win MVP of that league because of the simple fact. How great she is, and then she approves on that year after year. To say that a high school boys' basketball team is gonna beat them is the dumbest shit that people be saying. I like it's like right now people use WNBA clicks, but they ain't using it for clicks as far as the actual stuff that goes on on the court. They use the WNBA for clicks just to get some attention. Whether it is people using Kate McClark for the racist stuff, if Sophie Cunningham and the transgender stuff, if it's people hate no people or hate no queers and gay people, then it's this. Like, nah, them them women ain't real sports because they can't be the high school boys. Like, bro, what are we talking about? Bro, if you ain't gonna watch the game, if you ain't gonna watch the stuff, ooh, shut the fuck up. Like I don't even think that's a I don't even think that's too much to I don't think it's too much to ask. If you ain't watched more than try games this season, why you saying that a high school basketball boy seems to beat these women? You like you ain't even watched try games this year, you don't even know what they're capable of. So how you gonna so how you gonna say somebody can beat deal? You ain't never you ain't watching them.

SPEAKER_03 4:04

All right, play Travis, what are we doing? Like I I I understand, you know, you gotta you gotta show the a show the self. I understand that. This is not how you do it. I mean, I guess this is how you do it. Put some respect on their name, man. Asia Wilson alone, even though, you know, she she's nominating a league, you know, she's cold. The coldest. A high school boy, now I ain't I ain't gonna say I'm playing devil's advocate, but do you think there is a high school team, boys' basketball team that could hang?

SPEAKER_01 4:49

Hell no.

SPEAKER_03 4:53

Like, I'm saying the best high school basketball team in the country. You don't think they could hang?

SPEAKER_02 4:58

Hell no. It's grow-ass women. That's that's been playing this game as long as the majority of them dudes been a high school.

SPEAKER_03 5:08

Man, they might have a Zeke cross, you never know.

SPEAKER_02 5:14

A high school boy's team, bro.

unknown 5:18

No.

SPEAKER_03 5:18

Like I look, like I said, he didn't even say, like, I wouldn't respect it, like you said, a college team, like maybe a maybe a Notre Dame.

SPEAKER_02 5:32

That's what I'm saying, bro. If he had to say, like, let's say the national championship, national champions of last year, I think that's more of a realistic conversation, right? Because those are more developed, those are young men at this point. Some of them have been around school for six years. So it was young men. So then you are looking at the physical traits of a more of a men compared to a group of women.

SPEAKER_03 5:59

But a more competitive matchup, too.

SPEAKER_02 6:02

Yeah, a high school team? Are you wisdom go down there and cook? Right again. What I say, pre-five, Asian Wilson ain't even playing, they still don't win. Because they got Chelsea great, they got Jackie Young. Jackie Young just put up a triple double couple nice cut.

SPEAKER_03 6:16

Like, don't forget what I said. They got Becky. Becky will suit up on them.

SPEAKER_02 6:22

Becky's gonna come in and be coaching and playing. Becky probably, I don't even know how old Becky is, probably 40 something years old. Don't get them young boys to work.

SPEAKER_03 6:34

You yeah, no, no, no. Disrespectful. Like, if you gonna if you're gonna say that, hey, I'm setting up a uh a game between the aces and the Washington, well, I guess they good now.

SPEAKER_02 6:47

Uh watch the hood.

unknown 6:49

What?

SPEAKER_02 6:50

Don't give me starting on the wizard. We all know what the wizard is.

SPEAKER_03 6:54

The Charlotte Bobcats. I mean the the Charlotte Hornets. They just lost mellow. That that that's that's pretty much even. That's that's the evening. I give you 10 minutes, and it's the thing, man. The fucked up part about it is they need the money. They don't need the money, but they need the money.

SPEAKER_02 7:19

See, that's the thing. One, they will never do it because it's disrespectful to them and it's beneath them. But is it you asking me to as a as a professional?

SPEAKER_03 7:35

No, no, no.

SPEAKER_02 7:36

Hear me out. Them women as professionals, you don't think they're gonna take it as disrespectful if we gonna, we gotta, yeah, I think we not capable of beating the high school team?

SPEAKER_03 7:46

No, definitely take it as disrespect because it is disrespect. But on the flip side, that 10 million, I don't, bro, does the entire roster even make 10 million?

