And 82 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 3: now I have to sort of sit or anybody has 83 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 3: to sit in front of you and explain someone else's behavior. 84 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 3: It's not my responsibility.

And granted, the men's and 87 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 3: the women's team did it together, and that is super special. 88 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 3: It's never been done in our program's history. It's something 89 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:31,359 Speaker 3: we're extremely proud about. But these women are amazing, and 90 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 3: whatever is going on shouldn't never outshine or minimize their 91 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 3: work and our success on the world stage. This was 92 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 3: the best American women's hockey team, the best American team 93 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 3: we've ever put together on a world stage when the 94 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 3: lights have been the brightest ever.

So the Utah Royals 172 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: third kit. 173 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 2: I love the Lion. 174 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: I think even the bees around the line are cool. 175 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: But I just cannot get past the America first logo. 176 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 1: I know it's not the Jersey designers problem, but that's 177 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,959 Speaker 1: all I see. And then there's the spirits Cherry Blossoms 178 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 1: one and the Gotham Statue of Liberty. I love the 179 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,719 Speaker 1: idea in both cases, I just hate the execution. I 180 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: don't know what you call that sort of muted not 181 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: fully expressed color, but it makes me a little dizzy. 182 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: The Spirit one looks like a bad print job, and 183 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: the Liberty one looks like when in that old Malrats 184 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: movie when you're trying to see a schooner and you 185 00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: have to stare at it until it changes. 186 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 2: Just not my vibe. 187 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 4: I think pixelated. They both kind of look pixelated. 188 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly, not my vibe. What made your bottom? 189 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 4: Okay, so my bottom? First one is BAFC. I don't 190 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 4: get this one because the league says that there's a 191 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 4: bridge pattern and a poppy color, but I don't see 192 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 4: either of those. 193 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: I see the poppy color. I like the poppy color. 194 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: But yeah, it's one of those again where like there's 195 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: a kind of a pattern hidden, yes, and I'm kind 196 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: of over that. I think that the Angel City did 197 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: that really well last year with like the different landmarks 198 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: from LA, but now everyone's doing it in a way 199 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: that isn't hidden in the same way. 200 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 4: I do like though. On the back it says Trader 201 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 4: Joe's as a sponsor. 202 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 2: There you go, that's a good one. 203 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 4: And then I have to agree with you with Utah 204 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 4: Royals America. Firsts tough, that's tough to get past. Even 205 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 4: beyond that, it feels very been there, done that with 206 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 4: the colors even and the design and then kind of 207 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,839 Speaker 4: similar Portland Thorns. So it's hard for me to get 208 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 4: past the ring sponsorship with the surveillance of it all there, 209 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 4: But beyond that, I think this is just such a 210 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 4: missed opportunity. I think the name Portland Thorns and all 211 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 4: the imagery that you could do with that could be 212 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,079 Speaker 4: really fun and really badass, and this doesn't hit. 213 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I like the color of this one. You know, 214 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: it's not really Portland Thorn's colors. I just like that 215 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: it's bright, and I think sometimes those look really cool 216 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: on the field on mass when the whole team is 217 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: out there, So I appreciate that more than some of 218 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: the boring muted ones. But you're right, it doesn't really 219 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: scream Portland, So i'll give you that. 220 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 4: Maybe we should revisit this after the first games, you know, 221 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 4: to see once we see everybody playing on the field, 222 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 4: do our impressions of these jerseys change? 223 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: Totally agree because some of them are like what does 224 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: it look like to where for you going to a game? 225 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: What does it look like when you kind of dress 226 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: it up and make it look fashionable? And then what 227 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: does it look like on mass on a field with 228 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: the whole team. 229 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 2: So these are just. 230 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: Our preliminary preliminary, Right, I'm gonna give you my top 231 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with a quick honorable mention. I know 232 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: we said top three, but like the Denver Summits inaugural 233 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: Evergreen kit is very simple but really beautiful. I love 234 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: the color and I love the little crest and I 235 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: think it just it like hits and it's simplicity. 236 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 2: The Racing Disco kit. 237 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: I never knew that Louisville once produced ninety percent of 238 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 1: the world's supply of disco balls during. 239 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 2: The disco era. 240 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 4: How fun is that? 241 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:09,439 Speaker 2: Yeah? 242 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: And I don't know if this kit screams disco balls, 243 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: but it does have this like bright color blast that 244 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: I think is going to look cool on the field. 