Practice. Class. Treatment. Homework. Game. REPEAT- Week 10 of The Big Life Podcast · The BIG LIFE

0:00
Welcome back to the Big Life Podcast. It's week 10, and this week it's me, Jaden, and Ali-Hoo.
0:07
We're catching up with you guys on Soccer in Life, but we've also realized that
0:11
our weeks are starting to look pretty much identical.
0:14
Yeah, different opponents, same schedule, practice, class, treatment,
0:18
homework, game, repeat. So today we're going to be talking about that,
0:21
what we thought college was going to look like versus what it actually looks
0:23
like, and some things we might need to defend ourselves for.
0:27
So yeah do you want to start let's introduce Allie though because Allie you're
0:32
our guest because you're you're Jaden's teammate so you're just kind of like
0:35
you know right with her yeah oh hey guys.
0:40
Okay guys backstory Allie's from Modesto but Central Valley right she's from
0:46
NorCal she's a NorCal and she played on my club team and so I've known Allie
0:51
for like ever Allie's my bestie.
0:55
And, yeah. I'm really close with Allie.
0:58
Because we found the same team. But, anyways. So, we're going to go in a circle.
1:02
And you're going to tell one word to describe your week. You can start.
1:08
One word I would pick is chill or elaborate because after the game we haven't really done much.
1:18
We had I had like one reserve training and then yesterday was off big.
1:22
So just chilling. Just chilling.
1:25
Paige. Okay. Sore. I am never sore. I don't know why. I'm extremely sore this week.
1:32
Maybe it's because on Monday I decided I wanted to play pickleball for two and
1:35
a half hours after our Sunday training.
1:37
We had a heavy lift and we scrimmaged so it might be on me but i'm sore that
1:44
that's that's how i'm feeling it is on you bro.
1:48
Dude i would say sore too because loki i've never i've been i was in the treatment
1:52

2:50
it's a new week we are playing two teams that are really good this this week
2:55
we're playing georgia and vandy vandy's number one if we beat them probably going to be number one.
3:01
So, should be good. And we have to beat Georgia because our football team lost, right?
3:05
And then my rose is I just took an exam an hour ago, and I think I got 100%.
3:10
100, bro. You took a quiz then? No, I took an exam.
3:14
But it, like, was a short exam. It was all short answer, and I had this long
3:18
of a— I had to write. My hand hurts, but I had to write for every single answer. Dude, nice job.

Oh, I played Roblox in class.
4:36
I was in class. Oh, I played Minecraft in class last week, guys.
4:42
Dude, I know someone that plays Minecraft in class. Okay, wait, wait, wait.
4:46
I actually do have a random part of my week. This girl in my class,
4:49
in my psychology class, I texted her yesterday because we didn't have anything class and i was like
4:55
let's not go to class i'm walking out of my apartment and someone drives by
4:58
and i swear it was her and then she texts me she's like,
5:02
do you live at blah blah blah and i was like yes was that you had no clue that
5:08
she lived literally in the apartment complex right across from me and she's
5:11
like she plays gymnastics i'm so random and then we ended up going to get coffee together we try,
5:17
she does gymnastics.
5:20
Dude well that's that's wholesome let's go get coffee oh no we're not talking
5:26
about wholesome dude guess what one of my friends brought me a hot chocolate
5:29
to my tutor yesterday i was so awesome,
5:32
and delivered it to me and it was really cold here yesterday it was so cute i was like oh okay,
5:40
let's move on to soccer let's see like before we get into how our week feels
5:44
the same let's talk about our games so who'd you guys play what was the result
5:49
she played oh yeah i got in for 20 minutes let's go,
5:55
it's center back it's center back not the nights yes.
5:59
Did you cook we didn't get did we get scored on yes but but i don't think what
6:06
was the goal it was off the corner oh it was a corner pick yeah that was man
6:10
marking She did good. She did good.
6:13
She did good. That was my first time playing center back ever for our team.
6:18
Dude, debut in the center back ever. She plays outside back in nine.
6:21
Yeah. I played center back. Isn't that crazy?
6:26
Hey, at least you got it, though. Let's go. What about you, Jaden?
6:29
First game, we were winning 1-0, and then we sold 1-1. We tied 1-1.
6:34
They scored another set piece.