SPEAKER_01 7:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 8:00

Well, I guess they the best team, so yeah, they should okay.

SPEAKER_02 8:05

One, it's that for that, all of them got to pay increases.

SPEAKER_03 8:10

Oh, so what the best what what what age you make? Did she make 10?

SPEAKER_02 8:18

Let me see. Current contract to do she, well, over over the life of the deal.

SPEAKER_03 8:34

Asia Wilson.

SPEAKER_02 8:35

Over the life of the deal, she makes five million dollars. It's a three-year deal. That's why people in the comments was like, that's more than they, that's more than they ever gonna make.

SPEAKER_03 8:56

Hey, bro, that's the crazy part. They need this money, bro. I'd go out there and I would put up 200 on them niggas, bro. Hey, pay me. Low-key let's sweeten a deal. We need 10 million each. I need you to break bed. I need you to break bread, buddy.

SPEAKER_02 9:15

I was getting right, say. Now, if it's like 10 million each, they probably go out there and do it just so they can get it, so it's easy money for them. But then again, I still don't think they can do it because in fact it is like the ultimate, it's like a slap in the face. Like, we grown ass women in our professional league. You think we can't be some high school boys? You know what I mean? All it takes is five.

SPEAKER_03 9:39

We'll be the glow, we'll be the glove tryers out there, boy. I'm telling you, and low key, look, if you need a six, I'll play Jawan Man. I got you.

SPEAKER_02 9:53

Sir, I ain't wait. I'm gonna ask you.

Respect For WNBA Talent Versus Clicks

SPEAKER_02 10:00

Do you feel like the WNBA is getting respect that they deserve for basketball? Now take away what Clay Charvis said. Well, not take away, because of stuff like Clay Charvis's, what he's saying. You think they get respect for what their abilities on the court or do people still just laugh them off? Because they win.

SPEAKER_03 10:26

I think they they do still get laughed off, but I think it is now like uh a major sport. I think it it is now, it has reached that realm of I don't want to say it's as far as what I can see, it gets more coverage than baseball. Now, while it ain't always good coverage, it's always it's always the antics that get covered. But now you getting covered. The problem was you wasn't getting covered before. Then you was then the over coverage with with all the with all this, because I swear every time somebody has a good game, it's a notification.

SPEAKER_02 11:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 11:14

But now it's just antics. And I mean you ask for coverage, you just you gotta be careful what you wish for.

SPEAKER_02 11:27

I was gonna say, but this ain't the coverage they asked for. They asked for cover, they asked for coverage of their abilities on the court. The coverage that the WE NBA is getting is everything but their abilities and what they do on the court for the most part.

SPEAKER_03 11:39

Except V-Bounds. She the only one.

SPEAKER_02 11:43

Yeah, bro. I won't forget, bro.

SPEAKER_03 11:44

We gotta talk about that.

SPEAKER_02 11:45

What was what was that about? You see, you saw it? I saw that you posted me bounds, and I was like, that ain't nothing but about one person. What was this about? You didn't see the shot? Nah.

SPEAKER_03 12:01

She she threw it up over her head and it hit the corner of the backboard, and then she ran and grabbed the reye.

SPEAKER_02 12:11

Yeah, break down the play, though. Was something going on? Was it like an in the shot clock situation? When she thought she was getting fouled.

SPEAKER_03 12:18

She it was uh she was trying to sell the foul, bro. She was trying to sell the foul, but she threw it, like I said, she threw it over her over her shoulder at the corner of the backboard. She looked around, ran and ground, me get ball.

SPEAKER_02 12:36

So she thinks she's about to get two free throws, though.

SPEAKER_03 12:39

Everybody else thought she was finna get two free throws, and then she didn't hear the whistle. Me get ball. Hey, but you know what they say? Play to the whistle. Hey, bro, she's she and somebody was trashing her in the in the tweet, talking about, you know, I hate that we can't be honest about this. I said, nah, bro. We we honest about it. We honest about it, bro. She's, I'm not saying she she ain't good, but what I'm saying is I know when a pretty girl, when a pretty tall girl just wants to play basketball, I done seen that before.

unknown 13:19

Alright.

