Speaker 1: My Christmas. I went to California for a little bit
Speaker 1: to see my husband and then I went to tell
Speaker 1: your ride Colorado with my family and it was great.
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of snow right now, but it
Speaker 1: was a great time with the family.
Speaker 2: It wasn't too cold.
Speaker 1: It wasn't too cold. No, a lot of places didn't
Speaker 1: get a lot there. It's not cold enough for snow
Speaker 1: right now, so like the mountain actually wasn't like really
Speaker 1: that open anyway. And then New Year's we did with
Speaker 1: our team. We did a hibachi party at my house
Speaker 1: top top notch. It was so much fun to get
Speaker 1: highly recommend Oh it was. It was a hoot.
Speaker 2: So it wasn't as fun because I wasn't there. So
Speaker 2: next time next time, I'm glad live everyone y'all hear
Speaker 2: that team Houston. It wasn't as fun because I wasn't
Speaker 2: because I wasn't there. I wanted that to be out
Speaker 2: there like that.
Speaker 1: We still had a good time, all right. And then
Speaker 1: a week after that we started season.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's where we are. Now, how's that going?
Speaker 1: You know, We're off to a little shaky start, but
Speaker 1: you know, I think that we're on our way. We're
Speaker 1: on our way up. I mean our first match was
Speaker 1: a little dicey, and then our next one was better,
Speaker 1: and so I feel like we're trending in a positive direction.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I feel like the games are happening so fast,
Speaker 2: like everything almost seems like how to cover each other.
Speaker 2: I can't even remember. Okay, first game we aston, we
Speaker 2: played Omaha and I think we played Atlanta back to back,
Speaker 2: that kind of thing. But they kind of like, yeah,
Speaker 2: against each other. I came in like disassociaped many of them.
Speaker 1: Actually, no, it's been really quick, and the turnaround this
Speaker 1: year is quick, like we well, I get we just
Speaker 1: play you this weekend.
Speaker 2: I want to talk about that too, by the way, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll get there. But okay, so right now we
Speaker 1: have my team in last place. We won't talk about that.
Speaker 1: And then we have Madison sitting at the top right
Speaker 1: like they're kind of killing it.
Speaker 2: It seems like, no, they're good. They're playing really well
Speaker 2: early on. Obviously, like with this league, there's so much parody,
Speaker 2: like any team any giving night can like win. But
Speaker 2: Madison is showing some really strong you know, ah in
Speaker 2: the beginning.
Speaker 1: And also how many matches have gone to five already?
Speaker 1: I mean, I know from between our two teams, we've
Speaker 1: had three.
Speaker 2: Type breaks two far matches. Yeah, yeah, we played one.
Speaker 1: Like any night is anyone's game, so got to stay ready.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say that hasn't been any like three
Speaker 2: zero matches yet until.
Speaker 1: Last night when our first one was.
Speaker 2: Oh really, Oh I didn't even know that. Oops, sorry,
Speaker 2: thank you.
Speaker 1: So then yeah, you guys are two and one Nebraska.
Speaker 1: Nebraska's already played four matches. Yeah, played two, Okay, we've
Speaker 1: got time. Salt Lake is one in one. Atlanta's wanted to.
Speaker 1: Atlanta is good.
Speaker 2: I think they've always been good though. I think I
Speaker 2: think also just especially with them like losing Kelsey, I
Speaker 2: think our biggest thing we're thinking about as a team
Speaker 2: is that, like how their camaraderie would be without her.
Speaker 2: She was such a huge piece for them, and they've
Speaker 2: like developed that leadership amongst like a few players. Obviously
Speaker 2: Tessa Grebb, she's freaking killing ours is a.
Speaker 1: Monster test killing whatever you're eating. Keep doing that. Yeah, Pitch,
Speaker 1: it's crazy a lot. Maybe also you are going to
Speaker 1: pilate's a lot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm putting on I put the girlies on Solid Core.
Speaker 2: By the way, I put them.
