Speaker 1: Welcome to the No Sports Report, a production of I
Speaker 1: Heart Radio Entree Fork Media. Small note this episode was
Speaker 1: recorded prior to the murder of George Floyd and the
Speaker 1: resulting global reaction in protests, which is the only reason
Speaker 1: it's not mentioned. Something to keep in mind while listening.
Speaker 1: My name is Jensen carp and I'm a sports fan,
Speaker 1: and I'd like to take a minute to acknowledge the
Speaker 1: universal d H rumors. It appears that Major League Baseball
Speaker 1: would be implementing the designated hitter into the National League
Speaker 1: when this quote unquote season starts, as if we need
Speaker 1: another gimmick besides playing during a pandemic. Listen, I don't
Speaker 1: even like the d H in the a L call
Speaker 1: me a purist or whatever, but it's not like we
Speaker 1: need more home runs. But if this does bring in
Speaker 1: more dudes too big to play infield, some real David
Speaker 1: Ortiz move on and cecil fielder types, I could be persuaded.
Speaker 1: Until then, I'm talking to athletes and sports industry professionals
Speaker 1: about what they're doing in quarantine, hoping to figure out
Speaker 1: if famous compete as much as I miss watching it.
Speaker 1: This is the No Sports Report. Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Keone.
Speaker 1: Kella knows some baseball fans think he has a chip
Speaker 1: on his shoulder based on locker room whispers and some
Speaker 1: on field squabbles from when he was growing up, and
Speaker 1: now was supposed to be his opportunity to show off
Speaker 1: the emotional growth he's worked hard to implement, not only
Speaker 1: into his game, but his personal life as well. Ki
Speaker 1: One is coming off an impressive season where in middle
Speaker 1: relief he posted a two and oh record and a
Speaker 1: two point one to e r A, and now with
Speaker 1: a new Pirates front office and pitching coach, he's said
Speaker 1: to be the squad's opening day closer, a position he's
Speaker 1: lobbied for and now is impatient to take over. And
Speaker 1: with the season in limbo and free agency looming for
Speaker 1: him next year, he's keeping a close eye and when
Speaker 1: he could take them on once again and prove himself.
Speaker 1: On this episode, Kona and I talked about maturity, how
Speaker 1: he probably had coronavirus and I get to suggest some
Speaker 1: new walkout songs for the ninth inning and after Key
Speaker 1: One will hear from Taran kill him of SNL and
Speaker 1: single parents fame about how he'll be sitting in the
Speaker 1: new ram Stadium next season whenever that is. It's a
Speaker 1: new installment of Pandemic and much more. On a new
Speaker 1: episode of The No Sports Report, how from he on
Speaker 1: Echell to Except Press one. Hey man, how's it going.
Speaker 1: I'm doing well in yourself, trying to do as well
Speaker 1: as I can. I feel like we're we're we're month
Speaker 1: after month. Now do you are you going crazy? No? Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I'm stay pret active for the most by every day
Speaker 1: I try to get out and do something productive every day.
Speaker 1: So I'm doing all right? Tell me what is what
Speaker 1: is productive? Because today today I walked a little, so
Speaker 1: I understand productive to an extent, but that's like an
Speaker 1: hour of my day. And then I'll walk again later
Speaker 1: for an hour. But other than that, I'm staring at
Speaker 1: a wall. I have an eight month both daughters, so
Speaker 1: she keeps me up. I get a like seven am
Speaker 1: in the morning with her and then um my wife
Speaker 1: and I both pretty active, so we both work out.
Speaker 1: My wife has a trainer that she goes and works
Speaker 1: out with, and I have a couple of buddies out
Speaker 1: here in Dallas that he plays in the league as well,
Speaker 1: so you know, we still get our baseball activities in
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, conditioning instruction, throwing bull pens and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. But I mean, you know, I mean
Speaker 1: we've done everything inpland fishing, playing spike ball. What's that spikeball?
Speaker 1: So it's pretty much like the concept is similar to volleyball,
Speaker 1: except you hit a ball into like the trampoline looking
Speaker 1: type of thing and the same rules as a volleyball,
Speaker 1: but you have to look it up. You'd have to
Speaker 1: look It's pretty cool that they have an Instagram that
Speaker 1: you follow their instagram just some pretty instant spike ball games.
Speaker 1: But you can get after it with that game and
Speaker 1: it tires you out. Well, you had me a trampoline.
Speaker 1: Where have you been quarantining? Where? What city you? And
Speaker 1: I know you're originally from the West Coast like me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm from l A. But I live in a Dallas
Speaker 1: now pretty much downtown Dallas. Yeah, and you are now
Speaker 1: hold up with your wife and your kid. You said
Speaker 1: eight months old. I have a ten month old. So
Speaker 1: you've made me feel like I'm a deadbeat dad in
Speaker 1: the sense that I told you I stare at a
Speaker 1: wall and that you're good but at least you're still essential, right,
Speaker 1: That's true? People are starting here in your voice and
Speaker 1: just tell you able to do your job. So it's
Speaker 1: all good, that is true. Uh, tell me what it's
Speaker 1: like raising uh an eight month old in the middle
Speaker 1: of a pandemic. What I mean, is it they don't know? Right? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's actually pretty easy, you know. I mean, just like
Speaker 1: your two month old eight my eight month old, they
Speaker 1: don't have any college of what's going on, which is
Speaker 1: really cool. You know if like all my outdoor activities,
Speaker 1: I can take my daughter names Cary, so I can
Speaker 1: take her out for a ball. She's very observant, so
Speaker 1: she likes watch them, like the tree swinging through the
Speaker 1: breeds and hearing the birch chirp, you know, selling the grass.