SPEAKER_02 13:20

Oh. I think I think it's better than it was. But I still think we got a long way to go. But you did bring up an interesting point that I had I didn't think about. But I guess it's the WNBA gets more coverage than baseball. I think they give more, I think it's not only the other stuff surrounding the league, but actually on the court stuff. I think you heard more about that stuff than you heard about baseball. But I think the hard thing with baseball is brother season so damn long. They play 160 some games. So it kind of drowns itself out because they've been playing for so long. It's like you get excited for opening day, then you don't get excited against the playoffs.

SPEAKER_03 14:10

I feel like being the season almost over with.

SPEAKER_02 14:13

Well, you know what I mean? I just feel like I think that's the issue with baseball is for like to get the you know, world renowned coverage, or not to say world renowned, but to get the national attention or get your every your casual fans' attention. But the season's so long, bro. Like it started what, April? And then goes to October. Well the hell, the World Series is over in November. And then they play every single day, so it's kind of easier to drown them out. As a word, the other, in comparison to WNBA, it feels more like a spring instead of you know going on. But I don't know, man. Just a recap, he couldn't say an SEC school. He couldn't say an ACC school, he went to a high school boys' team. To me, that's kind of wild. I'ma stay right here for a minute.

Who Is The Face Of The WNBA

SPEAKER_02 15:17

The face of the WNBA, we would say it's Aja Wilson, right? Or is it Kaitlin? It's Aja Wilson because he's the best player.

SPEAKER_03 15:29

Uh I I'm just surprised that you don't think it's Caitlin.

SPEAKER_02 15:33

I think No, I think the face is I think the face is Asia.

SPEAKER_03 15:41

Asia is Asia is A-face. Caitlin is D-Face.

SPEAKER_02 15:46

Okay. Why do you say she's B-face?

SPEAKER_03 15:49

Brad. This all started with her. Honestly, if Kaylin Clark wasn't in the WNBA, would we still, I don't think we would still be talking about the WNBA. You know, we'd be talking about Asia Wilson.

SPEAKER_01 16:06

That's all the point.

SPEAKER_02 16:09

Okay. So you think Caitlin Clark brings attention to the entire game?

SPEAKER_03 16:14

She brought the attention. She doesn't, I mean, it it came because of her. I mean, it's well, why say like this? It stayed because of her.

SPEAKER_02 16:25

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 16:26

As long as she's in the game, I I think it's always gonna be it's eyes on the game, it's gonna be the maxtra eyes on because she's here. This is her, this is her league, so to speak.

SPEAKER_02 16:41

Okay. I think the thing I was I think you're right. I think Kate McClure, as far as why the eyes is there, but I also feel like the eyes is also there because of race, because of something that she had the angel Reese counterpart.

SPEAKER_03 16:56

It's the Jordan Magic Michael thing.

SPEAKER_02 17:00

I was about to say, yeah, uh, a magic and bird.

SPEAKER_03 17:04

Yeah, magic bird and Michael.

SPEAKER_02 17:06

Now I think Michael was younger than him. He ain't come, he ain't come into league to like he didn't, but eight years after, like I can say it's eight years after.

SPEAKER_03 17:18

That's the thing. She's like, it's like Asia's Asia is Mike, but she's older than him. So she she she really careen.

SPEAKER_02 17:28

I was gonna say she's oh she's really Kareem.

SPEAKER_03 17:30

She's Kareem. And then you got, well, it really is just it's really just bird over there. She, you know, magic, magic here, but I get what you said.

SPEAKER_02 17:46

Look, I'm gonna let we go, we go, we're gonna move. Because I'll look I can't throw no shade on uh what's what's her name? What they call her?

SPEAKER_03 17:54

I hate to throw shade on it because you know I I love to see her do her thing, win all them DT awards and whatnot. But what are we doing?

SPEAKER_02 18:09

Okay, you say Caitlin is the face, Asia is a face, Caitlin.

SPEAKER_03 18:15

She's a face, but you know, like I said, they they can't they came. Half these people wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Caitlin.

SPEAKER_02 18:25

So I asked that to ask this.

Who Is The Face Of The NBA

SPEAKER_02 18:27

So who's the face of the NBA?

SPEAKER_03 18:33

Uh I don't know if there, I don't know if there is one. I mean, there there is, but I don't know if it's if it is.

