<v Speaker 1>today's show, Chelsea got their woman, Djto gets teed up,

0:00:22.360 --> 0:00:25.919
<v Speaker 1>a controversial new commercial earworm, and an important Hoops and

<v Speaker 1>gayshit update. It's all coming up right after this Welcome

0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:38.720
<v Speaker 1>back slices. Happy Monday. Here's what you need to know today.

0:00:40.800 --> 0:00:44.080
<v Speaker 1>We start with some major WNBA news. We first saw

0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:46.040
<v Speaker 1>a friend of the show, Annie Costable of the Chicago

0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:49.120
<v Speaker 1>Sun Times, report on Saturday about a potential three team

0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:51.720
<v Speaker 1>trade that would send Jewel Lloyd to the Aces and

0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:55.280
<v Speaker 1>Kelsey Plum to the Sparks, and that other big WNBA

0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:57.520
<v Speaker 1>free agency moves might be on hold till the.

0:00:57.480 --> 0:00:58.480
<v Speaker 2>Deal was finalized.

0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:03.360
<v Speaker 1>Then late on Sunday, ESPN's sham Shrania, Ramona Shelbourne, Kendra Andrews,

0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:07.000
<v Speaker 1>and Alexa Philippoo together confirmed the deal. A source reportedly

0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:09.520
<v Speaker 1>told the ESPN's cadre of reporters that in addition to

0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:12.360
<v Speaker 1>Lloyd to the Aces and Plumb to the Storm, the

0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Storm will get the number two pick in the twenty

0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:17.360
<v Speaker 1>twenty five WNBA draft and Lee Yaru from the Sparks.

0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:19.880
<v Speaker 1>In the deal, Sparks will get the number nine pick

0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:22.959
<v Speaker 1>from Seattle and the Aces will get the number thirteen

0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:25.360
<v Speaker 1>draft pick from LA. That's all we've got as of

0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:28.560
<v Speaker 1>this recording, but plenty to say about this deal in

0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:31.160
<v Speaker 1>the future, and we expect a lot more dominoes to

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:32.480
<v Speaker 1>fall in free agency once.

0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:33.360
<v Speaker 2>This deal is done.

0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:36.920
<v Speaker 1>In tennis, American Madison Keyes won her first Grand Slam

0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:40.400
<v Speaker 1>title over the weekend, defeating world number one Arena Sablenka

0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:43.520
<v Speaker 1>in a thrilling three set match on Saturday. At age

0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:46.680
<v Speaker 1>twenty nine, Keys became the second oldest first time winner

0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:49.920
<v Speaker 1>of the Australian Open, the all time record holder China's

0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Lee Nah, who won her first title in twenty fourteen

0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:56.640
<v Speaker 1>at age thirty one. Keys, seated nineteenth, had to also

0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:59.640
<v Speaker 1>go through the second and seventh ranked players before meeting

0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 1>several in the final. More Australian Open shout out to

0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:06.920
<v Speaker 1>front of the show Taylor Townsend and check Player Katerina Sinyakova,

0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:09.840
<v Speaker 1>who won the women's doubles title on Sunday. Townsend and

0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:12.920
<v Speaker 1>Sennyakova produced a solid resume of results since teaming up

0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:15.440
<v Speaker 1>last year. In addition to this new trophy, they also

0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:18.000
<v Speaker 1>won Wimbledon and reached the semis of the US Open

0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:22.120
<v Speaker 1>last year. To soccer, or as this player's new team

0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:27.280
<v Speaker 1>refers to it, football, Naomi Germra's move to Chelsea is official.

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:29.720
<v Speaker 1>The women's Super League team announced that Germa has signed

0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:31.440
<v Speaker 1>a four and a half year deal with the club,

0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:34.280
<v Speaker 1>making the twenty four year old defender officially the first

0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 1>female player to earn a one million dollar transfer fee.

0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:40.240
<v Speaker 1>The signing was revealed on Sunday when Germa walked out

0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:44.080
<v Speaker 1>onto the pitch ahead of Chelsea's match against Arsenal truly

0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:47.760
<v Speaker 1>some movie type stuff. In a story on Chelsea's website,

0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:49.720
<v Speaker 1>Germa said, quote, there are a lot of things about

0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:51.720
<v Speaker 1>Chelsea that made me want to come here. The culture,

0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:55.160
<v Speaker 1>the winning mentality, staff and players. It's a top environment

0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:56.000
<v Speaker 1>to learn and grow in.

