Speaker 1: we sit down with the future stars of tomorrow. Today's
Speaker 1: guest is Jersey Robinson, the number one ranked player in
Speaker 1: the class of twenty twenty six. Her journey of moving
Speaker 1: from Arizona to California to play basketball, to winning a
Speaker 1: gold medal with Team USA and signing with Clutch and
Speaker 1: Nike is a story you won't want to miss. All right, Jersey,
Speaker 1: thank you so much for coming on. Sloane nos Next.
Speaker 1: I'm so excited for you to be here. For those
Speaker 1: who haven't had the pleasure to watch your game or
Speaker 1: learn a little bit about you, can you just tell
Speaker 1: us your name, your age, and your position where you
Speaker 1: go to high school.
Speaker 2: I'm Jersey Robinson.
Speaker 3: I'm a convo guard, so one or two people you
Speaker 3: could say and might go to see your kin high school.
Speaker 3: I like to do pretty much everything one through five,
Speaker 3: so you know, three level scoring and things like that,
Speaker 3: like to mix it up, you know, mode of my game.
Speaker 3: After Star I was like Michael Jordan, Lebron and Kobe
Speaker 3: and all of them.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's big. Shoot the film, Okay, I like it.
Speaker 1: How old were you when you started to play basketball.
Speaker 2: I would say about seven or eight.
Speaker 3: I played a lot of sports growing up, and like track,
Speaker 3: I did track for eight years, soccer, tried it all, flag.
Speaker 2: Football, and then I picked up a basketball.
Speaker 3: I had twenty of my first game as my Okay,
Speaker 3: parents can attest to and then they're like, yeah, that
Speaker 3: was your.
Speaker 1: Shit for you. Is your family a basketball family or not? No?
Speaker 3: Actually, so my family is a football family. My mom
Speaker 3: my mom's family comes from a big football NFL family,
Speaker 3: and my dad play football Oregon State and touch the
Speaker 3: league for a little bit. So I'm definitely a big
Speaker 3: football family.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I like that you said you play girls like
Speaker 1: football because I do too, and I feel like that's
Speaker 1: like an underrated thing. But it's really fun with position
Speaker 1: to deeplay quarterback. Okay, I actually play with the boys though.
Speaker 1: Oh that's big time. Okay, I did that too in
Speaker 1: like fourth grade. It's definitely fun for sure. How do
Speaker 1: you think playing sports like track, soccer, football helped shape
Speaker 1: you into the basketball player you are now.
Speaker 3: I think it opens you up to a lot of
Speaker 3: different aspects of life, whether that's you know, team sports,
Speaker 3: a lot of team sports. Yeah, it grows you in anywhere,
Speaker 3: whether it's you're togetherness, your sacrifice and things like that,
Speaker 3: and then you play individual sports which really build you
Speaker 3: as a person, your persavance, your resilience and things like that.
Speaker 3: So I think it's pretty much just rounded me to
Speaker 3: the person I am in all different areas and aspects.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you're sixteen years old. Who was the first
Speaker 1: NBA or WNBA player that you ever met? And do
Speaker 1: you have any stories with that?
Speaker 3: Oh, the first NBA player I met was Tyson Chandler.
Speaker 3: That's a little throwback, but I played a game at
Speaker 3: the Croc Center in Arizona, which is a big like
Speaker 3: basketball gym, and he was there and I met him.
Speaker 3: At first, I didn't know who it was. And then
Speaker 3: at the end people were like, Jersey, do you know
Speaker 3: who that is? And I like Tyson Chandler. I did
Speaker 3: some research and so I found that it was Tyson Chandler.
Speaker 3: So that was my That was my first NBA.
Speaker 1: So you weren't even starstruck or anything like that.
Speaker 2: I didn't know him.
Speaker 3: It wasn't like, well, obviously it was probably like seven one.
Speaker 2: Okay, so tell that what you can tell. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I didn't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've heard that you're a big lebron girl. Have
Speaker 1: you had you gotten to meet him Idle at Chosen
Speaker 1: Ones last year? Okay, so that was a crazy moment.
Speaker 1: I met him through Clutch and you know, you signed
Speaker 1: with Clutch and things like that. So when I met him,
Speaker 1: it was crazy. It was like a crazy mom No
Speaker 1: I could to keep a player from it, but it was.
