Enjoy! All right, welcome! I have head
coach
Jay Mason, senior Taylor Scott and junior
Sydney Williams
of the women's soccer team. Thanks for
being with me this morning.
First off, i want to uh
have you guys introduce yourselves
obviously i just said your names but
um jay if you want to uh
let us know uh how long you've been at
cal poly pomona
and uh maybe your hometown and what
uh uh what brought you to cal poly
pomona your your career path
uh yeah it's my well heading into my
fifth season
with uh with the broncos and i came uh
via austin texas which i spent a great
deal time there in texas
um you know my my path to pomona
it's funny i always give uh i won't say
the name
one of our athletic directors a hard
time because the job had come up the
year before
and i had applied for it she said i i
didn't apply for it
so when it eventually got me on campus
i mean it's it's one of the top schools
not just in
the west coast i think it's one of the
top schools in the country
i think the conference itself is the
number one conference at the division
two level
in the country and i wanted to be i want
to be a part of a department that
culturally
is successful and you know the staff and
the other student athletes it's just an
environment i wanted to be in
so i was fortunate enough that i got
that opportunity
and yeah i came uh all the way from uh
vineland
ontario which no one probably knows
where that is
i usually say niagara falls or toronto
and they're like oh yeah okay
so uh yeah east coast great lakes
that's my story hi i'm taylor uh my year
i'm a senior
um and then my hometown i'm from santa
clarita
i where i i tell everyone it's where six
flowers magic mountain is
um and then i'm majoring in liberal
studies and then after graduation
i want to go and try play professionally
somewhere
so let's see what happens with that
okay you will and sydney
um yeah so i'm sydney i'm from
englewood california i'm like down the
street from uh
from sofie stadium it's getting built up
um i'm a third year kinesiology major
and for after college still trying to
figure that out
but um i have a internship that does
like biomechanical analysis
that helps like patients assess injuries
and i'm really liking that so
possibly gonna gonna look for something
in that field after college
great wonderful all right well let's get
into it
um last season um you had an incredible
season
13 wins um and
you know it as opposed to what you guys
did
in 2018 um
where you had just five wins you turned
around had eight
uh you know eight more wins um
how do you how do you explain that
turnaround between a five win
season and a 13 win season and and what
was the difference
uh coach mason i'll start with you
you know what it's it's we get these we
got those questions a lot you know as
the season was going on i get calls
uh from different coaches just you know
obviously giving us a lot of praise for
the way the team was playing
i relatively the same group of people i
just think we uh we're a little bit
younger
in 2018 and we're unfortunate with some
injuries
i don't think a lot of people understand
like we started with the same record
as we did in 2019 and you know we
we work really hard on scheduling the
toughest schedule we can
possibly find and i think you know the
girls started well in 2018 we had some
injuries
and um you know soccer is one of those
cruel sports i thought the girls played
fairly well
i mean most games we dominated for the
most part
uh we just couldn't find the back of the
net and it's hard to win games when you
can't
can't score goals so and you know 2019
i think the girls came back in january
just with uh basically an
attitude like that's never gonna happen
again you know and they're really
determined their work
great i think you know our staff's very
fortunate that we have a group of girls
that
we don't have to address their energy or
their passion
every day it's just so much fun to be
out there with them and i think they
feed off of each other
and the last thing for us i think
the first year was all of our players
and i think we're very intentional about
who we bring in as far as
not just their ability but their mindset
and how the dynamic fits within the team
and um you know i credit my staff to
finding a lot of those players as well
so yeah it was a lot of fun and i think
the girls found some confidence and i
think
you know for any of us no matter what
we're doing confidence is
the biggest accelerator of your
development because you take chances and
i think the girls grew a lot this past
year and
now it's going to be a little different
challenge next time we step on the field
because i think people are going to look
at us
a little differently so the challenge is
going to be different
um but i'm uh i'm more than excited to
see them
how they accept that challenge
taylor and sydney same question for you
what was the biggest difference for you
guys from
2018 to 2019. taylor start with you
um i think the biggest difference was
our team chemistry
we did like like in our 2019 season we
did a lot of like team bonding and like
exercises to like
help like you said build our confidence
and i just think that was like
one of the main reasons and then like
whenever we would have like
i wouldn't say like problems but like
issue
i don't know how to explain it but like
and like something would like be wrong
we would always like fix it right away
we wouldn't let it like
carry on and like keep like growing and
getting worse so i think that was
one of the other like major things that
helped us
sydney um yeah pretty much
