  • Bjorn (her partner) immediately noticed and questioned her injury.

• Jenny (C):

  • Left her grocery basket at Whole Foods to use the restroom, only to find upon returning that the staff assumed she left, and her basket was re-shelved.
  • Embarrassed, she had to redo her entire shopping trip:
    • “I came out… like, where the hell is my basket?” (01:54)

“We all won and lost this week.” (08:05) — Madison Keys

Transcript

[A]

This is the Players Box.

[B]

Hi, everyone, and welcome back to another episode of the Players Box. I'm Desiree Krafczyk alongside Jenny Brady, Madison Keys, and Jess Vagula. Please remember to give our podcast five stars and to subscribe to our YouTube page. We would very much appreciate it. All right, let's get into our unforced errors this week.

[A]

Okay, so today I got home from practice and was so hungry. Started making lunch, but was like, I need something to, like, eat while I'm making lunch, because I'm starving. And I was like, oh, amazing. I have scallion pancakes in the freezer. I'm gonna, like, fry one up quickly because it takes, like, five minutes, and then I can snack on that. So I fry it up, literally, like, take it out of a hot skillet, put it on the plate, and then just went, like, face first into it. And I, like, forgot how hot it was. And it was also, like, fried in oil, so it was hot and, like, could burn me. And I touched the side of my face, and I had this massive red burn on the side of my face.

[C]

Oh, my God.

[A]

Seriously? Afternoon. And I was like, did I just burn my face on my food? Like, what the hell happened? And Bjorn came around the corner, and he's like, what's wrong with your face? And I was like, I just burned my whole face because I went, like, face first into my food. Yeah.

[D]

Nice.

[C]

Ouch.

[A]

Okay.

[D]

At least it didn't scar, like, went away.

[A]

Yeah, it seems okay. It's also, like, we have good lighting, so I think it's blurry. That's a little bit.

[C]

So my unforced error of the week is I was at Whole Foods, and I was shopping, and I had things in my cart, and I really had to use the restroom. So I asked the man at the register, can I please leave my basket here with, you know, like, some stuff that I got. Do you mind if I leave it here while I go use the restroom? And I go and I use the restroom, and it takes a little bit longer than, like, a minute or two. And so I come out, and I'm like, where the hell is my basket? And then I asked the guy, and I was like, hey, I left a basket here. And he goes, oh, I thought you left. And I was like, oh, no, I'm still here. I was so embarrassed. I came from the bathroom, like, 10 minutes later, and then I had to go back and literally get all the things I already put in my cart. Wait, I was putting things back.

[A]

I was wondering, because we went Grocery shopping at, like, the same time. And I was like, why is Jenny taking so long? Like, everything done and home.

[D]

So you went home and she was still in the bathroom? Basically.

[A]

No, no, we went.

[C]

We went to different. We went to different Whole Foods. So Maddie made me. So the beginning of the story is I went over to Maddie's for coffee. Oh.

[D]

And that's when she left.

[B]

This is the day.

[D]

Okay.

[C]

But I had two coffees.

[D]

Gotcha.

[C]

So then when I went to Whole.

[D]

Food, which explains the bathroom, I had.

[C]

To use the restroom. And then I did my shopping before, and then I had to do it again, so.

[D]

Gotcha.

[A]

I remember that, like, we left within, like, five minutes of each other, and I was already home. And then she texted me something, and she was still in Whole Foods. And I was like, how did I. How did we leave? I've finished. Come home, put all of my groceries away, and Jenny's, like, still there.

[C]

Yeah. Maddie sent me a snap of her in her cowboy boots, and I was like, whoa, she's already home. Just getting started.

[B]

Just take two groceries again.

[D]

Mine. Mine. So I told you guys I was going to get a lash lift. I did get a lash lift where they, like, kind of perm your lashes up. So there's still my actual lashes. They're just, like, curled up. For anyone that doesn't know one side, she didn't do a great job. One was, like, more curled than the other. I do have, like, kind of longer lashes on one side, so it looked a lot more curled the other side. I don't know what happened. If it didn't, like, you know how you do it where they, like, have to, like, they put a lotion on and push your lashes up. So if it gets kind of hard to do, like, they always kind of keep fixing them and brushing them, like, while the stuff is on it. So then I was like, screw that. I'm just gonna get a kit from Amazon and I'm gonna fix it. And so I did do it myself, and I did fix the one eye, but then I basically, like, double permed one of them. So then I overshot that.

[A]

It looked so curled, and the other.

[B]

One was, like, curled.

[D]

I can't. Can you see that? They're, like, kind of.

[B]

No, I need a little closer.

[A]

Take a picture later and we can drop it.

