 Welcome to another episode of stable talk online because Corona has yet to end to be determined if it ever will. Today we have Stevenson softball, we have KB, and how do you, sorry, how do you say, um, everything? Alex de Grandi. Okay. You guys just want to tell us a little about yourself like hometowns, maybe position major when you got into softball, things like that. Alex, you want to go first? I don't care. I don't care. So I'm Alex, I'm from Marlboro, New Jersey. I'm a catcher, third base. I major middle school math and science. I started playing softball when I was like six years old. So my name's KB. I'm from Glen Bernie, Maryland. I'm a psychology major. I play center field. And I started playing softball around like eight years old. I tried every other sport before softball. So it was almost stuck. What do you guys been up to during this quarantine? What's your guys's go to activities to say? Not bored. Oh my goodness. I played a working out. Yeah. Yeah, working out. Meditating. I've started meditating over winter break. And then I definitely slacked when like the season started. And now that like I've had nothing else to do. I started like meditating and doing like an app or what do you, what do you do for that? I use to go on YouTube and I'll do like honestly, I'll type in anything like meditations for your creativeness, motivation, concentration, all of those things. I've done so many. But they've all like, it's very. Is it like more yoga-y stuff or is it like sitting there and like practicing your like breathing? So when I do my yoga, that's when I practice more of my breathing, but like I'll do meditation either before after whenever I really want to do it. And then I'll like turn the lights off. And then I'll like lay down like on my floor or something on my yoga mat. And just listen to a guided meditation. Okay. So we wanted. So we wanted to like kind of start off by talking about. Um, your guys is bullseye. Oh my gosh. I should have grabbed him. I'm going to go grab him. Okay. Okay. Just sprint. Bullseye. We got bullseye. Like last year's our sophomore year, we got him. We were at Walmart and we saw him and we were like, whole team. We're going to get bullseye. No, just meeting. It was just you two. Yeah. I was you too. Oh, this is perfect. All right. Tell us where he originated from. She said you guys are on Walmart. The story behind it. When he makes his special appearances. All that kind of stuff. We're going to ask you where he stays, but we just found out. We know where he stays now. Well, we originally had Buck, which was literally like the reverse colors. He was lighter. I know he was our, the OG. She, um, which daughter. So they gave it to way, they need. Yeah. Lainey fell in love with him our senior day, our sophomore year. And I, I, I could not take it from her. We were like just, just keep. So one day it was, um, the woman's basketball game. Actually their playoff game. And I was like, I need another horse. I have to like show that clip from the basketball game. Oh my gosh, I was so sorry. Oh, he's running around. Congratulations to former Mustangs quarterback and pitcher Dan Williams, who is part of the offensive coaching staff for the Super Bowl 54 champion Kansas City. Yes. So literally right after practice, I rushed home, I showered, and then I went straight to Walmart and went straight to the game. And that's where Bullseye was. You got him the same day as that game. I didn't know that. And we took him, Alex, you can talk more about like when he comes out during our games. Well, Kayla is always in charge of him. And she'll usually like before the game, before it starts when like we're really about to do like our announcements and everything, she'll take it and run back and forth on the side and just like get the whole crowd like wild up and everything. And then before we go out to the field, we also, everyone touches his nose for good luck. My favorite part about him, I don't know if you can even hear it. That's awesome. Walmart finds. Yeah. No, it was so funny. Because me and Alex were roommates our freshman year until I moved off campus, actually. We were at Walmart one day and we saw him. We saw Buck and we were like, we need it. Like, we need it. I love how Walmart sells that. And you knew that Walmart sells it. I really want to speak there. You guys awesome brought him. Is it a boy or girl? A boy. Boy. You guys also brought him to one of the ice hockey playoffs too, right? Yeah. I was looking out for playoff, big playoff games and all of your games. Yeah. I was planning on taking