245 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: And I've seen Louisville do this before. The racing kits, 246 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: when you get them all out there kind of look 247 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: really red together. So those are my two honorable mentions. 248 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 1: Going three two one. My third is Angel City. They're 249 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,719 Speaker 1: primary kits called the Flare Kit. It's black with that 250 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: like dusty rose and it's a soul roasa kind of 251 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: sunburst pattern expanding from the center. I think it looks 252 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: awesome by itself, and I think it's probably gonna look 253 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: awesome when they're all. 254 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 2: Out there together. My number two is the Courage Become Kit. 255 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: It's got this deep, deep, beautiful blue color with a 256 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: slightly lighter blue but still dark blue kind of venus 257 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,959 Speaker 1: fly trap pattern, which I didn't know that states have 258 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 1: official carnivorous plants. 259 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 2: I'm only familiar with, like a carnivorous plant, maybe like dew. 260 00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,599 Speaker 1: I didn't know there were enough for every state to 261 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: have its own, But apparently the venus flytrap is North 262 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: Carolina's official carnivorous plant. 263 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 4: That's the only one I know right. 264 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 2: Either way, it. 265 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 1: Looks rad there's these pink accents on the sleeve, there's 266 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: this pop of neon green in the logo, and I 267 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: just think the blue is beautiful. My number one is 268 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: the Pride Unity Kit. Before I read anything about it 269 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: and found out how ball or the meaning behind it is, 270 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 1: I just thought it was awesome. It has these ribbons 271 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: of pastel colors. It totally stands out. Sometimes pastels do 272 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 1: not hit for me, but these are almost almost neon pastel, 273 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 1: and I think it's so beautiful. And then I found 274 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: out that it actually commemorates the ten year remembrance of 275 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: the Pulse night Club tragedy and has these little moments 276 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: on the kit that are speaking to the Pride community 277 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: LGBTQ plus Pride, not just the Pride team. It's a 278 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 1: banger and I'm tempted to get it, even though I 279 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: have literally no connection to Orlando or Florida or this team. 280 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 4: I love that. Okay, Well, I have different tops, Okay, 281 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 4: I did have an honorable mentioned Chicago. I think that's 282 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 4: a really classic design that will stand the test of time. 283 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: Somebody described it as blowke core, which is like so accurate, 284 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,679 Speaker 1: Like you could absolutely see a bunch of blokes outside 285 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,319 Speaker 1: a pub in England wearing that exact kit. 286 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 4: Yes, it also not that I'm thinking about It looks 287 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 4: like Argentina's Yeah, it does it, Okay, And then going 288 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 4: three two one number three for me is the San 289 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 4: Diego Wave. I'm giving them points for switching it up 290 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 4: with the collar design. It has a bright blue, pink 291 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 4: and orange motif that's actually drawn from the tiles in 292 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 4: one of San Diego's parks, which I love that. I 293 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 4: think that's such a unique tie with the city. And 294 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 4: then the fabric of the shirt itself. It looks more 295 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 4: breathable and textured than the other shirts. That might not 296 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 4: be true, but that's what it looks like, and. 297 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 2: Lace it looks like it. 298 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: So I thought there's was boring and I wanted that 299 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 1: whole design throughout, like I wanted more of that design. 300 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 2: But I like the design in the collar. I just 301 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 2: wish it was every fair enough. 302 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,319 Speaker 4: The oatmeal colored shirt is not fabulous. 303 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,599 Speaker 2: It's not going to be flattering on a lot of people. 304 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 2: Skin tell you true. 305 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 4: Moving to my number two is the case current. It's 306 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 4: called this storm Kit, which I think that name matches 307 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 4: this so well. I love the movement and the use 308 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 4: of the bright teal against the navy I think is 309 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 4: the right way to do a bright color Boston. 310 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I know. 311 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 4: I couldn't put Boston in my bottoms because I do 312 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 4: live in Boston and that just felt like I was 313 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 4: hitting too close to home that I do struggle with 314 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 4: the green of Boston's kit. 315 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: Well, and also like, I love bright colors, but I'm 316 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: not really sure what's up with the weird sort of 317 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: puzzle piece looking one that's got the bright pink neon 318 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: and yellow. 319 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 4: It's very nineties. 320 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, but not in like a nostalgic way for me, 321 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: in like a it just looks like a keeper's kit 322 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: like it it looks like a Yeah. 323 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 4: Anyway, my number one, which as this day has gone 324 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 4: on and I've seen everybody's takes, I have realized this 325 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 4: is a hot take.

