Speaker 1: Welcome to the Sports Bubble, a production of I Heart
Speaker 1: Radio Entree Fork Media. My name is Jensen carp and
Speaker 1: I'm a sports fan. And yes, it appears our wildest
Speaker 1: dreams have come true. And by some grace of God
Speaker 1: and the protection of forcing grown adults to stay in
Speaker 1: a hotel room with little to no contact with their
Speaker 1: loved ones, we are about to see major professional sports return.
Speaker 1: We've lost some big names to personal decisions and positive tests,
Speaker 1: and we've already seen home run balls just slowly trickled
Speaker 1: down the stands without anyone trying to take it home.
Speaker 1: So it's all happening. But I still wonder, just because
Speaker 1: they're playing, is it the sport we know and love.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I've spoken to one person on this
Speaker 1: podcast who knows what they're in for and how this
Speaker 1: will all play out. Only time will tell, and for once,
Speaker 1: I'm going to stay optimistic. But I'm still interviewing athletes
Speaker 1: and sports industry professionals to find out what they're doing
Speaker 1: during this very weird time because someone has to. This
Speaker 1: is the Sports Bubble with Jensen Carton. The first sport
Speaker 1: to return to quote unquote normalcy was NWSL, the national
Speaker 1: Women's Soccer League like a test balloon sent out to
Speaker 1: check win conditions. The sporting world watched intensely as the
Speaker 1: league began the Challenge Cup, a tournament in Utah, not
Speaker 1: only signaling a restart, but also a way to test
Speaker 1: plans for other sports to avoid a total COVID breakdown.
Speaker 1: Things may have started off rocky with the Orlando Pride
Speaker 1: dropping out due to positive tests, but things do seem
Speaker 1: back on track with the semi final team set earlier
Speaker 1: this week. But much has been said about the mental
Speaker 1: toll of the nws L bubble and the women who
Speaker 1: first experienced it. So I spoke to Kelly O'Hara of
Speaker 1: the Utah Royals just as the tournament started to see
Speaker 1: how everything was being handled. The two thousand nine Herman
Speaker 1: Trophy winner signaling college soccer's top player, is also a
Speaker 1: two time FIFA World Cup champion in two thousand fifteen
Speaker 1: and two thousand nineteen and a two thousand twelve gold medalist,
Speaker 1: angling to do it again in Tokyo whenever those games
Speaker 1: actually take place. But for this interview we focus on
Speaker 1: her summer camp, the bubble of the Challenge Cup, and
Speaker 1: what the return has felt. Like for her. We also
Speaker 1: touch on the social landscape of America and if the
Speaker 1: internet rolls she faced after kissing her girlfriend after a
Speaker 1: World Cup victory still allow her to think this world
Speaker 1: can be saved, and we get into some kind of
Speaker 1: bad soccer movies. Then, in another installment of Pandemic, I
Speaker 1: talked to former w BC Super Welterweight champion and current
Speaker 1: Zone boxing analysts Sergio Mora about his upcoming return to
Speaker 1: the mic amongst sweat and blood and other things I've
Speaker 1: been wildly terrified of since March. It's that time again,
Speaker 1: so let's follow some pros into the sports bubble. All
Speaker 1: from Kelly O'Hara to accept Press one. Hello Kelly, Hi Junan,
Speaker 1: how are you. I'm good. This is a first for
Speaker 1: the show. I don't even know what to do with myself.
Speaker 1: You're You're the first athlete I'm talking to who is
Speaker 1: back at their sport. This seems like I should have
Speaker 1: confetti and streamers for you. Wow, that's exciting. I know, well,
Speaker 1: first first moved back. It's pretty crazy. You are currently
Speaker 1: in Utah, which is the hometown of your Royal club,
Speaker 1: partaking in the Challenge Cup. You were the first league
Speaker 1: to pick playback up. Tell me. I know this is
Speaker 1: a loaded question, but how has it been so far?
Speaker 1: It's definitely been interesting. It's a you're you're kind of
Speaker 1: an uncharted territory, so interesting would be the way I woulds.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to lie to you. I'm going to
Speaker 1: tell you I've spoken to athletes I don't know now
Speaker 1: three times a week for months. You are much further
Speaker 1: along the line than most that I speak to. But
Speaker 1: I cannot tell you I have talked to one athlete
Speaker 1: who is enthusiastic. I can't. I would be a lie.
Speaker 1: Everyone everyone feels I'm gonna listen, I'm gonna be the
Speaker 1: most pestimistic interviewer you've you've had. I I'm weirded out
Speaker 1: by all you guys doing sports. I'm not gonna lie,
Speaker 1: but I I don't know. Everyone's sort of like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're doing it. Yeah, I mean, people are assets. I
Speaker 1: think it probably stems from, well, first of all, you
Speaker 1: haven't talked to any athletes that's been that. They don't
Speaker 1: have their perspect stive of like being back playing, having
Speaker 1: that enjoyment of actually participating. They're just like grinding alone
Speaker 1: um by themselves. So that I can. I can understand
Speaker 1: that because I wouldn't say that I wasn't I wasn't
Speaker 1: enthusiastic like back in Quarantine, because I actually found Quarantine
Speaker 1: to be quite nice. Yes, but but I've really I've
Speaker 1: also really enjoying thing back. I I mean, I love
Speaker 1: playing offer, so um, it's nice to be back on
Speaker 1: the field and like there's a lot of hoops you
Speaker 1: have to jump through and things you have to do,
Speaker 1: and and it's not normal in anything, but when you're
Speaker 1: on the field, it feels like you're back, it's normal.
Speaker 1: You know that is that is the one thing that
Speaker 1: is consistent with before COVID, which is like playing the
Speaker 1: sport isn't different. And I finally joined that, So yeah,
Speaker 1: I kind'm enthusiastic. I know, I understand that the setup
Speaker 1: is obviously not the fun part of playing sports. No one,
Speaker 1: no one gets excited for the p's and ques of
Speaker 1: how you're going to stay safe, which which I wanted
Speaker 1: to get into. Is there a way you could run
Speaker 1: down how traveling there took place, making sure you stayed
Speaker 1: safe and travel to the hotel, getting to where you
Speaker 1: players are staying. Did did they go out of their way?
