Speaker 1 (00:00):
Who's right most of the time? Me? No, you either,
I'm not. I am right most of the time. Why not?
So why not me?
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Because you don't read the instructions ever, just put stuff
together and don't look at the instructions, and then it's
always messed up.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
This is not about putting the thing together. Who is
right doing structure papers? Welcome to game recognized game. I'm
Brianna Stewart and today I am joined by a very
special guest, Marta Chark, Guy cass de Mont, a former
(00:38):
player for the Phoenix Mercury, an Olympic silver medalist for
Spain and a EuroLeague champion and also my wife.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Hello, Hello, I roped you into doing this, so just
tell them, just tell him that I roped you into it.
But aren't you so excited?
Speaker 1 (00:53):
So excited? Listen.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
On today's show, we will discuss a lot, most importantly
our relationship, how we got together and what makes us work, parenting,
the joys and the challenges behind that of having two
kids under four. And also we will answer some fun
rapid fire questions and see if Martha has her own
(01:21):
parenting advice in the parents' corner.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Are you ready? I am ready? Hopefully are you nervous? Yes,
I don't like these things. She's shaking. I'm not shaking.
I'm just moving my life.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Okay, listen, okay, okay, what was your first impression of me?
There we go and how do we first meet? Tell
the people my first impression.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I don't really have a one. I remember meeting you
at the World Cup. You remember that moment? Probably not.
You just want the goal, we want groans and we
were waiting to go to get the medals. So my
national team coach was our coach in Curs, Russia, where
she was going to complain. So I remember you asking
(02:09):
the coach you could comely. Do you remember this? And
then you say yes, no, and me and Anna Cruz
that we are in national team that we had to
go like four days after whenever we had to go,
we were like, if she's going late, we're going late.
But I was like, look at her, she's already asking
for more things. I probably went late. No, you did not.
(02:29):
We all went on the same time.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
I didn't go four days after that, but like, I
don't remember, but yes, okay, backs to me, back to you.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Your first my first impression of you? I don't know.
I think you were normal for like no offense to
all the Americans that come overseas, but you act a
little bit different when you came. You come there, but
you were normal friendly. You don't talk to me, but yeah,
we just wanted to win. That's that's you. You THNK
(03:00):
care about anything else.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
And what do you remember from what we played together
in Russia? Which is easy, like just playing basketball. I
feel like it was just easy. It's easy to play
with you.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Wish I wish I was back, She does wish she
was back. With the contracts coming out, Oh yeah, I'm
about to come out of retirement. Just easy, Like you know,
you didn't demand alogue, You're just like make it easy
for easy for your your teammates. And like I said,
(03:38):
you just wanted to win, and I just wanted to
make the Red play win. And that's it. They go home, okay.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
And now you tell the story of like how we
first how we first started, because you tell this story,
and then I'm going to tell this story. Yeah, because
your story is not right.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Yours is not right. No, mine is right. No, my story.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
We were never friends before, like we were teammates, but
like to me, she had her friend and I had
piff and she was my friend and that was it.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Yeah. I had my driver's surgey and that was it.
So you tell your story and then I'll tell me
my story. Is we played together for the whole year.
Well I don't know whole year, eight months whatever, So
until final four. Well, I have to say. You text
me one time asking if I was okay because I
wasn't playing good, and I was like, yeah, whatever, didn't
(04:36):
really it was just one night after you really game,
I think, and then we're just like practice. I go home,
barely talk. I do remember that when you find out
because my friend said that I was gay, you were shocked.
I was shocked. But other than that, no thing until
(05:01):
final four. That then we started to talk. You were
texting me a lot. So Thursday now we were just
texting back and forth, no, for that whole weekend, and
I was like, this is my moment. You know you
were you were sending signs. Do you say this sending signs? Yeah?
I guess I don't know whatever signaling until you rupture
(05:28):
your achilles. Yeah. And then I made the move because
she was going home, so regardless, it was had to
be that day, that night or nothing. So I made
the move, but I have to say we were It
(05:51):
was obvious. It was very obvious. That night, she invited
the whole team in her room and I had to
send her message and I was like, can you kick
them out? And she said, no, you do it. I
just rapped form my achilles, Like so yeah, you could
be like I was hurt. I was shocked.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
My whole life just got like flashed before my eyes.
But you stay okay. So my my version of this
story is the same, like whatever, we played on the
team together the whole season. She had her friend Sonya
Sonya Petrovitch, who's like very famous basketball player now Sonya Vassitch.
(06:32):
And I was friends with Piff Epiphany Prince, who's like
a bucket. She scored a one hundred points in high school.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Look her up.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
So anyways, like we didn't really hang out because she
was just like doing whatever with her friend and I
was just hanging out with Piff. And then like, you
were sick one day, so I had my driver. She
was so sick one day, I had my driver send
her medicine and then she like was like thank you,
blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I was probably only said thank you.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
And then during the final four weekend we were texting more,
but like I wasn't sure what was happening in her mind,
but she waited until I ruptured my achilles to kiss me.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
We were focus on winning a year league, right, we
would have won too, Yes, we were have She took
advantage of me when I only had one leg at
that point. Well, you didn't complain much.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
And look at us now, we're like seven years, seven
years together, crazy, Oh my god, seven years together. And
you know what happened to me the first day. This
is sorry, I'm going sidetracked. The first day that I
got to Turkey, I lost my wedding rings, both of them,
(07:57):
my engagement ring and my redding wedding ring. I landed
in Turkey and I landed at like six and I
went right to the gym to work out, took my
rings off and that was the last time I saw them.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
And I was very supportive. If that was opposite she was.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
She was very supportive. But my rings cost a lot
less than her rings. But I'm still sad about it.
And now, like my punishment is I just wear this
little little tiny ring.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Could be worse. At least you're wearing something. Okay, back
to my questions. I feel like I'm doing a test here.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Okay, Okay, huh, I want to know this one. What's
something that people don't know about me that you love?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Something that I love about you that people don't know,
probably is I think there's two things. I don't think
people is aware how good you can cook whenever you cook,
which is never, it's like it's when when we are
(09:02):
off season, like during the off season, she cooks more.
And I think the other thing that people, I think
barely people know is how you take care of the
people that it's around you, meaning I think you really care.
(09:26):
You're not selfish, even though maybe you don't have like
a big relationship with that person, you will always make
sure that the people specialty, teammates or coworkers or whatever
the case may be, that they have what they need
they if, like, like for example, with me, when I
was struggling in Russia, you make sure that I was okay.
(09:48):
And I think that's I think that people don't know
about you. Do you think that's accurate?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
You don't care they don't sounds good to me. Okay,
last question before you asked me the questions. Okay, what
because the show is called Game Recognized Game, So what
does game recognized game mean in a relationship?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
I feel just probably being supportive of being there for
each other, and I don't know, trying to trying to
be there especially good and bad moments. Don't know, lift
you up whenever you need it and vice versa. I
like that.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Okay, So now Martha, Martha is going to do a
part of the segment that I didn't like prep around anything,
So just bear with her in this moment. So now
you're going to ask me the questions. There's some some
guidelines here, but you can ask me any questions you want.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Okay, So now it's my turn to ask you some questions.
Let's see, Uh, what is something that you learned from
me on the court?
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I'm scared, Uh, something that I learned from Martin on
the court? I think Martin was a really great player,
But for me, she was like a really good defender
because of her size and her length.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Like you would play one to four, you would guard
one to four.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
So she always kept me grounded, like in my defense
because she always says that I suck on defense, which
I guess you can't tell me I suck on offense.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
But like.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I think I'm a pretty good defender, but you help
me be better. That's something that I take from you.
Is your your defense?
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Well, I think about when when I think about defense,
it's like defense is about wanting it, you know, And
I feel like.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
I don't want them to score on me when I'm
guarding that sometimes sometimes they score.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Well, I don't think you put a lot of efforts. Sometimes,
yes I do, sometimes you don't.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
I do.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
I get it?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Defensive first team, Well, I really really what you can't
tell me my you know, you know, my thoughts about
like the defensive players and like all these because I'm like,
you only count about rebounds and blocks, and for me,
I'm sorry that is the guard And she basically is
saying that the guards never win Defensive Player of the
(12:16):
Year because they only count the rebounds in the blocks.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Yeah, because for me, No, don't go the next question. No,
I want to tell what I think. What I think,
which I'm assuming a lot of guards over here are
gonna agree with me. They should count the amount of
points that they score on you. That's a good defensive player. Yeah, yeah,
do you agree?
