00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,279
Speaker 1: Welcome to Good Game with Sarah Spain, where we're wondering

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: if the greatest love story Never told should have actually

3
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: been you know, never told, Rip benefit Jafleck see you for.

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 2: Around three in a couple of years.

5
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,319
Speaker 1: On today's show, we'll take you behind the scenes of

6
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: the upcoming E sixty volleyball doc No Place Like Nebraska,

7
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: with director and producer Jen Carson Strauss, plus a slew

8
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: of NWSL and WNBA games to keep an eye on

9
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: this weekend, a super weird flex from producer Alex and

10
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: we answer a great question from one of you little slices.

11
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 2: It's all coming up right after this.

12
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: Welcome back, my little Laune slices.

13
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 2: Here's what you need to know today.

14
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: The NWSL made a big announcement on Thursday, a historic

15
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: new CBA extending the current deal through twenty thirty with

16
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: some major new benefits for the players.

17
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: Here's a couple of the highlights.

18
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: One, the college Draft and much despised Expansion Draft both

19
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: are gone. Instead, players will now have autonomy to decide

20
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: which team is the best fit and negotiate with teams individually.

21
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: Two free agency for all players used to have to

22
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: play multiple seasons before earning the right to become free agents.

23
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: Now all players will be free agents as soon as

24
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 1: their current contract expires.

25
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 2: Three.

26
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: No more trades without player consent beginning next year. Just

27
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: earlier this week, we told you about that Seattle Louisville

28
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: trade that resulted in Bethany Balser and Jalen Howell needing

29
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,639
Speaker 1: to uproot their lives, both players expressing surprise over the news.

30
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: Will starting with next season, teams will no longer be

31
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 1: able to make trades unless a player approves it. There's

32
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: way more to it than that, from increases in minimum

33
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 1: salaries to revenue sharing, So stay tuned for a deep

34
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 1: dive next week with the folks who made the deal happen.

35
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: That's going to be great meantime on the pitch. After

36
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: a lengthy Olympic break, NWSL regular season games resume this weekend.

Speaker 1: AIG Women's Open began yesterday in Airshire, Scotland, with a

55

Speaker 1: who won the Scottish Open last week and has won

61
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: two of her last three starts. She's in the field

62
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: of players looking to keep up her momentum, so as

63
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: Paris twenty twenty four gold medalist Lydia Coe to hoops.

64
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 1: On Wednesday night, Tina Charles became the second all time

00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: leading scorer in WNBA history. She's now at seven four

66

Speaker 1: and the Dreams win over the Mercury to pass Hall

68
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: of Famer Tina Thompson on the list. On the opposite

69
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: side of the court that night, the woman who still

70
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: leads the league, Diana Tarassi, by quite a margin too.

71
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: Dt sits at ten five hundred points and she's adding

72
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: to her total every game. Charles spoke of her admiration

73
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: for fellow Yukon Husky Tarassi quote, just to hear my

74
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: name in the same sentence as Diana is just unimaginable.

75
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: What she has meant to me personally and this league.

76
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 2: Her impact.

77
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: She's definitely the goat, and I'm just thankful. It was

78
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: very cool to watch the two embrace and then compete

79
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: on Wednesday. There's plenty of WNBA action on tap this weekend.

80
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: We got some more matchups you should look for. First up,

81
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: got the Las Vegas Aces at the Minnesota Lynks tonight

82
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: at nine thirty Eastern. That's on Ion and League Pass.

83
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: These teams squared off on Wednesday and Vegas Minnesota pulled

84
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: away with a ninety eight eighty seven road win. Courtney

85
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: Williams was given the Aces nightmares with her mid range

86
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: jumper and her near triple double, and Ace's head coach

87
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: Becky Hammond was not pleased with her team defense in

88
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: that one.

89
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 2: Can they adjust tonight?

90
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: Moving on, we got the New York Liberty hosting the

91
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: Connecticut Suns Saturday, seven pm Eastern on League Pass. Their

92
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: number one and number two respectively in the league standings,

93
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: and New York has a three and a half game cushion.

