 All right, what's up? Welcome back to another episode of Stay With Talk. This is episode 10. We have the men's basketball with us today. We have Evan and Mikhail, both guards. Evan's a senior, Mikhail is a junior transfer. If you guys just want to tell us about like your hometowns, your majors, maybe how you came to Stevenson, et cetera, whatever you want to tell us. All right, I guess I'll go first. So I'm from Middletown, Maryland. It's kind of a small two-way high school, kind of like out in the country in Western Maryland, but I'm also an interdisciplinary study major. I originally was here for accounting, but recently found interest in physical therapy. So I switched and did biology and accounting so I can go to PT school after I graduate. And I came to Stevenson after Coach Smith and Coach Stewart came to like my basketball practices and my basketball games. And I came, loved the school, loved the, like where it is in relation to like where I lived. So it was like kind of a perfect fit for what I wanted for a college experience. But that's what's up. Nice story. For me, I'm originally from Aurora, Colorado. And my family and I actually moved to Delaware, Middletown, Delaware a couple of years ago. And that's where I did a junior college in Northeast Maryland, Cecil College. I was there for two years. My major is communications broadcasting and how I got to Stevenson basically just through the recruiting process seeing coach Stu and coach Jeff coming through my practices and my games as well and stuff. And they just, I unfortunately didn't get to take an official visit here due to COVID and everything, but one day I did come up with my family and just kind of walked around campus and stuff like that and just assumed that the buildings inside were really nice as well. And it convinced me to commit here. You do video and stuff or you just want to do like broadcasting? Honestly, I want to be in front of the camera. So that's why I'm taking a lot of public speaking and communication leadership classes and all that type of stuff. Like announcing and stuff or? Exactly, exactly. And I mean, I guess honestly, like the dream job would be to work for one of the large sports networks such as ESPN and stuff like that. Nice. Good goals. So we're just gonna open to like some questions, random questions. Who was your guys' favorite NBA player growing up? My favorite was LeBron. He's just the beast. He's always going to watch them play. He's always just something special whenever you watch them. So I was always my favorite. My favorite was probably definitely Kyrie Irving. The way he handles the ball and the way, you know, he just brings excitement to the game and stuff and you never know what he's gonna do next. So. He's coming back, he was hurt, right? Or is he? Was that KD? No, they were both hurt last year, right? They were both hurt, yeah. Yeah, so hopefully they come back better than ever and stuff. And he can play more than he did last year, hopefully. Yeah, did you guys always think that basketball was gonna be the sport you'd have a playing in college? Or did you ever wish you were good at a different sport or anything? Or was always basketball? Originally I thought I was gonna either play baseball or soccer in college, because it was like the two I was just naturally like better at. I mean, I played. You played at champ and baseball, right? I think your bio said something about that. Yeah, state championship baseball and two times state champ for soccer in high school. So I was originally thinking I was gonna do something with that, but I just, I was just naturally good at those. And then basketball was like the one I actually had to work on. So I enjoyed that more. That makes sense. I mean, at one point I definitely thought that I was gonna play ball in college, football or basketball in college. You know, I enjoyed football when I was younger. What position? I was a wide receiver, a wide receiver in the corner back and stuff, right? So I thought, you know, I could be, I feel like I could have been good at it, but I just wasn't as dedicated as I was to basketball and stuff. And let alone, I love going to basketball practice. So I just felt more comfortable with basketball. Yeah. Are there any other sports or talents that you guys are good at? Any secret talents? I'm the only one to dance and can't even dance. Really? Are you on TikTok? I'm all right. I don't really show it much. But, you know, I feel like I got some moves here and there. Maybe after a post-op, if you're dancing on the court, I'll try to get some moves on there. All right. Well, we're gonna try to quiz your Stevenson and basketball knowledge. Might be, like, I don't know, Evan might know some of these. Mikhail, you might not know a few of the first ones, but we'll give it a whirl. Do either of you know or at least have a guess the record for points in a single game? Can I have a, can I say who I think it might be? Sure. Yeah. Colby? Yeah. What do you reckon? Yeah, you got a name. Yeah, I don't remember. Is it 46 or something? 