0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:55.040
<v Speaker 5>I've seen the fake ones that are like official Brook.

0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:59.680

0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:02.720
<v Speaker 1>That's a confusing Yeah, that is a little confusing.

0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:08.119
<v Speaker 3>Yes, we are artificial Yahbrook and Jeffrey with the check mark,

0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:09.400

<v Speaker 1>this going.

0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:22.480
<v Speaker 4>You can never underestimate the importance of being polite to

0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:26.720
<v Speaker 4>people in your life. Yeah, and it's not always easy,

0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:31.080
<v Speaker 4>but it shows that you're a good person who cares

0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:34.880
<v Speaker 4>are Politeness always helps. So how do you politely stab

0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:38.840
<v Speaker 4>your friend in the back and take what's theirs? You can't.

0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:41.920
<v Speaker 4>Can't do that and care Jeffrey, you can't do that.

0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:44.200
<v Speaker 4>I think that you can because that's what one of

0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:47.040
<v Speaker 4>our listeners needs help doing today, and she has a

0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:50.160
<v Speaker 4>good reason for doing it. I just know there has

0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:52.160
<v Speaker 4>to be a polite way to go about it.

0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Back staffers always think they got a good reason.

0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:57.960
<v Speaker 4>You're gonna hear what she wants to take away politely

0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:01.360
<v Speaker 4>from her friend. Oh my god, your brand new awkward

0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:06.280
<v Speaker 4>Tuesday phone call. Next, it's awkward.

0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:07.640
<v Speaker 1>It's Tuesday.

0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:10.239
<v Speaker 5>It's awkward Tuesday phone call.

0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:14.480
<v Speaker 4>You know the story of the unlikely hero, right Brook,

0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:19.600
<v Speaker 4>which one? I mean, that's just a general, but you

0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:19.960
<v Speaker 4>said the.

0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:21.880
<v Speaker 5>Specific.

0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:26.680
<v Speaker 4>Let's take this show for example. It was rudderless, flailing,

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:31.360
<v Speaker 4>no direction, sinking down into the mud when a young

0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:36.079
<v Speaker 4>Jewish boy genius who was as charming as he was handsome,

0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:41.880
<v Speaker 4>hung too, was thrown into the first mike position and

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:44.559
<v Speaker 4>the rest is radio history.

0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 3>We're wildly successful, and then we're like a little bit

0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:53.080
<v Speaker 3>less successful now, but things are still afloat.

0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:56.680
<v Speaker 4>We all have stories of unlikely heroes. Thankfully all of

0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 4>you and studio are able to benefit from it.

0:02:59.240 --> 0:02:59.880
<v Speaker 5>So grateful.

0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:02.800
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I just think it's your humility that sets

0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:03.320
<v Speaker 3>you apart.

0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:07.880
<v Speaker 4>Well, it's not me. I'm not talking about myself. Where

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.799
<v Speaker 4>it takes my place after me? Okay, that's going to

0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:12.800
<v Speaker 4>be the real star. They have to be Jewish and

0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:16.920
<v Speaker 4>they need to Apparently a similar situation happened to one

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:20.320
<v Speaker 4>of our listeners and they need our help today desperately.

0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:22.640
<v Speaker 4>So please welcome to the show. Lexi.

0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:30.040
<v Speaker 6>Hey guys, oh god, sorry Lexi is his ex's name?

0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:34.080
<v Speaker 1>Isah? Are you the unsung hero? My friend?

0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:38.040
<v Speaker 7>I don't think I'm a hero, but I do have

0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:39.200
<v Speaker 7>a problem.

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:43.800
<v Speaker 4>Okay, Okay, okay is very vague. Maybe you have to

0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:46.880
<v Speaker 4>explain this for us from one hung person to another.

0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:48.320
<v Speaker 4>Tell us what you're dealing.

0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:51.080
<v Speaker 1>With in your life means he wants to know.

0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:53.400
<v Speaker 4>Tell us what's going on? Why did you email the show?

