15
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,159

16
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,079
Speaker 1: That's right now.

17
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 3: Now, so the parents to under last.

18
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,759
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, look, I guess you know, I don't

19
00:01:02,759 --> 00:01:05,400
know if it's you know, you've been to these like conventions.

20
00:01:05,439 --> 00:01:08,840
It's like being going to a convention. We're at you know,

21
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,200
you're up and at it every morning. You got shit

22
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,120
going on in the evenings, and you're just on the go.

23
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,439
In Vegas, you already you always have that adrenaline going,

24
00:01:18,079 --> 00:01:19,959
you know, and it's like I don't know what they're

25
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,879
pumping into the hotel air, but it's like there's no time,

26
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,280
there's no time to lean, no time to clean.

27
00:01:26,439 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 3: Take me through it. Okay, So you get there.

28
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:34,159
Speaker 2: So we leave on Friday and we're her first game

29
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,200
is at eight am. Now, when they say eight on

30
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,760
Saturday on Saturday, but they say eight am, they mean

31
00:01:39,079 --> 00:01:43,719
seven am, ready to rock with everything on. So the

32
00:01:43,719 --> 00:01:47,159
thing that I will say that I had going for

33
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:48,760
me is I.

34
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: Take her for granted.

35
00:01:49,719 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: And I'm going to say a lot of things that's

36
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,879
going to sound like a humble brag, but I'm really

37
00:01:52,959 --> 00:01:56,280
just basically telling you like it is. But I will

38
00:01:56,319 --> 00:01:58,840
say I take for granted that Natalia gets her ship

39
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,920
up and ready to go in the morning. You know,

40
00:02:01,079 --> 00:02:03,319
like there's a lot of moms that are like, oh,

41
00:02:03,359 --> 00:02:06,840
I gotta go wake up Ashley. She's like, you know, exhausted.

42
00:02:06,879 --> 00:02:08,879
I gotta to get her up, push her to get up.

43
00:02:08,879 --> 00:02:12,599
It's like, nope, Natalia calls she's she springs out of bed,

44
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,240
calls me to make sure I'm well because I get

45
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:22,000
two rooms, learn my lesson many couple tournaments ago. So yeah,

46
00:02:22,039 --> 00:02:25,199
so she's up and at it. So it's on the go.

47
00:02:25,479 --> 00:02:27,800
We have to leave, so we we have to get

48
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,199
their Friday night because games are first thing and Saturday morning,

49
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,000
so book the flight, flight gets to book, the flight

50
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,800
for like four, gets delayed to five, gets delayed to six.

51
00:02:35,879 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: We don't get in until.

52
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 2: About eight thirty nine on Friday night.

53
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,159
Speaker 3: Isn't it? How you freaking out? Like all my friends

54
00:02:43,199 --> 00:02:45,080
are already here, they're all going to dinner.

55
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 2: No, because everybody was pretty much driving or getting in

56
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,319
around the same time. And it was a holiday weekend,

57
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,159
so the traffic was bad getting everybody was getting there late.

58
00:02:55,199 --> 00:02:56,879
Speaker 1: There was no going out everybody.

59
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 3: Literally I thought of that when you live here, I

60
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,319
guess anywhere you have. I was like, these other parents

61
00:03:02,319 --> 00:03:06,360
are driving, yes, Friday Russia, Yes, exactly.

62
00:03:06,439 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 2: So anyway, so we get in and you know, Natalia's

63
00:03:11,159 --> 00:03:13,680
just like, okay, we're here at the hotel. I'm gonna

64
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,120
go find my friends. They're eating at the food court.

65
00:03:16,599 --> 00:03:20,120
Go check in, and I'm like okay. And so I

66
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:23,199
got to take her suitcase, which is fairly big.

67
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: It's not a travel suitcase.

68
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,599
Speaker 2: Why she has to bring this big as suitcase plus

69
00:03:27,599 --> 00:03:31,599
her two backpacks and my suitcase and my back I

70
00:03:31,599 --> 00:03:31,879
don't know.

71
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 3: Come to the room. All your stuff to the room.

72
00:03:34,199 --> 00:03:35,159
Speaker 1: We pulled up.

73
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: I mean we rolled up to the line. There's a

74
00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:40,840
huge line, and I'm just rolling her shit through the line.

75
00:03:40,879 --> 00:03:43,479
So we're in line. By the time I get to

76
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:48,199
the front, it's like it's getting late. And Natalia asked

77
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,800
me to make sure she has like she wants her

78
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,800
friend to spend the night, so she wants two beds whatever.

79
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: So that takes forever. They find that.

80
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 2: They get the two bedroom, and we're on the safe floor.

81
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,360
We're like a couple doors down from each other. She's

82
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,120
not on the same floor with her friends, but at

83
00:04:05,199 --> 00:04:08,719
least her and I are on the same floor. And

84
00:04:08,719 --> 00:04:12,879
and then you know, we everybody gets settled, everybody's there,

85
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,840
and then I don't know. I was like, all right,

86
00:04:15,919 --> 00:04:19,480
I think, okay, she's in her room. I get everybody's

87
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,800
getting room service or whatever. They're getting food.

88
00:04:21,879 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: They're on there. Everybody's on their own for food.

89
00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 2: I go hang out at the middle bar, go get

90
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:28,879
I'm not I'm gonna go get a beer and go

91
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,959
to bed. I sit in the middle bar and they're

00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:37,519
playing the best music. Really, yes, one beer turned into

93
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,040
three beers. I was like, I was enjoying just sitting

94
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:41,759

95
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:42,759
Speaker 1: I was on the phone.

96
00:04:42,959 --> 00:04:43,959
Speaker 3: Why not, you know.

00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,439

Speaker 1: So I okay.

121
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 2: Here's the other issues with these tournaments. There's two Starbucks

122
00:05:43,079 --> 00:05:45,720
in the hotel, and you know, fifteen sixteen year old

123
00:05:45,759 --> 00:05:47,319
girls love their fucking Starbucks.

124
00:05:47,399 --> 00:05:47,959
Speaker 3: Oh yeah.

125
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: And last time it.

126
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 2: Was like, get up, stand in the long line there.

127
00:05:51,879 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: The app doesn't work. You gotta get in the line.

128
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 2: Line is like it's like a line for like getting

129
00:05:56,519 --> 00:06:00,199
into a concert. Like it's just wrapped around, you know,

130
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,879
just keeps going and go. I mean, and you'll like

131
00:06:02,959 --> 00:06:07,120
you think, oh, six thirty am. Now, no, no, no, no, no, no, everybody,

132
00:06:07,439 --> 00:06:10,639
it's at the Mandalay Bay. Everybody flies in, stays at

133
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,439
Mandalay Bay. It's at the convention center of the Mandalay Bay.