Speaker 1: To make sure you're kind of in a bit of
Speaker 1: the bubble. Yeah, So the way it worked was there
Speaker 1: we was slez um and I'll get to the travel,
Speaker 1: but there's phases of how teams could get back to
Speaker 1: team training. So they had individual training and then small
Speaker 1: group training, and then I could start team training after
Speaker 1: people had been tested were negative and you could move
Speaker 1: into the team training. And so I was in DC
Speaker 1: because that's where I to my off season and or
Speaker 1: like live outside of playing for Utah. So I flew
Speaker 1: back to Utah because the tournament is being held here
Speaker 1: um beginning of June, and I flew alone because I
Speaker 1: was just coming by myself and I was coming into market,
Speaker 1: not necessarily at the tournament, so it was kind of
Speaker 1: it's kind of like coming back into So I flew
Speaker 1: the national team flew me back because we're paid by
Speaker 1: the Master team, so they have control over that. And
Speaker 1: it was weird because you're just you're on a flight,
Speaker 1: you're wearing a mask, and people are socially distant on
Speaker 1: the plane, which is great. I actually felt fine traveling
Speaker 1: and felt pretty safe and comfortable and wasn't that worried.
Speaker 1: But obviously you go out into the world. You explored yourself.
Speaker 1: But in my in my opinion, if you go to
Speaker 1: the grocery store, you could expose yourself the same way
Speaker 1: if you um, you know, are an airport, that sort
Speaker 1: of thing, and as long as you take your expressions
Speaker 1: to fine. And so, yeah, I flew back the beginning
Speaker 1: of June, and so we've been here, we've been training.
Speaker 1: And then other teams that flew into the bubble to
Speaker 1: start um tournament mode, they all took starter flights from
Speaker 1: their market um because they all had tests negative before
Speaker 1: they got on the flight and then they were tested
Speaker 1: they brought here. So there were a lot of precautions
Speaker 1: taken and like making sure that whoever was coming into
Speaker 1: the bubble was negative and healthy and wasn't bringing anything
Speaker 1: in right. And then for us as a you Talk team,
Speaker 1: we're not actually staying in a hotel. We were put
Speaker 1: up in an apartment by our club and we thankfully
Speaker 1: get to stay and then during the tournament, but we
Speaker 1: are only so when bubble mode started, which is when
Speaker 1: teams got here. We are only allowed to be at
Speaker 1: our apartment or at the facility UM or at you know,
Speaker 1: the stadium playing. So that's been that's been a little
Speaker 1: weird because prior to the tournament, bubble mode starting, you
Speaker 1: could go out and get a coffee, you know, to go,
Speaker 1: you could go grocery shopping. Obviously you're all very cautious
Speaker 1: and larning masks and trying to pick all the cautions.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's kind of the rundown on that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I hear that makes sense. Does it feel
Speaker 1: like adult summer camp? I mean, do you guys all
Speaker 1: hang out in the bubble? I mean, it's so weird
Speaker 1: to be a grown athlete, a well paid grown athlete.
Speaker 1: You're an Olympian gold medalist, you're a World Cup winner,
Speaker 1: and now I of not letting you go get coffee.
Speaker 1: I mean, I was one of the people when we
Speaker 1: were harming, all the conversations of what is it gonna
Speaker 1: look like? How are we going to ensure safety for everyone?
Speaker 1: I was when people was like, if people go and
Speaker 1: get groceries and the ring the mask, so they don't
Speaker 1: you know, they go get a coffee to go, and
Speaker 1: they do purpose I pick up with stuff. I'm like,
Speaker 1: that should be fine to staying in your car um
Speaker 1: you know, interacting and my understanding of the virus is
Speaker 1: like you're at the most risk if you're an intimate
Speaker 1: conversation for a long period of time without a mask,
Speaker 1: so you can obed to get it other ways, but
Speaker 1: that's the highest risk. So for me, I was like,
Speaker 1: I think we should be able to do this thing.
Speaker 1: It obviously got shut down and so it is a
Speaker 1: bit weird, but you kind of just had to like
Speaker 1: mentally prepare yourself for that. UM as a team. The
Speaker 1: way our protocols are set up, because I know some leaks,
Speaker 1: they're different. You're not allowed to interact with other teams,
Speaker 1: so we'll be in passing UM, but you're not really
Speaker 1: supposed to like stop chat. That's the thing obviously people
Speaker 1: do from like a distance, so it's no interaction between
Speaker 1: team Dave like hanging out. But within your team you're
Speaker 1: allowed to take some time. So it does kind of
Speaker 1: feel like summer camp because we have a food delivered
Speaker 1: to UM to our apartment, so we go to a
Speaker 1: specific place to pick it up every evening or like
Speaker 1: lunch days off opert thing. So I bought a tide
Speaker 1: Ee kit um, so I plan on having a tide
Speaker 1: I party at trum point. Yes, I like to hear
Speaker 1: that um, we got we got cornhole. We got corn holes.
Speaker 1: That's kind of be fun. This is Camp Kelly. This
Speaker 1: is Camp Kelly. I've been doing enough Jewish sleepaway camps.
Speaker 1: You're you're living at Camp has Kramer. This is You're
Speaker 1: You're basically my childhood. Yeah no, and I mean I'm
Speaker 1: a kid at heart, So I'm fine, Like I'm just
Speaker 1: you know, I get split soccer, I get to hang
Speaker 1: out with my teammates and yeah, so it is what
Speaker 1: it is. You make the best every situation, right, Yes, well,
Speaker 1: I'm very excited to hear about the Utah movie Night.
Speaker 1: How much you guys being tested? So during um, the
Speaker 1: preseason bit, when everyone was in their respective market, we
Speaker 1: were getting tested once and we and one would probably
Speaker 1: argue like we probably should have gotten tested more often
Speaker 1: than that, but once a week, and then once the
Speaker 1: tournament started, we get tested after every single game day.