0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:56.440
<v Speaker 7>So the other week, a friend of mine, a good

0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:59.960
<v Speaker 7>friend of mine, texted me for a last minute favor. Okay,

0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:01.760
<v Speaker 7>and his name's Michael.

0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:02.680
<v Speaker 4>Not Brooks.

0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:06.240
<v Speaker 3>Michael, though we don't have to associate everyone with a name.

0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 4>We're just making sure it's not Brook's husband, right, No,

0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:17.640
<v Speaker 4>it is not. So your friend Michael wanted a last

0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:18.320
<v Speaker 4>second favor.

0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:19.440
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:23.039
<v Speaker 7>So he's got this recreational kickball team. You know, it's

0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:25.880
<v Speaker 7>like one of those like fun leagues. Yeah, exactly, so.

0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:27.080
<v Speaker 1>You need like a fill in.

0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 3>It's always hard to get people to show up literally exactly.

0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:33.080
<v Speaker 7>So he's going out of town for a week, and

0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:35.320
<v Speaker 7>he didn't want to let the team down. And apparently,

0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:37.280
<v Speaker 7>like if you don't have the players or something, they

0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:40.479
<v Speaker 7>have to forfeit or like, you know, so's the whole thing.

0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:44.080
<v Speaker 7>And he asked me if I could step in for him.

0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:46.839
<v Speaker 3>That's nice, all right, It's awesome that he found his

0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:47.560
<v Speaker 3>own substitute.

0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:49.640
<v Speaker 1>It's usually like whoever put the team together?

0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:54.719
<v Speaker 5>I got into one of those because.

0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:57.080
<v Speaker 4>They just dragged her off the sidewalks a lot of

0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:59.560
<v Speaker 4>free times. What did you say, did you do it?

0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:02.960
<v Speaker 7>Yeah? I mean I didn't. I don't know anything about this, right, Like,

0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:05.640
<v Speaker 7>so I was like okay, sure, and I was you know,

0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:06.680
<v Speaker 7>maybe it'll be fun.

0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:09.960
<v Speaker 1>Okay, how could this possibly cause a issue?

0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:16.080
<v Speaker 7>Well, okay, so I go yeah, and it turns out

0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:18.839
<v Speaker 7>I might be like a kickball prodigy.

0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh you can kick that red rubber ball.

0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:26.600
<v Speaker 4>She's got a golden toe.

0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:29.120
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I guess I remembered from like third grade.

0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:31.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, Like, it's not a huge I mean

0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:32.159
<v Speaker 1>it's a.

0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:37.160
<v Speaker 5>I think it's a very cool and hard skill.

0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:38.919
<v Speaker 4>This is your unlikely hero moment.

0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:42.719
<v Speaker 7>Well, right, so the game I played, we ended up winning, right,

0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:45.440
<v Speaker 7>so it's like a big deal because apparently this team

0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:52.080
<v Speaker 7>like just doesn't ever win. Yeah, so they really So

0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:54.240
<v Speaker 7>this is where they were like, oh my god, you're

0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:57.520
<v Speaker 7>so awesome, Like it was really fun, and they invited

0:05:57.560 --> 0:05:59.719
<v Speaker 7>me to go out to the bar afterwards to celebrate.

0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:05.960
<v Speaker 7>And that's why it got uncomfortable because they're like you,

0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:09.440
<v Speaker 7>we should keep you, and like Michael should not come

0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:12.040
<v Speaker 7>back like they were. They were saying, like I should.

0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:15.000
<v Speaker 4>Oh no, they want to kick Michael off the team

0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:15.440
<v Speaker 4>for you.

0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:17.040
<v Speaker 3>They're gonna meet him in like a week when they're

0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:20.560
<v Speaker 3>down players, both of you.

0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:22.719
<v Speaker 7>Listen. I thought they were joking, like again, I don't

0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:24.840
<v Speaker 7>know the holes, like how many people are on a team.