him to all of the games from like now on, like next year, because we will be on campus speaking it into existence. I was like going to all of the games. He's like, we were going to say while it's saying junior, but like, you're like, no, he needs his own name. Yeah. I like that. Well, we're going to move into a little. We can keep Bullseye for the whole interview. OK. I like that. We're going to move into a little would you rather segment here. So start off. Would you rather get stung by a deadly hornet or captured by a UFO? You don't know where you're going on the UFO. Honestly, I would want to get captured. I would want to get captured by the UFO. Like, I would just pray that I would not be tortured. I would say at least you could have a cool story out of it. Pray there's some chill aliens. Yeah. Yeah. I'd pray for that. I was like, see the world get out. I would love that. Yeah, especially right now. All right, would you guys rather travel the world for a year on a shoestring budget or stay in only one country for a year but live in luxury? I would travel. I would travel the world. Yeah. I would just be everything. I think I'd be rich. Living like the bum life all around the world would be cool. It's not like I leave the country anyway, so. Honestly. You want to live in a country. I said I would just be rich in one country because it's not like I leave the country every year anyway. I might think it's like I've been balling on my budget since I came to college. I know. I've been balling on my budget since 1996. Literally. Now you can travel the world like that? Sure, why not? Exactly. All right, live without music or live without movies? Movies. I love my music. I know this one's hard for me too. Yeah, I'd pick movies as well. Honestly, yeah, movies because I love dancing and I love to sing way too much. So probably live that movie. I agree. All right, give up pizza or pasta forever? That's, you got them. Pizza. I love pasta. I'd have you up pizza because there's so many different options you can do with pasta. True Italian right here, what are you going to do? Honestly, I would have to give up pizza because I can't give up like big ziti, self-shows. I can't give that up. I think I'd give up pasta. Cool. I really like pizza, but I can't give up pasta. Any alabaca? Oh, yes. All right, we're going to hop into some team superlatives. So this can be anyone on your team, any coaches, trainers, whatever. So the first one is most likely to be in the best mood at 6am, lift or practices. I had a feeling when I wrote this, I was like, I feel like it's going to be her. Literally I go into every lift, like it's a different song every lift, but I'm always the one just running around, like dancing. And I'll join her sometimes, but then I'm just like, all right, I'm way too tired now. Sometimes, not all the time. Yeah, no. Most likely to become a pop singer or join a band. Alex. She's always me. No, I'm saying it's me, Aaron and Morgan. That's our band. Yeah, literally, when we were in Florida, they karaokeed in front of so many different people, like just got up there. And at like a restaurant or what? Yeah, it was like a- Was that our hotel? Yeah, it was like a cafe at our hotel. And it was karaoke? Yeah, karaoke night. What's your karaoke song? Me and Morgan, we do Bohemian Rhapsody. There's one. We took over the place. Shut the place down. Yeah. Most likely to break a world record. Break a world record. Could be a weird one, weird world record. That's what I'm like. For some reason, I'm getting like, empty or cat with like- Lifting. I would say, yeah, empty. Like her determination is crazy. Like that is one of the most determined people I've- Who's empty? Morgan Thayer. Morgan Thayer. Or the catchers. I guess this may have already been answered, but who's the best dancer? Me. Okay. What kind, do you like break out in like a break dance? What kind of dances are you- I can't break dance. I have to- I mean, it's mainly me and Kayla. She even gets in there with- I was- Jess dances? Oh, Jess. I would say Jess is the best dancer. I dance the most, probably the best. Who's hitting the TikTok dances? That's probably like Alex. I don't film them. Emma Kelly. Oh, Emma Kelly, yes. All the TikToks. She does all the- A lot of the freshmen, most of the freshmen do that. Yeah. I try to, but sometimes I can't. I look at them and I'm just like, how? I literally- Yes. I like- I don't think- I don't know how your body moves like that. Most likely to be Twitter famous. Twitter famous. He's got like- Who would put out some like good, witty tweets? Either