Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is, he said a vijo with Eric Winter and
Rosalind Fantev. Good morning, he said, from yet another new location,
same boring wall. Though it's okay, very soon, it's going
to look fabulous. Good morning. What was We didn't even
agree on the backdrop for the newborn wall this morning
(00:22):
because we have a giant picture of our kids that's
like literally it's almost like human size. It's it's like
life size. It's pretty bonkersborn and was a backdrop and
I don't like people who have loved it. I know,
but it's like kind of just like a giant baby
off your shoulder the entire podcast. Baby, I know, but
it was we couldn't even agree on that this morning.
(00:42):
That was a rough start to the podcast. I'm not
speaking a lot today. Why because your stomach, Because people
with my stomach is really bad. Because people, Um, there's
a lot of women, a lot of fans that love
Mr Eric Winter Bradford and they think that I don't
let you speak, that I interrupt you all the time,
that I'm annoyingly, I don't love you anymore. We will
(01:05):
never survive. Are you making this up? I'm unbearable? Are
you making this up? I'm not where are you finding
this doing your research with their comments on our he said, Instagram.
You haven't seen it on the Instagram page. So go ahead.
It's all you today. I'm not going to open my mouth.
(01:29):
That's gonna be a boring podcast because it is going
to be right. When you open your mouth, that's when
I think it's funny it happens. I think it's great
because I have a voice, but I guess I'm a
little too vocal. So thank you to my protective fans
and listeners. I appreciate all your support. We'll call it
the Bradford Mafia. Thank you so much, the brad for Mafia.
Oh my god, well they're they're rour there, unch, bunch.
(01:58):
I don't know what broccoli nothing. I don't know you've
got nothing. Um So that's nobut what. I'm going to
be kind of quiet today. I'm gonna let you um
but you already have something you want to say, No,
I want you to talk about about. I know we've
(02:19):
we've been covering this topic a lot, but you know
it's been our lives about tennis, parents about tennis. So guys,
Mr Bradford here got into a fist fight well I didn't.
I mean I was keeping my cool and you were
very proud of me, you said, because normally I would
have lost my cool. UM speak, I speak superroud, super
(02:40):
proud of our daughters. Yet a great her first time,
she won a championship at her new level level six
tennis tournament, which is a huge accomplishment, um which was
that was her first match of the of the day
was a delayed finals from a previous tournament the weekend before.
So they was starting off wonderful. Then she went and
played her first doubles match with her good friend from
her tennis academy and in her very first match the
(03:04):
So this we've talked about this before, the ridiculous part
about this tennis for kids that you can't speak as
parents and not allowed to coach, which I understand, But
then you get these kids that just make, whether it's
on purpose or on accident, bad calls or make big
mistakes out there which could cost your child or their
team the complete game or match. And Roslin's obviously not quiet,
(03:24):
as you've all established. And one kid made a bad
call on our team and said the ball was out
when it was clearly in and Rosalind got very vocal
and said that, uh, that ball was that ball was
in and said it loud enough and judge, you know
a Lions person who walked over to watch. But whoever
makes the call, the call stands. So I was the
first incident that made the other parents of the team
(03:46):
a little annoyed because she got involved and said that
it got in their kids head. And the guy said,
you know, it's better for the parents don't get involved,
which I don't think it happened because the kids didn't
even look at me, and the kids keep playing perfectly
and they knew it was they And by the way,
parents was all the time. It happened in our last
in the tournament. That said he just played in the show.
In the finals, she made a call and the other
dad said that was in really loud, and we didn't care.
(04:08):
We didn't comment if Sebby made a bad call. Seby
ended up reversing the call and they redid the point
so and Sebby did it before and actually gave a
girl the point back, so we don't get involved. If
the parents says something like that, I'm not mad at him. Anyways,
this parent wasn't happy. Then cut to the parents players.
The other team called the score incorrectly lost the point,
(04:29):
which that would have actually won the game for Sabella
and her partner, but they called the scoring correctly, and
our girls were talking as strategizing as teammates, and because
they didn't pay attention to the score, because they were
talking and the girl barely spoke, they ended up losing
that game. They won the match, but they lost that game.
And we were like, they called the wrong score, and
the Lions person was like, I thought so too, but
didn't even correct him, didn't try and teach these ten
(04:49):
and eleven year old kids what to do. And the
parents heard us saying, pay attention to the score. And
at the end of the game, this dad we we
said a good game to the girls, and the dad
walked over and said, yeah, thank but it's much better
if the parents don't get involved with a huge attitude.