[D]

And so I definitely overshot the one eye. So then I had to go back and I fixed the other one and did it again. I just, like, cut the time in half. And so now they're, like, pretty. They're even now. But it's really funny. Like, one was, like, too much, and then for like, two days, and then I fixed the other one, and then that one looked kind of wild and. And now they're. Now they're okay. But I guess that would. That was kind of my unforced. I was like, in my bathroom, like, with one eye, like, and you have to put this thing over your eyelid, and then you, like, brush the eyelid up and there's, like, solution, like, in my eye. But honestly, it actually did a pretty good job. I don't think I'd. I'd ever not do it at home. I would have to do one at one eye at a time, which is annoying. But, like, the $20 kit on Amazon, honestly worked just as well as sitting in a chair for, like, 45 minutes and. Yeah. So if you wanted eyelashes, how did you do it at home? I think total time was maybe like 18 minutes.

[B]

Oh, wow. So a lot quicker.

[D]

Yeah, it was quicker and faster. And I felt like I controlled my own destiny with my lashes.

[C]

I don't know if I trust myself with that. I feel like I would.

[B]

It's not for everyone, I guess.

[D]

Yeah. Jenny, I don't recommend you possibly doing that lash lip.

[C]

I'm going to, like, at home, lift my eyes.

[B]

Well, my unforced error this week is not exciting, but other than that, I wish I brought my duffel third suitcase here because I bought so much stuff in Japan, so. So I just have to shove everything in my tennis bag and my suitcase in two. So.

[D]

You don't have to buy another bag.

[B]

I just don't, like, have a ton of stuff. I mean, I bought a lot of skincare face masks and a lot of magnets. Oh, I did get a magnet from. Did I show you guys the magnet we got from a fan?

[D]

Yeah, we got a cup of in.

[B]

Yes. But a lot of skin care here in Japan and a lot of souvenirs and extra jackets from Disneyland. But no major unforced air this week.

[D]

I guess that's good.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

All right, well, let's see who's unforced error wins this week.

[D]

Jenny's is pretty embarrassing.

[C]

Yeah, it's pretty bad.

[D]

But yours is pretty good too.

[B]

Or Jess.

[D]

I know. And Maddie, like, physically injured herself, so I'm not sure. It's a tight. It's a tight call.

[B]

It's a tie.

[A]

I think for first. We all. We all won and lost this week.

[C]

Yeah. I don't know if I want to win.

[A]

No.

[D]

Yeah, we'll let the Viewers decide.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, the fan.

[A]

We can do a little poll for the fans.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

All right. It's Halloween week this week, and is everyone.

[C]

Happy Halloween.

[B]

Is everyone a Halloween fan?

[D]

I'm actually not super into Halloween, but I just think because that's. I've missed it for so many years, like we were talking about before, I haven't really gotten to celebrate it in a while.

[C]

Yeah. I mean, when was the last time you went trick or treating?

[B]

We're usually gone.

[D]

Yeah, well, definitely a long time since I've gone trick or treating.

[C]

I think maybe the last time I went was with you, Maddie.

[A]

I was gonna say we were like 12.

[C]

Yeah. Like a while.

[D]

Oh, my gosh.

[B]

Did you guys ever do this where you, like some neighborhoods, they would, like, give you this, the mini size candies, and then you're like, oh, my other friends, like, got the big candy. So you're like, oh, I'm gonna go trick or treating there next year. That's always fun to know.

[A]

When Jenny and I went trick or treating together, literally almost 20 years ago, we went in her neighborhood and there was someone handing out dollars. We went back to the house like six times, and we're finally like, we remember you. And we're like, whoa, it is not me.

[C]

We did a costume change. Costume change. I'm like, should I take my mask off?

[B]

Do you think there should be like an age cut? Like, for trick or treating?

[D]

Yes. Yeah.

[C]

I think 16. Or is that too old?

[B]

I was sugar treating. No, I think 16, freshman, sophomore year.

[C]

Because it's like, come on. Like, if you're like 17, 18, like, you're taking away from the little kids, like the 10 year olds. I mean, one time when I was in Orlando, like, I was outside just like, you know, I had a bucket of candy and I would just. The little kids would come and I would say, oh, take two, you know, and then I had to go to the bathroom. And.

[B]

I love how this.

[D]

Where this episode is going.

[C]

So I. I left the tray outside and literally I went upstairs and I heard like a group of kids coming. And I had the ring camera. And so I went on it and literally it was like 16, 17, like older kids. And literally they emptied. Emptied out the whole thing of candy. They took the whole thing. And so then I felt bad for all the young kids, you know, so I'm like, oh, that wasn't cool.

[A]

One year, my mom put like a bucket out, and they literally took the whole bucket. And she was pissed because it was like, apparently like a nice bucket or like, Her Halloween bucket. And so she like was like going around the neighborhood like looking for her Halloween bucket. And it was like, look like be on the lookout to see if you can find it because I want it back.

[D]

That does kind of suck.

[C]

Yeah. They didn't take my tray because it wasn't very nice, but they took all the candy in it. Rats.

[A]

I don't know.