6:37
Yeah, they scored another set piece, which we're low-key poor on.
6:40
Guys, come on now. Yeah, yeah. And then the second game, I played full that game, which is fire.
6:45
I played another 90, so my legs are gone.
6:49
And then we played two days later against Indiana, and we were winning 2-0. I got an assist.
6:55
And it was good. It was really good. It was pretty nice. But then I missed like 500 other shots.
7:00
But she took shots and usually we don't have that many shots on goal.
7:03
And that's an improvement.
7:05
Here we go. You know what? The more you get on goal, the more likely they are
7:08
to go in the goal. Right? Dude, one of them.
7:12
I hit the post again. I hit the post I think every game once.
7:15
Wait, did you put that on your story? Yeah, I said I'm going to buy a new goal
7:19
because why don't you get in the damn post?
7:22
It's a different post every time it's like different fields but whatever yeah
7:25
and i played like i played 70 that game which was fire but,
7:29
and we tied both games which is cool nice i played like 40 something,
7:34
and we played florida which it's not the most i'd played which is okay and i
7:40
it was just a struggle in the first half because it was dumping rain the florida's
7:44
field sucks by the way it literally is like you're playing in mush you're walking and it's like,
7:51
you know and i kept slipping and i just wasn't playing like me but it's okay
7:56
because i still play it at least but we did lose but we didn't lose when i was in so,
8:03
not on me i'm just like okay how did you my bench energy was crazy i was actually like energy,
8:11
we call it bbe energy yep yep yep dude our teammates are on big 10 like dancing,
8:18
and they're like they're like so sad because they're not,
8:22
playing and they're on the sideline getting freaking clipped like full on like wait,
8:27
oh my god check check my instagram story right now oh check my open your phone
8:32
open your phone my handshake with
8:34
my twin is on it and it's actually fire you'll know exactly what it is.
8:43
What story instagram yes yes bro you gotta wait a second it's like five seconds in she's not,
8:54
She's getting sidetracked Dude Walk in This Find it,
9:02
Ew Ew Isn't that tough We go like this We go like this Inside out We go You wanna see our head shake,
9:12
oh my god and i just came up with a new one with my teammate and we literally
9:16
we hit boom boom boom boom and we go that's fire that's not here it's called,
9:21
launch games no do you okay do you guys have a handshake let's see it since
9:25
you guys are here do yeah do it do it do it you can do it.
9:31
But there's like a lot yeah there's like a lot more yeah there's like a lot
9:35
more it's just okay okay yeah,
9:38
no yeah i was like a stick yeah okay okay back to back to soccer,
9:44
on the field no how did you feel about your own performance because i know that's
9:49
a little less that's a little less minutes than you normally get so i was well
9:53
i don't think i necessarily played bad i just don't think i necessarily played good,
9:57
so i played mid i was mid,
10:01
and i've been feeling kind of mid recently And, you know, sometimes you just kind of get in a slump.
10:07
And I think it's just low-key because in the games, I just haven't been,
10:10
like, playing like it's fun.
10:12
I've been, like, playing like I'm trying not to come off the field,
10:18
you know, instead of just playing like I'm going to beat you, scroll up.
10:23
I'm going to hit this pass because it'll be fire.
10:27
And instead, I've kind of been playing like I would guess a little fearful of mistakes.
10:33
And like getting taken out which is just like a mindset thing that i need to
10:38
work on but i don't know oh my god in practice yesterday,
10:43
so frustrated so frustrated we haven't had practice in a minute i had practice a day,
10:49
dude but guess what she didn't have to do the fitness because she played yep let's go.
10:54
I haven't finished in a minute maybe i should and she played the nine at reserves and she scored yep,
11:01
We've been having headless show reserves. Well, obviously, because I've been
11:04
playing more. But if I wasn't playing, I'd probably want to.
11:07
Okay, wait. Who deserves a shout-out this week? Jada. Go.
11:12
Hey, share with the class, please. Our youngest player on the team.
11:16
She took my spot. She took my title. But her name's...
11:19
What's her name? Rhea Mulder. We don't call her that. We call her something else. Hi, Paul.
11:25
Hello? Anyway, she scored her first goal this week. That was who my...
11:29
Yeah, it was a banger. It was with her left foot. I think I saw it. I saw it on your eyes.