Speaker 1: She's all She's at that stage right now. So it's
Speaker 1: been pretty easy. The only thing that I guess I've
Speaker 1: lacked is just un interaction with just like a huge
Speaker 1: group of people, you know what I mean. That's that's
Speaker 1: probably the only thing that I missed. But I've been
Speaker 1: fortunate to have good friends in my family around every day,
Speaker 1: so I've lucked out, you know, absolutely. Yeah. I feel
Speaker 1: like I've said it a couple of friends already. I'm
Speaker 1: like I would trade having the life of a ten
Speaker 1: on th old right now, because you're just sort of
Speaker 1: like are the gardeners coming? You know, like that's all
Speaker 1: they care about, is like can they watch just from
Speaker 1: the window. My my son loves watching leafblowers. It's like
Speaker 1: his whole thing, Like literally, it's his entire existence right now,
Speaker 1: is leafblowing. Yeah, I mean, otis are different. Definitely gonna
Speaker 1: be different for you indeed, because I mean I think
Speaker 1: that you guys have a you guys have a different
Speaker 1: standard of how you guys are going about your business
Speaker 1: in California rather than Dallas. Like you know, for the
Speaker 1: most part, the Texas governor it too called mandating staying
Speaker 1: staying at home and stuff like that. You know, he
Speaker 1: took that away. So and like I think all restaurants,
Speaker 1: neighboring restaurants are only old capacity. So you know, you're
Speaker 1: seeing people kind of get back into the groom of
Speaker 1: I guess what we used to call normal. It's a
Speaker 1: It's been pretty good man. You know, I haven't really
Speaker 1: had any complaints. By for the second, I've just you know,
Speaker 1: big chunk of my season so far. Yeah, have you
Speaker 1: went to one of those restaurants yet no, no, I
Speaker 1: refused to Man, I'm gonna wait to see if there's
Speaker 1: a second thing ais or the number such a spike
Speaker 1: after everyone starts to come out and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: My daughter was born premature, so I don't want to
Speaker 1: take any risks. What's my wife? She cooks a lot
Speaker 1: at home, my cook, so we're not really tripping off that.
Speaker 1: As long as we can get to Central marketing and
Speaker 1: get some get some good food and cook at home,
Speaker 1: we're fine. I did hear that you were into cooking.
Speaker 1: I am a terrible cook. I've just sounds like a joke,
Speaker 1: but I've only made ramen during quarantine for the family.
Speaker 1: My wife has done some great stuff. What have you
Speaker 1: gotten into during quarantine? As far as in the kitchen,
Speaker 1: we've done lost your pots. We've done steaks, We've been brisket,
Speaker 1: I mean, smoked salmon, all types of different stuff. The
Speaker 1: people will be coming to your place at it sounds
Speaker 1: like you were running a whole restaurant. I mean, I've
Speaker 1: told my life that we need get down in the kitchen. Man,
Speaker 1: she really does. But that's a lot of work right there. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: So I read that you're a big fan of movies.
Speaker 1: You love Denzel and Leo movies. I want to see
Speaker 1: if you picked up anything, watched anything new during this time.
Speaker 1: I started picking up a little bit on the West World. Okay,
Speaker 1: I literally feel like I spent more time on Netflix
Speaker 1: trying to find a movie and then actually watching one,
Speaker 1: so I haven't really had an opportunity to see you.
Speaker 1: The last thing that I watched through through was Tiger
Speaker 1: teen on Netflix. Tiger King and Ozark and West World.
Speaker 1: They all seem to be having quite quite a run
Speaker 1: in the pandemic. Everyone has gravitated towards them, which I
Speaker 1: think is pretty good. I mean, West World especially has
Speaker 1: has picked up at the end. I think it's kind
Speaker 1: of cool because I think you're interesting. Just to think
Speaker 1: about what our patre is gonna look like with AI,
Speaker 1: it's pretty interesting. But yeah, I'm not I'm not the
Speaker 1: hugest TV guy. I mean because I just think that
Speaker 1: movies nowadays they're not the same as when I was
Speaker 1: growing up. But not a lot of shows that really,
Speaker 1: you know, draw me in like that, or movies that
Speaker 1: really drawn me in. So I would say most of
Speaker 1: the stuff I've been watching are like Disney Titch films,
Speaker 1: you know, like old school West Coast movies. You went
Speaker 1: to Carson High School here on the West Coast. You've
Speaker 1: played in both Texas and Pittsburgh. You're now living in Texas.
Speaker 1: Both those places have decent food, including right there in
Speaker 1: your kitchen. But what do you miss eating the most
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles? No, she's probably in Japanese restaurant in
Speaker 1: l A. I missed this quality sushi. Man. Like, I'm
Speaker 1: ham Hawaiian and black, so I mean I love seafood.
Speaker 1: I love sushi specifically. I love really Japanese cuisine is
Speaker 1: probably one of my favorites to eat. So the place
Speaker 1: that I love that the restaurants called it's in l A.
Speaker 1: All right, I'm looking it up. That's probably that's what
Speaker 1: I missed. And I miss the child little burger two man, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you hit our two biggies between burgers and and sushi.
Speaker 1: I think those are the ones we can't You can't
Speaker 1: replicate those anywhere else. No, uh, And I mean like
Speaker 1: out here in Dallas, it's just not the same. Man Like,
Speaker 1: the food is decent, but it's not you know, it's
Speaker 1: not what I grew up to. You know, a lot
Speaker 1: of the food is text mix compared to just being
Speaker 1: true autentick Mexican food, so it just tastes different. Now.
Speaker 1: I ask every athlete who comes on to the No
Speaker 1: Sports Report that I know is a sneaker head, which
Speaker 1: I know you are, what have you been wearing with
Speaker 1: your quarantine kicks? And then I'll tell you something that
Speaker 1: I think together we have to work on as an intervention. Um.
Speaker 1: And I've been wearing I mean, I've been wearing flip
Speaker 1: flops pretty much every day since I don't you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. Yeah, I mean because there's nowhere really
Speaker 1: to go out. I guess my training. Shoot, when I lift,
Speaker 1: I lift in like easy three fifties that are just
Speaker 1: absolutely beat. But you know, I haven't been really wearing
Speaker 1: too much sheet Man because there's nowhere to go and
Speaker 1: I don't want to. I don't want to get anything dirty.
Speaker 1: You're right, I've been putting them on just for walks
Speaker 1: with my dog and stuff, just to make myself feel
Speaker 1: like I have some sort of style. But but we
Speaker 1: did talk to Gavin Lux, who clearly is this, you know,
Speaker 1: high end prospect on the Dodger as he's supposed to
Speaker 1: be Rookie of the Year. But he told me that
Speaker 1: he's been wearing crocs. Yeah, I don't. I don't want
Speaker 1: to pull across good Good. I knew I liked KI.