134
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,480
So therefore Mandalay Bay packed all weekend.

135
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,319
Speaker 1: So I guess this sounds horrible.

136
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,199
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you don't even know the half of it.

137
00:06:22,519 --> 00:06:26,279
So I tell Nataliet, look enough with the Starbucks. First

138
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,759
of all, you don't really eat anything. You don't need Starbucks.

139
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,040
Let me get breakfast sent to the room. What time

173
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,199

00:08:01,199 --> 00:08:03,360

175
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: I go to bed.

176
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 2: I set my alarm. I don't know what five fifty,

177
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:09,480
just because I want to make sure.

178
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 3: No, you just just to clarify, yeah, because I feel

179
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,800
like I'm on this train with you. You had your

180
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,399
good time at the bar, then you have to come

181
00:08:18,439 --> 00:08:20,160
back to your room. So now it's ten o'clock. You're

182
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:21,759
trying to do all the things for the next day.

183
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,879
So no better than when you're like a school night

184
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,839
and you're having to think about what they're gonna eat

185
00:08:27,839 --> 00:08:28,319
for lunch the.

186
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 2: Night like that, It's like not not relaxing. No, you're

187
00:08:31,199 --> 00:08:33,879
not on vacation. Oh no, hell no, no, I'm on right.

188
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,279
And by the way, it's not ten now, it's more

189
00:08:36,399 --> 00:08:37,320
like eleven thirty.

190
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: Got back to my.

191
00:08:38,399 --> 00:08:41,919
Speaker 2: Room, right right, So okay, So I do the door

192
00:08:42,039 --> 00:08:45,159
dash thing, I set my alarm, so I go to bed.

193
00:08:45,279 --> 00:08:47,559
All night, I can't sleep because I'm thinking what if

194
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,279
that breakfast doesn't come on am my w which it's

195
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,000
probably not going to well, you can do it, and

196
00:08:53,039 --> 00:08:54,000
it says okay.

197
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,519
Speaker 1: I didn't even like. I'm like, just it's gonna come.

198
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 2: If it doesn't come, i'll just go get them like

199
00:08:58,519 --> 00:08:59,799
something in the hotel.

200
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,519
Speaker 1: Figure it out. But okay.

201
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 2: So like every hour, I'm like waking up, get no sleep. Finally,

202
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,799
around five point thirty, I naturally wake up and I

203
00:09:10,879 --> 00:09:14,080
look at the phone and it says, you know, Shelley's

204
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,000
getting your order, working on your order.

205
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: Now. I was like, oh, thank the Lord.

206
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 2: Right, So anyway, long story short, Shelley gets there. I'm

207
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,639
following her on the map and I tell her. At first,

208
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,240
I tell her meet me at the front desk, and

209
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,200
I'm like, no, if I screw up, now, I'm going

210
00:09:32,279 --> 00:09:35,120
to edit the instructions instead of front desk. Come meet

211
00:09:35,159 --> 00:09:37,960
me by the elevators. I've seen door dash people meet

212
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,159
at the elevators. Oh, go to the elevator elevator banks.

213
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:46,440
And she was right on time with their orders and

214
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,559
got the orders and took it to Natalia's room, fed

215
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,919
them and didn't any order anything for myself because it

216
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,360
was too nervous. Then I went back to her room

217
00:09:57,519 --> 00:10:00,720
ate their leftovers anyway, the first.

218
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: Day, so everything was fine.

219
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 2: So that that was the so far, so good, so far,

220
00:10:04,519 --> 00:10:07,799
so good, so far, so everything a sigh of relief, yes,

221
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,720
and yeah, everything's okay. So and also keep in mind,

222
00:10:12,759 --> 00:10:16,759
this is a new team. There's about five girls from

223
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,679
last year that I know the parents from because we

224
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,720
went to all the conventions together, and then there's a

225
00:10:23,759 --> 00:10:27,759
bunch of new newer parents and new kids on this

226
00:10:27,919 --> 00:10:30,240
you know, so and Italian seems to know pretty much

227
00:10:30,279 --> 00:10:32,799
the other girls as well, from other I don't know where,

228
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:37,840
but anyway, this coach has a hard she's kind of

229
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,120
a hard ass, and she's she's a new coach this year,

230
00:10:41,159 --> 00:10:46,960
and she's pretty tough, and her delivery is not necessarily

231
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,519
the greatest. She girls were in tears last weekend at

232
00:10:50,519 --> 00:10:54,399
the other tournament in Orange County, and you know, they.

233
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,159
Speaker 1: Are a little afraid of her. And so I already.

234
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 2: Was going into this going okay, I'm like bracing for

235
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:04,519
this coach. And so then okay, so the tournament starts,

236
00:11:05,039 --> 00:11:08,840
Natalia's not playing, not playing. Then she puts her in

237
00:11:08,919 --> 00:11:11,440
at the end and she plays.

238
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,039
Speaker 1: God yeah, okay.

239
00:11:14,399 --> 00:11:18,039
Speaker 2: So then throughout their playing their games, okay, and they're winning.

240
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: They're doing really well.

241
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 3: So how many games, Like I'm not familiar with tournaments,

242
00:11:22,639 --> 00:11:25,360
so they start out, how many games are they playing,

243
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:25,879
like in a row?

244
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: So they they they have okay, so they have they're there.

245
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,559
Speaker 2: They have one game, but one game is consistent, consists

246
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:39,519
of three possibly three matches they play to twenty five right, right,

247
00:11:39,639 --> 00:11:41,120
If they win, they play another.

248
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 3: So how many matches do so they play.

249
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:44,879
Speaker 1: Like they have a game.

250
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 2: Then they have off off is like you know, thirty

251
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:49,279
minutes whatever.

252
00:11:49,399 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 3: And do they have to referee?

253
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 2: Yes, then they ref then they play, then they're off

254
00:11:53,639 --> 00:11:54,759
and they ref then they play.

255
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: It's like that.

256
00:11:55,399 --> 00:11:58,879
Speaker 2: It's like all day, like all okay, off raft, ref play, play,

257
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:00,480
especially starting early in the morning.

258
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: Yes, it's not.

259
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 2: And by the way, it's at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center,

260
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,799
huge convention center. Over one hundred courts are playing. They're

261
00:12:08,799 --> 00:12:12,399
on court ninety five, oh god, and the like.

262
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:13,919
Speaker 1: Luckily it's in the same hotel.