94
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: Both teams are playing well, but Connecticut has struggled on

95
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: the road a bit this season. Will their road woes

96
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: continue in that one? Saturday at eight pm Eastern onn

97
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: League Pass, we got Indiana Fever at the Minnesota Lynks,

98
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: and one of the greatest players in WNBA history will

99
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: be honored during the game. The Links are going to

100
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: retire Maya Moore's number twenty three jersey at Target Center.

101
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 1: She'll be the fifth player in Link's history to have

102
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: her number retired, joining Lindsay Waylan, Rebecca Brunson, Simone Augustus,

103
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: and Sylvia Fowls. It's super poetic that Caitlin Clark and

104
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: the Fever are going to be in the arena for

105
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: this one because Clark grew up idolizing Maya Moore. This

106
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: is a perfect time for a little mini yes and moment.

107
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: Yes and Yes, Caitlin Clark is incredible and helps draw

108
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: enormous crowds and attention to the WNBA. Yes, she is

109
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: one of the best rookies this league has ever seen,

110
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: and Maya Moore is simply her the blueprint. She helped

111
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: lead Minnesota to a championship her very first year in

112
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: the league and one Rookie of the Year, and then

113
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: proceeded to win three more rings League MVP Finals MVP.

114
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: Oh and by the way, she helped exonerate her now husband,

115
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: who is incarcerated for more than two decades on a

116
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: wrongful conviction.

117
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 2: I mean, what can't she do? I could list stuff

118
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 2: all day.

119
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: So Yes, let's keep celebrating the amazing performance Kitlyn is

120
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: putting together. And let's remember she's not the first rookie

121
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: phenom this league has ever seen. Yes, and while we're talking,

122
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: WNBA pretty cool. The Sky sent few players to the

123
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: DNC in Chicago this week. Team owner Michael Alter coordinated

124
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: passes for Elizabeth Williams, Brianna Turner, and MICHAELA.

125
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 2: Oyanwere to attend.

126
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 1: They saw speeches from Barack and Michelle Obama, they saw

127
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: the official confirmation of a black woman as the Democratic

128
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: presidential nominee, and they were moved by the experience. Oyanwere

129
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: told the Chicago Tribunes Julia Poe quote, it meant everything.

130
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: I'm not an emotional person like at all, but just

131
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: to see the emotions from different people, from people who

132
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: look like me, it's just so important seeing somebody who

133
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: is in that light do what you can do as well.

134
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: I can't even put it into words. It's so powerful,

135
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: so inspiring. It's just everything for young black girls and boys.

136
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 2: End quote.

137
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: All right, sliceas mark your calendars because this Sunday at

138
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: five pm Eastern, ESPN is airing a new E sixty

139
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: that goes behind the scenes of Nebraska Volleyball. It's titled

140
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: No Place Like Nebraska, and it covers the team over

141
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: the last year, beginning with a historic volleyball Day in

142
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: Nebraska in August of last year when record breaking ninety

143
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: two thousand and three fans crammed into Huscar Stadium to

144
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: watch Nebraska defeat Omaha three sets to none. Yeah, if

145
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: you didn't see it, it was ninety two thousand people

146
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: in a football stadium to watch a volleyball game. But

147
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: the doc isn't just about that game or just about

148
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: volleyball in particular. It shines a light on outside hitter

149
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: Harper Murray, the heartbreaking death of her father when she

150
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: was just a child, and her desire to find her

151
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: own success wearing his number.

152
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 2: While Murray had.

153
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: One of the best ever freshman seasons in Nebraska volleyball history,

154
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: last year, she had a turbulent spring, including being charged

155
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: with driving under the influence following an April traffic stop.

156
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 2: She was sentenced to nine months of probation in July,

157
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 2: but she will be allowed to play this fall.

158
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: We caught up with one of the co directors and

159
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: producers of the film, Jen Carson Strauss, to learn more

160
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: about how the film came to be, why she decided

161
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: to cover Nebraska, and why she decided to focus a

162
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: bit on Murray's story. It's all coming up right after

163

164

Speaker 1: documentary director and producer for E sixty on ESPN. She's

165
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: a diehard football fan, but she missed the twenty twenty

166
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: three Super Bowl, and Baby Number two decided to arrive

167
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: just in time to keep her from watching the epic

168
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: Chiefs Eagles battle. And that's why I stick with dogs.