And I'm sorry what I said. You said that the
parents don't coach, and I said, we weren't coaching, we
were trying to. I said, I'm not coaching, I'm encouraging.
We're cheering our news. I have no problem with you
(05:12):
guys clapping and cheering, but you guys are getting involved
in it. And I said, look, you're not wrong, You're
not exactly If I'm not wrong, I said, but if
these scores are being called incorrectly completely, And it's basically
I've seen parents do this time and time again at
many many tournaments. It happens all the time. It's not
that big of a deal. However, you're not wrong. We're
(05:32):
not supposed to get involved, but it's hard when you
see calls that blatantly swing the match entirely. And this
guy got so mad because I guess how calm I
was being and by saying he wasn't wrong, but I
was also making another point that he started puffing up, posturing,
getting in my face, and to the point that I
was like, Okay, this guy is gonna throw a punch,
(05:53):
get ready, Like I was bracing myself to figure out
what was gonna happen next, in front of all his kids,
in front of our kids, in front of everybody at
the tournament. And then to the point that his friend
had to grab him and start pulling him away as
the guy huffed and puffed all the way to his car.
That's the first time that's ever happened to us. Yeah,
And you know what's said, Eric, And it's crazy because
(06:14):
a Bella came from winning their level six singles. It
was such a high, it was such a big accomplishment.
Then we go to a different location for her first
doubles match. She wins, and that incident ruined the whole thing.
And she won. By the way, they won their first
doubles tournament, they won, took the first. They came back
in in the finals match against a very tough team.
They were down to zero, they came back all the
(06:35):
way to win six two. They fought, they didn't they
don't cheat. They played good tennis. And these parents were
annoying and so full of themselves. You know, it's so
deflating because again we couldn't really savor and enjoy the winds,
you know, on the big accomplishment. And she played so well,
and she played her heart out, you know, because we
(06:56):
were so shocked and stressed out and so annoyed. And listen,
I understand, I'm allowed. I know that parents shouldn't be involved.
I just have a problem with the culture of tennis
that you're not allowed to be you. You're not allowed
to wait. I don't want to interrupt, I'm agreeing with you.
Thank you so much. Um It's it's annoying. It's it
(07:18):
goes against the spirit of sports. It's like I want
to encourage my kids ten she just turned ten years old.
If I want to encourage her and said come on go,
they get so annoyed and it's sad. You don't do
it during a point we're quiet, of course not don't
we do it? Just like in the Pros. After a
(07:39):
point ends, everybody cheers, everybody collapse, people go crazy. In
the Pros, they take they they take them themselves so
seriously and it's so oh my god, Eric, like I
I encourage every single girl, even when Sabella is losing
the game. If the girl is doing a point and
it's a fantastic play, we always say, wow, that was great,
and we clapped the other girl to the point that's
(08:01):
feet like it's annoyed and stop cheering for her because
she gets in her head because you know what, we're
good people. And it's like, I love talent. I love
girls that are doing their best. So if my girl
is doing well, while I'm going to celebrate it. If
your girl is doing well and it's whipping her as
I'm going to celebrate it. It's like, I don't understand,
and you know what I think of the time Sabella
is playing well, not once a parent comes over to
(08:24):
to say something. When we're always at the end of
each game, we go to the girl gret Gray match.
You're so talented, Oh my god, you're so great. How
old are you? We're always trying to encourage all these
girls and and the parents get annoyed and it makes
me want to scream. It's like I don't want to
I can't keep going anymore because I feel like I
have to do just sit down and act like somebody
that I'm not when I'm basically cheering my daughter well.
(08:46):
And the in the nonsense is these kids, like we said,
these kids are turning eleven, and their whole point is
we have to teach these kids what it's like to
win the loose, to face you know different, you know,
adversity and push through. Yeah, but you also are forcing
them to keep track of their own score, which is
fine in but to call balls in and out so
a player can just cheat all day long, and they do,
they do, And that's supposed to teach my kid how
(09:06):
to be better, better athlete. I don't know whatever. We
can go in it, run about this for thirty minutes.
It's said about it. So you know all these powers
that are rude, and I'm so insecure and you're just stupid.
F you you're ruining my experience. I'm kidding. Actually I'm kidding.
I'm kidding. And I bet you they think that about
you and about us, that we are ruining their experience.
It's possible. It's possible. It's not possible, it's it's accurate.
(09:30):
And they can't stand us, two actors full of themselves
that come here with the cute girl that is kicking booty.