263
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,639
Speaker 2: However, the walk from the hotel from the elevators to

264
00:12:18,879 --> 00:12:21,720
the convention center and once you get to the convention center,

265
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,799
you got to get inside and then find her court. Luckily,

266
00:12:24,799 --> 00:12:26,879
she's on the same court pretty much the whole weekend.

267
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,840
And so then that court's another six minute walk from

268
00:12:31,879 --> 00:12:35,039
the entrance. So it's about, you know, a good fifteen

269
00:12:35,039 --> 00:12:39,440
minute walk from the hotel elevators to her court, right,

270
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,240
and it's crowded and it's pas you get closer to

271
00:12:42,279 --> 00:12:46,200
the convention center, there's people everywhere. Everybody's running around, parents

272
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,720
and kids, and it's a big casino as my mother,

273
00:12:50,399 --> 00:12:54,840
the big a Kasha. So everything's okay, and she plays

274
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,519
like you know, they play the first game, you know,

275
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,039
she plays a little bit at the end.

276
00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,519
Speaker 3: I'm like, are you watching the game?

277
00:12:59,519 --> 00:13:01,279
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, I was watching. We were all like

278
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:11,679
front row. Now here's a funny thing. There's this mom. Okay,

279
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,480
she the nicest, sweetest, she's so sweet. Okay, I didn't

280
00:13:16,519 --> 00:13:18,240
know she had this in her Okay, because I met

281
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,399
her like a couple of weeks ago at other games,

282
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,480
talked to her before the game starts, and.

283
00:13:23,759 --> 00:13:26,799
Speaker 1: She's super you know, she's she's she's nice.

284
00:13:26,919 --> 00:13:30,159
Speaker 2: The dad is really nice, and they're so they're kind

285
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,600
of cute with their daughter. They call him by her number,

286
00:13:32,639 --> 00:13:35,879
come on and let's go, and like if she's under stress,

287
00:13:35,919 --> 00:13:39,240
he'll go like daddy loves you. It's really cute. Mom's

288
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:50,559
really nice. She screams throughout every game, none stop, coodn't deal,

289
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,879

Speaker 1: She screamed.

Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh.

favorite file. I love it. So the games are going

321
00:15:28,639 --> 00:15:32,559
and something's going on with Natalia. And Natalia is not

322
00:15:32,679 --> 00:15:36,519
a crier. She barely ever. She just she doesn't cry.

323
00:15:36,799 --> 00:15:37,879
Speaker 1: Just tough. She's tough.

324
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,879
Speaker 2: She's crying. Now she's in tears. And the first team's over.

325
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 3: And wait, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I hate it when

326
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,639
I interrupt. But first, the first game, she barely plays, right.

327
00:15:48,759 --> 00:15:50,960
Then she plays at the end. She plays at the end.

328
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,440
So are you suspecting she's crying because she didn't play?

329
00:15:53,639 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: No, something I her.

330
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 2: I noticed she was playing a different position and her

331
00:15:58,879 --> 00:16:03,200
confidence was deaf, only rattled. And here's the thing. Look,

332
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,720
I think it's a good thing. I think that she

333
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,440
needs this. I think it's good for these kids. It's

334
00:16:10,519 --> 00:16:13,960
hard to watch, but I will say I think it

335
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,480
is a good thing. She she has to know how

336
00:16:16,519 --> 00:16:20,720
to deal with these this kind of you know, conflict,

337
00:16:21,039 --> 00:16:23,360
it's good to grow. Yes, she's not gonna have the

338
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,799
best coach, she's not gonna have the best Botch' not

339
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,480
gonna have the best teammates. Whatever it is she's gonna

340
00:16:28,519 --> 00:16:31,200
have to you know, it's a learning it's good for

341
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,919
her to grow, and it's a good learning EXPERI grit, right,

342
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,759
got resilience, right, I hear it. But it is pretty

343
00:16:37,799 --> 00:16:41,399
hard tough to watch, and especially when she already has

344
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,559
grit too, by the way, like she's you know, she's

345
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,480
pretty disciplined when it comes to volleyball.

346
00:16:46,679 --> 00:16:49,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, And also it's also hard to watch when you

347
00:16:50,039 --> 00:16:51,039
just freaking.

348
00:16:50,879 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: Flew to Las Vegas, put.

349
00:16:53,279 --> 00:16:56,639
Speaker 3: Down a shit ton of money on multiple rooms, being

350
00:16:56,639 --> 00:17:00,159
figured out breakfast got her ass over there, Like do

351
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,920
you right? Does it also need to be a shitty time?

352
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:06,559
Speaker 1: Right? My blood was boiling?

353
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 3: Could be fun, it's fun.

354
00:17:08,559 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 2: So I'm thinking in my head, I'm not gonna sit

355
00:17:10,759 --> 00:17:14,160
here all weekend and watch this. I'm gonna say something,

356
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,440
and then that's gonna be bad because then she's not

357
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:17,160
gonna she might.

358
00:17:17,079 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 1: Take the coach might take it out on her.

359
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 2: I don't know, but these are the things that were

360
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,960
going through my head, Like I don't pay all this

361
00:17:22,039 --> 00:17:23,680
money to sit here and watch my kid cry and

362
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:24,599
barely play.

363
00:17:24,759 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 1: Fuck that.

364
00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:28,759
Speaker 2: So okay, So she plays at the end, but I

365
00:17:28,799 --> 00:17:31,480
notice she's it's hard to tell because she's just always

366
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,680
in the front, but she's middle hitter. She's been middle

367
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,920
hitter forever, all her years of playing. Now she's playing

368
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:42,920
I guess oppo right side, which apparently is usually for

369
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,400
a person with left left hand and a right hand,

370
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:46,720
or could play it anyway.

371
00:17:47,039 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: It's different.

372
00:17:47,799 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 2: It's a whole different angle, it's a whole different strategy,

373
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,000
it's a whole different play, and she's just not used

374
00:17:53,039 --> 00:17:53,319
to it.

375
00:17:53,839 --> 00:17:57,599
Speaker 1: And why is she practice exactly?

376
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:02,319
Speaker 2: Okay, So she's in tears and I could tell she's

377
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:06,440
her confidence is now rattled. And I'm talking to another mom,

378
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,279
same thing happened to her daughter, and not the same thing,

379
00:18:09,319 --> 00:18:11,799
but she her confidence was rattled. She was in tears

380
00:18:11,839 --> 00:18:15,079
at the tournament last weekend in the OC and we

381
00:18:15,079 --> 00:18:17,480
were talking about it and she was like, it is hard, yes,

382
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,400
you know, she didn't know. She was having a hard

383
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,160
time with that coach too, and blah blah blah blah blah.

