MCP: WAG Culture, NBA Moves and Her Viral Moments
Dawg TalkMentioned in this episode
Episode Notes
KCP’s viral Halloween costume twin is in the building.
We’re back with another episode of Dawg Talk and this one is special. J Mac and KCP are live from Memphis with a highly requested guest: KCP’s wife, McKenzie Caldwell-Pope (MCP).
Fresh off “breaking the internet” dressed up as her favorite player (yes, she pulled up as KCP head to toe, beard and all),
McKenzie sits down to talk about:
- Going viral on Halloween and ending up on SportsCenter
- Life as an NBA wife and mom of five
- How she keeps her home, husband, kids, and schedule running like a whole corporation
- The truth about WAG culture, comparison, and reality TV vs real life
- Juggling long-distance while KCP plays in Memphis and the family stays in Orlando
- The pros and cons of dating an athlete, missing holidays, and learning to create new traditions
- Why she changed her to-do list into an “intentions list”
- How she finds herself outside of being “KCP’s wife”
- Her fashion background, game day tunnel looks, and styling inspo
- The story behind her old IG Live show “Sipin Style” and if it is coming back
- Future family plans, vow renewal dreams, and if Kendall is really getting that little sister
If you rock with family, faith, fashion, and real conversations about what this life is actually like behind the highlight reels, you are going to love this episode.
