It's been a busy, sports-filled few weeks for RaLene and Emily! Between the start of the WNBA season and a trip to Southern California, they've been to lots of stadiums to cheer on their teams — and realized they have both a lot and little in common with their fellow fans. The duo talks about some of the pros and cons of the average lesbian fan experience.

Emily and RaLene pick right up where they left off last episode, going through Rounds 2 and 3 before crowing the best mascot in the WNBA. Hop on their delirium-riddled rollercoaster ride to find out which mascot would taste most like a Spindrift, who's serving the most face, and most importantly, who walks away as sole survivor.

When last week's episode took an interesting segue into the wild world of mascots, Emily and RaLene were left with more questions than answers — why is everyone obsessed with Ellie the Elephant? What makes Freddy Fever so...diabolical? And what happens to mascots when their franchises bite the dust? Paired with the hankering for bracketology the two have had since March, and a brilliant idea was born: Mascot Madness, Hunger Games-style.

That's right. We made a ⁠⁠bracket⁠⁠ pitting the WNBA's mascots against each other. Today, Emily and RaLene go through the play-in tournament and Round 1 to see which mascots are moving on to the next level of competition. Stay tuned for Part 2 next week!

RaLene and Emily dive into why they love sports and how their paths turned them into the women's sports fans they are today. They talk about their first crushes on athletes, formative sports moments, and the elusive nature of Sue Bird Court. Take it from them: all roads lead to women's fandom!