Speaker 1: It was an amazing moment. Definitely a full Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: sure I fingers crossed that moment comes from me. I
Speaker 1: probably will freak out that I may like scream or
Speaker 1: something like that. Who knows who has been an idol
Speaker 1: for you that you think has sort of helped you
Speaker 1: through this process.
Speaker 2: A lot of people, I mean yeah, personally like my parents.
Speaker 3: Really, I think they keep me grounded and who I am,
Speaker 3: and they keep me on the right track, keep me
Speaker 3: grounded with the men above, and that really keeps me
Speaker 3: on the right track for me.
Speaker 2: So I would say my parents, Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 1: It's so important to have a big support system. I
Speaker 1: think that that's the best way to be successful. What
Speaker 1: is your favorite NBA or w NBA team?
Speaker 3: W NBA team is the Aces, I'm walking with the
Speaker 3: Aces forever or like like even this year I'm still
Speaker 3: this year.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but and then Lakers. I go Lake Show because
Speaker 2: I Lebron. Really I'm a Warriors fan, so you know,
Speaker 2: but they're looking a little rough this year.
Speaker 1: No good start to the season. I mean we're seven
Speaker 1: and two, but we got smacked by the Calves last night.
Speaker 1: That was bad for It's okay, we'll we'll get there.
Speaker 1: I think with Buddy Healed Kyle Anderson.
Speaker 2: But Heald is playing great ballard he I mean he.
Speaker 1: Basically filled clay shoes, which I thought was gonna be
Speaker 1: hard to do. And then look at that. I'm really happy.
Speaker 2: I mean zero points. That's not really that, that's true.
Speaker 2: That's true.
Speaker 1: Yeah, over ten an elimination game. It's like I feel
Speaker 1: like I could, I could probably make at least one
Speaker 1: shot in the game. Exactly. Is there someone specific in
Speaker 1: the NBA or the w that you model your game
Speaker 1: after you watch their film and you really want to
Speaker 1: be a player like them?
Speaker 3: Now as I grow well, early early on, I would
Speaker 3: say it was really a lot of Lebron. As I
Speaker 3: can older, and you kind of have to change your
Speaker 3: play style and adapt to like where you're going with this,
Speaker 3: she would say basketball, high school, basketball.
Speaker 2: Au watched a lot.
Speaker 3: Of Kobe Yeah, because he really has mastered He mastered
Speaker 3: the pull up game and the footwork and things like that.
Speaker 3: Then on the girl's side, I like Asia Wilson. She
Speaker 3: has a great face of game. She kind of learned
Speaker 3: how to extend pass the three point line out to
Speaker 3: the three point line. So I've been watching her a
Speaker 3: Rique love to watch her. She's great off the off
Speaker 3: the dribble. Ryan Howard does it also, Yeah, I like
Speaker 3: to mix it up, not just one, but I definitely
Speaker 3: like to.
Speaker 1: Modeling your game off the greatest. That's pretty cool, all right.
Speaker 1: So you're the number one ranked player in the class
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty six, which I'm sure feels a little
Speaker 1: stressful at times like that can be a lot of
Speaker 1: pressure on you. How do you stay humble? How do
Speaker 1: you stay grounded and just sort of keep up with
Speaker 1: this the fact that you really are the best, but
Speaker 1: knowing that there's like a lot in the future.
Speaker 3: It's for sure, my sports system, my family, my mom
Speaker 3: and dad, they keep me grounded. My mom keeps me
Speaker 3: humble at all times. Corey keeps me humbled at all times.
Speaker 3: But you know, my all of them combined they lift
Speaker 3: me up. Then make sure I stay in the live,
Speaker 3: keep working, make sure I know that you know this
Speaker 3: stuff like this podcast, things like that doesn't come out
Speaker 3: without without the work and without basketball.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just making sure that's the main thing.
Speaker 1: Does it keep you motivated to know that like everyone
Speaker 1: is chasing your spot?
Speaker 2: Absolutely? And I love that. I think that makes it fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure it's fun to know, like when you're
Speaker 1: at a game, like everyone is going after you and
Speaker 1: that's a cool feeling for sure. What has been your
Speaker 1: most memorable basketball moment so far?
Speaker 2: It was in the gold medal, my first gold medal.
