Unsupervised with Syd & TP
Syd Colson and Theresa Plaisance, best friends and former teammates, host a hilariously unpredictable podcast where they veer off-topic into reality TV, conspiracy theories, and unhinged games. They offer surprisingly solid life advice to callers, creating a chaotic but entertaining group-chat vibe.
Episodes
Bushes In Bikinis Are Back Baby
Syd and TP are coming in hot this week with the internet's favorite debate: bush or no bush? Whatever team you're on, you're welcome here.We dive into W Wide Web with a quadruple-overtime thriller and celebrate Hall of Fame inductees Candace Parker and Elena Delle Donne. Then it's time for Reality TP, where Love Island USA and UK are under review. What’s real? What’s manufactured? Do we s
The Best of Unsupervised (So Far)
A compilation of some of our favorite segments on the pod up to this point. From WNBA Queer Baiting, Syd's car running out of gas and getting asked on a date (by a man), standing ten toes down for Megan Thee Stallion, and a warning from Syd's mom... It's been a journey. Let us know in the comments all the moments we missed and we'll see y'all soon! Go back and listen to the featured
Fat Joe, Lean Back So I Can Get My Championship Hat
Lots of absurdity this week, so let’s get into it. Syd found herself on the receiving end of some brutally honest (and hilarious) criticism from her youngest family members and TP had a front-row seat.Then there’s the Knicks. After 53 years without a championship, it turns out building a winning team just takes a little brainpower, entertaining players like Josh Hart, and diehard fans lik
The Dallas Wings Accidentally Joined a Pride Parade?
Cannabis is officially off the WNBA banned substance list... no word on meth yet though. TP recounts an accidental pride parade run in she had with the Dallas Wings.Y’all remember Dearica’s postgame water bottle incident? Well she did some new “slut ass shit” in the words of a hostile gambling addict. If you’re a man relying on sports betting for income, we need you to do some serious sel
WNBA Bench Players Get Punished Twice
Chip and Yams went to see an animal psychic, and apparently Chip had a lot to get off his chest in his old age. Naturally, Syd made things weird almost immediately.In Pride Headlines, we're celebrating some of the LGBTQ+ hoopers making noise, including Jessica Shepard and Emily Engstler leading the charge. In a non-pride moment, we also give a well-deserved shoutout to Megan Gustafson for
Mackenzie Shirilla’s Prison Makeover
We’re back in person ahead of TP’s hissy… but getting here was a JOURNEY. Syd’s airport ADHD was on full display while TP pulled the oldest trick in the book: procrastinating moving her car by tying the laces on her slip-on Vans. The traffic patrol lady had more jokes than patience for Syd and TP’s arrival gate shenanigans.We also talk about The Crash and the overwhelming lack of empathy
It's TP's Birthday and Syd's Gift Is Both Heartfelt And Threatening
It’s TP’s birthday, which means a birthday poem… and somehow Syd makes it terrifying. HBD Mo’Nique!This week we recap weekends spent with the youth: from teenage Babysitters™ to Syd’s great-grandkid’s (aka niece’s) ballet recital and one truly earthquake-inducing fart. And we love kids, but anyone surviving a full day with children deserves a medal, so we’re putting together something spe
WNBA Queerbaiting Scandal
Yamantha made her studio debut today (white people just take their dogs anywhere🙄). You’ll never guess what she has to say to the Babysitters™.This is a W Wide Web episode, meaning it's all things W so let’s get into it: Rookies at the draft said 30 is old-f what they think; TP once called one of Tulsa Shock’s franchise players an "old hag" at 28-don’t sweat it, they’re friends now; Syd a
The Supreme Court’s New MVP is Gerrymandering
Syd and TP have been spending a lot of time with kids, and it’s teaching us all A LOT. A 6-year-old at a bounce house asked an important question for which TP had no answer. Gymnastics resumed. Syd got her biggest wish - another class clown in her family tree. Since y’all can’t let us take a vacation in peace, Syd clears the air on retirement, injury, and where her dream final minute
Imagine Naming Your Kid After the NFL Coach You Had an Affair With
It’s a dating episode… but unfortunately for everyone involved it’s not all warm and fuzzies. From an NFL cheating (and paternity) scandal to our queen Meg Thee Stallion being asked if she can be non-monogamous we’re once asking the question: is any man okay?We have some breaking news out of the WNBA (yes, it involves Brittney Griner doing the splits and no, we’re not over it), before get
#NotAllMen
It’s #NotAllMen… but it’s definitely enough men, and we get into it. Syd ran out of gas in the middle of an intersection in the pouring rain and you’ll never guess who came to the rescue... Yeah a man. Well, men actually, so buckle up for this story. We also watched Trust Me: The False Prophet on Netflix, which would obviously prompt a group chat conversation about who is “most likely to
Nobody Believes You’re a Lesbian on Vacation
We dive into Syd’s solo trip to St. Kitts, the men in her DMs, and how her driver refused to take “I’m a lesbian” as an answer. We also get into the beef between Orange and the Pope—and how, despite everything, it was Trump’s AI Jesus post that really had Catholics losing it. Plus, we relive TP’s draft day moment, then get Down in the DMs to talk about dealing with failure when it smacks
Syd Gives A Better Apology Than Geno | Unsupervised
Nneka O joins to give us the presidential pov of the CBA negotiations, reminisce on her one childhood sleepover, and deny us the opportunity to break her free agency news. We won’t be inviting her back.We dissected Geno’s apology (if that’s what you want to call it.) Nneka unpacks…winning. A yacht party ends in murder…that’s all we’re able to disclose until authorities arrive.Lastly we ta
My WNBA Rookie Salary Was $37,000... Before Taxes
Drumroll please… Alysha Clark and Brianna “Hidden Figures” Turner join us this week to break down what really happened behind-closed-doors during CBA negotiations. 100 hours of in-person meetings, sleep deprivation, hallucinations, piano and more. This wasn’t just about salary bumps. They were fighting for housing, retirement for vets who built the league on $37K salaries, and making
Fully Invested in People We Don’t Know
TP hates on Syd AGAIN for her accomplishments… that negative energy became FUEL. We're launching a brand new segment, People Watching, and you’re going to want to learn about the Asian masc lesbian we found online.People are claiming they get PAID to cause traffic and walk around malls. Is the CIA hiring? Do veteran NPCs work in small groups? How do we apply? DL Hughley’s show remind
Started In New Orleans, Finished At The LA Marathon
Coming to you live from New Orleans after the Irish Italian parade, where we caught everything from cabbages to phallic necklaces and… panties?! Syd also recaps her visit to TP’s house: meeting her dog Chip (way cuter in person), talking hoops with TP’s legendary mom (The Hammond Hammer), surviving a caveman-level shower, and testing her balance on TP’s custom extra-tall toilet.A Florida
What Do WNBA Players and Strippers Have in Common?
We just spent 30 days as roommates at Athletes Unlimited, and TP is only now wearing the “new” jacket Syd got her on day one… smh. This week we’re unpacking everything: the Jim Carrey cloning conspiracy (spoiler: we’re not in the tax bracket to verify), what you’d do if you walked in on a friend doing something truly unhinged in your closet, why everyone should expect everyone in Traitors
We Forgot Kia Nurse’s Birthday, She Rated Us Zero Stars
Imagine your friend starts writing hotel-style reviews every time she comes to your apartment. Cleanliness. Snacks. Host attitude. All of it rated, documented, and saved. For an entire year.That's what happened to us. And this week she came on and read them out loud.We also got into one of the realest debates we've had: if you had inside knowledge on literally everything happening in the
Galentines and An Audio Listener Apology (kind of)
This week on Unsupervised, Syd and TP tackle the big stuff — like how to introduce new foods to Syd (TP is a vet), prompting Syd to wonder if she’s turned TP into the new M3GAN.We recap putt putt, where things get tense after TP reveals the analytics were clearly rigged and she did not love Syd’s over-the-top celebration (read: happily twerking). Envy is ugly, guys. Also, we owe Kia Nurse