169
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: It's Jen Carson strauss ten. Thanks for joining us.

170
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 3: What an amazing intro. Sara Spain, Thank you so much

171
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 3: for having me on. So good to see you.

172
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: Always something to remember Baby number two by the Super Bowl.

173
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 2: Baby.

174
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: Your new doc No Place Like Nebraska, which documents the

175
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: journey of the twenty twenty three Nebraska women's volleyball team,

176
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 1: premieres August twenty fifth, five pm on ESPN and ESPN Plus.

177
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 1: I was lucky enough to get a screener, so I'll

178
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: try not to give anything away while also enticing people

179
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: to watch it because it's really good, and I have

180
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: to admit as much of a women's sports fan as

181
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 1: I am, I don't know that I would see it

182
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: and just be like, oh, sure, I'm into this, and

183
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: I'm so glad that I watch it, and I want

184
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: everybody else to give it a shot. And I'm curious

185
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: why Nebraska volleyball, what made you decide to follow them

186
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: for that season?

187
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, sir, sorry.

188
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 4: Co directed this with Mattie run at ESPN, and I

189
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 4: was looking into some other women's sports stories and at

190
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 4: the time volleyball Day was had come on to her radar,

191
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 4: and so I give her credit. She was the one

192
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 4: that was like, Hey, this massive event is going to

193
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 4: be happening. And I think for everybody else in America,

194
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 4: our stay in you know where we're at in Connecticut.

195
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 4: This was a shock that, you know, ninety plus thousand

196
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 4: fans were going to be at a volleyball game in

197
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 4: the middle of the country. And so I think that's

198
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 4: kind of where the jumping off point was.

199
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 3: Was, Hey, this is this is insane.

200
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 4: How can we peel back how this came to be

201
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 4: and why is it that way?

202
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I've been hearing about Nebraska volleyball from AFAR

203
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 1: for years, and that ninety thousand plus person game really

204
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: put it all on our radar. And seeing people in

205
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: the farthest reaches of a football stadium where they couldn't

206
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: even barely see that there was a volleyball not to

207
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: mention a game going on really opened my eyes. And

208
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 1: then this story he told me, the legacy that footage

209
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: from the nineteen seventies, a coach that's twenty plus years

210
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: at the helm handing on to another coach that's twenty

211
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: plus years at the helm. There is so much history

212
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 1: there of how you build something like this, and it's

213
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: particularly interesting in women's sports, how it seems to often

214
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: happen in places that aren't dominated by a ton of

215
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: pro men's teams that pull all the focus. This feels

216
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: like the whole state of Nebraska gets behind this team, right.

217
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 3: I mean that's one of the things.

218
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 4: I mean, up until this last year in Nebraska has

219
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 4: no professional sports teams, no professional football, no professional basketball,

220
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 4: and that's in men and women's and so.

221
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 3: The Cornhuskers are their professional team.

222
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 4: I mean when I have been there to film and

223
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 4: I'm in the ubers like they're listening to the radio

224
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 4: to you know, hear what's happening with their sports teams.

225
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 4: I mean people that went to the university, but people

226
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 4: that didn't go to the university, farmers, girls, men, women,

227
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 4: people of all ages and types, and so we really

228
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 4: got an authentic taste of like this touches the entire

229
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 4: state and everybody is so invested in the coren Oskers.

230
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: It's a cool story too, of a team that's very young,

231
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: that's had a ton of success, but maybe had some

232
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: doubts coming into the twenty twenty three season because there

233
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: were no seniors, a couple freshmen and a transfer that

234
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: we're going to play big roles. How did you gain

235
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: the trust of young players with tough stories. I'm thinking

236
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: particularly of Harper Murray, whose father passed away when she

237
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: was very young, who carries his legacy, wears his number

238
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: from when he was in the NFL, and it's a

239
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: very hard story for anyone to talk about a tragedy

240
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: like that.

