 season three finale of stable talk. We have Shannon Snyder, senior defender from Westminster, Maryland, and Kirsten Foster, junior defender from Lothian, Maryland. Is that how you say it? Yeah. Or Lothian. Lothian. Lothian, Maryland. Yeah, this is our season finale of season three. Do you guys just want to like do some quick like bio information? Maybe like how you got to Stevenson? Why do you play lacrosse? Just quick. Shannon, you can go first. Okay. So I'm Shannon Snyder. I'm a senior defender on the women's lacrosse team. I'm a, did I say I was a bio major? I don't know. I'm a bio major with a psych minor. I actually first came to Stevenson, committed to soccer, and I went through that. I played soccer and lacrosse both my freshman year and ended up sticking with lacrosse and not both. Both was a little much with my bio major. So I just kind of stuck with lacrosse. Just it was that family sense that I wanted. Like I love the girls and everything that came with it. And it was just fun for me. It just made me love the sport. I played it in high school. I never expected to play it in college and I just loved it ever since. Yeah. So I'm Kirsten Foster, junior defender like Shannon. Well, not junior, but from Lothian, like you said. Where's Lothian? It's like 20 minutes south of Annapolis. So I really thought I was in Frederick County. I really thought I was in Frederick County. Nobody knows where it is. I'm like, it's just near Annapolis. It's like Savannah Park. Further south. Okay. Yeah. But so I played three sports in high school, like Shannon did. We're like the same. We're like the same person. She's just a year younger than me. What's the third sport? Yeah, what's the third sport? So soccer, basketball, lacrosse. And I like didn't play club lacrosse. I played for one season. I never thought I was going to play in college, but just being an athlete, I was like, I need that motivation. If I'm going to go to college, I need to play a sport. Ask anybody on my team. That's true. But yeah, I just like needed to play a sport. So I started looking local. Um, and Stevenson was great, like an hour and a half away from home. And my family can come to all the games. So that was like the deal breaker. Yeah. Which sport do you guys miss more? Soccer, basketball, soccer? Since I experienced it in college, I like got that sense and like it kind of like, I don't know, maybe it drove me a little bit more away from soccer, but I miss basketball so much. I love watching college basketball so much. Did you ever play in high school? I used to like be on the turf every day, no matter what. So did you, I guess your schools never played each other in high school or did they? No. What high school did you go to? Southern. Oh, no. I went to Winnersville High School. Yeah. No. I miss like the competitive aspect of basketball and like contact, but like there's none of that. You get up there? Sorry, did you hear my computer? I didn't know about you guys. It was making those noises again. So I just like turned it off. I'm having technical difficulties today and my computer, my work computer is one of them. That's why I'm on my mom's computer. All right. Well, we'll do a trivia in a sec, but first it is December. Have you guys done like your Christmas shopping and stuff or where are you at with that stuff? Absolutely. I shop all year round. Me too. I have all of it done, but I love Christmas shopping decoration, like shopping for decorations. So I go on Christmas tree, I have one upstairs. Yeah, like Christmas tree is cute in the back. Or is this not my Christmas tree? Yeah, I love it. Mostly done online shopping? Basically, yeah. I think that's like the easiest, it just sends. Yeah. Now I have to, so. This is Black Friday shopping. Yeah, I did too. Me too. I did go out for Black Friday, but it was like to Target and like one other place and that was it. Is it crowded? The Target was. Bella and Target is always crowded. Bella and Target is always crowded, but they had like, you could tell that it was more crowded because they had like mind and like the like ropes that connect to separate people and stuff. But yeah, Target was crowded. Have you guys made any Christmas cookies or anything? I tried to make, so like at my house at school with my roommates, I tried to make these sugar cookies. There was a handmade roll. Yeah, I tried, but it was not because I didn't know you had to freeze the dough before you put it in the oven for it to keep the shape. And those things were like the flattest, crispiest cookies I've ever made. I was so disappointed. I'm just not a baker, so like my roommates will bake stuff, but I'll eat them. I don't, I don't. Okay. I feel like I've never been a cooker or a baker, but like the past like month or two, I've baked like just like five or six different things and I've never baked before my life. How they