Speaker 1: I've heard people tell me that they're very, very comfortable.
Speaker 1: I just haven't. That's not really my style. So I've
Speaker 1: never really uh never got into them. But like I
Speaker 1: have my little brother, he wears like berking Stocks. My
Speaker 1: sister wears birkin Stocks, and you know, has crocs and stuff.
Speaker 1: But I've never got into that that wave. But it's
Speaker 1: not knocking in you know what I mean? Whatever flows
Speaker 1: people's boat, man, if you feel fresh in it? Do
Speaker 1: you think I don't know Gavin Lucks, I don't. I
Speaker 1: feel like he could be hitting harder than CrOx. But
Speaker 1: you are a rare breed in professional sports where you
Speaker 1: have no social media? Have you have? You almost broke
Speaker 1: down during quarantine and opened one up. I actually just
Speaker 1: started one. This is the fact that, you know, for
Speaker 1: my whole career, you know, six seven months out of
Speaker 1: a year, I'm a blongst thousands of people pretty much
Speaker 1: every day depending on what city I'm in, and everyone
Speaker 1: can look at the calendar and see where I'm gonna be.
Speaker 1: Not that I'm like a I'm not like a superstar
Speaker 1: anything like that, but you know, I still I don't
Speaker 1: want to. I don't make myself accessible anymore than I
Speaker 1: already am, you know, And so that's why I've always
Speaker 1: kind of kept the low pro on social media and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. But I mean, I'm trying to get
Speaker 1: into it because I'm understanding the benefit of having a
Speaker 1: social media now these days. So I've tried to engage
Speaker 1: myself into it, and I would say I was kind
Speaker 1: of failed at it because I don't post daily, and
Speaker 1: that's the thing too, And I also don't like posting
Speaker 1: things of like monetary value or stuff like that for
Speaker 1: the most part, because it just send the wrong It
Speaker 1: was sens the wrong message. And it also allows people
Speaker 1: to kind of have insight on what what you're doing
Speaker 1: and what you have. And you know, growing up in Cali,
Speaker 1: growing up in l A, you know, the values that
Speaker 1: I was raised on, and just from growing up in
Speaker 1: the environment I grew up in, you know, those were
Speaker 1: no nose, sweet flashy, I totally get it now. Back
Speaker 1: in February in spring training, you missed a few days
Speaker 1: with a viral infection. You had gotten sick. Are you
Speaker 1: looking back at that now and wondering what that virus was. Man,
Speaker 1: I think I had COVID. Man, I'm not playing. I
Speaker 1: think I had corona. Really yeah, So what did you
Speaker 1: what were what were you feeling? Man? I was like,
Speaker 1: I was just really lethargic. I had a hard time breathing.
Speaker 1: I would have I was having like cold sweats and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. Was like I would get the shakes,
Speaker 1: um had a loss of breath. But I mean I
Speaker 1: snapped out of it in two days, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. So I mean that's just me saying I
Speaker 1: think I had it, you know, but I don't really know.
Speaker 1: I never went and got to the test so they
Speaker 1: can see if I had that anybody. So I didn't
Speaker 1: see if I hadn't anything like that, So I don't
Speaker 1: really know. I was in a similar situation. I didn't
Speaker 1: have it, but I had a coworker who back in
Speaker 1: the end of January was coughing and wheezing and couldn't
Speaker 1: catch her breath. And at the time we were like, oh, man,
Speaker 1: you're having a terrible cold or a flu or something,
Speaker 1: and we all stayed away from her. But then when
Speaker 1: you look back, you're like, oh, these people definitely a coronavirus.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I think December January and you had anything
Speaker 1: close to what they described as having COVID and you
Speaker 1: probably had it. Yeah, probably, you know, of course, it
Speaker 1: just hits people differently. Did your wife or your family
Speaker 1: have to get tested? No, No, not at all. I've
Speaker 1: been fortunate, man. Everyone's had really didn't help and haven't
Speaker 1: had to worry about anything like that. So we've all
Speaker 1: been good, which you know, was a blessing. During the offseason,
Speaker 1: you've been really vocal about feeling like you've matured a
Speaker 1: lot in the last year, and coming into you had
Speaker 1: a new slate with the Pirates, with a new front office,
Speaker 1: a new pitching coach, and this new one year deal,
Speaker 1: which was kind of great for you. It seemed like
Speaker 1: you were starting to find your place Pittsburgh. Does it
Speaker 1: bump you out to sort of postpone showing to the
Speaker 1: fans that personal growth? Yeah, it does, just because I
Speaker 1: just think that I've kind of generated a specific narrative
Speaker 1: about who I am one because of the moxie that
Speaker 1: I have. I'm on the mound, and you know, that's
Speaker 1: the only thing that creates any relatability is what people
Speaker 1: see on the field, and it m demeanor and how
Speaker 1: I go about my business when I'm pitching, and I
Speaker 1: have nothing else to kind of back up my character,
Speaker 1: you know, So me not having a social media doesn't
Speaker 1: get the or any you know, social platforms, where as
Speaker 1: an outlet where I can show my character, you know,
Speaker 1: the type of father that I am, the things that
Speaker 1: I take interest in it. So I really wanted to
Speaker 1: change the narrative, not only in Pittsburgh, but as well
Speaker 1: as across the league. You know, I would say in
Speaker 1: the game, people have kind of pinned me as a
Speaker 1: guy that has is aggressive or has this bad boy
Speaker 1: I guess mentality or whatever they I don't know, whatever
Speaker 1: people want to call it, you know what I mean. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, I was really excited to kind of change
Speaker 1: the narrative and rewrite the story moving forward with my
Speaker 1: free agency or coming up and yeah, everything else included. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I was going to talk to you about that,
Speaker 1: like you're a free agent at the end of this year.
