Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese caused a media frenzy after their infamous “you can’t see me” exchange in the 2023 NCAA championship game. There was a fierce debate over their perceived rivalry and it only intensified once they became the hottest prospects in the WNBA's rookie class. The media’s fixation on their so-called rivalry has been fueled by the same gender and racial bias that has haunted women’s sports for generations. And now that Clark and Reese have brought thousands of new fans to the sport, is it safe to say that this storyline is what the WNBA needed? Or has it invited toxicity into a space that has always prided itself on its inclusivity and sisterhood? In this groundbreaking series, Cari Champion searches for answers from those who know Clark and Reese best – from the coaches who helped shape their game, to the players and journalists who have witnessed their meteoric rise first-hand. Champion traces the incredible parallel paths of not just these two historic talents but the WNBA itself, and sets the stage for the collision course that has brought us to this very moment. The Making of a Rivalry: Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese is not just about two of the brightest flames the sport has ever seen, but it also asks an essential question – in a time of such divisiveness, is it possible to let greatness unite us?

Nikki and Brian are hanging out with comedians Lizzy Cooperman and Sean O’Connor. Nikki knew she loved Lizzy from the moment they met because Lizzy had a messy purse. They all agree that showing your mess is being real. Nikki had an epic night after hearing about Taylor Swift endorsing Kamala Harris. They gave a shoutout to a bestie, sent out positive vibes, and also said it’s cool if she's not feeling it. Sean thinks he needs to get off of antidepressants because he is indifferent about stuff people have feelings over. Lizzy isn’t a fan of being touched, while Nikki knows some guys expect a hello kiss, and she’s not completely grossed out by it. In the Final Thought, one of Sean's most embarrassing moments comes out and it makes for a great joke.

Nikki's hanging out in LA with her crew: Chris Convy, Brian Frange, and Andrew Collin. She's totally vibing with Gracie Abrams’ music. Nikki and Chris spill the tea on their Creative Arts Emmys experience, losing to Dick Van Dyke, handing out awards, and which celeb Nikki and EJ couldn’t resist eavesdropping on. She plays 20 Questions with the guys, and let’s just say it went much better than when she tried on her ‘Girls' Chat’. Nikki is now convinced that getting her nails done is a total waste of time. She’s also curious about seeing a girl who is braless. She got catcalled in her hotel lobby—and the compliment was a first for her but still ick. Nikki and Andrew have a pilates class in their future. They also give their hot take on Max’s Telemarketers. To wrap things up, Nikki shares a heartwarming story about how a Bestie made her night at the Creative Emmys even more amazing.

Who doesn’t love a good sleep-in day? But Nikki’s struggling with some serious guilt about it—how can she get over those feelings? While chilling at the park, Nikki watched a dad and his kid fly a kite and wondered why that’s the last thing she’d ever want to do. Brian found out about EJ and Julie’s river house and why it’s just not Nikki’s vibe. During her run, Nikki had a major lightbulb moment about an upcoming big interview. Brian's dying to know the details, but he’ll have to stay curious for now. Nikki has a question about Football that no one seems to know the answer to. She is on a new app to learn million dollar words. They chatted about Adam Sandler’s Love You and totally vibed with his comedy style. Nikki’s also wondering where all the fashion bloggers went and why it’s so hard to find cute, everyday wear. While returning some stuff and feeling a bit rough around the edges, Nikki tried to win over the sales associate. She and Brian agreed that shopping can be a struggle and finding the right balance with salespeople is a total balancing act.

Plus, Nikki and Brian dive into the brilliance of Dane Cook’s comedy and share a throwback moment with him.