[D]

Dress up as something for WTA Finals. I did so last year because that's.

[B]

Where the one year we could make it. Yes.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So the one year in Fort Worth, I think it was a couple years ago in Fort Worth, Texas at WTA Finals. It was Halloween and I was like, you never get time to dress up because we're always either on the road and not home. But I dressed up as an inflatable koala because I was like, what can I get on Amazon real quick? Like I want to just dress up. So Juju and I both grabbed a costume. She was an inflatable T. Rex. We went around like the whole Dicky Stadium and just for going up to people at practice and like I think we scared iga and then.

[D]

Yeah, you scared iga.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Who's in that tea?

[D]

Right? It was, it was like a media thing and you guys like jumped out behind her and she.

[B]

Yeah. And then we showed up to Caro versus practice and she was like, what? Like they didn't know who it was. And so we're like, oh, we're just going around.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

I remember you guys walking around in inflatable costumes.

[B]

You have to hold the fan like with you because it's obviously like has to circulate. But like when I'm walking like I am like waddling because it's just so much air and I'm just like this. But we'll clip it in. But yeah, it was really fun.

[D]

It was nice to dress up. That was funny.

[B]

Yeah, I think, I think an dressed up or she was scaring people in media, wasn't she?

[D]

Yeah, I, we did celebrate a little bit. I felt like cuz we were in the States too that year that it was like we were talking and doing it more the last few years. I don't remember like doing anything. I think it was Fort Worth is where I remember people actually like dressing up on site and getting into it a little bit.

[B]

We, we did ask for last year in Saudi. We were like, do we should we bring a costume? What like if we want to celebrate. And they're like yeah, you should have. And we're like, oh, we, we didn't know you know, we just wanted. Didn't know if it was, I don't know, celebrated there in the culture, but it was fun. Love dressing up as koala.

[D]

[B]

Like even the funny scary movie movies, like those. Those ones I was like, oh, no, those are still. I don't like scary movies.

[A]

Shelby Rogers and I were at a. We were at like Challenger somewhere, like over Halloween in the States years and years ago. And we went and it was like one of the Paranormal Activity movies came out and we went and we watched it at like 9 o' clock at night or something because our hotel was across the street from a movie theater. And so we went and we watched it and we were so freaked out and we had to walk back basically, like across this field and then like across a highway back to our hotel. It's pitch black. We just are so freaked out. And we were walking around the back of the mall and all of a sudden it was like in the loading dock. Something, like, crashed and fell and like broke in a million pieces. And we both just took off running and we like ran into our room and like closed the door and it was like four in the morning and I was like, shell, are you asleep? She's like, no, I'm so scared.

[B]

Yeah, I feel like if I hear like any type of. If I watch a scary movie or like, do you guys remember the movie When a Stranger Calls? I think it's what it's called.

[D]

Yes. Yeah. Yeah, that's what it's called.

[C]

I never watched it, though.

[B]

So scary that. Yeah. But anytime, even with that, like, you hear a little tiny, like, creek or like a. You're just like, oh, my gosh, like I don't know.

[C]

Like, I hear my own heartbeat and I'm like, yeah.

[D]

Like at a hotel room, like, if you were by yourself, like, no.

[C]

Yeah. Clearly the deadbolt doesn't work.

[A]

As we've.

[D]

Learned from previous experiences.

[B]

Yeah. Scary move is not for me, but I'd rather, like, carve a pumpkin or something. Like something.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Something fun.

[C]

Yeah. Carving pumpkins.

[B]

Yeah. Any good pumpkin carving you guys have done before?

[D]

I haven't done one in a few years.

[C]

I just always, like, never.

[B]

I know that's a lie.

[D]

Carving.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I feel like you did one one year at my house. I think I have a picture of it.

[C]

Oh, gosh. Yeah. It's probably literally just triangle eyes and then triangle nose and then like a triangle mouth maybe, or like a circular mouth. Yeah, we did it. I remember that's the last time I carved a pumpkin.

[A]

Let's see.

[C]

Was that was you, Maddie?

[D]

Experienced a lot of your last.

[C]

Our last Halloween experiences. Oh, my gosh. There it is.

[D]

[A]

Oh, my gosh.

[D]

That's so funny.

[C]

Triangular eyes. That's me. Yeah. I don't have an ounce of creativity in my body.

[B]

A couple years ago, I've done one. Usually if I'm home, I would carve a pumpkin. Actually, I said last time you guys college.

[D]

But are you freelancing or do you do, like, the little. Don't they sometimes give you.

[B]

Oh, yeah, sometimes.

Sometimes.

No, no, I do the sheets.

[D]

The sheets for the. Try the two triangles. And.

[C]

I need all the help.

[B]

I did one one year where you, like, sketch out the eyes and then, like, it looks like it's like, vomiting up, but it's like the insides of the pumpkin.

[D]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

Clever. And then you put the light inside.

