And it's out of necessity too, right? Like they've had the fight and they've had like, this is how we've grown up. So I think it is just a part of who we are as female athletes. It's what I always say. It's the, it's the greatest part, which is why there's such loyalty.
I think too, when you see, you know, women's sports fans because of that side of it as well, that they're more than just athletes. They care deeply. Yeah.
Current or recent that would have fit right in? Um... Well, Sid would have.
Uh, let's see of the, what about of the current team? That's a great question. I've actually never thought that. Oh, you know, who's very old school. Um, who totally I see is 99 or Sam coffee. Yeah. I agree with that. I really agree with that. Yeah. Oh yeah. She is an old soul. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Like she gets it like that. Jen, that, you know, like she's, she's, she's impressive. I love Sam. Yeah.
Because it will be weird, Julie. Is it going to be weird if we're like on the balcony in our robes with a coffee right next door and be like, good morning? She's like, don't do that.
Yeah, I had to talk my husband down from like, he's like, let's get a house. I was like, no, let's not.
Let's buy a new jean. I was like, no, no, no. Give her some time. Oh, I know. It's such a hard shift though. Like being, you know, you're a little girl, all of a sudden you're like, okay, you're off and you want to fly. So yeah, you're like, okay, go get it.
Oh yeah. It's, I keep saying to her, you're going to be fine. I'm going to be fine. And then I turn around and I'm like, yeah, it's hard. It's hard. And, but like that, the other thing is, it's like, and I think, you know, she's going through all her senior activities with high school and graduation and, you know, the last brunch and senior awards. And, and so it hits them hard too.
Cause it's the last of everything. Yeah. But then I also think like you do want like to miss it, of course, because it's high school and you want those great memories. But like you also want your kid to just thrive and be independent and do her thing. And so as much as it's so sad, it's like so refreshing, too, because she didn't want it. She didn't want to stay in California.
She wanted to try a different state. Right. And she still is on the West Coast. But yeah. It's going to be different. It's going to be a different vibe. I'm like, get out of Orange County. Try something else than Orange County. You've got to see and live and do something else.
That was not allowed.
I am. Yeah. And I, and I mean, and she's going to the big 10, it's going to be hard. Like it's all good challenge. And she was ready for that. She actually said, you know, staying in California feels too comfortable and I'm ready for the challenge. I'm like, yes. So she will be great. I will be great. We will be fine. Everything is fine.
Oh, gosh. Yeah. That one was a hard one. Hardest story I've ever done. Yeah. So Katie Meyer was a former player and captain who played at Stanford who died by suicide in 2022. And I just remember at the time, because she was such a force of personality and a presence. And I didn't know Katie well.
I had met her, of course, through Stanford and calling the national championship that they won in 2019. And and knew of her big personality. And so for all of us in the Stanford community, and I think anyone who knew Katie, it came as a huge shock when we found out that she died by suicide. And. I, of course, had a lot of questions.
And so after doing a lot of digging, and I took a year before asking her parents because I knew they were grieving. And you just can't imagine. It's every parent's nightmare, right, to get that call and said, hey, I'd really like to tell Katie Meyer's story and your story. and really shine a light on how amazing she was as a human being.
And they were, I mean, talk about an inspiration to see Gina and Steve, her parents, in this process of grieving your daughter daily. And this is a process that started two years ago. So we spent two years with them. um, doing this story. And I'm, I'm incredibly grateful that they were willing to trust us and share it with us because what they had to do was relive a lot of it as well. Right.
You're asking them to go back to this day, this moment, the, you know, these memories. And so, um, It was incredibly hard on them. It's hard on a lot of people. And so for them to share as much as they did and be willing to trust us to tell her story was amazing. And it was hard for me as a Stanford alum, right? Because we pointed out that there were things that I think in Stanford...
actually with their own investigation, before Katie actually took her life, found that their process, their disciplinary process was flawed. I won't give away too much of the story, but it gets into a lot of that. And it really should have been like a three-part series. There's so much that we could still tell about Katie and her life.
But the most important thing we wanted to get across is how amazing she was and Katie was and how... How Gina and Steve have taken that pain and turned it into purpose and really have passed Katie Myers law. There's a bill that's passed to try and prevent this from happening, this tragedy happening to other families. But it just eats you every day. You're like, man, that's a hard one.