Speaker 1: So basically it's the way so that you can know
Speaker 1: going into the next game is everybody negative. So I've
Speaker 1: probably had Svenary test fun fun. That's that that that
Speaker 1: definitely that that definitely ruins the summer camp analogy. You
Speaker 1: had me right till then have Yeah, have you had
Speaker 1: it done. I had the mouth swab, not you guys
Speaker 1: are probably having a more intense one or a blood test. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so when you came into market, you bought the nose
Speaker 1: swab for being if you actively had the virus, and
Speaker 1: then the blood test week for the antibody. So you
Speaker 1: got both in the beginning um and then moving forward
Speaker 1: and just had no slob. And the nose swob is
Speaker 1: they can if you have an incum swab, it can
Speaker 1: is genuinely the worst feeling I've ever felt. And somebody
Speaker 1: told me before and they were like, oh, it's just uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: So I went My worst one was the first one
Speaker 1: that I got, and I I couldn't believe it. I
Speaker 1: was I was shocked. I thought my nose was ding. Unreal.
Speaker 1: This is not you're you're not selling the pessimistic interviewer here. Uh.
Speaker 1: Your teammate Kristen Press opted out of playing, as did
Speaker 1: some of your World Cup years. Did you ever contemplate
Speaker 1: staying home? Um, I was live, I said, I didn't
Speaker 1: think about it. I mean, I think everyone when I
Speaker 1: first heard of the of this idea basically what that
Speaker 1: was just in shocked because in that time, during that moment,
Speaker 1: we were all at home, no one. You know, you're
Speaker 1: training on your own. You have no idea what the
Speaker 1: world is going to look like in a month to
Speaker 1: two months. So this idea of trying to put together
Speaker 1: a tournament just seems very crazy. But then once I,
Speaker 1: you know, started to understand how much thought they had
Speaker 1: put into it, I felt more comfortable. And for me,
Speaker 1: I I want to play soccer like I I you know,
Speaker 1: I probably only have a couple of years left in
Speaker 1: my career, and I felt confident in knowing that they
Speaker 1: were going to ensure as much as they possibly could
Speaker 1: for my safety. And then also it's on me to
Speaker 1: do that as well. Um, and that you know, just
Speaker 1: being being in DC on my own, I could be
Speaker 1: at risk as well. So you know, it would be
Speaker 1: lying to say that I didn't think, oh, like, it
Speaker 1: would be so much easier you stay home. But but
Speaker 1: then in my in my mind that we didn't. Right now, obviously,
Speaker 1: is it difficult to adjust to someone like Christen setting
Speaker 1: it out because you guys aren't able to really have
Speaker 1: your traditional practices before to get acquainted to the team
Speaker 1: without her, like you know, with people missing like was
Speaker 1: it is it hard to adjust well, you know, because
Speaker 1: we had the brand new we have a brand new staff. Um.
Speaker 1: One of our coaches, she was more she wasn't an
Speaker 1: officially in assistant coach. I don't know about the next
Speaker 1: year or last year. But so we have a brand new,
Speaker 1: basically brandw coaching staff, and we had a lot of
Speaker 1: new players come in. We have rookies, were people we
Speaker 1: picked out, picked up from overseas that your Americans playing
Speaker 1: overseas and that you know, are now playing a reach.
Speaker 1: And we had a lot of players. We had a
Speaker 1: couple of players retired, so we kind of came into
Speaker 1: this and as like a brand new team in one
Speaker 1: of which person hadn't been here yet. So in terms
Speaker 1: of for um, you know, not coming I don't think
Speaker 1: it affected us in a way of like it has
Speaker 1: been very different if it was the middle of the season.
Speaker 1: You know we've been working together, um and then this happened.
Speaker 1: But we kind of all walked into this brand new.
Speaker 1: It's kind of nice, like it was a good I mean,
Speaker 1: you could look at it both sides. You'd be like, oh,
Speaker 1: it would be nice to have the history and the
Speaker 1: chemistry plate stuff, but we don't have that. Some of
Speaker 1: us do. So we're just all trying to learn as
Speaker 1: quickly as possible and create that cocusion in in a
Speaker 1: short couple of weeks, which crazy think about, but you know, again,
Speaker 1: trying to do our best. You have done the unthinkable.
Speaker 1: You've played without fans. I assume you hear everyone for
Speaker 1: mccough to a to a giggle. I mean, I I
Speaker 1: am trying to wonder what is it like hearing everything
Speaker 1: while you're playing. So I actually haven't played yet because
Speaker 1: I have a little quad issue, but I've been in
Speaker 1: the stadium and it is very odd because when you
Speaker 1: watch it on TV or online, you and kind of
Speaker 1: like the e p L games in the Bundesliga they
Speaker 1: pump in on the stream, they have noise and I
Speaker 1: don't know if they're pumping it in live in some
Speaker 1: of the stadium in Europe, but like in ours, there's
Speaker 1: no noise except for the benches hearing um, you know,
Speaker 1: the people sitting out hearing. So it is very odd,
Speaker 1: but it's actually quite helpful because you can get your
Speaker 1: message across to other people. Like I feel like I
Speaker 1: can scream from the from the stands and give some
Speaker 1: instruction to somebody and they can't actually hearing me as
Speaker 1: opposed to if there are stands that would be the case. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've never heard of a better job for
Speaker 1: jock jams than this. This is a this is the
Speaker 1: time to I would love that. I love other than
Speaker 1: the Gary Glitter song, which we have to cancel, but
Speaker 1: everything else totally fine to play. Um. I asked this
Speaker 1: of all the athletes going back, and it is a
Speaker 1: very loaded question. That's your warning. But do you guys
Speaker 1: want to win? This? Is? This? Is this a tournament
Speaker 1: that's going to mean something. I am the type of
Speaker 1: person who wants to win, even like Torondo's and practice
Speaker 1: and little small by the game, So yeah, I want
Speaker 1: to win. I enjoyed playing soccer, but at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, I'm a competitor and I'm not going
Speaker 1: out there just to like pick it. I'm going out
Speaker 1: there to win. So I definitely do yeah, and I
Speaker 1: think I think everybody does because people will look back there.
Speaker 1: You want the maybe Built Challenge Cup like what a
Speaker 1: wild time? But yeah, but you know it's a thing.