turn out? Were they good? Yeah. I think I'm missing my collet and there's some things. I made these like, I hear what they're called. They're like doughnut pumpkin muffins. I made this back in like Halloween time and they were like golden like cinnamon sugar and like pumpkin. Oh my God, they were so good. That sounds pretty banging. It was so good. And like, I did everything perfect. Like you've been making cakes too, haven't you? Didn't you make a cake or two? Oh wait, I forgot. I shouldn't have been talking about how good my baking was because the cake I made for my mom's birthday in September was horrible. It was a hot milk cake. But it sounds like you redeemed yourself. Yeah, I did, but it was a hot milk cake and we went to like a Mexican restaurant for her birthday, but it brought the cake with me and the milk is, it's hot milk for a reason. It's just like warm the milk before you put it in. I didn't do that or eating. I was like, yeah, something's wrong with this. And I was like explaining to my mom what I had done. And she's like, you didn't heat up the milk or boil it or something. And I also like put a stick of butter in it and the stick of butter was cold. So like, I couldn't get it all mashed up. So I was like, oh, well, it'll melt anyway once I put it in the oven. But like, you're not supposed to do that. I wouldn't have done the same thing though. We want to do trivia now. Yeah. Okay. Get ready. We have three questions for you and then like a little bonus. In the last 12 women's across seasons, how many of those 12 were winning seasons? 10. I was going to say nine. 11. Underestimated. Okay. How many Mac Commonwealth championships game appearances does women's lacrosse have? It's definitely more than that. I was going to say six. Yeah. I suck. Two? I was like, it's definitely more than two. I thought about us and then the time we won. That's all I could remember. Okay. What current or past season women's lacrosse member currently holds the record for ground balls? Sarah? Do you know how many? And then the bonus is how many? Wait, how many in like total of her career? Yeah. Three, three plus the few weeks that you have to say that for you. I feel like my dog in the basement. Okay. I would say he's definitely 284. 284 is my guess. No, no, two of them. Now I gotta like plan this out. Like 130. She hears voices like coming from my laptop and thinking to my mom. Love puppy. Now the guys were both from all of them, fortunately, but it was 178. I gave her a lot more. I don't know if she made it to 184 if there was. She probably could have made it up to that. Yeah. 100% one of. Yeah. All right. We'll do would you rather in a second? But first you guys got, we always tell people they gotta tell us like their favorite coach story. I have one. I don't know if it's like a true story or not. Hit us. Hit us. Tell us a lie. But like freshman year, everybody told us that she was like deathly afraid of birds. So then like at practice, like birds like would fly over the field and we would just like look to see her reaction and she had no reaction. So I don't know if it's true or not. I know the bird that flies over the field where I'm like, coach is going to freak out. I don't know if it's true or not. It's true. It's only the big birds. Like those little pigeons don't bother her. It's like that big like a hawk or what? The ones that eat stuff. Yeah. Yeah. I can see that. I have a little bit of a fear of birds that have big wings. Like that it will pick you up or attack you or like the sound of their wings. That's what it is for her. I think I'm pretty sure like the sound of those flying wings or like if it like comes near her, it's definitely just the big birds because she has had a reaction to the big bird over practice. I've only really had a reaction over like seagulls. If they're sitting near me, it's fine. But when they're like flapping their wings around you. Yeah, seagulls at the beach are always annoying. I used to work as like a beach lifeguard in Rehoboth and they would like swarm the stand and like I'd be like, oh my god. I can definitely understand that fear. Okay. Would you rather? Would you rather have more time or more money? Time. I'm a procrastinator. So I'd just take the money. I feel that. I would just use up all the time. Buy more time with all the money, I feel like. Would you rather have to walk to school 40 minutes both ways and have free tuition or would you rather drive to campus in less than 10 minutes but your tuition's doubled? Oh, walk. Yeah, my mom would kill me if I didn't say walk. I know, but like I also was thinking I was like, you know, 40 minutes walking is like so normalized in like a city. But if you were to walk in Owingsville for 40 minutes, like you'd be like, what is that girl doing? Yeah, I'm trying to think of how many like miles 40 minutes would be. I was going