Speaker 1: Obviously the Pittsburgh option is up. Does the concept of
Speaker 1: a shorter season or changing the variance once or if
Speaker 1: the season comes back, like no fans or shorter you
Speaker 1: know where you'll be playing. Does that scare or affect
Speaker 1: you kind of in business? No, not, not really. I
Speaker 1: mean I know that it could definitely have the trickle
Speaker 1: down effects like a free agency in terms of like
Speaker 1: contracts and stuff like that. But I'm not really too
Speaker 1: concerned about it because you know, I'm not the only
Speaker 1: one that's going through this, you know, so there's other
Speaker 1: people that get that are going through this strange situation,
Speaker 1: and I just want to get out there and play.
Speaker 1: I don't really care too much if they are fans
Speaker 1: or not. I think if you get you know the
Speaker 1: world's greatest players around in one area to play games
Speaker 1: with no fans, you'll really see who has you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, day and day out, rather than you know,
Speaker 1: when you show at the other state and you have
Speaker 1: fifty fans dreaming. It gives you a little bit different
Speaker 1: types of energy, you know what I mean. You don't
Speaker 1: really have to dig deep because you have that that
Speaker 1: electricity and the atmosphere. But if you're showing up and
Speaker 1: in Arizona, you know, and you're playing with no fans,
Speaker 1: you know, you really have to dive deep every single
Speaker 1: day you step into that mount on that mount or
Speaker 1: in that box and really figure out what you're made of.
Speaker 1: So I don't mind it either way. You know, I
Speaker 1: just want to get out of playball and you know,
Speaker 1: do what I've been practicing my whole life. You know,
Speaker 1: I mean to go show to the world what I've
Speaker 1: been doing and continue to pursue, you know, all the
Speaker 1: things that I wanted to do in my life. In
Speaker 1: this game. Yeah, well, speaking of that, you were set
Speaker 1: to be the opening day closer for the team, which
Speaker 1: is something you were definitely building on. You wanted to
Speaker 1: to get back to that position. How are you trying
Speaker 1: to stay warm and get in pitches for that opportunity?
Speaker 1: Like this is sort of what you've been asking for
Speaker 1: since the trade, I mean, other than working out, Like mentally,
Speaker 1: what what is it that you're sticking with, especially as
Speaker 1: a closer, which is its own mentality. I mean, I
Speaker 1: did it before in Texas, then I did it in
Speaker 1: the minor leagues, So I've had like the same intra
Speaker 1: for the most part, his first pitch strikes and three outs,
Speaker 1: And that's always been something that I've always told myself
Speaker 1: that's been repetitive in my mindset. So since this quarantine
Speaker 1: has happened, I've kind of just I've just throwing to
Speaker 1: bowlpends of meique and trying to stay on point with
Speaker 1: throwing game, like a density and trying to stay locked in.
Speaker 1: I mean even bringing up like mock statters and stuff
Speaker 1: like that and pitching to them how I would pitch
Speaker 1: them if we were in season, you know, with sequences
Speaker 1: and certain pitches and stuff like that. Sure. Have you
Speaker 1: been in contact with coaches during the quarantine as well? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we have coaching staff, medical staff and given our GM
Speaker 1: it has reached out, which has been, uh, has been
Speaker 1: really nice. You know, they've been really consistent on reaching
Speaker 1: out to us, giving us information as soon as they
Speaker 1: get information, as well as spreadsheets on you know, throwing programs,
Speaker 1: are weight training and conditioning. Coaches also sent out you know,
Speaker 1: spreadsheet on how to continuously stay engage with your your
Speaker 1: workouts and stuff like that all the way up until
Speaker 1: the end of this month. So they've done a really
Speaker 1: good job facilitating, you know, gain all the guys to
Speaker 1: be collective. You know, we were just on a zoom
Speaker 1: call last Thursday where we had the whole bull been together,
Speaker 1: so you know, everyone's a gage, everyone's on point, you know,
Speaker 1: it was pretty cool to get guys from r guys
Speaker 1: at Rhode Island, California, Texas, San Diego, all over the world.
Speaker 1: You know who who managed to be able to show
Speaker 1: up one guys zoom call at the same time. So
Speaker 1: it's awesome. That was really good. Well, you can teach
Speaker 1: some spike ball when you're back in season. I think
Speaker 1: that's something that we should we should keep around as well.
Speaker 1: But speaking of that, is there anything that you think
Speaker 1: that we've picked up during quarantine as a society that
Speaker 1: you think we should continue to do once the vaccine
Speaker 1: appears or we're all allowed outside. Yeah. I think the
Speaker 1: biggest thing that we can type in the situation is
Speaker 1: to realize what is immediately important. I think that a
Speaker 1: lot of people have actually engaged more than ever been
Speaker 1: prior before, you know, because when our world was running,
Speaker 1: you just kept going keet and kept going. People lost
Speaker 1: a sense of like really who we were just as
Speaker 1: human beings. People have just really sit down and enjoy
Speaker 1: their families, go for walks. I mean the block that
Speaker 1: I live on, it felt like I was a kid,
Speaker 1: you know, like where everyone was outside and saying just
Speaker 1: simple gestures of hello while you're walking on the street.
Speaker 1: I just think the biggest thing that people can take
Speaker 1: from it is is understanding what's truly important, you know,
Speaker 1: and that like a lot of the things that we
Speaker 1: felt we're the most important, like monetary things really hold
Speaker 1: no hold no true value in a in a global pandemic.
Speaker 1: And there's no better time to make that kind of
Speaker 1: revelation than having a newborn. I feel the same way
Speaker 1: as you as being a dad. It's like no better
Speaker 1: time for me to readjust my thoughts. Yeah, and I
Speaker 1: mean I've definitely had to reassess just a lot of
Speaker 1: things on you know, I would say too, like I
Speaker 1: already loved the game of baseball, but I think they
Speaker 1: reignited a fire for me just to kind of realize
Speaker 1: a lot of different things that I may have taken
Speaker 1: for granted, including even a baseball because I think that
Speaker 1: when you do something repetitively or are you get into
Speaker 1: the constistency of something, it becomes the norm and it
Speaker 1: doesn't you don't have that same smart for us at
Speaker 1: certain point. I mean, even I'm sure with what you do,
Speaker 1: you're probably a bit certain gigs like man, I don't
Speaker 1: I don't want to show to the studio today. But
Speaker 1: it's just it is what it is. Yeah, No, I
Speaker 1: I had a podcast for ten years, trust me. I
Speaker 1: was figuring out how I could break my computer to
Speaker 1: make it stop. I'm gonna get into some suggestions for you,
Speaker 1: things that that I came up with during quarantine. Doesn't
Speaker 1: sound like you need a lot of help between fishing
Speaker 1: and spike ball and such, but here are some suggestions
Speaker 1: of things that I think you can get into. Things
Speaker 1: you could pick up if you find yourself board at
Speaker 1: anytime you into these. Is this cool? Yeah for sure? Alright. One,
Speaker 1: you are a hip hop head like myself. It's what
Speaker 1: I like most in life. I figured I could give
Speaker 1: you one suggestion. Are you listening to Denzel Curry? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I listen. List Okay, Okay, So people who don't know
Speaker 1: don't know, we'll we'll clue them. In a little out
Speaker 1: of Florida, he came up in the Space Ghost perp camp.