Speaker 1: You're only as good as your last game, so might
Speaker 1: as well win. Yeah. Well that leads U to the
Speaker 1: Tokyo Olympics. You are a gold medalist in the past,
Speaker 1: you've been to the games before, you were set to
Speaker 1: be a veteran on this team. Does the postponement throw
Speaker 1: a total wrench into your training? Does it? You've been
Speaker 1: there before, so you know what it's like to have
Speaker 1: a set date and to to really work towards that
Speaker 1: that data has been pushed, the goalposts have been moved.
Speaker 1: What does it mean to you? To be honest, it
Speaker 1: was kind of a relief when they announced it finally
Speaker 1: that it was going to get postponed. My stress was
Speaker 1: over them choosing to cancel it all together because I
Speaker 1: had heard that the way Olympics were allotted, you own,
Speaker 1: the host city, only had the year too actually get
Speaker 1: the game completed. Um. So I thought that they were
Speaker 1: going to cancel um, which I would that would have
Speaker 1: been a really big bummer because you know, there's only
Speaker 1: been a couple of times, maybe one time in history
Speaker 1: where they've been they've been canceled. So when I found
Speaker 1: out that they were postponed, to me, it was a relief. One.
Speaker 1: It's not canceled to pay there's still you know, there's
Speaker 1: still possibility to win a gold medal next year and
Speaker 1: too you kind of it kind of allowed you to
Speaker 1: like take a breass and not stress over being quarantine
Speaker 1: and trying to stay super fit and ready, because whenever
Speaker 1: think first happened, I kind of looked at it as O,
Speaker 1: we're gonna I was thinking we'll be back in like
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, and so I was hitting it
Speaker 1: hard for two weeks straight, like training, trying to keep
Speaker 1: games fit because we were going right into preseason and
Speaker 1: I was kind of at a peaking point. So once
Speaker 1: they were canceled and once I kind of fully crasped
Speaker 1: what was going on, um, I was able to take
Speaker 1: a step back and kind of to a little bit
Speaker 1: and and sort out how I wanted to approach my
Speaker 1: training for the next couple of months, knowing that the
Speaker 1: Olympics were no longer on the table. Yeah, and I
Speaker 1: guess you've been to the Olympics before. As someone who
Speaker 1: watches from his couch eating potato chips, I am always
Speaker 1: nervous hearing those stories about like Olympic village and the
Speaker 1: viruses and dating apps and all the things that happened
Speaker 1: even in normal years. Do you we have to assume
Speaker 1: that this thing is going to have locked doors. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be even crazier than the apartment bubble you're living in. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's only it's not even like a full
Speaker 1: year away. Yeah, no, for sure. I mean I try
Speaker 1: to be a hopeful person. So my hope is that
Speaker 1: we have a complete handle. I mean, I don't think
Speaker 1: the Olympics goes forward unless the entire world has a
Speaker 1: handle on COVID. Yeah, So for me, it's definitely going
Speaker 1: to be heightened precautions that probably didn't exist in the
Speaker 1: last games that I went to. But I can't imagine
Speaker 1: that they would actually have the games if what is
Speaker 1: happening right now, you know, can trends upwards. But my
Speaker 1: hope is that we could have under control those of vaccine,
Speaker 1: and as a global community, we have this thing lockdown
Speaker 1: and and then you can have the games and have
Speaker 1: the village as it typically Yeah. No, I appreciate your hopefulness.
Speaker 1: You would you you you should take over for my therapist.
Speaker 1: I definitely want to have that more. I wanted to
Speaker 1: touch on the worldwide awakening that has went on after
Speaker 1: the murder of George Floyd and how it's shaping and
Speaker 1: affecting the sports world. What changes have you seen in
Speaker 1: the tournament so far? Yeah, I mean, obviously, we've as
Speaker 1: a league and the players Association has wanted to bring
Speaker 1: a lot awareness to the Black Lives Matter movement and
Speaker 1: just the racial injustice and systemic racism in this country
Speaker 1: and the problems that the black community faces. So as players,
Speaker 1: people have been kneeling, we've all been learning the Black
Speaker 1: Lives Matter shirts. R vans um. I would like to
Speaker 1: see us as a play association figure out something together
Speaker 1: across teams that we could do beyond the tournament. So
Speaker 1: I'm hopeful that we can do something bigger. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: you face your fair share of internet rolls and real
Speaker 1: life discrimination clearly as a member of the LGBT community,
Speaker 1: and after kissing your partner on television, do you do
Speaker 1: you think as someone who has seen the garbage that
Speaker 1: is a lot of the response from people who aren't
Speaker 1: like you and I do do you think we can
Speaker 1: still turn this around? Do you think that these kind
Speaker 1: of things in soccer, in the sports that we love
Speaker 1: are are are helping the cause. I think that people
Speaker 1: who come from a genuine place are helping the cause.
Speaker 1: I don't think internet roles help anything or anyone. But
Speaker 1: you also I think that humans have to realize that
Speaker 1: people behind computer screens you just can't you can't worry
Speaker 1: about them. Yeah, I mean, especially with the things that
Speaker 1: have been going on these last few months with equal rights,
Speaker 1: which I spoke I spoke to Julie Foudy recently, and
Speaker 1: I just can't get over the mind like, I can't
Speaker 1: get over even the mind state that gets you to
Speaker 1: the point of being like, you know, women more popular
Speaker 1: in soccer bring more attention, but let's pay them less,
Speaker 1: baby Like. It's just the creepiest thought process. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: know it is, But that's just part of the world
Speaker 1: we live in, and you just have to keep fighting
Speaker 1: a good fight. You are starting a podcast, You're getting
Speaker 1: into the podcast game. I, as you know, I'm the
Speaker 1: keeper of all podcasts, so I have to be alerted
Speaker 1: via written note. So I appreciate you sending that to me.
Speaker 1: What made you want to start a podcast? So with
Speaker 1: j WS just from the Sports UM, I rejoined our
Speaker 1: conversation with one of the founders, Hayley Rosen, back in
Speaker 1: the fall, and it was for her to try to
Speaker 1: get me on board as an advisor and throughout that conversation,
Speaker 1: I was kind of asking her, like where do you
Speaker 1: see this going, Like what are your goals for this?