consistently famous or one that just like blows up. Goes viral. I'm trying to think of the one that I just- Jordan Fangman. Jordan Fangman. That would be hilarious. Jordan Fangman. That would be hilarious. She would put something dumb that people just laugh at. And it would just- It would definitely be Jordan. Definitely be Jordan. All right, we're going to go into some question and answers. What's your guys' most prized possession and why? Okay. KB's got hers in the front. Yeah, right here. No, it's like- I can't like- I have to cover his ears because I had another one. I'm surprised. I'm surprised. Prized possession. This is actually really hard. I know. I have to be- Mmm, this is so hard. I would probably have to say like my family, I guess. Okay. That's a good answer. Yeah. Family and friends, yeah. I also have this thing in my room that my great grandma sewed before I was even born. It's been a laptop. Snow white in the seven doors. I don't know if you can see. It's right there. Okay. Yeah. She sewed it. Oh, it's like- And like when I was born. Yeah. When I was born, I looked, everyone kept saying that I looked just like Snow White and it's like really weird how like she sewed that for me before I was born. And like- Okay. She passed away like a week after I was born too. So like it's just like really cool to me. Yeah, I like that. Which famous person passed or present would you have lunch with? Jennifer Lopez. Ooh. Oh! Right on the dot. I love Jennifer Lopez. Where would you guys go? And you guys could dance together. Exactly. You could go eat your pasta or where would you take her? Or where would she take you? I would take you to like some fancy restaurant in New York that like I just feel like I don't belong. Because you're like the Bronx. Yeah. Yeah, she's from the Bronx. Are her and A-Rod married or not yet? Not yet. They're engaged. They're not married. They're engaged. Honestly. Oh my gosh, this is hard. Honestly, I probably like famous, Kobe Bryant. At like- Honestly. Yeah. Because I know we have the same initials plus just reading so much about him. And it's like and he just did so much and he was heavily like involved in his faith. Like I am and he was just a very successful athlete. So I just love just to hear him talk. What? I said, Macy, who would you eat with? I don't know. There's so many people, but like athlete-wise. I think I'd go like Jack Black or something. Like something. Oh my God. He's definitely, I don't like him. Really? Remember when he was- He was funny. Did you guys ever watch the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards? Yeah. When he hosted them, I hated it. It was always on April Fool's Day, I remember. Me and my friend would always have sleepovers. And then once he started hosting all of them were like, I'm done with this. I'm not watching this anymore. I hate him. But- Wow, that's a bold one. I would probably choose like, I really like Abby Wombach from the US women's soccer team. I like her. Yeah. And then like a non-serious answer would be like, clothing Kardashian. Or like Scott Disick. I really like Scott Disick. I love Scott. I probably have one. I know. If I could like see one famous person, it would be him. I don't know why. He's not that great, but I just like- What is he? Actor? No, he's the date Courtney Kardashian. I don't really know. He's not really- Does he like do anything though? He's like clothing brands and like does club appearances. That's literally it. He's a public figure. Yeah. Like a Kardashian would be like my ultimate goal to get a lunch with. I feel like they're like the top of the top. Oh yeah, for sure. Jay, who'd you choose? He's Kardashian. Someone musically, I'm sure. Yeah. Um, best Stevenson travel experience. Ooh. Travel experience, it's been a lot. Probably, okay, this sounds, this is hard actually. Like I'm bathing in between like a Florida trip and then our last bus ride. Burpees. We got fried chicken from our farm. I got a whole pack of fried chicken, like the 12 pack of fried chicken. That was my first time having fried chicken from rural farms and I was like, wow. Oh my gosh, I literally lived right next to one. I'm talking about your opinion, but I think rural farms fried chicken is kind of like eh. I'm just like that. I've never had a fried chicken, but the wedge fries are so good. I think those are eh too. But like I'm a wall wall girl to heart. Oh, me too. Jersey all the way, wall wall. Wall wall are sheets. Wall wall. Wall wall. Wall wall. Got it. Wall wall. I like their prop chicken, the prop corn chicken, but yeah, wall