to say you could pick it up to a jog or a run and we can make it there in like 20. Yeah, yeah, I would probably have to do that. I'd rather probably run. Yeah, I'd rather run it than walk. Yeah. All right, would you rather only be able to wear sweatpants for the rest of your life or never be able to wear sweatpants? Only. Yeah, only. Only. Yeah. I feel like I would go to never, I don't know, because I would miss shorts. Does that mean you're not allowed to wear shorts? Is that what that means? Roll them up. You can make them capris and then you can make them short. Roll them up. I guess. I don't know. I might have to go with never again, because I will wear shorts until it's like. One of those. Because like I just get so hot. I can't control my body temperature. So I like I need. I'm always cold. Like a sweatshirt in shorts. I'm good at that. I have a heated blanket on my lap right now. Pretty high quality. Yeah. Okay. Would you rather only have your paycheck given to you in pennies or never be able to use cash ever again? Never use cash. Never use cash. I already told you. That one's kind of easy. Wait, did I word it wrong? Or would you rather only ever be able to use cash? Like you can't use a debit or credit card. Like you always have to have that amount of cash in your wallet. How about that? Okay. So either your paycheck in all pennies or only use cash. That one's a bit harder. I think I'd still use cash. Yeah, cash. Yeah. Coins piss me off. Can you know like extremely inconvenient? Yeah. At least ours. Like this sounds so bad, but I feel like I've thrown away. I hate when people give me back coins. I'm like I don't want the coins. At the restaurant. I won't pick it up. But if it's a restaurant I used to be a server for, they would tell us that if it was cash we had to split it between everyone that worked. But if it was coins you got to keep it. So I used to tell my friends and family if I was waiting them to just like tip me in coins. And then I just wouldn't have to split it. There you go. I just want to have that. I'm sure that was like unethical, but you wait on the table. So yeah, yeah, exactly. Money. All right. Would you rather have to hunt and gather for all your food or only eat McDonald's? That's a pretty harsh question. Yeah, because like that one guy died from eating so much McDonald's. Yeah, this is a pretty harsh question. Wasn't that like the supersize me thing? I think I'd have to hunt and gather because I could not eat McDonald's. My stomach could not eat me. Yeah, hunt and gather. What would you, what would be your like thing that you would go hunt for? I would fish. Start with fishing then go, probably go try to shoot a deer. You guys fished or hunted before? Both things are just fished. I feel like I've never shot a deer or anything like that. I haven't shot a deer, but I've attempted. There you go. You're one step into the game. But I don't have the patience for fishing though. That's my only problem. I can't be quiet enough for hunting. I can't just sit there and I'm like, I can't do it. Last one, would you, oh, this is. Did you write this one? Yes. I can tell. Would you rather celebrate the 4th of July with Taylor Swift or Christmas with Mariah Carey? Christmas with Mariah Carey. I feel like she'd be mean. I think she'd be mean too. Mariah Carey. Yeah. She'd be the person. Like if I didn't dress nice enough for her, I feel like she would do it. Yeah. Uh, yeah, I'd still do Christmas. Well, like I've heard that Taylor Swift like throws these like amazing 4th of July parties at like that Rhode Island house that I don't know if you guys are Taylor Swift. Like always on the water. Like her friends are always on the boat. Yeah. And she has a big Rhode Island house. I feel like I live before she lives in Rhode Island. Well, she has a house in Rhode Island. She has one of her houses in Rhode Island. Yeah. Which one would you choose? Do you want to be running out of time? I don't really have a calling either way on this one. I guess we'll go with Mariah Carey because I don't really like Taylor Swift's music. Okay. All right. This one I changed the name to. Burning Questions. It may seem Jay's burning questions. Like Ellen's burning questions. They seem Jay's burning questions. And it's just like rapid fire questions because there's all say the question and you guys have to answer like immediately what comes to your mind. So I'll say the question and then we'll do Kirsten. You'll answer first and then Shannon you'll follow right after. Oh gosh. And you you're allowed to pass if you don't want to answer but like don't pass everyone because it's not as fun. Okay. Am I doing a timer? Yeah. Should we be longer than two minutes because he's only got two. Yeah. We can do like two thirty. Two thirty. Okay. Do we get like a heads up on one it's on so I can like get ready to prepare? They're