Speaker 1: And she brought up that say, would really love to
Speaker 1: do podcast. So I casually said, like, oh, you know,
Speaker 1: I love podcasts that I've always thought about maybe like
Speaker 1: I would maybe want to host one one day, and
Speaker 1: she was really and so that kind of started the
Speaker 1: ball rolling in that bringing me on board to host,
Speaker 1: because it was for them that was they were trying
Speaker 1: to figure out who would be a good host and
Speaker 1: having the ability as an like that athlete currently playing,
Speaker 1: to have conversations with other athletes. Um, I feel like
Speaker 1: there's a there's this chance for vulnerability and to kind
Speaker 1: of share experiences and and for me, the biggest reason
Speaker 1: I wanted to do the podcast, which is like taking
Speaker 1: me out of my comfort zone completely because I've never
Speaker 1: done anything like it. I know how important visibility is
Speaker 1: and getting voices heard and being able to tell your story,
Speaker 1: and like, for me, I love hearing people's stories. I
Speaker 1: would rather read an article profile than like a long book.
Speaker 1: So I jumped at that opportunity because I'm like, if
Speaker 1: I want to be if I want to see women's
Speaker 1: sports increase. I have to. I can't just talk about it.
Speaker 1: I can't complain about it. I need to see something
Speaker 1: about it. And for me, this is doing something about it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's very active. Who would be your your goal guest?
Speaker 1: Who is who's the dream guest? You can open up
Speaker 1: the whole entire celebrity sports world. Who who's the get? Well,
Speaker 1: We've already interviewed a handful of people, and some of
Speaker 1: them would be on my my dream list. So I'm
Speaker 1: I'm thankful that people have already come on and and
Speaker 1: showed their stories. I would love we have we have
Speaker 1: a we have a list. I should like to pull
Speaker 1: it up because um, it's a good one. I mean
Speaker 1: Serena Williams would be amazing, very good. Yes, yes, um,
Speaker 1: I think that would probably be the just because I
Speaker 1: love that who she is, what she's done. Yeah, for sure,
Speaker 1: all right, very good. I I was thinking along those lines.
Speaker 1: So I I think it's always weird because like for me,
Speaker 1: if someone was like, who's the main get you want
Speaker 1: for the sports bubble, I'm always like I think too inwardly,
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, Taco Fall would be amazing, Like I like,
Speaker 1: clearly people want to hear from Taco Fall. But all
Speaker 1: I want to do is be friends with Taco Fall,
Speaker 1: Like that's my whole goal and mostly everything I do.
Speaker 1: So I appreciate you looking to listeners, I'm thinking, just
Speaker 1: who can I have, like, you know, a movie night with?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's fair, I am. I'm very selfish, But
Speaker 1: let's talk movies. I just kind of glimpsed on on
Speaker 1: on your U talk experience right now, maybe being able
Speaker 1: to watch with some teammates. There's a lot of talk
Speaker 1: during Pandemic about Last Dance, the Ken Griffe Jr. Doc.
Speaker 1: It got me thinking about soccer movies. There just aren't
Speaker 1: enough at all in my opinion. And there's an upcoming
Speaker 1: Netflix scripted movie about the ninety nine World Cup team.
Speaker 1: We have to wait for that. So I wanted to
Speaker 1: go through some soccer movies my childhood, from growing up,
Speaker 1: and you kind of tell me what you think about
Speaker 1: them as a professional player. Will grade them on one
Speaker 1: to five goals, five being best, and if it's a
Speaker 1: red card if you've never seen it, okay, alright, is
Speaker 1: going to be bad. Because I'm not a movie person.
Speaker 1: It's okay, I mean, listen, I I've only seen a
Speaker 1: couple of these, so that's almost I'm almost asking for
Speaker 1: your help from what you've heard. Okay, One, I feel
Speaker 1: like a red Cards all right, here we go, bend
Speaker 1: it like Beckham, whoa the Kira Knightley Bollywood feeling bend
Speaker 1: it like Beckham gets a one? Why is that? Probably
Speaker 1: because I watched it so long ago and it was
Speaker 1: just no, no soccer movie has ever been able to
Speaker 1: accurately portray soccer being played in in a good way.
Speaker 1: It doesn't ever look good, I agree. It mostly cuts
Speaker 1: to their legs and it's like a completely different person.
Speaker 1: And then the person getting stepovers in the middle of
Speaker 1: the field. Love stepovers in a movie love stepovers, which
Speaker 1: gets us to our next one, the Ninete and Dy
Speaker 1: two classic Ladybugs. It is with Rodney Dangerfield and the
Speaker 1: late Jonathan brand is also Jack Henry. This is a
Speaker 1: movie that is the you know, the quintessential guy on
Speaker 1: a girl's team whatever the flip. But do you remember
Speaker 1: this one at all? I think I did see this.
Speaker 1: I feel like I did, but it was probably so
Speaker 1: long ago. But I also think I really liked it,
Speaker 1: So I'm going to give it four oh four. Okay,
Speaker 1: very good. That one has a lot of cut to
Speaker 1: different people's legs. It's like it'll be a white girl,
Speaker 1: then it cuts in it's like a Puerto Rican dude
Speaker 1: with like great quads. All right, The Big Green it's
Speaker 1: from Steve Gutenberg plays a deputy. It's kind of one
Speaker 1: of those bad news bears, ragtag group of soccer kids
Speaker 1: from Texas. Oh yeah that one. Um, that was that
Speaker 1: a soccer movie? I thought was it is a soccer
Speaker 1: movie that the big kid with the red hair from
Speaker 1: sand lots the goalie. He's like the cover. I've definitely
Speaker 1: definitely doing this. Um that gets sick. Oh whoa that is?
Speaker 1: I mean bed it like Beckham is garbage. Well, it's
Speaker 1: just like I it's funny because I'm like it was
Speaker 1: I thought The Big Green was about football, but then
Speaker 1: I just googled Big Green movie. I'm like, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I definitely do that. It's the best one because it's
Speaker 1: kind of like Mighty Ducks. For the first soccer it
Speaker 1: is clearly Mighty Ducks. Same here's one that's the same
Speaker 1: plot as Ladybugs. And you're talking to someone who might
Speaker 1: even give this ten goals. So I'm warning you in advance.