And 390 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: I'm obsessed with that show and how that show tells 391 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: the story of not just a team, but the whole 392 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 1: town and the whole group of people that. 393 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 2: Contribute to it. 394 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: So why did you want the story of your team 395 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 1: and the historic twenty twenty four to twenty five run 396 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: to be told kind of in that way? 397 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 7: Well, I think, you know, there's a lot of traditional 398 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,199 Speaker 7: docs or things that tell just on the court and 399 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 7: in the locker room, but what I think is missing 400 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:06,160 Speaker 7: is who these women are as young women, as impactors 401 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,640 Speaker 7: of their communities, in how they represent their families. Their 402 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 7: stories are so much deeper than just you know that 403 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 7: Angela is a two time Olympian, for instance, her story 404 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 7: is got all these angles. 405 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 5: Of who she is. 406 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,479 Speaker 7: And so I'm also obsessed with Welcome to Wrexham and 407 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 7: for that reason, right, And I just knew that Jeff 408 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,880 Speaker 7: and Kelsey were the ones to do that and sort 409 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 7: of tell it in a way that most sports docks 410 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 7: aren't told. 411 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 1: So Angela, how did the players feel about the idea 412 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: of having cameras in the locker rooms and it practiced, 413 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 1: especially for you know, tough moments after losses, tears, fights, 414 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 1: players walking out. 415 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 6: The first week, I would say it was definitely very 416 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 6: intrusive and like in certain moments like should you be 417 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 6: recording that? But after a while it was like, okay, 418 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 6: like they're just there and they're going to be there. 419 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 6: And the freshman from this year they thought it was 420 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 6: very weird that like people were following us surround and 421 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 6: for us it was just like, oh, like is this 422 00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:58,640 Speaker 6: another day? 423 00:18:58,880 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 5: You know? 424 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, you start to realize how people on reality shows 425 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 1: forget and do some of the dumbest things you've ever 426 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: seen with the cameras there, Huh. 427 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 2: Yes, and we'll hopefully see that during the show. Yeah. 428 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 2: You know. 429 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 1: Corey Lauren Bett's struggles our future prominently in the dock 430 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,119 Speaker 1: in a way that I think so many will relate 431 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 1: to and find strength then, but also took a lot 432 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: of great strength for her to share those And how 433 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: did you support players whether it was Lauren or Janiah 434 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: Barker with whom you have a pretty emotional back and 435 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 1: forth in the moment. And then also, how are you 436 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: supporting your players now when those scenes are actually going 437 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: to be out for the public to see and react to. 438 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 7: I think it really starts with the trust of the 439 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 7: people that were doing it. We didn't think that anyone 440 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 7: was there to have sort of what they called and 441 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 7: I gotcha moment, right, And so I think if we 442 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 7: didn't have that level of trust, you would not have 443 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 7: gotten that level of authenticity. And so Lauren, you know, 444 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 7: starting with her, I think it's been amazing to see 445 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 7: how her courage has been rewarded. And we were at 446 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 7: Penn State and after the game, a young woman came 447 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,160 Speaker 7: up to her and said, you saved my life when 448 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 7: you shared your story. 