Bonus: Athletics LLC S3 E45 'More "BESTS"' February 24, 2023 · The Gill Athletics Track and Field Connections Podcast

• 0:03
  The championship weekend last of the championship weekends so
• 0:09
  that's what Excel see. Remote as good as ever, right?
• 0:15
  I think, at one point we have to see you.
• 0:19
  How if we can get all of us remote and not in the places
• 0:24
  that we usually report, I think the best we've done the most
• 0:27
  we've done is only one. Person is home.
• 0:31
  So we'll have this, that's what we currently have four, right?
• 0:34
  Well, as it stands, all of us, except Lamar should be in New
• 0:39
  Mexico. Like, if everything stays as is,
• 0:44
  yeah, good. I'll take that Knock-Knock for
• 0:52
  that one. Welcome everyone.
• 0:59
  Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh.
• 1:00
  Some I want to fly me to Albuquerque.
• 1:02
  Sure. That's no.
• 1:04
  There you go. Well we'll all pitch in
• 1:06
  Southwest the EP will literally never fly.
• 1:20
  Again, I wouldn't fly Spirit Airlines to save someone's life.
• 1:29
  Anyways, lied. How are you doing tonight, sir?
• 1:36
  I am in Albuquerque New Mexico again which apparently I have to
• 1:41
  move to at some point because we're here for the Mountain West
• 1:47
  Championship. Let's get started tomorrow.
• 1:49
  There is apparently crazy weather and a whole bunch of
• 1:52
  people have had a bunch of travel issues so I luckily got
• 1:57
  here in one piece and on time. So great, very grateful for that
• 2:03
  and, you know, we going to rock and roll.
• 2:04
  I almost ended up. Pain Spirit when Southwest
• 2:07
  cancelled, my first flight in two days ago like he and I'm not
• 2:11
  doing Spirit who's going right. I really wonder, I truly wonder
• 2:20
  if there is an NCAA team who I'm going to say regularly more than
• 2:28
  once as trouble in spirit. Good - I'm curious, I can
• 2:34
  confirm at least in to in 2017 2018.
• 2:41
  Iowa used to fly on Spirit a lot because they were The places
• 2:48
  they were going Spirits flights, were like way cheaper.
• 2:54
  So, I don't know if they still do, I don't know if that was
• 2:56
  just a one year thing. It was it actually cheaper
• 3:03
  again. Yeah, you're not going to get
• 3:05
  into the nuances of Spirit Airline.
• 3:07
  No, we are not cuz he has even even I'll say this the pricing
• 3:12
  and the nickel and diming to like as bad as those things are,
• 3:17
  those aren't even the reasons I wouldn't fly spirit.
• 3:22
  All right, all gasp no Governor. That's hilarious regarding its.
• 3:27
  I love it. I literally love it.
• 3:31
  Well, you know you guys are about to enjoy your conference
• 3:36
  weekend. We just had ours men finished
• 3:40
  second, highest points we've ever scored at a conference.
• 3:46
  Meet on the men's side. Awesome.
• 3:49
  They showed up and showed out And I think we're very excited
• 3:56
  about what outdoor holes, because there's so many more
• 4:00
  opportunities to score points. So women finished fourth, could
• 4:08
  have had a better meet but we got an NCAA qualifier out of it.
• 4:14
  I don't, I mean you can't you can't assume anything.
• 4:19
  But six meters 46 should get into the dense so I'm very
• 4:24
  excited for that young lady. Well yeah, I mean you know how
• 4:30
  it is conferences. Crazy people do Off the Wall
• 4:34
  stuff I cannot wait to be a spectator because I just know
• 4:40
  from coast to coast we're going to see some fireworks.
• 4:44
  So good luck to everybody. I can't wait.
• 4:49
  Wait. Well said, love it.
• 4:54
  The Morrow's died. Literally practice this two
• 4:56
  seconds ago. Lamar Mustafa Abdul, Malik
• 4:59
  Shabazz Muhammad. I can't believe I got that up
• 5:09
  that smoothly. I'm not gonna lie to you.
• 5:11
  I'm impressed and it just proves what I say all the time that
• 5:14
  you're actually glad. I've been saying it for a long
• 5:17
  time. I'm not in the only person that
• 5:20
  has said this, you know, it is what it is, exactly.
• 5:25
  Yeah. Anyways, how are you tonight
• 5:27
  sir? I am honestly, I'm great.
• 5:32
  I seem to have quintuple my ability to multitask over the
• 5:37
  last year. So having 17 things to do at
• 5:42
  once or in one day, doesn't seem to bother me way.
• 5:44
  It used to. Today, has been an action-packed
• 5:47
  like five. Venu three City kind of day but
• 5:51
  I'm not stressed nor bothered by it.
• 5:53
  So I'm getting ready for I guess my ncaa's I booked a couple
• 6:03
  thousand dollars worth of travel two nights ago for the The
• 6:11
  Cactus League, spring training and the grapefruit League spring
• 6:15
  training. So, I will spend three Whirlwind
• 6:19
  days in Florida and four days in Arizona or vice versa Kaymer,
• 6:24
  which I think it might be, it might be forward for it.
• 6:26
  And three years old about Sounds tough.
• 6:31
  Sounds like it's, you know, it's funny like it's one of those.
• 6:35
  I'm not gonna lie, like, Going to spring training.
• 6:39
  There is some fun to it, for sure, but it's definitely like,
• 6:43
  oh, you're going to go to Florida like, oh, we're gonna go
• 6:45
  there. Something like that.
• 6:46
  It sounds great. It's not, it's not like that,
• 6:50
  you know, like You know, I gotta go too.
• 6:55
  If you know anything at all about the peninsula, Florida,
• 6:57
  I've got to go to Dunedin, Florida, and I've got to go to
• 7:00
  West Palm, so they're like four and a half hours apart.
• 7:04
  So, what I'm doing is flying into Orlando and then going this
• 7:08
  way coming back - this way coming back.
• 7:13
  So I will spend more hours in a car.
• 7:17
  Probably then I will seeing my guys but that's okay.
• 7:21
  So what you do? Yep.
• 7:25
  And growing off of what you do. Well, we do is talk about Jack
• 7:31
  is back, what's up? Okay, let me say this, and I
• 7:42
  really mean we mostly me, but we We were very, very, very Petty
• 7:51
  last week as it pertains to USA championships and rightfully, so
• 7:57
  rightfully, so hopefully, so I stand by everything.
• 8:01
  I said, rightfully. So luckily.
• 8:04
  Luckily the very few stars that showed up showed the hell out
• 8:11
  the lift we did and Bravo and standing ovation to me.