the exact same thing like what jay and
will taylor said
um i think the most the thing that i
noticed the most was the
switch and mindset um especially since
we did mostly like everyone from the
2018
season the majority of people who played
played again in the 2019 season and i
think we all like
had an understanding that we're not
gonna go through this again because
that did not feel great to only uh to
only win five games you know
and yeah like our team chemistry also
switched up i think
um our leaders and even our team
we really try like to uh go out of our
way
to make sure that we're bonding like
whether it's the whole team or whether
it's just like a group
of seniors hanging out with a freshman
for a day or something like we went out
of our way to make sure that we're all
like trying to stay connected with one
another
taylor 12 goals last season 29 points
they both led the cca
uh it was the most goals scored by
anyone
in a single season uh since hall of
famer ruth vantalant
uh did it in 2000. um
and i overheard someone call you a
walking gold machine last year
i don't know if it was your coach or if
it was uh i think it was
chase sanders even that said that um
speak of the success that you had last
season um
i think because i had gotten hurt in my
2018 season so i was out for like
i got hurt the first conference game so
i think it was more of just like i was
like
fired up and like just wanted to go out
there and do like the best i could and
like i trained
like as hard as i could and i like tried
to
i don't know i just it was it was a good
season
okay and uh obviously your
your i want to call her your partner in
crime alyssa larkin
uh and she led the conference with nine
assists and
you know she assisted most of your goals
i mean uh
speak about uh how she kind of helped
you put
put yourself in in a position to to be
successful
um well she's just a great player and i
think me and her just connected really
well and
it's like hard to find that i think and
um i don't know i mean he just
seemed to figure it out we would always
find each other i guess
well you guys made it look beautiful i
mean that's for sure it's
it's one of those things and i'm gonna
go back i think
taylor's being a little modest she uh
she came in
this was early in the spring and she you
know we always ask the kids you know
we're resetting our goals how we're
gonna develop and
i don't know if taylor if you wanna say
exactly what you told me but
she came in and she's like i want to be
the leading scorer in the conference i
want to be all region
and you know i'm super proud of the fact
that she dedicated herself
to to trying to achieve those things
takes a lot of discipline a lot of
sacrifice
um and i think she grew up a little bit
too you know when you're hurt
and you're watching you tend to see the
game a little differently
how players interact you know and i
think it
i think it made her a lot better uh i
think larkin
she's one of those kids like she she
opens the game up for a lot of players
because she can beat players by herself
which i think instead of a team focusing
solely on
taylor or you know we were fortunate we
had three girls
minimum likely a lot of girls are really
good in those situations which
you know frees them up to win the space
i think taylor does a great job in front
of goal
that was something we were missing in
2018 when she got hurt
um you know we were scoring goals before
that
not to say it's all your fault taylor
it's not your fault but uh you know it
puts a lot of pressure on the team right
and um i was really proud of her that
she stepped up and
took that role sydney nine shutouts last
season
you broke uh the program single season
uh goals against average record with an
0.52
um and you're currently on pace to break
the uh goals against average record in a
career
uh you have 0.65 right now
um to what do you attribute the
turnaround from
an okay freshman season um
to an incredibly successful sophomore
season
um you know in all honesty i think i
just kind of
relaxed a little which sounds a little
bit contradictory
to say i'm like well you think if you're
gonna have a better season like you're
more intense like
more in it i think my freshman year i
was like over compensating
like everything like everything
and uh this year i was like you know
what i'm just gonna go and play
and you know what happens happens like
i'm just trying to do my best to make
sure that i'm doing what needs to be
done
for the team you know and i think that
really helped me
because i relax more it helped the
people who play in front of me
like trust me um and know that like hey
like i know sid has my back and i know
that they have my back even though
they're like
in front of me but yeah it's just
you know i think i was just like i'm
just here to play
you know i'm not here to like be
extremely focused on a small mistake and
when you know what mistakes happen
so thing i was like i'm just gonna play
this game
and i'm trying my best to win and yeah i
think that's
what helped me the most this season for
sure
coach obviously sydney she was a huge
factor
uh but speak a little bit about the
defense in front of her i mean they were
very stingy as well they they didn't let
a lot behind
them yeah it's defense is a lot of pride
not a lot of people like to play defense
everyone wants to
to score goals so i think it was a
complete effort i think we
you know our game model is built around
how we defend and how we press
and i think the team saw in the spring
how well it worked
you know we shifted our formation a bit
so i think it it made it a little more