384
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,480
So you know we're talking about it now. Then there

385
00:18:26,839 --> 00:18:31,079
so I can't talk to Natalia, you know, and because

386
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,440
they're in the middle of games, and then the last

387
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,839
thing she wants is her mommy to come over and go.

388
00:18:35,759 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: What's the man you?

389
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 2: Okay, you know, So then they go on break finally

390
00:18:39,279 --> 00:18:41,119
I can go talk to her, and she's just like,

391
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,480
my coach just keeps putting me in this position. I'm

392
00:18:45,519 --> 00:18:47,039
not used to it, and blah blah blah blah blah,

393
00:18:47,079 --> 00:18:49,039
and then she yells at me. Even when I did score,

394
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,400
she yelled at me because I hit it the wrong

395
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,400
direction and I can't win.

396
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: So it's like if I did hit it the right.

397
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 2: Way, she you know, she she complains if I hit

398
00:18:58,200 --> 00:18:59,599
it the wrong way, she'll still complain.

399
00:18:59,599 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: If I don't, I don't know what to do.

400
00:19:01,319 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 2: Like it's, you know, blah blah blah blah blah and okay.

401
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:10,599
So now throughout Saturday's games, she was constant, like you

402
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,319
could tell, like her confidence was rattled, and and she

403
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,920
was the only person after she comes off, so they

404
00:19:17,039 --> 00:19:20,599
rotate in, rotate out. Every time she came off the court,

405
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,799
she had to sit and talk to the coach's daughter,

406
00:19:23,839 --> 00:19:27,440
who's an adult who obviously plays and she's giving her

407
00:19:27,559 --> 00:19:31,119
tips or so she's something's going on with Natalia. Like

408
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,559
so none of the other teammates do that. They're all

409
00:19:34,599 --> 00:19:36,559
they just go off court. They stand, they're not allowed

410
00:19:36,559 --> 00:19:39,039
to sit, they're standing. Natalia goes right to the daughter,

411
00:19:39,079 --> 00:19:42,799
sits down. They start talking. I see Natalia like just

412
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,920
ball her like she's talking. And then the daughter, who

413
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,359
I found out was really sweet and nice, was like,

414
00:19:49,839 --> 00:19:52,400
you know, like patting her leg like you know, comforting

415
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,519
her and like like Natalia was just like had her

416
00:19:54,559 --> 00:19:57,079
head down and she was like bawling. And then you

417
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,559
hear from the other parents who like seeing her play

418
00:19:59,599 --> 00:20:02,559
last year and stuff like it's hard for them to watch,

419
00:20:02,599 --> 00:20:05,240
Like your daughter is such the team spirit, she's such

420
00:20:05,279 --> 00:20:08,000
a spark plug, and she you know, she was always

421
00:20:08,039 --> 00:20:10,640
so upbeatn positive, and you know, and you know, you

422
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,960
can see like her confidence is getting rattled, and you know,

423
00:20:14,039 --> 00:20:14,680
is she okay?

424
00:20:14,759 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 1: And I'm like, yeah, she's okay, she's okay and everything

425
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:17,160
will be.

426
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,079
Speaker 2: Fine and blah blah blah, and then I, you know,

427
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,640
I go to I go afterwards so that they play.

428
00:20:23,799 --> 00:20:25,880
She's playing a little bit, not as much as she

429
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,279
used to play, or what was used to playing. And

430
00:20:30,039 --> 00:20:32,000
I'm getting upset because I want to see her fucking

431
00:20:32,039 --> 00:20:35,920
play like you know, it was irritating to see them

432
00:20:36,079 --> 00:20:40,680
rotate out. And then her coke counterpart comes in. It's like,

433
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,039
when is she gonna put an Italia in?

434
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 3: You know? Did she ever get to play the position

435
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:45,200
she's used to playing?

436
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 2: No, nope, she got she switched at the tournament. She

437
00:20:51,039 --> 00:20:54,960
practiced this a little bit last week, but she put

438
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,480
her in this position for the tournament.

439
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:57,799
Speaker 1: She didn't.

440
00:20:57,799 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 2: I don't think she knew that. I don't think she

441
00:21:00,079 --> 00:21:03,279
really knew that was what was going on, or she

442
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,039
didn't tell me. I don't know. I don't think she knew.

443
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,079
So I don't think that the coach has very good

444
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:15,839
communication skills. But anyway, so they're doing well and they're winning,

445
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,039
and the more they win, the more they play and

446
00:21:18,079 --> 00:21:21,839
blah blah blah. And then there's like, you know, like

447
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,160
a you know, break, you can go on break. Everybody's

448
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,559
got lunch. Luckily, there's the team mom who I could

449
00:21:27,559 --> 00:21:30,359
never be. This woman, and God bless her. She's the

450
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,240
one that's like, okay, I got pan express. You know,

451
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,720
she collects the money before the tournament from her parents.

452
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,640
She's got the pand Express coming. I'm like, oh, can

453
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,200
you do breakfast and dinner for us to She made

454
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,200
reservations for Buca de Peppo for the whole team and

455
00:21:44,279 --> 00:21:48,359
the families for after for Sunday night.

456
00:21:48,759 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: Okay, Sunday Sunday night.

457
00:21:51,559 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 2: Yes, for the whole team, you know, because then Monday

458
00:21:55,279 --> 00:21:58,000
is more games. But it's going to be like play

459
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,039
to Shock Club.

460
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,559
Speaker 3: Oh oh, never mind, it was a holiday weekend. Nothing. Yeah,

461
00:22:03,559 --> 00:22:05,039
it was a holiday week I was gonna say I

462
00:22:05,079 --> 00:22:08,039
would be surprised that they would schedule games when they

463
00:22:08,079 --> 00:22:09,279
have school, but they weren't.

464
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 2: No, And the next tournament is in a month in April,

465
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:14,720
beginning in April in Vegas.

466
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 3: Oh my god, during spring break. Oh my god. Okay,

467
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:18,640
go on.

468
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 2: So yeah, the team mom's great, so she like plans

469
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,000
this dinner at Buka to Peppo.

470
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 1: So Saturday was rough, and.

471
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 2: Uh, and I talked to Italian a little bit, and

472
00:22:32,039 --> 00:22:35,039
I see, like, I see her crying. She goes off

473
00:22:35,039 --> 00:22:37,720
court her one best friend, Emma's so cute, and she

474
00:22:37,839 --> 00:22:39,920
goes over to talk to Italian. She like puts her

475
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,680
hand on Italian's back and Italian goes like moves away

476
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,920
from her and like like no, no, no, don't come

477
00:22:45,079 --> 00:22:47,359
like I'm okay, I'm okay. And I had to tease

478
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,039
her about that in front of Emma. Later, I'm like,

479
00:22:49,799 --> 00:22:51,880
I thought, I go, Emma, don't feel bad because she

480
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:53,440
pushes me away when she's crying.