449 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 5: You literally saved my life. And wow, Lauren got to 450 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 5: experience that. 451 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 7: You know, when you have the courage to bring all 452 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 7: of who you are to the people around you, you 453 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 7: undoubtedly give somebody else the courage to do the same. 454 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 7: And I think that, you know, Lauren is the most 455 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 7: vivid example because she shared such vulnerable things over the 456 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 7: last you know, eighteen months. But there's a phrase in 457 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 7: our program that all of you is welcome here, and 458 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 7: that is not something to hide, that's something to be celebrated, 459 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 7: and we all have stuff. I'm I think the only 460 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 7: one in the program that's already seen the doc, And 461 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 7: there are uncomfortable moments, for sure, But for the most part, 462 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,120 Speaker 7: it really I just think shows them as incredibly complex 463 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 7: women of care and depth and diversity and struggle. They 464 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 7: come out looking like the most incredibly courageous women that 465 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 7: I already knew they were. 466 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's really hard for people to know 467 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: until it happens what it really means to show all 468 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 1: of yourself and how much more beloved you are for 469 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 1: the faults than you are when you only present the positives. Right, 470 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: just doesn't let people in in the same way. 471 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 2: So you're the only one who's seen it. Will y' 472 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 2: all be watching it together after your game. 473 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 7: We're actually gonna watch it at my house tomorrow. It's 474 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 7: a little party here. Beforehand, I gave them the option. 475 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 7: I said, do you guys want to be surprised? Do 476 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 7: you want to be how do you want to handle this? 477 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 7: And they decided as a team that they wanted to 478 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 7: watch it together before everybody else, because we'll still be 479 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,119 Speaker 7: doing media and all the different things after our game 480 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 7: when the rest of the world gets to see it. 481 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 7: But you know, one other thing I wanted to say 482 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 7: is that I think that you have to have a culture, 483 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 7: and they have created this culture of care for each 484 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 7: other and unconditional love, and unconditional is something that gets 485 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 7: thrown around and very rarely followed through with. And I 486 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 7: think this group they really know how to show up 487 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 7: for each other. And I think that comes out in 488 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 7: the dock, but I also think it comes out and 489 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,399 Speaker 7: just when they watch it together, and you know, weird 490 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,239 Speaker 7: things come out. They've never done this before, But I 491 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 7: just think they have created a culture that it's safe 492 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 7: to explore in that way and to show that part, 493 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 7: and they have done as a playing group, they have 494 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 7: created an environment where it is truly safe to be themselves. 495 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, locker room is such a special place. Getting to 496 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: be on a team is such a special thing, and 497 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: I miss it so much, And I'm frankly very jealous 498 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 1: of the moment they're all going to have together remembering 499 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 1: things that they forgot they got caught on film, or 500 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: moments that maybe at the time we're upsetting, but now 501 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: feel really powerful knowing what they know about how things went. 502 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: You know, Angela sometimes coach close kind of feels like 503 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 1: a real life Ted Lasso, you know, the positivity, the honesty, 504 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: all the quips and aphorisms and sayings. 505 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 2: And some might find it corny, but. 506 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 1: Because it's so authentic, I think most folks find it 507 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 1: really endearing and encouraging the same way they do from 508 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 1: the character. I'm wondering if there's any go to phrases 509 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: that have stuck with you after your undetermined number of 510 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: years playing at UCLA. 511 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 6: This is officially my last just to lift you know, 512 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 6: I have no more that I. 513 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 2: Can just randomly, not a number, but last words. Yeah, yes, 514 00:22:59,600 --> 00:22:59,959 Speaker 2: there you go. 515 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 6: My one regret of my whole time at Ucile is 516 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,120 Speaker 6: not writing down everything that she says, because like one 517 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 6: month is just like she'll use one word or one phrase. 518 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 5: Six times in a day. 519 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,640 Speaker 6: Recently, it's been the bottom line is before we used 520 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 6: to joke around like the Coffee Bean, and like certain 521 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 6: books and phrases that she used from there, and the reality. 