Speaker 3: It was you don't really understand it until it happens,
Speaker 3: because when like the USA across your chest is like
Speaker 3: something surreal that you dream about when you're younger, and
Speaker 3: I dreamed about that. So bringing glory back to the
Speaker 3: to America like at such a young age was amazing
Speaker 3: for me for sure.
Speaker 1: So I want to talk a little bit about Sierra Canyon,
Speaker 1: which is where you go to high school. I know
Speaker 1: you transfer transferred from Desert Vista. Can you take us
Speaker 1: through that story of your transfer and what that was
Speaker 1: like for you?
Speaker 3: Absolutely? So I played my freshman year at Desert Vista
Speaker 3: High School in Arizona. It's an abutuki, like a little
Speaker 3: outside of the city where.
Speaker 2: I was born.
Speaker 3: Okay, want to stay championship that first year, and the
Speaker 3: opportunity Nio had like really boomed, and so the opportunities
Speaker 3: with Clutch and with Nike and Jordan presented themselves and
Speaker 3: so as a family and we had to sit down
Speaker 3: and really consider, like, Okay, we'll have these opportunities. But
Speaker 3: it was a legal in Arizona, which is really a
Speaker 3: highlight because California they had passed the law to where
Speaker 3: you can and make money off of your name, image
Speaker 3: and likeness, and so it was it was a jump
Speaker 3: and a leap of faith that we had to make.
Speaker 3: And so, you know, my parents and my brother sacrificed
Speaker 3: everything and we moved out here my sophomore year. I
Speaker 3: signed with Nike in January of that upcoming year and
Speaker 3: it was just my life has changed.
Speaker 1: Forever, amazing. What's your favorite part about living in La
Speaker 1: the Beach?
Speaker 2: For sure, I'm an ocean girl. I'm an island girl.
Speaker 3: My parents' family is from My mom's family is from Hawaii,
Speaker 3: so I grew up there pretty much every summer, and
Speaker 3: so I love the ocean.
Speaker 2: I can serve a little bit.
Speaker 3: I'm I'm I'd like to say I'm great, okay, but
Speaker 3: I haven't served in a little while, so I got
Speaker 3: to clean up of it.
Speaker 1: The water here, I know, it's freezing and like gray, Yeah,
Speaker 1: which is unfortunate.
Speaker 2: I wish it was very different from Yeah, that's a
Speaker 2: little different, but.
Speaker 1: It's still lucky that we have this. What's your favorite
Speaker 1: thing to do in LA other than the beach, Like
Speaker 1: you go out? Like what places do you like to
Speaker 1: go to my my.
Speaker 2: My weekdays are just school, score out.
Speaker 3: But I just like going to LA and just seeing
Speaker 3: there's so much that happens in LA with just driving
Speaker 3: down like Mailrose.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's so much.
Speaker 3: So I like the shop, but my parents and my
Speaker 3: parents like to stress find ways to not spend money exactly.
Speaker 1: Who was the first celebrity that you saw when you
Speaker 1: were living in La?
Speaker 2: Oh, first celebrity QR from Outer Banks.
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, I treaked out. I freaked out about that,
Speaker 1: just like you're just walking at the h that like
Speaker 1: Sparks game. Oh okay, and I freaked out. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: feel like that's the coolest thing at least for me
Speaker 1: about living in la Is. I love when I'm just
Speaker 1: like walking on the street like Starbucks and like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, Like I just watched you in the show
Speaker 1: last night. That's definitely my favorite par It's cool. So
Speaker 1: we talked a little bit about high school and I
Speaker 1: know you also play a What do you think is
Speaker 1: the biggest difference between AU ball and high school ball.
Speaker 3: High school's a lot more structure, you know, coaches like
Speaker 3: you have paid coaches that strictly do that job. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and so there's a lot more structure worth AU it's
Speaker 3: really about getting a scholarship and promoting yourself the best.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So it's I feel like it's.
Speaker 3: More like individual like ideals, really like how can you
Speaker 3: look the best for these coaches at the next level,
Speaker 3: rather than maybe necessarily like the team success overall.
Speaker 2: So I would say that's do.
Speaker 1: You prefer one over the other? No?
Speaker 2: I don't even Okay, I don't. I mean no, I don't.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say what is it like?
Speaker 1: I feel like I would freak out and be so scared.