11:33
She has really good striking. Like, her striking is freaking insane.
11:36
She did really hard, really fast. Really hard, fast. Yeah, she has a quick release. Yeah.
11:40
But, yeah, she got a start and then scored in the first minute. So, good for her.
11:46
She's holding it down versus one of their very good out-to-backs.
11:48
Against Indiana, she scored. But they had, like, a pretty good out-to-back.
11:51
That was probably one of their best players. They're right back.
11:55
Just a lot of energy. She did pretty well. So, hey, shout out,
11:58
Riamor. We agreed on that.
12:00
You get it from us okay what about your team who deserves a shout out that's fake.
12:09
I can't just be like oh oh i got one i got one i got one my french teammate
12:14
trinity she's been getting some more minutes and she's playing on,
12:20
a hurt foot that she's gonna get surgery for after her season but she's been
12:24
actually going crazy she keeps almost scoring I swear, if she scores,
12:28
I'm genuinely going to go down and cry. I'm going to cry.
12:30
Oh! That's hard. Bro, she's, like, top ten people of all time.
12:35
But I literally, like, she goes down and she plays so good. Did I make that list?
12:38
Yeah, did I make that list? Yeah, actually, you guys are somewhere up there. Somewhere. God.
12:45
Ew, stop biting your lip. Yeah, put it down. Yeah, put it down.
12:50
Aw, that's wholesome. What'd she say? I said you're her top three in her top three.
12:57
Yeah, you're in my top three, too, though. Aw, that's so freaking cute.
13:03
Okay, okay, okay, back to locking in.
13:06
It was a bad idea to have you on here, because now we just get distracted.
13:09
And we just hold some arm. Wait, wait, hold on. Real question,
13:12
viewers. You're like cousins.
13:14
Wait, wait. Do we all look like cousins?
13:18
Bro. Well, Allie, when we had the same color hair, we did look alike, though.
13:24
You changed it. No, I went back to my roots. This is my actual hair color.
13:28
My hair looks dark right now.
13:31
You guys are both looky ginger. Allie, you're ginger. Dude, I'm not ginger.
13:35
People keep asking me saying, what about your ginger friend?
13:38
And I said, what ginger friend? We have another ginger on the team,
13:40
but we do not look like he's ginger.
13:45
Allie, you are ginger. How? Does this look like... It's like red brown.
13:49
I don't know how to explain it. Like, I had that hair color too.
13:52
And I got called ginger. So... It's the other ginger for real, bro.
13:57
Okay, okay. All right, next, next, next. New ginger acquired.
14:01
Okay okay okay no okay i feel like,
14:06
low-key every time that we like get on the talk especially the last couple weeks
14:11
like i feel like i'm about to say the same thing every single time and it's not because like,
14:15
like there's nothing new happening it's because my our schedules are like the
14:19
same you know yeah i agree,
14:22
okay like what okay what's something what's something in your week that's like,
14:25
happens every single week like walk me through,
14:30
you have anything every single week.
14:34
11 reserves top off top off,
14:38
yeah pop-ups so i forgot what it's called kind of just blends all together yeah
14:43
right just like we know we know that we're gonna have what days are gonna be
14:47
our like our low day so you're kind of like mentally preparing for that like
14:50
you know like after the game you're gonna have reserves,
14:52
then you know the day before my master minus two master minus three one of those days,
14:57
we're gonna have a hard heavy day and it's like okay like today for example
15:01
is gonna be our hard heavy day so like everyone's mentally preparing for that,
15:05
but then the other days you get to like relax because i mean game days everybody
15:08
approaches that a little bit differently,
15:10
yeah well we just i guess mentally preparing for what's next like today we have a.
15:18
Yeah for me it's like class in the morning,
15:23
then lift then practice and the next day it's class in the morning then just practice,
15:29
and it's just like the same thing and then at practice every like we have what
15:34
sunday tuesday wednesday and then training and then thursday if we have a friday
15:40
game or or saturday if we have a thursday game,
15:44
and it's like the same thing in those trainings like sunday is our hard day
15:48
or it's either fun or hard like because it's a re-entry day and so we'll either
15:53
play fun games but this sunday we scrimmaged,
15:56
and then lift looks generally the same and then tuesdays are usually our harder
15:59
practice and then day before a game we play like the exact same thing we do
16:03
like this game called hex and then we do like 11s but it's just like a walkthrough
16:08
of like what the other team's gonna do and stuff like that,
16:11
but like it generally feels like i'm just going through the motions at this
16:15
point which is probably also why i'm like maybe.