comfortable for the girls
to uh to defend as a group i mean the
back four
you know i think they grew a lot a lot
of adversity in that first year a lot of
pressure
when you know you're struggling to score
goals it puts a lot of pressure on
on the back line to to be perfect and um
you know that that pressure mounts and i
think you know
back to to sydney's kind of evolution
um it's tough as a freshman to step in
there and you know i knew it was going
to be a challenge for her
and we talked a little bit about you
know mistakes are going to happen and
learning how to deal with those mistakes
um i think part of her and the way she
communicates to the backline
changed a lot and i think that was more
of a
collaborative effort you know and vice
versa they were able to communicate with
her as well and just minimize the amount
of opportunities we did give
up um but yeah i mean we had a back line
with
a ton of experience um you know and i
was super proud we had some kids step
in that had never played you know until
until this past season and you know i
think the transition when you see that
with some players that step
in and make it look seamless
um that's attributed to the players
around them and how they communicate how
they support each other
and yeah i'm super proud of of sid and i
think
you know we we changed a little bit how
we trained
a little bit and um you know i think
with her
she matured i think we have a great duo
i think clarissa really helps out as
well
you know she has experience back there
and um
i was a lot of fun that i got to work
with him because i miss it
i miss training goalkeepers and you know
to get to spend some time with him
they might disagree they might be like
you know what it's enough jay like we'll
we'll take somebody else today but uh
you know it was part of
i always looked forward to it you know
working with them and see them
find that success and you know i think
with anything whether you're scoring
goals or
or protecting the goal backline
goalkeeper
it's all confidence you can just see the
way the team started to carry themselves
we have room to grow don't get me wrong
we got some room to grow
but yeah it was a lot of fun a lot of
fun training with them
all right well not to rehash any bad
memories but
uc san diego conference tournament
semifinal
zero zero heading into the 109th minute
and you give up that goal that that
gives
uh uc san diego the uh the advancement
to the the championship game what
what happened there was there a
breakdown what uh this question's for
anybody
you guys want yeah i mean i'll let them
answer that
i'll jump in i mean the amount of times
i watch that goal
after the game i i
broke down every single from the top to
the bottom like every single pass
um it was just really unlucky that's
that's all there is to say i was really
unlucky um
the ucsd player got a shot and she got a
small deflection
that i wasn't able to react to and
ball just went in but i mean
even though they got that chance like i
still believe to this day
that we played some of the best soccer
that we have in a while like we were
here to compete
you know i think we played really well
and then ucsc just
just got a chance and yeah i mean that's
all there is to it to me
yeah jay you told me after that game you
said
we just a minute 30 we just needed to
get to pk's
and we would have had them we would have
smashed them in pks i have no doubt
about that
no doubt now why why is that why why do
you think that you would have smashed
them pks
i mean we work on it uh but
i think we we got a group of people that
you know we have a number of girls that
i know would step up and feel
comfortable in that moment
i believe we have one of the best
goalkeepers in the region or the country
so i'm very confident in what she can do
in there so
i think it puts a little more pressure
on
on them to since you know they're i get
it they're the favorite
i understand that part but i i just feel
like our girls
you could see san diego kind of
panicking a bit
because i know they didn't want to and i
and i
i'm good friends with her and jonesy's
great you know and i think she she knows
and if you listen to the interview after
the game i mean we
when we play the way this this team can
play
we are one of i believe that we are one
of the best
and i think back to that confidence we
got to be confident against teams like
that all the time
um but i think it was unfortunate i
think we
we came up with some injuries late in
that game
that uh you know and and i believe you
know the player that
uh the player that uh
was on the ball at the moment i think
she just cramped
it was you know the girls i mean i
couldn't ask for anything more i mean
they bought
into we changed our formation a bit in
the second half
made it really hard for a team that
dominates teams
to to even get quality opportunities so
it was like i said it was unlucky moment
when
the ball initially came in and then the
deflection and
it's the cruelest game in the world
tyler yeah well
that leads into my next question college
soccer has a
20 minute sudden death overtime
period and in the playoffs
it's probably got to be one of the most
stressful 20 minutes of anybody's
life at that moment i mean speak on how
stressful that can be
from both the offensive side of the
side of the ball and the defensive side
of the ball
start with taylor what do you think
taylor um
i think it's just very stressful i think
um
you like your teammates you guys just
need to find a way to like like i
remember
it was the msu game when we scored in
like the last like
10 seconds or something of the game um