They hate us, they hate us. Yeah. We see other
parents cheering their kids and then some I don't know
how they do it, and I love it in silence
and silence with this phase of annoyance, and the girls
look petrified and I just go, oh my god, I
(09:52):
love cheering all of them. Before we let's let's talk
about a couple of a couple of hot topics. But
also there was something interesting from our uh the funniest
tweets about married life. I want to talk about that,
but I thought, I'm so confused. Some didn't somebody just
(10:14):
tell us recently that she Lene Woodley I think it's
her name, and Aaron Rodgers were separated, that they're no
longer engaged. But then this is saying that they are engaged,
Are they or aren't they? So well, apparently, let's assume
they are. What happens, Well, I'm just curious if you know,
this wouldn't even matter. But apparently they agree to disagree
(10:35):
about things and not debate them politics, Like, um, let's
see what else they agree to disagree on. I think
politics is probably the big one for the most part.
That they don't see why she's Democrat and he's a Republican.
I have no idea. But do you think that we
can agree to disagree and just move on and not
(10:56):
debate anything? No? Really, I don't think so. I mean
I can because again, like we taught, your argument style
is what does it? Walk away close? What is it you?
I don't remember? Ignore your perfectly. I let's agree to disagree.
But bye. You're like, but wait, wait, no, wait, but wait,
(11:18):
but the typical man in our marriage, and I'm more
like the woman. I like to talk to you with
the woman. That's what all our friends said. You're the girl.
I'm one the deals with all the moms, Like, you
know what, guys, is this really funny? So, Sabella, there's
a chain of moms at school and even chain of
mom's at her close friends not from school, and I'm
not part of the chain. Is Eric, Eric, and the
mom's you're the soccer mom. It's awesome, It's awesome. It's
(11:40):
really funny. I find it awkward. I'm like, I'm the
one texting all of these moms. I hope their husbands
are cool with it, but I mean, I'm the one
that has to deal with it all they love you,
I'm cool with all. Like the tennis dad's, I'm dealing
with the mom love you. I'm dealing with the mom
with tennis partners too. I deal with mom's proms. Their
mom the sucker mom, talker mom is great. So we
can never gree to disagree and just walk away. I
(12:01):
guess you think that that works in a relationship. You
think it just shelves things, You think it just build it.
It depends if it depends on the on the person.
You know, some people might be able to just walk
away and be content and and and truly agree to
disagree and not make it a big deal, and some
people would just like, um, just hide, put it under
the rock and do a little check mark, and then
when all the check marks accumulate, you expect. But I'll
(12:24):
say that I'm like this. Air Aaron basically has said
that she Len is a person who um essentially whose
mind you cannot change, and so he's figured I might
will not even try, just have to accept here she is.
I think that we do that. That's a I gave
up on trying to change you. I don't change you,
and what do you want to change me in the
first one? That's my point. I don't I mean, if
we if we disagree on something, I'm not gonna sit
(12:44):
there and be like, I'm gonna just work so hard
to change your opinion. I've just learned to just go whatever.
It's rosalind, Okay, good, don't you think so? I think
maybe we do do this. I'm not speaking, You've been
speaking this entire time, so let me be quiet. Then.
Uh all right, well, anyways, let's talk about I think
this is kind of funny. Eight of the funniest tweets
(13:05):
about married life, which are the blow can you relate
to in your own marriage? I'm the kind of wife
who will help my husband look for his chocolate that
I ate. I'm the kind of wife who will help
my husband look for his chocolate that I ate, knowing
that I ate it, and I'm still doing the whole
tarrade of looking for it even though I know I
ate it. What are you that person? I think you are? No,
(13:29):
I'm not. I think we both If I take your
here's what's funny. I usually don't touch Rosalind's things because
even like she has a bottle of water that she's
trying to finish over the next three days, let's say,
and if I take a sip out of it, she says,
did you drink my water? That you know how difficult
it is for me to drink water. So when I
have a bottle of water, it is a big accompliment,
I know, but I need to know that I'm doing it,
(13:50):
like I need to know where I left it the
last time I took a sip. Or if she has
a treat in the fridge, I say, hey, can I
connamb but bite of that whatever you bought? And she was, no,
that's my snack. It's all I have today. I won't
share it. But if I have something, I don't touch it. Nonsense,
you've you've taken things out of my lunches that are packed,
or the delivery service or yes you doptimes and then
(14:13):
you can I have your lunch? Could I have this? Please? Please? Please?
Don't have anything else? Can I have it? Okay? Next line,
we not agreed on that. We don't agree, but let's
agree to this. But I don't think we're that wife,
no Eli. My mother in law's business right now, and
every time my husband leaves the room, she starts rapidly
telling me embarrassing stories about him. That's neither of us, guys.