48. 48. That's pretty good. Close. He broke a second record that game. He had 13 threes in a game that same day. That's insane. What's, what does Steph have? Probably like 15. I think Steph's at 13. I think he has NBA record at 13, yeah. Yes, he has it like twice. Well, then dang, he tried, he tied the NBA record. Okay, how many times in school history has the team shot 10 or more free throws and made everything the one? I'm gonna say not a lot. That's accurate. That's accurate. That is accurate. Once? Yeah. Once. You're killing it. There was, there was a game I was looking at. It was in 2002. Yeah. There was one Evan's freshman year where they went like 19 out of 20. So I don't know who missed that one shot. But. Okay. Evan, you should remember this one. Most points as a team, like as a game, like most points as a team in one game. In a single game. Yeah. In school history. I'll give you a hint. It was Evan's freshman year. Was it against Elizabeth Town? No. Penn State Berks. Very similar schools. 107, 109, something like that. I don't remember it. 113. 113, yeah. All right. And then we'll get McKayla on here on the last one. Yeah, I'm good. I'm good. You're just letting me answer it all. I'm good. Top three scoring games in NBA history. I feel like you should both get one and two really easily. Well, I know what one is. I know what two is. Is it like the scoring games? Like a person scoring or like team games? Like. A person. A person. Will Coby. Yeah. 181 and then. Was it, was it Devon Booker? Yeah, 72. Was it him? No, it was Will again. Will again. He has a third back and two. 78. I don't know what. I think that's the second one. I was looking at it and yeah, I was looking at it and it was like Will, Coby. And then it was literally like Will, Will, Will. And then like all the LeBrons and Devons like with like the 76. That was pretty good trivia. Good job. Something like that. Yeah. Thank you. Next, do you guys have any stories or memories that you wanna share about Coach Jeff or Coach Stewart? I have one memory from sophomore year. We were in a scrimmage and like I was used to coach, like I've seen coach Stewart get mad like during a game or anything but never really during a scrimmage. And I remember he would got, I was just coming off sorry to see this. So I wasn't playing like, I don't think I was playing the game but I was like on like the bench like, and Coach Stewart was getting like going off on this one ref and like he got kicked out of the scrimmage which is like, I think never happened. Like he was really on the ref and it might have been like the funniest thing I think I've ever seen. I think this is kind of like a simple one actually. Like we were in the weight room and I've been, I don't know if you saw this but we were in the weight room getting ready. We were with Coach Pete and stuff, right? And Worm, another one of our teammates. You know, everybody wants to get hyped, get ready for lift and stuff. And he starts dancing and then coach Stu comes behind him in the mirror and starts like mimicking him and trying to dance but like it was completely terrible. And I was like, yo bro, what are you doing? Like, what's going on? That's funny. I wish I was there for that, that's funny. Yeah, it looked a little painful. All right, we're gonna play Would You Rather. So first one, would you rather your life be made a musical or like a life documentary? I think definitely a documentary. I would put a documentary for sure. I don't know what you can make my life out of a documentary that I'm gonna start with. Like what would it look like? Like high school musical or something? Yeah. All right, What about, would you rather the next Stevenson basketball season be a musical or a documentary? I think with this group of guys who can make it a musical, all the stuff, bro, it's here for you guys. Throw in some of Coach Stewart's dancing skills. Yeah, him and Ken, sure. You'd have a musical. Sure, I think I'm good with the musical too, honestly. I think that would be hilarious. I think that'd be funny. Okay, would you rather have 30 butterflies instantly appear from nowhere every time you sneeze or one