16:18
Not as checked in you know because i'm feeling like it's the same thing over
16:23
and over again you know oh yeah it's also towards the end of the season so it's
16:26
like it's literally just everything's repetitive at least for us like,
16:29
loki sucks because we're starting to click i guess a little bit more as a team
16:33
like on the field and like results are not showing completely but they are we are getting points now,
16:39
so loki sucks because it's like
16:41
okay well we lost that many games so it's kind of like hard to catch up,
16:44
like very hard to catch up mentally i think a lot of people are checked out
16:47
individuals are checked out.
16:48
All over the place like so it's kind of hard to like mesh our team together so.
16:53
I don't know but it's getting better like hey we have fun at least when we're
16:57
on our way trips and stuff yeah because loki like it sucks when,
17:01
for example she wasn't playing when we traveled to ohio to penn i was injured
17:06
so it was just like we had fun we had a lot of fun like just running around
17:09
and enjoying everything about it.
17:13
Just exploring, having fun Dude, okay Go Hey, what's something you've been procrastinating on?
17:20
Dude, my clean clothes have been on my floor for two days What?
17:25
Girl, pick it up I'm not doing it after this,
17:29
I literally, I, like, deep cleaned my bathroom And I was, like,
17:33
cleaning my room and putting away stuff And then, like, I had done my laundry
17:37
and I put it on the floor And then I sat down on my computer and just didn't get up,
17:42
yeah but i've done i've done all my assignments last week no the week before
17:46
last week was a bad week i had three late assignments because i decided to push
17:50
everything to the end of the week and then i just didn't do it until after it was due,
17:53
but it's fine i still have all these bad page okay what about you what about you guys,
17:58
i procrastinate on my homework assignments too but i finished them before they're
18:03
late okay okay but here's the thing we like are trying to go like get something
18:07
sweet or like go do something and she's like we have to go do my homework i
18:10
have to do my homework but like She could have been done already. Yeah.
18:13
And then I just... But I finished it. But she does it. She does it.
18:17
But then she holds us all back. But it's okay because we wait.
18:21
Because we just want the sweet treats. So it's fine. Yeah, fat chuds.
18:24
Dude, not funny. Not funny. You got to find happiness in your life somewhere.
18:28
That's our... You know what? It's okay. When I go into the dining hall,
18:31
the lady just says, I got you. Because she already memorized my number.
18:37
Wow. I go, hey, Miss Betty, you got me? And she's like, you know,
18:40
I got you, honey. and I was like, we have Miss Pat. She's a G. She comes to our gates.
18:46
She's prior. Yeah, she did like a pregame speech for us and it was so wholesome.
18:51
It was literally, she was crying because she didn't know how to say,
18:55
I was like, well, like someday she has her days where she's just like pissed and like in a mood.
19:00
But like we're always like, hi, Miss Pat. And she's just like, hello.
19:05
But she was like, if you guys don't have any friends, if you don't have any
19:08
family to come around, you can always give me a hug. Like, I'm always here.
19:11
It was so sad. Did we win? Did we tie that game?
19:15
No. I don't remember. We probably lost. Everything blends together.
19:19
Yeah, they're just all just taking no points.
19:25
Okay. Well. Oh. Oh, my turn.
19:29
Oops. My bad, gang. Okay. What's part of your routine that you think you would
19:34
miss if it just was, like, gone?
19:38
I would probably miss...
19:40
Your sweet treat runs? Dude. Yeah, but that's not leaving.
19:47
I would probably miss... What would I miss the most? What would you miss the
19:51
most? If you just stopped doing it. If we just stopped training. Like, you just...
19:55
Yeah. Like, when we have off days, it kind of sucks. Because,
19:58
yes, your body gets to rest. But, like, I don't get to see my team and, like, go troll. Yeah.
20:03
And I kind of feel like it should.
20:06
Yeah. We don't train. It's giving time, bro. What's new? and we just don't do any.
