And Huddle is a production of the NFL and partnership with iHeartRadio. Oh like a thou what's good everybody, Congratulations on an excellent podcast. Choice. You have found Nirvana. We like to call it the l Huddle Podcast. Will Save alongside My Ermana, My Prima Prima Ermana, MJA Costa, always bost Will It's like we never left. Yeah, it's like we never left. You know. We are in the throes of getting ready for the draft and we already went in dealt and covered the scouting combine and we always look for those names that stand out to us in particular, that appealed to us on this podcast, and one of them is Christian gonzale Us from Oregon. He is an absolute stud, has the size, has the speed, He's an absolute ball hawk. Sure he has room to improve, but he is a talent with plenty of room to get even better. Started all of his games in college, and we stood out to us as he is Colombian, Yes and laming through so good. Yes, we love that. We've talked about on this podcast. Latino's Latino. That is what we're saying with searching. Yeah, yeah, it is now and it is a search right. I mean, we've said it. It's like we want to have more Latinos and Latino voices, right, we want to have that in the sport. And he is one that really has talent evaluators salivating right as they should. I'm I mean, he's I call him a legacy, right because his entire family is athletic. His dad played basketball, and both of his sisters are superstar track stars, one of whom is joining us. Well, this is so freaking cool we get to say we have an Olympian on the l Hundle podcast. Welcome in Colombia, Olympic hurdler Melissa Gonzalez. Melissa, thank you so much for coming out. Oh thank you for having me. I'm so excited to be here. So first and foremost training for an Olympics, making an Olympic team representing Colombia on top of that, I feel like this is almost destiny for you, right, This is You've been an athlete your whole life, but making it to that level. I was actually covering the Olympics for NBC Sports for the On Her Turf podcast when you were in Tokyo, and I remember just going, okay, so, looks like me here we go. But that means something, right, especially for the next generation of young girls who are watching. Totally. Man, thank you for watching and cheering me on. But yeah, I think it's so special to see someone that looks like you achieving their dreams and on a big stage. And I'm happy that I am able to do that for my siblings, for other people watching as an honor. Really, Melissa, when did it hit you that I am representing Colombia right now? Like when did it hit you? Like the gravity of it, the weight of that. Oh man. I think at the Olympics that was like a whole nother level because I had represented Colombia on the national team and a few other competitions and a Pan American game, South American Championships. But I think the first time that I walked into the Olympic stadium in Tokyo and I just saw like how awesome it was, that was like whoa, this is this is the real deal, Like, yeah, this is different than anything I've ever done, And just to know that I had the support of the whole country behind me was awesome. You know. I always wonder that because you know, we work around athletes, were around athletes all the time, and I know when go mode switches for folks, right, But we hear from the guys here in terms of the NFL, like they're like, Noah, when you walk into the stadium for a Super Bowl, like that feels different, So can't we can't confirm now through Melissa walking into the arena for the Olympics definitely hits different no matter how long you've been doing it. Um. Do you get to visit Columbia? Um? Often? Still? So I haven't been, and I didn't go last year. I haven't been this year at all. But typically in a regular year I will go often just for competitions. And I still have a lot of family there too, so that's always really fun. I'll get to go and stay with my family and see everyone and then also competing there. Hopefully I'll get to go next year. Yeah. It is such a beautiful country. I've been lucky enough to visit it, not only Cartagena, but Bogota, and the people are so amazing, so nice, The Andes Mountains are there. Bogota is so cosmopolitan, it's like you want to bottle it up and take it with you or have people actually go visit it because it's such a beautiful country. What do you tell people that are maybe hesitant to go to Columbia because I think they're personally missing out too. It's literally anything like that you love about traveling anywhere you can find it. In Colombia. There's so many different regions. There's different kinds of food, there's different music, they're different landforms. I mean, there's two different coasts, there's mountains, there's really hot places, there's places where it's not as hot. There's so much culture, and the people are amazing. I love when people tell me that they visit Colombia and they're not actually Colombian because it just makes me excited for people to see how amazing and beautiful that country is and the culture is. So I would say go for it, because I would be very surprised if you didn't go and have the best time. I haven't heard a single person who's visited who hasn't raved about it. It's been on my bucket list for so so long. I hope