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Yeah, whoever holds the person to like the lowest percentage,
and I would like.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
To know my percentage is probably freaking good. I'm not
saying it's not, but I'm not saying that probably a
guard is a very defensive player. Then like a lot
of you guys, it's okay, we're not gonna get into
that because they're gonna hate me. Okay, next question, Uh,
what's something about our relationship that people wouldn't expect?
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Oh gosh, something about our relationship that people wouldn't expect
that I'm the boss. Really said that I'm the boss
of the family the other day, So I'm like, that's
like my pride and joy right now. Then she said.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
That, yeah, And I don't know why she said I
am the boss. I am the boss too, of what,
the house of whatever, this whole thing. To stop it
with the one I'm the mini boss.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Okay, something about our relationship that people want to expect, Like,
I don't think people ever understand how busy we are. Like,
I don't think that from an individual perspective, I don't
think people understand how busy I am. But also like
as a collective, this entire family, we are a very
(13:59):
busy see our calendars are like, oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Every time I show my calendar to somebody, it's like
I can't no, I'm like what what? What's something that
you don't think people would expect about it earlier? I
feel like even though we are very independent, we do
depending on each other and we count on each other
for a lot of things. H you know, I don't
(14:25):
know if people expect that. But also I don't think
people expect us to be funny, and we are fucking funny. Sorry,
you can swear, okay, it's my it's my podcast, Miles
Night here, so you could swear. I just said it.
You could swear okay. So I don't think people expect
us to be like funny and like have this sense
(14:47):
of humor. Yeah, I agree. What are the advantage and
disadvantage of being married to somebody who play at the
high level?
Speaker 2 (14:56):
I think the advantages of like being right to you
and knowing that you've been in the positions and playing
at the level that I have is like, you know,
like you know, if I'm pissed off, like you're gonna
give me space, you know what I mean, Like You're
not just gonna be like honey, yeah, because sometimes like
(15:21):
after a tough game or after something happens in the game,
like you're just pissed and you just need a second
to like recalibrate. So I think you kind of know that.
And also you know what it's like to be an athlete,
like having to wake up, having to train, and having
to do all these different things.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
So like, which is.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Why I'm able to do what I do because you
continue to like hold down our fort especially during the season,
And I know it's not easy for you all the
time during the season, but you know how important it
is for me to be with my team and to
be completely president. And then the disadvantages are like, listen,
she tells me the shit that I do not want
(16:07):
to hear. Sometimes, whether it's about.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Me or our team or other things happening in the
basketball world, we have moments where I'm like, Okay, we
agree to disagree, Like we're just never gonna agree on this, no, yeah,
because we see things differently about this. That's fine. Yeah,
all right, time for a quick break.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Next up, we talk about our kids, the joys of parentings,
also the hard parts of parentings. And please rate, review,
and subscribe to game recognized game with Stuie and Miles
wherever you.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
We're back here on game recognized game. I'm sitting next
to my guest, my wife, and this time we're gonna
talk about kids and the joys and the struggles of parenting.
And I know all of you that are listening understand
what we mean when we say this, okay, So I
(17:22):
would just like to say to start, I think that
this is something that we should talk about on a
few pods ago. I told Miles that your kid can
grow out of a crib. Basically, Tayo was too big
for his crib and he wasn't sleeping right and he
was like hitting the bar and hitting the top and
hitting this. So we switched him to a floor bed
(17:46):
basically something a mattress on the floor. It looks fun,
but if he like rolls out, he only rolls like
this much onto the floor. But for whatever reason, Tayo
was still thinking that he could not get out of
his room until this morning. We woke up at six
point thirty this morning because Tayo was screaming hot wheels.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Yeah, they were playing with cars. Let's play course.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
So what happened was is Ruby and Tayo, like had
a sleepover in Tayo's room this weekend, and Tao saw
Ruby wake up and leave the room, and from there
Tayo was like, oh, I can open the door.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
I'm out. So I think from now on we will
be woken up.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
To buy hot wheels for many mornings to come, probably everyone.
So that's like our struggle right now in our house.
I mean, it could be worse. He could be down
here in the snack area, which.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
I wouldn't put it past him either.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
I just needed to tell everybody that because that's what
we're dealing with right now. How do you think that
we try to keep our kids' lives normal when really
nothing is ever normal about it?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Uh? Yeah, our life is no normal. But in our
normal life, I would say, keep their routines. I think
for us, since the beginning was with both of them
very important than I routine. And that's one thing that
you know, maybe friends, family, or whoever the case, maybe
(19:30):
didn't understand why we were doing it, but the night
routine has been always like a priority. I feel like
the rest of the day we can be anywhere, and
we take them most of the time everywhere, but neight
routine is like when it's time to go to bed
six forty five, we start their routine and note nights
(19:53):
in these spaces except except what you do sometimes. Well,
my struggle is whenever the game is at seven and
now by myself, I like Ruby stay up because then.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Don't blame it on my games. I was not playing
any games recently.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Well, I have people come over and I just didn't
want to put the two kids to pet, so Ruby
stay up until midnight. And that was not And what
happened the next day, Well, she was a grump like, mommy,
Yeah it's mommy.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
So I'm mommy, and that's mama. And make sure your
kid go spend on time. Oh, we're gonna do the
pet peeve a parenting because I know my pet peeve.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
You. I don't even know what that means, like something
that bothers me that you do with the kids.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
You can have time to think about that. How has
becoming a parent changed how you see me?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Mmmm? Well, you know what thing that always surprised me
about you is that whenever the kids are struggling with something,
or they're crying, or or they like whining or whever whatever,
you're so quick of thinking about something to make them
like change, you know, to distract them. Jessica that no
(21:14):
you never said, Jessica, but we can start out.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
I did, I said, Jessica one time.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
But I don't know. You always come up with something
like you know, story or look at these or whatever.
So I don't know. I mean, not that you're not quick,
but you know what I'm saying, yeah, distract them.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Yeah, we we in our this is our kitchen table
here and like in the backyard you can see squirrels sometimes.
So sometimes when they're giving me a hard time about
like eating or whatever or not wanting something, and I'm.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Like, look squirrel and they're both like, yeah, now I'm thinking.
I think another thing. You know how how not that
you're not anymore, but how obsessed you were with basketball.
You remember our first years together before the kids, like
you were saying, before you will lose a game, we
(22:02):
couldn't talk for hours, probably we were going to bed
without talking to each other. And now it's like that changes.
You know, you come home and it's like the switch.
You're back home and the game is a game, and
tomorrow is another game another day, unless it's the playoffs. Yeah,
then like she's just don't talk to me. We just
watch game NonStop. After the game, we will watch the
(22:24):
game next morning at seven am when she wake up, Like,
we'll watch the game again. Probably if we're having lines,
we will watch a game again. And then probably since
she already had film, we'll watch the film.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
So because in the playoffs you have to see like
any little detail is important, and if something works, you
want to figure out why it worked and how to
make it happen again. So like in the playoffs, it's
my life moment to like really be obsessed with watching
film with Marta. I'll make her like, we don't watch
shows in the playoffs. We watch film.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yeah, we're locked in. Yeah, I mean we're always locked in,
don't I'm locked in. I don't have an option during playoffs.
Do I want another? Yes? But you know here the support.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
What's what's the cutest thing Ruby and Tayl have done lately?
Speaker 1 (23:19):
I don't know. Tayl is so sweet, Talo is so sweet,
Tale is so sweet, Like he's so big, but the
way he always wants to hug Ruby and like whenever
you give him snack, he's like, what about Ruby? I
don't know, And Ruby is like a little bit more independent.
So whenever I think it was yesterday, literally yesterday, she
(23:41):
was like, I love you, mommy, and then she's like
I love you mama. I know these moments when I'm like,
where is this coming? I know, what do you want? Ruby?
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Ruby gives me like words of affirmation and I'm like,
this is incredible. I'm so proud of you. Remember she
said that I'm proud of you.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Just cry over here.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
And what's the most annoying thing about them?