20:13
You just summon both of us it's fun yeah training's fun I feel good after,
20:19
I train dude yeah and then you just got something out of your way and you checked
20:22
it off it low-key sucks though that we train like midday yeah but at least you
20:26
have like something to look forward to because off days you kind of just sit
20:29
around waiting to do nothing till the next day and then yeah,
20:32
like for example yesterday I was like so filled with like regular stuff like
20:37
nothing soccer which kind of sucked but,
20:40
yeah i'd probably miss that what about you well my off days are not really off
20:45
days i always try and do stuff,
20:47
which includes pickleball and so if pickleball got removed i think i would be
20:52
kind of sad because i try and play like once a week even if we're in season,
20:56
and if that got taken away i'd be pretty sad,
20:59
even though loki i might have accidentally pulled something playing do you have
21:04
courts where you're getting sports we have at our rec center we have like tennis
21:08
courts pickleball courts.
21:12
Where's ours i think it's the line that pickleball courts there i think so oh
21:18
but that's our courts no we have a gym dude football players get a pickleball,
21:24
hi bye yeah they have a they have.
21:28
The pickleball and basketball at the top of their,
21:32
It's kind of crazy. It's like peeking out towards the field.
21:35
It's like a balcony, and then the field's underneath it, but they have courts. It's pretty tough.
21:40
You used to beach volleyball. I got to tour that. They worked out in blue.
21:44
Why doesn't Murphy play beach volleyball, too?
21:47
Well, she doesn't have a foot. Yeah. And she also doesn't have any heels.
21:52
Well, okay, we would probably do stuff like that. Like more active things on
21:58
our off days, but one of us can't move, so. Yeah.
22:01
It's kind of, we just have to adjust it, bro. And also, like,
22:04
isn't, like, stewarding anywhere?
22:06
Speaking of her, we just summoned her. Oh, my gosh.
22:11
Hey, bro, lock in. Sorry. Dude, I'm sorry. See, Allie's here until you're getting distracted.
22:18
Dude, I'm sorry. Okay. Okay, real question. When you say you're tired,
22:23
are you tired from what you did that day or tired of doing the same things? Ooh.
22:29
Low-key.
22:31
I'm never usually tired. Actually, you know what? If I say I'm tired,
22:35
it's probably because I went to bed at 2 a.m.
22:38
And woke up at 8, 9, 9. Dude, do we need to teach you about sleep?
22:43
Are you all night still or no?
22:45
Dude, I like to freaking read. I'm sorry. And I get caught reading.
22:49
But usually I'm tired because I'm tired. But then I'm also kind of tired of
22:52
doing the same things every day.
22:53
I feel like I need to add something new and do something different.
22:58
But I don't know what to do.
23:00
So all i do is just start playing new video games.
23:05
I've started playing like four different new video games this year that's bad,
23:09
i'm starting a new one today new one today actually you get tired of doing the
23:13
same things i don't i like doing the same things or i can plan stuff around
23:18
doing the same things like i know what so you just are you ever tired,
23:23
i'm tired of like like when we run.
23:29
Then like that kind of affects what i do after because i'm like oh i don't have
23:32
to do anything first dude first yeah guys and what's something what's something
23:37
i can do to make my week feel different help me out,
23:42
I was going to say you could call your friends. Dude, one of the games before... Hold on.
23:48
Listen. Before Illinois, I called like three of my long-distance friends that
23:52
I don't see anymore. And it was the most wholesome thing I've ever done in my entire life.
23:56
I was so happy. But that fills my days. Yeah, well, low-key calling Allie is
24:01
part of my schedule, too.
24:02
That's like a weekly thing, too. You just call a lot.
24:05
But your other friends, maybe, would that help? I'm actually lonely.
24:08
I don't have any friends.
24:10
No, I'm kidding. I actually called, like, two of my friends yesterday as well.
24:13
So I did do something different, I guess, this week.
24:17
I caught up with Alex and Susie, Al. Ooh, dude. Sometimes I'd be doing her cellulite.
24:22
Oh, do you remember Alex? Do you remember Alex? Me? That's what we interviewed her. Ah.
24:30
To do the boom show. We loved hearing that before Stanford. That's funny.
24:34
And then we played good. Yeah, and the whole team played good.
24:37
And Murko traveled, so it was great.
