Help, I think my ADHD meds are working!

I thought, "I should edit this chapter of my fanfiction," and then I. Just sat down and did that.

I see something that needs done, like something lying on the floor, think, "I should pick that up," and then I just. Pick it up. Immediately.

I'm scared.

#adhd #is this how NT's operate #is this what it feels like when your brain just works #when it doesn't scream 'boring' at you all the time #and prevents you from doing even that smallest chores because it's not fun enough #wow #a whole new world

‘I’m not sure if these shoes fit’ You huffed as you stared at yourself in the mirror, your figure off-balance and doubt filled your chest. 

Hyunjin’s quiet voice soothed you:

 ‘I think you look beautiful in the heels, you just need to break them in’.

 He whispered into your ear, rubbing soothing circles into your shoulders. 

‘They’re still really tight, I think I need a size bigger’ you awkwardly hobbled to the bench, sitting down and starting to take them off. 

Hyunjin leaned down with a kind look in his eyes ‘Let me help you bunny’ and gently removed the heels from your feet, brushing soft strokes around the arch and heel. 

‘Omg, is that you?’ A high-pitched voice filled the corridor as you spotted someone from high school you went with, she was a former Queen B and had the sassiness and up-pitched condescending tone to match. 

You quickly stood up from the bench, clutching Hyunjin’s arm as the anxiety began to pool in your stomach. 

‘Hi, yeah it is me’ You responded with a quiet smile. 

‘Wow, look at you! You’ve glowed-up! Your new style and appearance really suits you’. 

The compliment sounded nice but the sarcastic remark in her tone didn’t. 

‘Thank you, you look good as well’ You chuckled awkwardly. 

‘Oh’ You lightly placed your hand on Hyunjin’s back.’

This is my boyfriend Hyunjin, me and her went to school together’. 

To which Hyunjin nodded ‘Oh, well. It’s nice to meet you’. 

The woman scanned Hyunjin up and down, admiring his beauty and being obvious in it. 

You could see her gaze avert to him and then back at you and it felt like she was critiquing you, thinking why Hyunjin was with you? 

‘Ahh, so you finally got your first boyfriend then?? Well, I’m so happy for you.’ She let out a fake chuckle, staring at Hyunjin ‘She never had any guys like her in high school’. 

Hyunjin’s face hardened at the comment and pulled  you further into his side:

‘Well, I guess that makes it even better for her, right?’ He leaned down to press a kiss to your temple.

 ‘Wouldn’t want to be with anyone else but her.’ 

The girl huffed before plastering on her fake face, ‘Okay. Well-I’m off. I work at the coffee shop downstairs, feel free to come say hello’ and she sauntered off, the back-handed compliments felt like an extra weight on your shoulders. 

‘What a fucking bitch’ Hyunjin sneered, his face scrunched up in disgust at the inter-action between you two. 

‘You know her comments aren’t true right?’ Hyunjin leaned down to look at you, noticing the sadness that had washed over your face. 

‘I know but it’s’ You exhaled a deep breath ‘It’s just so embarrassing’ You waved a hand over your hand, trying to hide your blushing cheeks. 

‘Come on, I have something to show you’ He quickly grabbed your hand and hurried you out of the shoe shop and pulled you into the nearest amenities bathroom, gently pushing you into the biggest cubicle. 

As the bathroom door shut, Hyunjin pressed you up against the door and started kissing you feverishly, his hands messing up your hair. 

‘Mommy needs to show how pretty my cute bunny’ he breathed out through kisses.

 ‘And I want to show that girl just how fucking hot you really are’. 

His kisses trailed down your neck, tongue trailing from ear-lobe to your collarbone and a sigh left your mouth, clutching onto the sides of his jacket. 

A slight jolt and whine left your body as Hyunjin started to suck harshly at your neck, ‘It’s been too long since I marked you baby, have to let everyone know you’re mine’. 

His fingers quickly undid the button on your jeans, pulling your panties with them down to your mid-thighs. 

‘Hyun..what?’ You questioned, letting out a loud exhale as Hyunjin’s expert fingers already started to rub circles into your clit, making it his entire mission to mark up your neck. 

‘Mommy wants to make you cum so she knows how pretty she is’ Hyunjin whispered as his teeth sucked into your neck, leaning down slightly as he slipped a finger into your wet cunt. 

‘Wow, my pretty bunny is so wet already. Maybe Mommy needs to fuck you in public more’ he taunted, adding it another finger which made you whine and hide your face in his shoulder, feeling Hyunjin’s hand petting your hair gently. 

‘If you want me to make you cum on my fingers, then I need you to do something for Mommy’ He softly told you, leaning down to press a chaste kiss to your mouth. 

‘I want you to tell me you’re Mommy’s pretty baby’ He started to pump his fingers more, them setting in the crook of your g-spot which was causing you to whine and squirm more. 

‘I’m M-Mommy’s pretty bunny’ You whimpered out, tucking your face into his neck as his fingers pumped out of you, the echo in the bathroom adding the squelching noises. 

‘Again’ Hyunjin softly demanded, his fingers speeding up and you could feel yourself peaking quickly. 

‘I’m Mommy’s pretty bunny’ you muffled into his shoulder, biting onto the fabric to prevent yourself from moaning more. 

‘Good girl, and you’re no one’s pretty bunny but mine. You’re only for Mommy’ and with a final hard push to your clit with his thumb, you spasmed against Hyunjin’s fingers, burying your face into his chest to hide your stifled moans. 

Hyunjin pulled his fingers out, seeing your cum glistening around them and his face darkened:

‘Do you want to lick them clean for Mommy?’ 

You nodded, immediately pulling his fingers towards you and swirling your tongue around them, loving the little sighs and moans you pulled from his throat. 

‘I don’t want you to doubt how pretty you are, she’s probably jealous because she doesn’t have what we have’. Hyunjin reaffirmed as he pulled your panties and jeans up, buttoning them up and making you look presentable. 

It was the risk of almost being caught when you walked into the cafe and saw the shocked turned scowling face at noticing your messy hair and huge marks on your neck, Hyunjin next to you with a huge smirk on his face.

Thank you so much @whatsk-poppinhomies for the request!

Chapter Title: Blonde Menace

A/N: Sorry it's taken so long for this chapter to come around. I've been doing a little 'eh' with my mental health because I'm stressed right now. Since last December I've been unemployed and I have nothing going on for me aside from a novel that I want to publish but I can't get anyone to be my beta/editor for it. It's honestly making me so stressed. Anyways, here is this chapter which means the next one is the last part for what I wrote back in before I decided to write it again. That also means I have to come up with more plots for this baby. I hope you guys enjoy a bit of this because we hate Sharon. NOT EMILY VANCAMP. Okay. Enjoy.

“Mom, umm, what are you doing here?” you asked with wide eyes as you tried your best for your body to not shake as your nerves rose and you felt bile trying to go up.

“Your father and I wanted to surprise you! Your birthday is coming up and we wanted to spend the days leading up to it with you. We couldn’t see you for the holidays, so here you have us here now!” your mother said with a bright smile as she clasped her hands in a manner that showed she was happy and proud of her decisions. Your father on the other hand could only shake his head as his wife did nothing but attract attention with her voice.

“Now, I didn’t raise my daughter with bad manners. How about you introduce your mother and me to your…friends,” said your father as he looked at the group of gaping people.

You shook your head slowly as you turned to face your friends who were nothing but blatantly showing their surprise.

“Uh, yeah. Umm…guys, these are my parents.” It was the only thing that could come out of your mouth and if anyone dared to look at you in the eyes they would see the slight fear that crossed them as the situation slowly settled in as well as your nerves which only allowed room for panic to settle.

“It is nice to make your acquaintance. My name is Steve Rogers,” he stood from where he had been sitting and shook your father’s hand as well as your mother's. Behind Steve, Bucky followed with an unsure smile yet it came off as a charming small grin as he shook your father’s hand and kissed your mother’s.

“James Barnes, pleased to meet you.”

From there it was quick introductions as everyone waited for their time. And as Wanda finished her introduction with a wide smile as her eyes screamed in panic along with you, the elevator doors opened, and every single person looked at the new arrival.

“Oh wow, hello everyone! I didn’t think everyone would be here!” Sharon stopped mid-way to the room when she noticed your parents, and to your surprise, she smiled widely and approached your mother from a distance.

“Mrs. Y/l/n? is that you?” she asked with nothing but joy. You were more than sure some bile had made it to your mouth when your mother squealed in excitement.

“Sharon! Oh, sweetheart! I was starting to wonder where you were!” Everyone looked confused when your mother gave Sharon a tight hug and the girl did the same. Your mother turned to you,” this little blessing, she helped me make sure today was a surprise! You were right, Sharon. She was so surprised!”

You felt your right eye twitch and a vein was most definitely seconds away from popping.

“You knew my parents were coming here today?” you asked Sharon with the best calm voice you could muster even if you were more than itching to grab her by the hair and make a mop out of her.

“Your mom called you while you were a little busy, and since you and I are friends I thought I do you the favor to collect the message from your mother, and so guess my surprise when she said she wanted to pay you a visit! I was on board the second her words came out of her mouth! You guys really needed to catch up!” she said with the sweetest tone possible that even your father was convinced that the girl could not even harm the smallest of bugs. But before you could do something illegal like break her neck, the elevator announced another arrival, and you were half expecting your grandparents to show up.

“Mr. and Mrs. Y/l/n!” The booming voice of Tony—for some unknown reason to you and probably God—calmed you enough to even let out a sigh that Steve and Bucky noticed while your parents were surprised to be addressed by the unknown man.

“Mom and dad, this is Mr. Stark. My boss. And his business partner, Miss Potts.” You gave them both a smile small.

“Oh, how nice to meet you both! Thank you for giving our daughter a chance to work with you!” Your mother was all smiles. But not your dad.

“Yeah, even if we don’t know what she does for you exactly,” he said as he gave Tony a tight smile when Tony shook his hand. You swallowed a bit hard.

“It’s my pleasure to have her in my team. She has been an amazing addition to our company, and she is quickly proving herself to be anything but full of potential,” he said as he gave your parents a wide smile as he send a, somewhat, reassuring grin to you.

“Glad to hear that. I hope we can talk to you about your company during our stay.” Your mother’s words quickly made you look at her.