0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:27.120
<v Speaker 7>But then the team captain he like pulled me aside

0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:29.440
<v Speaker 7>and he was dead serious. He's like, oh, we we

0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:30.760
<v Speaker 7>really like to replace Michael.

0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:32.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, Oh did.

0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:34.560
<v Speaker 3>I was on a kickball team and one of the

0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.200
<v Speaker 3>guys on our team was just like what your captain says,

0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:39.640
<v Speaker 3>like where he wanted to hold practice and take it

0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:40.760
<v Speaker 3>like really seriously.

0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:42.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, yo, man, that's not.

0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:44.320
<v Speaker 5>What we're doing for the cocktails.

0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:47.480
<v Speaker 4>I mean, you can't do that. You can't replace your

0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:49.200
<v Speaker 4>friend on his own team.

0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:49.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:52.920
<v Speaker 7>The problem is because, like I said, I have a

0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:54.960
<v Speaker 7>little time and I've sort of been looking for a

0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:58.320
<v Speaker 7>new hobby myself, and everybody was so nice and it

0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:00.400
<v Speaker 7>was just like such a good feeling and like I

0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:02.839
<v Speaker 7>don't want to like take his spot, but I kind

0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:03.440
<v Speaker 7>of want to.

0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:05.400
<v Speaker 5>It kind of it kind of fits.

0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:08.680
<v Speaker 4>It's one of those things that's like wait a second,

0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:13.720
<v Speaker 4>did you say yes, I will replace him.

0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.320
<v Speaker 3>Please don't tell me we're calling Michael to tell him

0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:21.080
<v Speaker 3>he's kicked off the kickball team.

0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:21.680
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:24.120
<v Speaker 7>So he was like he's back in a day or two.

0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:26.559
<v Speaker 7>And I don't want him to hear it from anybody else.

0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:27.720
<v Speaker 7>I want to be the one to tell him. I

0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:29.440
<v Speaker 7>want to talk to him first, because like that would

0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:30.119
<v Speaker 7>be even worse.

0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:34.080
<v Speaker 4>I have a question, how how serious is this kickball

0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:34.960
<v Speaker 4>team for Michael.

0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:38.240
<v Speaker 7>Honestly, he's played for a long time, so I guess

0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:40.320
<v Speaker 7>he's pretty serious.

0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:43.320
<v Speaker 3>It's like being kicked out of your friend group. It's

0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:47.400
<v Speaker 3>not necessarily about the kickball team. It's like being disinvited

0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:49.320
<v Speaker 3>to happy hours, got kicked.

0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:51.200
<v Speaker 5>Out because she wasn't reading the books.

0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:57.480
<v Speaker 4>Ever, this is the time when having a young Jewish boy,

0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:00.680
<v Speaker 4>charming genius on the show would really be useful.

0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, man, where are we going to hire him?

0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:06.200
<v Speaker 4>Since we don't have that, We're just gonna have Brooke

0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:08.560
<v Speaker 4>and jose give you some advice when we come.

0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:09.760
<v Speaker 5>Back on Catholic.

0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:13.160
<v Speaker 4>Oh no, you're really in trouble when we do your

0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:17.320
<v Speaker 4>awkward Tuesday phone call next, it's awkward.

0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:18.720
<v Speaker 1>It's Tuesday.

0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:20.080
<v Speaker 5>It's awkward.

0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:27.440
<v Speaker 4>Tuesday phone call. The Majestic Sports of Kickball goes all

0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:29.680
<v Speaker 4>the way back to nineteen ninety two.

0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:33.360
<v Speaker 1>I think it's probably older than that.

0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:37.520
<v Speaker 4>Nineteen ninety one day. Okay, you'd think people wouldn't take

0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:40.320
<v Speaker 4>it as seriously as they do, because it's really just

0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:43.200
<v Speaker 4>a bunch of buzzed adults drinking beers and kicking a

0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:45.280
<v Speaker 4>red ball around on a playground.

0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:49.439
<v Speaker 3>But may gets serious if you've played on an adultly.

