  Speaker 1: All right, nine thirty six right now.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: So I was at my book club last night where
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: we didn't talk about books at all.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: That's great.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say you call it book club. I think
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: it's just ladies sitting around drinking wine.
• 0:13
  Speaker 4: That is. But isn't that nice?
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: It is nice?
• 0:15
  Speaker 5: Why don't you just call it that?
• 0:17
  Speaker 4: And what we talked about last night?
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: And I know that there are soccer parents out there
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: listening right now.
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: I know you two don't understand this at all.
• 0:28
  Speaker 5: But actually I do. Oh, give me a try.
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: This time of year. The tyranny of soccer is at
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: its worst.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: You know how I know about this because I keep
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: reminding you of the tyranny of soccer this time of year.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: So this is tryout season, and soccer club tryouts are
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: it is the most poorly thought out system. So there
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: are all these clubs, so every year you have to
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: start fresh, right.
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: Even if you're part of a club.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Come around next year, we still have tryouts and we
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: everything gets reshuffled again. The tryouts quite often are on
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: the same day at the same time, so you kind
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: of have to pick, like, well, I guess I'm going
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: to try out for this club and then if you
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: don't make that club, you're sol because you didn't try
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: out for the other.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: It is the most stressful.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Are they different divisions or teams there? I don't know
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: the club. There are sports growing up in general, so
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: I'm familiar with that.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: But yeah, there are different divisions, there are different teams.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: There are coaches swap teams and take players with them.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: It's ruthless and it is so stressful for the kids
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: because mostly I think kids just want to play with
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: their friends, Like I want to be on the same
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: team with my friends that I've been on with.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: They have rec and comp leagues. This is above that.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Even this is this is comp okay.
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: So this is camp.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is competitive soccer. But it is the most stressful.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: This is what I've been saying to you for years,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: is that you need to get the brain trust of
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: parents together and create a new soccer league that doesn't
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: have these.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: Restrictions because it's things like.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: You play based on your birth year, not on your grade. Right.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: So Mohamma's birthday is at the.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: End of December of December, and most of his friends
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: were born, you know, two weeks later or more. So
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: he for the last few years has not been able
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: to play on a team whether his friends because he
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: just happened to.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: Be born to It's stuff like that.
• 2:47