Speaker 1: The two thousand six movie She's the Man with Amanda
Speaker 1: Binds and Channing Table. You're gonna bring that up. I
Speaker 1: would give it. I would give ten goals to it's
Speaker 1: so good. God bless her performance in it. It's so funny.
Speaker 1: I laugh. I laugh even just thinking about it. Okay,
Speaker 1: everyone please go watch She's the Man, all right? Uh?
Speaker 1: Shaolin Soccer two thousand one, Stephen Chow movie. You ever
Speaker 1: see it? Red Cards from Red Cards? See this one's
Speaker 1: crazy because it's like a kung fu movie, but instead
Speaker 1: of kung fu, they're doing soccer. It's bonkers looking. I mean,
Speaker 1: none of it's real, but it's still nuts. Yeah, alright,
Speaker 1: I've never heard of it, all right? Possibly? Uh a tournament?
Speaker 1: Watch okay. Kicking and Screaming two thousand five with Will
Speaker 1: Ferrell Bert Duval seen it? No, I actually haven't seen it,
Speaker 1: but I think it's pretty good because both fellows really good.
Speaker 1: So I'll give it four goals without even without even
Speaker 1: seeing it. You know, both incredible reviewer. Is there anything
Speaker 1: I'm missing? Is there a soccer movie that you love
Speaker 1: that I just didn't put on this list? No, I
Speaker 1: don't think so there's not enough any of Hollywood is listening.
Speaker 1: Make a soccer movie. Kelly, thank you for talking to me.
Speaker 1: Please stay safe, say within the bubble. Have a great
Speaker 1: time at summer camp, and I hope to talk to
Speaker 1: you soon. Okay, I'll let you know how my Tide
Speaker 1: I go after this. I talked about the upcoming fight
Speaker 1: between Ortiz Junior and Vargas with Boxer and the Zone
Speaker 1: analysts Sergio Mora. Right now, Feeding America is working tirelessly
Speaker 1: to ensure our most vulnerable populations, like students who were
Speaker 1: out of school, the elderly individuals whose jobs are impacted,
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. But Feeding America dot org backslash COVID nineteen.
Speaker 1: Now here's my conversation with Boxer and the Zone analysts
Speaker 1: Sergio Mora from Sergio the Man Think More to accept
Speaker 1: Press One. Well, I've seen a bunch of your interviews recently.
Speaker 1: I've seen that you've been pretty strictly quarantining. Is this
Speaker 1: upcoming fight, Is this going to be your first time
Speaker 1: amongst a group of people? Yeah, but you know what's
Speaker 1: gonna be a limited group of people because the protocol
Speaker 1: is pretty pretty strict. I've been getting females from the
Speaker 1: California Commission and from Golden Bullying from the Zone, and
Speaker 1: we're going to have to going to a bubble on Wednesday,
Speaker 1: stay in the room, get tested and right it and
Speaker 1: if we get clear, we test negative, then we're allowed
Speaker 1: to go into certain designated areas I think of for
Speaker 1: eating and in one sort of production, and then back
Speaker 1: to your room. So it's gonna be it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a bubble, just like the NBA. Yeah, I mean I
Speaker 1: was hoping you've been quarantining in Mana Bello. I don't
Speaker 1: think you live there anymore, but I my my whole
Speaker 1: family is from there. My mom graduated from Whittier. Oh god,
Speaker 1: you know, I grew up in East l a write
Speaker 1: a block away from one though from on the board
Speaker 1: of Garfield and Whittier. I guess where I grew rober
Speaker 1: mom lived there, a family lived there. But I haven't
Speaker 1: stayed a fifteen years or I miss it. Well, shout
Speaker 1: out to guard knows my my favorite restaurant, probably of
Speaker 1: all time. That's right, Oh man, it's I think it's
Speaker 1: out of business. I don't even want to. I don't
Speaker 1: even want to. No, no, no, no, no, no, it's
Speaker 1: still there. It's still there. Thank God. Well, like you said,
Speaker 1: this next Friday, the Zone is returning. Boxing is back
Speaker 1: with a huge fight a member of the promising future
Speaker 1: of boxing, the undefeated Virgil Ortiz June. You're taking on Vargas.
Speaker 1: You will be calling the action are truthfully? Are you
Speaker 1: excited to get back to work? Absolutely? I mean well,
Speaker 1: from the fact that I've been quarantining with a two
Speaker 1: year old little girl and a five year old little boy, right,
Speaker 1: I can't wait to get out of that one to
Speaker 1: get back to work. And three, of course, then I
Speaker 1: want to see live action boxing. MANA just be stuck
Speaker 1: in home taking care of kids. I want to feel
Speaker 1: that a drilling of to stop from back into my
Speaker 1: body and want some action. Yeah, I have a I
Speaker 1: have a one year old, so I know I know
Speaker 1: what quarantining with basically a toddler infant is. Like, I
Speaker 1: assume you're going to be seeing as much spit and
Speaker 1: blood as you've seen even at home this next week, Sam, poop,
Speaker 1: don't forget the poop and poop exactly. Some fighters, you
Speaker 1: never know. Boxing is one of those kind of sports
Speaker 1: that you just never know how it's going to happen. Again,
Speaker 1: like when we first started talking COVID and getting near
Speaker 1: each other. It's like contact sports, you know, golf and tennis,
Speaker 1: those things are sort of easily solved. But with so
Speaker 1: much close this in boxing, what precautions are going to
Speaker 1: go on for the actual fighters to keep everyone safe. Well,
Speaker 1: from what I know so far that they send me,
Speaker 1: we gotta stay in our rooms. Once we're clear negatives,
Speaker 1: they let us go to a certain designated area, which
Speaker 1: is the production or I guess for the fighters training,
Speaker 1: maybe they need to use the fitness center to look
Speaker 1: a couple of extra pounds or they're going to be
Speaker 1: allowed to do that certain hours. And I'm pretty sure
Speaker 1: there's gonna be hand sanit tizing and masks everywhere. That's
Speaker 1: what it said in the email. Um uh, I think
Speaker 1: those are those are the only things they can do.