Speaker 1: Originally he lived with Xxx Tentato, who people know unfortunately
Speaker 1: from Infamous Things. But he released a few albums that
Speaker 1: really hit his stride recently in two thousand eighteen, Taboo,
Speaker 1: which is spelled weird because that's what rap kids do.
Speaker 1: These days, t A one, three oh oh, and then
Speaker 1: zoo Zuu in two thousand nineteen, and then he just
Speaker 1: put out an album I love in Quarantine. It's so
Speaker 1: good with Kenny beats called Unlocked. All of it great,
Speaker 1: sounds a bit like dm X at times, but he
Speaker 1: completely changes styles song to songs. So I'm happy you
Speaker 1: are into Denzel. Yeah, yeah, I liked it all. The
Speaker 1: reason I think I appreciate if the Boss as all
Speaker 1: lyricis because sometimes I really clear his content. But just
Speaker 1: for his uh, it's the fact that he can switch
Speaker 1: up its flow. It's very impressive to me. I agree.
Speaker 1: That's one of my favorite things about him is that
Speaker 1: he can switch up his flow. And I think his
Speaker 1: visuals are really really cool. It's weird, like they're very dark,
Speaker 1: but they're very deep. Is there anyone that you got
Speaker 1: into during Quarantine that you want to put people up on?
Speaker 1: The guy that's really big kind of just getting me through.
Speaker 1: I would say it's like old school Cole, J Cole,
Speaker 1: Old school J Cole and a little bit of UM.
Speaker 1: I've been listening a lot of soft walking. I'm out
Speaker 1: here in Dallas, so I've been listening a lot of
Speaker 1: Southern rap. But I mean, my go to dudes are
Speaker 1: always gonna be like Draco the Ruler. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: a Caliking, so you know I love all the underground
Speaker 1: l A scene and all that stuff. That's that's just
Speaker 1: for my vibe that I upon. I'm into it. I'm
Speaker 1: into it. Okay. So second suggestion, I know we've seen
Speaker 1: some people get under your skin in the past, most
Speaker 1: specifically maybe some in Red's jerseys. But I have a
Speaker 1: perfect way to relax during the pandemic and release some stress.
Speaker 1: Intention Have you ever tried or a gami or a gamy? Yes, never,
Speaker 1: I've never tried. Very easy for the pandemic. All you
Speaker 1: need are scissors and paper. There are tons of great
Speaker 1: resources online about how to create these. Dude, I thought
Speaker 1: you were talking about artists. I'm tripping, yeah, or going
Speaker 1: I know how to make a paper Okay, alright, good?
Speaker 1: Do you just little paper sculptures? I learned I learned
Speaker 1: in fourth grade and Mr Plows class because uh when
Speaker 1: we did uh so you know, nine and Livin happened,
Speaker 1: and um, I think they said there's like three thousand
Speaker 1: people that passed away during that time of that event,
Speaker 1: and so our entire class at our elementary. We made
Speaker 1: three thousands paper crane great and like hung them up
Speaker 1: and like put like little a little string through all
Speaker 1: of them and hung in like you know, color no
Speaker 1: with crayon color pols and stuff like that, Crayola marketers
Speaker 1: or whatever, hung them up. So yeah, it's good for
Speaker 1: times of tragedy. I'm telling you see. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: I'm throwing that in the mix. And lastly, as I said,
Speaker 1: you were announced as the opening day closer for the
Speaker 1: Pirates last season. You were in set up, so you
Speaker 1: have a big decision to make for when the season starts.
Speaker 1: What will your walkout song be? This is a very
Speaker 1: big deal. Uh. Someone like Mariano Rivera made a whole
Speaker 1: career out of enter Sandman. I think you have the
Speaker 1: same opportunity. So I want to give you three suggestions
Speaker 1: for what I think can signal that you're about to
Speaker 1: end the game. Okay, I already have it, but i'll
Speaker 1: tell you. All right, I'll give you three suggestions and
Speaker 1: you can you can reveal what it is because maybe
Speaker 1: I nailed it, maybe I got it. Okay. The first one,
Speaker 1: it's by the doors. It's called this is the End
Speaker 1: and it's just it just goes this is the end. No, no,
Speaker 1: no no, And it's just it basically is it's just
Speaker 1: telling people that this is the end. That's a good one. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's a good one. I got his vital at home,
Speaker 1: all right, good suggestion. Then second one public enemy shut
Speaker 1: him down, and that just goes shut him down, shut
Speaker 1: him shut him down, shut him down. It's just it's
Speaker 1: just bas Okay, all right, I'll take that. And then lastly,
Speaker 1: this one is a little little not traditional. This one's
Speaker 1: a little off kilter. It's Daughters by John Mayer. Okay
Speaker 1: for me, I like John Bart but it makes you
Speaker 1: a little depressed. All right, okay, that makes sense. You know.
Speaker 1: It was just it was a good it was a
Speaker 1: good song about women. But sure I agree with you. Okay,
Speaker 1: what is your what is your closing song? Yeah, but
Speaker 1: ambition as a writer. Just an intro by two great song,
Speaker 1: great intro dare and then I think you have which
Speaker 1: is a fuss it yep? Or wasn't that guy who
Speaker 1: hits the let's getting ready to Michael Buffer? Yeah, Michael Buffer,
Speaker 1: Michael Buffer. Yeah. So all right, that's that's that's been
Speaker 1: my walkout I had catch up fire yep by rookie year.