um like in our team huddle we were just
talking about like settling down
and just like playing our game and like
not like
being all hectic and like passing and
finding our like
each other so i think that is like
one of the main things that like you
have to do in overtime
it's just like calm down find each other
and just play your game
yeah yeah i i i'm just gonna interrupt i
just feel like it's
you gotta look at the game the same way
right
i mean obviously you got to minimize
some of your choices that may be
a little riskier than you normally would
you know you might play the game a
little differently maybe a little more
direct
to to you know put the onus on the other
team to maybe make the first mistake
um but yeah i mean it's you just gotta
as taylor said you just gotta play you
know it's not like you're gonna change
everything in that second
it's not it's not really possible right
and they're feeling the same thing
they're feeling the same pressure you're
feeling right so the team that
puts more energy into just playing the
way they need to play to be successful
usually comes out on top but i mean this
we've only lost one overtime game since
i took
this program and you know i think that
speaks to the resiliency of the kids
and and how they approach those moments
the team's done a great job with that
but sorry sid to interrupt it's
different for a keeper
it's got to be different from a keeper
yeah it's a lot
different from a keeper's perspective
for sure um
i mean like taylor and bo and jay both
said like you do just have to play
but it for a goalkeeper
you want to stay like calm cool and
collected for your team but you all
still have to tell them like look we
only have like
30 seconds to figure this out or
something like that so
i think for a goalkeeper it's balancing
um
times of intensity and times where you
have to
settle down and like reassure um like
your defensive line and then have them
keep pushing the message forward
but um for like for example for the ucsd
game
i was really just thinking i was like
okay we're going to film the kicks like
this this is it this is it like i just
i started getting that mindset already
but
what's more stressful the 20 minutes or
the the pk session
20 minutes for sure okay 20 minutes
that's what i would have guessed
because pk's i mean as a goalkeeper
there's only so much you can do
you know you do everything you can to
make sure you at least get one save
but those 20 minutes feel like forever
sure now speak of point loma
i and again i'm i'm like probably
bringing up some some terrible thoughts
right now but you would have opened
this season on thursday against point
loma the same team that you lost to
in the first round the ncaa tournament
you lost to them three to one
but you opened last season with a
2-0 victory over them so i mean what's
what
it's a long season obviously but what
was the difference between the
the 2-0 win at the beginning of the year
and the the 3-1 loss to the same team
end of november
jay oh sorry start or anyway anyone can
start with that
yeah you know um
you know point loma had come off an
extremely
successful year and christy does a great
job with that group
um you know i thought our girls they
came out that first game was something
to prove
and i mean there was no doubt for me in
that game we had maybe two moments where
we
where they broke us down but the rest of
the game i mean it was
it was so much fun to watch and i
remember talking to christy before the
ncaa game and she's just like
she's like just watching you guys she's
like it's really hard to be really hard
to break you guys down and
and i guess point loma has some really
talented kids
you know and i think you know soccer is
one of those you only need a couple
moments
and um and you know i think for us
we had three tough weeks i mean we had
to go up to your old stomping grounds
and deal with
the team who won our conference in the
regular season in sonoma and play a
really difficult place
um and then travel back and play you
know cal state la
who is undoubtedly one of the most
talented teams in our conference
um and then go and deal with ucsd
so i think you know we we played three
of the top teams in the region
and then you know you meet up point loma
we're pretty banged up a little bit
you know we were some girls that weren't
100 which again is part of the season
um and obviously we started well
in that game you know we scored early
and
uh to be very honest i i thought we
should have scored probably two or three
in in that first half and we didn't and
we we kind of had a
the goal we gave up wasn't a good one it
was it was a goal that we
normally wouldn't give up um which kind
of deflates
you know some of that energy i think um
we had a couple early chances in the
second half and when they got that early
not early but when they got that second
goal
i think it was just mentally we were
we were really tired we lit we just
looked we looked tired
that's my sake taylor are you gonna say
something
um yeah i was gonna say that i think
because we scored early on them
um and i think we just got too
comfortable and then they scored on us
and we like kind of like started to wake
back up more and then like they just
scored another one right away so i think
that kind of just
i don't know everybody kind of like gave
up after that happened and like we just
couldn't come back from it
yeah i i'd agree with taylor i think
after
like jay said too i think the first
school we were kind of like well this
doesn't usually happen like what are we
doing you know
and um i think after they scored the