• 8:17
  Miss Anna Hall. Yep.
• 8:20
  Okay. Miss Aleeah Hobbs, right, like
• 8:25
  it's hard to single-handedly save what?
• 8:29
  Otherwise really bad tracking. You just gonna diss the world
• 8:33
  record holder? Hold on, hold on.
• 8:35
  Okay, I'm just checking sorry, sir, continue to get those to
• 8:41
  know to get those two doing what they did.
• 8:43
  And then to have the Hannah price come through with the
• 8:47
  bomb, Mom and get there right? Like those three ladies right
• 8:54
  there. We're more than enough to
• 8:59
  capture attention and make that thing worth watching because
• 9:04
  most of it wasn't. But thank you.
• 9:06
  Ladies Bravo, I couldn't, you know, thank you.
• 9:12
  Thank you. Thank you.
• 9:15
  I just want to say, like, listen, I am anybody who watches
• 9:20
  the show knows, I guess. I'm like some sort of de facto
• 9:22
  like oral historian. My brain seems to remember many,
• 9:28
  many, many things from track and field in life way, more than
• 9:31
  like what I did this morning. I don't know that I have ever
• 9:38
  heard of a person. Attempting a pentathlon. 400
• 9:45
  double No, in any meat. Ncaa's the American Conference
• 9:54
  meet nothing. I have seen a heptathlon 400
• 10:02
  hurdles double for sure. Outdoors, somebody tried that.
• 10:07
  Yeah but a pentathlon 400 double in which.
• 10:17
  Well first of all is ridiculous. Secondly, it's about titude
• 10:21
  thirdly The 400 is two days and they are both after the
• 10:27
  pentathlon. Yeah.
• 10:31
  And you destroy the American record on the front side and
• 10:37
  come within seven. Tenths of a second of breaking,
• 10:40
  the world record. 7/10. And what was it?
• 10:44
  Eight points. Yeah. 10 well nine gosh.
• 10:51
  Five thousand. Thirteen and she's cool. 5004
• 10:56
  Right. It just, I mean, look, obviously
• 11:01
  you everybody who watches the show knows like how I feel about
• 11:04
  Anna Hall and who she is and all those other things.
• 11:07
  And I don't even have to worry about later on people saying
• 11:10
  that I was right. Like it's it is what it is,
• 11:13
  right? But It's very rare that somebody
• 11:17
  is far better than I even think they are. and I I mean I'm not
• 11:23
  going to stand but trust me, this is a standing ovation
• 11:27
  because I think it's amazing. She tried to double the fact
• 11:34
  that she took what quarter mile or showed up to the Woodshed and
• 11:39
  ran 51. Dead is Insane.
• 11:44
  We'll see. That's it for me, right?
• 11:46
  Like I could you could look at it and be like, yeah, but the
• 11:51
  field was trashed. No, no, no.
• 11:53
  Her time was awesome, rapper, Future 10 field.
• 11:58
  The fact that she wanted in 51 flat is nuts.
• 12:01
  She could have wanted much slower.
• 12:03
  Yes. Yeah.
• 12:04
  But she didn't she just blew it out.
• 12:08
  Yeah. Is that what I loved about it
• 12:12
  is? She actually ran and she ran it
• 12:15
  aggressively. She waited tactfully.
• 12:17
  And she ran it as if there was not that she did it.
• 12:20
  But with intention, right? She didn't kind of Lowell it and
• 12:24
  then Sprint to the end. Like she ran it with tact and it
• 12:28
  just multitudes of of why she's an athlete and not just Multis
• 12:37
  athlete. You know, like she ran it with
• 12:40
  knowledge. I think, I think what we're
• 12:42
  witnessing with this young lady is someone that at the highest
• 12:49
  level. Can sit there and say, huh?
• 12:56
  This has never been done. I'll try, I mean the the
• 13:03
  heptathlon for hurdles double are you kidding me?
• 13:10
  And that's definitely been done at a conference meet.
• 13:15
  Not at the national me and look let's be clear.
• 13:20
  She's gonna do this at the Championships.
• 13:23
  I mean look and my favorite part of my favorite part about all of
• 13:27
  it, right? Was like if you just a y'all
• 13:29
  know I'm a I'm into it. Look for subtle flexes.
• 13:31
  If you were paying attention she gave you 2. 1 one was when she
• 13:39
  said you can tell by my 400. My 200 is going to be pretty
• 13:43
  good outside. So what she's telling y'all is
• 13:47
  like this, 400 thing was training Mm-hmm.
• 13:51
  That's right. Like I like, sure.
• 13:53
  I raced because it was a race, but I had to work out to do.
• 13:57
  Yeah, right. That was that was one and two
• 14:00
  and this was the part I love the most.
• 14:03
  She said Jackie was able to compete with all of the
• 14:08
  professionals and it's in other single events and so I wanted to
• 14:12
  be able to do that too and I was like yelling paying attention.
• 14:15
  You need to pay attention to this York this girl cuz she's
• 14:17
  telling y'all I did not come to participate.
• 14:22
  Yeah I came to dominate So obviously, she has been given
• 14:29
  the memo. Yeah, on how to maximize your
• 14:34
  marketability as a multi athlete in today's world.
• 14:40
  You know, we talked about even from recruiting at the
• 14:43
  Collegiate level. We're looking for multis that
• 14:46
  can help us in individual events when needed as a professional.
• 14:53
  There is, you cannot just depend on being a multi not, not in
• 15:00
  this current landscape that we're in.
• 15:03
  And if you're able to line up with the best in the world, in
• 15:06
  an individual event, high jump long, jump, whatever it is.
• 15:11
  You are now adding much value because now you're dabbling in
• 15:17
  their money, right? And absolutely.
• 15:22
  I mean, I loved every minute of minute of her performance.
• 15:27
  Can we talk about femke bull real quick?
• 15:30
  Wait, how about this completely under cover 2 m?
• 15:36
  High jumper vast out of Cunningham.
• 15:40
  Like I'm being serious. I bet you there are 200 people
• 15:44
  that know that she jumped two meters in hand and took two good
• 15:47
  attempts to 2003. Hmm.
• 15:50
  Okay, so we've given vast our flowers and that is what like
• 15:53
  look. First of all, I'm not getting
• 15:55
  cussed out again because we already know somebody was coming
• 15:58
  from my neck. Yeah, secondly Again, it doesn't
• 16:03
  matter. How saw how soft the meat is.
• 16:06
  The athletes are going to show up and like there might only
• 16:09
  been five Superstar women. They're all five of them showed
• 16:11
  out. Yeah, we are hubs 694.