SPEAKER_02 18:44

Okay. It popped in my head as we was talking about the WNBA. Okay, cool. But who's the face of the NBA? Because LeBron? I was getting ready to say, is it still the old heads of LeBron and uh stealth? No shame to KD, but I don't think KD was ever the face of the NBA. He was one of those like Asian situations, a face.

SPEAKER_03 19:05

He was a face, yeah. Because I'm about to say I still know people that's fans because of KD, but it ain't it ain't the same as LeBron fans, the Steph fans. You you know a Braun fan. You know a you know a stealth fan. You know, the younger generation is the Steph fans, but you know a Braun fan. I don't really know too many KD fans. They don't they don't really pop out like that no more. Yeah, they they not wherever he at.

SPEAKER_02 19:33

So I don't. And I ask that because, like you said, you got the old heads of LeBron and Steph, but then the younger guards. Okay, well, let me not go to the younger, yeah. Let me go to Joker and Giannis, because they like right there in the middle. Neither one of them feels like the face of the league. Joker feels like probably, in my opinion, probably the best player in the league right now, or second best, but neither one of them feels like the face of the league. Then you go to the younger dudes of Shay and Anthony Elwards and Big Vig. They don't, none of them feel like the face. And I think part of it with Shay and Vig and Joker to extend, well, y'all understood, they all foreigners. So I don't know if they could really hold them back from being the face of the league or what the case may be, but I'm I'm sitting here trying to think. I don't know who the face of the NBA is at this point. Because normally it's the best player. Okay, it's players, and I don't think they can either one of them's face.

SPEAKER_03 20:39

Yeah, I don't think people really get behind foreign players like that for real. Like, they got fans, yes, but I feel like it's more of the teams they own. Because you think they all in those those those small markets. OKC, Denver, what's the other one? Uh Milwaukee. Well, he's in he's in Miami now. That's that's a that's a different vibe, though, because Miami got fans.

SPEAKER_02 21:15

Yeah. The Heatles had fans. I don't think the Heat the Miami Heat had fans. I think that's two different fans. I think D. Way, Chris Bros.

SPEAKER_03 21:23

Oh yeah, I forgot about I forgot about that. That was a thing, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 21:28

Because I don't even think people's really like me and Dion, we were the we were Dwayne Wade fans. But it wasn't like we, you know, people jumped to the Miami Heat bandwagon after they won a championship with uh Dwayne Wade and Shaq and all the other old heads. I don't think people really jumped on the Heat bandwagon. U they jumped on the Heat bandwagon when the Eatles got together. And then I feel like once the Eatles broke up, then everybody went wherever he at.

SPEAKER_03 22:00

Or they just become casual fans or they start hate. Wherever, yeah, whatever, wherever you was at before them.

SPEAKER_02 22:07

Yeah. So I don't feel so I don't like nah, yeah. I don't think Yannis beat in Miami's gonna make that big of a difference for them. Especially because then the other thing is I don't think teams are gonna be that great either. I think they'd be good, but I don't think they're gonna be that great. So yeah, I don't I guess the answer to the question is, is LeBron still the face of the league? And I have to say, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 22:29

Yeah, I think he it, if anything, he's leading the pack. Him and then depending on how Steph go, if Steph, if the Warriors are good, you know, that face may shine a little bright, but if the Warriors are bad, and I feel like it's kind of on this team that he's on, it's gonna be hard for LeBron to be the face of the league. Yeah, he's gonna have a lot of attention on him, but the face of the league on a team where you you might be the third best player, but you know, you given a a C plus third? I think I think Joel is still better than LeBron at this point.

SPEAKER_02 23:19

Okay. Who's the other?

SPEAKER_03 23:21

Or can be can be better than LeBron.

SPEAKER_02 23:24

JB? Okay. So you don't think Tyrese Max is better than LeBron at this point? That's why I said I think LeBron might be fourth.

SPEAKER_03 23:34

I think Tyrese had to do a lot because it was him and you know whoever else was out there. It was a lot of it was a lot of Tyrese out there playing by himself. By himself.

SPEAKER_02 23:48

Okay, I can see that. Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_03 23:51

I'm not saying he's he's he's bad, but I'm saying he had to do a lot of stuff that he did.

SPEAKER_02 23:56

Kind of like what Jay LeBron had to do last year with seven.