[D]

Yeah. I did one, I think, one year, right? We put, like, a cigar in his mouth. That was kind of funny.

[C]

Oh, that's funny.

[B]

That's funny.

[D]

Yeah. The best one I ever did. I think that was a while ago, though.

[C]

Oh, my gosh.

[D]

What about Gilmore Girls? Anyone watch re watch during this fall season.

[C]

But fall is my favorite.

[A]

Wait, what does has Never watched it ever, guys.

[B]

I haven't even start watching it.

[D]

It's literally, like, perfect for. I feel like you would love it.

[C]

Yeah, you would.

[D]

I'll start very friendly, quick, and, like, witty. And it keeps your attention span.

[A]

You do have to pay attention because they talk real fast.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Okay.

[D]

They do.

[B]

So can't do it while I'm folding laundry and doing other things. Okay.

[D]

No, you could.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

But I feel like that's why, like, you can re. Watch it because they. It's so quick and witty that, like, when you re. Watch it again and again, you pick up on, like, all these little things that maybe you didn't pick up on the first time, but.

[C]

Yeah, it's vibes.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Fall vibes. It's like. It's, like, nostalgic. Like, fall is the best time of the year, arguably.

[B]

Pumpkin spice lattes.

[C]

Yeah, guys. Oh, yeah.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[C]

Remember?

[A]

Hang on.

[C]

We also. What, raising my hand?

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Raise your hand.

[C]

Remember in the chat when we all said, fall is like, we love fall. And then Des said, I love summer. And then we all said, but you've never experienced a Florida summer.

[A]

We were all suffering in the middle of a Florida summer. And Des was like, no, summer is the best. It's like a perfect 80 degrees with a slight breeze from the ocean. And we were like, I wore seven T shirts today. Practice.

[C]

Literally, my shoes were oozing.

[B]

Okay. In my defense, growing up in Palm Springs, like, I was never home in the summer, so we'd always go to the beach. We'd play tournaments. So it's like, oh, this is so nice. But it's 125 degrees in Palm Springs. But, yes, living by the beach now, it's hard to complain. And then, obviously, going back to growing up Palm Springs in the fall, it's still really hot. You don't see any leaves falling from the trees. It's just sand in the mountain. So it's, you know, not really much. Not really fall. But I have experienced a North Carolina fall.

[C]

And, yeah, it's beautiful. It is foliage.

[B]

Yeah, the foliage, it's.

[C]

It's so pretty.

[B]

So that fall love.

[A]

Great.

[C]

I mean. Yeah. I mean, in Florida, we don't get. See seasons. Like, it's summer, really hot summer. Like, cool summer.

[D]

And then, like, nice two weeks.

[A]

Two weeks of winter and two weeks winter.

[C]

Oh, my gosh, it's so cold. I had to turn the heat on. And it's like, 55 degrees.

[D]

Jenny, last week.

[C]

Oh. Outing myself.

[D]

You did just out yourself?

[A]

Yeah. Yeah.

[D]

Jenny, we are going to a Jonas Brothers concert tomorrow night.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

Oh, Jealous.

[C]

Reunited.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Where are you guys?

[C]

I was listening to. I was listening to Jonas Brothers on my drive down from Orlando just now.

[D]

Couldn't understand any of the words you said.

[C]

Well, there was one song. I really thought it was, like, k pop, and I was like, wait, Jonas Brothers radio? I don't know. I texted it to Jess. I can't remember what.

[D]

I don't remember what.

[B]

Well, when you have the radio. Sometimes they mix in songs that are like, similar to that.

[C]

No, it wasn't the radio. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it was. I can't lose.

[D]

Okay.

[C]

I said I'm listening to I can't lose. And I thought it was K pop for a second. I have no clue what leap they are saying.

[A]

Okay, But Jenny, what are you doing before the Jonas Brothers?

[C]

Oh, yeah. So hopefully.

[D]

Yeah, hopefully she's there.

[C]

Hopefully I'm there because I have jury duty. I have jury duty. Yeah. At 8am so we'll see.

[B]

What time's the concert?

[C]

We have to leave by six.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

But I have jury duty hour away from, like where Jess is. So.

[D]

Yeah, that's stressful.

[C]

Don't do it.

[B]

Stop looking.

[A]

I'm like, so I have to do. I have to do jury duty. Well, I got selected for jury duty in November and like, Jenny and I are on very different sides. Jenny's like, I hope I don't get selected. And I'm like, low key kind of hope that I get selected. And it's like a crazy trial that I get to sit on.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I'm like, that's your dream. Truly.

[D]

Literally, yeah.

[C]

Like calling. Calling tonight like the night before. It's like you call and see if they actually need you. And I was like, damn it. Like, I was think I was hoping for the. You are no longer needed.