Speaker 1: On that in the water all solid Court needs to
Speaker 1: sponsor you, I know, I can watch. Yeah, holy crap,
Speaker 1: how the classes have you done? Now? A thousand?
Speaker 2: They have like a they say when you're if you're
Speaker 2: like one hundred classes or fifty plus classes, blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: I'm definitely like fifty plus classes. I'm like maybe too.
Speaker 1: You're on the Black Springs. What are the spring the
Speaker 1: elite level?
Speaker 2: I'm on the MLK Springs.
Speaker 1: There's like the Gray Spring, the White Spring, the Black
Speaker 1: the cat Bell Spring.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're different resistance.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you have your own machine now, yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they like they make sure I know that I'm
Speaker 2: like another one that's like far away from everybody else
Speaker 2: actually because I have as you know, so totally totally.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what, you're just on your own missing in the
Speaker 1: parking lot.
Speaker 2: No. Actually, they think that I'm a pro coach, Like
Speaker 2: can I walk in the girl finished and my workouts
Speaker 2: are like are you a coach here? I'm like no,
Speaker 2: I just I'm gonna go to another location and with
Speaker 2: my schedule, I just came in there.

Speaker 1: make them sweat a little bit.
Speaker 2: Skipping pro Like this girl text messaging today and she
Speaker 2: was like, oh my god, I was in your class today.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say hi, but like you were killing it.
Speaker 2: I don't want to shrack you, and like, yeah, don't
Speaker 2: talk to me.
Speaker 1: It's not because you're because do you have fame for
Speaker 1: volleyball or because you're famous for being in that class.
Speaker 2: I think famous from being in the class, and then when.
Speaker 1: That's crazy, Oh definitely, I think from my fall volleyball,
Speaker 1: and then she sees me but yeah, okay, I don't know.
Speaker 2: But anyways, back we were saying, yeah, the really well,
Speaker 2: like I said, Tea is playing well for Atlanta, Love Austin.

Speaker 2: shout out you are about us.
Speaker 1: You guys are doing your thing.
Speaker 2: You know you're not last, We're not. We're I think

Speaker 2: I'm going to say that I'm going to stick with that.
Speaker 1: Back. Well, you guys are two and one right now.
Speaker 1: That record is pretty good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, my mental health is good. I'm doing
Speaker 2: giant had January right now. So I'm a little bit

Speaker 1: Where do you go to? Madison?
Speaker 2: So coming up, we have Madison coming up. We travel
Speaker 2: tomorrow our mattress on Wednesday. And the first thing I
Speaker 2: did this morning I woke up is I looked up
Speaker 2: the weather in Madison right now like negative six absolutely
Speaker 2: not like that hurts me, just like thinking about it,
Speaker 2: you know. So I know I got to pack some
Speaker 2: stuff to keep me warm and keep my feet seas warm.

Speaker 2: if you don't know now, you know, Love Austin has
Speaker 2: ownership by the San Antonio Spurs, so they own us now,
Speaker 2: and they wanted to do a cool little like collaboration
Speaker 2: of us playing on the home floor of the Spurs
Speaker 2: and we're gonna play Love Houst. So it's almost like
Speaker 2: Battle of Texas, you know what I mean, like who's
Speaker 2: gonna keep the.
Speaker 1: Hat heated rivalry, but not like the show, just like
Speaker 1: in the state of Texas.
Speaker 2: Which is Yeah. So that's this weekend January twenty fourth,
Speaker 2: if anybody wants to lock in on that. But that's
Speaker 2: coming out really good.
Speaker 1: That's I'm actually really excited for that. You guys a
Speaker 1: cool ownership group. Our ownership group. We've been doing a
Speaker 1: lot of stuff with the Texans as well. They're very hospitable.
Speaker 2: Yeah, y'all's y'all have been doing a lot of good things.