Hands Off: Us and Our Hand Towels
After a week of being snowed in together, we have a lot to say, so here goes: we start with light topics like authoritarian policies, ICE being complete losers, and how some people are just now realizing what living under surveillance and fear actually feels like, before making a truly seamless transition into pondering roommate etiquette — like if you have your own en-suite bathroom, is
We Cried. Anyway...
We’re back together in Nashville for Athletes Unlimited! We gotta give love to a league that actually listens to its players (rare!), and then TP opens up about why she’s been off the court for a while. It gets real. It gets emotional. There are tears. From both of us. From our producers. Even the random guy recording the audio. And you.Then we recover the way we know best — by doing what
Pat Don’t Scratch
This week on Unsupervised, TP casually drops that her dad built her a custom toilet for extra-tall people (did not know that was a thing). We also celebrate courtside for some truly excellent post-game behavior, from full tongue action to unusable markers.Then, deep dive into childhood memories of playing 21 and annihilating the neighborhood boys (then having to calm them down by promisin
Syd, TP, and Heated Rivalry
New hobbies? We’re trying (going pro killed our last one). Losing friends? Yup, it’s called growth. Resolutions? Still pretending they matter. We wonder why drunk people aren’t alcohol spokespeople, confirm cold plunges are not for women (science-backed), and then—us, two seasoned lesbians—FINALLY weigh in on Heated Rivalry. YOU have been dying for our take. The tension. The foreplay. The