481
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 1: And she's like, I know.

482
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,079
Speaker 2: And then they were laughing and I was like, Natalia,

483
00:22:56,079 --> 00:22:57,759
don't be such a hard as your friend's trying to

484
00:22:57,839 --> 00:22:58,200
hug you.

485
00:22:58,720 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 1: Let her hug you.

486
00:22:59,559 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 2: And she's like they were laughing, and so we took

487
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,240
So I was in charge of making reservations. I don't

488
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,119
know how that happened, but I got put on my

489
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:12,440
lap to make reservations on Saturday night and I'm.

490
00:23:12,279 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: Trying to find like a place.

491
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 2: It's Saturday night, it's in Vegas, and there's I guess

492
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,279
ten of us, you know, there's the five girls and

493
00:23:21,599 --> 00:23:24,200
the couple of the parents are going. And so I

494
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,039
got to find table for ten on a Saturday at

495
00:23:27,039 --> 00:23:29,680
like seven, seven thirty because these kids are going to

496
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,319
be tired. They want to go home, you know, go

497
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,920
to bed early, blah blah blah. At this place is

498
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,160
too expensive, this place is too far, this place will

499
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:39,480
take us, but not till nine.

500
00:23:39,559 --> 00:23:41,039
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah blah.

501
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 2: Finally I find this the same steakhouse that I found

502
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,160
last year. It was a little pricey and everybody agreed

503
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:48,559
on it, so we made the reservation.

504
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,079
Speaker 1: So we we went out.

505
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:51,759
Speaker 2: We took the like, you know, a couple of the girls,

506
00:23:51,759 --> 00:23:53,359
and then a couple people dropped out, So it just

507
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,240
turned out to be an Italian like her other three

508
00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:00,359
friends and their moms and went to dinner. And mom

509
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:07,119
doesn't drink, no, John, dare you? I love her though,

510
00:24:07,319 --> 00:24:09,920
I adore her, but she does cocaine right, Yes, we

511
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,839
were doing rails after we put the kids to bed.

512
00:24:13,799 --> 00:24:16,039
Speaker 3: She's like alcohol, just never like the taste to do.

513
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 1: Wants a booger sugar.

514
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 3: All right, So nobody's like partying rights.

515
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,079
Speaker 1: She well, no hold on.

516
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,599
Speaker 2: So the one mom doesn't doesn't drink. And I knew

517
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,720
that because I've known her now a couple of tournaments.

518
00:24:30,799 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 3: Yes, is she sober or does she just not like

519
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:34,839
the taste of it? Because I don't like those kind

520
00:24:34,839 --> 00:24:36,440
of people. She doesn't like to taste it? Yeah, I

521
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:36,880
don't like that.

522
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,839
Speaker 1: She was well, to be fair, she was married before too,

523
00:24:41,839 --> 00:24:47,039
an alcoholic. Oh okay, so yeah, she is, I don't know,

524
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,720
just likes to okay, and she's not.

525
00:24:50,039 --> 00:24:52,519
Speaker 2: I mean, she's great and I love her, but she's

526
00:24:52,519 --> 00:24:53,960
not like if I went to dinner with you, it

527
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,839
would be like a barrel of laughs kind of thing.

528
00:24:55,839 --> 00:24:56,039
You know.

529
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 1: She's just polite and sweet night. There's one of those

530
00:24:58,279 --> 00:25:00,559
nice like last year a drink.

531
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,839
Speaker 2: Yes, last year we had like three or four moms

532
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,480
that had like a purposely got a big sweet so

533
00:25:07,519 --> 00:25:10,599
that everybody could come drink, set up bar in their room,

534
00:25:10,759 --> 00:25:12,519
like you know, where are those moms?

535
00:25:12,559 --> 00:25:15,519
Speaker 1: This year did not? We don't have them anymore. But

536
00:25:15,839 --> 00:25:16,799
then the other.

537
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 2: Mom who came was nice, and I've known her and

538
00:25:20,039 --> 00:25:22,960
Italia is really close to her. I have done a

539
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,279
lot of solids for her, picked her daughter up many times,

540
00:25:26,319 --> 00:25:31,119
including last weekend OC, drove her to the tournaments, and

541
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,640
so she kind of owes me. I don't know what,

542
00:25:33,839 --> 00:25:36,319
but I'm thinking the whole time, this bitch owes me something,

543
00:25:37,039 --> 00:25:39,960
you know, and then like totally forgot that I took.

544
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,119
I was telling like you know, I was telling them

545
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,119
at the dinner table. Yeah, when we came home from

546
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,599
the OC, I got an earful from your daughter and

547
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,759
she was like, oh, that's right, thank you so much,

548
00:25:49,839 --> 00:25:51,759
by the way for taking her last week. I'm like,

549
00:25:51,839 --> 00:25:54,799
m I missed the Super Bowl of her. I mean

550
00:25:54,839 --> 00:25:57,279
not really, but I had to take her and it's

551
00:25:57,279 --> 00:26:01,680
not close and it's away. Yeah, okay, but you're welcome.

552
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:07,079
Thanks for remembering. Anyway, So we went to dinner. It

553
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,400
was nice, the kids had a nice time and blah

554
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:13,119
blah blah. But yeah, and the other moms like, then

555
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,599
there's another mom who's like, I have some medicinal if

556
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,920
you want to come back. I'm like, well, it's not

557
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,079
I can't do that when I'm in Vegas. I just

558
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,799
the only time I can do weed is like I

559
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,519
just got to be at home and not talking to people.

560
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, it's not to make this about me. Yeah,

561
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,799
but the drinking part, Like if I was somebody who

562
00:26:37,799 --> 00:26:40,359
could have a couple of drinks and just like get

563
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,720
my party on a little bit and then be done

564
00:26:42,759 --> 00:26:45,039
by ten and go back to my room or whatever,

565
00:26:46,319 --> 00:26:49,079
I would obviously not have be sober for twelve years.

566
00:26:49,079 --> 00:26:52,400
Because I did. I it never worked out. For like,

567
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,240
my personality is not fun when I'm drinking, only because

568
00:26:57,279 --> 00:26:59,799
then you have to worry about me because I don't know,

569
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,200
like I don't, I can't. I don't have three drinks.

570
00:27:02,799 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 1: And like I can do that in Tulac, like I used.