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Well, Tao Tale now is like a whining non stop,
like constantly whining. He always wants to snack and snacks,
always snacks. I want a bar, I want blueberries, I
want grapes, I want strawberry, I want every type of
berry we want. He's never a fool. I don't know
this kid, No, no, I know, you don't want to know.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
What the most annoying thing is is that my kids
are in a competition. See who can open the door,
Who can turn off the TV with the remote? Who
can turn off the alarm, who can press the elevator button?
Who can end the FaceTime call or the what'sapp?
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Call? That is annoying?
Speaker 2 (24:47):
No, this morning, Ruby had a tantrum because uh no,
Taylo had a tantrum because I opened the door. And
tonight Ruby had a tantrum because Tayo turned off the TV.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Well, now that I'm thinking, another annoying thing from Ruby
is that in the middle of the night, she comes
to our room, goes downstairs, comes to my side, and
she's like, I have to be so she uses our
bathroom when she has a bathroom right next to her,
(25:23):
right next to her room, so then I have to
go up. So those are the nights that I'm like,
make it a little bit space and then I can
hear her saying she needs to go to her bed.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Yeah I'm not there yet. I'm not at the pet
peeve yet. Okay, Well I'll ask you, now, what's what's
the thing that bothers you the most about me as
a parent? Like, what's something that just drives you nuts
that I do.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Well? That sometimes I tell them no and then you
come and like, well maybe you can do this, and
I'm like, I said no, so don't try to give
them another thing because I said.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
No, okay, And then I'm the one that says you're
not gonna get a toy every time you go to
the store and they're like, Mamma got me a unicorn,
and Mamma got.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Me a stick a book, and Mammy got me a lollipop. Mama, Mama, Mama.
The lollipop was from the doctor. A ring pop really had.
They don't have rings pops at the doctor. That was
from Uncle Cory. Don't even blame that to me, because
I came home and her mouth was blue, so that's
that's not me. I only promise her lollipop. And I
(26:30):
gave them a toy because somebody forgot their toy backpack
in the airplane the other day, and that was not
I'm sorry. Was there a unicorn in there? No, Well,
we went to find the car for the Barbie.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
I like the pink backpack on the Delta plane when
we came back from Madrid. MARGIN was feeling very sick,
so I was holding I was holding all the bags
and I forgot the pink one and there was no
unicorn in there, so I'm not sure why we bought
that toy.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
We we went, we went to the toy store and
I said in that backpack ruby was a car, a
Barbie car and two mini Barbies. I don't know how
those mini barbies are called Manny Barbie mini barbies. And
then she's like, okay, we'll look for that. And then
she's obsessed with this Unicorns unicorn academy and she found
(27:24):
the toy. So you know, they got some hot wheels
and Ruby got the unicorn.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Okay, so you asked me, but now you're to ask me,
but I want you to ask me, what's my pappy?
Speaker 1 (27:39):
What kind of parent I am? Versus? Okay, what kind
of parent? What are you looking at? Are you ready
to like answer, no, I'm listening to you. What kind
of what kind of parent I am? Versus what you expected? Well,
(28:03):
I think that you are exactly the parent that I
expected you to be. What that means?
Speaker 2 (28:11):
That means that she color coordinates our closet with the clothes,
and then she color coordinates the kids' books, so like
there's like a little bit of like OCD in there
or something. So everything has a place, and you know,
sometimes the kids or I do not follow that.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
And then she gets a little bit irritated at that.
You know, you want to know why, because then Ruby asked,
what is it? So if it was in the place
that I put it, then I will know what it
is and ruby's pretty organized. You are like too a mess, But.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
In all seriousness, I knew that you would be a
great mom. I think that you will do anything for
the kids. I know that you'll like drop everything that
you're doing in a heartbeat to go help them do something,
whether it's big or small. And just know that while
(29:08):
it's like this balance of like we're not we're not
like obsessed with our kids, but we want to make
sure that our kids are like having the best they
can possibly have and doing whatever that they need to
help them build a sense of independence in our life.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
No, yeah, I agree with you. You know what I
was like, do you think I saw something? And it
made me realize that a lot of people are couples
well when they have kids, they just don't take care
of their relationship. And I was like, I think we
did differently. We do love our kids and they are
the most important in our life. But the thing that
(29:48):
I feel with it right or I'm proud of how
like we handled this whole thing is because we did
put our relationship first. Yeah. Yeah, I'll do anything for
my kids, but I feel like if our relationship is
not good, our kids won't have a good life or
(30:09):
you know, or the happiness that in a household should be.
We wouldn't have that because our relationship is just like
a roller coaster. And I do feel like we do
prioritize to have that in the right in the right place,
so then we can be there for our kids whenever
they need. I agree. What is the hardest thing about
(30:32):
being a parent that you didn't see coming?
Speaker 2 (30:36):
I think the hardest thing about being a parent that
like you don't know it until you're in it.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
It's like.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
You're always on, like you're always in in mom mode.
And I mean our kids are a little bit easier
now because they're foreign too, but like.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
It's not easy, I know.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
But like think about when we didn't you know, like
Ruby subdue the night at a pretty young age, but
Taale was was a lot harder. But like even when
we went in Seattle when Ruby was just born, and
it was like she had a fever and we went
to the er in the middle of the night and
I had a game against La like twelve hours later
(31:22):
or something like that, and it's like you told me
to go home, Like she kicked me out, she made
me leave because she was like, you need to go
rest and you need to go do these things. But
I wanted to be there for you. Wanted to be
there for Ruby, and like just knowing, like obviously I
trust you to be able to handle all things and
vice versa. But it's hard when like big moments like that,
(31:46):
good or bad, you can't always be.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
At Yeah, I mean I'm knowing that position, but I
got it. I remember being sad about that, and then
I was like at home and I was knocked out
because see, you have a game. You know what what
is harder? Uh, a dabble dabbling the dable NBA or
a full day of solo parenting?
Speaker 2 (32:09):
What a full day of solo parenting.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
We've been four days with no nanny, so he's been
a little bit sick. You know, he's sick.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Yeah, a full day of solo parenting because like when
where was I just recently with the kids, probably when
I was sick. You were sick, and we were in
Madrid and we were just like going around and we
were in court and Glaze, which is like a department store, right,
so it has all types of toys and stuff like that,
(32:42):
and Ruby was going one direction and Tayo was going
another direction, and neither one of them listen, but specifically
Tayo does not listen right now, like the two the
twos do not listen, and like just trying to to
kind of put a grasp, like get a hold of them.
(33:03):
And I think, especially soul parenting, when you're not home,
it's hard. Like if you're home, you're like, Okay, come on,
let's go outside, let's go to our normal park, let's
go upstairs, let's let's do all those things.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
But when you're you're.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Not in your normal element, it's a little bit more tricky.
And the double double double double just takes effort, you know,
go get those rebounds, run the floor, put backs.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Wow, well I probably never had a double double, so
probably m hmm. I don't know those those days since
you were in Miami and hour and any work Monday
through Friday and the weekends. I was by myself Monday
morning when I dropped the kids to school, and I
(33:49):
could have an hour of quietness in this house. I
enjoyed my warm coffee for like an hour. I didn't
talk to anybody, I didn't hear any screams, and that
was the best I want the pet peeve? Oh, what
was the question? It's not on that you need to
ask me what's my what's my pet peeve of yours?
(34:12):
What's my what's your pet peeve of mine? Yeah? Ok,
the question that you want me to ask you is
what's the pet peeve of mine?
Speaker 2 (34:21):
My pet peeve of Marta? Parenting Marta is that I
don't want the kids sleep in my bed. I don't
want to kids sleeping in our bed, like because it's
not comfortable. It's not comfortable for me. I never enjoyed
my kids sleeping in my bed. And Marta, when she's
(34:42):
tired or Ruby, because she knows how to play the game,
will come to MARTA's side and go pee or whatever,
and instead of just like going back to her room,
Martha just slides over and then all of a sudden,
it's a lot tighter on me, and somebody's in the middle,
and but he's on the other end.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
So that really drives me nuts. I have to say,
I don't like the kids sleeping in our bed either.
When it's the both of us, I don't want them.
