My vote for this 31 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: one is Yukon women's basketball Back on Top. I remember 32 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: the nerves that we had throughout the tournament about whether 33 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: Paige Beckers could be considered the most talented player Yukon 34 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: has had that will never win a title. It feels 35 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: sort of like duh at this point, But there were 36 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: moments throughout the season where we weren't sure who was 37 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: going to win it all, and it was really nice 38 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: to see Page and Asy and Gino and all of 39 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: that team get to celebrate. 40 00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 2: So I'm going Yukon back on Top. 41 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 3: I am going to pick the Minnesota Frost winning the 42 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 3: PWHL title. For a second year in a row. And 43 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 3: the reason I went with them is one, winning it 44 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 3: out of fourth place again is wild. And then also 45 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 3: all four games of the p WHL finals against Ottawa 46 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 3: went to overtime, including one that went to triple overtime. 47 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 3: And if they give us that much free hockey, I 48 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 3: think we have to reward it with this award. 49 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 2: Fair, very fair. 50 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: The people Slice went with the Las Vegas Aces, battling 51 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: back from their bad start to win the WNBA title 52 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 1: and speaking of a team that gave us more than 53 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,399 Speaker 1: we ever could have asked for, the parade fits the pettiness, 54 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: the celebrations after they proved that they were not in 55 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: fact down and done. 56 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 2: So. The Aces another good nominee, and. 57 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 3: I think it just speaks to what a strong year 58 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 3: it was for women's sports that the Aces are kind 59 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 3: of number three in this at least for the two 60 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 3: of us. 61 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 1: Maybe we'll see what the Slices say about it, all right. 62 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: The next award, the Billy go Award for Athlete of 63 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: the Year, spelled of course b I llie in honor 64 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 1: of Billy Jean King, last year's winner for Athlete of 65 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: the Year, Simone Biles. 66 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 2: My pick for this year.

This was Asia Wilson's year, not just on 74 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: the court, but off the court, with her finally going 75 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: public with her relationship with Bam, feasting on all the 76 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: social content, her a one shoe release, all the shows 77 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: she's just been on. It just feels like a no 78 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: brainer to me. 79 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 3: There's still one more show she has to come on, 80 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 3: but you know we'll see that in twenty twenty six. 81 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 2: That is so true. 82 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 3: My pick for this award is the Kansas City Currents 83 00:03:55,600 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 3: Temwatchwinga winning her second straight MVP, Leadingansas City to the 84 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 3: fastest shield in NWSL history.

And I think just one moment 89 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 3: of joy I want to highlight was that header goal 90 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 3: that she scored a day after making a deal with 91 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 3: Black co In Andofski, Kansas City's coach, and just seeing 92 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 3: her run straight to him and give him this huge 93 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 3: hug just warm my heart in a really fantastic way. 94 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: A very deserving nominee as well as is the People's 95 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: Slice nominee Paige Beckers, who led Yukon to its first 96 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 1: NCAA title since twenty sixteen, then went straight to the 97 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: Dallas Wings, where she earned WNBA Rookie of the Year 98 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: honors and then landed a spot in the Team. 99 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 2: USA training camp. 100 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: That is a hell of a year for a player, 101 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 1: and I think it's wonderful to see her have this 102 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: continued success after success when we had that long stretch 103 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 1: of injury that really kept us from seeing her at 104 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: her peak. When you've got Diana Trossi saying that you 105 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: believe she might end up being the greatest player in 106 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: the history of the WNBA, that's a pretty ringing endorsement 107 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: for someone in her first season. 108 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 2: We also could have gone with. 109 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: Marie Felipe Pulin, who won the other actual Billy Jean 110 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: King Award, the MVP Award in the PWHL Alyssa Lu 111 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: who had this incredible comeback and we're excited to see 112 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 1: hopefully in Milan Courtina. But we're gonna stick with those 113 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: three for now. And you, of course always have your 114 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: writings slices.

So good. 119 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: I'm sure we could have nominated Sid once again this year, 120 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 1: but I'm going to change it up and I gotta 121 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: go with the stud buds. Their twenty four hour stream 122 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 1: at the All Star Weekend was the stuff of legend. 123 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: You got Kathy Engelbert dancing to knock if you buck. 124 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: You got Necho Gumkay walking in on the stream telling 125 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: them to get their asses to the CBA meeting. You 126 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 1: had athletes maybe potentially accidentally outing themselves at others. 127 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 2: It was wild, is all I have to say. 128 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: And I don't know if it was all trolling, but 129 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 1: certainly there were moments throughout the twenty four hour stream 130 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: and just in the existence of the stud buds that 131 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 1: you can absolutely consider trolling. 132 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 3: Oh, I love that so good my pick for this, 133 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 3: And I have to say, Sarah, I really struggled coming 134 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 3: up with a nominee for this, so much so that 135 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 3: my old RESEARCHERR brain came out and I was going 136 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 3: through text messages searching in my scent message history for 137 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 3: ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, because I am 138 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 3: subbing no this way. When I do a lot of 139 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 3: pause in a row, it means it's really funny. And 140 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 3: so I wanted to find the things this year that 141 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 3: were really funny. And so I was going back through 142 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 3: my group messages with you and me being like, when 143 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 3: did I reply ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. 144 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 3: And it was a little bit of a struggle for 145 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 3: me to find something, but I'm ultimately going with Jaden 146 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 3: Shat showing up to Temu camp with a phone background 147 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 3: that was Emma Hayes wearing the pink wig from the 148 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 3: NWSL Championship weekend. It's one of those things where it 149 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 3: would have been really weird if Jaden shaw had made 150 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 3: Emma Hayes her phone background and hadn't told Emma Hayes, 151 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 3: but the fact that she was able to display it 152 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 3: and show it and they could bond over it made 153 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 3: it all very fun. 154 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it technically wasn't a social media post from her, 155 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: but it was her using a photo and then posting 156 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: it to social media in order for it to spread 157 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: and for the joke to go far beyond just between 158 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: the two of them, So I'll allow it and the 159 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,679 Speaker 1: people slice nominee is also not exactly something that happened 160 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: on the Internet, but it's the result of something from 161 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: the Internet. And I think we can all agree we 162 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: were trolled by this.