522 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 2: Is those are her crutches right now. 523 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 7: I love that your emphasis on corny is really where 524 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 7: it's at I'm really just the corniest one they know, 525 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 7: and so they just roll their eyes at me and 526 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,199 Speaker 7: think I'm silly, and you know whatever else. You know, 527 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 7: they also know I'm a complete fanatic of Ted Lasso, 528 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 7: and so if I could even be half as creative 529 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 7: and poignant as he was, I'd feel lucky. 530 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 5: But I don't think I'm even in the room. 531 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 1: So line from The Holiday, which I watch like several 532 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 1: times every Christmas, I could use a little corny in 533 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 1: my life. I think more people could. So it's a 534 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: good thing to bring to the table. You know, Corey, 535 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: this movie I think is going to be a good 536 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 1: recruiting tool for you. A lot of up and coming 537 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: young players will see you coach and say I'd like 538 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:02,959 Speaker 1: to play for her. 539 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 2: I'd like to be a part of that, maybe even 540 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 2: during d yelling. 541 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 1: But also it was a major nil windfall and it 542 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 1: helped you bring in some big talent this offseason. 543 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:13,880 Speaker 2: So you know, the last time you were on the show, 544 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 2: we talked about this is a whole new job for coaches. 545 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: You've got to be a GM basically a manage a 546 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: whole program, not just coach basketball. Can you talk about 547 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: finding these opportunities where you feel like it's a fit 548 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:24,680 Speaker 1: for the money that it'll bring in for your players 549 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 1: and allow you to recruit and keep them, and also 550 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: the experience that you're going to have doing it. 551 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 7: Can I take you on the road with me, because 552 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 7: I think that's the balance we're trying to find all 553 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 7: the time, right is that you know, how do we 554 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,360 Speaker 7: keep ourselves competitive at the highest levels of excellence and 555 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 7: what is it going to take resource wise to be 556 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,119 Speaker 7: able to make that happen? And there was an important 557 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 7: nil component to this documentary being done and the roster 558 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,880 Speaker 7: that we have right now we would not have without 559 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 7: that financial contribution. The reality is, I know there's a 560 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 7: range that we have to get to between revenue share 561 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 7: as well as legal money above the cap that we 562 00:24:59,160 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 7: can get through NIO. 563 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 5: I'll go that we have to. 564 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,880 Speaker 7: Raise if we want to compete at the highest levels. 565 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 7: That's the reality of our new landscape. And it really 566 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 7: doesn't matter if I like it or not. I have 567 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,360 Speaker 7: to lead to that end. But having opportunities like this 568 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 7: corporate sponsorship really fostering that level of engagement with brand building. 569 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,360 Speaker 5: That's like a big part of my job now. 570 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 7: And yeah, I need to be a CEO and not 571 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:22,160 Speaker 7: just a basketball coach. 572 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, Angela smiling because the bottom line is you just 573 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 1: said the reality is like four times, you. 574 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 5: Know, I didn't even cross iron. That's how ingrained, ingrained 575 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 5: it is. So they put up with a lot. 576 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Well Jianna Neiepkins is basically on this team 577 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:37,919 Speaker 1: because the duck, right. 578 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 7: I mean yeah, not only is she on that team, 579 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,160 Speaker 7: but being able to retain the players that we have, 580 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 7: you know, I mean they I think that's the part, 581 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,159 Speaker 7: is filling in your puzzle from the transfer portal, but 582 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 7: then having retention. Obviously we lost a lot, but we 583 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,400 Speaker 7: gained a lot, and I think you have to trust 584 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 7: the process that you know, you wish those those players 585 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 7: nothing but the best, and I think it all shook 586 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 7: out exactly the way it needed to. You know, we 587 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 7: would not have Gianna Neapkins and we would not have 588 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 7: the retention of who we have right now if it 589 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 7: wasn't for that. And I think we're going to set 590 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:13,199 Speaker 7: the record for players drafted ever from one team in 591 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 7: one class. 