[D]

I haven't been asked to do jury duty in so long. I. I kept delaying one because I was traveling and I kept delaying, delaying, delaying. And then finally I just like actually talked to somebody and they were like, yeah, like, whatever, we'll just take you off. Like, I don't even know what happened. But I. I haven't been asked or gotten anything in the mail since. That was like eight years ago.

[A]

This is the first time I've ever gotten selected. But, oh, first I got home, I got home from Wimbledon and I had a notice that was like, please respond by whatever. And I obviously was not home to see it. And it was like I had basically almost missed jury duty. It was like, you're requested to be there like tomorrow. And I was like, okay, well, that's not going to work. So I called and I was like, so I just got home. I cannot come to jury duty tomorrow because I actually physically cannot. And they were like, okay, well, you'll like get put back in a pool and then we'll like reselect you. And then I got it like two weeks ago. And I was like, man, I was like at the top of their List.

[B]

I have yet to do jury duty, so let us know how it goes.

[C]

It's our. It's our legal obligation.

[A]

It's your civic duty.

[C]

Yes. Speaking of civic duties, has anyone followed the headlines on the NBA gambling situation?

[B]

Heard about it. Sorry.

[D]

I always have to call it out because I just love it so much.

[A]

And the chat is so funny.

[D]

I'm just looking.

[A]

Oh, my gosh. Denny and Harris just like.

[D]

It makes me laugh so much. Okay. Sorry.

[C]

Has anyone been following?

[B]

I haven't really been following, but I did read. I did see the article about it, but it is pretty crazy.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I've only got bits and pieces of it, and I'm pretty lost as to what's happening.

[B]

Basically, just don't be fixing games and.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Don't start a secret gambling ring.

[A]

Yeah. Wait, so someone started a gambling ring, but then is it, like, all one case or. Because, like, the mafia is also involved? Which Mafia? Portland Mafia.

[B]

That was funny. Wait, where is this mafia from?

[A]

I was like, I've been to Portland, and it doesn't seem like the city to have a mafia. Their outfits are flannel. Like, all I could envision was, like, people sitting around drinking at, like, coffee shops. And I was like, I don't think, like, the mafia is really a Portland thing, but, like, that shows how into the sports news that I've been. I was like. I saw Portland mafia gambling, and I was like, they must all be connected.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Wow. Wild headlines.

[D]

Anything with gambling is just. I mean, we obviously, we get a lot of the. I don't think any of us really gamble, but the people that gamble our matches, we get to enjoy that fun part of being a. Being an athlete, I guess I should say.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

The messages are just crazy. Just.

[C]

Yeah, a lot.

[B]

I mean, it's crazy. People can say behind a screen, like.

[A]

Yeah, never forget being at United cup and you guys searching for my Venmo. And I was like, oh, no, I have a fake name. Because gamblers have, like, found me on Venmo, and they sent me abusive messages requesting money after they lost or after I lost?

[C]

Yeah, after they lost.

[A]

It'll literally be like, I lost $5 on you, and it was my last $5, and I hate you, and I hope you die. And I'm like, bro, why are you spending $5 on this?

[B]

Like, this is insane.

[A]

I think that you have other problems. If it's your last $5 and you're betting it on a tennis match, it's.

[B]

Amazing that they find you on it. Like, that's wild. Did that happen to both of you? Jess and Jenny, Right?

[C]

Yeah, I had. Yeah. I changed my Venmo name. People are like, don't tell us.

[A]

Yeah, no, I'm not gonna.

[C]

I'm not gonna say my name, but, like, I'd be like, oh, actually, tell me yours, because I don't even know my name because I changed it, so I don't even know, like, what my name is on Venmo.

[A]

So.

[C]

Yeah, because I got, like, a request for, like, $5,000, and I was like, what the hel.

[B]

Like, oh, my gosh.

[C]

I was like. And so. And then erase the profile picture, obviously, and then change the name. All that Jazz. So, yeah, it's. It's actually crazy, but, I mean, I don't know.

[B]

I happen to so many players, too. So many players either. Like, recently, Maria Sakari, you had Marketa von Druseva. There's. I mean, tons of players that have mentioned and posted what. What fans or betters have been saying. I wouldn't say fans, but gamblers have been saying. But it happens way more often than people think, and it's. It's a lot. So.

[A]

Okay. I, like, will say that there has been a few that have been, like, really horrible. And I'm like, okay, who could actually say this to me? And then I go to their profile page, and if they have any information I may or may not have contacted, like, the phone number or the email address that they have on their public Instagram account, or I send it to my friend, and I'm like, hey, are you bored? He told me to go die today. She's, like, on it. Yeah.

[C]

Investigator. Yeah.

[A]

One time I left, like, he had his. Okay. He literally told me. And, like, it was, like, 15 messages. I can't even say it because, like, you'd have to beep out every other word. But it was, like, the most graphic way of, like, dying. Getting cancer. Like, go run in traffic and get hit by a car. Like, horrible stuff. And it was all of these messages. And so I went on his page, and he had his business accounted, like, attached to it.