to check it off. You gotta go, you gotta go it, just like there always just seems to be like this hesitancy, you know, I think because of the history there, you know, which is, which is too bad. Yeah, yeah, but that's why you can't. We speak so much so often about sort of like stereotypes and people just sort of sticking a label on the culture right when it's so nuance. There's so many layers, especially when you talk about going there and visiting and really interacting with the folks there and seeing what it's really like. I love that. Your dad, so we have this common thread here. Your dad played professional basketball in Columbia. My dad played on the national team in Dominican Republic basketball as well. But your entire family all athletes, your sisters, well obviously your brother, who were super excited about I have not been shy about saying he's my favorite prospect. I'm like, so like, we're all thinking up it's so so cool. But being in a house full of athletes, I would imagine very busy, very competitive. What was that like growing up? Yes, definitely very busy. I mean all of us just always had something to be at, whether it was a game or a competition or even like other extracurricular activities. We're always involved in something and competitive. But I'm so supportive and I think for us, especially as siblings, like we kind of don't know any different. So for us, it's just like part of our life to be like, oh, hey, okay, Christians has a game this weekend, let me send him an encouraging text, or like, of course we're all going to be there if you can in person. But it's just cool to be to know that all of us are no kind of what it's like to be competing at it on a huge stage and we all have each other's back. Yeah. So Christian is really rising up those draft boards and showed out that he is. He's really really good, like four point three eight in the fourty of the combine app salute stud. What I really want to know is he's your little brother. How annoying was he growing up? Yeah, you can tell us how annoying was he. He was not annoying, honestly what he knowing? Boy, right, that's not true. I promise you he was not annoying. He's eight. He was born when I was eight, so we have eight years in between us. So I feel like that age gap kind of like we didn't get on each other's nerves. We just really got along really great, and I really really wasn't annoying. He was so like, yeah, and he's been competitive and playing sports from like my earliest memories of him being around. So yeah, he's just been super fun. And I think the fact that he has three sisters helps out that part. Yeah, so same dynamics in my valley. My brother is eight years my junior. He's the baby and he's the only boy. He is a thirty year old man, and I'm like, oh, my baby brother, Like that's still how I see him. Is that's how you see Christians as well? Oh yeah, for sure, definitely. It's like, I don't care if you're about to be playing the NFL, you are my baby brother always. I've got fo older brothers. I'm the youngest, so I'm speaking from experience of being annoying from my elder brothers. And I'm sure they can touch for that. But you know, it's like he has really impressed And I'm sure now if NFL evaluators hear this and say, Okay, he's not annoying, let's check that box now. M Is there a hidden talent of his something that we don't know about him? That is a pretty cool fact. That's a great question. He's actually really good at cooking, Like, oh, I guess you must have got it from my dad. My dad always cooked growing up, and kind of out of nowhere, I feel like he just started cooking. And so sometimes like when he's home, he'll cook for everybody and we're like, where did this even come from? So definitely he's a good cook. Oh we love that. Yeah, what does he cook? All kinds of stuff and he like will make something up in his head and he'll make like some pasta dish that he's like, oh, it just sounded good to me, and I'll just figure it out. And that's Gonzalas. Wow. Yeah, I was not facing that. No, No, it sounds like he's a catch too. He can cook and he's a football player. Um. Well, first of all, also, congratulations to you and David. I'm the little one that's coming. We're so excited for you, so happy. I forgot what I was. I was scrolling next to someone and we're like, oh no, it's also having a baby and they're like, oh, d one, baby's coming through. Right. Let's just athletes, athletic jeans all around. Um. But it it's so exciting this new sort of stage for you guys. What are you most excited for? Oh? I think just like figuring out what life is going to be like. I think we're just in like the waiting game now and we just want to meet the baby and just see what the personality is going to be like, and just see what our life is going to look like with a whole new edition, right right, But you didn't nine? All right, Hopefully I'm back in Columbia next year. So we do you steel trained? Now? While you're so training looks very different for me right now, I haven't. I'm not really running much but doing other things which I really enjoy doing, other like finding other ways to be active and taking a break from running is always good for your mental health and just physical physically, good for your joints to do