• 16:16
  I mean, yeah, raise your hand if you didn't think Gales American
• 16:21
  record was ever going down. I mean, come on.
• 16:25
  That is amazing. Gail Devers, man.
• 16:30
  And and I said like if you're a fan of hives which I am and you
• 16:35
  watched her over the past couple years, it's easy to say she ran
• 16:40
  9400, it looks different know, it really does.
• 16:43
  Look it looks way different. She is changed tweaked.
• 16:49
  Yep running she's doing things differently now.
• 16:52
  Yep and this version she's always been a finisher.
• 16:57
  Yes I let's be clear about that. He's been a finisher.
• 17:01
  The second half has never been the issue.
• 17:03
  She looks, she looks dangerous. She wouldn't like, she's setting
• 17:07
  it up for the second half. Yeah, is super scary.
• 17:14
  Yes. Super super scary.
• 17:16
  So, hmm. That is a hole that needs to be
• 17:19
  filled? Yes.
• 17:20
  Look, like she's ready to go. Do that.
• 17:23
  Yeah, I just love the fact that these young ladies and their
• 17:27
  coaches are going after people. That everybody else would try to
• 17:31
  not talk about, right? Leg is clear.
• 17:35
  For those of you who aren't paying attention, I'm going to
• 17:37
  cut to the chase for you and a whole is going after Jackie
• 17:40
  Joyner-Kersee has world record in the heptathlon and understand
• 17:42
  this. There's not been another soul on
• 17:45
  this planet that's ever done. Thanks.
• 17:48
  Well considered it. I think they've not even in the
• 17:51
  Congress actually. Like meaning everybody else is
• 17:54
  going after the unthinkable which is 7000 points.
• 17:56
  Mmm, Jackie's, 300 points over that rise.
• 17:59
  Nobody, even though it is very clear.
• 18:03
  We will have this terrible is on a mission for that.
• 18:06
  Yes, people are celebrating. I've topped 7,000 because there
• 18:11
  aren't even for people who have done that.
• 18:13
  Yeah. And no, that's not enough, you
• 18:18
  know? And Alia talked about the record
• 18:19
  at she said, I knew to get the record, I had to have a better
• 18:24
  start that I had in the prelim which tells you, she wasn't
• 18:28
  surprised by that. They've been talking about that.
• 18:31
  That was a plan. Yeah.
• 18:33
  And that's I'm like, I'm appreciative of that because I
• 18:35
  feel like sometimes look, it's like floaters 1049 You know
• 18:41
  what's going to get broken with somebody decides?
• 18:43
  It's breakable. Absolutely.
• 18:46
  Like that's when it's going to get broken.
• 18:47
  Yes, because here's the thing, we all know that if you can run
• 18:52
  1054, you can 10, where you can run 10, 49, I mean right Elaine
• 18:57
  ran 1054. So you did, right?
• 19:00
  So if you can run 1054, then you can run 1049.
• 19:03
  And here's the thing, if you can be Tulane, then you will never
• 19:06
  believe that you can't be laying, right?
• 19:08
  So my point is, there's at least two or three people that should
• 19:11
  be thinking about going after the world record, but they're
• 19:16
  not and their coaches aren't because it's up here.
• 19:20
  All right. So so let's call it.
• 19:21
  What it is. So we operate in a sport.
• 19:26
  That is like at the heart of it. We're all gentlemen and we're
• 19:31
  all latest, right? We conduct herself with
• 19:35
  professionalism, we project that we are all professionals about
• 19:40
  what we do. What are we witnessing right
• 19:44
  now? With Noah Lyles and the way that
• 19:46
  he's acting and what he's actually done.
• 19:49
  Right. Because in that same vein, who
• 19:53
  is thinking about running 1919 right now?
• 19:57
  Yeah. Like probably two people hate
• 20:01
  hate the man, for the way he acts in the way he carries
• 20:05
  himself and what he does and he shows up and he's I am the show,
• 20:10
  right? But look let's not, let's be
• 20:13
  clear. He's already broken the American
• 20:16
  record. Okay, so he is walking the walk.
• 20:22
  Hate him or love it. Like, this is the thing, like we
• 20:26
  all know. We've all been in that realm.
• 20:29
  You have to think about doing the Absurd.
• 20:34
  Yeah, I saw the lies. It's not going to happen.
• 20:38
  Agreed. And I saw like a little bit of I
• 20:42
  don't even know what you want to call it.
• 20:44
  Stupidity is my way people that would like, you know, Noah
• 20:49
  pulled out of the 60s. I ain't nobody care about the
• 20:52
  60. No, he's not worried about the
• 20:54
  60. I don't listen.
• 20:56
  If he even thought his leg was bothering him.
• 20:59
  You pull out of the 60s, right? I'm sorry.
• 21:02
  Six thousand dollar check and no, I don't need the 6K.
• 21:10
  No, okay, he out there working on things like everybody else.
• 21:14
  Not of course, you sit down. Yes, you to guy win it.
• 21:19
  Like whatever good night. I mean in that same token, we've
• 21:25
  just gotten the news that Duplantis is pulled out of the
• 21:27
  Europeans. I mean what is it like at this
• 21:31
  at this stage what is he get out of it?
• 21:35
  Oman at all y'all nothing until y'all like I mean if How many
• 21:53
  people are there really and truly in the sport who like say
• 21:57
  okay well I bring the show. Hmm and if you're one of those
• 22:01
  two or three people like you how long do you get to capitalize
• 22:04
  that it on that like very short amount of time right?
• 22:08
  If I'm him. I will compete for free Almost.
• 22:12
  Never. Hey and and I'm not I'm not
• 22:17
  saying that I know this. I just I just want it to be the
• 22:21
  case. So until someone confirms to me
• 22:24
  that it's different that's going to be what it is in my brain, I
• 22:28
  considered it poetically perfectly Petty, that Ryan
• 22:33
  krauser did not go to USA, okay? Whatever.
• 22:47
  So real quick, let's jump into that and move on, but like I
• 22:51
  said, this to chew when it happened.
• 22:54
  I said, listen, if you ever want to know how little you s indoor
• 22:57
  championships mean to someone just understand that Ryan
• 23:01
  krauser Flew to Pocatello, Idaho to compete in a meat for free on
• 23:07
  the same weekend as us. Indoor championships and broke
• 23:11
  the world record and push the Enduro world record to one
• 23:15
  centimeter further than he is outdoor record.
• 23:18
  So he's in shape shape. Yep.
• 23:22
  Status like I am not going Albuquerque and and and when
• 23:27
  this six thousand dollars to throw over in the corner and and
• 23:31
  you know what, I'ma let my guy Joe Get his first national
• 23:34
  championship because I know he probably gets a bonus and he
• 23:36
  just having twins. And I listened, I wouldn't be
• 23:39
  surprised if that conversation happens.