Speaker 1: What is it like playing looking over at the sideline,
Speaker 1: seeing all these coaches, knowing that they're there for you?
Speaker 1: In an AAU setting.
Speaker 3: So the first time it happened to me, it was surreal.
Speaker 3: But I was like thirteen playing against seventeen year old,
Speaker 3: So it's like you don't have anything to lose, like
Speaker 3: go out there and play your best. And I think
Speaker 3: that's what you have the approach you have to take
Speaker 3: in life, like take the risk. Worse that happens is
Speaker 3: you fail, you get back up and you keep going.
Speaker 3: But most importantly is you just gotta be yourself. You
Speaker 3: gotta don't try to do too much, don't try to
Speaker 3: do too little, and just be yourself. And coaches appreciate that, yeah,
Speaker 3: for sure.
Speaker 1: So, like you said, you were playing against seventeen year
Speaker 1: old at thirteen, which is crazy. In your time playing
Speaker 1: AU basketball, who have been the top three players you
Speaker 1: either played against or played with?
Speaker 2: Mmmmm, this is a.
Speaker 3: Good question because the twenty four class now that they're
Speaker 3: in college now, like those are all my friends, all
Speaker 3: my dogs. So so played against I played against that
Speaker 3: first year kk Arnold who's at Ukon right now.
Speaker 2: We played against them.
Speaker 3: We beat them, actually not the I played with Miara though,
Speaker 3: Miora O'Neil, she's at Florida now.
Speaker 2: And then and what else did I play with?
Speaker 3: I played against Kennedy Smith who's at USC, so she's good.
Speaker 3: She's a great player. So I would say those are
Speaker 3: top three.
Speaker 1: Is there anyone that you've played with, either in AU
Speaker 1: or in high school that you think is really underrated,
Speaker 1: not getting a lot of love from coaches that you
Speaker 1: want to shout out?
Speaker 2: That's a loaded question me.
Speaker 1: I like to ask loaded questions.
Speaker 3: That's still in high school now, Yeah, I gotta go
Speaker 3: with my girls. That's year kennes So Leah Edwards.
Speaker 2: Shout out Leah. She's from Britain.
Speaker 3: Actually she played with a great international team, so shout
Speaker 3: out Ashley Read. She came from New York last year
Speaker 3: transporting with me, so shout out to them.
Speaker 1: You know, because there's so many transfers, how do you
Speaker 1: guys find that sense of community? Because I know that
Speaker 1: that's so vital to forming a good basketball team.
Speaker 3: So when me and Ashley came in, it was a
Speaker 3: little rocky. Yeah, I can't lie at for some little rocky,
Speaker 3: But that comes with just spending time. You've got to
Speaker 3: spend time, build connections really care about and then that
Speaker 3: that transfers onto the court.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So do you guys hang out a lot outside
Speaker 1: of basketball.
Speaker 2: Yes, for sure, that's where O chemistry totally.
Speaker 1: Has there been a specific game so far in your
Speaker 1: high score Au career that it stuck out to you?
Speaker 3: A specific game? Ontario Christian was a great game. That
Speaker 3: was a great game for us. We won, We ended
Speaker 3: up going to the Open Division championship.
Speaker 1: That was it was.
Speaker 3: It was a lot of people in there, gym was packed.
Speaker 3: Ediwanda is always great no matter the rivalry. Yes, that's
Speaker 3: our rivalry. So those are great games. And then that
Speaker 3: first year when I won my state championship in Arizona,
Speaker 3: that was an amazing.
Speaker 1: If there's a game this season that people listening to
Speaker 1: this I want to like, They're like, I want to
Speaker 1: see Jersey play. What was the game that you would
Speaker 1: suggest that they come out to.
Speaker 2: Watch this season, this upcoming season?
Speaker 1: And that's where I see. I see. Okay, what are
Speaker 1: your pre game Richu wald or do you have any
Speaker 1: superstitions before you play?
Speaker 2: I'm not superstitious. That's not me. I don't do the superstitions,
Speaker 2: but I do.
Speaker 3: I liked a bag of candy before the game, not
Speaker 3: the whole bag, but I'm a big candy girl.
Speaker 1: So like before this, before you came, I was there
Speaker 1: was bowls of candy upstairs. It's bad. I like a
Speaker 1: bad candy.