Speaker 2: Like I saw you guys at the football game on
Speaker 2: the field, like we got some like love. They got
Speaker 2: us jerseys at the Spurs games, we got we sat
Speaker 2: next to the court. It wasn't called court side. Now
Speaker 2: I don't call the court side, but we sat next
Speaker 2: to the court.
Speaker 1: Maybe next time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, you know me, I'm gonna figure it
Speaker 2: out working. I know there's no such as close map.
Speaker 2: Don't get fed. That's hot, That's what I'm thinking. So
Speaker 2: i'd be like, excuse me, can we.
Speaker 1: Are it's open?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that one's open. All moved show Like my little
Speaker 2: fake credential. It just says love Austin and like who
Speaker 2: is that? It doesn't matter? Yeah, yeah, like white chicks.
Speaker 1: Move move exactly what I was going for. I didn't
Speaker 1: want to say the B word. I thought we can
Speaker 1: cuss on here, we can bleep that out. Thank you, yeah,
Speaker 1: pump for that.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: We So the poor Texans they lost yesterday. It was
Speaker 1: pretty bad, but they invited us to the field yesterday
Speaker 1: for a watch party and so we were there watching
Speaker 1: the game with like the whole stadium of people. So
Speaker 1: that's pretty cool. Terrible showing though by them, but we
Speaker 1: love them anyway. Yeah, they're really great.
Speaker 2: Ride or Dies this weekend. Have a game this week.
Speaker 1: We go to Salt Lake on Wednesday, we play Thursday,
Speaker 1: and then we fly to San Antonio Friday and then
Speaker 1: we play you guys Saturday.
Speaker 2: Oh so you're not going home at all? You're just no,
Speaker 2: we have to.
Speaker 1: We're on the road. We're on the road, baby.
Speaker 2: Well are you gonna pack a tonnel walk outfit? Because
Speaker 2: we're coming on and off the court? Best really dead?
Speaker 1: I borrow one?
Speaker 2: You're the enemy right now?
Speaker 1: Can I just borrow like one? Donele bit out with?
Speaker 2: Please? I guess I can build you up something. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so we're trying to do like that, like Texas country
Speaker 2: western kind of thing. You know.
Speaker 1: Ooh, you know what, maybe I could ship something today
Speaker 1: to your house.
Speaker 2: Cowboy boots if you want to wear them. They're kind
Speaker 2: of like light brown.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, because we need some picks. Yeah, well, okay,
Speaker 1: that's good.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get rich chic country luxury. That's what my
Speaker 2: theme is for all season long. I'm gonna give rich,
Speaker 2: give bridge.
Speaker 1: Okay, you're funding that or you already have that.
Speaker 2: What's what's the question about funding? What do you mean funding?
Speaker 1: Well, don't know, you're just giving rich, You're just general.
Speaker 2: I'm giving it. It's giving she is exactly who she
Speaker 2: thinks she is. That's what it's giving.
Speaker 1: Okay, there we go, manifest that energy. Let's go. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, what else do we have going on in
Speaker 1: the league now?
Speaker 2: I mean nothing much. We just got we had two
Speaker 2: days off. I know ya don't get that much time off.
Speaker 2: But Eric was generous and enough we love Eric to
Speaker 2: give us two days and like we practice really well today.
Speaker 2: So he's like he's okay with like doing get the
Speaker 2: time permits itself and it lines up. So I think
Speaker 2: one thing for sure is like you just can't come
Speaker 2: off of a break that's given to you as a
Speaker 2: gift and come in slow and sloppy. And it wasn't
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: The gym is very not intense. The gym is just
Speaker 2: very like high level, like every single day. I think
Speaker 2: it also helps of him being our coach. And this
Speaker 2: may be like a thing that like most of the
Speaker 2: teams don't like, you know, because he is a national
Speaker 2: team's coach and like I don't know, people thin we're
Speaker 2: getting a little bit better feedback with it, whatever it is.
Speaker 2: But I will say like him being with the that
Speaker 2: he's in and with the players on our team who
Speaker 2: want to be in the gym and be a part
Speaker 2: of like you know, he's like pick up the crop.