• 23:42
  Well, I mean that that would be sweet.
• 23:45
  I don't want it to be sweet. I just wanted to be picked, you
• 23:48
  know, it could have very easily be like damn all that.
• 23:51
  Like I'm going to go hunting after the meet and I like, you
• 23:55
  know and and the boar hunting is better in Pocatello.
• 23:58
  I mean, I'm making that up to, but I'm saying like it's Ryan,
• 24:01
  it can? I will say, I bet my answer is
• 24:04
  closer to the truth. He has something else he wanted
• 24:08
  to do and Idaho like go to Sun, Valley and ski Well, that's
• 24:12
  where he used to compete in high school, I know.
• 24:16
  And so like that's sweet, right? Because I would naturally High
• 24:20
  School record there by Franco. I cannot, I cannot see, but he
• 24:25
  probably does. Which brings me to a point that
• 24:29
  I'm, I mean, why are we still running on boards in 2023?
• 24:35
  Nostalgia, that's why for the Nostalgia.
• 24:40
  Yeah, I don't know why they've never put rubber on that track
• 24:43
  in one. I have no idea.
• 24:45
  What's even crazier. Is that a high school kid went
• 24:47
  45 seconds on that track? Yes.
• 24:49
  Yes, you know, that's the answer.
• 24:52
  Is that? No, it is Nostalgia, for sure.
• 24:55
  It's all the same reason why. It's because it's not even just
• 24:57
  boards. It's painted.
• 24:58
  Yeah. Orange and black boards, orange
• 25:03
  and black. You know what's you know what's
• 25:04
  good about orange and black similar color color scheme to
• 25:07
  Fem cables uniform that she thrashed the world record in,
• 25:12
  man. Yeah, so just I don't know how
• 25:16
  long we're sticking with this but to Fem Capo we just want
• 25:21
  your petty because I know where you want to say and I need you
• 25:23
  to say because it's going to be better coming from you than me.
• 25:26
  Some people. The rest of the world needs to
• 25:28
  know, Femme cable, broke the world record.
• 25:30
  There's no, no, I'm saying that's it.
• 25:32
  That's what you need to know. No.
• 25:34
  Thank you. Famke.
• 25:36
  Bowl for taking one of the dirtiest records from one of the
• 25:41
  all-time dirtiest people. Yes.
• 25:43
  Yes, off the books and every time one of these dirty records
• 25:49
  comes off the books. I don't drink, I don't smoke,
• 25:54
  but in my brain I got cigar and some shots like I'm here for it.
• 26:01
  And all of all of the world, all of the fans of this part of the
• 26:05
  world, should celebrate that stuff.
• 26:07
  Every time it happens. Yes, the the Eastern Bloc
• 26:12
  records and some others. It's not just them like, you
• 26:16
  know, you you know what, they are, get them up out of here.
• 26:20
  Sometimes it's a little the new track fans.
• 26:23
  If you don't understand what clad is talking about, go look
• 26:26
  at find a picture of the former world record holder and just sit
• 26:31
  there and look at that picture with it.
• 26:35
  It's it's tough to look at. Not gonna lie.
• 26:40
  I will also say, you know this this is this is like a petty
• 26:44
  palooza for Clyde because he broke the listen, he broke this
• 26:49
  news a year ago and you know, like unfortunately our show is
• 26:53
  new on strike. We tell people a lot of things
• 26:56
  that they are not ready to understand and a year later it
• 27:00
  gets brought to them like with a sledgehammer to the face.
• 27:03
  Okay, everybody understands world record is best thing ever
• 27:06
  done, right right. Okay will fail because of world
• 27:11
  Athletics is wonderful ranking waiting.
• 27:13
  Jesus cables indoor world record, is worth fewer.
• 27:19
  World Athletics ranking points than her 50.5.
• 27:24
  Yes Outdoors. No, no from indoor Williams last
• 27:29
  year, I write. Because it happened at World
• 27:32
  Championships. Yes, no, I just need everybody
• 27:35
  to rewind and play that again and hear that out loud and
• 27:40
  inferior performance is worth more world.
• 27:43
  And ranking. IE money points.
• 27:48
  Then the world record now that there ain't if that don't tell
• 27:51
  you how broken World Athletics and their stupid rankings are
• 27:56
  nothing, can can slam it home any more than that?
• 28:01
  Yeah I put that up on Facebook and my guy Tim O'Neil jumped in
• 28:05
  there to add into that and I didn't even know this one.
• 28:08
  So I found it amazing that Freddy Crittenton who won USA's
• 28:15
  Ran slower, and if I remember lost in Boston, that performance
• 28:24
  is worth more on the rankings, then u.s. agent or
• 28:28
  championships. Hmm.
• 28:30
  Well, folks, it's it's literally insane.
• 28:35
  It makes no sense whatsoever. I mean, we understand why
• 28:40
  they're doing it, but it's just so bad.
• 28:44
  It's So fraudulent, but yes, so it's just it's nuts like because
• 28:50
  it because the right way to do it is they don't even have to
• 28:52
  invent Wheels, right? Like do it like golf or like
• 28:56
  tennis they both have Majors right there.
• 29:00
  Worth the most and no, and no one's debating that the Olympics
• 29:04
  and the World Championships shouldn't be worth more.
• 29:06
  No one's saying that. Yes, Olympics and World
• 29:09
  Championships. Stop right there.
• 29:17
  But nothing should ever be worth more than a world record.
• 29:21
  Nothing. I mean, can we get some world
• 29:23
  record bonus points? Can we get that me rekt?
• 29:26
  There's an idea? No.
• 29:28
  Okay, we can't have chocolate syrup your ice cream.
• 29:31
  There you go. Gosh.
• 29:35
  That's crazy. So there you go, folks.
• 29:37
  Track is back. Traffic is back.
• 29:42
  Alright, so Parking lots more, great things and greatest
• 29:47
  drivers and whatnot. We're gonna flip it.
• 29:50
  I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
• 29:52
  I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry because it was a
• 29:55
  basically an off week end quote unquote, not for everybody, but
• 29:59
  Championship weekend, it's the early Championship weekend.
• 30:03
  Super short, super simple but I have to get this off on track as
• 30:06
  back. Richie Bean, yes.
• 30:09
  Richard Dean Alabama, State swept the swac Championships men
• 30:14
  and women back to his winning ways.
• 30:18
  And if you know anything about the history of that program, you
• 30:22
  know, the rich even been doing this for 20 years the winning
• 30:26
  championships. Okay, as I understand, I'm, I
• 30:30
  don't know the exact number, but I think it's 29.