0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:56.799
<v Speaker 2>End quote.

0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:59.240
<v Speaker 1>Germa also thanked San Diego Wave in a post on

0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Instagram for quote creating an environment that allowed me to

0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:05.880
<v Speaker 1>grow and reach my potential end quote more soccer News.

0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:08.000
<v Speaker 1>You already know that you can get into the ownership

0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:10.040
<v Speaker 1>game by joining the show and buying a slice of

0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:12.720
<v Speaker 1>the Minnesota Aurora link in the show notes. If you

0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:15.080
<v Speaker 1>still haven't bought, but if any of your slices have

0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:18.600
<v Speaker 1>some big M money and want to get into the pros,

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:22.200
<v Speaker 1>you can set your sites on the Houston Dash. Per Sportico,

0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Ted Siegal, owner of both the Dash and the Dynamo

0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:28.120
<v Speaker 1>of the MLS, has hired an investment bank to assess

0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:30.800
<v Speaker 1>investment options for the Dash. In a memo written to

0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:34.200
<v Speaker 1>staff and reviewed by Sportico, Siegel wrote, quote, given this

0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:37.680
<v Speaker 1>backdrop and the unprecedented levels of interest in the NWSL

0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:40.680
<v Speaker 1>from high quality investors, I believe now is the right

0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:43.480
<v Speaker 1>time to explore whether there are additional resources that we

0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:46.600
<v Speaker 1>can attract to help the Dash succeed well into the future.

0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:47.320
<v Speaker 2>End quote.

0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Now it's worth noting the Dash of qualified for the

0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:52.880
<v Speaker 1>nwslayoffs just once since joining the league in twenty fourteen.

0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:56.440
<v Speaker 1>The team has also struggled with both player and coach turnover.

0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:59.560
<v Speaker 1>In the last two years, five different people have filled

0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:01.920
<v Speaker 1>the latter role, either on an interim or a so

0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:05.400
<v Speaker 1>called permanent basis, and Maria Sanchez, who signed one of

0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:08.640
<v Speaker 1>the biggest NWSL contracts of all time to join the

0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:11.720
<v Speaker 1>Dash in twenty twenty three, requested a trade from the

0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:14.440
<v Speaker 1>club just a few months later. All that to say,

0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:17.920
<v Speaker 1>the quote unquote right time to explore additional resources and

0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:21.040
<v Speaker 1>invest in the brain trust and the player experience might

0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:23.880
<v Speaker 1>have been a few years ago, but either way, we're

0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:27.039
<v Speaker 1>here for it if it improves the Dash to college hoops.

0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:29.160
<v Speaker 1>A couple of ranked teams were upset over the weekend,

0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:32.560
<v Speaker 1>including number ten Kansas State falling to unranked Colorado sixty

0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:35.880

0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:38.640
<v Speaker 1>dropping a seventy seven to sixty two contests to unranked

0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:41.360
<v Speaker 1>Arizona that day as well. Also, as I mentioned earlier,

0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Tanaia Latson, putting up twenty five points to lead unranked

0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:47.240
<v Speaker 1>Florida State, passed the thirteenth ranked tar Heels.

0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:48.760
<v Speaker 2>Eighty six eighty four on Sunday.

0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:51.160
<v Speaker 1>A couple of nice wins for top ranked teams too, though,

0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:53.760
<v Speaker 1>including Loren Betts putting up thirty three points to send

0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:56.440
<v Speaker 1>number one UCLA pass number eight Maryland eighty two to

0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:59.960
<v Speaker 1>sixty seven on Sunday, Sarah Strong and pagebackers leading numbers

0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Yukon with twenty six and twenty two points respectively in

0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:05.680
<v Speaker 1>a seventy two to sixty one win over Big East

0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:08.120
<v Speaker 1>Vauxe Crayton on Saturday and a big win for number

0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:11.040
<v Speaker 1>two South Carolina on Friday night over number five LSU

<v Speaker 1>Anissa Morros fifteen points, pacing the Game Cocks in that

0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:18.160
<v Speaker 1>sixty six to fifty six win. More hoops news, Melissa

0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Smith is unrivaled. The Indiana Fever forward has signed an

0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:25.239
<v Speaker 1>injury relief contract with the Three on three Leagues misted BC,

0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:29.400
<v Speaker 1>same team as her girlfriend, Dja Carrington. Smith made her

0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:32.360
<v Speaker 1>debut for the Myst on Saturday, playing five minutes. We'll

0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:34.240
<v Speaker 1>have to wait a little bit longer to see Carrington

0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:36.480
<v Speaker 1>and Smith play side by side, as Carrington is one

0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:39.200
<v Speaker 1>of the players currently out with injury, along with Jewel Lloyd.