24:39
Oh, fire. You know she's playing in australia right now. I literally called
24:42
her and she she was like, yeah No, my house is a 10-minute walk from the beach
24:46
and then she was calling me on the beach. I was like Oh, I should summon.
24:54
Hey guys, enough with the distractions Yeah, i'm sorry. Okay. Okay bad bad bad bad,
25:02
Not I, not I. Hello? Just keep talking. What do you mean?
25:09
Hey, do you ever have free time and don't know what to do with it?
25:13
I feel like that's a question for you guys.
25:19
Oh, yeah. I don't have a class in the morning, like, ever. I only have class
25:22
on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 11.
25:25
And I have, like, tutoring once a week. But low-key, I have so much free time.
25:27
And I just sit out here and mog. Who told you that?
25:32
Oh shut up yeah my free time i read some books and i play video games and call
25:38
my friend but actually really boring there's this is depressing this whole this
25:42
one is so depressing because there's nothing to talk about,
25:46
what like like like the whole episode is boring because this one's really boring
25:51
oh sure because because we literally
25:53
it only is because we literally do the same thing every week it's so boring
25:57
bro but that's what this episode is about It's the fact that we do everything
26:02
the same every week, so it's nothing new to talk about.
26:06
You can talk about how gorgeous Allie who is.
26:12
Okay. Okay. This is like the last kind of couple parts.
26:17
Like when you were thinking about like, hey, like I'm going to college.
26:22
Like what did you think, like before you even got here or got to your school,
26:27
what did you think life was going to look like?
26:31
Low key, similar to the way I lived before. Just like always on the go.
26:35
And like always having to manage stuff like i love eating that's why i kind
26:38
of succeeded pretty well in my freshman year even though i'm honestly.
26:45
And you need to disappear you need to disappear and we have a new feature no feature right here,
26:52
oh my god sab welcome welcome to the big life podcast no this is,
27:00
my okay as i was saying,
27:04
even though my freshman year didn't go well i still think i succeeded because
27:07
of my time management skills so i low-key was expecting everything to be like
27:10
crammed and like you have to find ways to like incorporate social life and like,
27:16
freaking anything you want to do inside of what's like expected of you so low-key
27:22
it was exactly how I expected it to go except,
27:25
obviously school's harder than how I was doing school before but and also I
27:29
was a law major at first so that was a little hard but yeah did you expect it
27:33
to be how it went cause like obviously soccer she asked her about her freshman year actually,
27:40
Hey, bro. How was it for you, King? My freshman year, I took easy classes.
27:44
So in terms of like, like course work, it wasn't that hard for me to like manage it.
27:53
But I thought I would be playing more. So that kind of took a toll in like my
27:57
mental because the way it went for me just wasn't like what I imagined.
28:02
So, yeah. But this year, I'm handling it a lot better.
28:06
And I'm taking it day by day and just doing what I can each day at practice.
28:10
And yeah okay I like that approach I like that,
28:15
for me going in I thought college like in general was gonna be like crazy busy
28:20
crazy hard and just like I wouldn't have much free time but I feel like I have,
28:26
too much free time and I don't know what to do my with myself,
28:29
but and then like my freshman year going in like I felt like I started off strong
28:34
and like thought it was going the way I wanted it to and then like as the season
28:38
progressed it kind of like didn't and so I was stuck in like a mental,
28:43
place so I was like I don't know what to do like whatever and then like what
28:48
I didn't expect to start doing is like,
28:50
see a sports psychologist because I never did that in like high school and stuff,
28:54
so like I didn't I didn't know that was an option and then like found out I
28:59
had that like with the resources that we have in college but I do think that
29:03
like everyday life is honestly.
29:05
Easier than it was before in high school because for me in high school for club
29:10
like we had to travel so far and like our whole our whole day was basically like you go to
29:16
school and school was longer in high school because you had like to be there
29:20
for like six seven classes,
29:23
I wouldn't even know anything about that yeah see like we had I had to be there
29:27
like in sophomore year from like eight to almost three eight to three and then
29:32
right after school I would have to go to my trainer or my gym,
29:36
which is like 30 minutes away and I would do that until 6 and then go home eat
29:40
dinner go straight an hour and a half drive to practice not get home until 11
29:45
so I would be away from home,
29:47
from 7 30 when I would drive to school to basically 11 p.m.