Speaker 2: So I started getting retainers to get my teeth right.
Speaker 1: You have them to and I never wear them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's kind of problematic to my candy addictionation.
Speaker 3: We take it out, but the candy like gets stuck
Speaker 3: in your teeth and so yeah, so that's a that's a.
Speaker 3: But I'm a I like sweethearts, like airheads, sorrowfuls. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I like skittle, sorry skittle, So I do it all
Speaker 3: sour always sorry though, for sure. So I got to
Speaker 3: eat some candy before the game. I gotta pray before
Speaker 3: the game, get right. And then listening to music.
Speaker 2: That's really what means?
Speaker 1: Do you like to listen before?
Speaker 3: So I'm straight turned up, So like I go drake
Speaker 3: a little baby, young boy. I'm trying to incorporate a
Speaker 3: little bit of gospel like before before I turn up,
Speaker 3: like ground yourself, yes, just to get get in the
Speaker 3: right headspace.
Speaker 2: But I'm turning up.
Speaker 1: You need to post like a pregame playlist, like people
Speaker 1: need to have a Jersey's pregame. I would listen, Okay,
Speaker 1: I would listen. I think people would, and I want
Speaker 1: to see I want to see like a full YouTube video.
Speaker 1: You need to start vlogging so we can see the
Speaker 1: candy all of that. I do.
Speaker 3: I would have interest in definitely doing YouTube, but I
Speaker 3: know this takes a lot and it's editing, and that's just.
Speaker 1: I can do it for you. I can be like, Okay, guys,
Speaker 1: come with me to Jerseys pre game.
Speaker 2: Okay, watch out for me.
Speaker 1: Exactly. So we talked about Lebron, We talked about you
Speaker 1: meeting Shock, Smader, Banks, actors, all that, But who is
Speaker 1: the coolest person that's ever come to watch one of
Speaker 1: your games?
Speaker 2: The coolest person to ever come watch of my games?
Speaker 2: I don't I'm early Lebron Okay, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Are you nervous? No?
Speaker 2: No, basketball is what I love.
Speaker 3: I've been doing it, so you're comfortable. Do I get
Speaker 3: nervous before games? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: Think it was already sitting there, I was, okay, so you.
Speaker 1: Weren't even paying attention. Yeah, I would just block it out.
Speaker 1: I feel like that's the best way to do it.
Speaker 1: Like we said earlier, you go to Sierra Canyon. It's
Speaker 1: obviously a prestigious school in both sports, and academics. How
Speaker 1: do you balance being both a student and an athlete.
Speaker 3: Balance for me is all about priorities. So student comes
Speaker 3: way before the athlete.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know that.
Speaker 3: Okay, if I get out of class and have a
Speaker 3: free period, I'm doing homework so I can maybe get
Speaker 3: on the video games later if I get my work done.
Speaker 3: So then we have practice after school every day. I'll
Speaker 3: stay probably about an hour after if the gym's open,
Speaker 3: get my work in, and then I'll just come home recovery.
Speaker 3: It's it's a lot of busy, it's a lot of sacrifice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's what comes with being.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're about than me. I've never used a free
Speaker 1: track to do homework literally ever, Like I always try.
Speaker 1: I open my computer, I'm like going to type, and
Speaker 1: then I don't know, I started watching TikTok and then
Speaker 1: I just get too deep into that that rabbit hole.
Speaker 1: So now I want to move on and talk about
Speaker 1: a little bit about the W. I mean, looks like
Speaker 1: you're gonna be there pretty soon, right, so it's a
Speaker 1: cool thing to talk about it and get to know
Speaker 1: that you're probably gonna be there. With the current state
Speaker 1: of the W in women's basketball in general. What are
Speaker 1: your feelings about that. I mean, we get to live
Speaker 1: in a time where Kaitlyn Clark, Page, Buker's Angel Reiths.
Speaker 1: We're seeing these women becomes one of the most famous
Speaker 1: athletes in the world. It's pretty cool to see.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 3: I think it's amazing because we've always had it. We're
Speaker 3: just kind of getting the notoriety and publicity that we've
Speaker 3: always deserved. Yeah, and especially being part of it playing
Speaker 3: high school basketball that leads into college and things like that.
