Why can I understand podcasts but not natives right by me?

Maybe a dumb question but I’ll give out more details. I feel like I can understand podcasts and generally videos of natives talking from my target language but when I actually hear natives having a conversation with each other in person just a few feet from me I can barely understand anything? And I mean regular podcats not podcasts just for learners. Anyway I understand there is some background noise in person but I don’t know, it’s just very demotivating.