very angry squirrel appear from nowhere every time you call? So either 30 butterflies when you sneeze or a very angry squirrel when you talk. How dangerous is an angry squirrel? That's what I was trying to say. I don't know. Like what stretch does that pose to me if I take that one? I'm proud of you. Good luck. Is it a squirrel and ice age that always wants the one nut? Or what animal is that? Is that a squirrel? I think it's a squirrel, right? So picture that angry squirrel trying to get the nut, I guess. I think I sneeze more than I call, so I'd rather just. That's true. I feel like I can hold in a call. I feel like it'd be cool if 30 butterflies popped up anyway, right? I was about to say, I mean, I sneeze here and there. It's not like something, anything crazy, but like sneezing and seeing all these butterflies. I'll be like, oh, that's pretty dope. Yeah. All right, would you rather get two? All right, it is the holiday season. It is the holiday season. Would you rather have like two Thanksgiving's a year or two Christmases a year? Oh, definitely two Christmases. That's the best holiday for sure. But you'd have to buy presents twice too. I'm okay with that. I get it. I mean, Christmas. I don't think you guys want your second Christmas to be. When? Yeah. I take that instead of like Easter. Like an Easter time. Definitely, definitely maybe one flight sometime during the summer. For sure. Yeah. Like usually in front of there's nothing really going on. So having a Christmas in the winter and then having something in the summer to look forward to as well. Yeah. Okay. Last one, would you rather be an airbender, a firebender, a waterbender or an earthbender? Definitely a waterbender. Water, water, like rules everything. That's 70% of the world right there. Yeah. Yeah. I agree with that. I'll be one too. Okay, where did you go? Cut off. He just texted me, he said computer crashed. I'm coming back. LOL. We'll wait for him. We'll wait for him. Next, we're doing rapid fire questions. So like as soon as like I say, the question like you guys are gonna have to like don't even think about it to immediately answer. All right. At the same time? Yeah. All right. They're like, yeah, we'll be waterbenders and then your boxes like flip out. Yeah. So we're on the rapid fire questions. I'm just gonna read them for you guys and then immediately answer. Should we do the timer still? Yeah. You want me to do it? The timer? Mm-hmm. 32 minutes, is there less questions? Yeah. I put less questions, so do a minute and a half. Okay. All right. Okay. Ready? Yeah. Three, two, one. When are you your most inspired? The most inspired in the morning. I say in the morning. Okay. Every night. What is your favorite board game? Oh, no. I don't even think it's a board game. It's a card game. Card game, board game, same thing. A game called a zoo. Okay. What's your favorite dessert? Something called dirt, it's like just yogurt. Oh, yes, that's the best. Ice cream cake. If you could have unlimited supply of only one thing, only what would it be? Money. Milk. What? Milk? Milk. What's your favorite sports movie? Remember the Titans? Waterboy. If you won a million dollars, what would be the first thing that you would buy? I have no idea. I really don't know what I would buy. Honestly, on some stuff to stuff, probably I'd buy a lot of shoes. Are you a morning, a noon time, or a night person? Definitely morning. Definitely night. Where would you want to retire? North Carolina. Colorado. What's your favorite hobby? Lifting. I do camera like that. I'm gonna just say writing. Okay. What is one food you never be able to give up? Chicken. Cereal. Same. Chicken and cereal for me. That's it. Yeah, I couldn't give up either, that was awesome. Do you miss Colorado? I do. I definitely have friends and people I consider brothers I pretty much grew up with and stuff like that. Still there and I'm still in contact with them and actually every summer I go down to Colorado for a week or two to spend time with them. I'm just gonna ask if you have people or the views more. Like I'm sure those mountains just like every day are just like. It's definitely pretty for sure, but like people always ask to like, oh, have you ever skied or snowboard? It's like I've never even come close to any of that. Really? So it's really, yeah, I have no idea how to do it. I'm sure you've done like, I don't know. What's your favorite color activity? Color activity? To be honest with you, like this is, I'm really, I was really boring. Like honestly, like the friends that I hung out with all we would do is just, you know, either