• 30:33
  And it might be 30 plus now Conference titles, he has more
• 30:39
  Conference titles than any one individual in right now.
• 30:42
  Wow, he should already be in the Hall of Fame.
• 30:46
  We need to get him into the Hall of Fame and for me having helped
• 30:51
  him do some do a bunch of sweeps in the time that I was there and
• 30:56
  then watching Things Fall to Pieces for a little while to see
• 31:00
  him rebound and get this done. Amazing, love it.
• 31:07
  Shout out to the whole staff to snap to Maury could not be
• 31:11
  prouder of them and great to watch.
• 31:15
  Great to watch s Texas and Richie Bean.
• 31:20
  Indeed sorry, sirs know. So I'm going to say this because
• 31:24
  I can I keep saying this for everyone and I know you do.
• 31:28
  I'm not talking to you for everyone who s that notion and
• 31:32
  who he's complaining that he's not in the Hall of Fame Hall of
• 31:36
  Fame. You all need to respond and vote
• 31:39
  for that to happen and nominee. When the letters the alphabet
• 31:44
  send out that email, don't delete that one when they take
• 31:48
  the Hall of Fame. Ian's, you need to make that a
• 31:51
  thing. You can't just complain about
• 31:53
  him, not getting nominated when you don't nominate.
• 31:57
  So, hear me once carry twice and me a thousand times over.
• 32:03
  Don't disregard that media notifications from us tfcc a
• 32:07
  that's real good off my soapbox. So we were talking about the
• 32:13
  best and the greatest and the track is back section segment.
• 32:18
  But now we're going to talk about the greatest and those who
• 32:22
  have never actually won the Medal. an Olympic medal or world
• 32:28
  global so Olympic, or World oof Just making things more
• 32:34
  difficult as you could write, the best tour, we're going to
• 32:38
  default to the governor. See it's tough, right?
• 32:44
  Because there's a lot of people who have won World Championship
• 32:50
  medals who never won an Olympic medal.
• 32:53
  There's actually a lot of those. There are a fair number of
• 32:57
  people who have won Olympic medals and not and not one.
• 33:02
  World Championship medals. Yeah and there's quite a few
• 33:05
  people who have World Records. Who didn't win gold medals.
• 33:12
  But I felt like I needed to challenge us all to come up
• 33:17
  with, who has been dealt. The worst glass ceiling ever
• 33:26
  that? Cuz we know, whoever these
• 33:28
  people, whoever these people are have been in the finals.
• 33:32
  That's very, that's a very so. So let me be clear and I hope I
• 33:37
  didn't blow the assignment here because one this was very
• 33:40
  frustrating question. Very frustrating and I better be
• 33:48
  allowed to say that we're talking about individuals.
• 33:52
  Yeah individual. Okay, so I'm going to give my
• 33:56
  answer. I don't know if it's the best
• 33:58
  answer but I feel like it's a damn good one.
• 34:01
  And, you know, I pulled my hair out trying to trying to put this
• 34:05
  together, but the question is the, the best athlete to never
• 34:10
  get the individual metal correct?
• 34:14
  I'm gonna lie. Okay, Lilly and moodily is a
• 34:22
  friend of mine and I know how bad that fourth hurt.
• 34:29
  And I say this, with all due respect when no Petty intention
• 34:33
  at all, I think Munna is an incredibly gifted athlete and
• 34:37
  she was a hell of a pro and never really gets the respect
• 34:41
  that she her Talent deserves because she doesn't have that
• 34:44
  individual medal. But I mean, you talk about how
• 34:49
  close yeah, I believe it was .01, right?
• 34:54
  Like yeah, for me, it's Moon Ali.
• 34:58
  I'm sure there's a better answer somewhere and in the annals of
• 35:01
  history and that's what I'm waiting on y'all to give me but
• 35:04
  it's for me. I'm going Moon Ali.
• 35:10
  I like it the governator. What you got sir?
• 35:16
  I can't wait for it when I This, I have a really hard time.
• 35:27
  I have a really hard time with this question. so, You're going
• 35:39
  to have to go. The more you're going to have to
• 35:44
  go. Oh man, my research continues.
• 35:58
  Almost like, give a different answer.
• 36:03
  Yeah. Right.
• 36:09
  Right. Not so like so like my initial
• 36:15
  answer like off the top of my head, right?
• 36:19
  No research. Was Jon Drummond?
• 36:23
  Wow, wow. Because like to me a good
• 36:29
  definition of glass ceiling because he literally trained
• 36:33
  with Otto and Maurice. Mmm, he literally won gold
• 36:37
  medals and silver medals on relays. you know, my other like
• 36:46
  immediate thought was Mark Everett American record holder
• 36:53
  at one point. Hell, he was my roommate in
• 36:57
  Sydney and I knew I was like, literally in my head I was like
• 37:00
  finally my guy is going to get going to get in the final.
• 37:03
  In ain't no way he can get in the final.
• 37:04
  He's not going to win a medal and then he didn't get out of
• 37:06
  the first round, and I couldn't believe it.
• 37:10
  Okay, I got one and he's a contemporary and some might say
• 37:18
  I'm actually at fault but some might say rolling McGee.
• 37:26
  Oh yeah, I mean, yeah, 8 m 51. 8 m 51 and I mean I'm in that same
• 37:36
  boat we just came around at the wrong time.
• 37:40
  Oh I mean think about this Joe Greene has one.
• 37:45
  Yeah. Joe Greene has one Global metal.
• 37:48
  Yep. And I do jump 850 in college.
• 37:52
  Yeah, yeah I mean it's you go through that period of time and
• 38:00
  you start looking at those events.
• 38:02
  I mean I had to go search up Eric Walter He's got 11.
• 38:09
  This is a Collegiate record holder.
• 38:12
  This is eight seventy plus like. Are you kidding me?
• 38:17
  Like so yeah let me ask this question because literally this
• 38:22
  name popped in my head and I don't know the answer.
• 38:24
  So I mean the governor will be able to fact check this for me
• 38:30
  faster than I will because I'm slow on the Google.
• 38:32
  But this Dennis Mitchell have an individual record and individual
• 38:35
  metal. T1 USA's in 96.
• 38:44
  Hold on. Yes, yes.
• 38:51
  Yes. 95 metal for in Barcelona 92 92.
• 38:55
  Okay? So, did I think Dennis has one?
• 38:59
  He's got, he's got a bronze in 92 a bronze and Tokyo in 91
• 39:04
  worlds and a bronze and Stuttgart in 93 games.