[B]

And.

[A]

And it was his business. Like, he. He was the owner. So I went on Google and I wrote, like, 0 out of 5 stars. I was like, I feel better now. Yeah, you're, like, a little way crazy.

[D]

Like, they literally. And it's insane when you're like, this person functions in society. Like, they have a business or they have a girlfriend or they have their kid in their profile picture. And I am like, how?

[A]

Like.

[D]

Because some of them, when you don't see anything. And it looks like they just started a new account. And you're like, okay, whatever. They're just like, they're pests. Whatever. But then you see, like, people like that who, yeah. Are functioning. And you're like, wow, I expected a lot more from you. And that was really horrible. And yeah, they say scary too. Insane stuff.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I mean, yeah, it's about your family or like, oh, I'm gonna come find you. I. I hope your mom or dad gets cancer.

[D]

Something. They love the cancer. They love saying cancer.

[C]

Die, die, die.

[D]

Oh, my gosh.

[B]

And they put the emoji, the vomit emoji and the clown emoji.

[C]

Yeah, the vomit emoji and clown emoji is like number one.

[D]

Or the trash can.

[C]

It's like, yeah, hope you get cancer. Die, die, die, trash. And I'm like to say it three times. I think once is enough.

[A]

My favorite is when they try to call you a loser, but they say looser. Oh, yeah, you're a looser.

[C]

I know, I'm pretty loose.

[A]

Yeah. Or it's like they'll like, misspell so many words or whatever. I'm like, you know, I. It could be like, sad or scary or whatever, but it's more so, like, maybe learn how to type things properly so that it lands, but, like, it's not really landing because you said, like, looser. And they love to be like, every single time you lose, they're like, oh, you're a match fixer or whatever. And I'm like, bro, trust me.

[B]

I really, like, you're up 5:1.

[A]

Oh, yeah. So hard. They do.

[D]

I love saying match your fix. Someone needs to report you. I don't know how you're getting away with this. I'm like, dude, I'm trying so hard. I'm not match fixing.

[C]

I can fix.

[D]

Promise you.

[C]

Yeah, like, I would know how.

[A]

I literally wouldn't even know how.

[C]

Wait, I love when I comment on, like, someone's photo. Like, let's just say, like, Jess, I comment on your photo, like, ten weeks ago.

[D]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

And then I'm getting responses to my comment on your photo. Like when she plays a match puking emoji, like, die, die, die. And I'm like, whoa. Like, where did this come from? I'm like, this was like 10 weeks ago and she just lost yesterday. And why are you responding to my comment? Like, I like. Or like someone's like, oh, you look so cute. No, you look ugly. Ugly, ugly, ugly. Like, whatever.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

My personal, like, favorite, like, creative was Dracula Face. Bleep.

[B]

That's it.

[C]

Oh, well, I mean, I was going to like, Dracula face was like, what they called me.

[B]

We're definitely bleeping that out.

[D]

I hate when, when I try to report like a comment or on Instagram or Twitter or whatever, but they do misspell things. But I know, like, what they're trying to say, but then you report it and they're like, we didn't see anything wrong with this comment. I'm like, no, this guy sucks. He's trying to tell me horrible things. He's just misspelling loser and the B word and all these things. And I'm like, no. But like, this is a bad comment.

[A]

Please report the restricted. It's the restricted words, like thing in Instagram where you can go in and like, block certain words. The amount of like, misspelled words that I have or like, they'll use like asterisks or something for letters. I have all of them in there. It's like you have to scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll. But the amount of stuff where I've been, like, someone is probably trying to comment, like something totally fine and normal, but because I put looser in there, like, it'll never get.

[C]

Seen.

[B]

Wait, can you send that? Can you copy paste that list? Send it to us?

[A]

Yeah, you can also put emojis in there. Oh, you can. You can restrict emojis, I believe.

[D]

Wow.

[C]

No wonder I haven't been able to do the puke emoji on your photo.

[A]

Or the clown emoji.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

That'S great.

[C]

Dang. Wow.

[B]

Do you want to just. Do you want to do.

[C]

Do Rapid Fire Confessions?

[D]

Yeah, let's do it.

[C]

Biggest meltdown you've ever had on court.

[B]

Oh, yelling the F word really loud at French Open.

[D]

Yeah, that one was great. Cuz you could hear it on the video.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Des, when you tried to. When you tried to appeal it and then you sent us the video, we're.

[B]

Like, everyone who doesn't know this happened at French Open last year. I was playing doubles and I mean, there were people in the stands, but the mic isn't. The microphones are in the back of the court. And so after I lost the point, I just yelled really loud. And I didn't think it was loud at first. I was like, I don't. Like, whatever. And during the match, I was like, oh, maybe I'll just get a warning. I got a warning. Then after the match, I get an email and like a letter saying, like, you got a fine for $4,000. Because it was audible obscenity for saying the word. And. And I was like, you guys won't believe that. And I was like, you guys, I just got a letter about paying a $4,000 fine for saying the word, the F word. And then I sent you guys the video. I sent them the video. And it's just literally silent, and it's just me yelling out the word. And I was like, it can't be that bad. And they're like, you guys, it's so bad. And I was like, okay. It was really loud in the moment.