0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:42.320
<v Speaker 1>After the weekend, the Myst are the only team without

0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:44.680
<v Speaker 1>a win and unrivaled. They're sitting at oh to four.

0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:47.560
<v Speaker 1>The Laces and the Lunar Owls lead the league with

0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:50.679

<v Speaker 1>The Scepters won the contest four to two, with Hannah

0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.320

<v Speaker 1>Miller and Minnesota's Kendall Cooin Schofield lead the PWHL in

0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:16.839

0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:38.000
<v Speaker 1>After the win, Kim said on the broadcast she felt

0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:40.000
<v Speaker 1>in a rut the last few years, but she entered

0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:42.080
<v Speaker 1>this season just wanting to focus on doing runs that

0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:44.680

<v Speaker 1>When we come back, the unrivaled call is coming from

0:07:52.800 --> 0:08:02.800
<v Speaker 1>inside the house. Welcome back, slices. We had a big

0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:05.600
<v Speaker 1>weekend of sports. A couple stories to dig into. First

0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:08.920
<v Speaker 1>quick note on that LSU South Carolina game I mentioned

0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:12.200
<v Speaker 1>earlier Don Staley's squad getting the wind despite Kim Molki

0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:15.160
<v Speaker 1>trying to harness the power of the current planetary parade

0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:19.800
<v Speaker 1>with her celestial themed blazer. Anyway, after the game, Tiger

0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:23.160
<v Speaker 1>star Flage Johnson called out the DJ at Colonial Life

0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Arena for playing the song cut Friends by rapper Camouflage

0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:30.520
<v Speaker 1>after the game Cocks win Now. Camouflage is Flage's father.

0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:32.760
<v Speaker 1>He was murdered in two thousand and three when her

0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:35.720
<v Speaker 1>mother was still pregnant with her She wrote quote, I'll

0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:39.000
<v Speaker 1>take my l on the chin, but this just nasty behavior.

0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:42.840
<v Speaker 1>None funny about that on Twitter, sharing a screenshot of

0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:46.320
<v Speaker 1>the DJ's Instagram, where after someone pointed out that playing

0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:48.439
<v Speaker 1>Camouflage at the end of the game was crazy. The

0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:52.040
<v Speaker 1>DJ replied my bad with a laughing face. The DJ

0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:56.080
<v Speaker 1>who goes by djto first responded by posting, quote, people

0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:58.360
<v Speaker 1>will find something to be mad about, just let them

0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:00.960
<v Speaker 1>end quote. But then she followed up with a statement

0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:03.680
<v Speaker 1>that said, in part quote, I apologize for playing cut

0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Friends instrumental at the game yesterday. It is never my

0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:09.320
<v Speaker 1>intent to disrespect anyone or offend anyone when my job

0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:11.080
<v Speaker 1>is to have fun and make sure other people have

0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.760
<v Speaker 1>a good time. She went on, I'm from the low

0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:16.400
<v Speaker 1>Country Seaport area, so I've been playing it for years,

0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:18.480
<v Speaker 1>even at other games, but I shouldn't have played it

0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:22.079
<v Speaker 1>at yesterday's game, and then said quote, I can't control

0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:25.160
<v Speaker 1>how anyone takes it, but I can take responsibility and

0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:29.400
<v Speaker 1>apologize end quote. Now that's a shit apology, and honestly,

0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:32.199
<v Speaker 1>it reads like she's blaming Flage and others for taking offense.

0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:35.720
<v Speaker 1>I can't control how anyone takes it. Well, how would

0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:38.360
<v Speaker 1>you take someone playing your murdered father's song right after

0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:41.080
<v Speaker 1>your team got beat and then doubling down with a

0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:42.960
<v Speaker 1>my bad and a laughing emoji.