“Where are you guys staying?” you asked and prayed to all deities that they didn’t plan on staying with you. And when your mother gave you a sheepish look, you almost swore that had been her intention.

“We were so excited that I forgot to plan the part of where we were going to stay. I was going to look for some hotels, but I was too anxious to look up anything nearby. We didn’t even look this place up. We just booked it and the taxi and here we are.” You almost cried at her words. You weren’t sure how you were still awake or standing for that matter.

“Don’t worry about that. I’m more than happy to put you both in the best suite at the best hotel I know. And I won’t take a no. Come on,” Tony turned around and pointed at the luggage your parents had left near the elevator, “Jarvis, please get the car. Come this way Mr. and Mrs. Y/l/n. You must be exhausted from your flight.”

Your mother and father followed after Tony as they quickly bid their goodbyes and see you later. Pepper waited for the elevator doors to close completely before she turned and looked at you with a questioning look, but you were not about to answer any questions. The only thing in your mind was murder.

“YOU BITCH!” You turned to Sharon and walked toward her with all the intentions of pulling every single strand of hair from her thick head, but Steve held you back practically lifting you off the floor.

“LET GO OF ME, ROGERS. THIS BITCH NEEDS TO GET SOME THINGS THROUGH HER FUCKING THICK ASS HEAD!”

“And that’s why he’s not letting go, doll.” Bucky stood near you just in case you managed to slip from Steve’s grip.

“Why did you do it? Like the rest of us, you knew her parents are clueless about all of this. She didn’t want her parents here, Sharon,” Peggy stepped up and asked the question everyone wanted an answer to.

“Saw a chance to get back at her and I took it.” She limited herself to reply any further than that as she glared at you with a hint of a smirk on her lips as she crossed her arms.

“She hasn’t done anything to you, Sharon,” Cassie said as she came from your left as you still struggled to leave Steve’s grip even if he was barely doing much force to keep you still. But Cassie saw a chance to get near her and was only a hair away from her face. “You are one spiteful bitch for no reason you know that? It’s fucking pathetic.”

Before Cassie could even think of punching Sharon’s teeth in, Bucky grabbed her and pulled away just like Steve had done you. Sharon looked nothing but unbothered at Cassie’s words, but she rolled her eyes and looked at you with hate.

“She had done nothing but take away what was mine. At first, it was my scenes, then my segment, and now my chances to make it to the magazine’s cover. I was in, but now she gets everything handed to her. This little bitch has done every single possible thing to fuck me over,” she said as she barely raised her voice as the venom they dripped was enough to make anyone shiver. But not you.

“What? You want an apology? I’m sorry you’re not as relevant as you thought you were.” You heard a couple of people covering their mouths at your words, and you grinned when Sharon started to show her emotions.

“How about you stop taking what is mine, you bitch!” she said as her face grew red and you saw how her eyes looked at the arms still wrapped around you.

“Are we still talking career-wise, or Steve-wise?”

“What?” The man himself let go of you so he could see your face. You turned around and scoffed before letting a humorless chuckle.

“Don’t tell me you haven’t noticed that Sharon has been giving me the death glare ever since you and I became close friends. I mean, if she was your girlfriend I would be jealous if you hung out with a few girls,” you said to him. Steve looked at you and then at Sharon as if he finally understood Sharon.

“She’s not. She’s just a co-worker.” You could have laughed, Cassie almost did. Sharon hesitated for a second before she turned to you and ignored Steve.

“I’ll admit, it annoyed me at first but then you just kept messing up with my life. So this, this is really all because of you,” she said as she grabbed the bag you hadn’t noticed she had with her and walked toward her room. You followed her as you left Steve’s arms.

“Do you realize what have you done to me because you can’t take some competition like a normal and sensible person? My parents are here to see how my life is going, Sharon!” you said as she kept walking, completely ignoring the fact that everyone was following you two around.

She turned around once she arrived at the door of her room and unlocked it.

“I’m going to enjoy seeing you struggle,” she said in a deep-sweet voice which only made the statement all the more wicked, “you can only keep a secret for so long, and I think your time is running out.”

“What do you get from this? Even if my parents find out, it’s not like I’m going to drop everything. You don’t know me, Carter. You don’t know anything about them either, so don’t pretend to know the outcome of this.” You tried to keep your cool, but you could feel a vein on your neck about seconds from popping.

“I’m aware of that. But I know that you, sweet and caring, you, will hate to be the reason for your parents’ disappointment because their ‘perfect daughter’ isn’t just that. You’ll hate yourself so much you will do anything to make sure that feeling goes away. And so, you will go away. And I think you know how I will love nothing more than for you to just leave,” she smiled at you. Anyone looking at her without the context of the situation would think she was a kind woman. Before she opened her door all the way she turned to you again and this time she looked at everyone who was behind you looking at her with incredulous looks and annoyance.

“Even if things don’t go as planned, you will have a lot on your plate. I might just get over everything once I get my laugh to see you struggle for a solid. So, please, do your best to screw up.”

You were left dumbfounded in front of her now shut door as she walked away from the conversation and everyone else. Peggy suddenly appeared in front of you, and you saw her lips move, yet no sound was registered by your brain.

You couldn’t wrap your head around Sharon’s actions. Sure, you had taken some of ‘her’ things, but you didn’t do on purpose, you didn’t even ask to have half of the things that had been offered to you, and you couldn’t believe how from such a good streak, these bad things were happening.

“I fucking hate her guts.” You walked away from everyone and went to your room while a couple of voices tried to call for you.

Cassie took over for you when Tony came back asking for answers. Pepper added the unbiased statements as Cassie couldn’t control but stop calling Sharon by her name and instead used a choice of colorful replacements. Once Tony had heard enough, the man carried nothing but a tense look and kept on trying to keep his cool as he requested for Sharon. She came out of her room only to be escorted to his office where they spent about an hour talking before Tony came back where the rest of the group of witnesses stayed to either talk about certain things that happened or make small talk as no one really knew what to do. Loki insisted on just leaving for the night as things seemed to only drag as the hours did too. But before anyone could move from their seats, Tony walked in, by himself, hoping to talk with everyone.

You walked out of your room just as you swallowed two aspirins without water while you walked to the kitchen to drink some water. You stopped when you saw everyone looking at you.

“Just the girl I wanted to see,” Tony said as he called you over. You hesitated before silently walking toward Cassie who made a spot for you.

“We’ve been talking about the recent events that transpired here, and after finding out that your dear parents have all intentions to find out what they can how this company works, I’ve come up with this idea which I was about to announce but I was working up to it because it’s me, I’m dramatic most times, so, while your parents are here, I’m stopping production.”

“WHAT?!” The room went from almost silent to full-on chaos as Tony just looked at everyone ask him questions left and right while you looked at him with wide eyes.

“It’s the only way I know how to help Y/n. It’s drastic but I can’t risk losing Y/n, she’s an amazing addition to this team and if she leaves, we suffer as a company and we will be losing a dear friend.” Tony got silence from that after most of them looked at you while you looked at your hands.

“You can’t do this, Tony.” You looked up at him and shook your head with earnest, “I can’t let you stop everything just because my parents are here to snoop and celebrate my birthday. I’m not dragging all of you for this. It’s my business, I can’t make it yours. It would be madness. I can try to keep them away from here, say I requested off, and once they leave I’ll be back ready to catch up on everything.”

“Trust me, that was what I was hoping for, but they made it quite clear that they want to see where you leave and what you do, and all that fun stuff parents like to do. Not that I know much about that, but they made it clear they want to know what’s going on around here because, surprise, they have no idea what this company is. I’m still surprised they haven’t looked it up.”

“It’s not like you advertise much. The company is not the directed name for the website or magazine or anything,” added Clint as an afterthought. He shrugged his shoulders and signaled for Tony to continue. Tony stopped and let out a deep breath before he continued.

“How about this; we stop doing our scheduled shots, and anything that shouts ‘pornstars’ and focus on anything else that doesn’t present that. It’s the only thing I can think of to keep working, without really working. It will be hard to lie about this, but we can try to make it seem like any other fashion/woman magazine.”

There was a pause before anyone spoke.

“So, you want us to fake our lives.” She looked unfaced before shrugging her shoulders, “I can work with that. I don’t know how much we can fake without giving it away, but I don’t think it’ll be that hard.”

“This means we focus on our side jobs with the next magazine issue instead of what we work the most,” said Parker as he talked mostly to himself, but some people nodded, “I guess this works in Cassie’s favor. We can probably come up with the magazine’s articles and stuff sooner than scheduled.”

“Yeah, but we won’t be able to talk or do anything revealing for it. And we won’t have time to edit anything if we start with that after Mr. and Mrs. Y/l/n leave. We are going to be about a week and a half behind once we start everything else,” said Cassie as looked at Tony.

“Then we tease. We can do anything that would be considered sexual but instead of being full nudity, we use a teasing technique. Risqué content instead of bluntness. As far as my parents are concerned, I’m graduating in Journalism and Creative Writing. This might just be the best thing we can do. And I’m sorry that it's come to this,” you said as you looked at everyone with glassy eyes. You were not about to cry for a mess you didn’t fully make, but you felt bad that everyone was stopping everything to help you, even those who you weren’t too close with were willing to partake in a lie for your sake.

“Don’t apologize for something you didn’t do, darling. Sharon did this, this is on her. No one blames you, not even for wanting to keep this part of your life a secret and Sharon taking advantage of that. And don’t worry about her. Don’t let her get to you,” said Peggy as she gave you a reassuring smile.

“Yeah, Y/n. Don’t let her ruin what has become the reason you are at your best. I’ve never seen you as happy as you are to be a part of this. And I know you’re thinking that this is ridiculous, how crazy it is that we are doing everything we can to help you, but I don’t think you realize that we are one big crazy team.” Cassie looked at you and held your hands as she gave you that bright smile that she always gave you whenever school got too hard, or whenever she knew you were struggling with schoolwork. She had become more than a best friend to you, and you knew she was. Practically sisters.

“She’s right. We are here for you, Y/n. I know this might be a dysfunctional group, but we got each other. We all have something that we want to keep away from this part of our lives, so we get why you felt the need to keep it from your parents. We are just doing what we know you would do for us. You are our friend, and friends take care of each other.” Steve gave you a smile as Bucky nodded next to him with a serious look which only made you smile. Everyone nodded along with Steve, or agreed by adding a quick ‘he’s right’ or ‘yea, what he said’ while you could only give a smile back as your heart did nothing but feel loved.