571
00:27:05,759 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 3: To get drunk, yeah, and then and then I don't.

572
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,160
Then I say shit or I just or I just

573
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,240
like don't feel well, and then I have to go

574
00:27:14,319 --> 00:27:15,640
back to my room and then I can't wake up

575
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,519
in the morning, and it's just like it's no. I

576
00:27:17,599 --> 00:27:20,680
never could find that sweet spot of just having a

577
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,880
few drinks and relaxing right right.

578
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:24,519
Speaker 1: I sawt that.

579
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, for so many years, I was like, if I

580
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,279
could just have three drinks and like, I know, not

581
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:31,599
feel kind of drunk and go.

582
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 2: Let's have more, let's do shots, right right.

daughter's breakfasts in the morning. Right, you're welcome. And by

708
00:32:52,359 --> 00:32:53,839
the way, I did it two nights in a row.

709
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,559
I got the door dash. Nobody ever offered money or

710
00:32:57,599 --> 00:33:01,039
anything interesting. I don't care, but it's like it's all

711
00:33:01,119 --> 00:33:04,960
noted though, you know, it's like, come on, what the yeah,

712
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,680
this is not a free ride, like can I offer

713
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,359
you money for forgetting like instead it's like thank you,

714
00:33:11,359 --> 00:33:14,400
you know. And the one mom who I've been driving

715
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,680
her kid like I'm still waiting for a payback, you know,

716
00:33:17,839 --> 00:33:22,920
and got her breakfast two days in a row. Hello, yeah, okay,

717
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:27,759
So now it's set. Now we're into Sunday. Now, okay,

718
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:32,079
Sunday was a rough day, but competitively okay, So Sunday

719
00:33:33,119 --> 00:33:38,680
is a competitive day. And it's like they're doing really well.

720
00:33:39,359 --> 00:33:43,759
They're in the gold and they're they're kicking ass. And

721
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:47,799
Natalia was playing and she was getting some playtime. So okay,

722
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:52,920
so Sunday comes. So there's this. They played on Sunday.

723
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:57,359
They were at the court at eight am until they

724
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,880
didn't finish until nine thirty.

725
00:34:01,519 --> 00:34:03,079
Speaker 1: Of course, they had their breaks and their.

726
00:34:03,039 --> 00:34:06,799
Speaker 2: Lunch in between, but they were on the go on

727
00:34:07,079 --> 00:34:09,880
call because some games were running late, so they couldn't

728
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:11,719
play on time. They had to wait till they couldn't

729
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,960
go back and hang out. They had to stick around

730
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,239
the courts. It was a lot of that, and I

731
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,519
luckily Natalia will go I'll just you know, before she

732
00:34:19,559 --> 00:34:21,599
puts her phone away in her bag, she'll go, we're

733
00:34:21,599 --> 00:34:23,760
playing and then I then I know when to come,

734
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,360
so I'll have to sit around with my thumb up

735
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,440
my ass and let me tell you something, it's a

736
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,840
little it's pretty lonely when you go to these things

737
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:35,039
for me because I see, like all these kids, they

738
00:34:35,079 --> 00:34:39,760
have both parents there pretty much except from like Natalia's

739
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:43,719
one friend, although her friend who I was with, they rotate.

740
00:34:44,079 --> 00:34:47,199
So next month I'll be hanging out with her dad.

741
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,559
You know, they they rotate. And then the other mom

742
00:34:50,639 --> 00:34:53,199
is remarried and she's got, you know, her new husband

743
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,400
who doesn't have kids. He's a stepdad, but he comes

744
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,239
and he's there a few days and then leaves, like

745
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:01,320
so they all it's it's nice because that way, it's

746
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,639
like you're not she's out of water, who's got to

747
00:35:03,639 --> 00:35:05,079
go get it? Me? I gotta go, you know, I'm

748
00:35:05,199 --> 00:35:07,639
running to go get her water. She forgot her her

749
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:08,920
tagging her bed upstairs.

750
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:09,679
Speaker 1: I gotta go get it.

751
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,039
Speaker 2: You know. It's like it's nice when people have that

752
00:35:12,519 --> 00:35:16,480
somebody with you, you know. Luckily, I got earbuds and I'm

753
00:35:16,519 --> 00:35:19,320
listening to music. I'm listening to ice cubes. I'm like

754
00:35:19,519 --> 00:35:21,960
seven thirty in the morning walking down to the convention

755
00:35:22,039 --> 00:35:26,119
center getting pumped up, you know, and but it's it is.

756
00:35:26,199 --> 00:35:29,360
It's like and then there's the downtime where I'm like, Okay,

757
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:32,039
I gotta start ordering furniture for my condom, starting to

758
00:35:32,079 --> 00:35:33,679
do that, but then I end up talking on the

759
00:35:33,679 --> 00:35:35,880
phone and Sonny wants me to go place bets and.

760
00:35:36,199 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah.

761
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 2: But like it it is, it's kind of it's pretty lonely.

762
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,480
You know. I'm not saying WHOA was me. I'm just

763
00:35:42,519 --> 00:35:45,719
saying it's that's what it's like. It's like you're there

764
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,480
for like three days and just wandering around.

765
00:35:48,559 --> 00:35:48,760
Speaker 1: You know.

766
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,039
Speaker 3: I gotta imagine though, that other I can't imagine all

767
00:35:52,119 --> 00:35:55,280
these people, both both people and the couple being there

768
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,480
like you're there. If Albi was doing that, only one

769
00:35:58,480 --> 00:35:59,119
of us would go.

770
00:35:59,320 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, one of.

771
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:01,519
Speaker 3: Us would have to be home with the other two kids.

772
00:36:01,639 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 1: Yeah no, the kids come. It's a whole family vacation.

773
00:36:04,599 --> 00:36:06,280
Speaker 3: Oh no, oh yeah no, I wouldn't.

774
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 2: Maybe it's because probably this weekend was a three day weekend,

775
00:36:10,599 --> 00:36:12,199
or you know, it was a President's weekend.

776
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 1: I'm guessing.

777
00:36:13,559 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 3: So no, I feel like that kind of stuff to

778
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:17,039
me is like divide and conquer.

779
00:36:17,199 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 2: I agree, but there's a lot, a lot of the kids.

780
00:36:20,079 --> 00:36:21,159
The whole family was there.

781
00:36:21,599 --> 00:36:25,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean also just for me, that's an expensive trip.

782
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:29,440
Then taking all five, you know, our of us there,

783
00:36:30,039 --> 00:36:33,320
getting somebody to watch the dog, you know, having every

784
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,880
getting multiple hotel rooms, all the meals, and I would

785
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:38,119
just think that would be a pain in the ass.

