Of all people? I don't.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
I do what I'm told. Yeah, Like I like my paycheck,
I have kids to feed.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
And I feel like as of late they told us
more specifically, like not to do it as probably as
we used to.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
It kind of went back and forth where there was
a time period, but they were like, obviously people are
going to know you're out because of social media and everything.
Then it reverted back to pretend you're not out.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yeah, which is so stupid because if you tune in
then you can tell.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Yeah, obviously that guy didn't. He's upset. I'm calling this
the fake station Jesus. So there's other ones that are
way worse.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Yes, what do you prefer us tell him that we're
going to be off, because I know he would complain
about what.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Yeah, whoever you are, go ahead and lead me another
talk back. Give me your email. I can give you
my next few vacations. That way, you're on the up ANDEP.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yeah, since we're there, I mean, I have four weeks
left to be off this entire year.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Yeah, i'd assume you're gonna utilize those.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I'm gonna utilize one in July, one in August, and
I believe to at the end of the year.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Yeah. I don't want to say it, but somebody is
headed to Jamaica sometime sometime. Anyway, I was out Thursday
and Friday, and then obviously we all head off yesterday.
But I went back to my hometown of Collingswood, New Jersey.
My first stop obviously to a wah wah, my old
(01:58):
stomping grounds.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
I was so happy to be there.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
You know, it's so crazy being back in collings was
because the town itself has really changed. It's almost a
little bit bougie now. It's like earthy, crunchy. It's different
from when I lived there, very different.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
How long has it been since you've been back.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
I'm trying to think of that.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
I went back a few years ago for a wedding
and I stopped by just to like kind of see
the town and say what's up. And even then I
could tell. But the big change came in twenty twenty.
A lot of people from Philly moved over and I
went to get coffee at one of the coffee shops
and the woman basically told me that because I couldn't
(02:42):
believe the coffee shop it was like very earthy, crunchy,
just not the Callings would like, blue collar middle class
that I grew up in.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
It was just it's fancy now.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
And the woman told me, She's like, yeah, in twenty twenty,
I just had to get out of the city. So
I moved here from Philly, and I thought Collings were
just doesn't have my things, Like I need my things,
and I need all my things right with me, like
right here. So I opened this store so I could
have all my things, Like I need my coffee beans,
and I need my sandwich things, and I need my things.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
So I have this store now because I just.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Needed my things. I'm like, where am I? What is
going on? What is this place, And all my girlfriends
were like, we tried to tell you know now, and
you know, it kind of happened to Southe too, like
it's it's different for the fireman in Southee now from
when he grew up.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
And it's so funny because he used to say this
to me and I'd.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Be like, oh, it's fine, Like they have Lincoln now,
we have the best pizza, the fruity pebble pancakes, like
it's great. And at one point we're walking on had Nab,
which is the main you know, like street through my
town of Collingswood, and I looked at him and I'm like,
this is a lot.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
He goes, oh, do.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
You understand what I'm trying to tell I'm trying to
tell you now when I have these conversations with you.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
I was like, yeah, I get it now. But it
was nice.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I mean, it's always nice to be back, and I
don't I can't hear it now. But let me tell
you something. As soon as I get back, I feel
like my accent out yeah oh yeah, but then it
then it goes back away and comes. But I was, hey,
trust me, other people were saying water, so I was
in good company.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
I don't have that feeling when I go back to
Salem because Salem, for me, when I was younger, has
always been like a city surrounded by tourism. So it's
always been that it looks different, but the tourists always
there and it's always centered around one specific stance. So true. Yeah,
so for me, it's never it's it like, hasn't been that.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah, I mean even the fireman was like you could
still see that. He's like you could tell it has
good bones. But yeah, it's very like fancy.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Now, yeah, did you run into anybody you went to school?
Speaker 3 (04:46):
My coffee was like twelve dollars or something crazy, Like
really what it's crazy?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
I know it was a nitro coldblo for twelve dollars.
I better be awake all day and the next day.
But yeah, I went out there, you know, just kind
of checking in on the town and we stayed at
we got an airbnb and Cherry Hill, which is the
next town over, went out in Cherry Hill for Valentine's
Day dinner.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Fireman and I got in a fight. I don't know
if you guys saw the coat.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
I saw the coat, Yes, I saw somebody comments on
the coat.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yeah we got in a Yeah, bitch, we got in
a fight because the coat took up half the suitcase,
like really did. But I just when am I going
to wear a hot pink and red coat other than Valentine'sday.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
It's like the perfect time.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
But we went out to this like super super super Italian.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Gave very new jersey.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
It kind of was giving Sopranos to me for Valentine's Day.
Then we had the big day, We had the big game,
and post game, we went out to a local bar
called Mulligan's. It used to be Merrifield's back in the day.
But everybody was there so it was so nice to
kind of catch up. My brother came, my dad came,
my brother's girlfriend was there, the fireman, and then all
(05:55):
my high school friends and all my teammates, people that
I hadn't seen in years.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
And let me tell you something, I was peacocking in there. Okay,
feathers were.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
People, Ashley, we haven't seen you. So I wasn't even
talking to my family. My family meant nothing to me
because they they weren't you know what in my you
know what, Like everybody else was okay.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
So at one point.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I'm walking back to my table to go see the fireman.