0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:51.959
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it is a big deal for people, especially

0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:53.880
<v Speaker 4>the ones who've let the rest of their dreams and

0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:58.199
<v Speaker 4>life dial the problem. And this is why this awkward

0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:01.400
<v Speaker 4>Tuesday is going to be a specially awkward because Lexi,

0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:03.600
<v Speaker 4>one of our listeners, ended up filling in for her

0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:06.120
<v Speaker 4>good friend while he was away on vacation and ended

0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:08.960
<v Speaker 4>up doing so well the team has asked her to

0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:13.360
<v Speaker 4>replace him permanently, and after a few beers at the bar,

0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:16.959
<v Speaker 4>Lexi was like, heck, yeah, screw Michael, I'll do it.

0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:20.960
<v Speaker 4>And Michael's coming back from vacation tomorrow, so she needs

0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:23.720
<v Speaker 4>to break the news to him first before he hears

0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:28.599
<v Speaker 4>it from someone else. What advice do you have to

0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:29.120
<v Speaker 4>give for that?

0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:31.800
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it's just hard man Lexi, I think that

0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:35.400
<v Speaker 3>the thing you do to preserve your friendship is you

0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:38.320
<v Speaker 3>let him know, which is true, that it was their decision.

0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:39.720
<v Speaker 3>You had nothing to do with.

0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:42.120
<v Speaker 1>It, right, yeah, like it was their choice.

0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:46.319
<v Speaker 2>And on the good side, like first time you get

0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:51.520
<v Speaker 2>a little sick, you know he's your backup, right right, Yeah,

0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:52.920
<v Speaker 2>so you know.

0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:56.920
<v Speaker 1>He has something, yeah, to look forward to, possibly.

0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:03.360
<v Speaker 4>View from the bleacher. Jose, what do you.

0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:06.680
<v Speaker 5>Think you need to tell his friends to take him

0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:08.920
<v Speaker 5>off of the email list and then just tell him

0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:09.920
<v Speaker 5>the season's canceled?

0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:14.640
<v Speaker 1>What she hasn't be like secretive about it.

0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:16.920
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, but at least he'll never know his feelings won't

0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:17.559
<v Speaker 5>be hurt at all.

0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:19.520
<v Speaker 4>That's a lot of avoid Does that sound Lexi?

0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:24.280
<v Speaker 7>No, I don't think. Yeah, reasonable.

0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:26.040
<v Speaker 5>I usually give such sound advice.

0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:28.960
<v Speaker 4>I don't know what's going on. And here's something that

0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.199
<v Speaker 4>we didn't talk about in the first part. I was

0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:33.880
<v Speaker 4>going back over your email and we talked about you

0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:36.720
<v Speaker 4>filling in for him for kickball. But it also says

0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:38.720
<v Speaker 4>you guys work together and while he was gone, you

0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:40.920
<v Speaker 4>had to do some of his job too. What you

0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:42.400
<v Speaker 4>didn't take his job away? Did you?

0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:42.560
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:45.680
<v Speaker 6>My gosh, no, no, no, oh, my god, No, you're.

0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:47.000
<v Speaker 5>Not going to take his wife and family.

0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:51.160
<v Speaker 1>She's actually wearing his clothes.

0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:53.120
<v Speaker 5>Noaling his identity.

0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:56.560
<v Speaker 7>I mean our supervisor did say I was more productive,

0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:59.040
<v Speaker 7>but like I don't want to.

0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:01.920
<v Speaker 5>Oh that hurts. That's like when they give Alexis my

0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:03.760
<v Speaker 5>task at work and she does it ten times faster.

0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:07.960
<v Speaker 4>I mean it could be anybody we give your job to.

0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:10.559
<v Speaker 5>That is true.

0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:14.560
<v Speaker 7>Maybe he shouldn't have got on vacation. I don't.

0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:16.200
<v Speaker 3>Like that.

0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:21.360
<v Speaker 4>Accusatory attitude into this phone call. I'm diving his number

0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:21.840
<v Speaker 4>right now.