there's a place called Southlands, right? And it's like basically like an outdoor strip on. We would always just walk that and just, you know, get food, go into stores. And then at the end of it, it was like a movie theater and stuff, so we would go catch movies and stuff. And then other than that, we were either at somebody's house playing 2K or we were in the gym. And that's, you know. But hiking. Don't stop. Hiking is definitely. I'm assuming, I don't know, maybe I'm just assuming this, but like have you ever been to like one of the hot springs? I haven't. You haven't? I haven't. I'm trying to do like all these Colorado's. For sure. Like I was living in Colorado for like 14, 15 years and didn't touch any of those. Oh my God. But like, no, it's definitely cool. Like I said too before, like the, we got it in high two and hiking is amazing there, for sure. Do you feel the like oxygen or like, what is it that people can't play at Denver? Elevation. Yes, for sure. Like when I first moved here, I was like, man, I can run for gays. Like I was like, man, I'm in the best shape of my life, but it was really just elevation. I'm sure when I go back, cause it's been a couple of years since I've been there due to COVID and stuff. I'm sure I'm going to really feel it. What's the, what's the board game that you send? What game is that? Azul. Yeah, Azul. So it's like, I don't, my mom like got it for us during like Christmas and stuff. Like kind of like a family like gift. And it's like, there's like different puzzle pieces and stuff. How do I spell it? If I want to Google the box. A, I think it's A-Z-U-L. All right. And like basically like those, these different pieces and you have to like stack them up in a pattern type form. And it's like really strategic and stuff. And you have to go based off of what other people are doing on their board as well. And it's like, there's so many rules and like so many like things that you have to like think about and all at the same time. To be honest. This looks crazy. It's honestly probably not even my favorite board game. That's just the first thing that came up with it. Bro, this looks like Monopoly and Connect 4 at the same time or something. It's insane. It's insane. I searched it at first and it was giving me Azul Airline stock. So I was like, I don't think you got something. Man, no, it's definitely like, my mom had to go like YouTube it and like see like what, like actually how to play it because the direction didn't help at all. Okay, last question. I don't know why Jay wrote this. You can say it. Oh, I was just, I was, I wrote down I was the team holding up without Coach Ethan. I'm sure that was a hit. He was the glue, he was the glue. He was the glue that held our office together too. Definitely Coachy. We miss him. Like all the returners definitely miss Coachy and stuff. We all miss Coachy a little, but shout out Coachy. Shout out Coachy. If you guys didn't watch this and we really disappointed. Wait, did he get his Coach thing? I saw the posts, but I don't know. Woody Ear College or something like that in like Washington. I don't remember the school. I remember seeing like, he got hired and everything for it, but I don't remember what the school was for. I think it's Woody Ear, currently for wrong Ethan. I texted him the other day. He left me on red. Aw. What did you text him? Um, actually I was trying to get to their practice. So I was like, yo, do you have Coach Jeff's number? But then I said congrats to him. He's like, it's not been probable. And I was like, congrats on getting hired by the way. And he like opened both of them and didn't respond to either. Okay. Dang, Coachy's ruthless. I'm sure he was busy. He is always staying busy. But he still hasn't replied to you, has he? Nope. Nope. Still a little hurt. Still a little hurt. Watch this and then host his own reply. We always finish with like an inspirational quote or like a fun fact or something like that. Do you guys have a shout out, a shout out to like mom and dad or something? Whatever you want. Do you have like a favorite quote? I'm trying to think of something Stu would say, but I can't remember. It's something he says, but I don't remember what it is off the top of my head. Coach Stu always says, you guys are as soft as pond water. Still not getting to this day, but that's... I don't think I know what that means either. I don't think any of them do. Um, is that it? Yeah, thank you. That's it chief. All right, thanks for doing this. Stay safe. Have a good Thanksgiving. Yeah, you too. Thank you. Happy holidays and mask up. Yeah. Sure. Go Mustangs. Bye.