just like silly stuff. Okay. Some are like lacrosse. They're just not like serious questions. Are you ready Jay? Yeah. Three, two, one. Okay. What are you going to do right right directly after you get off this podcast? Finals. Homework. What's the most fun you've ever had on the lacrosse field? The run tests. Beating Messiah. Running clock. Oh. Okay. Finish the sentence. You can't ever have too much blank. Money. Time. Okay. What's what is your hidden talent? I run a lot. I run a lot. I guess when he comes to running. I didn't talent. I passed out and I don't think I have anything hidden. What's your current TV or movie obsession? I watch cooking shows. Vampire Diaries. Who is your first celebrity crush? Probably somebody like there's one guy in Wizards of Waverly Place. I think I liked him. I can't remember. Oh, I know you're talking about. They're Justin. What's his name? I don't remember once we're done. I know you're talking about. Where was the Werewolf Boyfriend? One of those. It was. I know you're talking about. My Theo James from Divergent. What are your three things you must, what are three things that you must do every single day? Brush my teeth. Shower and eat cosmic brownies. I love you. I would say I work out every day. I take a scolding hot shower every day. I eat eggs every day for breakfast. Nice. If you could only watch one reality TV show for the rest of your life, which one would it be? Oh, I'm going to get hate but keeping up with the Kardashians. Yes, no, me too. I would say The Bachelorette. I like both of those. I couldn't choose. If you could teach one subject in school, what would it be? Math. I want to be like the cool math teacher since everybody hates it. Science, like human anatomy or something like that. What's your dream job? Teacher. Okay, my unrealistic one is a bracketologist. My realistic one is an orthopedic PA. Okay. Where do you not mind waiting? Okay, we'll keep going. But you guys only have three questions left. That's very good. Where do you not mind waiting? In line at like a store that I like, if I really like the store. Mine would be for any type of food. What's your favorite holiday or Christmas song? Christmas's favorite holiday. Song, song, song. No, I think mine just cut out. I was like, what? All good classic. I'll do Jingle Bells. My only one for Christmas is you. I'm a writer. There we go. And last one. What's the weirdest present that you've ever received for Christmas? My mom got me like this bright orange sweater. I don't know if she thought I would wear it. I got it in middle school. It still has a towel. Yeah, I was gonna ask. I can't throw it away. There has to be some type of clothing that I just didn't ask for now. I do my own shopping and I give it to them and ahead of time they just give it to me a month later for Christmas. They've learned from it. That's funny. That's it. Wait, but I do have a question about the jobs that you guys both said. I don't remember what it was, but I didn't remember. I didn't know what either of them were. The dream job. What was yours? What's the first one that you said? What is that? It's a bracketologist, so during more time, most people that like basically get paid to like make brackets. That's nice. Are there some, I'm guessing like, do they do other brackets throughout the year? No, because it's only within March, like that tournament. So like they just watch college basketball throughout. Like obviously it started already, but so they just, they're watching it now to help them predict for March. Nice. They make a lot of money too. Yeah. And then my other one is actually realistic. So a physician assistant. So basically like you go see a physician. So I would work underneath the physician and be their assistant. And I love working with like bones and muscles and stuff like that. So. Macy, we should have been bracketologists. I don't know. Um, I feel like I had another question. Where do you want to be a teacher? What are you, do you want to stay in Maryland? Uh, I don't really know. My boyfriend's like really hard, so he has to find a job with like space, I guess. So I can go wherever basically. True. That's a nice thing about being a teacher. And I want to do like special ed. Okay. Well, we have two minutes and 30 seconds left because we can't afford, um, premium Zoom. We always tell people if they want to shout out anyone or if they have any favorite motivational quotes or any social medias they want to plug. Yeah. Um, I'll shout out my mom because she's going to watch this as soon as the orange sweater. Yeah. Yeah. Shout out to mom. Love you. Yeah. I guess I'd say my parents because they're like you said they're going to watch as soon as it comes out. Okay. I'll say hi to them and then my sister Erin. Great. All right. Well, happy holidays. Good luck on finals. Thank you. Stay safe. Stay in isolation.