wall more overall. Okay, what do you enjoy most about softball? I think like just the team environment, like especially our team, like we're all like super close. Like we just tell each other everything. We'll also pick on each other. Like I treat them like they're my sisters and like I'll just pick on them for literally no reason. Just to have fun, but just like the whole like team environment, like acting like a family. Like I think that's what's like super fun about it. Yeah, I have to say the team because even though we only got like two game days, literally it was two game days and we had a whole month of straight practice. Like a lot of other, if I was doing that with any other team, I probably would have been losing my mind, but like coaching has a really good job of making it very interactive and having fun and building that team environment. So that definitely like, that's my favorite part about softball. I can see that she has a really good job with that. Yeah. That's coached, that's coached. She always has ideas, it's amazing. What'd you say? She always has like different ideas for practice. I can see like all the stuff that she does like on social media and stuff. I can see that like she could be really well liked. Yeah. We're gonna actually ask you guys at the end to tell us your favorite like coach Julia's story. But we have, before you get going, we got one section, we're gonna test your Stevenson and softball trivia here. Oh God. All right. So how many Stevenson players currently play professionally in Europe? I want to say currently zero because nobody's playing. But that is true around that. But it's not the recruiting, but sure. Yeah. I would say like two. Oh, I was gonna go with like eight. I was gonna shoot high. It's two. Two. Oh yeah. I don't know who it is. I should have looked it up who it was, but there we go. Bullseye's in it. All right. What year did Stevenson softball become the 16th sport at Stevenson University? 16th slash 17th, because baseball and softball were like at the same time. I want to say what school year. You're thinking before hockey's and before beach volleyball. 2002. Okay, what's your what's your answer, Alex? 2000. Yeah. 1999-2000. All right, we're one for one. We have one final question left. All right, let's go. What year was softball first played in the Olympics or Olympic medal sport? I know it stopped in 2012, so I want to say. 19. I want to say 1986, I don't know what it is. Your answer is 1986. We're going to go with that. Is that even an Olympic year for spring sports? I have no idea. No, it would be. It would be 84. It would be 84, 80. I was going to say 19. Okay, now I'll do 1976. 1984, almost. The other way, other way. Oh, yeah. Not, okay, then 1990, who do you say? 1992. 98. Down. 94. Up. 96. There you go. Yeah, there you go. At least you got right that you knew what year it ended. Yeah, that's one. Why'd they take it out? I'm not educated. I don't even know if I knew that to be honest with you. Yeah. I don't know. Bring it back this in 2020, though. They're bringing it back. Yeah, in Japan. Skating was going to be in it, too. Was it really? Skateboarding, yeah. That's so crazy. Was it like the skateboarders now, like Tony Hawk or? No. That's the only skateboarder I know. I feel like I'm tired. Tony's like. Do you guys ever watch his reality show? I did before. I used to have all the little Tony Hawk things, too. I was such a tomboy. I was such a tomboy. There's a little skateboard. The finger ones. The tech decks. The tech decks. The tech decks are so much fun. I actually keep one on my desk because when I'm making music or making videos, and I'm just stuck, I kind of just sit there and start tech decking for a couple of minutes. I had one in fifth grade, and I got a pompous game. Is that what? I've never had an element like me. Now your desk would say, and you had the thing underneath your desk while your books went. I would like to play with it in there. Those were loud, too. Yeah. Yeah. Tech decks are fun. All right, to wrap things up, your favorite coach, Julia's story. Oh, man. We want to hear what you got. Oh, my gosh. I'm not going to think of a good one. Could be on a game day, a bus trip. Very practical. Oh, my gosh, I have one. OK, so this is my freshman year. And we played one or two. We had one or two game days before we went to Florida. I can't remember. But this umpire made a terrible fall while we were in Florida. And really, there was a run-on second. And she was running the third. And the batter hit the ball at a shortstop. So Aaron Steffi