“Thank you,” you said.

“This will work, Y/n. It has to.” Tony looked at you as he nodded firmly.

The first two days dragged on slowly as your parents dragged you around town. Sure, you had made the suggestion to take them out and showed them the city, and walk around your old campus to keep on pretenses. You had convinced Tony to keep them out for at least two days, so all the staff was caught up with the changes that were to be implemented for some days. You had been filled with guilt, but your parents served as a great distraction as they practically made you lie about school and stuff. You were nervous, you rarely lied to them and when you did, they could tell right away. Especially your father, the man had a nose for it. And maybe it was your paranoia, but you felt his questions were turning more accusatory than innocently curious. But you did your best to keep them happy, even if it meant taking them out to some places you knew you couldn’t have afforded before getting the job of Pornstar. And on the second night of their stay, you took them out to a nice restaurant you had gone only a handful of times with some of your friends.

“This place is wonderful, I’ve never seen such a beautiful place before. I swear, it feels like I’ve gone to Italy,” said your mother as she couldn’t help but look around at everything.

“Are you sure you can afford to eat here? You don’t have to take keep taking us to expensive places when you still have some months before graduation comes around. You need to save up, honey,” said your father as he scanned the menu for like the umpteenth time as they waited for their food. He had asked to keep it just in case, and you only shook your head.

“I’ll be fine, I have saved up some money. I get paid good money,” you said as you sipped on your tea. Your mother looked at you and so did your father.

“You have yet to tell us what you do, honey. I’m starting to think you’ve gone and turned yourself into a dealer,” your mother whispered with a serious look.

You snorted loudly before covering your face. You looked at them with an exasperated look.

“Look, stop coming up with crazy things. I work as one of the writers for the company. It started as a small internship which quickly became a job as I proved my worth. Mr. Stark even gave me my own space to publish anything of my liking as long as he gives it a green light. Besides, this Los Angeles, mom. I make a lot of money, so I can afford things which you know, aren’t as cheap as they are back home. I spend about as much as I earn. It’s basic capitalism.”

Your father looked at you before he nodded to your mom. You swallowed hard you took another sip of your drink. You had been lying so much to them that it had become an instinct, but the fear of getting caught in one of them still lingered. No matter how natural or nor they flowed, you could only fool them for so long. Especially when your supposed graduation wasn’t that far away at all. You knew that sooner or later you would have to tell them, but you weren’t ready still, and worst of it all, now it had been forced on you. You could rip the band-aid off, but you weren’t brave enough. You didn’t want to be.

“As long as they pay you well, I will accept whatever other restaurant you want to take us, I don’t mind.” Your mother laughed just as the waiter approached with your food.

You ate in silence as your parents did most of the talking, while they planned what to do on your birthday. On a good day, the food you were attempting to swallow would be gone in seconds, but this time, you didn’t make it past a quarter of it before you felt like puking the more you tried to shove it down.

“… I hope we can see the place soon, I would like to know what happens at a Magazine Company. The movies I’ve seen with your mother make it look all hectic and everyone wears nice clothes.” Your father interrupted your mind as he looked at you.

“Well, it can get hectic at times, but we like to make sure we don’t burn ourselves out. Mr. Stark is an understanding man, he makes sure everyone is always comfortable and healthy. He’s a great boss.” You smiled sincerely almost grateful that some truth had come out of you.

“I still have some questions though, like how come you live at the same place as their company building and all that. I don’t get it,” your mother asked but she was interrupted when the waiter asked if anyone wanted dessert which caused your parents to forget about it, and proceeded to ask for some sweets before they got too full.

You practically spend the rest of the night keeping conversations about home, about your sister, and about anything going on in Montana. And as you had expected, your mother couldn’t stop talking, while your father did what he did best, space out and pretend he hung on to every word while he enjoyed his lava cake with vanilla ice cream.

You just wanted it to be over.

Luka&Ćarli podcast

I realize this also isn't in order but, I think Luka podcast was needed after yesterday. Anyway, enjoy

Host: so today with me is our captain, Luka Modric and our new coach, Vedran Corluka. Luka, he is something like a boss to you right?

Luka: yes, actually * laughs* when we first talked after I hear he will be joining us here as a coach, I didn't say "Hello Vedro or Ćarli" as I usually call him, I said "Hello boss"

Luka: but I quickly switched back to Vedro

Host: did he let you call by you(we also have Vi, as sort of more respectful way of saying you, usually to your superiors)?

Luka: yeah, he did. I mean I am still older than him se he let me *laughs *

Host: what about you Ćarli? How are you getting used to your new position?

Ćarli: oh that *laughs * well mostly good but sometimes I forget and coach starts talking and in a in a circle with other players. Only then do I remember I am supposed to stand next to him and not in the circle

  Host: when we have players answer card questions here, a lot of them answer the question "Which teammate would be the best coach?" with Luka. Is that a compliment to you?

Luka: that is very nice to hear. I am glad they think that. I haven't yet decided on what will I do after I retire. I think there are few more years of playing football ahead of me. But of course that's nice thing to hear

 Host: I have one tricky question for both of you. Do you know how many games you two played on the pitch together?

Ćarli: ufff

Luka: hmmm. I know we had our 50th game together-

Host: in Romania right?

Ćarli: no, no-

Both at the same time: in Rijeka

Luka: against Norway, wasn't it?

Ćarli: yes

Luka: so. I played over 100 games, you played over 100 games...I'd say we had 80...85 games together?

Host: there! Spot on!

Ćarli: I was think between 80 and 90 but-

Luka: wait, it's correct?

Host: exactly 85 games, yes

Luka: impossible

Host: good job man, wow

Ćarli: I don't believe this *shales his head * he is generally pretty good with informations like this

Luka: so wait it is really correct?

Host: yes. You guessed exact number

Luka, to Ćarli: did you see that huh? Huh?

Ćarli: yeah, that's a lot of games. 3/4 of my whole career in the nt I spent with you on the pitch *thinks for a moment * even more actually

Luka: is there a prize for me guessing the exact number?

Host: we'll think of something

Luka: to make the podcast shorter?

Host: *laughs * sure we'll cut it shorter

Host: would you mind sharing some happiest and some saddest moment in the games you played together?

Ćarli: well, I think saddest is the easiest. For me, and I think Luka will agree, the saddest game was Turkey

Luka: yes, me too. And your favorite?

Ćarli: Favorite? Well my first game-which was spent with him on the pitch as well, and all the games in Russia

Luka: I agree. I would also add Euro 2008, because that was also special for me. We were young there still but we already had that something. Maybe if we had more luck during that time...but, nevermind. Still, it stayed as a happy memory for me

Host: I find it interesting that the two of you spent the big part of your careers together. You were together in Dinamo, in Tottenham, in national team-

Ćarli: too much *all laugh *

Host: I wanted to ask, since you two know each other for so long and surely you had the chance to get to know each other well. Of course as players, but also as people

Luka: yes, we really know each other for a long time. From Inter, Dinamo, Tottenham...I actually remember in Dinamo-when he left, about a year before me. I wasn't thinking much before that, but when Ćarli left, I started to think more about leaving. Because we were really connected. Then I came to Tottenham and Ćarli immediately came for City to Tottenham. But even when we weren't together in clubs we'd be together in the nt

Ćarli: to me, the weirdest period was when he was in Real, and I wasn't *both laugh *

Host: I mean he could have made some arragments for you I'm sure

Ćarli: sure he could *laughs *

Host: we all know Luka who won all the trophies and what an amazing player he is. But I'd like you to tell us how he is behind the scenes so to say

Ćarli: behind the scenes? Well, I can tell you he isn't much different. He is very...focused at anything he is doing at the moment. And very competitive at any...games outside the pitch too

Host: yes, I saw the way he played against Lovren yesterday

Ćarli: *laughs * yes, as I said, nothing is easy with him. If you want to win, you have to try really hard

Luka: yeah there are certainly stories about video games...

Host: share some?

Luka: I am not sure if those stories should be said in front of cameras

Ćarli, laughing: you gotta share some now

Host: were there broken consoles?

Luka: and other things. Not just consoles

Host: as long as heads stayed in one shape

Luka: Ćarli is also like that. He hates losing, we are quite similar in that regard-

Ćarli: But unlike you, I don't choose games and battles I cannot win. Your games

*all laugh *

Luka: yeah if he knows he'll lose he won't play. But he was really good at Playstation

 Host: I'd like to hear about your time in Tottenham. There was 4 of you there, you must have hanged out together

Ćarli: too much *laughs * but it was good. Of course it was good. We were lucky the two of us played together and then for Niko and Pletikosa to arrive later on as well. Also the fact that our coach loved Croats. It was very easy to fit in in that kind of environment. And about other things...well we won't talk about that *laughs *

Host: you gotta tell us something!

Ćarli: this is a serious podcast!

Host: it isn't

Luka: yeah there were quite a lot of shenanigans

Host: there were huh?

Ćarli: I mean, English people are known for throwing Christmas parties. But I can say we weren't the worst

Luka: it was impossible to be the worst there

Host: alright, we'll make a first card break here. You ask one another, whoever wants to go first

Luka: I'll let the boss go first *laughs *

Ćarli, pulling out a card: wow, what an easy question! Kulen or prosciutto?

Luka: *laughs, looks at someone off the camera * what's up Vida? *laughs again *

Domo: *says something I couldn't hear *

Luka: hmmmm. It's hard to choose but kulen

*Domo yelling something from the back *

Luka: black, black Slavonian one of course!

*everyone laughs *

Luka: Čobanac ili brudet?

Ćarli: what is brudet *laughs *

*everyone laughs *

Ćarli: considering I feel closer to this name ČObanac, I will choose čobanac *laughs again *

Host: okay, you can go on

Ćarli: oh we are supposed to pull out next one?

Host: yes, you switch until you ask all questions

Luka: there are three cards

Ćarli: ah, okay!

Ćarli: a nutmeg or a dribble?