[D]

Didn't sound loud.

[A]

So you were like, should I. Should I appeal this? And we were like, no.

[C]

But at first you guys, Maddie and Jess were both like, oh, dez, you should definitely appeal that.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

And then you were like, oh, oh, I have a video of it. And then you sent the video and they were like, oh, no, no, no, you can't appear.

[A]

You're done.

[B]

But I actually did appeal that because I've never had a big offense, so it did let me go. And I've been on my best behavior for the past.

[D]

Yeah, I was gonna say, I thought you did, and it was fine. That was so funny. You're like, I can't believe I got fine. What the heck? Blah, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, screw them. Appeal it. And we saw the video, which, by the way, I hope that you have it and we can clip it.

[A]

I have it.

[D]

Probably bleep it because it's so funny.

[A]

It's like dead silence. You're kind of screwed. Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

That's an L. Yeah, in a way.

[B]

But anyways, yeah, okay.

[C]

Yeah, that was the wrap. Sorry. I had a little meltdown in Nottingham. It was a grass court tournament, but it rained every single single day. So up until the semis, we played on indoor hardcore. And I was playing my match and I hit an approach and I'm coming into the net and I'm playing Sarah Cerebres Tormo. And she hits a forehand down the line or something. Passing shot. And line umpire goes out and then goes, correction, ball was good. She corrected herself. And I go. And I lost it. I mean, I'm grinding with. With Sarah.

[D]

Like, who's the ultimate.

[B]

It's gonna be three hour match anyway.

[C]

It's literally a three hour match, like, guaranteed grinding. And I'm exhausted and I'm like, no, you cannot correct yourself. The ball was out. And then I literally just like lean over the net and I'm like, no. And my racket just drops. And then the chair Empire is the French guy.

[B]

Kadani.

[D]

Kadir.

[C]

Kadir. Yeah. And he. Yeah, he's, like, kind of laughing and, like, I'm like, these lines. People are terrible. And then same. Literally, like, I said something else, like, at the back, and then you just see, like, one of the lines, people running to the chair and, like, tattletailing on me. Like, she was ratting me out for, like, saying something. And then he's like, hey, like, you gotta watch it. Like, you know, And I'm like, it was. I had a massive meltdown.

[D]

That sounds like an actual meltdown.

[C]

It was. It was a full melt. I have a video. Oh, please.

[D]

I would love to see that.

[C]

Yeah, clip that in.

[B]

Yeah, please.

[C]

Yeah, we're clipping it. Christy has the video. Of course Christy's gonna come through. No, you cannot hurt yourself in his house. Maddie. I feel like Maddie doesn't do meltdowns.

[A]

I had a few internally. My melts. Yeah, internal are usually internally. And it's like I look maybe, like, a little distressed on the outside, but on the inside, I'm, like, dying slowly. But the only ones I can really remember are from juniors. And I, like, really crashed out hard a few times in juniors. Specifically, I was playing 18's Eddie her when I was 13 against someone who will remain nameless. And we had a chair umpire doing the score. So she was sitting on our court. I think it was, like, the semis or something. And. And so I'm up a set, and I'm up in the tiebreaker, and it's like, I'm up, like, six three in the breaker, and the girl that I'm playing walks up to the chair umpire and goes, no, it's not six three. It's five. Whatever. Five, four, me. Like, she won this point. And then I did this, and then I did that and whatever. And the chair umpire goes, okay, and starts erasing the scorecard and changing it so that she's up 5, 4. And I was like, wait, I don't. I don't understand what's happening. Like, I'm literally, like, up. Match point. What are you talking about? And we got into this fight, and I proceeded to just, like, go from what I would say is, like, pretty chill to just immediately, like, sobbing and inconsolable and like, oh, my God, my mom is freaking out on the side of the court, of course, in, like, full tennis mom mode. And I proceed to, like, lose my ever loving mind. And I, like, picked up the plastic chair and threw it over the. Oh, my gosh.

[C]

Oh, My gosh.

[A]

I was like, this is wrong.

[C]

We need a. Literally, like, we need a video of that.

[A]

I don't think it's on. I don't think it's on video, but I threw the plastic chair over the side fence and the chair on my Madison. You need to calm yourself down. I was like, and you need to learn how to keep score.

[C]

Oh, my gosh.

[A]

And, like, it's a pretty good meltdown. Just melted, like, couldn't handle it and obviously lost a set and then proceeded to lose, like, 6, 0 in the third set because I couldn't function. And then I just walked off the court and I was, like, in a corner just, like, sobbing for, like, literally an hour. And then I was like, okay, I probably shouldn't ever do that again. Pretty okay since then.