Usually it's four am when she comes in and I
still don't want it. I know, but I was like,
my most precious hours of sleep. You'll be all right, say,
but when I'm by myself, Yeah, sometimes I want to
sleep at Ruby. I don't know, yep, and the same
(35:25):
like she lets Ruby stay up and then the next
day they're both miserable because they all sleep back. No,
Ruby's better than tail Tale. It's like you wake up
in the middle of the night, sit up, and then
like see your chairs and be like, yeah, that's what
he's really rough. Okay.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
The last question from this kind of segment while we
wrap up the kids is obviously we have the means,
you know, the ability to get our kids everything that
they need, but how would you say, like, how do
(36:04):
we balance it from getting them what they need versus
spoiling them and buying too much.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
I mean, I think it's hard, but I do think
we try Ruby, especially because she understands what that means.
We try to donate. We do clean the toys. Like
recently I went with her and I was like, Okay,
(36:33):
you have so many stuffed animals. We're going to donate
some because there are some kids that need it and
want them and they cannot they don't have money to
like get them. So I mean they are aware that
for them it's easy to get it. But at the
same time, I think we try to make them understand
that other kids don't have it so we can share.
(36:58):
And I think she's aware sometimes when I put things aside,
it's like, oh, we're going to donate them. Yeah, but
I mean it's it's tough. But like sometimes we just
go to the store and like, there's no toys. I'm
not getting toys every time I go to the store.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
Yeah, I mean, I think it's it's like having a
good balance, Like we don't want to get our kids
toys every.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Time we walk in, you know, they ask for and
I'm like, no, like you're not.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
You're not getting something every time we go somewhere, because
then that would just be insane. But I think also
we want to make sure that if we have like
the ability, I'd rather make sure we're putting things aside
in their their college.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
Fund or.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
That type of situation where it'll grow over time. Like
our kids, well, we make sure that they have everything
that they need, but we don't want to be over
the top because I want them to be like humble
and grounded too, And you don't kids only much to
be happy.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
No, I mean no, they play with the same toys. Yeah,
just give tails some cars, and Ruby these days is
like unicorns. So the more they have is the less
they play with, honestly, And that's really it. And we
still have way too many toys that we want to
keep getting rid of and donating, but our kids know
(38:22):
this one certain things are gone, so we have to
try to do it subtly. Yeah. I mean the other
day I put toys apart on the side and then
all of the side and Ruby's asking for that toy
and I was like, you haven't touched that toy in months,
and now you want to grab it.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Yeah. So we could talk all day about this one.
So time for one more break. Next up we go
rapid Fire and Martin gives her parents corner advice. We're
(38:59):
back wrapping up with some rapid fire and hopefully you
have your parents corner lives. Okay, all right, so I
think we're just gonna go really quick.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
What do you mean you have who's more competitive? You?
Speaker 2 (39:17):
Me?
Speaker 1 (39:18):
Boom, one point for me. Who's right most of the time? Me? No,
you either, I'm not. I am right most of the time.
Why not? So why not me?
Speaker 2 (39:30):
Because you don't read the instructions ever. You just put
stuff together and don't look at the instructions, and then
it's always messed up.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
This is not about pulling the thing together. It's at
who is right doing structure paper? Who's the better cook? Both? Yeah,
it's different. I don't cook that much. She bakes and
I cool? Yeah? Who takes longer to get ready? I
knew that I was coming. I will shower, makeup, hair,
(39:58):
and she's still like doing her don't rush, greatness, I'm
not rushing you. We just gotta go. Who is more
likely to forget something important? You like what? I don't know.
Probably you's on my calendar. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
I don't think either one of us is forgetful. Even
though I lost my rings, I did not forget them.
I lost them and I just don't know where they went.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
Yeah, I also lost the backpack on the plane. Two
things in a month. Do you want me to think
about the things that you forgot? Just okay?
Speaker 2 (40:45):
What special piece of paper did you not bring?
Speaker 1 (40:51):
It was in my wallet. It was broken, but it
was there. Who picks the shows to watch on TV?
At night?
Speaker 2 (41:00):
You?
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Because I fall asleep. She's the worst I'm tired. Same, Well,
that's your problem. I just closed my eyes.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
I were watching the show, watching a movie, and she
falls sleep. She waits them and she's like, tell you
what happened? And I literally hate that because I'm like,
if you wanted to know, you should just watch it.
Speaker 1 (41:18):
I just can't keep my eyes open. Who's the stricter parent? Me? Okay?
I have now? Can I talk? Thank you? So when
I'm by myself, it's me because it's like there's no
the only one. What the well? But I still need
to like do it? She I am. I am a
strict too, but she takes it way more serious than
(41:41):
I do. I just can't put the kids in like
a time out for like ten minutes. After two they
can come out. She will just live them there.
Speaker 2 (41:48):
If they did something to deserve that, yeah, I'm gonna
put that. But also just tell them no. I tell
them no, I'm stricter than you, right, I didn't. I
go to the toy sto and by Unicorn Academy and
Hot Wheels?
Speaker 1 (42:04):
Do we need to go in Amazon or wherever? Whenever
we come down to Miami? How many toys do you
buy them all the time? I didn't see my kids. Yeah, yeah,
so I want so they're happy to see you. They
don't need toys. I think I win that one.
Speaker 2 (42:20):
Who gets called for help more mommy, mommy, Yeah you
have another night.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
I want to know why tell them? Well? So Ruby
always came to my side, and you know, mommy is
the favorite. So one day I was really mad because
you know, mommy, mommy, mommy, and I'm like, I'm the
one that's here all the time. So I took that personally.
(42:54):
So I was like, you know what, Ruby, if mommy
is your favorite, and I go to her site. So
the next half or many months, it wasn't months she
was coming to my side.
Speaker 2 (43:04):
It wasn't month, and she wasn't sleeping in the bed.
Speaker 1 (43:09):
It wasn't months. It was a few days. It was
not days. That is such a lie. Days okay, two
weeks probably, thank you. And then I realized it was
like during the season and she was just waking her up.
So then I felt bad, and then I was like,
you can come to my side. Now, just suck her.
(43:34):
Who's more likely to give in me? Yeah, yeah, that's right.
I just have that soft spot. Sometimes no no means no,
And now what they do is Ruby goes to me
and I say no, and then she goes to Marta
and I'm like, did you not just hear me say no? Oh?
(43:57):
She needs to try.
Speaker 2 (43:57):
She's like you, all right, this is now usually I
do this. This is the end part of the show,
and it's my parent corner.
Speaker 1 (44:07):
So now don't you think I hear to your podcast? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (44:10):
I know she listens. She listens and she rates and
reviews and subscribes to my podcast. Yeah, but now it's
your return. Okay, So what advice would you give to
the audience about being apparent to two kids under four?
Speaker 1 (44:26):
My advice will be be organized. I mean I think
you just have to be ready for wherever it can
come up. But for me, what works, especially when not
by myself, and like I have the mornings to like
bring them to school, like have everything ready for next morning,
(44:48):
so the morning goes kind of smooth. It's never smooth,
but like organized in a way where it's like, okay,
they're lunchbox, they're backpacks wherever. And also I don't know,
by patience whenever you find it.
Speaker 2 (45:03):
And have a lot of snacks. Yeah, but like I
don't know, sometimes we'll like yeah, very picky. Okay, what
are you most proud of and what we built together?
I would say seeing their personalities. I think I see
(45:24):
them and they're like.
Speaker 1 (45:27):
Two strong, independent kids, but also you know, they're strong
and independent, but at the same time, they're kind Like
from what we hear from the teacher, especially from Ruby's class,
she wants to help people, and I think, like, you know,
we we make sure she understands that sometimes other kids
(45:51):
need help, and and I think it's like kind of like, yeah,
I think that makes us feel good now, like we're
doing something right. But also, you know what, what now
that I've been traveling, people have been saying that they're
like very educated, like they're like they're no wild kids.
(46:17):
They listen and I'm like, you don't know my kids
that they behave good on the plane, like everywhere. Like
I feel like we can take them mostly everywhere because
they're like they know how to be in places. No,
they're they're they're they're good. Yes, last, but not least.
(46:40):
What does the next chapter look like? For us? I
know you tell me.
Speaker 2 (46:47):
So you have for us this season season about me
no wedding ring, m Yeah, the next chapter for us?
I think we're gonna have a great summer, great season.
Uh get we'll be ready for kindergarten. That's crazy. And
(47:14):
just keep showing our kids that you know how impactful
we can be from on the basketball court to off
the court, and like also in the house and making
sure that we're making a difference everywhere that we go.