Speaker 1: Um so designated areas and there there's gonna be time
Speaker 1: slots for everyone to go in and get the hands
Speaker 1: in a tiping everywhere. Casino is going to be closed
Speaker 1: from what I hear, And it's literally it's just work
Speaker 1: room room work, right. And you're your former WBC Super
Speaker 1: Welterweight champ, You've had major fights in your career, you
Speaker 1: are a fan favorite coming out of the Contender, and you,
Speaker 1: I would assume, really fed off the fans and the
Speaker 1: applause and the audience inside. I mean, did you ever
Speaker 1: imagine what it would be like to have big televised
Speaker 1: fights with no one there? Matter? And I thought my
Speaker 1: situation on the Contender was weird because we only find
Speaker 1: in front of production and the production family, and we
Speaker 1: were allowed to have five family members on our Contender fights,
Speaker 1: so we only had about a hundred max. Very small,
Speaker 1: and that felt weird. I never imagined to fight in
Speaker 1: front of no crowd, man, I mean, this is just
Speaker 1: something that's unpressed in it and it's gonna be weird.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna lie. I can't tell
Speaker 1: you that it's gonna be something I'm looking forward to,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna have to adapt and evolved like everyone else. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean this is some inside baseball stuff. But I'm
Speaker 1: also wondering, like when we start talking about big payday fighters, like,
Speaker 1: since so much is dependent on live gate and not
Speaker 1: just TV deals and pay per views and stuff, how
Speaker 1: will payments happen? Is everyone going to be looking at
Speaker 1: a big pay cut? Do you think, Well, there's gonna
Speaker 1: be two choices. Either you fight for less money, are
Speaker 1: you gonna be inactive and on the shelf, and right
Speaker 1: now you know the initial initial I guess consensus to
Speaker 1: you know, big fighters are gonna be silved. I mean,
Speaker 1: the only one that's really stepping up and saying you're
Speaker 1: gonna do with Canela, but Canellos listening an opponent because
Speaker 1: the opponents are can many more money. So yeah, if
Speaker 1: you know you get selves do or you want to fight,
Speaker 1: I think the only one that's pleading by example right
Speaker 1: now is the Canelo algorithm. You know, got blessing. But
Speaker 1: hopefully you know the rest of the pound for pound
Speaker 1: fighters on the list and the top fighters you know
Speaker 1: follow suit. Yeah, because you had tweeted this. I saw
Speaker 1: this on your account. What a time to stay ready
Speaker 1: if you're a fighter. Pandemic opponents are one phone call
Speaker 1: away from career high pay days. It's just the idea
Speaker 1: that guys like Canello and uh you know, even Triple
Speaker 1: G sort of talked about fighting a little bit. I
Speaker 1: mean the fact that they won't be able to find
Speaker 1: their pay day probably, but as far as smaller fights,
Speaker 1: I guess you're right. Like dudes that have been prepped
Speaker 1: to be in this position for a long time, if
Speaker 1: they feel safe, if they feel ready to take a
Speaker 1: payday that's big for them but low for for some superstars,
Speaker 1: well then they're ready to go. Usually it's that's the
Speaker 1: B side opponents that that get. You know, they get
Speaker 1: good fights for about fifty thousand. If they get a
Speaker 1: really good fight against uh A opponent Bale, they might
Speaker 1: hit six sigures during this time. If you're gonna be
Speaker 1: fighting uh A, galab and Carnaro or a top fighter
Speaker 1: Demetrius Android or any champion with a belt, I mean,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna get a phone call with him a
Speaker 1: two week notice and you're in shape, you're gonna get
Speaker 1: a six figured check. You know, so it's a hell
Speaker 1: of a time to be an opponent. I would be
Speaker 1: working out every day, waiting for a phone call. And
Speaker 1: you know, if all was on social media tweeting about it,
Speaker 1: do exactly what Andy Ruis did the instagramming messages and
Speaker 1: direct messaging Eddie Hearn and direct message every pan to
Speaker 1: say I'm ready, willing, enable, in shape, blah blah blah whatever.
Speaker 1: But us. Yeah, that's another question to bring up. Is
Speaker 1: the Zone now has three events in five weeks. Excited
Speaker 1: to see all of those? Do you expect these guys
Speaker 1: after quarantine and and everything we've been through to be
Speaker 1: in shape. We're gonna see sort of the heavy breathing
Speaker 1: we are. Are we gonna see the boxers where you
Speaker 1: used to or now, well look the boxer are gonna
Speaker 1: tell you there in shape and have a boxer myself. Um,
Speaker 1: I hate saying former boxer, but as a boxer myself,
Speaker 1: Who're just gonna We're gonna talk to talk and then
Speaker 1: when we get in there, we're gonna have excuses later.
Speaker 1: That's just the way it is, because we're not sharp
Speaker 1: to become fight night. Afterwards, they'll say, well, you know,
Speaker 1: we're gonna use the pandemic as an excuse. But if
Speaker 1: we live start didn't knockout. Yeah, they've been training them
Speaker 1: in the back part. I've been doing my thing. We'll
Speaker 1: keep that Bravano. So it all depends on how good
Speaker 1: the performance was. As your self, fighters are totally These
Speaker 1: last few months we've been without any fights. It's been
Speaker 1: a major setback for his own. They were expanding into
Speaker 1: the US, starting sort of a new business plan ready
Speaker 1: to launch. Are they on track? Are you guys on
Speaker 1: track to sort of pick up where everything was halted
Speaker 1: because of COVID. It's sort of a weird position to
Speaker 1: be in as a as a network, and if you're
Speaker 1: running a sports serving service and you have no sports
Speaker 1: to show, that's gonna be tough. I think it's tough
Speaker 1: for for every business. My buddy I, who I just
Speaker 1: spoke to about an hour ago, owned the popular bar
Speaker 1: in San Francisco, and he's hurting because you know, he's
Speaker 1: been in the bar business twenty plus here. So that's
Speaker 1: just a small business I've been as big as a
Speaker 1: as a sports student service is so much money involved,
Speaker 1: of course, it's going to take a big hit. But
Speaker 1: with that much money invested, so much time invested, so
Speaker 1: much effort invested. I can bet they're gonna double down
Speaker 1: after this is over, and doubling down on the big
Speaker 1: fights right away. I mean, I've heard rumblings about the
Speaker 1: potential fights coming up. I can't I can't ruin the secret,
Speaker 1: but I can just say that hot you know, they're
Speaker 1: coming back with a bank. We're coming back with a bang.
