 Welcome to stable talk episode four. We have the tennis team with us today. We have Isha and Luke out of Ellicott City and Brooklyn, Maryland. How are you guys doing? Good. How are you? I'm chilling. I'm living. I got I got like half a grilled cheese sitting here still. Nice. I'm doing all right. Go ahead Isha. All right. Um, yeah, I'm doing fine, you know relaxing. I was going to say something about this grilled cheese. I just finished a quesadilla and it was really good. Oh my god. My house phone won't stop ringing. I can't hear that. Your doorbell? No, my house phone. Oh, okay. We're going to start off with some introduction. So like tell us majors. You play singles or doubles. How you started playing tennis, all the good stuff. Who wants to start? Luke's older. He got it. Oh, okay. All right. Well, I'm older, but I'm also not as smart as Isha. So I'm a year behind. I'm a year behind her. So I'm Luke. I commute. I'm in Towson. I played last season. I played number four singles number three doubles this year. I hope to move up to number two doubles and keep that number four single spot. Um, the shortened season kind of sucked because I like moved my way into the singles line of last year. So it kind of was unfortunate that and I was playing really well. Like I semi-finaled in the conference tournament. I was playing well in the spring. So it kind of sucked that COVID happened. But yeah, my major is business communications and I'm minor in psych. Isha? I'm a senior now and I'm a psych major with a bio minor. I want to do like neurology with that. But I play singles and doubles as well. Like most of the time in college, you play both. High school, you can't do that college. You can. I played two doubles last year and I think four singles as well last year. Um, yeah. How'd the Eagles do yesterday, Luke? Oh, they lost against my team. Oh, okay. You're a football team fan. Okay. There you go. There you go. What a name. What a name. That's funny. All right. Our first question for you. If you had to estimate what is the longest tennis match you've ever had? Oh, this is right in your alley, Isha. This is you. This early. I am literally the one who is the last one playing at every match. Literally, I played a match yesterday. I won it in a third set tie break. My match is two hours and 10 minutes. Geez. Yeah. As long as you've had or? Um, the longest are about the two hour range. My last, my week, oh God, my match I had last week was it was an hour and a half. So like I'm like the long run type person. Yeah. I'm trying to see. What's like the shortest you've ever had? Oh, that's easy. I beat a girl 0 and 0 in 20 minutes. Yeah. No, mine was a couple of weeks ago. I beat a guy 0 and 1, 6-0, 6-1 in 15 minutes. And he couldn't even warm up. He could not compete with me. But my longest match was a few weeks ago at Goucher. I took this kid eight sets. He's a three-star recruit currently and he's being looked at by Goucher. And we won three sets and it was three hours. So when you guys are saying you're like playing matches right now, like, are these just like friendly, just like backyard matches? So what you should not are doing right now is we're doing this thing. It's called a UTR Flex League. Basically what it is, it takes like your score from your matches. It creates like a number for you and you're playing like other people within like a two UTR range. So it's like a dating app, but for playing tennis. Yeah, I guess. That's actually cool. I like that concept. Is there like an app for it? Yeah. Yeah. So it's darn. I was like, I might have a billion-dollar idea. Yeah, no, it's called UTR. tournaments are back now. So I'm pretty much playing a tournament every weekend. Just trying to get back in the swing of things. Yeah, yeah. After the spring ended, I didn't play. I like was working out and running every day, but like I just started playing leagues again, like a couple weeks ago. So back in it. That's awesome. Well, you already answered my question. What a deuce is. Should we have a re-explain it? So deuce is basically when you're like tied in the game itself. You both have 40-40, which is like you won three points each. And yeah, and basically you have two ways to win. It could be next point wins, or if you're playing with ad, it's two points to win. So you guys can, if one person wins a point and then the next person wins a point, like the opposite person wins, it goes back to deuce. And that's literally me. Like I go to deuce like 10 times in one game. I remember that your Catholic match last fall, that was crazy. I think in your last game, you had like 20 deuses or so. So my dad and I were just sitting there counting them. It was such a good match though. Like even though like it may not seem like fun to like sit there like the time, but like yeah, and it's stressful for her to be out there. Like we're doing