“Was that serious enough?” ❤ 😂

[@user-vb9tq6ev8o]

Sonnet was the KEY in the Olympics. Her quiet introspection was also wonderful to hear. These three are treasures.

[@hallnall1667]

The key was Naeher, her saves were incredible!

[@lianyu3854]

This was the most serious I've ever seen them be together 😂

[@nmikloiche]

Sam, you coached a gold medal interview out of those 2 wingnuts. That may be a bigger accomplishment than the Olympic gold. My only disappointment was Rose snubbing us without a proper Wilma update. Btw. Sam, I know you heart wants to be on the pitch with the girls, and we’d all love to see it, but honestly, I think you are as good a host/podcaster as you were a pro athlete. I love getting to know you more and I’m always impressed with your creativity, your quick wit, your respect for your guest, and your ability to riff but also stay on track. I would love to know if this came naturally to you, if you are borrowing and repackaging info from your player days, if you went to podcaster night school, or what.

[@laurabrevitz3944]

That FOCUS 😂

[@eryginger246]

Yay Rose and Sonnett! Love the chaos that is these 3 together

[@Mickey-ks7tv]

really feel like they are the 2 best veteran leaders on the team tbh

[@alanbrowning4836]

Crystal Dunn would be my pick. Very mature. Very outspoken. Rose and Sonnett are the entertainment committee.

[@hupotasso4705]

@@alanbrowning4836And in her own way, also Naeher.

[@ScottBaietti]

Horan?

[@3aRome]

Dunn, Naeher, & maybe even Swanson exist lol

[@bucksin6408]

Sam is completely misunderstanding her audience if she thinks we want super serious interviews with rose and sonnett especially.

[@SaintsGirl59]

Great interview Sam. Glad you told Sonnet how important she was to winning that Gold Medal. Hope she believes it.

[@leahrothfeld5300]

I haven't even watched the whole vid and I can already tell you it's too short

[@wildtaz369]

rose is a icon and sonnett is a hoot well done sam

[@kristina34.21]

“Us??? We don’t hug.” 😂

[@kimberlyballinger9713]

Love this duo (trio!!) Excellent questions from Sam- I have been LOVING the women’s game. So well done. Thank you!!

[@ScottBaietti]

From Snacks to now Sam has really grown soooo much as an interviewer and media professional. Can’t wait to see where she goes from here. Great interview!

[@Bria_001]

Rose + Saucy are dead set on making Sam break character and i am live laugh loving this

[@couturecriminal8330]

Rose is not a good actress she is so authentic in everything she does that she can't fake anything even more than Kristie who is just a straight shooter that is something I like about Rose she is so wholesome😅

[@For_Cruyff_Sake]

I feel like all 3 of you guys should just rewatch the entire finals match and do commentary and answer questions and react to plays and describe if their heart dropped when Ludmila got around Girma ....did they feel a little nervous when Marta got on....what was the rallying message from Emma at halftime...so should Mal continue to do the free kick set piece or should someone else try 😅

[@01FozzyS]

Great and fun interview,Sam! Looking forward to Sonnet's 100th cap which I'm sure will be in the upcoming October friendlies. Congrats again Rose and Em!

[@oliviaheim1887]

trying to decide which of these three is responsible for the friends don’t hug tagline-it’s got rose written all over it!!

[@RobOlson-f4w]

Was that a State Street Brats T-shirt? Rose reping the UW. She'll always be a Badger legend.

[@alansmithee8831]

Hello Sam. The England captain, then a couple of days and two prominent US players. It is like around the football world in eighty hours.

[@baskinsmichael]

Your such a skilled interviewer and story tell Sam. Keep it up.

[@jsp1701]

aw♡ they really did try for you Sammy😅

[@user-yx2fu1ph1k]

Wow they did really well for an interview with friends

[@krisjohnson-proctor355]

My 3 favourite US players ❤❤❤

[@janethbetancourt141]

Aww I loved the ending so much, that was sweet of Sam to say. Almost made me tear up too 🥹 good job girls! Can’t wait for part 3

[@fleischer236]

Rose’s hair ❤

[@johnnyp5216]

24:28 OMG when Rose referred to all of the off side goals in Tokyo……..i cant imagine what that must have been like living through that just based on knowing what it felt like watching it…..

[@donbutts4544]

I also really love how much these two wonderful people love Sam. They know it’s her job now and did great at answering her questions. The silliness probably was out of control after the camera went off though! 😂

[@RoobDube]

I listened to this on the podcast but had to come back and watch the video just to see them jump up and down! Worth it!!! 🤣♥️⚽️

[@yadthink]

That was a hoot, Sam, thanks! I have to say Rose and Emily were perfect fits for this Olympic squad and deserve all the accolades!