Luka: uff. I like to do both on the pitch *laughs * but I suppose nutmeg looks more attractive. So nutmeg

Ćarli: I'll say as a defender, I prefer someone does a dribble than a nutmerg. It's embarrassing on a different level

*all laugh *

Luka, looking at the card: oh god, what kind of questions you got...Severina or Lidija Bacic?

Ćarli: ooooh *laughs *

Host: I swear this isn't a set up! We randomly arranged them!

Ćarli: I don't see why would I think this was set up. It's ridiculous *laughs * so. Severina or Lidija Bacic. And I gotta choose one?

Host: yes

Ćarli: considering Severina is older and...pause I know more song from her....Severina *pause *

Luka: great *pointed look *

*both burst out laughing *

Ćarli, pulling out the next question: what is this? Black or white and red kit? What are these questions? Why are they so easy?

Host: well...they just are

Luka: what was the question? Black or white and red kit?

Ćarli: yes

Luka: white and red

Luka: this isn't a hard question either...Bela or Briškula? You probably don't even know how to play Briškula

Ćarli: I don't know how to play either of those

Luka: *laughs *

Ćarli: So the answer to this question  is...*shrugs * what do you prefer?

Luka: well Briškula, of course. I don't know how to play Bela

Host: Trešeta must be your favorite then?

Ćarli: I am not much of a card guy

Luka, overlapping: Trešeta is more dynamic. And interesting. But that's me, I constantly play Briškula and Trešet

Host: so Luka, during our flight, everyone was either sleeping or eating or joking around but not you. You rewatched the game again. That really shows how focused you are

Luka: well, yes, I have that habit of rewatching the games few times. So I can see if I made a mistake and whereI made it, so next time I can do it differently

Host: so you rewatch bad games too?

Luka: yes, both good and bad. I mean, it's always nicer to watch good ones but you learn more from bad ones. So that's why I always rewatch the games

Host: and you Ćarli? How did you spend time during rhe flight after some of your games?

Ćarli: well, it depends. Sometimes I'd rewatch the game as well, but it wasn't something I had to do immediately. If it was a bad game, I'd usually be pissed off, and I wouldn't talk to anyone. Especially if I played badly. If someone else played badly, then I'd insult them

*everyone laughs, Domo especially loudly *

Luka, imitating him: "why did you play you badly"? *still laughing *

Ćarli: if it was a good game thought, singing and celebrating and stuff, of course. But when it's bad, I'd just look through the window and wait until we got home

Host: I am guessing you didn't watch the WC final?

Luka: no, I didn't. Recently, during lockdown, they were playing all the games from WC again, and I rewatched almost all of them except the final. I watched some parts, but never until the end. So no, I never actually watched it

Host: both of you own a lot to Slaven Bilic, who actually got you into nt. You had quite a close relationship with him, and you probably are very close to him today, too

*Luka and Ćarli look at each other *

Ćarli: who is gonna say it? You or me?

Luka: you can go first

Ćarli: alright. Slaven is, and well, both Luka and me said in a lot of interviews, that he is our football father, so to say. He open the door for us, and believe in us both from the first moment. And he kept convincing us that we were it. That we were those who will take over, even back in U21. Of course we own him a lot

Host: alright one more related question for each of you. Luka will go first. I heared a story concerning you and Slaven. About how back in Čatež, someone said that Messi was worth 100 million dollars and Slaven then said: If Messi is worth 100 million, then Luka is worth 100 million and one dollar. Is that true?

Luka: well, I don't know. I don't know about that one but what stayed in my memory, was when Iniesta was starting to play in Barcelona, while we were in U21, he told me: "Do you see him? You are not any worse than him. You can play just like that, too. And you can get to that level" I remember that. Slaven is really an amazing man, he is all the things Ćarli said and more. And of course you feel the need to prove his trust was warranted after all that. He shows you so much love, and not just regarding football. So that story about millions-*laughs * I cannot say I remember that in particular, but I remember that story about Iniesta

Host: for you Ćarli-

Ćarli: 102 milion *laughs *

Host: with you, there is a story about when you were in Lokomotiva, you didn't come to trainings on Mondays

*Luka and Ćarli share a look and start laughing *

Luka: he only came to the games on Mondays *laughs again *

Ćarli, still laughing: it's a lie. A complete lie. But I do know why that story is going around-

Host: your recuperation period lasted a bit longer?

Ćarli: so I came from England, from Leverkusen, from full Wembly stadium, after playing against Barcelona. And I come here, and first game is Lokomotiva against Mordovia

*Luka chuckling in the background *

Ćarli: and we get in. About three thousand people are there. Some weird music is playing. And I'm like "good lord what is this?"

Luka, teasing: where did I come to?

Ćarli: and I'm like "we finish this game and I am traveling right back to Zagreb"

*all laugh *

Ćarli: and we win, 3-0 and I scored a goal. And I go to Slaven and say "coach I can't do this. If I don't go home now, I won't be coming back". And he says "sure, you can go, come on Monday for the training." And I take the flight and I go straight to Zrče (it's a place known for wild parties) and stay there for a few days and he writes me a message "I see you are having good time at home"

  Host: Luka, is it true that you had to be convinced to take number 10 in the nt? That you were so humble you weren't sure if you should take it?

Luka: well, yes, it's true. But it wasn't because of being humble or anything like that. It was because up until that point, I wore number 14, and I was doing well with that number. Despite the fact that number 10 was always an amazing concept, I was doing well with 14. So when Niko retired, Slaven came to me at the airport, and said "you can take numer 10 now". And I remember saying "uff. Do I have to now? Can I have some time to think?" And he looked at me and he was like are you fuc-, you know what I mean I don't want to swear, are you kidding me? And I said "I just want to think about it. Can I have some time?" And he looked at me weirdly and said: "this is the first time I hear something like this in my life. For someone to refuse number 10". And then after that, a couple of teammate came to me to ask me why I didn't take the number 10, and I kept saying I am doing well with 14. And it took me some time but then I decide to take the number 10 in the end. And I am happy I did now

Ćarli: then you have me, I took 14 in Leverkusen thinking, I will be going to Real soon too

*all laugh *

Ćarli: then again 14 in Lokomotiva and it was good. It fit me, 14 is a good number

Luka: 14 is an amazing number

Ćarli: I went by this logic-Luka was 14, 1+4 is 5, 5 is my favorite number...so 14 served me well as well

Host: second card break. Favorites

Ćarli, reading the first card: ufff. I'll start first now

Luka: sure

Ćarli: favorite superhero?

Luka: hmmm. Batman

Luka: favorite second sport?

Ćarli, smiling wide: cycling!

*all laugh *

Host: finally you got an easy question huh?

Ćarli: I must say I really fell in love with cycling. Especially in the morning, sometimes as early as 5 am, I love to go and cycle for hours. I even started watching it. A lot of people say look at this crazy man, watching men cycle for 5 hours

Luka: terrible

Ćarli: but when you get into it, and realize there is a technique and stuff...it's really good

*everyone laughs *

Host: wait did you also cycle back in Moskva? In minus temperatures?

Ćarli: no, I didn't. That's why I had home gym with a Zwift-here now you have an ad for a Zwift-and then it feels like you are outside

Ćarli: who forgets the most?

Luka: who forgets the most? Hmmm. Who asks the most questions?

Ćarli: *laughs *

Luka: Well Perija or Brekalo maybe. More Perija I think, he always asks a lot of questions, when is this, where is that. Although little Brekalo also-

Ćarli: *chuckling from the background *

Luka: -he forgets a lot too

*host bursts out laughing with everyone joining in *

Host: questiom for both of you. In Russia, was there a specific moment or a game when you realized exactly how far you could get in the tournament?

Ćarli: I think it was after the game against Denmark. Since we haven't passed the game after group stage ever since that bronze medal was won...I think it meant a lot. Took weight off our shoulders. Everything seemed slightly easier after that

Luka: For me, it was the game against Argentina I think. I mean from the beginning we could feel the special kind of connection we all had, but games against Denmark and then Argentina...I think we showed what we can really do

Host: and which celebration part was the best? Ćarli you'll probably know that the best

Ćarli: celebration party? *looks at Luka * there weren't many parties. Probably the one after semi final-I mean final! There was no party after semi final *burst out laughing, causing everyone else to laugh *

Luka: just a bit

Ćarli: there was just a bit of singing-

Luka: yeah with Grdovic

Ćarli: and after final, no other party can really compare. There was sadness of course, but we partied through it. And of course there was doček the day after too. I view that night after the final and doček like one big party. So that was the best one for me *smiles * and for the rest I'm sure

Luka: for sure

Host: Luka, I already mentioned you have a lot of trophies, and almost all of them one can get as an individual player. Would you trade some of them if you could have won gold during WC?

Luka: of course. It's...incomparable. i would instantly trade all trophies to me as induvidual player for it, and a lot of other big ones as well. So that's-

Ćarli: you'd trade all of those "football player of the year" huh?

*everyone bursts out laughing *

Luka: no, no, not those *burst out laughing *

*everyone laughing even louder *

Luka: but all the rest induvidual trophies I would trade. And even some from Real. I'd trade them for it. It would mean that much to me. But it is what it is

Host: for the end, last set of cards

Ćarli: which teammate would you choose to help you solve crossword puzzle? *under his breath * good lord

Luka: Miki Badelj. I think he is expert in that

Ćarli: *laughs * professor

Luka, absolutely dying: yes, professor *still laughing * who would you choose for going to the market?

Ćarli: ...who would I choose to go with me or who would I send to go for me?

Host: it can be send as well

Luka, mocking while luaghing: it can also be sending

Ćarli: but it says teammate right? I don't have teammates anymore

Host: it says player(igrač) or teammate(suigrača)

Ćarli: ah. Honestly I don't know who i'd send

*Luka, still losing it in the background *

Ćarli: very hard question. I am afraid someone will get offended if I say I'd send them to get fruits and vegetables

Luka: he can go with you then. Really, where better can he be

*everyone laughs *

Ćarli: someone fast

Luka: you keep saying stuff, I have a feeling they'd just end up carrying full bags *laughing *

Ćarli: I have a feeling going to the market with Juranovic would be a good choice

*everyone losing it again *

Ćarli: Jura, I think you and me would get everything done very fast

Ćarli: who would you choose to pick your outfit for the night out

Luka: ufff. Well...here I'd choose Mateo

Ćarli: *bursts out laughing * oh god

Luka: because he always likes to talk about how nicely he is dressed

Ćarli: *chuckling at like every other word *

Luka: so I'd like to see how he-

Ćarli, interuppting: wait, whose jacket did he have again? From some actor?