it. It's she's so fun to watch. Like you're such a fighter. She's fighting for every ball. Oh, I love that. Watch. Okay, our first segment is our second segment segment. We're gonna play would you rather? Would you rather have a live-in chef or a live-in massage therapist? I would do a massage therapist. I like cooking. So I'd rather just get massages all the time. Yeah, my shoulders screwed up. So I would love to have the massage like literally every match. I'm just like icing my shoulder. So yeah, so I would love that. That one's hard for me. I don't know how to cook. So I think I have to go with the chef. Okay, would you rather have spaghetti for hair or mayonnaise for sweat? Oh, I hate mayonnaise. I despise mayonnaise. So I would do the spaghetti. No one's gonna see my hair. Perfect. Perfect. Are we putting like red sauce on the hair? No, just straight up noodles. All right. Because I'll yeah, I guess I would do that one. But if there was sauce, I might have to go with the mayonnaise sweat. Yeah. What about you, Luke? Oh, God, um, I love my hair. So I'm gonna have to go for the mayonnaise. I know it's gross, but Would you rather have all your Google searches ever made public or all the photos in your phone made public? Hide in my phone. So my phone is out in the open. Go ahead. So you're you're willing to give it all up. Yep. Take my phone right now. Go through it. Go ahead. The private browser for the win. So go ahead, Google. There you go. They can't find that. He said incognito. It's what I'm saying. So I guess Google. I don't know. I Google search some weird things. Not like, not like bad things, but just like random things that come in my head, like pop up in my head. I'm like, I need to figure this out right now. And like, my Google searches are so weird. I'd rather have my camera roll be exposed. Yeah, I think our camera roll. People will look at my Google searches and be like, this girl's legit dumb. That's how people look at me already. So yeah, I feel that. Yeah. Okay, would you rather have spinach in your teeth forever or have an eyelash stuck in your eye forever? I hate the feeling of an eyelash. Yeah. Do I get like continuous eye drops throughout the day? No. Where is the spinach? Is it very noticeable? Spinach. We're wearing masks. So the spinach. She's always finding loopholes. Yeah, that's true. I'll go with the spinach just because the mask like holds, like hides it. Yeah. For now, hopefully, we won't have to wear a mask much longer. I could put gum over it. I could like have my gum like over top. Like top with your bottom one only. Yeah, I guess. Like, I'm dipping, I guess. All right. So we're going to do some team superlatives. So this could be tennis player, Annie Stevenson, coach, athletic trainer, loudest on the team. Oh, okay. So for the girls team, well, she's now, she's, is Nina a GA now? She might, I think, I don't think she is. She wanted to be, but since they canceled it, I think she's just a volunteer coach. Okay. I would say Nina. Well, like current player, you. Yeah, I thought you were going to say her too. But I would say like, if we're like looking at like everyone, like who I've like, like in the past, like the past two and a half years, I would say, I would say Nina, coaching. I don't know. She, her and I are very similar when it comes to like actions on the court. Like she's just like very vocal, like whether she's like playing well or playing bad. So. Yeah, you can definitely hear them from like, even if they're playing well, and they'll be still screaming for the other team, like our other teammates. So like, you can hear them from literally court four to court one. Boys team. Oh, the boys team. Yeah. We're not the boys team. Luke, definitely. So we got both the loudest people on the podcast. Yeah, you really do. Luke and Doug, he was a senior two years ago. Doug, I think also gets that award. He's also coach Doug at this point too now. So they're back. Now is that is Luke loud all the time or just when like hitting that a bounce? Do you get some He's loud all the time. We'll be running at 6am. He'll be like, let's go on my stage. I'm like, oh god. You're like, please stop now. No, but then I'll just follow up. It's called staying game. Like it doesn't stop. Got a model after Peter. Yes. Let's go Pete. So this question is pretty much goes hand in hand, but the biggest personality on the team. I would say Ray for the guys. It's a good one. Ray's just like, yeah, Ray's such a nice guy. And he's always like, he's a good leader. So it's great. He's using his like eligibility like coming back because that's just as a whole. It gives us another like leader on the team. For the girls, I'm trying to think. I would say a whole bunch of new girls. We have six new freshmen. So we don't even know them like that anymore. We have like five returners. I would say Megan Megan, Megan