I hadn't seen him in like an hour, and I
heard someone say that's Ashley felt then she's the queen
of callings.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Oh oh, I don't want to repeat it, but yeah, dude,
I'd said it was a moment in time for me.
I felt like I was. It was blast from.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
The past, and you were drunk.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
This whole thing happened, hammered.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
I told myself only one red bulvodka. Five later. I
did switch, but.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
I was taking shots. I was doing shots to Jack. Honey.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Remember I hadn't really drink like that in a while.
I drank, but not like that, calling like she was
gone like the winds.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
I got to imagine you said some craziness of some
ex classmates or something like that.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Well, no, I would never. I would never. But one
thing I did do, Yeah, my daughter, yeah, we know that.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
One thing I did do is one of my old
teachers was there, mister McConnell.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Always hot. Hey was hot when he was teaching us,
still hot now.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
And I'm sitting there talking to my best friend Emily,
and I said, is that Jack? Is that mister McConnell,
And she goes, yeah, he's here, the fireman. I said,
you could go. It was so light to see mister McConnell.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
I went right over to him. I said, you look
the same, and he goes, so do you. I go,
I'm growing up now. Yeah, I'm bad, honey, I'm growing
up now.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
But no, it was cool. I mean half the teachers
were there that that taught me. My English teacher was there,
like just so many people. Because my high school coach,
I mean thirty three years she had. She's an icon
for Seul Jersey women's basketball and everybody knows her and
everybody loves her. She was so surprised and so happy
that I was there. She left me a voicemail last
night just being like it meant the world to me.
(08:04):
And I'm appreciative of the voicemail, but it's like that
should have been mentioned in your speech. It's I'm gonna
let it go at some point, maybe when you reimburse
my flights. But it was just an awesome I'm so
glad we went. It was a lot to travel with
both kids, but it really does like again, basketball was
my life. So going back to that high school, I remember,
(08:27):
you know, I think it was my sophomore year. I
mean I was also jersey. I think like starting my
sophomore year this way, when we had tryouts, there was
no question that I made the team.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
You know. I was like, I got off but I'm trying.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Sophomore year, Like it was no doubt I got offered.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
I got offered a full D one scholarship my sophomore year.
It's whatever, though it's not a huge DA but my
point is I remember being in that in that school
after tryouts, sprinting to the gym every single year all
the way up to my senior year to see my
name on that list that I had made the team.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Like it was a joke with with Nancy, she picked.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
What are you?
Speaker 3 (09:09):
What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Like you're so good?
Speaker 3 (09:11):
You know you're Oh why are you? Like you're the
captain of the team. Why are you?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
But I just you know, I worked really really hard,
and I had so many memories and that's cool, and
just being back in my high school again. And for
some people playing like who cares because you got maybe
you get to see your school all the time, Like
I don't.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
I see my school.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Maybe once every ten fifteen, you know, Like I don't
I don't go home like that. I don't think no,
And I think the next time I go home will
be I guess I'm a couple of years out, but
the Hall of Fame, which will be really cool because
you know, my family will come and hopefully my dad.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Will speak and it'll be yes. But yeah, I just
had a couple.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Of moments I was remembering things from from being in
there at certain times, like I was, it really took
me back.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I don't think I've been back to my high school
since I walked out the front yours. But going back
must be nostalgic. I must feel like it is almost
like emotion.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
You have reunions, we haven't. Yeah, they don't do reunions. No.
Somebody told me.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
We were talking about it at the bar, and somebody
told me that it's your high school president, of that
of your year's job to set up the reunion.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Talk to them to kind of organize one. Why leave
it to them, though, if you want when I would
just start the conversation, I would start the conversation.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
With, well, we said that, but then we were like,
we don't want to be the ones in charge of having.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
To set it up.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I don't want to like, and I can't. From Boston.
I don't want that responsibility.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
But that's a whole another thing, going to your whole
and then being there with people and people start acting crazy.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
But it's still fun that I would be the people.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Yeah, I don't. I think you'd be shocked at the
ones who start acting like insane.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I started to get so drunk that I was saying
to my one high school team and I was like,
I'm about the Irish goodbye.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
She's like, Ashly, you can't. You cannot Irish goodbye, Irish bye,
just leave. You don't say nothing, just walk.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Just walk.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Yeah, you pretend you're going to the bathroom and to
never return. My girl. Ali was like, you can't do
that because you came here all the way for her,
Like you have to say bye. So I did, in
fact say ye, and then started being pictures. I'll have
to show you guys some of the pictures my old teammates.
But it was crazy.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Also, you were in that coach, so you can't really
sneak out like yo, that tall guards is walking out
with that jacket.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Mmmmm, No, it was it was a time. I was quick.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
It was way too quick and That's another thing I
feel like when I do go back to Jersey, it's
a blink of an eye, and I bet also think
about it. I was there during the Philadelphia Eagles parade,
so everything was just wild.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
But we all know you're going back for the Hall
of Fame. Like you, you have to get inducted first,
like pump your brakes.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I'm sorry, I didn't play D three softball. That's not
that's your eight year problem, not mine.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
But miss how I know you're listening. I love you.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Congratulations thirty three years.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Like I said, you are, you are an icon in
Jersey women's hoops. We love you.