*Luka and Ćarli overlapping, I cannot understand the name *

Luka: -and he came dressed in it. We won't let him forget that

*two of them absolutely losing it *

Luka: but he loves that Italy thing. Always says he is amazingly dressed *says something else but laughs to hard to be comprehensive * so, Mateo

Luka: who would you choose to paint your apartment?

Ćarli: hmmm. It would need to be some perfectionist. Here I would once again choose one meticulous player, Milan Badelj *laughs * who it looks like, is talented in many things. Yes, it would last long, but the end result would be amazing

Luka: he is like, a card for everything

Ćarli: who would you choose to cook you a dinner?

Luka: to cook me a dinner? Uff

Ćarli: this is a true thinker

Luka: who do we have here...*looks at something off the camera * Budimir how do you cook?

*everyone around starts laughing *

*Budimir says something I couldn't hear*

Luka: steak is good huh? *laughs * well I don't really know, none of my teammates ever made me dinner so...

Ćarli: choose Vida, at least you'll definetly have good appetizer

Luka: true good kulen...

Host: so you won't end up hungry

Luka: who would you choose as a co-driver in rallying?

Ćarli: rallying? So what, he'd just tell me what to do?

Luka: *sighs * a co-driver Ćarli

Host: so Ćarli drives

Ćarli: I do drive

Luka: it would be better if he didn't

*everyone laughing *

Luka: oh there are stories about his driving...from when he was just starting

*louder laughter, especially from Domo with "oho" followed *

Luka: ...but we won't talk about that now

Host: you have to tell us something!

Ćarli: he can say, just let me tell my side first!

Ćarli: so first of all, I was under so much pressure. I bought BMV 1 in Dinamo, everything was high quality. And behind me, were my dad and Luka with another car

Luka: following everything

Ćarli: now I another car pass, and their car makes a turn. And I am supposed to start driving. And the car turns off once

Luka: *laughing, covering his face *

Ćarli: I am watching from rearview mirror and the two of them are watching, putting more pressure on me. So I try to turn the key and-the car dies again. And it happened once or twice more after that

Luka: at least 4-5 times

Ćarli: there was a whole waiting line of cars behind us Luka: we had to get out of the car to help him

Luka: it was a whole circus

Ćarli: so for me...automatic cars are great

Host: so you were missing a co-driver. So...

Ćarli: so here i need to once again choose my Milan Badelj

 Host: And with that, we'll finish our today's podcast, I hope you'll watch us tomorrow as well

[ambivalent-anarchy]

It's A Jameson Thing (Part 1)

Masterlist

Gender: Female

Pairing: Peter Parker x Jameson!OC

Warning: None

Peter falls for the charismatic, argumentative girl that just switched classes. Unbeknownst to him, she's the niece of J. Jonah Jameson, the man that viciously hates Spiderman.

---------------------------------------

"Alright so the proton and electron collide and then make..."

Mr. Harrington turned away from the smartboard and looked out into the sea of students in front of him. No one moved a muscle. "Anybody? A proton and an electron combine and maaaaake???" The students stayed silent, staring back at him with boredom dulling their eyes. He dropped his hands. "Come on, communication is needed, people! I know someone knows the answer!" He looked around, almost as desperate as the students for something.. anything new to happen. "Parker?," he pointed with chaotic hope in his eyes. "You know the answer right?!"

Peter felt his best friend, Ned, nudge his arm and immediately he jolted awake. "Huh? Um- HERE!," he blurted out, raising his hand.

Ned slapped his forehead. Chuckles were heard. Somewhere a student coughed.

Mr. Harrington rolled his eyes with a sigh. "Ugh, you know what? Free period, guys. No one's head's in the game today anyway."

"Whoop! Whoop!," Brad yelled though it was covered with a wide yawn.

And just like that the class began to wake up. Everyone moved their chairs, switched seats, until the entire class turned into a social frenzy."

So, did you watch the new Star Wars yet?," Ned asked, getting Peter to fully wake up.

The teenage superhero smoothed out his hair. "Nah, not yet. I haven't had much time."

At that, Ned completely freaked. "What?! Dude, you have to! You gotta hurry up and watch it so we can talk about it together!" He wildly began to rummage in his backpack.

"What're you doing?," Peter asked.

"Getting my planner because we're going to watch this together," Ned playfully snapped. "Now, when are you free?" He held his pen in his hand, expectantly.

Peter chuckled. "I-I don't know, man. Anything could happen at any time. I have to be ready." He cracked looked at Ned's disappointed face. Maybe he should relax a little. "...okay, anyday around 5. That's usually an inactive time for criminals. What happens in it, anyway?"

Ned's jaw dropped. "You seriously think I'm gonna tell you?! No spoilers, Pete," he said, pointing his finger in his friend's face.

Then he leaned in close. "But there is one thing I need to tell you for when you watch it."

Peter leaned in closer. "Yeah?"

"You know how Rey was kept having flashbacks about her family being taken?"

"Mhm." Peter nodded, eyes wide.

"Just, remember that part, okay?," Ned said. "It's real important, man. In fact, to get the full experience, you need to rewatch EVERYTHING." Ned smirked, "preferably in order."

Peter laughed. "I watched it out of order one time, Ned! How long are you gonna hold that against me?"

Their attentions were pulled to the front of the class when Mr. Harrington said, "Alright class, listen up!"

The class slowly became silent.

Mr. Harrington clapped his hands together. "Okay, so it appears we have a new student joining us today!" He stepped aside to reveal a young girl.

"Oooh, wow she's hot," Ned whispered from beside Peter.

"Shhh, Ned!," Peter whisper-shouted back.

"I'm actually not new," she spoke with a wave towards the class. "Just got my schedule tweaked a bit is all."

"Oh, well then you guys have already seen her around."

Flash threw his head up, looking the girl up and down. "Yeah, I've definitely seen you around."

She quickly shot him a glare. "Don't try it," she warned coldly, earning a few ooohs from the class.

Next, she was allowed to pick her seat.

Peter watched her as she walked further down the rows of desks. There was only one word that came to mind. Wow. Just from the way she held herself, he could see that she was special. And she knew it.

She had the type of confidence that he hadn't gotten until after becoming Spiderman.

It was as if even if she knew the apocalypse was imminent, she wouldn't move from her spot.

And Peter never realized it until seeing her now. A simple truth.

Confidence was attractive.

And on top of that she was attractive.

Peter blinked repeatedly, snapping out of his trance, after realizing that Ned was frantically waving a hand in his face.

"Peter? Hey. Yo! You okay?!"

"Huh? Ah- what?"

"In front of you!"

The girl was right in front of him.

"I said can I sit here?," she said, pointing at the chair beside him. No one sat there. It was perfect. Of course she could sit there.

Peter looked back at her, suddenly frozen. "Y-you wa-nt to-o, y-ye."

She furrowed her eyebrows. "I'm gonna take that as a yes..."

Ned nodded repeatedly with a wide smile, pulling the chair back for her to sit in. "That was TOTALLY a yes!"

She plopped into her seat with a snicker. She didn't take out any supplies because the class was nearly done. "So, who're you guys?"

Peter stared at her, his mouth still open. "M-my nam-me's Pee-!"

"Pee?"She stared back. "Like, as in... urinating?"

Ned rolled his eyes with an amused chuckle before trying to save his friend from embarrassing himself. "His name's-"

"Ter!" Peter's face was beet red.

The girl beside him giggled. "Oh, Peter. Of course." She playfully rolled her eyes. "Well Peter, I look forward to seeing you later. That is, if you can say more than a few words to me at a time." She smirked with a hum.

At that, the bell rang. The class proceeded to leave.

The girl grabbed her bag and stood up when she felt a hand grab hers. "Wait!," Peter blurted out. "When will we see you again?!"

The girl raised her eyebrows, eyeing his hand desperately grabbing hers. "Umm," she laughed out. "Maybe if my new class schedule aligns with yours then I'll see you..." She looked around. "Uhh, can you kind of-"

Peter looked down at their hands as he realized what he had done. "OH- uh... SORRY!"

She shook her head, laughing a bit. "No problem," she said before walking away.

"And I'm Ned!," Ned yelled after her.

Suddenly realizing everything he had done in the past 10 mintues, Peter dropped his head in his hands. "Oh mannn..."

Ned, who had been trying to keep a straight face the entire time, bursts into laughter. "Oh my God, duuude! You got it bad." He clapped his hands together. "I gotta tell MJ at lunch! Hahahaaa!"

-

"Wait wait wait. You don't even know her name?" MJ snickered, shaking her head at the two boys across from her.

"S-she didn't really have the chance to-"

MJ cut him off. "But you said she introduced herself to the class." She furrowed her eyebrows. "Wait-" she pointed her finger accusingly-" you two were talking weren't you?"

Peter waved his hand dismissively. "What? Hold on... Ned, we missed her name when you were screaming to me that she was hot!"

Ned paused, chicken wing halfway in his mouth. "I did? Huh, I guess I did."

MJ slapped her hand to her forehead. "I swear, you two idiots." She turned to the chubbier friend. "First, you can't shut up enough to hear the girl even say her name." Then to the thinner. "And then you can't say two words to her without getting tongue-tied or blushing like an idiot- why do I even bother. All this lovey-dovey crap does is aggravate me..'

Ned smirked, looking up. "Because you wuvvv usss," he said, making kissing noises.

"Oh go die in a hole-"

"*Attention teachers and students. Attention teachers and students. Will Jillian Jameson please come to the office? I repeat. Jillian Jameson, please come to the office.*"

The intercom turned off and Ned raised an eyebrow. "Jillian Jameson? Whose that?"

MJ shook her head nonchalantly. "The only Jameson I know is the one that hates you," she said, referring to the show host that made it his life's goal to give Spiderman a bad rep.

Peter rolled his eyes. "Oh, don't remind me."

He walked to the trash cans on the side of the cafeteria to throw away his lunch tray.

When he got there, he couldn't help but notice commotion from outside of one of the cafeteria windows. What he saw made his jaw and his plate drop to the floor.