Speaker 1 (47:29):
Yeah, I can make your memories good memories. I need
more vacation stuff. I need a lot more vacations. I
love vacation.

Nine
Who's right most of the time? Me? No, you either,
I'm not. I am right most of the time. Why not?
So why not me?
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Because you don't read the instructions ever, just put stuff
together and don't look at the instructions, and then it's
always messed up.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
This is not about putting the thing together. Who is
right doing structure papers? Welcome to game recognized game. I'm
Brianna Stewart and today I am joined by a very
special guest, Marta Chark, Guy cass de Mont, a former
(00:38):
player for the Phoenix Mercury, an Olympic silver medalist for
Spain and a EuroLeague champion and also my wife.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Hello, Hello, I roped you into doing this, so just
tell them, just tell him that I roped you into it.
But aren't you so excited?
Speaker 1 (00:53):
So excited? Listen.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
On today's show, we will discuss a lot, most importantly
our relationship, how we got together and what makes us work, parenting,
the joys and the challenges behind that of having two
kids under four. And also we will answer some fun
rapid fire questions and see if Martha has her own
(01:21):
parenting advice in the parents' corner.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Are you ready? I am ready? Hopefully are you nervous? Yes,
I don't like these things. She's shaking. I'm not shaking.
I'm just moving my life.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Okay, listen, okay, okay, what was your first impression of me?
There we go and how do we first meet? Tell
the people my first impression.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I don't really have a one. I remember meeting you
at the World Cup. You remember that moment? Probably not.
You just want the goal, we want groans and we
were waiting to go to get the medals. So my
national team coach was our coach in Curs, Russia, where
she was going to complain. So I remember you asking
(02:09):
the coach you could comely. Do you remember this? And
then you say yes, no, and me and Anna Cruz
that we are in national team that we had to
go like four days after whenever we had to go,
we were like, if she's going late, we're going late.
But I was like, look at her, she's already asking
for more things. I probably went late. No, you did not.
(02:29):
We all went on the same time.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
I didn't go four days after that, but like, I
don't remember, but yes, okay, backs to me, back to you.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Your first my first impression of you? I don't know.
I think you were normal for like no offense to
all the Americans that come overseas, but you act a
little bit different when you came. You come there, but
you were normal friendly. You don't talk to me, but yeah,
we just wanted to win. That's that's you. You THNK
(03:00):
care about anything else.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
And what do you remember from what we played together
in Russia? Which is easy, like just playing basketball. I
feel like it was just easy. It's easy to play
with you.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Wish I wish I was back, She does wish she
was back. With the contracts coming out, Oh yeah, I'm
about to come out of retirement. Just easy, Like you know,
you didn't demand alogue, You're just like make it easy
for easy for your your teammates. And like I said,
(03:38):
you just wanted to win, and I just wanted to
make the Red play win. And that's it. They go home, okay.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
And now you tell the story of like how we
first how we first started, because you tell this story,
and then I'm going to tell this story. Yeah, because
your story is not right.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Yours is not right. No, mine is right. No, my story.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
We were never friends before, like we were teammates, but
like to me, she had her friend and I had
piff and she was my friend and that was it.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Yeah. I had my driver's surgey and that was it.
So you tell your story and then I'll tell me
my story. Is we played together for the whole year.
Well I don't know whole year, eight months whatever, So
until final four. Well, I have to say. You text
me one time asking if I was okay because I
wasn't playing good, and I was like, yeah, whatever, didn't
(04:36):
really it was just one night after you really game,
I think, and then we're just like practice. I go home,
barely talk. I do remember that when you find out
because my friend said that I was gay, you were shocked.
I was shocked. But other than that, no thing until
(05:01):
final four. That then we started to talk. You were
texting me a lot. So Thursday now we were just
texting back and forth, no, for that whole weekend, and
I was like, this is my moment. You know you
were you were sending signs. Do you say this sending signs? Yeah?
I guess I don't know whatever signaling until you rupture
(05:28):
your achilles. Yeah. And then I made the move because
she was going home, so regardless, it was had to
be that day, that night or nothing. So I made
the move, but I have to say we were It
(05:51):
was obvious. It was very obvious. That night, she invited
the whole team in her room and I had to
send her message and I was like, can you kick
them out? And she said, no, you do it. I
just rapped form my achilles, Like so yeah, you could
be like I was hurt. I was shocked.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
My whole life just got like flashed before my eyes.
But you stay okay. So my my version of this
story is the same, like whatever, we played on the
team together the whole season. She had her friend Sonya
Sonya Petrovitch, who's like very famous basketball player now Sonya Vassitch.
(06:32):
And I was friends with Piff Epiphany Prince, who's like
a bucket. She scored a one hundred points in high school.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Look her up.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
So anyways, like we didn't really hang out because she
was just like doing whatever with her friend and I
was just hanging out with Piff. And then like, you
were sick one day, so I had my driver. She
was so sick one day, I had my driver send
her medicine and then she like was like thank you,
blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I was probably only said thank you.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
And then during the final four weekend we were texting more,
but like I wasn't sure what was happening in her mind,
but she waited until I ruptured my achilles to kiss me.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
We were focus on winning a year league, right, we
would have won too, Yes, we were have She took
advantage of me when I only had one leg at
that point. Well, you didn't complain much.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
And look at us now, we're like seven years, seven
years together, crazy, Oh my god, seven years together. And
you know what happened to me the first day. This
is sorry, I'm going sidetracked. The first day that I
got to Turkey, I lost my wedding rings, both of them,
(07:57):
my engagement ring and my redding wedding ring. I landed
in Turkey and I landed at like six and I
went right to the gym to work out, took my
rings off and that was the last time I saw them.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
And I was very supportive. If that was opposite she was.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
She was very supportive. But my rings cost a lot
less than her rings. But I'm still sad about it.
And now, like my punishment is I just wear this
little little tiny ring.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Could be worse. At least you're wearing something. Okay, back
to my questions. I feel like I'm doing a test here.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Okay, Okay, huh, I want to know this one. What's
something that people don't know about me that you love?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Something that I love about you that people don't know,
probably is I think there's two things. I don't think
people is aware how good you can cook whenever you cook,
which is never, it's like it's when when we are
(09:02):
off season, like during the off season, she cooks more.
And I think the other thing that people, I think
barely people know is how you take care of the
people that it's around you, meaning I think you really care.
(09:26):
You're not selfish, even though maybe you don't have like
a big relationship with that person, you will always make
sure that the people specialty, teammates or coworkers or whatever
the case may be, that they have what they need
they if, like, like for example, with me, when I
was struggling in Russia, you make sure that I was okay.
(09:48):
And I think that's I think that people don't know
about you. Do you think that's accurate?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
You don't care they don't sounds good to me. Okay,
last question before you asked me the questions. Okay, what
because the show is called Game Recognized Game, So what
does game recognized game mean in a relationship?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
I feel just probably being supportive of being there for
each other, and I don't know, trying to trying to
be there especially good and bad moments. Don't know, lift
you up whenever you need it and vice versa. I
like that.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Okay, So now Martha, Martha is going to do a
part of the segment that I didn't like prep around anything,
So just bear with her in this moment. So now
you're going to ask me the questions. There's some some
guidelines here, but you can ask me any questions you want.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Okay, So now it's my turn to ask you some questions.
Let's see, Uh, what is something that you learned from
me on the court?
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I'm scared, Uh, something that I learned from Martin on
the court? I think Martin was a really great player,
But for me, she was like a really good defender
because of her size and her length.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Like you would play one to four, you would guard
one to four.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
So she always kept me grounded, like in my defense
because she always says that I suck on defense, which
I guess you can't tell me I suck on offense.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
But like.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I think I'm a pretty good defender, but you help
me be better. That's something that I take from you.
Is your your defense?
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Well, I think about when when I think about defense,
it's like defense is about wanting it, you know, And
I feel like.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
I don't want them to score on me when I'm
guarding that sometimes sometimes they score.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Well, I don't think you put a lot of efforts. Sometimes,
yes I do, sometimes you don't.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
I do.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
I get it?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Defensive first team, Well, I really really what you can't
tell me my you know, you know, my thoughts about
like the defensive players and like all these because I'm like,
you only count about rebounds and blocks, and for me,
I'm sorry that is the guard And she basically is
saying that the guards never win Defensive Player of the
(12:16):
Year because they only count the rebounds in the blocks.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Yeah, because for me, No, don't go the next question. No,
I want to tell what I think. What I think,
which I'm assuming a lot of guards over here are
gonna agree with me. They should count the amount of
points that they score on you. That's a good defensive player. Yeah, yeah,
do you agree?