other things that are like not as high impact. But yes, I will. I would love to continue training if that's something that I feel like doing once the babies here. Exactly. That exactly. Also, like I've taken a break from running for the past like two or three years. So like to your point, I can just tell my trainer now, I was told buy an Olympion that it's healthy for me to not so thank you for that vote of confidence. But look, it's it's always exciting to reach a new stayed in your life, and I love that you put it that way. If and when I'm ready, I'll do it then, because I think so often women have this pressure to get back to it, especially when you're a competitor and an athlete at your level. So I think there's there's a lot to be said about, um, just the mentality that you've had your whole life about what to put first and how to do that. And I'm really proud of you. I'm really excited to also see cute little baby. Our producer has the same birthday as you as your due date, Randy, so he's already said that, Um, you listen, and if you're looking for baby names, you don't have to tell us the sex of the baby. But Will is a good boy's name, just throwing out there now, it's a good Randy immediately said, now come on, come on. So you guys must be throwing names back and forth though, right and and has it been an arduous process or are you guys like got it? That's what we're gonna do. We we settled pretty quickly. We we're not going to find out the gender of the baby. Oh, yeah, total surprise. So we had to pick one of each, and surprisingly we kind of just went with like the first one of first boy game, first boy name, and first girl name that we kind of both liked and we've just kind of settled on those. So this is so exciting, such like a chill vibe. She's not annoying, you know, it's like you and David just come up with the names right away because they're so chill, you know, but so incredibly happy for you guys in such an exciting time. Um, you know you talked about being in a holding pattern. I think this is really important because sometimes in the public's eyes, they look at athletes just as almost these transition, these these transactional pieces, right, and so they say, okay, well David Blows going to this team. Well David Blow is going to go to that team. And that's hard, you know, on on a marriage and on a family, and obviously you guys have lived that life and and we were able to see it unfold, you know, on hard knocks. How how do you guys manage to do it? You must have such a great relationship because there are some ups and downs in some patients and some uncertainty that you both have to go through together. Yeah, I think is a tricky dynamic. But I would put probably all of the the good things that come from our relationship happen because of our faith. And I really think that we both really have such a high importance on keeping our relationship with God strong, and I think that really helps us be able to deal with everything else that we have to deal with. And I think David would say the same thing, but yeah, I think making sure our relationship with God is right and then we can deal with whatever whatever else we need to. I will say as like calming, because your vibe is so calming too. By the way, I have anxiety moving forward. But I do know that that David is sort of your soft spot because remember watching you watching him in the game and you were freaking out, which it's fair. Not only is that your husband, but it's also as a competitor, you know sort of what goes through in his mind. Has your brother been able to sort of lean on the two of you, and given that you've both competed at the highest levels and your respective sports, just as a good resource, right, I think I feel like the family bond there is going to be so crucial for him. What a blessing for him to have that. Oh yeah, for sure. I mean we're always here, like he will have little questions here and there of things for David, like NFL specific things, and yeah, we just always are trying to encourage each other. But it is definitely a cool dynamic for us all to be at such a high level of our sports and just kind of get it. And I think that's comforting to be around other people who get it, you know how. You know, you talked about how important it was to represent Columbia, right and what that means to you. Um, you know, Christian is going to go into the NFL and people are going to see Christian Gonzalez right there, and that carries some weight too. Does he understand the magnitude of what comes with being a Latino that's playing in the NFL and hopefully we'll be playing at a high, high skill level. I think so. I think he's super proud to be able to say that he's after Latino And yeah, I think just growing up with the culture that we grew up with and our family being still in Colombia, there's just so much support and I speaking for myself. I know that it's just awesome to have that support system. So I know that he feels the same way and has people texting him and all the things like that, and it's just it's an honor to be able to represent our dad's country in our country. Um, when whatever we're doing, please let him know that. I'm sure he sort of seems he's just as mild mannered as you are, route like very very