Speaker 2: They elevate themselves, they bring it every day, which has
Speaker 2: that kind of helped our team. Actually it's a blessing
Speaker 2: for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys have a really deep bench. Like I
Speaker 1: feel like on any given day if someone's shaky, that
Speaker 1: you guys have somebody that can go in.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 1: I mean I feel like that's all of the teams.
Speaker 1: So like that's why it's so difficult because, yeah, maybe
Speaker 1: we're serving somebody off the court, but the next person
Speaker 1: who comes in can like start nailing passes and the
Speaker 1: whole game changes. And I think that's why we've seen
Speaker 1: so many matches go long or go to five now,
Speaker 1: because the benches are so deep and we just have
Speaker 1: so much elite talent in this league.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean not to toot our own horn, but
Speaker 2: I will say our bench is probably the deepest. Our
Speaker 2: bench is pretty deep. I just.
Speaker 1: Get at it.
Speaker 2: I'm on it. That's hilarious.
Speaker 1: What else is going on outside of volleyball?
Speaker 2: That's the volleyball. I don't know. I've just been outside
Speaker 2: of volleyball. I've been really good about like keeping my
Speaker 2: personal life in volleyball kind of separate. Like I've been
Speaker 2: doing a lot of traveling stuff back and forth right now,
Speaker 2: which I've kind of had to slow down just because
Speaker 2: I felt like I was living in two different realities.
Speaker 2: Like there's like my reality of like eat, sleep, volleyball
Speaker 2: and training all kinds of stuff too, than my alternate
Speaker 2: not false alternate reality of like sun boating.
Speaker 1: No vacation, vacation, you know, having two days off.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm like I need to touch grass more often,
Speaker 2: so like I'm trying, you need.
Speaker 1: To touch a volleyball more well, that too, you know
Speaker 1: that too.
Speaker 2: I am, I am, I'm When I'm vacationing, I'm working
Speaker 2: out and training. Still. The fact that.
Speaker 1: You're vacationing during season is driving me crazy. I love you,
Speaker 1: but how do you Eric Stupp giving them these days off?
Speaker 2: We need to rest on top of like I knew
Speaker 2: extra you know, when we travel, I'm working. I'm getting
Speaker 2: up early in the morning and going to the gym
Speaker 2: at the hotel, working myself out. Like I go solid core.
Speaker 2: I got a solid core before before weightlifting, and I
Speaker 2: go to weights and I go to practice, you know,
Speaker 2: if I want to do a little extra after. So
Speaker 2: we're tired.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's I can't believe you have the ability
Speaker 1: to go to solid core before or after.
Speaker 2: You see this body, like, yeah, but I'm gonna need
Speaker 2: this body gonna be tea. I need that to be perfection,
Speaker 2: you know, volleyball or not. I need that to be
Speaker 2: I'm always said, she goes take care of your body
Speaker 2: so long and you have the choice too.
Speaker 1: So hey, preach Regina ill. I know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Maddie what about you? Are you? What are
Speaker 2: you doing? I'm taking care of yourself and that big
Speaker 2: ass head. You know what I did?
Speaker 1: I do a lot of you know. I love to
Speaker 1: craft and do anything and everything. So I got into
Speaker 1: baking sour dough. So I bake.
Speaker 2: And you're doing really well. I've seen some videos of
Speaker 2: other people's and I'm impressed by yours. I will say
Speaker 2: thank you.
Speaker 1: I do that, and I crochet. I I don't know,
Speaker 1: I just I'm always crafting something. I went to a
Speaker 1: pottery class the other day, like a wheel class. I
Speaker 1: really love that. So I keep myself busy. Not with
Speaker 1: extra workouts, because I don't think that I can handle that,
Speaker 1: but just with extra activity. No, and then maybe like
Speaker 1: a nice restaurant here or there, and like a director
Speaker 1: two here and there.