second one
we got into panic mode which then led to
us
kind of breaking down because when you
panic you know your passes aren't sharp
you don't connect as well
like the communication drops and i think
that's how they
essentially got the third goal and like
we just started
started breaking down after that
all right go ahead no no i just think
you know it's
uh it's our first experience in it
and for them i mean they had a couple
years experience in those moments and i
think for us it's a great
learning opportunity for for our team um
to deal with that to learn how to deal
with that so
yeah first ncaa tournament since 2014
so i mean that's an incredible
accomplishment in itself
just to get there so um i know i enjoyed
watching you guys last season and um
and i hope that it's not much longer
until we can
uh see you guys out there on the field
again um speak of that
uh starting in march when this kovid 19
pandemic started kind of
affecting the rest of the sports world
um
you know spring sports were cancelled
and then
nba mlb mls
all those sports started canceling
themselves
um i i would assume that
it didn't really hit you at that time
like oh that's
you know really going to affect our fall
at what point throughout from march to
now
what point did you somewhat start having
some concern or realize
that maybe my fall might be impacted by
this
i'll let anyone start on that yeah i
mean
i think we were the first conference in
the in the country to
to make that decision and um
you know obviously that comes down from
from the higher ups
and you know i i understand that the
health and safety of it the timing of it
i think was frustrating for
not just our group i think most of the
groups in the conference
uh just because i think you know
as an athlete you're trained to be
resilient and optimistic and
i think for us we we were at least for
i'll speak for myself
i was i was more along the lines of like
oh we'll find a solution to this
and we'll be okay um so i i know at that
point was probably really hard for the
kids
and uh you know once everything else
started to kind of the dominoes maybe
started to fall a little bit with
conferences around the country
uh and within within california
i think the reality kind of set in you
know and i think it's difficult when you
you always have a path and a schedule
and
you know everything's aligned with
trying to achieve something and the
reward is to get out there
every day and compete whether it's
against your teammates or another group
and i think that's been the biggest
challenge or maybe what's missing for
all of us
just as far as even a coaching staff i
think even an athletic department
i think we thrive off of of those
moments and we thrive off of each
other's successes and watching one
another
uh achieve right and work and so i think
i know for me that was probably the
hardest part
and the timing of it for me i'm not sure
if it's the same for the kids but
uh what do you guys think
um okay i'll go
for me it really got real when um
they it sounds like hey we're gonna be
online completely
in the fall that's when i was like okay
i was like what's the worst case
scenarios like okay i just can't play
and i can't go to school and you know
that's what's happening
but i'd rather
not play and do school online than like
put
myself or my teammates or like staff at
cal poly
um at risk you know because what's going
on right now it's
it's bigger than sports you know and
even though sports are really important
and i miss soccer
more than you could know i was just like
you know what this
it's it's for the best you know it's for
the better
yeah i think um as jay said as one of us
being
or like our conference being the first
conference to like
say that we weren't going to be playing
in the fall that kind of
it kind of like set in a little bit
there but then like we would have
meetings and like they would
say like give us like a little glimpse
of hope that like we could play and then
like as things went on it was just like
more conferences started like coming out
saying that they weren't playing and
then like all the major
professional sports were saying that
they weren't playing so then
yeah it's your senior year
taylor i mean what
it's got to be really tough for you i
mean i
assume you'll you're going to play the
spring
assuming we play games um and i
i'm not i wish i'd looked this up i knew
i needed to look this up before i got on
this podcast but
um i don't think that they would charge
you with an
a year of eligibility if you played in
the spring
and if that is the case would you be
back in the fall are you just planning
on graduating
no i would come back i would do a
master's program
good answer i bet jay likes that one too
yup i like that one a lot perfect
uh i mean one of you guys what have you
guys done to stay together
to you know be you know
a team still i you know no one has
gotten together because we can't
get together uh but what have you guys
done to
to keep everyone engaged keep everyone
get the newcomers kind of involved in
in your team activities virtually and
what what's been going on um
we've just been just been trying to stay
connected by just communicating like i
know
um over the majority of the summer and
even starting up again now like we have
multiple meetings a week with um our
coaches and the whole team
and the coaches check up on us and then
um
i know our leadership group tries to
make an effort to make sure that we're
reaching out
to people constantly especially
newcomers and freshmen right now because
at least i know for sure when i was a