[@For_Cruyff_Sake]

I feel like the players that would be super descriptive and forthcoming of their thoughts and opinions and feelings for every part of the finals match would be....Crystal. I would love to get the assistant coach Denise's perspective on the progression of the final few games, players that had the most growth in the tournament, which parts she felt was shaky, maybe the lineup if it really did go to penalties, if Uncle have been nailing her bicycle kicks for any 120th minute match still tied final usa corner kick miracle hero moment 😂

[@laurabrevitz3944]

I'm sorry, I just visualized Naeher doing a bicycle kick. 🤣 You know what? I bet she could do it. 😂

[@piemacri]

Another great interview. I loved the “this is my job” lol Rose and Sonnett were so good the whole tournament, can’t wait to see them back for Gotham! Go bats!

[@jessmagoa]

You do such an incredible job always and we know it’s your job but I’d love to see that natural playfulness/silliness come out a lil more when you’re with former teammates and friends!

[@laurabrevitz3944]

"Spackle" Sonnett, holding the whole thing together. 😆😆 Great interview, Sammy. I'm glad to see them, and to see you hanging out with them. ❤

[@Graceee1316]

I love this trio sm!

[@willcav]

i’ve never been so early to a vid

[@alansmithee8831]

Gold Rose this Olympics.

[@donbutts4544]

❤ Rosie!!

[@lukehferris]

Rose's Wisconsin tee is iconic.

[@user-ct8ei2vj6v]

Great interview Sam ❤👏👏👏👏

[@mylesgideon5843]

Loved this!

[@yeagershots]

I love content creator era Sam!

[@user-te5hj5ux1g]

Rose: Exactly😅

[@mikeevans4585]

29:33 Sam's best question

[@mayraaroche8192]

Love both ❤❤

[@Makeyoursomedaynow]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️that made me so happy from beginning to end!! I also love the worst podcast you ever made on snacks! Either way I’m good!

[@peklyn]

That last question 😂😂😂 was that serious enough? LOLOL

[@bluecalix]

Best channel on KZbin

[@Arctic-void-z7f]

No way I was just thinking I wonder when rose nest be on the pod 😱

[@oshea03]

Poor Sam, you tried to get the most out of them as best you could asking them great questions. Was like pulling teeth trying to get behind the scenes insight 😅

[@davidritze1817]

Somebody want to count how many times the word LIKE was used. Like it was at least a 1000 +

[@TheMickaelD]

The jumping up and down isn’t Sonnett’s thing but deep down she loves it 😝

[@michaelgoldberg518]

just curious if Sonnet has a 1st name or just 1 name like a Brazilian. Ronaldino, Ronaldo, Kaka, Dunga, Neymar, Sonnet

[@alexandradeighton599]

Her first name is Emily but no one calls her that lol

[@kristygetty6003]

Emily is her first name

[@melisachong06]

They are too serious!😂😂

[@mayraaroche8192]

Love it ❤❤

[@baskinsmichael]

Also the editing team is doing great.....so funny

[@anoopgopikala8237]

Nice ❤❤❤

[@3aRome]

So did they basically confirm that Lily is committing to the USWNT??

[@justafan323]

I was wondering same...I wouldn't imagine they would have inside info. Maybe wishful thinking. I'm keeping my fingers 🤞🤞🤞🤞

[@BW_NYC8]

@SamMewis, you are great at interviewing but you need film clips that show what you are referring to for those who don't know the games you are discussing with players on your pod as well as this interview.

[@mikeevans4585]

The search function is your friend

[@chellebelle4738]

If they added game clips they’d have to worry about copyright laws.

[@frederickstibbert7389]

Adding film clips would add bulk hours to production & editing time.

[@Be_a_Pineapple]

IOC is highly protective of their media rights so any Olympic content would get strikes

[@giggsy37]

We all know why this what’s Sonett and Roses redemption

[@jennydecker6050]

Sam, great job.

[@ashbabe1945]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@leehampton9287]

I love Rose. She is my absolute favorite USWNT player. She is a magician with the ball on her foot and can spearhead the offensive attack going forward. But can someone please coach her to eliminate the word "like" from her vocabulary during interviews? I realize that she's still relatively young, but it makes her sound like a teenager. I'm certain that the team has a media advisor. Can that person please work with her on her interview vocabulary?

[@lizziechin2162]

"best friends don't hug".. really? 😅😂

[@shelldonsilva561]

Yes. Exceptional women! But how many times is the word 'like' used out of context.

[@genericuser6023]

Mewey looking like a snack.

[@RodolfoRussell-n8q]

Martinez Robert Rodriguez Margaret Clark Betty

[@k.okeefe3125]

Neither seems particularly excited about winning the gold. Or feeling particularly accomplished. As if they had a job to do, they did it, and now its done so move on. I think it has to do with this idea of it being a beginning vs. an ending. And my comment isn't a criticism at all. Just interesting.

[@Andelani_Ikwueme]

Sam Mewis should study Julie Foudy, and learn the art of conducting interviews like a friend and former teamate, not like a streight up "Journalist" that's why footi fans like former players doing interviews not "Journalist" who never played. Tip never start with "this is my job lol"

[@davidt3956]

I always put maple syrup on my paincaves

[@user-ho3ib2be8u]

Sam Mewis, during this interivew, at 23min, why you didnt say and give credit to Korbin ?

[@edward2497]

Why won’t rose accept my marriage proposal? Those legs! 😍😍😍😍😍