592 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 5: The reality is there to go. 593 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,360 Speaker 7: Again, I didn't even know is there is that we're 594 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 7: gonna you know that what doesn't happen without things like 595 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 7: the doc and the financial contribution that that made. 596 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 5: And you know, it's. 597 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 7: Interesting I have the players talk about things they're thankful 598 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 7: for like every other day and every day every day, 599 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 7: you know, in some ways. 600 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 5: But and then when. 601 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:39,120 Speaker 7: She came back from the holidays, she said, I am 602 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,439 Speaker 7: really thankful for Anil. I got to do things for 603 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 7: my family that I never would have thought i'd be 604 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,360 Speaker 7: able to do. And so those are the moments where 605 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:48,880 Speaker 7: you go, Okay, this is. 606 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 5: Really cool too. 607 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 7: Nil gets a bad rap in some ways and how 608 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 7: it's changing the college landscape. 609 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 5: But I'm also really thrilled for. 610 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 7: Our women to be leaders in their own entrepreneurship, to 611 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,639 Speaker 7: be able to give back to their families that have 612 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 7: sacrificed so much. So there's a lot of good and 613 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 7: this dock contributed to Angela being able to say exactly 614 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:11,160 Speaker 7: what she said. 615 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: I love that, Angela, what you do for your fam 616 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,400 Speaker 1: You got some good presence this year, Yeah. 617 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 6: For family and friends. 618 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 2: I did get some good presents, so nice. 619 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 6: And I was also just able to fly there and 620 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 6: back without having to ask my parents, Hey can you 621 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:24,399 Speaker 6: sponsor this trip? 622 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 2: So yeah, definitely nice. 623 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,159 Speaker 1: Your parents are the happiest of all. I was just 624 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 1: still asking for sponsorships from my parents for years on college. 625 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, if you want to see me, you gotta pay 626 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:35,440 Speaker 2: for it. I'm sure. 627 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 1: You know, Angela, You're going to be watching this dock 628 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,399 Speaker 1: and reliving some of the highs and lows of last year. 629 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:45,160 Speaker 1: A heartbreaking loss to USC, the incredible final four run, 630 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: the lost to Yukon, and the aftermath of that. As 631 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 1: you're watching it and comparing, I would imagine to this year, 632 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,159 Speaker 1: how different does this year feel having that year and 633 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: that experience under your belt, and maybe how much is 634 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:56,440 Speaker 1: it the same. 635 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,199 Speaker 6: I think it's mainly different. It's just obviously we have 636 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 6: a different team and a different mindset. But I think 637 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:06,160 Speaker 6: it's also the fact that we have more experience. Last year, 638 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 6: when we got to the final four, it was all, 639 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,239 Speaker 6: you know, bright lights and flashing cameras and we were 640 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,919 Speaker 6: really wide eyed, and I felt like I've been in 641 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 6: that situation before because of the Olympics and because I've 642 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 6: played with my national team at a professional level. But 643 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 6: I just remember like looking around me and saying like, oh, 644 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 6: this is very new, this is very you know, flashy, 645 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,680 Speaker 6: and all this stuff and this can deter us from 646 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,880 Speaker 6: what the main goal is right now, and not that 647 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 6: that was the main thing that you know, turret us, 648 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 6: but I do think that it had a correlation with 649 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 6: why it went the way it did. But I think 650 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 6: this year, when we get to the final four, it's 651 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 6: going to be very much a business like mindset because 652 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 6: we know what we're here to do. As fun as 653 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 6: it will be to you know, be in that situation again, 654 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 6: this year it's gonna be Phoenix, that's gonna be closer 655 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 6: to LA We're going to have hopefully a lot more 656 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 6: fans and all this different stuff. We know that this 657 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,479 Speaker 6: is a business trip. We have unfinished business and at 658 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 6: the end of the day, we want that win. We 659 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 6: want to be cutting down nets and you know, the 660 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 6: confetti and all that stuff. But right now, though, we 661 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 6: all have the mindset of this is one game at 662 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 6: a time, so I'm not thinking past USC. I'm thinking 663 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 6: that's my next game. And then you know, once big 664 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 6: ten tournaments starts and it's like, Okay, who's next, who's next, 665 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 6: Who's next, But right now it's sc and yeah, that's it. 666 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 2: Great attitude. I like how you keep saying business trip. 667 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: In my mind, of course, now I'm on the marketing team, 668 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: and I'm like, we need suits. Everybody needs to be 669 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 1: suited and booted. 