Speaker 1: But I've been doing to vicious as a writer for
Speaker 1: the last four years, five years. I love it. Well,
Speaker 1: I'll be I'll be watching as soon as baseball starts.
Speaker 1: I'm excited for for you to take the mound and
Speaker 1: start closing out that ninth And thanks for talking to me, man,
Speaker 1: and stay healthy with the with the eight month old
Speaker 1: and your wife and keep cooking. Yeah you as well man.
Speaker 1: You know, blessing says to you and your family. And
Speaker 1: I hope very big caused to progress out there in Cali.
Speaker 1: And hopefully when I come by the Dodgers, you know,
Speaker 1: we can meet up or something like that. Get some sushi. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was good at me. Have a good one, brother.
Speaker 1: After this my pandemic chat with the very funny Terren
Speaker 1: kill him right now. Feeding America is working tirelessly to
Speaker 1: ensure our most vulnerable populations, like students who were out
Speaker 1: of school, the elderly individuals whose jobs are in acted,
Speaker 1: and low income families continue to have access to food
Speaker 1: and other needed resources during the COVID nineteen pandemic. The
Speaker 1: Feeding America Food Bank Network is committed to serving communities
Speaker 1: and people facing hunger in America, and their greatest need
Speaker 1: is donations and support of local food banks. This podcast
Speaker 1: is committed to donating a portion of the proceeds from
Speaker 1: the show to Feeding America, and we hope that you
Speaker 1: can join us in this effort to find out how
Speaker 1: you can help Feeding America dot org. Backslash covid nineteen
Speaker 1: now Here's My Pandemic Chat with comedy star in l
Speaker 1: a Ram season ticket holder tar and kill Him from
Speaker 1: to accept Press one. Hey buddy, Hey, how's it going, dude?
Speaker 1: I'm good. Well, first I wanted to ask where you're
Speaker 1: quarantined and how it's going. I am in Pacific Palisades
Speaker 1: in my home. Sure, sure, And I would say in
Speaker 1: terms of, you know, the scale of quarantine, it's going fine.
Speaker 1: It's going fine. We have a fifth grader who, unfortunately,
Speaker 1: you know, for sort of last third of her school
Speaker 1: year was sort of you know, not canceled because she's
Speaker 1: still doing it online, but she was doing a production
Speaker 1: of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and that got canceled.
Speaker 1: And because she's a fifth grader, they do a whole
Speaker 1: big culmination thing, like a moving up ceremony, and so
Speaker 1: that's going to be done virtually and obviously doesn't have
Speaker 1: the same bum or or a feeling of achievement, I
Speaker 1: think for for the kids. So that those are that's
Speaker 1: our darkness. But otherwise we're doing all right and where
Speaker 1: we are being pretty strict about the stand at home
Speaker 1: part of it. So are we? I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: we have an eleven month old. So I've said it
Speaker 1: a million times on this podcast, but we can hand
Speaker 1: him like an envelope and he's he's thrilled. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Criles, Yeah,
Speaker 1: just this works. I guess like you guys went from
Speaker 1: both being your wife and you both actors and you know,
Speaker 1: sort of living a client kind of fast life in Hollywood,
Speaker 1: working a lot, and then next thing, you know, your teachers.
Speaker 1: I mean, has that been so weird? I would argue
Speaker 1: that that is kind of to us been a benefit
Speaker 1: for a few reasons. Both Kobe and I kind of
Speaker 1: finished our our regular gigs a couple of weeks before
Speaker 1: the lockdown officially began, so this would have been downtime
Speaker 1: for us anyway. There was there was another job that
Speaker 1: I was to have started, which has been delayed, but
Speaker 1: almost immediately both Kobe and I were saying to each other,
Speaker 1: we know that some part of us will really like
Speaker 1: always be grateful and kind of missed this time for
Speaker 1: the intimacy with with our family, the family time and
Speaker 1: doing you know, the fifth grade. There's only so much
Speaker 1: we can help with. And then we have a five
Speaker 1: year old and goes to this wonderful preschool and they've
Speaker 1: been doing a good job of kind of trying to
Speaker 1: facilitate like meetings, morning meetings and then story time, but
Speaker 1: it's really hard to get a five year old like zoom,
Speaker 1: yeah or sit down. So Kobe actually ordered a bunch
Speaker 1: of highlights magazine like workbooks. Yeah, like spot the difference
Speaker 1: in the pictures and trace the letters and really like
Speaker 1: in a very impressive way, became teacher mom. And yeah,
Speaker 1: it's this valuable experience that under the quote unquote normal
Speaker 1: circumstances would not have been made available to us. So
Speaker 1: I we we will definitely look back at at this
Speaker 1: time and go, oh, my gosh, just how crazy that
Speaker 1: the world shut down like that, that everything came to
Speaker 1: a halt, and I anticipated being a fascinating struggle to
Speaker 1: get back to normalcy. But I do know, just just
Speaker 1: for us and our family will go. Thank goodness, we
Speaker 1: had all that time together. Yeah. Well, let's get into sports.
Speaker 1: You are the biggest Los Angeles Rams fan. I know,
Speaker 1: possibly anyone knows if they follow you on Instagram. The
Speaker 1: season is not yet been touched because we're looking at
Speaker 1: end of the year stuff. But I want, I want
Speaker 1: to hear your your thoughts if if your sport come
Speaker 1: September was taken away from you. Is this something you're
Speaker 1: concerned about. Yeah, not in a way that I would
Speaker 1: be up an arm. I feel like I've had a
Speaker 1: pretty healthy perspective on the reasons for for these lockdowns
Speaker 1: and tempolations of large prop apendance. You know, people dying
Speaker 1: is very low on my list of warrant sure, but
Speaker 1: I'm all also say, I'm a human, and I would
Speaker 1: and they would certainly be disappointment more than, like, more
Speaker 1: than the disappointment of not having football in my life,
Speaker 1: which I do love. It is such a comforting, exciting,
Speaker 1: fun thing. The biggest disappointment would be, and it's kind
Speaker 1: of already been confirmed, is the delay or lockout of
Speaker 1: Sofi Stadium. You know, we bought our Taylor Swift tickets.