241
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 2: But you got her and.

242
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: Her mom, and she's so young and so new, she

243
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: was just getting into the college game. How did you

244
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 1: convince her to go public and to talk about something

245
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: so difficult?

246
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 4: I mean, as you know, Sarah, trust is so important,

247
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 4: especially when you know we don't give editorial control to

248
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 4: our subjects. We don't let them see it beforehand, we

249
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 4: don't pay them to be involved in these documentaries, So

250
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 4: you really do have to establish that trust. And so

251
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 4: one thing that we did was we had you know,

252
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 4: zoom meetings with Harper early before we even met her,

253
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 4: to really get to know her as a person. Not hey,

254
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 4: this is what we need out of you, but just

255
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 4: get to know her and meet her where she was

256
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:17,199
Speaker 4: and introduce ourselves and tell her, you know, what we

257
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 4: were looking to do with the story, but just taking

258
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 4: a really.

259
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 3: Natural interest in her.

260
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 4: We were honest about the fact that we wanted to

261
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 4: know about her family and about her backstory and why

262
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 4: she wears number twenty seven. I mean, that was something

263
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 4: that people knew, but she hadn't really ever talked about

264
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 4: it before.

265
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 2: And so.

266
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 4: When we sat down, though, was when really the layers

267
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 4: like started to come and she was really open and

268
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 4: raw and honestly Sarah like is one of the interviews

269
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 4: I think that I've like, it felt.

270
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 3: Like there were no cameras there.

271
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 4: I don't know if Pember would say that too, but

272
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 4: it got to that point where it was just the

273
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:05,599
Speaker 4: two of us talking. She tested me afterwards, and like

274
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 4: a therapy session, just because it got to that point

275
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 4: of things that you know, even her mom and her

276
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 4: teammates and her coach haven't seen that side of Harper,

277
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 4: and so I think it was a really therapeutic experience

278
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 4: for her, and that first one allowed her to really

279
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 4: have that trust with us that carried on even to

280
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 4: you know, post filming.

281
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: She's one of those women's athletes that you picture if

282
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: they're in a big market or on a men's team,

283
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: with all the same factors, they would be a massive star.

284
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: I mean, she just feels like a natural star, not

285
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: just for her explosive play, her dynamic. You know how

286
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: fun she is to watch. She's gorgeous, she's got an

287
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: interesting story, but she's also flawed and complicated and has

288
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: so much simmering under the surface that you can see

289
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 1: in her that makes her all the more interesting to

290
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: want to follow and watch. And then, of course, so

291
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 1: twist happens when that season that you covered is over.

292
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 1: You told me that you intended to keep covering the

293
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: team through a spring game. They always pick a small

294
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: town in Nebraska to play a game in, which is

295
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: so cool and so smart. Like when I heard the

296
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: coach saying that they've been doing it for years and years,

297
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 1: it felt like such a no brainer to drop into

298
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: somewhere and create a whole new fan base of young

299
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: people and families that are excited to.

300
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 2: Watch Nebraska volleyball.

301
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: But how different was the story you came in hoping

302
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: to tell from the story that you ended up telling,

303
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: not just because of the twist involving Harper Murray, which

304
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: everyone will see or maybe have already heard about in

305
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: the news, but just overall. Was it what you thought

306
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: you were going to find when you got there?

307
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 3: No?

308
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 4: I mean, honestly, I think what this started as for

309
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 4: me was like, Okay, this is a new type of

310
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 4: storytelling for me, I hadn't done really a follow type

311
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 4: of documentary before where we were going to get as

312
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 4: much access as we were going to get, and with

313
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 4: players that most America doesn't really know. And so I

314
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 4: started off with maybe some low expectations. And I think

315
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 4: it was after we did those interviews that I remember

316
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 4: walking away being like, holy crap, and I'm not going

317
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 4: to tell anybody about this because I want to.

318
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 3: I want to just press play.