(14:34):
I need your help. In the middle of an argument
my wife with my wife, she said, I'm right. What
the hell do I do? I have no idea? Due
thank you so much. You've never said I'm right once
in a while in sixteen years, not even once a year.
So maybe you know what, Maybe you should do a
(14:55):
study and yourself. Maybe you're never You're never right, no right,
quite often, even like Arnanny, that's what I telled me,
always says that's one of our jokes. She's like, Eric,
you're right again. Time Damby, I'm gonna call tell me
what she is actually here. Damn it just made a
great death. It's true, she she says, I'm right all
(15:16):
the time. Tell me quick question. How many times have
you said in front of ros and Eric? I guess
you're right again. I've never seen you do that. Come
over here all the time. She was to be on camera,
but I gotta let me get away. Yes or no?
Have you Mama, DA's right here? Okay, Um, you put
(15:41):
me in in this situation. But sometimes yes sometimes Eric
is right? Never no, sometimes but not always Yeah, no, no, right?
Right about what? Am I right? More than no? She
(16:07):
is pleading the fifth all right, thank you. That definitely
wasn't accurate. She's just embarrassed and didn't want to tell
the truth. Now she's now she's walking to go and Eric,
you're right all the time. She's never going to that
most of the time, right, She want to God, all right,
Well that didn't work the way I thought. But I
know it's the truth because it's maybe maybe she tells
(16:29):
you what you want to hear, and she tells me
what I want to hear. Um, my wife, don't look
at your phone while you're driving. Also, my wife, when
I'm driving, what do you think about these colored blankets
showing you pictures while you're driving. Well, that doesn't really plan.
My husband and I are still married because after he
loads the dishwash, he calls me to optimize it. That's
that's doesn't matter. Mary is basically just repeating the same
(16:52):
series of questions over and over again until one of
you dies. What are you doing? Why are you doing that?
Can you please stop? That's that's accurate. That is probably
pretty accurate. I think you've said those three things to me.
Are you doing? What are you doing? All the time?
You say that, what are you doing? What are you
doing that all the time? May please stop? Yeah? Yeah,
that was accurate. Mark, well done. My husband wants a
(17:14):
bowling ball for its birthday. I can wait to store
it with the golf clubs, the surfboard, and mountain bike
and twelve other things he asked me for. I never
used It's not me. Yeah, that can really I don't
have any of those. Remember when you had the whole
thing golf that you're gonna play golf and you didn't.
I never used it. I was going golfing almost every day,
and the fever lasted five months. No, I lasted for
(17:34):
a good year lasted until he had Sabella, that I I
hadn't played golf as much at all because I was
just was taking too much time. It's not true. My
husband's friend returned to jumper jumper cables he borrowed and
my husband set them down on the front on the
floor in the front door. It's been six weeks ago.
Now they're part of the decor. If what eric if
I wasn't living here, Like listen, guys, the other I
(17:57):
came from Puerto Rico and there was a dent. Walking
in you walk in, right is the first thing you
see on the left wall under the painting we have
some art, there was like a dent on the wall.
So for a whole week, I'm walking in and it
was really really bugging me. I'm going, I don't understand
why he hasn't seen that. So I said to you,
you need to call you a year. Your ears are
handyman that we love that he's here all the time,
(18:17):
and as you need to call you a year because
we need to fix that wall. There's a dent where
right at the entrance when you walk in is the
first thing you see and you didn't see it for
four months okay, you're like, oh my god, on the
wall has nothing to do with me walking in and
dropping my stuff, and you will drop and leave it
there for for a whole year. And I don't think.
(18:37):
I don't think the Bradford Mafia believes you. Well, the
Rourke bunch is going to agree with me. Bunch don't
agree with their name. I don't even like the title
you gave him, like a rock bunch. What wor that
sounds like a STD at the Grupeto When I went
(19:06):
to the Caribbean, I got the grupo itches sounds anyways,
I'm not speaking terrible name. I think. I think we're
down here to say goodbye to you to your friends.
I'm not gonna say anything say goodbye. Listen, Bradford Mafia,
good looking out. I'm gonna need you at the next
tennis tournament. I'm gonna probably need you in our household
(19:28):
to mediate situations. Stay real. Why you shout out to
your word group. I appreciate your support. Thank you so
much for understanding a woman. A woman and what she
goes through to keep a marriage together and in place,
(19:48):
and a mom and a working mom. So thank you.