It was the girl from earlier, the one who's confident flair had Peter head over heels.

The one who's hand he desperately grabbed, subconsciously to keep her closer.

The one that even though Peter had only just met her, he knew she'd probably be the end of him.

The one who was at that exact moment, running into a big cheerful hug with none other than J. Jonah Jameson. The man that viciously hated Spiderman's guts.

"Uncle John! How are you?"

Peter fervently ran back to the table. He buried his head in his hands for what felt like the twentieth time that day.

"Pete, what's wrong? What happened?," Ned asked.

"Yeah dude. You look like you saw a life-ending event in all of 20 seconds," MJ morbidly chuckled.

But he had.

"Guys," Peter, lifting his head, began to speak. "She's a Jameson."

MJ spoke up. "Well, c'mon there are tons of people with the same last na-"

"No MJ." Peter's eyes were wide open. "She's a Jameson Jameson..."

Sejan podcast

I know this isn’t in order but I also know everyone is waiting for this one so, here you go. Translation under the cut

Host, speaking to the camera: Good day dear viewers, and today-a treat. Dejan Lovren and Šime Vrsaljko. I was tempted to start this off with Šime's famos phase: Good day working people, tonight is a live" but it seemed a bit too much

Host, turning to them: should we expect something like that from the two of you during Euro as well?

Dejan: it's spontaneous for us. For Šime and me. We never know what will happen

Host: oh I see. Is it also partly the fact that you are a bit older now-

Šime: *giggling *

Host: -so you have this mindset of "oh we are older now, we'll leave it for younger players"?

Šime: *giggling louder * well no-we only improve with years that go by

Dejan: we get even worse

Šime: *openly laughing * yes, even worse!

Host: but the two of you continued that tradition even after WC. You call one another, you go live, you guve yourself into the ether, so to say

Šime: I mean, it's not...it's not showing people as much as they think-

Dejan: we show them maybe 1%!

*everyone laughs *

Šime: yeah we show them maybe 1% of the way we-I mean, we show everything through positivity and that's it. I guess people like that

 Host: I know the two of you have been active during quarantine. You were both probably bored and had quite a bit of interesting conversations. Maybe we should touch a bit upon that. Is it something you guys plan or does one call another and then you just talk?

Dejan: Oh, it's as I said before. Šime knows that when I call him, I'll call him three times. He has to answer

Šime: yeah, we really don't plan that. I often have some things I am doing but then he is calling me to comment on something and I-I don't have the heart not to answer

 Host: so Dejan, you were also quite bored in quarantine, and you tries quite a lot of activities. I believe cooking was also one and that one steak ended up burned

Dejan: the house almost burned down

Host: *laughs *

Dejan: no, seriously

Host: so it ended up completely black huh?

Dejan: yeah. But I did learn how to cook better after that

Host: and you Šime? I believe you said you didn't cook the eggs but the eggs cooked you. That there was oil everywhere

Šime: I mean, they closed us in the house. And I had some friends over and we were all really hungry so I made some eggs. They asked for fried eggs but they ended up getting scrambled ones

 *about getting haircuts in Russia*

Šime: so I came downstairs, after the lady was finished with Kova already. And we share a glance and Kova is like 'brate...this really isn't good' but I take a seat anyway, hoping it will turn out alright. And then she started cutting it and I felt she was taking out too much hair so I stopped her. Still had patches of hair missing. It was awful

Dejan: the rest of us surely didn't let him forget about it

Host: so how did all of this start? I know the two of you were roommate and that Dejan pressure you into opening instagram account, which you didn't want to do. But you did in the end

Šime: yeah, he was pesting me about it for days. 'Šime please. Com'on just open an account please' and what could I do? I relented. And then...I think we made that Marica video first?

Dejan: yes, that's how it all started

Šime: yeah. I didn't know how anything on Instagram worked, so I played with filters and that's how Marica happened. Interesting, what can I say

Host: what's interesting is that none of that was planned. There was no plan, no censure, nothing. You just showed us things as they were

Dejan: well I think that's the best, really. Plans rarely work out as you want them

Šime: yeah. We didn't do it to, I don't know, pretend we are funny or for views or something like that. Just...what happens, happens

Host: do you miss it now? The fact that you aren't roommates?

Dejan and Šime overlapping: we didn't-weren't

Dejan: everyone has their own rooms. But it's practically like we are. Not much of a difference

 Host: how did you think of your famous "aj lajk" idea?

Šime: well I don't it'-

Dejan: something got messed up in his brain

Šime: -something clicked in or out of place

Dejan: he just said something like "aj lajk a lot" and that was the end of it

Šime: no, I remember there was something-there was that moment well-erm

Dejan: laughs *

Šime: *sighs, shakes his head * I was watching this comedy from Jim Carrie and then he-and then he- *loses a train of thought *

Dejan: *laughs louder *

Šime: *smiles * there was something he did and-I thought of-

Dejan, whispering: aj lajk

Šime: no, it was-

Dejan, louder: ajjj laaajk

Šime: it was something different

*continous laughing from both Dejan and the host *

Šime: ...anway it was also spontaneous

 -Card break-

 Host: let's make first card break. You take the cards and ask the questions one to another

*Šime and Dejan take each one card *

Host: you can take all of-or you can take them one by one. Nevermind

Dejan: so what, I am asking him then?

Host: yes

Šime: don't give me any hard questions

Dejan: a yacht or a sailing boat?

Šime: a yacht

Host: a big one?

*voices overlaping *

Dejan: as long as everything fits in-

Šime: it doesn't really matter-

*pause. Šime shrugs. Dejan starts laughing *

Šime: I don't wanna sound too posh here. I don't spend much time on yachts and I was never on a sailing boat. And I am not very patient-

Dejan, overlaping: he doesn't have patience for that-

Šime, still overlaping: yeah, exactly-

Dejan, speaking over him: I think he is more likely to push the sailing boat himself-

Šime: I really don't think I'd like that- not one bit. Anyway, SUV or Cabriolet?

Dejan, looking pained: Cabrio.

Dejan: VAR or not VAR?

Šime: *sighs * no VAR

Šime: Jennifer Lopez or Shakira?

Dejan: *thinking*

Šime: Can he choose both?

Host: he can, but if he can choose one that would be better

Šime: I am just giving him an option

Dejan: JLo

Šime: ah, fine I guess

Dejan: rock or hip hop?

Šime: I listen all kinds of music so it depends

Šime: iPhone or Android?

Dejan: iPhone

  Host: Šime you didn't play a lot of games because of your injury. We are all happy you are back now but I am curious. How did you feel at home, watching them play and suffer on the pitch while you are at home?

Dejan: what about how I suffered?

Šime: If someone told me I will not play for the nt for so long after WC during WC I eould have called them crazy. But I kept postponing the injury during WC and I paid the price after. So yes, it was hard, watching my boys that I spent so much time with, play without me and struggle while I wasn't there. But I am here now and we have a big chance once again to cheer up people who love Croatia

Host: Deki, there have been some new player joining the nt recetly. How do you think they are settling in?

Dejan: I think, good. I mean when I remember my start, of course you are a bit more shy but I am sure they'll be more outgoing with time. But they seem like nice guys

Host: do you think there is a potential in some of them to continue this entertainment thing you and Šime do? Or are they more closed of?

Šime, cutting in: I think there is always a way to joke around a bit. But-

* Dejan, shaking his head and mouthing no*

Host: no huh?

Šime: but-

*voices overlaping *

Dejan: it just doesn't exist-

Host: how would you encourage them to-

Dejan: you can't. You are either born that way or you aren't

Šime: I mean the two of us have been in the nt for awhile now and it's always the same. Every morning if I wake up even at 4 am I'd start laughing

*Dejan laughing *

Šime: it's just the way it is and you can't really describe it

 Host: I wanted to ask, I don't know if this will ever happen but I would like to see you two as hosts one day. If you could choose someone to ask questions as host from the nt, who would it be?

* Šime and Dejan share a look and burst out laughing *

Šime, still laughing: no the thing-the thing is, the two of us commented on probably every famous person ever. Connected to sports or not. But if I had to choose-if I had to choose someone I think I'd laugh to tears with while interviewing it would be Goran Bare

*Dejan giggling in the background *

Šime: it would really be a show

Host: if he could hold a concentration during the whole interview

Šime: I mean it would be something casual, like this. And for the questions we would have...I reallly don't know

Šime, looking at Dejan: who would you choose?

Dejan: I don't know

*silence *

Šime: com'on brate, say someone

Dejan: hmmm. I don't know. No one is coming to mind right now

Host: and from the nt? If you had to choose one teammate?

Dejan: Brozović

Šime: well yes but-

Dejan: he is maybe number one for me right now. I just remembered

Host: and would he agree? To come to a show hosted by you?

Dejan: not only would he agree. He would have to agree

Šime, unconvincinly: mmm. Yeah

Host: Deki, did you get used to life in Russia?

Dejan: well yeah, yeah I did-

*Šime giggling *

Dejan: it's not how I expected. I expected to be able to survive the winter but it's really cold

*Šime bursting out laughing and coughing *

Dejan: I went out on the balcony one day and thought "my freezer is warmer than this "

Šime: so meat can be kept outside with drying clothes. If it's that cold. How cold it is?

Dejan: -30 C

Šime: wow. There we go then

Host: you didn't visit him yet?

Šime: no

Host: and you won't huh?

Šime: oh no *laughs * I said I didn't not that I won't

Host: Šime how did you face Luka after snatching the trophy from him?

Šime: normally. But I remember thinking-since he scored last minute to Villarreal and we won our game. If we ended with a draw and he scored a goal in last minute and won the championship-uff. I wouldn't be able to look at him

Dejan: he doesn't even have space for any more trophies anyway

Šime: him?

Dejan: yeah. Like com'on

Šime: but. Um- *looks at Dejan and forgets his sentence *

Dejan: dragi

Šime: hmm?

*Dejan laughs *

Šime: don't talk too much

 Host: We had Budimir here yesterday and we talked about how he got into argument with Savic. He didn't want to tell us any details, but he said you'll surely tell us everything

Šime: he really pushed it all on me huh?

Someone off camera: that's not exactly how he said it!