319
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 4: Internally when we screen it front everybody, because I felt

320
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 4: like and Maddie and the co director, we felt like,

321
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 4: you know, we had something really special with people who,

322
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 4: as you know, like this this wasn't just about volleyball,

323
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 4: and this isn't just about a record breaking game.

324
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 3: It's about the pressure and expectations that.

325
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 4: Come with one plane for the University of Nebraska and

326
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 4: that fan base. But also I mean, these you have

327
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 4: to remind yourself, these are nineteen twenty year old kids,

328
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 4: and social media is insane now in NIL and all

329
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 4: the things that go into the things that affect their

330
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 4: mindntal health that wasn't even a thing five years ago.

331
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 3: And so that part was really interesting.

332
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 4: For us and we wanted to really dive deeper into that.

333
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, it becomes a big part of the story.

334
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: I really encourage everyone to watch at premieres August twenty fifth,

335
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: five pm on ESPN and ESPN Plus. No place like Nebraska,

336
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: even if you're not into volleyball or Nebraska, which I

337
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: loved seeing the shots of and the storytelling around even

338
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: the place in which it all happens. I really recommend

339
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: watching it. I wanted to ask, as you were researching

340
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: and doing the background for this, we have a segment

341
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: on our show called Yes And where we say, yes,

342
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: this is awesome and did you know that twenty years

343
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: ago this happened or this athlete did this? Helping to

344
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: kind of create mythology and history around women's sports. In

345
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: ways we haven't before. There was a game in nineteen

346
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: seventy one. Did you read about this in Mexico? One

347
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: hundred and twelve five hundred spectators for a women's soccer tournament.

348
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: The attendance figure isn't exactly official. It was not tracked

349
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: as Did.

350
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 2: You see that at all?

351
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: Did anyone think about that in dealing with the ambiguity

352
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: around this sort of Nebraska record of the most to

353
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: attend to women's sports event.

354
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 4: We did see it, and I think, you know, I

355
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 4: think because it was unofficial, we felt confident enough and

356
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,360
Speaker 4: everybody else SA said it too, so we're like, okay,

357
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 4: we're not you know, we felt like we were in

358
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 4: an okay place. I think the other thing that was

359
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 4: just interesting, Sarah, is that like this was the only

360
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 4: this is the only game within the things that we're

361
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 4: talking about that is not soccer. I mean, the was

362
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 4: a soccer game, Barcelona was. It's a soccer game, and

363
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 4: so I think that was.

364
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 3: One of the interesting parts. I mean, you talked about it.

365
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 3: You can't even see the volleyball court on this field.

366
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 4: You're not supposed to play volleyball outside, you know, unless

367
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 4: it's beach volleyball, So there were all these other interesting

368
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 4: layers to it that made it interesting from our perspective

369
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 4: beyond just the crowd.

370
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

371
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean both incredible numbers, and that's why we

372
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: love a little yes, and because it's worthy of talking

373
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 1: about both of them. This is such a great documentary.

374
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,719
Speaker 1: Congrats on the excellent work. I look forward to everyone

375
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 1: seeing it and getting to talk about it, and particularly

376
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: being able to reflect on all the great storytelling you

377
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: did before everything went down with Harper Murray. That will

378
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: really help people put into perspective some of the stuff

379
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 1: she's going through.

380
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 2: So thanks for giving us some time.

381
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 3: Thank you so much. I appreciate it.

382
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 2: We got to take another break when we come back.

383
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: Producer Alex has been keeping something from us.

384
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 2: Welcome back Slices.

385
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: It's time for the debut of a news segment we

386
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: like to call weird flex. But okay, in this inaugural edition,

387
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: we got to put producer Alex on the hot seat

388
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 1: weird flex al, But why didn't you.

389
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 2: Tell us you're pro hockey player? Wait what?

390
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 1: There's a story about the women's pro hockey leagues that

391
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: existed before the current PWHL was formed. On a blog

392
00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: that shall remain nameless, but would probably be well served

393
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: by checking their names before they hit published, because when

394
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: discussing the PHF, it reads, in part quote, while it

395
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: seemed as though everything was growing and chugging along smoothly,

396
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: there were things attempting to derail it. Some professional players

397
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: opposed the idea and voice their displeasure. Among those players

398
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: was alex Asie or Hillary Knight, who won the inaugural

399
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: league championship with the Boston Pride but never returned Alex.