stepped up so much like in years and she went from like the bottom of the lineup to like last year she was playing number two and right now she's on pace to play one. She's such a leader to the girls team and just as a whole. So yeah, Ray and Megan. All right. What about most likely to appear on Jimmy Kimmel? Oh my god, Ben. Definitely. Oh gosh. Why would he like go viral or something? Ben's the social media guru of the team. He's like popular on social media. He's popping off on TikTok. Yeah, he went viral on TikTok. Yeah. For the girls team, I definitely think it'd be Jackie. She's just so like crazy. Just like doing the weirdest things at all time. So I think it'd be Jackie for the girls team. Entertainment. Yeah, definitely the team entertainment. Okay. Last relative. Most likely to crash a wedding. He's not currently on the team right now but you should know him. Alex. Oh yeah. He was a, was he a freshman? I mean you were a freshman when he was a senior. Senior, yeah. Yeah, my freshman year. So two years ago. Yeah, Alex for sure. Has he like done stuff like that before? Like why do you say that? He's just so funny. Like he just like says the funniest stuff. Good girls. I think the whole girls team wanted to crash coach's wedding. So I put the whole girls team in the loop. We were all literally gonna like, we had Roxy coach's wife. We call her Mama R. She like told us about the wedding. Like we weren't a lot of go regardless. She told us the location in the day. Not like the exact location of the city. And we were like, we're all gonna go. We're all gonna go. And then coach was like yelling at us. He was like, no, you're not. You didn't invite you? No, we're not allowed to go this way. That was, that's some shade. Yeah, I know, right? Okay, now we're gonna do, we're gonna test you on your tennis trivia. We'll see how good you guys are. Oh, I'm not gonna be good at it. I feel like that. I'm fresh off of watching the US Open final last night. I was crazy. I came home and watched it. I'm so mad with the result. What happened? I don't know. What do you watch? You're mad at it? I'm the biggest Sasha's favorite fan in the world. Yeah, I'm sorry. Who won? Who won? Yeah. Okay. Okay, first question. Who has won the most women's Wimbledon single titles? Is this Serena? I was gonna say Venus. No, Wimbledon. The most Wimbledon title. Can I Google it? No, I'm gonna, I'll give you a hint. Let me Google her and I'll give you a hint. She was, she is an American tennis player, but she was not born. What does her name start with? Her last name? Her last name starts with an N. In the N? Yeah. And it's like a really long last name. It's a Russian last name. It's like Napa. Her first name is M. Martina. Yeah, Martina Napa. Yeah. Yeah. You knew, you knew who it was, but you just couldn't. Serena Williams won her first grand slam title at the U.S. Open. What year? 94. 96. Oh, 99. Yeah. She, I remember the video, y'all. Okay. Okay, now we're on to, this is where it really counts. Stevenson, tennis career. The men's tennis team finished their 2018-2019 season with what overall record? Oh my God. It wasn't this season that just got cut short. It was the fourth. I know, I know we have one loss in total. 13-1. You had more than one loss. We lost the Salisbury. Okay, we lost the Salisbury. We lost the MIT. We lost the Hartford. Yeah, that's it. That's it. Was it 22 and 3? 17 and 3 we have. Okay, they didn't include a postseason. Okay. Oh, sorry. Yeah, I did it all overall. That's all good. No, I just knew it. It was losses. How many total singles wins did the women's team have in 18-19? So like cumulative? Oh, the year, okay. I thought you meant like, 18-109. No. We won that. 2018-2019. And how many cumulative singles wins did the women's team have? Like are you like, like you're including like six, like we have six single matches in one. Okay, okay, okay. Like as a whole. Okay, we'll do a multiple choice. Okay, thank you. 19, 12, 14, or 17? What was the first number? Nine. 12. Wait, that's a lot. It was 14. You guys are okay, Andrea. I'll give it to you though. Okay, this is the fun part. We're going to do rapid fire. So we have a set of questions, four questions for Luke and then four questions for Isha. And as soon as I say the question, you need to answer like immediately no thinking. Just immediately like what comes to your mind, you would need to say it. First celebrity crush. Addison Rae. Weirdest quirk. My motivation, like my come on on court. Vocalism. Biggest pet peeve. Cheaters, calling anything within the six inches of the line out. One item you can't live without. Water. Item.