0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:45.720
<v Speaker 2>Thankfully sc agreed with me in a statement.

0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:48.880
<v Speaker 1>South Carolina Athletics apologize to Flage and her family, and

0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:52.079
<v Speaker 1>Djto has been suspended for a game, though I'd argue

0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:55.560
<v Speaker 1>she deserves a much longer break. Speaking to South Carolina,

0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:58.920
<v Speaker 1>they take on number seventeen Tennessee tonight and Lady Vols

0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:03.079
<v Speaker 1>coach Kim Caldwell plans to coach despite having her first

0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:06.559
<v Speaker 1>baby exactly one week ago Monday, a boy named Connor

0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:09.840
<v Speaker 1>Scott all while she was battling the flu. Now, Caldwell

0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:11.880
<v Speaker 1>Mister teams lost to Texas on Thursday night, but she

0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:13.720
<v Speaker 1>was back in practice on Friday.

0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:14.280
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Props to the new mama if coaching today is what

0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:19.880
<v Speaker 1>she wants, get after it, but no judgment for her

0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:23.880
<v Speaker 1>or anyone that needs more time than that. Sticking with Hoops,

0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:26.480
<v Speaker 1>it's been a while since we gave you a Hoops

0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:28.520
<v Speaker 1>and Gay Shit update, but we've got a good one

0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:30.840
<v Speaker 1>for you now. I don't know if this is for

0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:34.360
<v Speaker 1>sure true, but using previous Hoops and Gay Shit knowledge

0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:38.040
<v Speaker 1>and some context clues, we're thinking that Melissa Smith was

0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:41.320
<v Speaker 1>crashing with girlfriend Dja Carrington in Miami for the duration

0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:44.120
<v Speaker 1>of the Unrivaled season, and then when the myst realized

0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:46.920
<v Speaker 1>that injuries had their roster short a couple players. They

0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:50.719
<v Speaker 1>just looked in house for a replacement. Literally, like in

0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:54.319
<v Speaker 1>Djana's house. Old girl was there ready to play faster

0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:57.560
<v Speaker 1>than you could say, Delissa or Najane.

0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:00.679
<v Speaker 2>What we got to figure out their ship name y'all?

0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:03.160
<v Speaker 1>Only in women's sports, right, I've never heard of a

0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:05.520
<v Speaker 1>men's pro player shacking up with his boo and getting

0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:08.360
<v Speaker 1>the call to suit up when injury struck. Hopefully one

0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:10.880
<v Speaker 1>day I will, though, And if I do, that honestly

0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:13.959
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be much crazier than hearing a remix of Kia's

0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:17.319
<v Speaker 1>My Neck, My Back in a Dove ad on national television.

0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:20.000
<v Speaker 2>But folks, that is a reality in the year twenty

0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:20.520
<v Speaker 2>twenty five.

0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Now, if you haven't been watching Unrivaled or college hoops,

0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:24.959
<v Speaker 1>you might not have caud yet, but this ad is

0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:29.120
<v Speaker 1>basically the new ubiquitous commercial during women's basketball broadcasts. The

0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:32.480
<v Speaker 1>original song, in case you don't remember or your Misha's age,

0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:35.959
<v Speaker 1>was this naughty little tune with a very memorable chorus.

0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:39.040
<v Speaker 1>If you have kids in the car, ear Muff's time,

0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:44.680
<v Speaker 1>got it okay? That memorable chorus was my neck, my back,

0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:49.360
<v Speaker 1>lick my pussym my crack Now Dove's version is my neck,

0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:52.920
<v Speaker 1>my back, my legs and pits all that my neck,

0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:56.040
<v Speaker 1>my back, your thighs will be intact, which really doesn't

0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:58.040
<v Speaker 1>make any sense, but anyway, you get the picture. I

0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:01.840
<v Speaker 1>never thought i'd see the day, honestly, like, what's next,

0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:03.760
<v Speaker 1>mister Peanuts sing and give me that nut and a

0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Planter's ad. Now, I love peanuts, and Peanuts love me.

0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:11.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna do it anyway. If you're looking for

0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:13.320
<v Speaker 1>a more family friendly story, I do have one. Over

0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:15.800
<v Speaker 1>the weekend, a pair of sisters met in the Australian

0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Open Junior Doubles girls draw and they were even wearing

0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:19.800
<v Speaker 1>matching fits.