670 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 2: Walking into the Final four looking like they're about to 671 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 2: rush a meeting idea, not just a meeting, but a 672 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 2: basketball game. 673 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 5: I love that. 674 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 2: Yes, Corey, how about you? How different does it feel? 675 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 5: It really does feel a lot different. 676 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 7: I think there's just some things you have to experience 677 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,239 Speaker 7: to learn from. You know, there are rare teams that 678 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 7: are immediately successful when they're in that environment. You know, 679 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 7: we were fourteen weeks is number one. We had never 680 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 7: experienced that in our program history. I do think there's 681 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 7: a difference in how people prepare, what that's like, the 682 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 7: outside noise that you have to learn to lead your 683 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 7: team through. And just like I expect them to grow 684 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 7: from those experiences, I expect that of me as well. 685 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 7: And so we just have to keep focused on getting 686 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 7: better every day and investing in each other. I showed 687 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 7: them a video at practice the other day, and it 688 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 7: was teams from hockey, NFL, the NBAA finals, you know, 689 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 7: national champions in college and different sports, different landscapes, and 690 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 7: there were some very consistent themes that strung through those 691 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 7: and it really was about your loyalty to each other. 692 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 7: That there was just this deep investment. There was a 693 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 7: connection that bred great commitment, and there was just a 694 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 7: sense of that, and they all talked about it. We 695 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 7: just need to focus on getting better and stacking wins 696 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 7: and investing in each other. You know, we always say 697 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 7: in our program that success leaves clues, and the clues 698 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 7: that they gave us in that video was keep focused 699 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 7: on those two things and surrender the outcomes. Actually just 700 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 7: let them go and they will follow where they may 701 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 7: if you stay focused on the process of actually what 702 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 7: it takes to get there. But it does feel different, 703 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 7: and I don't think it's better or worse. I just 704 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 7: think it's a stacking of experiences and learning opportunities that 705 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 7: we have going into this year. 706 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think your position being different matters too, Angela. 707 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 2: Does it feel different? 708 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 1: I like chasing and hating someone that people find to 709 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 1: be the undoubted favorite more so than I like to 710 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 1: be chased. I like being on top, I like being 711 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 1: number one, but it feels better at the end than 712 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 1: it does in the middle. Does it feel different with 713 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 1: Yukon having been at the top all season long and 714 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 1: you chasing them as opposed to being the ones getting chased. 715 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 6: No, speaking for myself, I don't really care about like 716 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 6: the rankings and stuff. It's really cool, especially last year 717 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 6: being number one, that was great, but being ranked number 718 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 6: one and number two that doesn't mean anything, you know, 719 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,240 Speaker 6: Like it's whoever wins the last game that means everything. 720 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 6: So yeah, no, I honestly couldn't care less. 721 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 2: Corey. One last question about this team. 722 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 1: You've got the sisters, and the last time we spoke 723 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 1: was around I think. 724 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 2: The Deep Blue. 725 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 1: Women's Sports Conference where you were talking about the very 726 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 1: unique occasion of having two sisters together and what you 727 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 1: expected from them, both in support and potentially a little headbutting. 