0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:33.400
<v Speaker 6>Good luck, okay, Hello, Hey Michael Flexi.

0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:38.000
<v Speaker 8>Oh hey, how you doing? That was a weird number.

<v Speaker 7>kickball team. It was like, it was so fun. I

0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:05.720

<v Speaker 8>you got to do it. I'm glad you enjoyed it,

0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:13.200
<v Speaker 8>because I gotta tell you, sometimes they get like really

0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:15.760
<v Speaker 8>crazy and some of the girls don't like other girls,

0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:16.520
<v Speaker 8>you know how it gets.

0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:19.640

0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:27.600
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, Like, do you really like playing on the team,

0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:29.440
<v Speaker 7>like real to still talk?

0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:33.800
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, it's the greatest. It's like my favorite. I'm so

0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:34.800
<v Speaker 8>glad I met those people.

0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:34.960
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:37.080
<v Speaker 8>It was like really you know, kind of like going

0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:38.760
<v Speaker 8>through something in life that I met. Like, it's like

0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:40.079
<v Speaker 8>just a great group of friends.

0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:42.319
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:44.400
<v Speaker 7>I will say I was a tiny bit hesitant when

0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:46.960
<v Speaker 7>I went because you talk about like sort of how

0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:50.000
<v Speaker 7>frustrated you get sometimes with the kickball team.

0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:52.800
<v Speaker 8>And I was like, oh, you know, I didn't know. Well,

0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:55.520
<v Speaker 8>we we do. Yeah, we lose every time, but it's

0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:57.160
<v Speaker 8>not really what it's about. I don't think. I think

0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:59.760
<v Speaker 8>it's just you know, the camaraderie and having a good

0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:01.000
<v Speaker 8>time together and everything.

0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:04.480
<v Speaker 7>Yeah. Well you know what's cool is we did win.

0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:06.480
<v Speaker 7>We won, but like.

0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:08.720

<v Speaker 8>off the team.

0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:53.040

0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Is there maybe a team manager?

0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:07.400

<v Speaker 5>Nobody like that. In charge of the ball.

0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:22.920

0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:37.920
<v Speaker 3>will pick you up.

0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:42.800
<v Speaker 4>Everybody likes that revenge story. Yeah, of coming back and

0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:44.920
<v Speaker 4>playing your old team and taking them down.

0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:46.560
<v Speaker 1>Especially if your sister's on the team.

0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:48.760
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, that's actually not a bad idea.

0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:49.160
<v Speaker 4>I know.

0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:52.360
<v Speaker 8>I could probably kick forth for them in their backup

0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:56.320
<v Speaker 8>st Oh wow, yeah.

0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:58.520
<v Speaker 4>There you go, Lexi. It sounds like you have a

0:16:58.560 --> 0:16:59.560
<v Speaker 4>new league rival.

0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:03.480
<v Speaker 7>I didn't mean to create my worst enemy.

0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:07.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, I want to tell him about the job thing.

0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:12.440
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, job, what about what about my job?

0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:12.960
<v Speaker 5>You're fired?

0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:13.280
<v Speaker 4>All right?

0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:15.480
<v Speaker 7>That was a job.

0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:20.639
<v Speaker 1>Freaking Jeffrey in the morning. I think being replaced is

0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:22.120
<v Speaker 1>worse than even being the last kid.

0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:28.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah on the gym, dude, they tried you, and yeah,

0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:31.600
<v Speaker 3>I hope the competition actually takes him.

0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:35.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, gosh, like he actually makes it on another day.

0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:39.399
<v Speaker 3>But honestly, is anyone surprised that their sibling would vote

0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:39.800
<v Speaker 3>them out?

0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:42.240
<v Speaker 5>No? I mean yeah competitive?

0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:45.600
<v Speaker 1>No, yeah, the sisters he annoys me, get them off. Yeah, yeah,

0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:47.640
<v Speaker 1>I made Alexis. You'd be the first one to kick

0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:48.720
<v Speaker 1>your brothers off any team.

0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:49.720