Speaker 3: It's amazing to be a part of and it kind
Speaker 3: of inspires you to keep going and stay motivated and
Speaker 3: keep working so that you can be a part of
Speaker 3: it one day.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Are there any players either in the w or
Speaker 1: in college that have been sort of mentors to you
Speaker 1: and have helped you? I mean, not many people can
Speaker 1: say they're the number one basketball player in their class,
Speaker 1: so it must be nice to talk to people who've
Speaker 1: sort of had that happen to them as well.
Speaker 3: So I talked to Juju. She's definitely been in this position.
Speaker 3: She's been a great mentor Page and we have good conversations.
Speaker 3: Jania Barker, who's at u c l A she's local,
Speaker 3: so you know, when we get together, we have good talks,
Speaker 3: and so I think it's just amazing to be, you know,
Speaker 3: involved with the people who are doing what I'm trying
Speaker 3: to do at the next level.
Speaker 1: Yeah, in the next five years, who do you think
Speaker 1: is going to be the face.
Speaker 3: Of the W n b A and the face of
Speaker 3: the W It'll be Caitlin for sure, Angel will still
Speaker 3: be up there. Yeah, Juju page all of them who
Speaker 3: are about to who are about to leave flage.
Speaker 1: And then in the in the NBA, who do you
Speaker 1: think is going to be the face of the league?
Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards for of course.
Speaker 1: And who's your favorite NBA current NBA player that.
Speaker 2: Isn't Lebron Absolutely Okay, for sure.
Speaker 1: Same. I'm like an ankrel and a share girl, but
Speaker 1: then I'm also Warriors fan, so you know it's complicated.
Speaker 1: I go, I go back and forth to share like
Speaker 1: completely opposite players, but I like their vibes. Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: like not strictly talking about basketball here, They're both like
Speaker 1: those are my two dream guests. Like I need to
Speaker 1: talk to them because Aunt also loves Candy. You know,
Speaker 1: It's like we need to talk to him about all
Speaker 1: that his candy pregam Rigel. My dream is to do
Speaker 1: a candy tasting video with Anthony Edwards, like that would
Speaker 1: be so cool.
Speaker 2: You know, maybe if this happens to come across your feet.
Speaker 1: Exactly, come on the pod. We can try all the
Speaker 1: candy exactly. Okay, So now let's talk a little bit
Speaker 1: about your social media, which is obviously such a big part.
Speaker 1: You know, we're teenagers, teenage girls. That's such a big
Speaker 1: part of who we are, whether on the court, on podcasts.
Speaker 1: I think that that's so vital and it's really helpful because,
Speaker 1: you know, we look back at even when Lebron was
Speaker 1: in high school, people knew him because he was on
Speaker 1: the cover of a magazine. People didn't really know who
Speaker 1: he was as a person. But now coming up, people
Speaker 1: get to know really a lot about you. It seems
Speaker 1: from your social media that you have a really beautiful
Speaker 1: relationship with your little brother and you post a lot
Speaker 1: about that. What's that like? Why is that important to you? So?
Speaker 3: Yes, I love my little brother. He's sitting over there
Speaker 3: smiling a little bit. I think for me, family is
Speaker 3: such a big thing and to have, you know, I
Speaker 3: have one sibling, so he gets all my attention. He
Speaker 3: gets all the love, whether it's beating him up in
Speaker 3: the video games, yeah, or we.
Speaker 2: Be on a two K he can he will never
Speaker 2: beat me a two K. He has never beat me
Speaker 2: a two K.
Speaker 3: And Cuba he can get the work even though he
Speaker 3: played football. Dad can get the work in that too.
Speaker 3: And we play Fortnite, so we've been on the video games.
Speaker 1: Better at Fortnite me. Okay, yeah, this is giving me
Speaker 1: like because I have a little brother too, and we
Speaker 1: play all those same games. But it seems like you're
Speaker 1: better than your brother. I hate to admit that my
Speaker 1: brother is so much better than me in video games.
Speaker 1: I never beat him. I need to I need to
Speaker 1: work or not. You may need to teach me how
Speaker 1: to beat your brother. So I know he plays football, right,
Speaker 1: are you trying to get him into basketball.
Speaker 2: Or he does both.
Speaker 3: He's definitely more of a football player and I not
Speaker 3: play football. So I love that for them, their little relationship.