Speaker 2: That's my thing. I love.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm trying to. Twenty twenty six is the year
Speaker 1: of putting myself on a budget. Okay, yeah, because I've
Speaker 1: just been out and about too much. It's really easy
Speaker 1: when you have like all your friends here and you
Speaker 1: want to like go get food or go do something.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I have a hard time saying no. You know, I
Speaker 1: love to just do stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, same.
Speaker 1: It's someone it's almost like, hey, do you want to
Speaker 1: do this? I am the friend that says yes, immediately,
Speaker 1: let's go, let's go. I'm down.
Speaker 2: That's how we be in friends. So I totally understand that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, twenty twenty six budget and boundaries, I think saying
Speaker 1: no and saving. I'm just kidding. I probably won't. I
Speaker 1: do say that. I'll think about it, Okay, yeah should Yes.
Speaker 2: My twenty twenty six resolutionary thing is like the word
Speaker 2: I'm going for this year is intentional. So everything I'm
Speaker 2: doing is with an intent. So whether that's like you know,
Speaker 2: when I go out to the grocery store, I don't
Speaker 2: always look an athlete. I can like actually put real
Speaker 2: people's like civilian clothes on, and like.
Speaker 1: You can put on your walk in outfit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, not that upscale, but you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Like I can like put jeans on with a cute
Speaker 2: top and some sneaks or like a sandal and like
Speaker 2: go to a t be you know, my little AirPods
Speaker 2: in and then come back home. And I mean, I
Speaker 2: don't have to be wearing slides. It's my pants all
Speaker 2: the time. So if I'm working out and doing things
Speaker 2: I'm like really focused on like being in that like
Speaker 2: moment of whatever I'm doing and like getting the best
Speaker 2: like out of it.
Speaker 1: So that's a good word. Maybe I should change mine.
Speaker 1: I'm intentionally budgeting. Maybe I'm intentionally budgeting and setting back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go, there you go.
Speaker 1: Come on, all right, So we have us up this week.
Speaker 1: We need people to watch that. That's gonna be a
Speaker 1: big time or with the Spurs.
Speaker 2: Those are like our personal resolutions. Do you have? Does
Speaker 2: your team like have like a New Year's kind of
Speaker 2: like model they're doing this year.
Speaker 1: I don't think we have like a model. Well, I
Speaker 1: mean we have a team motto, but that's like private,
Speaker 1: so you can't know it, and I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, we have like some new talent this year.
Speaker 1: We have some younger girls on our team, and so
Speaker 1: I think like our vision is just kind of like
Speaker 1: progressed together as a team as the season goes along.
Speaker 1: I mean, we haven't had the best start, and I
Speaker 1: think that's pretty obvious, but.
Speaker 2: It's not. Hey, I think coming from our experience from
Speaker 2: last year, I now you start, how.
Speaker 1: You finished, how you finished, And I think that like
Speaker 1: we definitely have the capability to get hot when it matters.
Speaker 1: So I think that, you know, if we can just
Speaker 1: take lessons from our first two matches where we are
Speaker 1: trending in a positive direction, I would say, and just
Speaker 1: continue to build on what we have. I think it's
Speaker 1: gonna be really important for us, just because we're still
Speaker 1: like learning each other and we have some some newer girls,
Speaker 1: like learning the professional system in general. So yeah, we
Speaker 1: have some challenges, but I think that it is improving.
Speaker 1: So I'm excited to see where we finish.
Speaker 2: Yeah, in super early days, you know, like I said,
Speaker 2: it's only what's three coming up or something like that,
Speaker 2: So I would say, yeah, ours this season, I would say,
Speaker 2: our resolution, our new Year's thing, or like our war
Speaker 2: for our team would be trust. I think we're building
Speaker 2: a lot of that around the entire like including staff,
Speaker 2: included in ourselves, trusting ourselves, trusting our teammates, trusting staff,
Speaker 2: trusting what we know as a unit, and that's helped
Speaker 2: us I think a lot through we haven't had as
Speaker 2: much we've been hading an adversity I would say yet,
Speaker 2: but like you know, I just helped us kind of
Speaker 2: like go through whatever we're going through because obviously we
Speaker 2: lost in five the other night, which kind of sucks,
Speaker 2: or we lost.