Speaker 1: We're going to be going in July. That was the
Speaker 1: first big event that was going to happen that's now
Speaker 1: been pushed. So so if the curve is truly flattened
Speaker 1: and we figured things about that, people are responsible and
Speaker 1: if by you know, maybe maybe we skip preseason. But
Speaker 1: you know, if the first kind of gathering event and
Speaker 1: so far as a ramp game, that's very exciting to me.
Speaker 1: It'll be like, oh my gosh, I've been waiting for
Speaker 1: that stadium to open for so long. I've like quote
Speaker 1: unquote owned my seats for two and a half years
Speaker 1: now or something, um, and for that to be pushed
Speaker 1: would stink. But they'll still be there, Yeah, I guess too.
Speaker 1: Like the question is, and you and I probably have
Speaker 1: similar thoughts on this because we're somewhat grounded about sports
Speaker 1: and understand, you know, its place in life. But like,
Speaker 1: it is so odd to see how much of society
Speaker 1: has really pushed for sports to come back, Like it's
Speaker 1: the thing we all need to feel regular. And I'm
Speaker 1: not sure when that when that started, how that happened,
Speaker 1: but it is super odd. Yes, my long held theory
Speaker 1: is that life is just like a bigger microcosm of
Speaker 1: high school. Right, So I feel it's traditional nostalgia comfort.
Speaker 1: It's it's hero worship that starts at your most pubescent
Speaker 1: in pre pubescent age of like value in high school.
Speaker 1: Within you know, shades of disagreement is being the star
Speaker 1: athletes at school. That is that that's the person who
Speaker 1: you aspire to be, Like, that's the person you aspire
Speaker 1: to know. And I think like somehow that is related.
Speaker 1: I don't, you know, I clearly haven't to find it precisely,
Speaker 1: but but it's something to do with that. It's also
Speaker 1: like it's it's so leisurely, it's so people are so
Speaker 1: okay to gather or spend money or talk about that
Speaker 1: it's something that you don't have to put into really,
Speaker 1: and I think that that that that I'm noticing more
Speaker 1: and more is a very American thing. I want my
Speaker 1: saying that I don't have to put into the makes
Speaker 1: me feel good. Yeah, And that definitely has been sports displace,
Speaker 1: it seems. And and at the beginning of the pandemic,
Speaker 1: RAMS fans like yourself saw what I thought was at
Speaker 1: one point unthinkable, which is the Rams releasing Todd Gurley
Speaker 1: in March at the beginning of this whole thing, only
Speaker 1: twenty five years old. He now seems to have no
Speaker 1: place in the NFL, which is never a good feeling
Speaker 1: if you really think about it. What was your thoughts
Speaker 1: on Gurley going into did you did you assume there's
Speaker 1: no way? Yeah? I I certainly was shocked by that
Speaker 1: and just sat because whatever the behind the scenes health
Speaker 1: issue is and and they try to sort of make
Speaker 1: it seem in the release that that possibly personalities played
Speaker 1: into it as well or as much as health. But
Speaker 1: it's got to be health. It's got to be health, um,
Speaker 1: which is horrible and awful and like truly the worst
Speaker 1: part of football is that it's almost a given that
Speaker 1: somehow your body will not be in you know, the
Speaker 1: same it was before playing the sport for in only
Speaker 1: a bad way. I do love that our talks have
Speaker 1: been pandemic and the problems with playing in the NFL.
Speaker 1: We are really on an uplifting tip here. This is
Speaker 1: such a feel good podcast right now. Uh. They did
Speaker 1: they also, I mean not to keep the Tones sad,
Speaker 1: but they lost a bunch of players in the off season.
Speaker 1: They did not focus on any sort of signing, struggling
Speaker 1: under the financial weight of Golf and Cooks. Uh, They've
Speaker 1: been silent this offseason. Are you super bummed? Even if
Speaker 1: even if you know something to focus on. I feel
Speaker 1: like there's gotta be somebody in the admin building who's
Speaker 1: kind of grateful for this pandemic and the delay. Um.
Speaker 1: I think the business side of it is, hey, listen,
Speaker 1: this is the year we've been building towards. I think
Speaker 1: we probably made some financial and business strategy misses, but
Speaker 1: we've still got a new stadium. It's going to be
Speaker 1: the hip is coolest, most state of the art gathering place.
Speaker 1: That's enough energy, and the rest will kind of we
Speaker 1: need to just sort of, you know, take our licks
Speaker 1: and sleep in the bed we made. Basically. Uh, Corey
Speaker 1: Littleton is probably like the biggest loss strategically. I think
Speaker 1: I don't think he got enough credit when he was
Speaker 1: on the team. And even though he got credit, I
Speaker 1: think I think he really like made or broke games
Speaker 1: for us. Girly leaving is so sad just because he
Speaker 1: did such incredible things for the team. But I do
Speaker 1: think we still have a chance of being competitive. Um,
Speaker 1: But a lot of pressure as a fan, A lot
Speaker 1: of pressure seems to fall on on mcveigh's shoulders now,
Speaker 1: which is like Okay, you've made these big moves, you
Speaker 1: made these strategies, and you've kind of you kind of
Speaker 1: now have the staff that you wanted. In losing Wade
Speaker 1: Phillips and stuff like that, there's a lot of young
Speaker 1: hires that seemed to be his call. It's like, you know,
Speaker 1: all right, let's let's see if you truly are the
Speaker 1: wonder Kins. You know, yeah, well you know if if,
Speaker 1: if the this is going to be on the coach's shoulders.
Speaker 1: The off season has purely been a stare at the
Speaker 1: graphic designers. Uh. The Rams jerseys took up ESPNS front
Speaker 1: page for I don't know four or five days. They
Speaker 1: had Eric Dickerson's comments. They I mean they went into
Speaker 1: the well with no information out there for sports. They
Speaker 1: were like, we got to talk about this. What are
Speaker 1: your thoughts on on the jerseys that include a color
Speaker 1: called bone white? Yes? So I like the sand I
Speaker 1: like the bone white. Like those those jerseys I kind
Speaker 1: of dig and I bought one of those. I bought
Speaker 1: a Cooper Cup bone white. There was like, you know,
Speaker 1: the Reddit release which shook the hat with the sort
Speaker 1: of like the three sections horn, yes, which just like
Speaker 1: cutting it up into those three sections like that. I
Speaker 1: know you're trying to give it dimension, but it just
Speaker 1: looks so similar to a Charger's lightning bolt to me.