Speaker 1: And I'm sure Top Rank and Golden Boy and everyone
Speaker 1: else is gonna want to do the same because after five, six,
Speaker 1: seven months of this quarantine, you're gonna want to get
Speaker 1: all lies are in you, just like the UFC is doing,
Speaker 1: you know, all lives on them right now from Fighting Island.
Speaker 1: That's right. And and we talked to Sugary Leonard about
Speaker 1: King Ryan a little bit and sort of the superstar
Speaker 1: um that's in the future for him. You know, what
Speaker 1: do you see for him as far as like some
Speaker 1: high level competition in the future. Ryan Garcia has been
Speaker 1: doing exactly what he needs to do. He's been moving perfectly.
Speaker 1: This step up opponents. It's not his salt that he
Speaker 1: knocked him out in under three minutes, but that's that's
Speaker 1: what the fighter and the potential superstar is supposed to do.
Speaker 1: Not only does he have that following the postal media phone,
Speaker 1: but he's taking care of business inside the ring, so
Speaker 1: he has it inside and outside the ring. Now. The
Speaker 1: only problem is he wants to get paid more money,
Speaker 1: and he give me them any more money. This is
Speaker 1: where I would think that the lack of experience and
Speaker 1: and maybe a maturity kicks in the fact that on
Speaker 1: that these unpressed men of times, the money is not there,
Speaker 1: the parents aren't to someone who's gonna have to he
Speaker 1: ever gonna have to meet in the middle. And I
Speaker 1: think if if they can do that, they said, Ryan
Speaker 1: Garcia and Golden Board can meet in the middle. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, Golden Board tame a little bit more, not
Speaker 1: what Bryan is expecting, but a little bit more than
Speaker 1: Ryan Garcia says, Okay, I won't I won't take what
Speaker 1: I wanted for, but I'll take that. Let's do it,
Speaker 1: and let's just move forward. And that's that's how it
Speaker 1: gets going. And I just get the ball moving again.
Speaker 1: Keep that movement. I'm going I mean back to back
Speaker 1: first on knockout. He he's hot right now, he is
Speaker 1: glidening hot right now. Keep it going man. It doesn't
Speaker 1: hurt that he looks like he's a boy band either. Yeah,
Speaker 1: as an eighteen year old incarnation of Offid Oil. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: I feel a swell during boxings downtime, and it's a
Speaker 1: very strange I would have never predicted it for the
Speaker 1: return of Mike Tyson in pop culture. Now, maybe more
Speaker 1: than ever, maybe just during the hangover time. I've seen
Speaker 1: him all over the place and he's hinted to a
Speaker 1: return to the ring after that video sort of went
Speaker 1: viral of him in great shape hitting bags. You tell
Speaker 1: me you've been in the ring? You you you you
Speaker 1: WinCE when you say former fighter. Could could it happen
Speaker 1: at fifty three? Absolutely? Not? No, Absolutely, Mad Mike Tyson,
Speaker 1: every other sider that that's thinking about a comeback, especially
Speaker 1: in the late forties and early fifties, it's not possible.
Speaker 1: You're not You're You're not George Foreman, who was just
Speaker 1: a unique peace when it came to one point of power.
Speaker 1: You're not Bernard Hopkins who lived the gladi in or
Speaker 1: lifestyles and people you know, eighteen years old or pro
Speaker 1: whenever you was. You're not both those are unique individuals
Speaker 1: that that that just it's it's it's rare, Myke. Tyson
Speaker 1: is a great fighter, but you know he didn't live
Speaker 1: to Gladdy your lifestyle. He doesn't have that well, he
Speaker 1: doesn't have that power like George Forman, but he don't
Speaker 1: have the size of George Foreman. So no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: they have no chance. It's just it's got tornisoir negacy
Speaker 1: that should just stay retired and and keep the thoughts
Speaker 1: of glory, you know, bottled up. I'm all down for
Speaker 1: Tyson to just be the Weed podcast guy, trust me.
Speaker 1: I just I know that. I know that when there's
Speaker 1: pay days out there, which brings me to my next question. Uh,
Speaker 1: your pal and everyone's pal, especially at the zone day.
Speaker 1: La Hoya says he'll be watching Tyson for his own return.
Speaker 1: I can't imagine when the payday pops up for him
Speaker 1: and Canelo or you know him and pack Yeah, or
Speaker 1: him and McGregor even weirder that anyone is gonna say
Speaker 1: no for that kind of money. Like I just, I
Speaker 1: guess I don't have a lot of optimism when it
Speaker 1: comes to boxing and uh and keeping people away from
Speaker 1: the ring. If there's a pay day, no money torn there,
Speaker 1: especially during these times um, exactly. Sorry you strying to happen, man,
Speaker 1: It's just it's too important even for the guys that
Speaker 1: have to line light. Do you see, uh? I know
Speaker 1: you guys have some fights to Zone has some fights
Speaker 1: in London coming up, and they're all outdoors. Is that
Speaker 1: is that sort of the future. Do you think that's
Speaker 1: what the Zonne is gonna be looking for in the future?
Speaker 1: Outdoor arenas? You know what I heard about that pulsa
Speaker 1: uh fight in downtown in the streets. You gotta give
Speaker 1: Eddie Hearn some credit for I love that idea. I
Speaker 1: love that idea out in the middle of main street.
Speaker 1: So something like that, something created a fight Island creative,
Speaker 1: Downtown creative or who knows Alcatraza didn't hear any creative.
Speaker 1: So I am in supportive and Alcatraz Island boxing match,
Speaker 1: I will I that would be great. Well, Sergio, I
Speaker 1: wish you all the best and all the luck of
Speaker 1: these next few weeks with the Zone. Will. I'll be watching.