[C]

Oh, that's good.

[B]

Can you top that, Jess?

[D]

No, I was trying to think I had any, like, encore melts. I'll do a couple off court after the match. Melts.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

There was Jenny's, like, me too.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

I think in Fort Worth, after I went 06, I destroyed a racket in the stair in the stairwell of Dickie's Arena. But, like, it's so loud you could hear it. And I was just, like, walked out of there, and it's like the walk of shame.

[C]

You're like, yeah.

[D]

Did you leave your racket? I think I did. Yeah, sure.

[B]

Someone collected it.

[D]

That was a melt. I had kind of a mini melt against Elise Mertens in Dubai during COVID I was up, like, a set in five, two, and I had match points, and I think the screen went out in one of them. And we had a let or something weird happened. And I was playing so well, and I had never beaten. I was, like, serving Vol. Like, I was, like, playing out of my mind. And I finally, like, you know, won a really tough first set and just put myself in position to win the second at a couple match points. There was a let on one of them where, like, the banner or something went out or the lights came on and they called a let, and I obviously end up losing the match. But, like, when we went into the third, I, like, there was no chance for me. I had. I was just like, there's nobody in the stands. I think David. I was with David Witt at the time, and I was just, like, talking to him, like, I can't believe this happened. And I can't believe I'm here right now. And I just, like, this is ridiculous. I just can't. Like, the stupid lights, the friggin lights going off and it's like we're like well into the third. Like, there was no chance mentally that I was coming back from that. That was, like, pretty bad, actually. But it was just made it worse because there was nobody in the stands. We're playing, like center court in Dubai. And then I think after that, I did destroy a racket. I think I left it in the truck. You know the Dubai hotel is connected to the site. Right. We were talking about this with Jeremiah Creek. Whatever. And there's like a little pathway by the pond. And I really, really wanted to just chuck my racket into the pond so bad. So freaking bad. I, like, kind of wish I did it for this story. Honestly, now that we're fast forwarding, I wish I did. I think I threw it in the trash can.

[C]

You did.

[D]

Next to the pond. But I smashed a racket, like, literally walked off the court, walked straight to my room, smashed it, like, on the way. I was like, screw this. And I think I thought about just chucking it, but I think I put it in the trash can. So that was a nice smell.

[C]

Wow. Yeah, that's a.

[B]

Poor coaches get the brunt of it or melting down sometimes.

[C]

Okay, moving on to fan Questions from Jesse2303. Have you all ever gone on a girls trip, just the four of you? If you did one next year, which place or country would you want to go together? Ooh, I think we've already talked about.

[D]

I was just thinking about, are we going to Waco to go to. Oh, the silo?

[A]

Magnolia.

[D]

Magnolia. Yeah.

[B]

I thought we were gonna do Montana.

[C]

Yeah. I was like, oh, Waco. What's in Waco?

[D]

Well, Jenny was like, I don't really follow Magnolia, but I'll go like. But we were. We talked about it, like, last year briefly, and I was. Because it's becoming fall. I was just thinking about it watching. Watching her on TV the other morning. Yeah.

Okay, next question from Yong. When you step up to serve, what are you thinking about? Is it a target, a mantra, a pep talk? Does this change when your opponent is serving? Usually, like, when I'm serving, usually I'll think, I don't want to give away too much, but usually I'll think, okay, where am I gonna serve? What's the score? Like, what serve have I been hitting well so far in this match? And like, depending on the score and what situation I'm in, how confident I'm feeling, then I'll go for that specific serve and then look to set up the point. You know, with my first shot, I'm.

[A]

Usually more like, where am I gonna serve? And where do I want to put the first ball? Depending on which side it comes too.

[B]

I'm basically just serve tea survives your body and then hopefully it goes in that direction. But sometimes I miss my target.

[C]

Yeah, but don't you, like, say, like, serve, poach, or like, serve?

[A]

Well, yeah, Doubles you, doubles you.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Tell the other person what you're going to do.

[C]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

And doubles, usually it's, well, you're obviously trying to focus on your serve first. You're not focusing on the returner, but with your partner, it's either serve poach or serve. Like, fake it or serve come to the net. But, yeah, mostly when I'm serving, I'm usually just focusing on my serve, and then I'll let my partner do the rest, hopefully.

[D]

Yeah, I'm usually thinking about what serves I've been hitting. Well, what's higher percentage? And I feel like I calculate that with, like, what's their better shot? Where do I feel like I get a better second ball? Where do I think they're going to return? Do they like to go inside in? Do they like to go foreign cross if I hit my spot? Like, yeah, I'm usually thinking about quite a lot, actually. And where they're standing, too. Are they covering wide? Are they covering tea? So I feel like I'm thinking about a lot.
