Because to the outside looking in, yes, you see an eighth seed. Yes, you see the points and the, and the games that we dropped. But inside looking in, we've always felt we're not doing what we're capable of. This isn't the Gotham that we should be and that we all know we're capable of. So we've been falling short of not just the expectation, but our standard.

The first thing I think they'll see is some very pretty soccer.

The way we play is very beautiful.

We play in many different formations, different styles.

What we want you to see is us dominating.

Yeah. What we want you to see is us dominating. Hello from San Jose and welcome back to full time.

I am running on one hour of sleep, so bear with me.

Meg, how are you doing?

We're here for the end of you. Listen, we are closing out Media Day. They're going to be breaking this room down behind us. If you're watching on YouTube, congrats. You are now really truly experiencing. Yes. This is probably going to convert a lot of YouTube subscribers. The magic of Media Day, the terror of Media Day. The frenzy of it. Yeah. It's just, it's a real, it's a time.

Like, if you have not experienced an NWSL media day, they've just, they just keep getting longer. They do. It's a journey. They do. I mean, Tamara, I think we've had a great media day. Yeah. I mean, I think back to my first media day, it wasn't that long ago, 2022 in D.C. I was freelancing still. I had no idea really what was going on. Very much had to, like, read the vibe.

Yeah. And I feel like, sorry, I feel like it can be kind of intimidating to walk up to players at the table, not have any, like, real prompt,

and you just have to kind of rip. Talk. Talk. But I've noticed that a lot of players this year

are getting pulled off into these other projects. I will say I'm loving. We've got the table vibe.

Yeah. We have a little sign that the NBissal gave us. Yeah. People are coming to us. Yes. I love that.

The growth.

I love the growth for us.

The Go Girl give us nothing.

We can just sit here and be like, oh, you're coming to us. Yes. We've had little trinkets. We've had kikis. We've had inside jokes. Yeah. It's been a lot of fun. We're in this beautiful, like, old school sort of cavernous civic building, which yesterday was the site of the N. Wessel Award show.

Correct.

The first of its kind streamed online. Let us know if you watched it. The looks, Meg, they were looking. Yeah. I want to say like Hal Hersch felt old school Hollywood vibes. I really enjoyed it. And I think the red hair just like adds to it. Like we said, you're going to be, we're going to go and on.

Yeah. For it being the first like proper award show, I thought it was a great first start. We're only going to build on it from there. It had sort of the vibes of the NWSL drafts, but more sophisticated, a little bit more grown up.

Everybody's dressed up in a way to the drafts like sometimes, but not the same. Not the same. Kid or miss. This one, everybody ate down. And it looked like everyone was really happy to see each other. The entire Washington Spirit squad was there, which I thought was really cool. Tara McKeown. Yes. Sender of the year. Lily Real. rookieookie of the year. Okay, wait, time up. Before we go any further, I feel like one of our most interesting disagreements and one of the things that has caused the most discourse online was Coach of the Year. Yes. So I want to get your reaction to Bev Yanez winning Coach of the Year because that's where I was leaning. That's who I voted for. Yep. And I was leaning Vlodko. You know, the more I thought about it after we recorded, the more, and I think I said this to our producer, Theo. I think that the coaching category for awards this year might have been the most fascinating out of all the categories because the more I