• 39:08
  Well, there you go. Yep.
• 39:12
  Well that was a good guess though.
• 39:13
  Like yeah. And that's why I've like like
• 39:17
  like I said, my first thought was Jake was JD because I was
• 39:20
  pretty sure that he doesn't have one.
• 39:23
  And like literally I feel like he's the definition of like
• 39:27
  being locked in a candy store of a being allergic to Sugar like
• 39:31
  that man because he knew like, like here's the thing, we all
• 39:36
  have that have trained at a high level You know what, it looks
• 39:39
  like, right? You know what?
• 39:40
  Like in your picture in your mind, you know, where you're
• 39:42
  trying to get to so imagine training with it every day.
• 39:45
  Like you don't have to imagine what it looks like.
• 39:47
  The world record holder is in the lane next to you every day.
• 39:51
  Oh and don't get it twisted. I mean you know this JD had it
• 39:56
  like yeah yeah I mean there wasn't any final he was in where
• 40:02
  he and John and the crew didn't think he was coming out of there
• 40:06
  with a medal. Yeah.
• 40:10
  I mean I think we could help you got one for you what you got all
• 40:15
  the party and then again, I mean yeah yeah, 995 in that era.
• 40:28
  And 1970 something. Yeah, let me find it.
• 40:37
  I mean, this is this guy colas PB is 1960-something windy but I
• 40:41
  don't know what his legal PB is. So it's legal pb's actually 20
• 40:48
  flat. See, what do you read in 1992?
• 40:53
  With a two point? Eight nine, nine, five of the
• 40:56
  1.9. Never won an individual metal,
• 41:02
  one relay metal, but not individual.
• 41:07
  I'm sure this could open up a whole can of worms and their
• 41:11
  whole bunch of folks. Oh, I'm listen, I am now saying
• 41:15
  that that big leagues DM's are open.
• 41:19
  Please feel free to shoot, shoot, dancers, you dance.
• 41:25
  I would love to hear some more stats.
• 41:34
  I'm gonna go back to my girl and throw It's okay.
• 41:37
  First of all, Seven-time NCAA Champion was Moon early.
• 41:43
  Seven times. 12 time, SEC Champion, 20 time All-American.
• 41:50
  Okay. PBS PBS 1085.
• 41:59
  Wind-aided 1078 2201, in the deuce in the Olympic final for
• 42:07
  fourth place. That's rough.
• 42:13
  Like Munna was a star. And all of her Sprint marks at
• 42:19
  the time, you would think, you know, in that era would come out
• 42:24
  with a metal somehow like yeah, like our sport is so brutal
• 42:28
  because like, let's go the other way.
• 42:30
  Michael Bates has an Olympic medal.
• 42:33
  Yeah. From Lane one in the 200 and
• 42:36
  then went on to go play football.
• 42:38
  It's a glad what what you just did.
• 42:41
  Is that you just really opened up Pandora's Box?
• 42:46
  Because there's a young lady from Moon.
• 42:49
  Ali's alma mater are all missing.
• 42:55
  The former NCAA record holder? Yep.
• 42:59
  Oh, absolutely. That called Timeout on her
• 43:02
  career? Absolutely, I mean, Dawn so.
• 43:06
  Well, don't don't say well, absolutely.
• 43:09
  It helped that might be the answer.
• 43:10
  That might be the answer because 1078 in that time period.
• 43:16
  Absolutely, oh Jen. 78221, unreal. 22:04.
• 43:24
  Yeah. Sheesh what's crazy is that was
• 43:29
  my freshman year in college. So I was my first NCAA meat.
• 43:33
  So I was like oh man you know ya in person.
• 43:37
  That was the meat that Dennis fall started in the hundred and
• 43:39
  then won the 200 mL in his still lifetime PB of 2001.
• 43:45
  Wow, a few years oh yeah, yeah, I'm okay with being old when it
• 43:50
  comes to historical facts because I get to say I seen a
• 43:53
  whole lot of stuff. Like I said, I think Don Babbitt
• 43:58
  is the only person I know of that is in-person.
• 44:00
  See, more records than me now. There might be other people out
• 44:03
  there, but I've seen a lot. What?
• 44:07
  What's next to because this was difficult.
• 44:11
  Yes, I want this. I like this one and and, and
• 44:14
  I'll be willing to bet you that everybody on this show is good
• 44:17
  when we get off the show is going to be like what about this
• 44:19
  one? Yeah oh sure no variation in
• 44:24
  instead of hitting my diems, please comment in the section so
• 44:29
  that everyone can see them and I don't have to relay the message
• 44:32
  that would be amazing. Thanks.
• 44:36
  Cheese. I mean there will still be some
• 44:38
  for conversation but come on. SO speaking of more Best Sand
• 44:44
  best in best best best rivalries in track and field history.
• 44:52
  And that nasty you through the history on there.
• 44:55
  Go ahead. To you have one, you had ones
• 45:02
  out. Yeah, but history is a current
• 45:05
  current as of yesterday is history.
• 45:10
  Okay. Yeah, yesterday is history.
• 45:13
  We'll just back it on up what she was trying to say and track
• 45:17
  and field there you go, I left it because yesterday And so
• 45:30
  should we just let it go first or go ahead type bathroom on
• 45:35
  Petty, but you go ahead. Okay, because I think I think
• 45:39
  he's going to give us a legitimate answer.
• 45:42
  I actually want here. Oh, Listen.
• 45:48
  Like any sport. I love rivalries and I actually
• 45:51
  have some answers that I'll Circle back around 4:00 but I
• 45:54
  just want to say this because rivalries has been a hot topic
• 45:57
  of conversation in the current sphere of, you know, chats and
• 46:02
  Twitter's, and give you very much comparison, going right?
• 46:05
  Like okay, I I'm starting to believe that in 2023 people.
• 46:11
  You know, the internet's just made everybody stupid.
• 46:14
  Because here's the thing, the word rivalry he at least as I
• 46:19
  have understood it, Dictates that there has to be a
• 46:23
  back-and-forth. Yeah.
• 46:24
  Rick there has to be like I get you and you get me and we don't
• 46:28
  really know what's going to happen the next time kind of
• 46:30
  thing, right? That's a rivalry.
• 46:33
  Okay, so Sydney doesn't have any rivalries that's dead.
• 46:38
  A Thing mo doesn't have any rivalries that's dead.
• 46:41
  Now at least Sid had arrival. At least there has one.
• 46:45
  It's the capitated, it's a wrap. Okay, yeah, shit.
• 46:50
  So I am a huge fan of fem cable. And I am a huge fan of always
• 46:59
  say her name. Wrong Keely from Great.