Šime: I mean I don't want to judge because I am on good terms with both of them. I didn't get involved and I actually found someone else to argue with-

*Dejan laughs *

Šime: but I am really close with Ante while we are with the nt but Stefan is also my friend I talk to every day so. I wouldn't want to pick sides

Šime: I am glad Ante scored thought and that the club bought him so I congratulate him on it this way-oh he just entered

Host: Ante you came a little late. We just talked about you and Savic. Šime told us everything

Dejan: he insulted you to the fullest

Host: he told us everything, we heard a completely different story from you, just so you know

Budimir: will I need to give some sort of reply?

Host: it's too late for that, you had you lr chance and you didn't say anything

Šime: I wanted to say, there was tension during the whole game and it escalated jn the tunnel-

Host: oh Luka, you are a bit late too. We talked about you as well

Luka: I was here already before-

Host: I think he waited until you left to say something-

Budimir: I just wanted to say, he sent Grbic after me. The biggest one

*all laugh *

Šime: I didn't even see Grbic. I was too busy with some other things. Some my exhibitions

  -Cards break-

Dejan: who has the best image?

Šime: ufff. Hmmm *thinks for about 30 seconds * Based on my taste? I guess Mateo? He knows how to dress well

Dejan: *laughs quietly *

*everyone from the background start laughing *

Host: you are not of the same opinion

Šime: well I said it's based on my taste

Dejan: next question

 Šime: who has the best car?

Dejan: what should I say?

Šime: just say it's you, brate

Dejan: I mean Barišić has a good car

Host: Barisic huh?

Dejan: I wanted to say Luka but Luka is *makes dismissing gesture with his hand *

Luka: soon!

Šime: Luka will have it soon but tastes shouldn't be discussed. Besides whoever has the fastest doesn't mean he is the fastest

*everyone laughs *

Host: so who is the fastest?

Šime: well that I don't know. We should have some sort of competition

 Dejan: who gets ready the fastest?

Šime: ufff. I don't know. I really don't know. I can tell you who gets there last but-

Host: who gets there last?

Dejan: captain

Host: Luka huh?

Dejan: well you know it's when you pass 30-31, you immediately pay a fine. So he comes exactly at 30

Šime: but at yesterday's lunch, you should have seen that show. It was 29 minutes and 45 second when suddely the door opens and everyone rushes in. There was pushing and running...chaos. but that's because we have some new regulations like no being late, no phones...but I think that's great

Host: who paid the most fines?

Dejan: ufff I can't quite remember. But I think Reba and Perisic

Host: now I'd like you both to tell me about your childhood, but perhaps something not football related

*Šime and Dejan burst out laughing *

Šime: there is still more of these dragi *giggles *

Dejan: are you fucking with me

Host: alright sorry guys, my bad. Continue

Šime: are you asking me or am I asking you?

Dejan: you ask me

Šime: no, I asked you last. You ask me

Dejan: alright. Who eats the healthiest?

Šime: I think Deki does

Dejan: Me??

Šime: yes. The way he makes and mixes those salad he eats...I am sick from only going to that part and looking at all the stuff you are supposed to put in them. But he does it so carefully and he clearly enjoys it. I mean we all eat healthy but he is like...yeah

Dejan: I mean I really do like salads. And I have this whole pressure-captain sits next to me and he says "make a double salad"

Šime, overlapping: well yeah, he uses him a little, so what-

Dejan: and it has to be perfect, salted to a gram, otherwise it's "what did you put in this?!" *sighs * it's fine

Šime: who cooks the best?

Dejan: cooks???

Both of them: no one

 Host: alright so, your childhood. Šime, you can go first

Šime: my childhood? I don't know what to say, really. It was good, I grew up loved, surrounded by fun and playing games with my friends outside. I also thankfully have a younger brother and...I don't know. Most of my fondest memories are the ones spent playing outside, usually with the ball of course

Host: which neighborhood?

Šime: well we moved once so there were two addresses in Zadar, until I finished middle school. And then I went to Zagreb at 14

Host: what about you Dejan? I know you had a harder childhood, but I'd like to touch upon happy moments and not so much on bad ones

Dejan: what should I say? I don't know where to start. I mean I had a really nice childhood in Germany. My parents introduced me nicely to the real world pretty early on. I remember at that time I thought we had everything we needed but...in the background everything was burning. I think I only realize how bad the situation was when we got back to Croatia. But that's alright-it happened for a reason. And I think we can all be proud that we survive it. I am actually sad my brother didn't went through that with us. He was too small

Host: you spoiled him a bit huh?

Dejan: well no. He is 10 years younger. By the time I went to Lyon he was just starting to grow up. Maybe that's why I-because of what happened I developed quite a character. So I can proudly say we all went through that together and today that's something that doesn't have a price

Host: you went to Zagreb when you were only 14 right? Although I believe you said in one interview you really wanted to go

Šime: I wanted to go because it was a call I couldn't refuse. It was football and football is my biggest love. And it's something you just feel you need to do. And when you are that young you are just pulled by your goal, by the love for football. But when I came and when the process of growing up was suddenly sped up...only then did I realize the consequences of my decision. But at that time that was a challenge to which I would never admit defeat. So there was only victory left. And I did win that game of my life. Those kind of moments left a mark on you. As Deki said those things make you stronger and make some things later in life easier

Šime: but don't get me wrong! I am not saying it wasn't nice as well. I am talking her like it's something awful-

Host: was it too much of a change to you at first?

Šime: well no, it was great for me actually. I was supposed to go to Hajduk at that time and I went to two tournaments with them in Zagreb, we won that tournament, I won the best player award and they were demanding for me to come to Hajduk but they couldn't make a deal with Zadar and then the offer from Dinamo came and...there wasn't much thought on my part. It was really great. I was at dorm for the first 6 months. And...I don't have time now but one time when we have time I'll talk about the details and my experience with boys from both on and off the pitch. It was a time of self descovery for me so to say

Host: Deki, I have to ask you something. I have a friend that played with you in Inter and he said that you spend the whole night with them celebrating, but you only drank Cola and similar drinks. Never alcohol

Šime: impossible. I don't believe it

Host: that's what he told me

Šime, turning to Dejan: is it true? How old were you?

Dejan: 16 or 17 I think?

Šime: oh okay, then I believe it

Dejan: I mean I had this sort of mentality of looking at things ahead. It's not that I never got drunk. I got absolutely plastered and I walked on my knees-

*everyone laughs *

Dejan: -but I definitely had days I didn't drink despite hanging out with teammates because i didn't feel like it

Šime: *still laughing *

Host: He is dying of laughter. I don't understand why

Dejan: that's because he saw the time I was on my knees and ge remember that now-

Šime: *laughing louder *

Dejan: so now for him that's-

Šime: no it's *laughing do hard he is incomprehensible * it must have been some time before the game so you didn't drink *proceeds laughing *

Dejan: well yes, that's what I am telling you. The rest of them were getting wasted anyway

Šime: *laughs even louder * this was good, my god

Host: he has good tricks huh?

Šime: no I mean, I am not saying what he is saying is untrue I just *laughs *

Dejan, overlapping: he just saw the worst version-

Šime: I know how he gets when he-*laughing harder *

Dejan: -saw the full transformation-

*both laughing very hard *

Šime, wiping his eyes: oh my god.

Dejan: anyway, next question

 Host: Šime that jump of yours after a ball during the game against Belgum...what happened?

Dejan: blackout

Šime: I mean yeah-I was so mad

Host: but jumping with both legs-

*Dejan laughing *

Šime: he is laughing but I am still mad. There were so many situations with Lukaku, he kept pushing the players with the whole "oh I am strong, oh I am fast" I mean he is but. Still. So when I saw him leading the ball I wanted to-I want to shorten his....

*everyone except Šime laughs *

Dejan: his legs

Šime: his way to towards the goal. And I failed and when i saw that in a duel I lost the ball-

* Dejan laughing again*

Šime: and I was tired and under stress so I had to get it all out somehow so i don't do something worse later

Dejan: I remember watching TV and I saw that, I looked at my brother and then back the TV and I said "he had some sort of blackout there"

Šime: I just did what I had to do. If it was concrete there, I would have threw myself at concrete at that moment

*Dejan absolutely losing it *

Šime: I am serious. I would have honestly threw myself at the concrete at that moment

Dejan: *slaps his arm, still laughing *

Šime: I realize it was a bit unexpected from the outside but I just had to do it so I don't endanger anyone else's health later

 -Cards break-

Dejan: only two cards?

Host: no there are supposed to be three

Dejan: *looks around, no sign of third card *

Host: lost it on the way huh? It's fine, there can be two

Dejan: alright. Favorite book?

Šime: pfffff

Dejan: *laughs *

Šime: there is no favorite book

Dejan: *laughs harder *

Host: nothing huh?

Šime: no. I know there might be a phase in my life when I will read books, but for now...I just don't have a patience

Dejan: *continous laughter that increases everytime word 'book' is mentioned *

Šime: favorite song?

Dejan: uh. I can't really choose, it depends on a mood *thinks for a moment * but now...let's say from Oliver "Bez tebe"(without you)

Dejan: favorite city?

Šime: Zadar

Šime: now another question that won't be hard to answer. Favorite number?

Dejan: *shurgs * 6

Šime: you didn't really choose some hard questions

 Host: if you had a choose one player from the nt who is really special? Personality wise as well-

Dejan: Broz

Šime, nodding: Definitely Brozović

Host: I keep hearing about him. Maybe people from the outside have the wrong idea about him-

Dejan: wrong idea? No, they have the right idea. Exactly the right idea. The guy is hilarious, but also an amazing player. I cannot believe someone can eat 2 kg of pate, 2 croissant and coca cola before a WC match and just. Run for 15 km. I just don't understand that. And then when you ask him how he says: "pateee" and makes hand gesture to the sky. I really don't understand him. I would need 4 days to recover from eating all that

Šime: yeah his mental state...I don't think there is much of a difference for him when he wakes up in the morning on a normal day or when he about to enter a pitch. But I think when you meet him you are surprised actually. He is actually quite quiet and nice and really smart, with a big heart

Host: and he is honest right?