Sponsors, Super Powers and Southern Rap
This week, we realize our nieces and nephews no longer see us as icons. Syd’s niece interviews her, and things derail the second academics come up. TP’s nephew hypes her as “the best basketball player in the world,” leading another kid to confidently guess LeBron… and then TP walks in.We Freaky Friday it and uncover hypotheticals that absolutely should’ve stayed in TP’s brain. Plus: Syd’s
Passive Aggressive Gratitude
A manicurist learns the hard way that tough-as-nails runs in Syd’s family. TP shares the brutal truth that some people should never touch eyebrows—especially her own.

Inanimate Objects, Real Feelings
We dive into the nitty gritty of cranberry sauce, SNAP benefits, 50-year mortgages (TP does math), and our co-dependent relationships with our favorite inanimate objects. Your water bottle?

First-class problems, White House conspiracy theories, and Syd’s dark past in chat rooms.

Get social with us and let us know what you think!Follow Syd on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sydjc
Happy Halloween Boo!
TP forced a Halloween takeover. This or That: Candy Edition gets real — haunted houses, straight-up bribery, and kid TP proving swagger’s a birthright. Also “Sit your $5 ass down before I make change” = life motto, but if it’s in quarters, slide ’em into the shower with you so TP can’t swipe it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.
Ladies Locker Room Talk
We’re out here mourning the death of MTV music videos because, honestly, they raised us. We also take a moment to educate Stephen A.

Losing Doesn't Turn You Racist
Black women are taking over the US Open, Jelena Ostapenko’s pointing fingers like she’s called the cops on a birdwatcher, and we spiral into a true-crime breakdown of new doc Unknown Numbers (must watch). Plus, in honor of Naomi Osaka’s Labubu-naming trend, we come up with names for our own (very fictional) Labubus. We even turned it into a bet—the loser has to do something embarrassing,

We’re Not Accepting ACL Donations at This Time: Part One
So, since we last talked, the universe decided Syd’s ACL should explode on live TV. Season-ending? Definitely thought-provoking. Maybe everything happens for a reason… or maybe the universe just wanted to hand TP fresh material. Either way, we’re here to make sense of it, crack jokes, and above all, keep moving forward—one step at a time, with one less ACL.See Privacy Policy at https://ar

It’s our first episode—and yes, we’re way more excited than anyone else. We tackle fan questions (because we’re for the people) and recap All-Star Weekend: one week late, half-informed, and way too confident (kinda our brand).