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Yeah, whoever holds the person to like the lowest percentage,
and I would like.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
To know my percentage is probably freaking good. I'm not
saying it's not, but I'm not saying that probably a
guard is a very defensive player. Then like a lot
of you guys, it's okay, we're not gonna get into
that because they're gonna hate me. Okay, next question, Uh,
what's something about our relationship that people wouldn't expect?
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Oh gosh, something about our relationship that people wouldn't expect
that I'm the boss. Really said that I'm the boss
of the family the other day, So I'm like, that's
like my pride and joy right now. Then she said.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
That, yeah, And I don't know why she said I
am the boss. I am the boss too, of what,
the house of whatever, this whole thing. To stop it
with the one I'm the mini boss.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Okay, something about our relationship that people want to expect, Like,
I don't think people ever understand how busy we are. Like,
I don't think that from an individual perspective, I don't
think people understand how busy I am. But also like
as a collective, this entire family, we are a very
(13:59):
busy see our calendars are like, oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Every time I show my calendar to somebody, it's like
I can't no, I'm like what what? What's something that
you don't think people would expect about it earlier? I
feel like even though we are very independent, we do
depending on each other and we count on each other
for a lot of things. H you know, I don't
(14:25):
know if people expect that. But also I don't think
people expect us to be funny, and we are fucking funny. Sorry,
you can swear, okay, it's my it's my podcast, Miles
Night here, so you could swear. I just said it.
You could swear okay. So I don't think people expect
us to be like funny and like have this sense
(14:47):
of humor. Yeah, I agree. What are the advantage and
disadvantage of being married to somebody who play at the
high level?
Speaker 2 (14:56):
I think the advantages of like being right to you
and knowing that you've been in the positions and playing
at the level that I have is like, you know,
like you know, if I'm pissed off, like you're gonna
give me space, you know what I mean, Like You're
not just gonna be like honey, yeah, because sometimes like
(15:21):
after a tough game or after something happens in the game,
like you're just pissed and you just need a second
to like recalibrate. So I think you kind of know that.
And also you know what it's like to be an athlete,
like having to wake up, having to train, and having
to do all these different things.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
So like, which is.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Why I'm able to do what I do because you
continue to like hold down our fort especially during the season,
And I know it's not easy for you all the
time during the season, but you know how important it
is for me to be with my team and to
be completely president. And then the disadvantages are like, listen,
she tells me the shit that I do not want
(16:07):
to hear. Sometimes, whether it's about.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Me or our team or other things happening in the
basketball world, we have moments where I'm like, Okay, we
agree to disagree, Like we're just never gonna agree on this, no, yeah,
because we see things differently about this. That's fine. Yeah,
all right, time for a quick break.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Next up, we talk about our kids, the joys of parentings,
also the hard parts of parentings. And please rate, review,
and subscribe to game recognized game with Stuie and Miles
wherever you.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
We're back here on game recognized game. I'm sitting next
to my guest, my wife, and this time we're gonna
talk about kids and the joys and the struggles of parenting.
And I know all of you that are listening understand
what we mean when we say this, okay, So I
(17:22):
would just like to say to start, I think that
this is something that we should talk about on a
few pods ago. I told Miles that your kid can
grow out of a crib. Basically, Tayo was too big
for his crib and he wasn't sleeping right and he
was like hitting the bar and hitting the top and
hitting this. So we switched him to a floor bed
(17:46):
basically something a mattress on the floor. It looks fun,
but if he like rolls out, he only rolls like
this much onto the floor. But for whatever reason, Tayo
was still thinking that he could not get out of
his room until this morning. We woke up at six
point thirty this morning because Tayo was screaming hot wheels.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Yeah, they were playing with cars. Let's play course.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
So what happened was is Ruby and Tayo, like had
a sleepover in Tayo's room this weekend, and Tao saw
Ruby wake up and leave the room, and from there
Tayo was like, oh, I can open the door.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
I'm out. So I think from now on we will
be woken up.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
To buy hot wheels for many mornings to come, probably everyone.
So that's like our struggle right now in our house.
I mean, it could be worse. He could be down
here in the snack area, which.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
I wouldn't put it past him either.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
I just needed to tell everybody that because that's what
we're dealing with right now. How do you think that
we try to keep our kids' lives normal when really
nothing is ever normal about it?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Uh? Yeah, our life is no normal. But in our
normal life, I would say, keep their routines. I think
for us, since the beginning was with both of them
very important than I routine. And that's one thing that
you know, maybe friends, family, or whoever the case, maybe
(19:30):
didn't understand why we were doing it, but the night
routine has been always like a priority. I feel like
the rest of the day we can be anywhere, and
we take them most of the time everywhere, but neight
routine is like when it's time to go to bed
six forty five, we start their routine and note nights
(19:53):
in these spaces except except what you do sometimes. Well,
my struggle is whenever the game is at seven and
now by myself, I like Ruby stay up because then.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Don't blame it on my games. I was not playing
any games recently.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Well, I have people come over and I just didn't
want to put the two kids to pet, so Ruby
stay up until midnight. And that was not And what
happened the next day, Well, she was a grump like, mommy,
Yeah it's mommy.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
So I'm mommy, and that's mama. And make sure your
kid go spend on time. Oh, we're gonna do the
pet peeve a parenting because I know my pet peeve.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
You. I don't even know what that means, like something
that bothers me that you do with the kids.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
You can have time to think about that. How has
becoming a parent changed how you see me?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Mmmm? Well, you know what thing that always surprised me
about you is that whenever the kids are struggling with something,
or they're crying, or or they like whining or whever whatever,
you're so quick of thinking about something to make them
like change, you know, to distract them. Jessica that no
(21:14):
you never said, Jessica, but we can start out.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
I did, I said, Jessica one time.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
But I don't know. You always come up with something
like you know, story or look at these or whatever.
So I don't know. I mean, not that you're not quick,
but you know what I'm saying, yeah, distract them.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Yeah, we we in our this is our kitchen table
here and like in the backyard you can see squirrels sometimes.
So sometimes when they're giving me a hard time about
like eating or whatever or not wanting something, and I'm.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Like, look squirrel and they're both like, yeah, now I'm thinking.
I think another thing. You know how how not that
you're not anymore, but how obsessed you were with basketball.
You remember our first years together before the kids, like
you were saying, before you will lose a game, we
(22:02):
couldn't talk for hours, probably we were going to bed
without talking to each other. And now it's like that changes.
You know, you come home and it's like the switch.
You're back home and the game is a game, and
tomorrow is another game another day, unless it's the playoffs. Yeah,
then like she's just don't talk to me. We just
watch game NonStop. After the game, we will watch the
(22:24):
game next morning at seven am when she wake up, Like,
we'll watch the game again. Probably if we're having lines,
we will watch a game again. And then probably since
she already had film, we'll watch the film.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
So because in the playoffs you have to see like
any little detail is important, and if something works, you
want to figure out why it worked and how to
make it happen again. So like in the playoffs, it's
my life moment to like really be obsessed with watching
film with Marta. I'll make her like, we don't watch
shows in the playoffs. We watch film.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yeah, we're locked in. Yeah, I mean we're always locked in,
don't I'm locked in. I don't have an option during playoffs.
Do I want another? Yes? But you know here the support.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
What's what's the cutest thing Ruby and Tayl have done lately?
Speaker 1 (23:19):
I don't know. Tayl is so sweet, Talo is so sweet,
Tale is so sweet, Like he's so big, but the
way he always wants to hug Ruby and like whenever
you give him snack, he's like, what about Ruby? I
don't know, And Ruby is like a little bit more independent.
So whenever I think it was yesterday, literally yesterday, she
(23:41):
was like, I love you, mommy, and then she's like
I love you mama. I know these moments when I'm like,
where is this coming? I know, what do you want? Ruby?
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Ruby gives me like words of affirmation and I'm like,
this is incredible. I'm so proud of you. Remember she
said that I'm proud of you.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Just cry over here.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
And what's the most annoying thing about them?
