This week, Jessie joins me from her World Cup vacation in New Zealand to go over all of the latest news in women's sports this week, including Coco Gauff's biggest title to date, the Liberty's thrashing of the Aces, and more!

Then, Maggie Hendricks of Bally Sports joins to discuss how we could (or if we should?) improve the WNBA trade deadline (15:20) and her weekend watching Simone Biles and Suni Lee at the Core Hydration Classic in Chicago (23:23).

Finally, Jonathan Tannenwald from the Philadelphia Enquirer calls in from Melbourne to discuss what went wrong with the USWNT at this World Cup and what needs to be fixed so this never happens again (41:00).