• 47:02
  Britain runs 800 hodgkinson. Oh, you're talking about the one
• 47:05
  they put on the internet. Like Crush that one right?
• 47:09
  Look, there's no rivalry because they haven't beat these people
• 47:13
  in anything that matters. Hmm, any time it matters.
• 47:18
  So pause with the Rival, talk as It pertains to those two people
• 47:23
  until they get beat. Yep, as good as Famke.
• 47:27
  Is yeah, there's barriers in the way and last I checked, she
• 47:34
  wasn't in the frame when Sid broke the record by.
• 47:41
  So yeah, let's get to the writer.
• 47:43
  He's almost all those two really don't have it.
• 47:46
  They just don't Yeah, yeah. No.
• 47:51
  So I will be happy to talk to today's athletes about.
• 48:00
  This rivalry that I bore witness to that Lamar for witness to and
• 48:07
  what it created, okay, how many rivalries out there in track and
• 48:14
  field? Create one of the longest
• 48:18
  standing World Records in history.
• 48:22
  It's still there. and to me the greatest law the Rivalry that I
• 48:31
  ever witnessed and it's still there out, there is a long jump
• 48:36
  rivalry between Carl Lewis and like pop now in the definition
• 48:42
  of rivalry, it was not a rivalry until it was one back and forth.
• 48:49
  Hey but if the one okay? Yeah and because there's a is no
• 48:55
  rivalry between Carla and Larry no no and you know, we would
• 49:01
  probably be having this conversation about Larry and
• 49:03
  Carl had Larry had that moment 100% Right.
• 49:11
  And it's you know it's one of those things where you had
• 49:15
  Larry. If you look at his record it's
• 49:18
  far more consistent. This man was a an 8:15 machine.
• 49:26
  But he just wasn't Beating Heart, it just wasn't happening.
• 49:29
  So here you have Mike Powell and they're all, you know, looking
• 49:34
  at the Golden Boy. And I remember having
• 49:37
  conversations with Mike about how much he hated the fact that
• 49:42
  Carl Lewis would show up on a random meet or show up maybe
• 49:48
  three or four times a year and track and field news would make
• 49:52
  him number one in the world when everyone else was jumping. 20 to
• 49:56
  30 times killing themselves traveling around the world.
• 49:59
  Carl showing up on a helicopter dropping down on the track, you
• 50:05
  know? Hey, I'm here.
• 50:06
  I mean, that was and that happened where this man was so
• 50:12
  hated by his Rivals. And, you know, to be to be there
• 50:19
  in Tokyo and to watch that competition.
• 50:23
  I mean, I don't even know if it's 34, Could do it justice
• 50:26
  because you have to go back and you have to understand the pain
• 50:32
  and the vitriol and the hate like this was person.
• 50:38
  And I think if you were to sit down and talk to Mike, you can
• 50:41
  you would he would honestly tell you that he had a moment of
• 50:45
  insanity. A moment of just, I don't care.
• 50:51
  If I killed myself, I am running down his Runway as fast as I
• 50:56
  can. I'm putting my foot down and I'm
• 50:59
  gone. And II would love, you know?
• 51:04
  And I've actually talked to Auto about this, like, how could we
• 51:08
  encapsulate and bring, especially For the Love of the
• 51:13
  event? How is it that we could bring
• 51:16
  that back? To the masses to get them to
• 51:19
  understand jumpers throwers pole.
• 51:24
  Vaulters field of enters. In general, we need each other
• 51:29
  as much as you love to hate. I mean, I will tell you right
• 51:34
  now, I mean, there were days in Zurich or wherever it was, I
• 51:38
  walk into the cafeteria. And I see Pedrosa in the corner
• 51:43
  of the room and the hair on the back of my neck is standing up
• 51:47
  and every Fabric in my being is just like heart rate goes up.
• 51:52
  Like that is the essence of a rivalry that is the essence of
• 51:58
  competition. When someone does that to you,
• 52:01
  you haven't even acknowledge them in the room, but they're in
• 52:05
  the room. That is what?
• 52:08
  Yeah, Marlon, Mike embodied. My favorite part about that was
• 52:12
  is that one of my favorite movies from the 80s is a movie
• 52:15
  called Vision Quest and it was, you know, should watch it.
• 52:18
  It's an incredible movie about like what exactly what the
• 52:23
  governor is talking about going on, an impossible mission
• 52:27
  listening, to people closest to you, tell you, why are you doing
• 52:30
  this? It's never going to happen.
• 52:32
  And then showing up showing out and making it happen on the day.
• 52:38
  Mike. Well, Randy figured out what it
• 52:42
  was going to take to be Carl and then Randy devised, the plan and
• 52:47
  gave it to Mike, it included. It included.
• 52:53
  Claude drills on a Kaiser machine to failure.
• 53:00
  For those of you who've ever done, claw drills and know what
• 53:03
  they do to your hip flexors, imagine doing that on a Kaiser
• 53:08
  machine where you can increase or decrease the amount of
• 53:13
  resistance through failure. Yeah.
• 53:20
  Right? And if you go back and watch the
• 53:22
  meet, Mike had a little bitty shorts, this is what his hip
• 53:27
  flexors look like, yeah, right. Because it was required of him
• 53:34
  in order to not amortize on the board because he wasn't as fast
• 53:38
  as Mike. I mean, it's Carl.
• 53:40
  So he had to use more if you use a greater percentage of its
• 53:43
  horizontal velocity in order to achieve the same takeoff speeds
• 53:47
  and yes, I just nerd it out but y'all Need to understand what
• 53:51
  was really going on. Yeah, yeah, that's a great one.
• 53:55
  It is a great one cannot. Can I throw a historical
• 53:59
  legitimate one? See, here's here's the thing.
• 54:04
  Here's the thing. And I didn't mean to say that,
• 54:07
  that one isn't legitimate. I meant that.
• 54:08
  I yeah, yeah. Yeah.
• 54:12
  Here's the thing about rivalries.
• 54:13
  See rivalry talk. It doesn't matter why they're
• 54:17
  Rivals. It doesn't even matter if you
• 54:20
  know Shenanigans are going on. Carl and Ben Johnson.
• 54:26
  Oh, my God was an epic rivalry Epic.
• 54:29
  No one cares! It's part of what made it the
• 54:39
  Rivalry, right? Like there's no more dramatic
• 54:44
  rivalry history than that one and it couldn't be two more
• 54:48
  different prognosticators in those to write even in the way
• 54:52
  they I ran their races and everything.
• 54:55
  It was Fire and Ice Man. Oh my gosh, that's right.
