Hi we’re back for free agencyyyyyy!First, we recap how many teams we’re working with here in the American volleyball landscape for 2027. Then, Nikki responds to the online discourse. You can’t expect her to be online and not respond to the discourse, right???? Right. Please skip to like 30 minutes in if that’s not what you’re here for 🙂Free agency breakdown includes new coach updates, the latest roster rules, and major headlines from the first week of free agency: Omaha and Indy got busy, Minnesota has a solid start, and Atlanta and Grand Rapids return some key pieces. We’ll give you some gossip on where some players are rumored to be coming and going, but only time will tell!Check out the Content, including video replays and highlights, on the Voli app!

Congratulations to the Dallas Pulse, MLV’s first ever first-year franchise to win a championship!Nikki and Kelly tell us about their time visiting Frisco for the semifinals and finals - everyone gives their rose and thorn from their respective viewing experiences (even Ian, who watched every minute on ION). We talk through each match and our reactions, as well as gossip heard throughout the venue over the weekend - we gotchu.Nikki also tells the crew what she’s hearing about free agency per her social media lurking (because they’re just not on it enough), and offers an Extremely Good proposal on what next year’s schedule should look like. Thank you for your consideration, MLV!Thanks for a great season, Captains! Thank you for your support! We’ll jump back in this summer when free agency announcements start up. Till then, don’t forget that thing we always say!Check out the Content, including video replays and highlights, on the Voli app!

Regular season is officially over, it’s time for the championships!We start the episode off with the terrible news that San Diego Mojo won’t be returning next year. We are a bit glib about this in the episode, and are mostly a bit confused about the league’s decision to announce a “12” team league that followed two days later - but Mojo fans, we love you and we’re sorry :( We talk about a few of the final matches of the season, and then we give our estimates for MVP, Coach of the Year, etc. THEN we do our Court Captains Superlatives, including Best Rental Car Driver and Most Likely to Lose their Kneepads.If you see Nikki and Kelly in Dallas, come say hi!

In true us fashion, some pretty big MLV news hit the airwaves about 14 hours after we finished recording… so no responses to the Mojo news in this ep, but we’ll get into that next week.Today we talk about the free agency period (spoiler we are in it right now) and what we know officially and unofficially about the rules for who can sign and when. Then, we go over this past week’s performances (Omaha and San Diego are in!) and talk through how we will get to the official 3rd and 4th seeds (it’s anyone’s game!) Nikki and Kelly say a lot of things at the same time, drink every time you hear one!Thanks for sticking with us this season and tune in next week for a season 3 recap!Check out the Content, including video replays and highlights, on the Voli app!

Sorry for the late post this week - play has already started so some of these playoff implications may be a bit out of date, but we hope you listen anyways :)We talk about last week’s VERY stimulating VERY exciting matches - we are getting closer to knowing the playoff picture. Omaha and San Diego do some SWEEPS against Orlando and Atlanta. For Omaha: their blocking game is super strong, Merritt Beason is producing, and Brooke Mosher is getting the start. San Diego is improving all parts of their game - middles are playing great, outsides are consistent, and Alisha Childress sprinkled her magic dust?Get ready to know the absolute final playoff picture this weekend!Check out the Content, including video replays and highlights, on the Voli app!

It’s getting so exciting up in here, is it not?!?!?! We think 4 teams have the most potential for the last two spots in the playoffs: San Diego, Omaha, Orlando, and Atlanta. We have THOUGHTS - and this is gonna be a huge week.But before that? We talk free agency gossip. John Cook, GM of the Supernovas, has been on the mic proclaiming 9 signed players for next year. Our Grand Rapids friends say THEY have signed a ton of players for next year, per season ticket holder event tea! We speculate on the new rules for free agency and talk pros and cons.Who do you think is making the playoffs?

Hey, Captains! Nikki’s feelings have changed regarding Omaha, we talk about that and her fun visit last week to watch the Supernovas take on Indy. We listen in on some press conference excitement (some of the last we’ll hear from Luka!). As we near the end of the season, who could secure those last two spots for playoffs? We speculate and more!Check out the Content, including video replays and highlights, on the Voli app!

Hey, Captains! On this week’s episode, we give our reactions to the All-Star game and their weirdo 3-set match / ghost bonus point format, Nikki reviews MORE injury updates and late season signings, we give some updates to team ownership - including Ian reading through some online paperwork and Discord gossip about a guy who may or may not want to buy the Vegas Thrill. Disclaimer: we do not know for sure if this is the same guy, or if this is a legitimate ownership inquiry. We’re entertainers, not journalists!! Then, we review the matches from this week. Indy takes an L, Columbus gets their first Dub at home, and Orlando leaves us a bit confused. So many teams in the running for the playoffs?!?!?!? Who’s excited for some big April volleyball?! Don’t forget to say hi to Nikki in Omaha on Saturday! Check out the Content, including video replays and highlights, on the Voli app!