Speaker 1: So it's just like that just feels like a very
Speaker 1: big that in particular, that new Rams horn just feels
Speaker 1: like you're now playing in a stadium with the team
Speaker 1: whose helmet looks most identical to yours. It seems like
Speaker 1: a very early meeting. Note Yeah, I mean like first
Speaker 1: draft stuff. Now the the Rams head, the new Rams head,
Speaker 1: I do dig like. I think that's one of the
Speaker 1: things that Diggerson said was like, I'm okay with this one.
Speaker 1: But my favorite part of the whole thing was that
Speaker 1: the new look was released with a video was like
Speaker 1: a lead up video, and the person who designed it
Speaker 1: is like a Nike employee because they have, you know,
Speaker 1: all these business deals in place, and he's like, I
Speaker 1: just love turning in the final version because I just
Speaker 1: knew we got it right. Like that's his actual direct quote.
Speaker 1: He definitely set himself up. Speaking of changes for the Rams,
Speaker 1: they drafted a guy named cam Ackers. Now they have
Speaker 1: a bit of a crowded backfield with Henderson and Brown
Speaker 1: and stuff fighting for that girly spot. Is there someone
Speaker 1: you hope kind of out of those three pops up.
Speaker 1: I really really like c J A lot um I
Speaker 1: don't know, and like college football overwhelms me. Um. I
Speaker 1: was really hoping for a higher draft wide receiver actually,
Speaker 1: just to just to get somebody tall, because you know,
Speaker 1: we have really great, kind of scrappy slot receivers. But
Speaker 1: like DK Metcalf, what he did for Seattle last year
Speaker 1: was so fun to watch and I just I just
Speaker 1: like he caught my eye right at the combine. So
Speaker 1: I was hoping for somebody like that. I think we
Speaker 1: really started struggling with a key to lead got hurt.
Speaker 1: That's kind of where things I felt the biggest shift
Speaker 1: because he was such a great leader, such a great player. Um.
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm looking for that secondary to kind
Speaker 1: of step up and fill in those missing gaps, particularly
Speaker 1: with Littleton gone. Now well, speaking of gaps and filling in,
Speaker 1: are you at all in favor of signing Jameis Winston.
Speaker 1: It's been talked about, it has been rumored about. You know,
Speaker 1: Cam Newton's names thrown around a little bit, but not
Speaker 1: so much for the Rams, but Jameis Winston for some reason,
Speaker 1: lingering around the rams to compete with golf? Is that
Speaker 1: what you're kind of hoping for? No, I'm not, I'm
Speaker 1: out like Anti. I had Jamie's last year for Final Fantasy,
Speaker 1: and he was like just as inconsistent as god, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like some weeks extraordinary and then
Speaker 1: other weeks full dog, just a big old goose egge.
Speaker 1: So you know, I think I think we goffs our
Speaker 1: guy like I'm I'm in with golf, and I hope
Speaker 1: that he can kind of like step up in a
Speaker 1: major way this next season, just with sort of like
Speaker 1: route reading and reading the field and moving in the pocket.
Speaker 1: Because when when the play goes according to plan, he's
Speaker 1: exceptionally good. But I think the second that there's any
Speaker 1: sort of unforeseen pressure and you have to improvise, that
Speaker 1: seemingly seems to be where where you know, he maybe
Speaker 1: struggles a little bit, And I hope that you know
Speaker 1: that that complaint goes away with just a little more experience. Well,
Speaker 1: I do know that we are, you know, very rare
Speaker 1: in the comedy world, because you you mentioned Jamison said
Speaker 1: that you had him in Final Fantasy, which shows this
Speaker 1: Zen diagram where we meet in middle of video games
Speaker 1: and sports. So I appreciate that. I appreciate the mistake.
Speaker 1: I appreciate the mistake, but it does show that we
Speaker 1: are cut from the same cloth. I will take. I've
Speaker 1: been playing the remake. I've out all sorts of disappointments
Speaker 1: with the remakes. People like it though, it's beautiful, it's fun.
Speaker 1: I just like I was too far gone into it
Speaker 1: before I realized, like, oh, this isn't the whole game.
Speaker 1: This isn't the full game that I remember and love,
Speaker 1: and too much of that experience from the original was
Speaker 1: like going to the Golden Circle and breeding Choka Booze
Speaker 1: and flying in the airship and you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Like that that to just stay in Midguar for you know,
Speaker 1: forty fifty hours. It's beautiful and it's great, but but
Speaker 1: I don't know, and I think I'm ultimately left with
Speaker 1: a little disappointment. What as we wrap up, what are
Speaker 1: your video game what is your quarantine looks? What have
Speaker 1: you been playing outside of Final Fantasy. I've been doing
Speaker 1: a lot of Fortnite because it's just a great social game.
Speaker 1: You're good at it. I'm decent. I wouldn't say that
Speaker 1: I'm good but I am decent. I can. I'm a
Speaker 1: top ten finisher every round. Good for you. Yeah, I've
Speaker 1: tried it and I've been okay, but I'm like, oh boy,
Speaker 1: this is not for me. You've got to do the
Speaker 1: building drills. You've got to set the controller to build
Speaker 1: a preference so that you can just hit the triggers
Speaker 1: and you know, build your tower once you're in in
Speaker 1: a close close quarters dog by you. Yet already too
Speaker 1: much for me, already already above my skill set, understood, understood.
Speaker 1: Breath of the Wild was with the game in the
Speaker 1: last two years. That just took away my life. It's
Speaker 1: just it, just a month of my life was gone. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well animal crossing. Did you get an animal crossing? I'm
Speaker 1: afraid of it for the same reason. Yeah, they'll eat
Speaker 1: you alive. Well, Taren, thank you for talking to me,
Speaker 1: and I'm looking forward to seeing you on Instagram wearing
Speaker 1: the new jerseys and really look into the fields, buddy.