728 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 2: How is it gone? 729 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 5: You know better than I thought. 730 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 7: Honestly, Sienna is her own person, and she distinctly wanted 731 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 7: her own journey and to be referred to as such 732 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 7: and not as Lauren's little sister, not on any coattails. 733 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 7: To truly give her the freedom to create her own journey. 734 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 7: And she's had tremendous adversity. I mean, she had a 735 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 7: leg injury that kept her out in for a period 736 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 7: of time that really was difficult. But we have really 737 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 7: treated them as separate journeys that they have. I think 738 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,959 Speaker 7: they've gotten along better than they thought. Even in our 739 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 7: senior reception, Sienna actually spoke to that, and I think 740 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 7: that that's been really neat to see. Is I do 741 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 7: think they're going to look back on this year and 742 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 7: go wow, I can't even imagine not having that experience together. 743 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 1: All right, Angela, Ahead of the doc, I know we're 744 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 1: going to learn about you a lot, but I have 745 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 1: a quick speed round. I need to know the most 746 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: stereotypically Serbian thing about you. 747 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 6: What would you say, Corey. 748 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 7: I mean definitely your love of Serbian food. And I 749 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,960 Speaker 7: think that's a big thing because you've taught the whole 750 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 7: team that you've cooked for them your love of that 751 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 7: and to honor your mom, and that is a really 752 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 7: cool part of your Serbian culture. 753 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 2: Yes, okay, that's a good one. What did you make? 754 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 6: Well, my mom made everything, and even I can cook, 755 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 6: but she's just the best chef ever. This past weekend 756 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 6: we had senior Nights, so her and my dad were 757 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 6: here and my mom made chevapi.

Also, I feel like this is just 764 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 6: like random stereotypical. I'm really tall. I feel like a 765 00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 6: lot of Serbians and Balkan people are extremely tall. 766 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 2: So there you go, Yeah. 767 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 1: There you go. 768 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:54,840 Speaker 2: It. 769 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 1: I read that you made t shirts and artwork for 770 00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 1: your high school athletic teams. 771 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 2: What kind of stuff did you make that was? 772 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,960 Speaker 6: Probably, honestly, like senior Night. We had to create shirts 773 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,120 Speaker 6: for Senior Night. So I loved like creating little designs 774 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 6: and everything, and then sometimes I would draw it and 775 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:09,440 Speaker 6: then figure out a way to put on this. 776 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 1: Finally, Coach A Crew is following you again right now. 777 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:14,440 Speaker 1: So will we be getting a part two? 778 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:15,279 Speaker 5: I sure hope. 779 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,759 Speaker 7: So the end of the doc that you're going to 780 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,239 Speaker 7: see on Sunday sort of sets the table for that, 781 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,880 Speaker 7: and we're sort of working through some of the details 782 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 7: right now.

We spent most of the month 817 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,399 Speaker 1: out of the country in an Olympic bubble, but it's 818 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 1: still not lost in us that this year's Black History 819 00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,800 Speaker 1: Month kicked off with the President sharing a racist image 820 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:09,440 Speaker 1: of Barack and Michelle Obama and closed with Democratic Congressman 821 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,840 Speaker 1: Al Green finding it necessary to hold up a handwritten 822 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,160 Speaker 1: sign at Trump's State of the Union speech that read 823 00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:18,399 Speaker 1: black people aren't apes. It's hard to believe we're still 824 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,600 Speaker 1: doing this in the year twenty twenty six. It's hard 825 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 1: to believe. It seems to be getting worse, and frankly, 826 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,840 Speaker 1: the situation we're all in now is just another reminder 827 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:31,000 Speaker 1: that the onus is on us to educate ourselves, to 828 00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:34,240 Speaker 1: speak up, to fight for each other. We just can't 829 00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 1: rely on people in power. We never really could, but 830 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,440 Speaker 1: especially now, and as this month comes to a close, 831 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 1: let's all try to reflect on what we're doing and 832 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,759 Speaker 1: saying and fighting for, because the work doesn't end when 833 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:48,120 Speaker 1: the month does.