29:53
But also the travel time like Loki like since everything's like here on campus
29:58
we don't really have I think that's probably it frees up a lot of time.
30:00
It's just like everything is right here.
30:02
Like for class, like five minutes before we have to be there because we have
30:06
scooters. And then maybe for training, 10 minutes before we have to be there.
30:09
Like it's not, like I think the transportation also takes up a lot of time,
30:13
especially when you're like.
30:17
It's sports stuff. It is very, very different. I was going to say something
30:20
and I forgot. Hold up, let me get it. It was in my head. It was in my head.
30:24
It was in my head. No, I lost it.
30:27
What's one thing you want to do for this semester that has nothing to do with soccer?
30:32
One thing I want to do? Nothing to do with soccer?
30:36
I want to go to Disneyland or Horror Nights. I want to go to Horror Nights.
30:41
So, what the heck? I want to go to, guys.
30:45
The issue is that this Murphy's broken.
30:49
So what I'm hearing is at the end of the semester in December,
30:53
we go to Disneyland all together.
30:56
All four of us. Because then I won't be, what'd you guys call me? Solo?
31:02
Single writer? Single writer? That was me, I was single writer.
31:06
Dude, it's okay. Was that a plan? So it's okay.
31:11
I feel like that's a fire plan. What thing do you want to do?
31:14
Horror night. A hornet? Yeah. Dude, what to go before? And I want to go to Camp Lognath.
31:19
Oh! She bought tickets. With my perdean. The Camp Lognath.
31:24
Are you serious? She bought tickets? With your perdean?
31:27
I should have saved my per diem
31:29
and then get Calvin Harris tickets because he's going to beat the story.
31:32
He's coming to San Diego too and LA. He's coming to Oakland.
31:37
I thought it was... Oh, wait, no, it's 18+.
31:41
I thought it was 21+.
31:45
I can't lie. It's on May 7th and I get done with finals on May 6th and I'll
31:50
fly back and... May, that's...
31:53
I haven't even thought that far ahead. Yeah, low-key, I saw the dates,
31:56
but I didn't check, like... Oh, I'm the type of person to buy the tickets in pre-sale right away.
32:02
Dude, should I do that? Yeah. It's cheaper.
32:05
Yeah, low-key. Okay, wait. Another part of, like, college, like,
32:10
what we thought before, like, how is, like, soccer-wise, like,
32:16
how is the soccer different? Like, what did you not expect?
32:21
Like, compared to club soccer, what is the biggest difference playing?
32:25
Call it soccer i think everyone says speed of play like it's just just different
32:30
i think there's just more intensity like people are hungrier than they were
32:33
in the club like for example my team is really good obviously obviously,
32:38
like really good so we never every time we played a team like it was just like
32:41
low calm and now every team here is like okay they're gonna there's gonna be
32:44
something to them but like club it's kind of just like,
32:48
you know like you mark the big days on your calendar like it's like okay you're
32:51
gonna play these three massive teams but in the whole season but,
32:55
here it's like okay you're gonna play a good team every single game like every
32:58
single game some team's gonna have a different challenge different strategy
33:01
a different tactic so like,
33:04
yeah but also the difference is probably just like hunger like girls wanna some
33:08
girls actually want to go pro like when in college they're just kind of.
33:12
Like, okay, in club, you're either playing to get into college to do academics
33:17
to you want to play a D1 sport to just, I don't know, go to college and experience
33:22
a D1 thing. Like, everyone has their own reasons for going to D1 or, like, college.
33:27
So, like, I don't know. I think, like, the hunger. Everyone's different.
33:31
Everyone here, like, wants something. So, I think we can kind of,
33:33
like, tell on the field, I guess, like, who wants the most. Especially on our
33:38
team. Like, you can tell who wants to go pro, who doesn't.
33:40
It's kind of obvious. i think another part is also the like the age gap,
33:46
like in club you're playing against like girls your own age maybe maybe younger
33:50
maybe like a like one year older max but in like,
33:56
college you can be playing against like fifth years that are like what 22 we.
