Hat Picks with Anna & Jillian

HAPPY ALMOST MARCH as we give you a glorious pod from late January. We talk about drafts, trades, and the USWNT in New Zealand! Please note that no hamstrings were detached in the making of this episode. 

It's 2023 and we are serving you -- YOU GUESSED IT -- a pod we recorded last year. We dive into the 2012 Olympic Semi-Final between the United States and Canada and take you on a historical journey you shant soon forget. A merry and prolific Hatpicksmas to all who celebrate! 

What's the record for longest time between a podcast being recorded and then edited/uploaded? DON'T ASK SILLY QUESTIONS, LISTENER. Because you should just be excited that this DOPE episode is up! Anna and Jillian are FINALLY in the same place at the same time, sharing a microphone and stories about WoSo. Did we spend a lot of time talking about wanting to get tacos? Yes. Did we then get tacos? Yes...

BUCKLE UP NERDS because this is a long one--but for good reason! We welcome TikTok icon Em Woods to the pod to talk all things women's soccer. The three of us have picks for you and go off on very meaningful tangents! Hear about Megan Rapinoe's magic, the Houston Dash's sparkle, Em's prediction for the NWSL season, and more! 

Did you miss us? We are serving up some dope WoSo action for you in our third iteration of Just the Tips! We cover the Euros, Concacaf qualifying, CP23's movie habits, PINKIES, and more! And also sad stuff but listen to check it all out!

Hello. Is it us you're looking for? WELL WE ARE BACK with some INCREDIBALL content for you! We've got real picks, PEWPEWs covering up coughs, tiny bebes, shit roster choices, and SO MUCH MORE. We know you love our nonsense and we love giving it to you! 

For the first time, you get to experience the raw genius that is Hat Picks, UNCUT. No editing (well, barely any editing). Did it still take Jillian 3 weeks to get this uploaded? Yes it did. Are we going to blame the stitches she got in her finger only a week ago? Yes we are. We are bringing you action from the USWNT, the Challenge Cup, and more! 

Y'all we are CRUSHING IT. Listen in for more tips and updates, plus a surprise guest! We're serving you good good, sweet sweet content from the NWSL, UWSNT, and more. You better appreciate this episode because WE TRAGICALLY ALMOST LOST IT. But it's here, for you, dear listeners. Pew pew. 

Dear listeners! It's an episode released the week it was recorded...it's a President's Day Miracle! This pod we talk about highlights from the WSL, A-League, and NWSL. We also talk about a lot of other dumb shit, as per usual, and you know you love it. 

We present to you our episode of only hat tips! This information is old but it's still VERY INTERESTING OKAY? Listen to Anna and Jillian wax poetic about all the shit you care about and more...just faster! JUST THE TIPS! 

It was the best of Jaelins, it was the worst of Jaelenes… WELCOME TO THE FIRST POD OF 2022! We are serving you the usual bullshit, all with a side of nihilism! There's plenty of updates about the soccer world, as well as plenty of us bitching about COVID-19. In the words of the Mountain Goats, we are gonna make it through this year if it kills us!

Look this episode is way too long and was recorded forever ago and we are slap happier than usual so just...hang in there for some sick content on the NWSL Championship, USWNT, and some other things. 

In a sick twist of events, Jillian jokes about not editing this pod for a week and then edited in 2 days! Wow. Hear us ramble on about the NWSL, WSL, A-League (formerly the W-League, (said in an Australian accent)), and Taylor Swift. Obviously. And Anna hates kids but loves Arsenal. Things are happening so tune in!

FISHLOCK. SALMON. This week we are all about those Brits with fish last names. And by that I mean we talk about 2 of them (are there more? Email us at hatpickspod@gmail.com ). We also talk about some dope upcoming postseason shit that is now clearly out of date, and update you on the ongoing NWSL situation! AND OF COURSE, Tobin Heath and Midge Purce make an appearance. Not like actually but we tal...

In this special edition of Hat Picks, we discuss the bravery of former NWSL players Kaiya McCullough, Sinead Farrelly, Mana Shim, and others who have spoken out about their abuse at the hands of NWSL leadership throughout the years. Because reports of this abuse finally broke into mainstream media, North Carolina Courage coach Paul Riley was fired last week and NWSL Commissioner Lisa Baird was for...

We're back with more soccer stuff! Tobin Heath is back in England, Christen Press is an ANGEL, Ashlyn Harris continues to be our Lord and Savior, and a Pretty Little Liars spin-off of Hat Picks might be in our future!

HAPPY PRIDE BITCHES! Your favorite queer and ally are here this week to talk to you about all things LGBTQ+ in soccer featuring women! Help us celebrate by listening and laughing at all our hilarious jokes. We talk about olympic rosters, queer royalty scoring, and more!

All you need to know is that we had to restart this recording like three times and still made it through so you're welcome for being queens. But also we talk about some great NWSL and USWNT action as we look toward the Olympics!

Gives! Goes! Gives and Goes! We love all the triangles happening right meow. We literally waited until the last minute to plan this pod because there was TOO MUCH GOOD SOCCER HAPPENING and we love it. Hear ALL ABOUT IT (it being NWSL regular season highlights and also Champion's League) on this week's edition of the podcast no one asked for. 

Gear up your ears for some dope picks! From the drama of the Challenge Cup Final to the return of Ebony Salmon, we cover it this pod. We also rave about Chelsea before they shit the bed at the Champion's League Final, so forgive us for having the same predictions as literally everyone else. Here's to a summer of soccer ahead!

Did we plan this podcast mere hours before recording? You bet. Did it turn out awesome even though we were dead tired? YOU ALSO BET. Hear some great shit from the NWSL and probably some other stuff too but we don't remember

WE'RE BACK BITCHES! After a short break, we're back in your atmosphere with an episode full of space puns and NWSL Challenge Cup goodness. We also talk about some major racist/bullshit "Hat Drops," and travel down unda for just one of our picks. Tune in for our usual comedy genius!

We are teenagers! Sorry for the long-ass episode but this one is full of braces and bangers and it's our 13th episode! Enjoy some major soccer drama in the W-League, WSL, and UEFA Champion's League. Prepare your ears for magic!