freshman i had no idea about anything
like i was clueless and for them to be
experiencing that
online right now and still being
expected to like know how to work
morocco direct like i
that's hard you know so just trying to
make sure that um
we stay reaching out and i know um
over the summer we did kind of like an
accountability thing like we had uh
like partners for a week and we'd make
sure that we're working out or just
reaching out to them
and you know even outside of that i know
a bunch of girls are trying to
get together like virtually or just
through text
um to make sure that we're holding each
other accountable
have you guys picked up any new skills
like you know
piano or underwater basket weaving
or anything of that nature i started
playing tennis
that was pretty fun i'm not very good at
it but uh
yeah that's a good sport good for your
footwork
i started golfing golf every week
okay we gotta go out then we should go
out there
there's days where i feel really good
and there's days where
that's golf for you though yeah it
humbles you really quickly oh yeah
sydney what about you um nothing crazy i
told myself my
new year's resolution was gonna be to
like read at least like two book
two books a month because i like don't
really read books often
um and i wasn't keeping myself
accountable throughout the year but now
i i've caught up i've caught up
so i've just been reading a lot i i
i guess i'm not much of a reader other
than maybe
some some sports stories or you know
this and that but
you know when i read on on twitter that
people have read like 50 or 60 books
just you know since march it's like how
do you find that time i don't know
that's just me
got one for me tyler i got one for you
i'm reading right now i'll bring it to
you
okay sounds good i did well i'd so i'm
from seattle and
i'm not trying to make this about me but
pete carroll
uh great coach uh has a book out there
that
people keep telling me i need to read
and and i just i need to
find the time to sit down and read it
might be because i have
two little toddlers you know ages four
and two that that
probably is tough and you know when
they're sleeping i want to sleep too but
uh at some point i do need to read that
book and whatever book you got
i'll try and read it yeah the pete
carroll one's good uh
i don't remember what it's called yeah
that's a good one
the one i mean now is a fiat of tim
grover nope
uh he trained like michael jordan and
okay
it's called relentless it's uh
it's good another one have you ever
heard of um david goggins
no i have not okay it's called can't
hurt me
it's a good one too okay all right i got
those
all right sounds good okay light i i
want to move on to some
a little bit more light-hearted
questions and then we're going to wrap
it up with some rapid fire
um taylor
you listed your pro your favorite pro
athlete as
messi um i heard a rumor
that he's gonna sign with the seattle
sounders
what are your thoughts on that wait
really i didn't hear that
yep what i thought no i'm just kidding i
have no i was just kidding
okay see that was my of course from
seattle like i said so i
you know i do everything i can to to you
know bring the spotlight on seattle
sports
if they can afford 800 000 a week good
luck
i don't know i don't know about that um
sydney um remember that one time that
the
the sounders beat lafc
in the western conference finals you
remember that one time
lafc your favorite team right lafc
is i i do care for that team a lot yeah
okay i remember that that was a that was
a fun game
yeah that was cool it was cool 3-1 i
think that that victory was
like you know a couple months ago who
remembers the score you know all right
exactly and uh taylor why do you hate
the beach
oh well actually funny thing is um i'm
at a beach house right now for my mom
um i just like sand and like salt water
and like the combination that is
hate it on me and like you can even ask
everyone on my team they always go to
the beach all the time and i'm like nope
i'm good i'm just gonna stay home that's
funny
mountains you like the mountains more
yeah or like a lake
okay so snowboarder at all
yeah okay okay i usually wakeboard
or wait sir well that you kind of have
to touch a beach sometimes to get on a
wakeboard
yeah i guess if you're not at a lake
there's not necessarily a beach i guess
but
okay so rapid fire
um this is how it's gonna work i'm going
to
ask a question and then i'm going to
give you about a second or two to think
about it
and then i'm going to start with sydney
and then we'll go to taylor and then j
okay so when i ask a question give you a
second
and then i'll say ready go sidney
taylor j just give your answers as you
know as fast as possible
okay would you rather have
t-rex arms or flamingo
legs flamingo legs and heartbeat
legs flamingo legs okay

replace your hands

sister and i watched uh jurassic
fallen something the last jurassic world

after drastic another one comes out in
2021 but this one was 2018.
all right on a scale of
1 to 10 10 being the best
how good of a driver are you 11.
um i would say probably like a six
okay i'd say nine nine and a half
the girls we did pretty well with the
bands
yeah i i've been in the back of taylor's
car a few times
and uh i don't know i don't know what
coach does she drive like
one of our coaches maybe yeah
they're they're like they're they're
like tied i don't know
because katie drives a little bit faster
but there's 80s tires
on her car they're like almost bald
because she drives so fast
is you know not not the greatest
all right favorite favorite childhood tv
show