786
00:36:38,199 --> 00:36:40,960
I would just have one person go man Noyea.

787
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,599
Speaker 2: A lot of the parents, they the whole family's there,

788
00:36:43,599 --> 00:36:44,480
both parents.

789
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 3: And does Adam ever want to do one of these?

790
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 2: He would if he wasn't. He was out of town

791
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,880
this weekend. I don't know what the exact dates are

792
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:53,760
for the next one, but I will let him know

793
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,400
and we'll see. But then there's Natalia who wants me.

794
00:36:56,559 --> 00:36:58,199
But of course Adam's not going to get our door

795
00:36:58,320 --> 00:36:59,880
dash in the morning. He's going to tell her get

796
00:36:59,920 --> 00:37:02,559
up and go get your Starbucks or maybe he will.

797
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: I don't know.

798
00:37:03,079 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 2: Maybe, I don't know. It's never done it, so we'll see.

799
00:37:05,559 --> 00:37:08,920
But if you're Natalia, you want your mama there. But yeah,

800
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:12,800
So the bottom line was Sunday was a stressful date.

801
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:16,559
Natalia played a lot, and then towards the end they

802
00:37:16,599 --> 00:37:20,920
were getting crushed by this team from Bakersfield. And it

803
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:24,599
was a stressful game. Everybody was crowded around because the

804
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,199
club that they're in, all the other teams, the older one,

805
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:30,480
the older girls, the younger girls were done. It was

806
00:37:30,519 --> 00:37:34,760
at Sunday night, at like nine o'clock. They were all gathered.

807
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:36,960
It was an exciting game as neck and neck. And

808
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,599
as soon as the game was done and the Natalia

809
00:37:40,679 --> 00:37:42,880
kicked ass. She played, she played the new position and

810
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,880
she was doing good and then at the very end,

811
00:37:46,199 --> 00:37:48,440
she just broke down and she ran off to the

812
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,920
bathroom was crying. And I didn't see that. And one

813
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,320
of the parents was like, Natalia, just is she okay?

814
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,400
She just ran off to the bathroom. So I go

815
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,679
to the bathroom. I'm like, what is going you know,

816
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,800
what's going on? And she said, you know, I'm not

817
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:03,880
used to this position. And then one of one of

818
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:07,440
her teammates yelled at her. This girl is a sweet girl.

819
00:38:07,519 --> 00:38:09,800
She's known the Italian her have been on the same

820
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,480
team for a few years now and they do butt

821
00:38:12,519 --> 00:38:15,760
heads sometimes because she's really intense and Italian's intense and

822
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,559
this girl's and she yelled at her and she's like,

823
00:38:18,639 --> 00:38:23,239
you know Tara's not setting me up. And Tara's you know,

824
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:24,679
was like, I'm not going to set it to you

825
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:25,760
because you're not hitting it the.

826
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:26,800
Speaker 1: Right blah blah blah blah blah.

827
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 2: She's coming down on me and I'm not used to

828
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,880
the position and lah lah, and she's crying, and I'm like,

829
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,199
we're in the corner and she's telling me everything. And

830
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,400
then I see the corner of my eye her coach

831
00:38:38,079 --> 00:38:40,480
was in the bathroom and can hear her. And her

832
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:43,000
coach comes over and now this is the first time

833
00:38:43,119 --> 00:38:46,199
I can hear her what her coach sound talks like

834
00:38:46,639 --> 00:38:48,800
what she's saying, I mean not you know what, I

835
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,000
want to hear what this coach has to say in Natalia.

836
00:38:51,519 --> 00:38:54,199
So she's upset and she's like she comes over, she

837
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:55,880
puts her hand on her back and she's like, what's

838
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,639
going on? Huh, tell me what's going on? And she

839
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,519
tells her and she's like, you know, Tara's yelling at

840
00:39:01,519 --> 00:39:03,719
me about this blah blah blah blah blah. And she's

841
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:06,880
listening to Italian and she's like, look, I know I

842
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:10,199
have thrown you into a position that you're not comfortable with,

843
00:39:10,679 --> 00:39:13,320
and you're not you know, it's not familiar, she said,

844
00:39:13,639 --> 00:39:18,000
but I oh. And Natalia told me she had the

845
00:39:18,039 --> 00:39:22,519
opportunity to go to another team. She's on sixteen thunder.

846
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:26,000
There's a seventeen thunder needed position in the beginning of

847
00:39:26,039 --> 00:39:29,119
the season, they asked her, but her Natalia's coach talked

848
00:39:29,119 --> 00:39:31,239
her out of it. And so Natalia when she was

849
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:32,920
crying to me the day before, I could have went to.

850
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:34,679
Speaker 1: The other team and blah blah blah.

851
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 3: You know.

852
00:39:35,039 --> 00:39:37,280
Speaker 2: So, so the coach comes over and she says, listen,

853
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,199
I know it's a stressful thing. I know I threw

854
00:39:39,199 --> 00:39:41,639
you into this, but I did it on purpose because

855
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,519
I wouldn't have wanted you to. I see that you

856
00:39:45,599 --> 00:39:48,239
have talent, and I see that you can do that

857
00:39:48,559 --> 00:39:50,559
you can take on this position. I see that you

858
00:39:50,639 --> 00:39:55,039
have potential and you know, dominating in that position, and

859
00:39:55,199 --> 00:39:58,559
we need you in that position. And if I didn't

860
00:39:58,599 --> 00:40:00,199
see this and I didn't think you could do, I

861
00:40:00,199 --> 00:40:01,559
would have let you go to the other team in

862
00:40:01,599 --> 00:40:04,239
the beginning of the season. And she said, Natalia, I'm

863
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:07,519
really proud of you. I know you have the potential,

864
00:40:07,519 --> 00:40:09,960
and I know it's stressed. And she's like listen, this tournament,

865
00:40:10,039 --> 00:40:12,960
this weekend is for fun. It's just fun. It doesn't

866
00:40:13,039 --> 00:40:16,400
mean anything. Just try to enjoy it. I know it's

867
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,400
easier said, but just try to enjoy it.

868
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 1: It's just for fun. And you know Tara, you know

869
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:21,920
she You.

870
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 2: Guys go back a long way. You understand her. She's

871
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,079
just coming from a stress. It was a stressful game.

872
00:40:27,639 --> 00:40:30,119
You guys did great. I'm proud of you. I'm proud

873
00:40:30,119 --> 00:40:32,480
of you as a player, and I know that you can.

874
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:34,800
You can do it, so I wouldn't be pushing you

875
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,440
like this weekend and I'm doing this on I have

876
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:38,480
a vision for you.