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Well, Tao Tale now is like a whining non stop,
like constantly whining. He always wants to snack and snacks,
always snacks. I want a bar, I want blueberries, I
want grapes, I want strawberry, I want every type of
berry we want. He's never a fool. I don't know
this kid, No, no, I know, you don't want to know.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
What the most annoying thing is is that my kids
are in a competition. See who can open the door,
Who can turn off the TV with the remote? Who
can turn off the alarm, who can press the elevator button?
Who can end the FaceTime call or the what'sapp?
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Call? That is annoying?
Speaker 2 (24:47):
No, this morning, Ruby had a tantrum because uh no,
Taylo had a tantrum because I opened the door. And
tonight Ruby had a tantrum because Tayo turned off the TV.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Well, now that I'm thinking, another annoying thing from Ruby
is that in the middle of the night, she comes
to our room, goes downstairs, comes to my side, and
she's like, I have to be so she uses our
bathroom when she has a bathroom right next to her,
(25:23):
right next to her room, so then I have to
go up. So those are the nights that I'm like,
make it a little bit space and then I can
hear her saying she needs to go to her bed.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Yeah I'm not there yet. I'm not at the pet
peeve yet. Okay, Well I'll ask you, now, what's what's
the thing that bothers you the most about me as
a parent? Like, what's something that just drives you nuts
that I do.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Well? That sometimes I tell them no and then you
come and like, well maybe you can do this, and
I'm like, I said no, so don't try to give
them another thing because I said.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
No, okay, And then I'm the one that says you're
not gonna get a toy every time you go to
the store and they're like, Mamma got me a unicorn,
and Mamma got.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Me a stick a book, and Mammy got me a lollipop. Mama, Mama, Mama.
The lollipop was from the doctor. A ring pop really had.
They don't have rings pops at the doctor. That was
from Uncle Cory. Don't even blame that to me, because
I came home and her mouth was blue, so that's
that's not me. I only promise her lollipop. And I
(26:30):
gave them a toy because somebody forgot their toy backpack
in the airplane the other day, and that was not
I'm sorry. Was there a unicorn in there? No, Well,
we went to find the car for the Barbie.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
I like the pink backpack on the Delta plane when
we came back from Madrid. MARGIN was feeling very sick,
so I was holding I was holding all the bags
and I forgot the pink one and there was no
unicorn in there, so I'm not sure why we bought
that toy.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
We we went, we went to the toy store and
I said in that backpack ruby was a car, a
Barbie car and two mini Barbies. I don't know how
those mini barbies are called Manny Barbie mini barbies. And
then she's like, okay, we'll look for that. And then
she's obsessed with this Unicorns unicorn academy and she found
(27:24):
the toy. So you know, they got some hot wheels
and Ruby got the unicorn.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Okay, so you asked me, but now you're to ask me,
but I want you to ask me, what's my pappy?
Speaker 1 (27:39):
What kind of parent I am? Versus? Okay, what kind
of parent? What are you looking at? Are you ready
to like answer, no, I'm listening to you. What kind
of what kind of parent I am? Versus what you expected? Well,
(28:03):
I think that you are exactly the parent that I
expected you to be. What that means?
Speaker 2 (28:11):
That means that she color coordinates our closet with the clothes,
and then she color coordinates the kids' books, so like
there's like a little bit of like OCD in there
or something. So everything has a place, and you know,
sometimes the kids or I do not follow that.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
And then she gets a little bit irritated at that.
You know, you want to know why, because then Ruby asked,
what is it? So if it was in the place
that I put it, then I will know what it
is and ruby's pretty organized. You are like too a mess, But.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
In all seriousness, I knew that you would be a
great mom. I think that you will do anything for
the kids. I know that you'll like drop everything that
you're doing in a heartbeat to go help them do something,
whether it's big or small. And just know that while
(29:08):
it's like this balance of like we're not we're not
like obsessed with our kids, but we want to make
sure that our kids are like having the best they
can possibly have and doing whatever that they need to
help them build a sense of independence in our life.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
No, yeah, I agree with you. You know what I
was like, do you think I saw something? And it
made me realize that a lot of people are couples
well when they have kids, they just don't take care
of their relationship. And I was like, I think we
did differently. We do love our kids and they are
the most important in our life. But the thing that
(29:48):
I feel with it right or I'm proud of how
like we handled this whole thing is because we did
put our relationship first. Yeah. Yeah, I'll do anything for
my kids, but I feel like if our relationship is
not good, our kids won't have a good life or
(30:09):
you know, or the happiness that in a household should be.
We wouldn't have that because our relationship is just like
a roller coaster. And I do feel like we do
prioritize to have that in the right in the right place,
so then we can be there for our kids whenever
they need. I agree. What is the hardest thing about
(30:32):
being a parent that you didn't see coming?
Speaker 2 (30:36):
I think the hardest thing about being a parent that
like you don't know it until you're in it.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
It's like.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
You're always on, like you're always in in mom mode.
And I mean our kids are a little bit easier
now because they're foreign too, but like.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
It's not easy, I know.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
But like think about when we didn't you know, like
Ruby subdue the night at a pretty young age, but
Taale was was a lot harder. But like even when
we went in Seattle when Ruby was just born, and
it was like she had a fever and we went
to the er in the middle of the night and
I had a game against La like twelve hours later
(31:22):
or something like that, and it's like you told me
to go home, Like she kicked me out, she made
me leave because she was like, you need to go
rest and you need to go do these things. But
I wanted to be there for you. Wanted to be
there for Ruby, and like just knowing, like obviously I
trust you to be able to handle all things and
vice versa. But it's hard when like big moments like that,
(31:46):
good or bad, you can't always be.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
At Yeah, I mean I'm knowing that position, but I
got it. I remember being sad about that, and then
I was like at home and I was knocked out
because see, you have a game. You know what what
is harder? Uh, a dabble dabbling the dable NBA or
a full day of solo parenting?
Speaker 2 (32:09):
What a full day of solo parenting.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
We've been four days with no nanny, so he's been
a little bit sick. You know, he's sick.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Yeah, a full day of solo parenting because like when
where was I just recently with the kids, probably when
I was sick. You were sick, and we were in
Madrid and we were just like going around and we
were in court and Glaze, which is like a department store, right,
so it has all types of toys and stuff like that,
(32:42):
and Ruby was going one direction and Tayo was going
another direction, and neither one of them listen, but specifically
Tayo does not listen right now, like the two the
twos do not listen, and like just trying to to
kind of put a grasp, like get a hold of them.
(33:03):
And I think, especially soul parenting, when you're not home,
it's hard. Like if you're home, you're like, Okay, come on,
let's go outside, let's go to our normal park, let's
go upstairs, let's let's do all those things.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
But when you're you're.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Not in your normal element, it's a little bit more tricky.
And the double double double double just takes effort, you know,
go get those rebounds, run the floor, put backs.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Wow, well I probably never had a double double, so
probably m hmm. I don't know those those days since
you were in Miami and hour and any work Monday
through Friday and the weekends. I was by myself Monday
morning when I dropped the kids to school, and I
(33:49):
could have an hour of quietness in this house. I
enjoyed my warm coffee for like an hour. I didn't
talk to anybody, I didn't hear any screams, and that
was the best I want the pet peeve? Oh, what
was the question? It's not on that you need to
ask me what's my what's my pet peeve of yours?
(34:12):
What's my what's your pet peeve of mine? Yeah? Ok,
the question that you want me to ask you is
what's the pet peeve of mine?
Speaker 2 (34:21):
My pet peeve of Marta? Parenting Marta is that I
don't want the kids sleep in my bed. I don't
want to kids sleeping in our bed, like because it's
not comfortable. It's not comfortable for me. I never enjoyed
my kids sleeping in my bed. And Marta, when she's
(34:42):
tired or Ruby, because she knows how to play the game,
will come to MARTA's side and go pee or whatever,
and instead of just like going back to her room,
Martha just slides over and then all of a sudden,
it's a lot tighter on me, and somebody's in the middle,
and but he's on the other end.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
So that really drives me nuts. I have to say,
I don't like the kids sleeping in our bed either.
When it's the both of us, I don't want them.
