Summary
Taylor talks with Jeremy Ebobisse of the Portland Timbers and the USMNT about a wide range of issues, including why the BPC initially formed, what their short, medium and long term goals are, and why feel good moments can't be prioritized above long term battles. Plus, why it's okay to keep binge-eating Ben and Jerry's and why MLS probably won't stop you from doing so.
And here's a link to the piece Jeremy wrote which was mentioned several times in the interview.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, hello everybody and welcome to the totalcer Show. I'm Taylor Rockwell. |
| 0:25.3 | No Daryl Grove on today's episode. Today's episode was recorded yesterday, Saturday, July 4th. |
| 0:31.5 | Instead of Daryl Grove, I talked to Jeremy Ibopisi of the Portland Timbers. He joined me from a hotel room in Orlando, and we talked |
| 0:39.6 | about many, many different things, including what it's like to be in the bubble, about the Black |

| 1:00.0 | The atmosphere is a little bit unnerving, I would say. |
| 1:05.1 | You hear a little bit of rumors here and there about what is possibly not going perfectly to plan. But again, I think it's about |
| 1:13.3 | everyone doing their own individual responsibility and hoping that that element of luck |
| 1:18.9 | falls our way as well so that we can we can do what we're put here to do. And that is play the |

| 1:34.6 | Is there much like social interaction and how much training is going on as well? |
| 1:39.7 | I got down here last night, and immediately before we got to our rooms, we got tested. |
| 1:46.0 | And then from the moment we got tested, we came up and straight into quarantine. |
| 1:54.7 | So I haven't been out of my room in the last 12, 15 hours until our test results come back. |
| 1:59.1 | And from that moment, we have a little bit more mobility. |