SPEAKER_03 23:59

Yeah, him taking a step back should be a natural thing because you play with PG. You um PG, you play with Joel. You play with Joel and B. You play for some games. I'm saying, bruh, podcast P.

SPEAKER_02 24:22

Podcast P, but I always think you get a podcast because I used to watch it. I ain't seen one pop up and do it. Low key, bruh. I wouldn't come back and do it either. I would, because that's your next career. You gotta go ahead and regardless. You gotta get that, get them church.

SPEAKER_03 24:36

No, no, no, no, bruh. You shed tears, bruh. You let that get to you. You shed tears on national television. No, bruh. I'm I'm done with the I ain't gonna

Self-Funded Podcasts And Hustling Backwards

SPEAKER_03 24:53

hold you. Uh look, I'm gonna keep it a being with you. We both listen to a podcast, and Bruh said something about self-funding podcasts. I ain't gonna hold you. I was ready to quit right there.

SPEAKER_02 25:06

Hey, bro, I was wondering if you had listened to that pod.

SPEAKER_03 25:09

I was ready to quit right then. I said, well, we what we not gonna do is throw shade. And he said, you know, a self, he said, a home studio, I respect it. I said, you know what? I appreciate you. I'm glad you had to clear that up. I'm glad you had to clean it up because it was gonna be raps.

SPEAKER_02 25:26

Okay, let's let's let's talk about let's talk about what we said. So we were ages in the dark. So we look, we mean you both listen to Bombani Jones podcast. And Bombani talked about he compared people who play like how can I say it? I don't even know if I'm gonna call it minor league football, but you know.

SPEAKER_03 25:47

Oh, oh, the the the the 40, uh, what was it, 40U? Yeah, 40U, whatever it was. Basically.

SPEAKER_02 25:55

35 and you people who play football. Oh, people, right? People who got day jobs who play football. He compare them people to people who do uh self-funded podcasts. He was like, Man, y'all wanna come up? But Mike was like, Y'all won't do what I do, and I get paid for it, and y'all doing it for the free, and y'all self-funding? And even though he said, Man, I can't, I wouldn't do it. And I was wondering, did you listen to it? Because I was like, Well, they're gonna be like, yeah, nah, bruh. But see, how I looked at it was like, first of all, we ain't out here running studios.

SPEAKER_03 26:28

And that was the part that that cleaned it up for me. When he said that type of self-funding, you know, like people going like this is a a music industry.

SPEAKER_02 26:39

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nah, see, I was like, me, I I can't, hey, right, when I heard that, I kind of said, all right, hold on.

unknown 26:47

Wait a minute.

SPEAKER_02 26:48

Who I but I started looking at myself in the mirror. I'm driving on anyway, and I pulled the old thing that's.

SPEAKER_03 26:53

Are we hustling backwards?

SPEAKER_02 26:55

Or are we hustling backwards? Are we doing this wrong? But at the same time, I looked at it like I do it for the fun of it. I don't do it, you know, for no other reason besides that. More come up and then cool. But yeah, I don't know, my boy. It did make me look in the mirror a little bit too. I ain't even gonna hold you.

SPEAKER_03 27:19

But then it was finna be Reynolds Raps, I'm telling you.

SPEAKER_02 27:22

But then, like you said, that's what, but I don't I ain't spending for $100 on the studio.

SPEAKER_03 27:30

You can get neighbors. I like neighbors, but but other than that, it's like I'm really just gonna be sitting here for real. And that's just me with cold. Like I like cold, but I want to hear cold, you know. I turn that on in the car. That's just that's for me. I don't want to enjoy cold with a bunch of people. Then it then it then it kind of feels different. This don't this don't feel how it's supposed to feel.

SPEAKER_02 34:40

Uh I mean I was gonna say, I think Cole is your middle, I think Cole's fans are your like middle class or, you know, maybe I was gonna say, yeah, your middle class Americans. Some of them went to college, walking around on college campuses, they got a little college education on them, or whatever the case may be. Who go to work every day, who just be chilling, manning their own business. I think that's what that's what Cole fans remind me of. Engine friends remind me of people who engine friends remind me of, you know, like liking to watch anime, which ain't nothing wrong with it.

SPEAKER_03 35:30

But the anime is that's cra that's crazy.