Usually it's four am when she comes in and I
still don't want it. I know, but I was like,
my most precious hours of sleep. You'll be all right, say,
but when I'm by myself, Yeah, sometimes I want to
sleep at Ruby. I don't know, yep, and the same
(35:25):
like she lets Ruby stay up and then the next
day they're both miserable because they all sleep back. No,
Ruby's better than tail Tale. It's like you wake up
in the middle of the night, sit up, and then
like see your chairs and be like, yeah, that's what
he's really rough. Okay.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
The last question from this kind of segment while we
wrap up the kids is obviously we have the means,
you know, the ability to get our kids everything that
they need, but how would you say, like, how do
(36:04):
we balance it from getting them what they need versus
spoiling them and buying too much.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
I mean, I think it's hard, but I do think
we try Ruby, especially because she understands what that means.
We try to donate. We do clean the toys. Like
recently I went with her and I was like, Okay,
(36:33):
you have so many stuffed animals. We're going to donate
some because there are some kids that need it and
want them and they cannot they don't have money to
like get them. So I mean they are aware that
for them it's easy to get it. But at the
same time, I think we try to make them understand
that other kids don't have it so we can share.
(36:58):
And I think she's aware sometimes when I put things aside,
it's like, oh, we're going to donate them. Yeah, but
I mean it's it's tough. But like sometimes we just
go to the store and like, there's no toys. I'm
not getting toys every time I go to the store.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
Yeah, I mean, I think it's it's like having a
good balance, Like we don't want to get our kids
toys every.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Time we walk in, you know, they ask for and
I'm like, no, like you're not.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
You're not getting something every time we go somewhere, because
then that would just be insane. But I think also
we want to make sure that if we have like
the ability, I'd rather make sure we're putting things aside
in their their college.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
Fund or.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
That type of situation where it'll grow over time. Like
our kids, well, we make sure that they have everything
that they need, but we don't want to be over
the top because I want them to be like humble
and grounded too, And you don't kids only much to
be happy.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
No, I mean no, they play with the same toys. Yeah,
just give tails some cars, and Ruby these days is
like unicorns. So the more they have is the less
they play with, honestly, And that's really it. And we
still have way too many toys that we want to
keep getting rid of and donating, but our kids know
(38:22):
this one certain things are gone, so we have to
try to do it subtly. Yeah. I mean the other
day I put toys apart on the side and then
all of the side and Ruby's asking for that toy
and I was like, you haven't touched that toy in months,
and now you want to grab it.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Yeah. So we could talk all day about this one.
So time for one more break. Next up we go
rapid Fire and Martin gives her parents corner advice. We're
(38:59):
back wrapping up with some rapid fire and hopefully you
have your parents corner lives. Okay, all right, so I
think we're just gonna go really quick.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
What do you mean you have who's more competitive? You?
Speaker 2 (39:17):
Me?
Speaker 1 (39:18):
Boom, one point for me. Who's right most of the time? Me? No,
you either, I'm not. I am right most of the time.
Why not? So why not me?
Speaker 2 (39:30):
Because you don't read the instructions ever. You just put
stuff together and don't look at the instructions, and then
it's always messed up.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
This is not about pulling the thing together. It's at
who is right doing structure paper? Who's the better cook? Both? Yeah,
it's different. I don't cook that much. She bakes and
I cool? Yeah? Who takes longer to get ready? I
knew that I was coming. I will shower, makeup, hair,
(39:58):
and she's still like doing her don't rush, greatness, I'm
not rushing you. We just gotta go. Who is more
likely to forget something important? You like what? I don't know.
Probably you's on my calendar. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
I don't think either one of us is forgetful. Even
though I lost my rings, I did not forget them.
I lost them and I just don't know where they went.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
Yeah, I also lost the backpack on the plane. Two
things in a month. Do you want me to think
about the things that you forgot? Just okay?
Speaker 2 (40:45):
What special piece of paper did you not bring?
Speaker 1 (40:51):
It was in my wallet. It was broken, but it
was there. Who picks the shows to watch on TV?
At night?
Speaker 2 (41:00):
You?
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Because I fall asleep. She's the worst I'm tired. Same, Well,
that's your problem. I just closed my eyes.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
I were watching the show, watching a movie, and she
falls sleep. She waits them and she's like, tell you
what happened? And I literally hate that because I'm like,
if you wanted to know, you should just watch it.
Speaker 1 (41:18):
I just can't keep my eyes open. Who's the stricter parent? Me? Okay?
I have now? Can I talk? Thank you? So when
I'm by myself, it's me because it's like there's no
the only one. What the well? But I still need
to like do it? She I am. I am a
strict too, but she takes it way more serious than
(41:41):
I do. I just can't put the kids in like
a time out for like ten minutes. After two they
can come out. She will just live them there.
Speaker 2 (41:48):
If they did something to deserve that, yeah, I'm gonna
put that. But also just tell them no. I tell
them no, I'm stricter than you, right, I didn't. I
go to the toy sto and by Unicorn Academy and
Hot Wheels?
Speaker 1 (42:04):
Do we need to go in Amazon or wherever? Whenever
we come down to Miami? How many toys do you
buy them all the time? I didn't see my kids. Yeah, yeah,
so I want so they're happy to see you. They
don't need toys. I think I win that one.
Speaker 2 (42:20):
Who gets called for help more mommy, mommy, Yeah you
have another night.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
I want to know why tell them? Well? So Ruby
always came to my side, and you know, mommy is
the favorite. So one day I was really mad because
you know, mommy, mommy, mommy, and I'm like, I'm the
one that's here all the time. So I took that personally.
(42:54):
So I was like, you know what, Ruby, if mommy
is your favorite, and I go to her site. So
the next half or many months, it wasn't months she
was coming to my side.
Speaker 2 (43:04):
It wasn't month, and she wasn't sleeping in the bed.
Speaker 1 (43:09):
It wasn't months. It was a few days. It was
not days. That is such a lie. Days okay, two
weeks probably, thank you. And then I realized it was
like during the season and she was just waking her up.
So then I felt bad, and then I was like,
you can come to my side. Now, just suck her.
(43:34):
Who's more likely to give in me? Yeah, yeah, that's right.
I just have that soft spot. Sometimes no no means no,
And now what they do is Ruby goes to me
and I say no, and then she goes to Marta
and I'm like, did you not just hear me say no? Oh?
(43:57):
She needs to try.
Speaker 2 (43:57):
She's like you, all right, this is now usually I
do this. This is the end part of the show,
and it's my parent corner.
Speaker 1 (44:07):
So now don't you think I hear to your podcast? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (44:10):
I know she listens. She listens and she rates and
reviews and subscribes to my podcast. Yeah, but now it's
your return. Okay, So what advice would you give to
the audience about being apparent to two kids under four?
Speaker 1 (44:26):
My advice will be be organized. I mean I think
you just have to be ready for wherever it can
come up. But for me, what works, especially when not
by myself, and like I have the mornings to like
bring them to school, like have everything ready for next morning,
(44:48):
so the morning goes kind of smooth. It's never smooth,
but like organized in a way where it's like, okay,
they're lunchbox, they're backpacks wherever. And also I don't know,
by patience whenever you find it.
Speaker 2 (45:03):
And have a lot of snacks. Yeah, but like I
don't know, sometimes we'll like yeah, very picky. Okay, what
are you most proud of and what we built together?
I would say seeing their personalities. I think I see
(45:24):
them and they're like.
Speaker 1 (45:27):
Two strong, independent kids, but also you know, they're strong
and independent, but at the same time, they're kind Like
from what we hear from the teacher, especially from Ruby's class,
she wants to help people, and I think, like, you know,
we we make sure she understands that sometimes other kids
(45:51):
need help, and and I think it's like kind of like, yeah,
I think that makes us feel good now, like we're
doing something right. But also, you know what, what now
that I've been traveling, people have been saying that they're
like very educated, like they're like they're no wild kids.
(46:17):
They listen and I'm like, you don't know my kids
that they behave good on the plane, like everywhere. Like
I feel like we can take them mostly everywhere because
they're like they know how to be in places. No,
they're they're they're they're good. Yes, last, but not least.
(46:40):
What does the next chapter look like? For us? I
know you tell me.
Speaker 2 (46:47):
So you have for us this season season about me
no wedding ring, m Yeah, the next chapter for us?
I think we're gonna have a great summer, great season.
Uh get we'll be ready for kindergarten. That's crazy. And
(47:14):

we can be from on the basketball court to off
the court, and like also in the house and making