chill. I will go ahead and be the obnoxious one, the forward facing obnoxious, like Honorary no, no no, no, because listen, the second I was going through the research back and I was like, wait, wait a minute. So of course we immediately start doing the deep type like where's he from, where's he coming? Oh my god, wait he's his brother. So it was my level was on ten and did not stop throughout the entire combine. And we are bringing that same energy headed into the draft, not only for him, for you and David as well. We're so excited just for the entire family. We will continue to follow your journeys and thank you so much for coming through to day, Melissa, where we're really really high for us. Honorary Gonzalez is um well welcome into the family. Yes, I'm so glad to be here. Thank you guys for having me. Melissa was so great. Adore her and love her, love her story. And I still can't get over the fact that Christian Gonzalez is not annoying. I find that. I know, we gotta leave Diver. That's a good it's back. But she's a protective bixist, So even if he was annoying, she's like, nah, we ain't going down like that. That stays in the fam, that stays with us no matter what. We love it. We love that she came through and and so happy that we got to learn a little bit more about him. So now when he comes on the Huddle podcast is our call to action for Christian. We'll swap recipes because I want to know some of those post recipes that she was talking about. Thank you guys for listening. I hope you enjoyed our combo with mel like we did. Um. Now we're counting down. I wonder if we'll get an invite to the baby shower too much, too much, we'll just admire from that. I'm gonna invite myself. I'm just gonna find myself. We get good gifts, get good gifts. Can confirm all right, everybody, We'll catch you next time.

Has your brother been able to sort of lean on the two of you, and given that you've both competed at the highest levels and your respective sports, just as a good resource, right, I think I feel like the family bond there is going to be so crucial for him. What a blessing for him to have that. Oh yeah, for sure. I mean we're always here, like he will have little questions here and there of things for David, like NFL specific things, and yeah, we just always are trying to encourage each other. But it is definitely a cool dynamic for us all to be at such a high level of our sports and just kind of get it. And I think that's comforting to be around other people who get it, you know how. You know, you talked about how important it was to represent Columbia, right and what that means to you. Um, you know, Christian is going to go into the NFL and people are going to see Christian Gonzalez right there, and that carries some weight too. Does he understand the magnitude of what comes with being a Latino that's playing in the NFL and hopefully we'll be playing at a high, high skill level. I think so. I think he's super proud to be able to say that he's after Latino And yeah, I think just growing up with the culture that we grew up with and our family being still in Colombia, there's just so much support and I speaking for myself. I know that it's just awesome to have that support system. So I know that he feels the same way and has people texting him and all the things like that, and it's just it's an honor to be able to represent our dad's country in our country. Um, when whatever we're doing, please let him know that. I'm sure he sort of seems he's just as mild mannered as you are, route like very very chill. I will go ahead and be the obnoxious one, the forward facing obnoxious, like Honorary no, no no, no, because listen, the second I was going through the research back and I was like, wait, wait a minute. So of course we immediately start doing the deep type like where's he from, where's he coming? Oh my god, wait he's his brother. So it was my level was on ten and did not stop throughout the entire combine. And we are bringing that same energy headed into the draft, not only for him, for you and David as well. We're so excited just for the entire family. We will continue to follow your journeys and thank you so much for coming through to day, Melissa, where we're really really high for us. Honorary Gonzalez is um well welcome into the family. Yes, I'm so glad to be here. Thank you guys for having me. Melissa was so great. Adore her and love her, love her story. And I still can't get over the fact that Christian Gonzalez is not annoying. I find that. I know, we gotta leave Diver. That's a good it's back. But she's a protective bixist, So even if he was annoying, she's like, nah, we ain't going down like that. That stays in the fam, that stays with us no matter what. We love it. We love that she came through and and so happy that we got to learn a little bit more about him. So now when he comes on the Huddle podcast is our call to action for Christian. We'll swap recipes because I want to know some of those post recipes that she was talking about. Thank you guys for listening. I hope you enjoyed our combo with mel like we did. Um. Now we're counting down. I wonder if we'll get an invite to the baby shower too much, too much, we'll just admire from that. I'm gonna invite myself. I'm just gonna find myself.