0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:20.480
<v Speaker 2>This was awesome.

0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:23.760
<v Speaker 1>Twin Americans ann again Christina Pennicova faced off against Czech

0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:27.560
<v Speaker 1>sisters Elena and Yanikovakova, with the twins advancing and going

0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:30.120
<v Speaker 1>on to win the title. And for more sister sister fun,

0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:33.040
<v Speaker 1>you could check out Keith Jenkins ESPN story on sisters

0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:33.960
<v Speaker 1>in college hoops.

0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:35.480
<v Speaker 2>We'll link to that in the show notes.

0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:39.720
<v Speaker 1>All right, so we mentioned earlier in the show that

0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:43.160
<v Speaker 1>American Chloe Kim won her eighth X Game snowboard halfpipe

0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:45.440
<v Speaker 1>title to break her tie with Kelly Clark for the

0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:48.400
<v Speaker 1>most women's half pipe titles in X Game's history, and

0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:52.559
<v Speaker 1>that brings us to the latest edition of Yes and

0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:55.800
<v Speaker 1>So a little context on what it means for Chloe

0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Kim to break Kelly Clark's record. Back in twenty fourteen,

0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Chloe mathematically qualified for the US Olympic team, but at

0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:04.920
<v Speaker 1>age thirteen, she was too young to compete at the Games,

0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:08.080
<v Speaker 1>so Kelly and company went to Russia while Chloe stayed home.

0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:11.480
<v Speaker 1>One year later, Chloe won her first X Games title

0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:14.800
<v Speaker 1>at age fourteen, and in doing so, she ended Kelly's

0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:17.840
<v Speaker 1>four year wind streak. Kelly finished second and was nothing

0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:21.600
<v Speaker 1>but a good sport celebrating Chloe's accomplishment and sport progressing

0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:24.720
<v Speaker 1>tricks with the media. And no exaggeration here, but Kelly

0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:27.840
<v Speaker 1>was literally twice Chloe's age thirty one and.

0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:28.600
<v Speaker 2>Fifteen at the time.

0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:31.360
<v Speaker 1>But here they were two women were I guess technically

0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:34.360
<v Speaker 1>one woman and one teenager pushing their sport forward at

0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:37.000
<v Speaker 1>the same time. And there's actually a pretty famous story

0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:39.360
<v Speaker 1>about how the two first met. So when Chloe was

0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:41.640
<v Speaker 1>eight years old, she was riding at Mammoth Mountain in

0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:44.160
<v Speaker 1>California when she saw Kelly waiting in the lift line.

0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:47.120
<v Speaker 1>Chloe tugged on the sleeve of Kelly's jacket to get

0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:49.559
<v Speaker 1>her attention and asked if she could ride up with her.

0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Kelly obliged, and as the story goes, they did a

0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:55.520
<v Speaker 1>few runs together. Kelly went on to become a mentor

0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:58.640
<v Speaker 1>of Chloe's. They trained together in California for years, and

0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:02.200
<v Speaker 1>in twenty eighteen, Chloe, seventeen, was finally old enough to

0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:05.880
<v Speaker 1>compete at the Olympics. Kelly, then thirty four, made the

0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:08.160
<v Speaker 1>team too, becoming one of the first American women to

0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:11.800
<v Speaker 1>compete at five Winter Olympics. Chloe went on to win gold,

0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:14.640
<v Speaker 1>while Kelly finished just off the podium in fourth. And

0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:17.040
<v Speaker 1>while finishing fourth at the Olympics normally means going home

0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:20.320
<v Speaker 1>empty handed, that wasn't the case this time around. That's

0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:23.560
<v Speaker 1>because the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee has something called

0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:26.840
<v Speaker 1>the Order of eCos Award. Each US athlete who wins

0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:29.200
<v Speaker 1>a medal is able to bestow the honor on someone

0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:32.200
<v Speaker 1>who helped them reach the Olympic podium. Now, most athletes

0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:35.720
<v Speaker 1>pick their coach, but in twenty eighteen, Chloe picked Kelly.

0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:38.240
<v Speaker 1>It was just the second time that an athlete chose

0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:40.880
<v Speaker 1>to award the Order of eCos to a fellow athlete.