Um, Justin Bieber intentions. That was good. That was good. All right. What do you... I love Hot Cheetos too. Yes, they might be my guilty pleasure as well. Flaming Hot Cheetos bang. But what are straight pants? Yeah. They play the straight pants. The straight-legged pants? Like, you know, like mom jeans? No, no, no. I love mom jeans. Like, I'm talking like, not boot cut. Like, they literally, like, it looks like you're wearing... I don't even know. They just wrap something around your leg and it's just going straight down. Skinny jeans. Are they close to your legs or are they... No, no. They're like far apart. Doggers. Is that what you're talking about? No, like, um, what's the material? What's the material? Jeans. Jeans. What should I type into Google? Straight-leg jeans? Straight-leg. Yeah. Jeans. Wait, am I the only one who knows about this? I thought I knew what you were talking about. You're not talking about, like, mom jeans, are you? No, I like mom jeans. Straight. I know. I was going to be highly ascended. Are you talking about the circus, like, yoga pants? I feel like I saw, um, like, I think I know what you're talking about. I saw a pair at Target the other day. I don't know. Are they called, uh, boot cut? Oh. Are those in style again? Yeah, I don't know. Wait, wait, did you mean, like, in style now? Like, these. Like those. Oh, so we're talking, like, menswear. For those, I guess I'm out of styles. Dang, I'm sorry. That was a picture again. Show me that picture again. Okay, that same picture or a different picture? That's for mens. That's the style you're talking about. Oh, the cuffed up jeans. Cuff? Yeah, I don't know. This is the fashion trend, you don't understand, on men. Not on women. Yeah. Okay. Oh, well, then I need to go tell my dad about all of this jean. No. Oh, she's going to be like, why are you doing this? Yeah, some girl, she told me that they're not in style anymore. So you got to get rid of them. All right, you guys got to tell us your favorite Coach Evan story. Okay. Can it be like any coach or does it have to be Coach Clifton? Any coach. Any coach? Okay. So this fall, I know Isha's heard this story. So this past fall at our Mac individual tournament, I was unseated. I was playing a number four seed in the quarter finals to go play like the best player in the draw in the semifinals. And I won the first set 6-1 and like I was, I was being pretty like quiet. So like Coach AJ, he's now coaching in Pennsylvania. He just left us. He comes to my bench and he's just like, all right, it's a tough set, man. Like you got to get it together. You got to just like stay in it, like get pumped up. I'm just like, I dropped four points to the whole set. Like I'm playing fine. Did he thought you were down 6-1? Yeah, he thought I just got smoked. Because So mine's not like on court. It's when we were going to a game. Like we were driving up to Pennsylvania and like coach was driving. We had like a senior sitting in front. I always sit in the middle or I'll sit in the front seat. And these two girls, two of our players in the back, Rebecca, she was like, she was there my freshman year. And Nina, they were throwing little balls like paper balls at coach. And coach was getting so angry. She was like, you guys do it one more time. I'm stopping this band in the middle of the road. They didn't throw the ball. Someone from the back row. I forgot who it was through the ball at coach. So coach literally is in the most leftist lane. Scourge to the right lane takes the exit some random exit, pulls up in the first parking lot he sees and they had to do suicides. And I literally was like, I was laughing. Coach was like, if you laugh one more time, you're doing it too. I was like, I'm not laughing no more. And then I record. I have like, I have the recording on my Google like drives. Yeah. That'll teach them a lesson. So it was like really quiet on the way back, like on the way, the rest of the way to the game. Oh, yeah. I was on the way to the game. Yeah. That really changes the morale. Well, how's the how the match up? Um, I was like three years ago. I think we won though. We might have won. Wrap up, tell people where or give any shout out. She want to give shout out to or tell me what to follow. And follow you on Instagram. TikTok. TikTok. The whole anything. Tell people what you want to tell them or a motivational quote. Yeah. Yeah. I got to find a quote. And you want to go first? All right. Um, I would like to give a shout out to everybody. You know, everybody out there watching the audience. Um, definitely coach. He made me the player who I am today. My parents for believing my academics. And, um, the team, the team always motivating me always. Um, yeah. I would like to give a shout out to, uh, the coach Clifton. I'm at a school I'm happy at. Academics and athletics, great coaching, great teammates. I would also like to give a shout out to my late coach. Coach Alex Barnes, um, who we missed. And, um, yeah, hopefully I can keep winning for you. The quote of the day is today is your opportunity to build the tomorrow you want. Woo. Yeah.