Šime: yes. There is no doubting for him. He will tell you everything to your face and what you think about that-that's your problem. I think that's great

 *about their lives and interviews from Russia*

Šime: one thing that I specifically remember from videos of our interviews are people trying to read our lips

Dejan: oh god *laughs *

Šime: I remember whispering to Dejan "look that guy is the same Strina

Dejan: the guy really looked identical

Šime: and someone wrote that I said "look at that woman with big boobs"

Dejan: *laughs harder *

Šime: I mean, how do you even read it so badly??

 -Last card break-

Šime: which teammate would you let choose an outfit for your night out?

Dejan: Šime Vrsaljko

Dejan: which teammate would you choose...as a business partner

*they share a look and start laughing, the entire audience joining them

Šime: Well Dejan Lovren, of course

Šime, calming down: alright, alright next question. Which teammate would you choose to-*starts laughing * to-to babysit your child for a few hours?

*everyone burst out laughing *

Dejan: Šime Vrsaljko

Dejan: now, listen to this

Šime, already half laughing: yes?

Dejan: which teammafe would you choose to...change your tire

*both burst out laughing again *

Šime: *catching his breath but still laughing * what-I mean what should I say *laughing again, shrugging * oh fu-

Šime: which teammate would you choose for a gaming partner?

Dejan: *thinking * but you are always playing those video games. Call of duty and stuff. I have to pick Šime again

Šime: well I really sometimes do-

Dejan: sometimes?

Šime: often-and then I tried to get him to start playing-

Dejan: and I did, during lockdown. And he got me into Call of duty. And after 5 hours I say "I am going to bed" and my wife wakes me and she is like "dragi you are shaking "

Šime, laughing: he was shooting!

Dejan: it completely scrambled my brain. So I quit. Stupid video games

Dejan: alright now tell me...who would you choose as a partner in a fight?

Šime: ufff. Well him. I'd choose him for everything. It's a matter of trust. If we were to get into a fight together-

Host: you'd take a punch for him?

Šime: we'd-we'd make it a good fight. Guaranteed

  Host: well guys, that's it. I hope you enjoyed-viewers certainly will. This will be viewed a lot I bet

Šime: it was good. Fun. Although I saw that in some podcasts they drink while answering-

Dejan: where did you see that?

Šime: in podcast. When Goran Bare was a guest they also gave him the-the-

Dejan: so I end up on my knees here? Don't be ridiculous-

Šime: -and we'd open the topics much easier that way

Host: I don't know what your coach would say to that-

Šime: -it's classic art. I am not saying we have to drink here just that I think it's cool

Dejan: *laughing *

Šime: maybe some people are a bit stiff so this would help them relax

Dejan: how do you think we'd be like? How relaxed?

Šime: from 1 to 100? 200

Host: well you gave us a good idea for maybe some future podcasts-

Šime: but I think that would need to happen when there are no football activities involved-

Dejan: I think the chair would be sitting on me and not me on a chair

*both laugh *

Šime: just prepare us two beds here so we can lie down after

Host, turning to the camera: Anyway, dear viewers, we'll stop here for today. I hope you all had fun today, and watch us tomorrow as well

[croatian-nt]

Livi podcast

The guests of the podcasts are Dominik Livaković and Marjan Mrmić(who is goalie coach)

Translation under the cut

Host: Tell me a bit about your season in Dinamo. It was one of, if not the best season ever in Dinamo. What would you say, what happened? How did you guys become so good?

Livi: I guess there are more quality players now. And we worked well together and..yeah. I guess something just clicked

Marjan: He is being humble. Dominik had an excellent season and he knew how to stay calm in stressful situations and that calmed the rest of the team

Livi: *looks at the floor*

Host: was losing against Ferencvaros the turning point? What made you all be that much better after?

Livi: well I suppose it was important. I mean, I think I could almost say it was a good thing we lost so early on, considering the rest of the season

Host: I am not sure director of finances in dinamo agrees

Livi, laughing: well no, probably not but I think we brought it enough money later on

Host: you defended a penalty against Cluj. Well two actually. Was that harder to do or was watching Suba defending penalties during WC?

Livi: oh wow *laughs * that's-I mean you can't compare those two things. Completely different feelings. But I suppose there wasn't that much pressure put on me during those penalities because I didn't know they would be the last. But Suba is probably one of the best goalies Croatia ever had, if not the best. So I really don't think that's comparable

 Host: Alright, first card break. You need to choose between two things

Marjan: Nutmerg or dribble?

Livi: what?

Host: *repeats it *

Livi: *loading * oh! Nutmeg. *laughs * especially when it's Vida

Host: did that happen?

Domo: *yelling from the background * (I think he said "he didn't say that!" But it's not clear) *

Livi: *laughs * Anyway, next question

 Marjan: Meat or fish?

Livi: Hmm. Meat

 Marjan: Pizza or hamburger?

Livi: Pizza. Especially after a winning game

 Host: how did you start with your goalie career? Since most guys want to score a goal

Livi: well, I can't quite remember. I was attacker one day and goalie the next. I like the way goalies threw themselves to catch a ball I guess

 Host: are all goalies this calm? Or are you and Marjan exceptions?

Livi: I mean, there are some goalies that are crazy *laughs, shakes his head * but I am more of a calm type. Works better for me. Although there is that saying 'you are a goalie? You must be crazy' so you know

 Host: Second card break. It's who in the national team...?

Marjan: who takes the longest to get read in the nt?

Livi: oh, Vida

Marjan: Who runs the fastest?

Livi: Vida

Host: Vida, again?

Livi: *shrugs, laughing *

Livi: who has the most precise shoot?

Marjan: right now? Oršić

Host: Livi, would you agree as his teammate?

Livi: well yes, of course he is very good. But Vida is also very good, especially recently, he scored a lot

Marjan: who has the best hairstyle?

Livi: * laughs, covers his mouth*

Host: yeah, you can use Vida again here

Livi: yeah, yeah... Vida has the best hair

Livi: who has the best sense of humor?

Marjan: Vida

*all laugh, Domo yelling again from the background *

 Host: so your first, well second game, against England, what do you remember from it? Were you nervous?

Livi: yes, of course. When I read the list of names of their players...I certainly felt nervous. It has been...what? 5 years since then?

Host: 3, 4 years actually. Autumn in 2018?

Livi: Really?

 Host: who are players who you find most fun? The ones whose company you liked the most during WC?

*Livi, looking at Vida and laughing *

Host: EXCEPT for Vida

Livi: Then, there were also Šime, Dejan and Broz

 Host: except for not missing being on a bench, do you miss Suba in nt?

Livi, smiling: yes, I miss him. I miss him a lot. We have been on a coffee the other day, actually

Host: what would you say, how did you improve as a goalie? But please don't give me a generic answer like, experience

Livi: experience *laughs * I am kidding, I am kidding. But I have been working on playing with my foot a lot. That's what I concentrate on the most and I think I improved. Other goalie stuff well...you learn in every training

 Host: okay, new set of cards, but with one new rule. Who would you choose from nt but WITHOUT Domagoj Vida

Marjan: who would you choose as a singer in a band

Livi, laughing: who else am I supposed to choose? Who else?

Host: alright, alright. I'll give you that one

Marjan: who would you let babysit your kid for a few hours?

*Livi, laughing*

Host: no. No you can't

Livi: hmmm. Then I suppose either Kale or Vrsaljko. They have a lot of experience

Livi: who would you let choose your outfit

Marjan: hmmm. Dominik

Marjan: who would you choose as a co-driver on rallying?

Livi: oh, Šime for sure. When he presses accelator...he doesn't stop

  Host: so tell me, do you plan to stay in Dinamo forever? Or did you have some plans for future clubs?

Livi: I don't think much ahead. Everytime I do, it doesn't exactly end up that way. We'll see. I feel good in Dinamo right now. We have amazing results and I feel like home. Zadar is close, too

Host: Well then. Don't forget about out deal. If you sign up for Barcelona you have to go to every nt conference for the rest of your career

Livi: *laughs awkardly *

Host: I hope it still counts. I mean Ter Stengen isn't bad but I am holding onto your word about that

Livi: alright

 Host: Let's ask something more private. We know you are in a relationship and by recent covid regulations we are allowed to have bigger weddings again so...I am kidding, but in all seriousness did you think about starting a family?

Livi: well yes, of course I have. I mean, all the people I know that have children think of them as biggest blessing. I do want that, at some point

 Host: pets?

Livi, smiling again: yes, Cruz

Host: what breed is he?

Livi: pomsky. Do I really need to explain?

Host: ...a bit

Livi: * explains *He is wonderful. I mean he is mine, but...he is really wonderful. He makes you so happy, especially when you come home after being away...it's amazing

 Host: Helena used to do ice skating and according to Vida, you are the best dancer on the team. That means your first dance will be amazing

Livi: *laughs * I am not so sure about that. I think I'll need to practice a lot, even more than I did to learn how to defend a goal. But we'll see how that'll go. And I have to say that Vida lied. But maybe he is the best. He dances...really good

Host: he has a good sense for rhythm?

Livi: he rips shirts a lot

 Host: New card break. Favorites

Marjan, reading a question from the card: what's your favorite childhood moment?

Host: the one that isn't connected to football

Livi: not connected to fooball. Uff. I am not sure I remember. Hmmm

Host: that far away huh?

Livi: *laughs * yeah. I guess coming back from school and everything being alright(I am guessing he means grades wise)

Host: that moments were so rare huh?

 Marjan: Favorite series?

Livi: Game of Thrones

 Host: what's your hobbies, except for series? What so you do when you don't play football

Livi: well, I actually like to play basketball. I am from Zadar, after all. I started with basketball first actually, before switching to football

 Host: okay, I gotta ask. Why do goalies spit in their gloves?

Livi: well so the ball sticks to them better. So it doesn't fall out of our hands *rubs palms together * so they are...wet. *realizes what he said * but yeah uh. Mostly so you don't drop the ball

 Host: do you prefer long or short sleeved jersey? And how do you choose that?

Livi: I like long sleeved one better

Host: except when it's really hot?

Livi: yeah...when it's really hot I choose short sleeved undershit

 Host: Anyway, you guys told me not to make this too long considering there is a final of Europe league that you want to watch. Any preferences about who wins?

Livi: No, I think both teams are great. They have different qualities so, we'll see

Marjan: I think Manchester United will win. Longer tradition

Host: Either way, thank you guys for participating in today's podcast. And to everyoone who is watching, I hope you'll watch us tomorrow as well. Goodbye