0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:44.120
<v Speaker 1>Asked about her decision, Chloe said, of Kelly quote, she

0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:46.480
<v Speaker 1>really took me under her wing, has guided me through

0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:49.520
<v Speaker 1>every possible situation, good and bad, and I'm so happy

0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:50.400
<v Speaker 1>to call her my friend.

0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:55.120
<v Speaker 2>End quote. So yes to Chloe Kim and to Kelly Clark.

0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:56.400
<v Speaker 2>Love that story.

0:14:57.240 --> 0:15:01.160
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of yes, ending a slice is saying yes to

0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:03.920
<v Speaker 1>new teams and trying to figure out how to keep

0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:06.560
<v Speaker 1>track of all of them. Megan Werner wrote us and said,

0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:09.320
<v Speaker 1>in part quote, how to keep track of all my teams?

0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:12.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm loving following all my new teams lately, Minnesota, Frost,

0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:15.160
<v Speaker 1>Lunar Owls, Love Madison. Do any of you know how

0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:16.840
<v Speaker 1>a league gets to be one of the options at

0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:20.680
<v Speaker 1>ESPN's scores section of the app. I can find snooker, chess,

0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:25.120
<v Speaker 1>and badminton, among other obscure sports, but no PWHL for example.

0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:28.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm curious to know the criteria. Do leagues and governing

0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:31.000
<v Speaker 1>bodies pay for it? Is it based on ESPN's perceived interest?

0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:33.160
<v Speaker 1>Do these new leagues want fans going to their own

0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:34.680
<v Speaker 1>sites to follow results instead?

0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:35.720
<v Speaker 2>Would be nice if.

0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:37.600
<v Speaker 1>I could check on my new teams in similar ways

0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:39.600
<v Speaker 1>that I check on my hapless men's teams.

0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:40.560
<v Speaker 2>End quote.

0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:43.440
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So, per my friends at ESPN who have been

0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:46.160
<v Speaker 1>working to push for more women's sports content for a while,

0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:48.600
<v Speaker 1>it's not a simple ad. So one of them tried

0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:50.760
<v Speaker 1>to tackle the issue right when she got to the company.

0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:53.960
<v Speaker 1>And apparently it's a manual process to add a new league,

0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:56.600
<v Speaker 1>and it scores, schedule stats, etc. So it's a pretty

0:15:56.600 --> 0:16:00.000
<v Speaker 1>big technological lift and if not up to anyone person

0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:02.280
<v Speaker 1>to decide which leagues make the cut, it's part of

0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:07.040
<v Speaker 1>a larger product roadmap and bandwidth decision. Also, producer Alex

0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:09.120
<v Speaker 1>says that when she worked at The Messenger, she was

0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:11.080
<v Speaker 1>involved in some convos about how to get a ticker

0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:13.160
<v Speaker 1>added to the site, and even though women's sports were

0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:15.920
<v Speaker 1>a priority, none of the sports data companies that sold

0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:19.920
<v Speaker 1>the packages included women's leagues. Right now, ESPN is also

0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:22.360
<v Speaker 1>working on rolling out its big direct to consumer streaming

0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:25.080
<v Speaker 1>service called Flagship, So my guess is that the focus

0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:27.680
<v Speaker 1>and the resources are going to be on that right now.

0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:29.920
<v Speaker 1>In the meantime, though, you could check out an app

0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:33.280
<v Speaker 1>called flash Score. It's producer Alex's favorite. The company that

0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:35.640
<v Speaker 1>makes it is based in Prague, so most Americans haven't

0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:37.760
<v Speaker 1>heard of it, but it's got almost every league on it.

0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:40.440
<v Speaker 1>Unrivaled hasn't been added just yet, but Love and the

0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:43.000
<v Speaker 1>PWHL are both on it, so it's only a matter

0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:45.480
<v Speaker 1>of time before Rivaled joins too. Plus if you make

0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:47.760
<v Speaker 1>it account, you could favorite your teams and you can

0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:51.080
<v Speaker 1>get alerts about scores and upcoming games. Thanks for the question.

0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:53.240
<v Speaker 1>We agree that we would love to be able to

0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:55.840
<v Speaker 1>track all of our teams in one spot. Speaking of

0:16:55.920 --> 0:16:58.640
<v Speaker 1>Unrivaled and data across the timeline known for keeping track