Speaker 1: Some you lost in four, but five, no you want
Speaker 1: in five?
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have those our first loss, but yeah. No,
Speaker 2: it's easy to kind of like get in that mindset
Speaker 2: really quickly early on and like kind of like build down.
Speaker 2: But instead we kind of, you know, we're coming up
Speaker 2: and building up, and then we have a positive mindset
Speaker 2: off the loss. And it wasn't an ugly loss, but
Speaker 2: you know, learning things. So the team thing is chress.
Speaker 2: So I love that.
Speaker 1: All right. Well, this week also coming up, we have
Speaker 1: Madison at Salt Lake on the twenty fourth, and then
Speaker 1: we have Nebraska at Atlanta on the twenty fifth. What
Speaker 1: do you think is going to happen in those matches?
Speaker 2: Hey, Madison is playing really well, they're really now hopefully CARLINI, Yeah, girl,
Speaker 2: she's gonna bush the rock.
Speaker 1: You're something else.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And then they have the Chinese opposite, who's also amazing.
Speaker 2: You know, people don't really need to really know that
Speaker 2: much about it. That's the thing about It's like, you know,
Speaker 2: volleyball is just so small. I think, especially here in
Speaker 2: the States, people don't really know about like the players
Speaker 2: that are abroad, you know, and I'm like, I've heard
Speaker 2: things the Chinese opposite is like surprisingly good, and I'm
Speaker 2: like surprisingly, I'm.
Speaker 1: Like, surprising, girl, she's been for a long time.
Speaker 2: She's the starting opposite for the Chinese national team. What
Speaker 2: do you mean?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they're historically very good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and she passes. I played against her two years
Speaker 2: when I was in China and we played against them.
Speaker 2: We were able to take out like serve one of
Speaker 2: the outside she stepped back in plast dimes for them.
Speaker 2: So it's cool to see she's actually passing for love
Speaker 2: Madison on and off too, when Timmy is able to
Speaker 2: kind of hold her ground a little bit. But they're
Speaker 2: gonna be pretty good. I think they're a tough team
Speaker 2: to be Obviously, Salt Lake as well, you know, the
Speaker 2: Jordan Pults also a renowned phenomenal Olympics setter as well,
Speaker 2: Tory Dixon. You know, they're pretty big.
Speaker 1: Serena Serena gret also she destroyed us the first match.
Speaker 1: I think she had like nineteen points or something. Wild.
Speaker 2: I think we can get to see a lot of
Speaker 2: Serena last year, like we saw her, but like we
Speaker 2: didn't see like this Serena and of her. A lot
Speaker 2: of the other leagues were playing in this past fall,
Speaker 2: but she's brought that straight to the league. It's like, oh,
Speaker 2: I'm not surprised. That's what she does. That's what she does,
Speaker 2: and that's what we know now, you know.
Speaker 1: So I think she's really come into her own this year,
Speaker 1: like she Yeah, she's gonna be like really fun to watch,
Speaker 1: not fun to play against, but for sure big things
Speaker 1: for her. And then Nebraska Atlanta obviously, I think will

Speaker 1: ball control at Nebraska. Also Atlanta is like a pretty
Speaker 1: good ball control team as well. I think that'll be
Speaker 1: like a good battle just overall. I mean also stacked.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Atlanta is like a good, like learning team. I
Speaker 2: will say that you could tell they pick up a
Speaker 2: lot of things with our offense and defense going into
Speaker 2: that second match versus them at the home game this
Speaker 2: past week. So they're really good about like those back
Speaker 2: to backs. I think they like those, you know, they
Speaker 2: can get back to it and kind of work on
Speaker 2: with the gym any things they need to work on,
Speaker 2: and then they're able to fulfill that minute to the court,
Speaker 2: you know against the same team, So it's gonna be