34:01
Have a 23 see like the age range is like anywhere from like 17 if they come really early to like 23,
34:12
and so that big of an age gap it's like there's an experience gap there's a
34:16
physicality gap and then there's also like the speed of play like,
34:20
someone who's 23 is probably gonna know a little bit more game situational stuff
34:25
than someone that is like 17 and a freshman and so having to get used to that,
34:29
and then also there's like,
34:31
a little bit of a hierarchy which you kind of experience that in high school
34:35
a little but for me high school I was like the best player so I didn't really
34:39
wasn't a part of the hierarchy because,
34:41
I was more just like here and then I don't know but like in in college like your seniors,
34:47
they're like the seniors then and then it goes down what do you say about you I also think or,
34:54
I think the biggest difference is like the physicality because
34:59
you have to be way more fit than you were in club it's so much more running
35:02
and like everyone is fast like I don't think there's like anyone so like especially
35:06
on defense they're just running at you every time like oh my gosh dude yeah yeah,
35:11
yeah probably i'd say it's it,
35:14
Ooh, I like this question. If we visited each other for a weekend,
35:18
what would we do besides anything soccer-related?
35:22
Koreatown. We'd probably go to Koreatown. Maybe get a sweet treat. Yo.
35:30
I swear you guys have said sweet treat like five times in this episode.
35:33
That literally makes your day so much better. It makes your day worth actually getting through.
35:40
We were told ourselves like yesterday, for example. Not yesterday.
35:43
Day the day before that what did we order stuff for reserves well i had reserves
35:48
but katie park one of our friends finished her midterm so we're like oh we're
35:52
celebrating because we're all celebrating her midterm just makes your day like.
35:58
So we don't do anything like yeah you guys are allowed to like go out we don't
36:01
go anyways but you guys go out so like you can't go out yeah you can't go out
36:07
at all so this is our version of going even if we could probably wouldn't but,
36:11
this is our version of like,
36:13
an outside activity.
36:14
That's not something. Hey, I go and get sweet treats too.
36:17
Okay, if we're going to Bama, what are you doing with us there? There's nothing.
36:20
What are we doing when we're here? Dude, and there's no football game.
36:24
There's no football game. So what makes your...
36:27
School we're in LA you go anywhere true,
36:31
we can go eat some food beat that I love eating food I'll take you to Jack Brown's
36:37
which is like a really good burger joint all they have is burgers and fries
36:40
and they have a different burger for every day a special burger and then they
36:44
have their main burger that's kind,
36:46
of right doesn't that sound fire right and then I can also take you,
36:51
I know too many food places it's bad there's also like a mini golf place that
36:55
we can go to I haven't on there yet so I look you want to go there and you know
36:59
what we can just go on some nice fun drives and troll people on the strip,
37:03
usually me and my friends we have cat masks and we put on our cat ski masks
37:06
and we just go out the window and just yell at people we go like nice nice backpack loser.
37:16
You guys yeah we spread positivity here,
37:21
and then if somebody's running like did you Did you hear that?
37:24
No. What'd you say? Raise your hand if you're cute.
37:27
Hashtag positivity. Hashtag spread positivity. Okay, fine. Next time I go around,
37:30
I'll put on the cat ski mask and I'll yell, What's looking good?
37:34
Looking good. Yeah. I know what you're talking about now.
37:38
Wait, but then that's catcalling people. I don't want to catcall people.
37:42
No, you have to say something genuine. Like genuinely nice. Yeah.
37:47
See, we could go do that, though. We could go drive-by nice compliments.
37:51
Good thing we're never coming there. I'd want to meet you.
37:54
I don't want to come there. And we can also play with my roommate's cat. You can come here again.
38:00
See, I've already been there. And it was pretty cool now. Oh, here comes Murphy.
38:05
Okay. I think we should go into looking ahead and closing. Okay, I bet.
38:10
What do you have coming up for this next week? Well, I've got my games,
38:13
which I said before. Georgia and Vandy. Georgia is the only team that's tied Vandy.
38:18
Vandy is number one, and they haven't lost a game yet.
38:21
So, basically, we've got to beat both of them, and I think we can.
38:24
And that's going to be fire. We believe in you. We believe in you.
38:27
Do we believe in Vama? We don't know.
38:29
We believe in pitch. What the heck? All right, all right. What about you?
38:32
What about you guys? We have Northwestern coming up, and we're going to play on Turf in Chicago.
38:37