went to go field the ball. And she literally ran right into her. Made no attempt to get out of her way. And she was going towards the ball. So she had the right towards the ball. Well, he caught an obstruction on Aaron. And Coach Jay, I was not free. I was standing at the field. Coach Jay was sitting on that bucket. And he caught that obstruction. She got up and was like, walking over there. This umpire is like 5'3". Like so short. Guy or girl? She's like the foot. OK. Guy. And she's like looking at her. She's like, how are you going to call that? And he said, I can't remember the exact wording. But he said either calm down, sweetie, or calm down, honey. Something like that. And she was like, do not call me that. You would not call a male coach. I was like, that was like one of my first. I was like, oh my god. That's so bad. Any time Coach Jay argues with the umpires, it's like, it's so funny. Because she's so much taller than all of them. He's like 5'3". She's like at least 6'3", right? She's 6'3". Does she ever hit a hat throw? No, she doesn't. I've never seen her hit a hat throw. I don't think she would want to take it off of her little leg. She has her hair all the way up there. She'd be too worried about her hair getting messed up. Yeah, it's just fried in her hair. Any time she interacts with the umpires, I'm just like, yes, Coach Jay. I know we're all like back in her room. What did they call the beam? Did they take your guys aside or no? No. At least she tried. But she's got some moral momentum there. Let's put some fire on the guys. I think we have like going 500 our first year in Florida. Something like that. I think we did, yeah. Yeah. Alex, what's your story for us? I don't know because that one is hilarious when she does that. I know. You just, she like froze for me in the most like. Yeah, I know. It was just like watching like an animated stop motion because you were like this and then this. I had a thing. I don't even know honestly. I think it's just a funny one. I don't know because I always had such funny interactions with Coach Jay that like. I know it's hard to pick one. Oh, this is hard. It could be a team story, a team moment. Yeah. And it's something that represents Stevenson's softball. Oh my God. Why am I blanking right now? Like bus rides. You know, on bus rides, we play games. I know. We do heads up. You can talk about when she does the drills with us, the games, like the tic-tac-toe agility, her and Coach Kim. Oh. That was funny. He was so salty. She lost. Coach Jay always honestly, what I love about Coach Jay is that she'll always like get in on like agility and games with us. And she'll like always destroy us because like one of her steps is like five of mine. And like whenever she tries to play games with us, I'm like, this is not fair, Coach Jay. And I don't know. Or same game. How she does shame. Oh, if you don't like meet the requirement, something, or if you get out in the game, she's like, you're in shame. You got to go to the corner. Like they will make the whole team point at you and then you go stay in the corner by yourself. For how long? Until like the competition's over. Oh, OK. But it's like a funny thing. It's like special human. He was thinking like weeks on end. Oh, no. You just stayed in and don't eat. Yeah. Same state. Like she has an acronym for it, though. It's like special human. Special human. Advant. I can't remember. But it's not like a bad shame. It's more like funny. Funny shame. Yeah. Yeah. I like what she tries to explain drills to me and I have no idea what she's saying. She'll explain a drill, like everything. Everyone understands it. And I'm just like, Coach Jay, I have no idea what you just said. That's how I would be. That's how I would be. She would like to name you. Well, before we hop off, are there any shout-outs you guys want to make? Where to follow you? Quarantine. Quarantine tips. Follow my Instagram at Alex underscore and follow my Twitter at Alex underscore to grandi underscore. There's an extra underscore in the Twitter. My Instagram, I'll shout it out. It's kbriles3s.

Me being a psych major, I was like analyzing like everything. What? I was like. You have this disorder? You made it. You made it so far. You should have just, that's such a good show. You should just. It was like, it was like. It doesn't get worse than the finger. It was just so shocking. And I kind of like was like half paying attention, half like on my phone and all of a sudden I look up and the guy, even the guy out of nowhere just goes. I was like, Yeah, you cannot watch Dexter.