400
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: It even links to one of your tweets, so it's

401
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: the alex Azzi they're thinking of.

402
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 5: You got some splaining to do, Honestly, of that excerpt

403
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 5: that you just read, the most egregious thing in that

404
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 5: is that the PHF was chugging along smoothly because it

405
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 5: was not yit. There were some major salary cuts. Players

406
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 5: were not getting any health insurance. So you know, honestly,

407
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 5: maybe I was a former player and I just never

408
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 5: got paid.

409
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,719
Speaker 1: Adds up, maybe you got paid as much as the

410
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: actual players did. My favorite part is, just like the

411
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: top two pl worthy of mention are you and Hillary Knight.

412
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 2: The legendary Hillary.

413
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 1: Knight based on Zoom and my impressions of you also

414
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: no offense, but I feel like your ass would get

415
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: tossed in the PWHL or the PHF. You do not

416
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 1: seem like you could take a.

417
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 2: Hit, Sarah.

418
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 5: Maybe you don't know this about me, but I played

419
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 5: ice hockey growing up.

420
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 1: I should have guessed that on your field hockey background.

421
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 1: You just look slim. You look like a lean, mean

422
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: fighting machine who Hillary Knight would check it to next

423
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 1: week one hundred.

424
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 5: That is accurate. There is a difference between playing hockey

425
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 5: and being good at it, and I am definitely in

426
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 5: the former category.

427
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 2: Honestly, weird flex But okayl.

428
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: We love that you're listening, but we want you to

429
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: get in the game every day too.

430
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 2: So here's our good game play of the day.

431
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 1: Watch Jen's awesome documentary No Place Like Nebraska. It premieres

432
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 1: on Sunday five pm Eastern e sixty on ESPN, and

433
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: we'll be streaming afterward on ESPN Plus. It's the end

434
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: of the week, y'all, which means it's time for around

435
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: and find Out Friday. Today, we've got a WNBA player

436
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 1: perilously on the edge of finding out. Anne, self proclaimed

437
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: slice Alyssa Obradovitch set us up perfectly to tell the

438
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: tale because Alyssa asked me on social do technical fouls

439
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: in the w carry into the postseason? First, thanks for

440
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: the question, Slice, I'm guessing you're asking because rookie phenom

441
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark is this close to having to sit out

442
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 1: a game due to technical fouls.

443
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 2: Yep.

444
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: She picked up her fifth of the season, and the

445
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 1: fevers went over the storm on Sunday when she punched

446
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,439
Speaker 1: the padding of the stanchion behind the bucket.

447
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 2: She was frustrated. After the game, she told.

448
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 1: Reporters that the referee at her outburst was quote disrespectful

449
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: to the game of basketball, and that she'd also gotten

450
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,199
Speaker 1: a similar call in college when she was frustrated with

451
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 1: herself and her play. Whether or not you quibble with

452
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: the call. With twelve games to go, she's got five technicals.

453
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 1: That's two away from the all important number seven, which

454
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: results in an automatic one game penalty. Another suspension is

455
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,479
Speaker 1: issued for every two technicals beyond number seven. Well, so

456
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: number nine, eleven, thirteen, you get it. So she gotta

457
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 1: be careful because if she keeps picking around, she's going

458
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: to find out The good news for Clark and for

459
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: the fever. Technical fouls do reset after the regular season,

460
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 1: so Clark and the rest of the players in the

461
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: w get a clean slate when the postseason starts. Thanks

462
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: for asking that question, Alyssa. I actually wasn't one hundred

463
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: percent sure on that one, so I asked friend of

464
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 1: the show, Annie Costable, who covers the WNBA for the

465
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 1: Chicago Sun Times, and she hit me back, So give

466
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: her a follow at Annie Costable, got a question about

467
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: the rules of a league, got a question about postseason format,

468
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,080