877
00:40:38,599 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 3: So she thinks that this position is better suited for

878
00:40:41,039 --> 00:40:41,840
her than middle hitter.

879
00:40:42,039 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 2: Yes, and the team for her team at this point

880
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:45,920
in time.

881
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:47,119
Speaker 1: Yeah.

882
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 3: So, but if she'd gone to the other team, she

883
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:51,159
could have stayed as the center.

884
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 1: Oh no, probably.

885
00:40:52,679 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, but she said that I need you in this

886
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,960
position for this team, and I know that you can.

887
00:40:59,039 --> 00:41:00,840
You've gotten She said, how long have you been playing

888
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:01,360
middle hitter?

889
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 3: You know?

890
00:41:02,079 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 2: Natalie's like since I was in whatever, I don't even

891
00:41:04,519 --> 00:41:06,559
know how long. She's been playing since like seventh grade

892
00:41:06,639 --> 00:41:09,400
or something, and she's like, it's time.

893
00:41:09,159 --> 00:41:12,039
Speaker 1: For you to grow and to learn another position.

894
00:41:12,559 --> 00:41:14,159
Speaker 2: And she's like, I'm going to be doing it with

895
00:41:14,199 --> 00:41:16,519
the other girls too, and other position. I don't want

896
00:41:16,559 --> 00:41:19,119
you getting comfortable in the same position when I especially

897
00:41:19,159 --> 00:41:21,960
when this team needs you as oppo whatever her position

898
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:25,840
that she's putting her in. And I was like, she

899
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,920
just did. I was like, Okay, now I understand where

900
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:33,559
this coach is coming from. Her delivery sucks, right, but

901
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,599
I see that she does. You know, she's doing this

902
00:41:37,639 --> 00:41:40,199
for a reason. She's not just fucking with Natalia or whatever.

903
00:41:41,639 --> 00:41:44,480
And that's why she's having her sit out and talk

904
00:41:44,519 --> 00:41:47,119
to her dodge and my daughter played that position. That's

905
00:41:47,159 --> 00:41:49,920
why I want you talking to her, you know. And

906
00:41:50,079 --> 00:41:51,599
like she joked around. She's like, would you think I

907
00:41:51,639 --> 00:41:53,599
would let you sit down if I didn't think, you know,

908
00:41:53,599 --> 00:41:55,840
because the girls aren't. She's like, because as soon as

909
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:57,960
she came off, she she was able to sit and talk.

910
00:41:58,239 --> 00:41:59,960
She's like, you're lucky I let you sit I don't

911
00:42:00,079 --> 00:42:01,920
so like she's joking with her. And she made her

912
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:05,679
feel better. She made me feel better, and then and

913
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:06,079
then it.

914
00:42:06,079 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 1: Was then the rest.

915
00:42:07,159 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 2: Well, I wish she would have had this conversation at

916
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,960
the beginning of the weekend instead of Sunday night, right

917
00:42:13,039 --> 00:42:16,320
after watching her cry all these crimes is right, And

918
00:42:16,519 --> 00:42:19,199
maybe she did. I don't know the conversation. I saw

919
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:23,320
her talk to Natalia multiple times, and I saw Natalia like,

920
00:42:23,599 --> 00:42:25,320
you know, nodding her head and wiping her tears and

921
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:26,880
she you know, had her hand on her shoulder and

922
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,639
you know, but you know, Natalia doesn't fill me in

923
00:42:29,679 --> 00:42:32,559
that much. And I was like thinking, Okay, I'll get

924
00:42:32,599 --> 00:42:35,480
all the info on the way home, and we're traveling home. However,

925
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,960
come Monday, they had to play again and they kept winning,

926
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,519
and so I had to fly home and Italia had

927
00:42:41,519 --> 00:42:46,400
to get a ride home from the payback sister. Finally,

928
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:50,000
I'm like, can you drive Natalia home? And she's like really,

929
00:42:50,079 --> 00:42:52,000
and I was like yeah, and she's like, well, you know,

930
00:42:52,079 --> 00:42:53,400
she's not going to get home. We're not probably not

931
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,280
getting home until ten. I go, well, I don't know

932
00:42:56,280 --> 00:43:00,079
what to do. They're still they're still playing, and so

933
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:01,920
she was like, oh, yeah, yeah, sure, sure, sure, and

934
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:04,880
then she said I have my small car. So I'm like,

935
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:08,440
I'll take her suitcase with me, big ass suitcase. I'm

936
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,400
like that, that's fine, I'll take that with me. And

937
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,039
so Natalia got home at like ten o'clock last night.

938
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:17,159
I got home at seven, and they played and then

939
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,519
they lost and that was it.

940
00:43:19,599 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 1: And it was a jam fucking packed weekend.

941
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 3: So so wait, they didn't play Monday.

942
00:43:26,639 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, they played yesterday, so they played all day.

943
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 3: Okay, So and then did she do better that day

944
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:34,440
after having had that talk with.

945
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 1: The car, Yes, she played awesome.

946
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 2: She played all the whole time, and she that same position,

947
00:43:39,519 --> 00:43:42,400
in that position, and she did great, and she's happy

948
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,960
and she was cheering. She was a different she got

949
00:43:45,039 --> 00:43:47,280
like she I felt like she got her confidence back,

950
00:43:47,639 --> 00:43:50,119
especially after that talk. But I wish she would have

951
00:43:50,119 --> 00:43:53,000
fucking had a talk, right, what the fuck? And by

952
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:54,599
the way, she wouldn't have had that talk. She hadn't

953
00:43:54,599 --> 00:43:57,760
seen Italia crying in the bathroom, you know what I mean? Right,

954
00:43:58,119 --> 00:44:01,840
And maybe she did, I don't know. But then I

955
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,239
after she left, I'm like, you've seen Italian. I think

956
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:06,400
that she's coming from a good play like so I'm

957
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:09,360
like making sure she understood everything. She you know, she

958
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,880
really took it in finally and she was like yeah,

959
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:14,039
and then she felt better, and fuck Buka de Peppo.

960
00:44:14,159 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 1: We did not go because we didn't get done playing

961
00:44:16,559 --> 00:44:18,920
till late. And that was that.

962
00:44:19,119 --> 00:44:20,280
Speaker 3: So how did you get food that night?

963
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 1: Went to the food.

964
00:44:21,119 --> 00:44:23,559
Speaker 2: Court right outside the thing, got a slice of pizza,

965
00:44:23,599 --> 00:44:26,320
went to bed, bye bye bye.

966
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:28,800
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. I feel like I've been on a

00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:34,400