• 54:59
  Yeah I'll tell you my all time favorite track rivalry that
• 55:05
  should have been but never was oh, like the ultimate
• 55:09
  disappointment of a rivalry. We should have got 10 more
• 55:13
  episodes of this Maurice Greene, and Michael Johnson.
• 55:16
  Oh yeah, how many well, only understands the mara in
• 55:21
  Sacramento? Absolutely.
• 55:23
  Oh my gosh, what they are most disappointing things I've ever
• 55:27
  been a part of? Was there a more hyped up?
• 55:29
  200 than that one? Oh my goodness, like its the
• 55:34
  worst ending ever. Yeah, it was one of the worst
• 55:37
  endings ever. Yeah.
• 55:40
  Before I give my answer, I do want to say this.
• 55:42
  Like sometimes you just get lucky right between the four of
• 55:47
  us. We've probably watch, I don't
• 55:49
  know. 5,000 track meets name me, another me.
• 55:53
  Meat besides that World Championships, long jump
• 55:55
  competition where they showed. 12 jumps on television.
• 56:02
  Yeah, life. That's true.
• 56:04
  Well, they showed all six jumps of both competitors and and to
• 56:09
  that point, I know, I don't know.
• 56:13
  And I'm not sure the governor knows who got third because
• 56:17
  there's a bronze medal in that meat.
• 56:18
  I have no idea who got it. I got no one question.
• 56:24
  I have a question for my panelists on this particular
• 56:26
  issue in modern times. Obviously, statistically.
• 56:36
  And from a medal count perspective, you could easily
• 56:41
  say that Shelly and Fraser Christ.
• 56:42
  And Elaine Thompson is a great Rattler.
• 56:44
  Oh yes. Watch.
• 56:45
  Where is my remarks? Got third Lamar.
• 56:48
  But but here's my crazy. But here's my question though,
• 56:51
  like why do I when I hear those two names and you know, go and
• 56:58
  go one a if you know depending on how you look at it.
• 57:01
  Why do I feel like it's not really a Rivalry.
• 57:05
  Why do? I feel like they've more taken
• 57:07
  turns, then been at their best together racing it out.
• 57:13
  You know why? It's real simple, because
• 57:15
  they're not American and there hasn't been a deep dive into who
• 57:20
  they really are. Because here's the thing, I
• 57:22
  don't think that they dislike like hate each other.
• 57:27
  But I can tell you they don't really like each other.
• 57:31
  Hmm. Okay, that comes through.
• 57:33
  Right? And if they were American, they
• 57:37
  be pitted against each other on television.
• 57:39
  Yes. The back story would be right.
• 57:41
  Is that make sense? Like, it would be a rivalry, but
• 57:44
  what ends up happening is they get lumped together as the
• 57:48
  Jamaicans. Warming up dance.
• 57:51
  The Americans as you say that, think about the Safa Powell era.
• 57:59
  And the bolt era, the you notice they kept those two separate?
• 58:04
  Well, you know, really to say I was also not a right, huh?
• 58:09
  That was also not. You do have to show up for the
• 58:11
  final and win something Gary. So I'm going to give my answer I
• 58:20
  think it might be the best. But we're getting far enough
• 58:26
  away from it. I think the youngsters never saw
• 58:29
  it Evelyn Ashford versus the entire Eastern Bloc block.
• 58:38
  You've given that answer them for what.
• 58:41
  No, but for real a, from a rivalry perspective, like this
• 58:44
  is listen, you've hurt you guys have all heard, both, me and so
• 58:49
  lucious. We talked about Evelyn as if
• 58:52
  she's superwoman, but that's why She her jaw, she had one job.
• 58:59
  Go beat them, dirty Europeans, right?
• 59:03
  The Eastern Bloc. We all knew the Eastern Bloc was
• 59:06
  on drugs, right? And understand, I have to say
• 59:08
  the Eastern Bloc because that's like, at the time,
• 59:11
  Czechoslovakia, right? Which doesn't, it doesn't exist
• 59:14
  anymore Welland East Germany? Poland, Russia, and, and I'm
• 59:21
  sorry USSR because you are was about 50 countries that we
• 59:25
  currently compete against, right?
• 59:28
  It was her versus them. We ran a 4 by 1, right?
• 59:34
  The whole job was to get the job, get the stick to Evelyn.
• 59:38
  Yes, the she will beat them. Damn, dirty, Europeans still one
• 59:43
  of the greatest anchor legs I've ever seen still, and you know
• 59:48
  what's crazy about that race that that somehow gets lost on
• 59:51
  everybody. Blow job was on the track.
• 59:55
  Yep. Hundred percent.
• 59:56
  We would lose. Yes.
• 59:59
  Losing. How you keep dressing, her
• 1:00:01
  hiking dresser. Need to pearls lunch.
• 1:00:04
  A, a, her lunch. And, and you know what's crazy,
• 1:00:08
  is what we what we all had stolen from us, right?
• 1:00:12
  Evelyn. Was the beginning of being the
• 1:00:17
  monster in 76, right? We boycott 80 they boycott 84?
• 1:00:28
  Yeah, right. Which is why again children you
• 1:00:32
  need to watch this show and listen to us when we tell you.
• 1:00:36
  Forget that people are on drugs and then go watch from beginning
• 1:00:42
  to end the 1983 World Championships.
• 1:00:46
  The first one World Championships.
• 1:00:49
  Number one, It may be the best track meet that's ever happened.
• 1:00:54
  And the reason it was so good is because it was the first time
• 1:00:58
  that the Americans and the Brits, right?
• 1:01:02
  The good guys were actually on the track with the Eastern Bloc.
• 1:01:08
  Since 76 six years. Yep.
• 1:01:13
  So seven years. So seven years removed.
• 1:01:16
  Yeah. From when these people got to
• 1:01:18
  race each other and there were World Records broken in there.
• 1:01:21
  Yeah. So my answer is, is Evelyn
• 1:01:27
  versus the Eastern block because I was six when she in 76.
• 1:01:36
  And she was the first Superstar female athlete I ever seen.
• 1:01:42
  So here's one of my favorite modern rivalries and there have
• 1:01:46
  been results to, to give it the title of rivalries, actually
• 1:01:51
  quite I have the, I have probably the most respect for
• 1:01:54
  this one because of one of the protagonist is just who he is
• 1:02:01
  krauser. And Kovacs is a real rivalry.
• 1:02:03
  Oh yeah, I was gonna say that. And when you consider what
• 1:02:07
  krauser is and what he's done. In fact, joke is standing there.
• 1:02:11
  There and beat this dude, biggest ages every now and
• 1:02:15
  again, is incredible. Like, I have so much respect for
• 1:02:20
  that rivalry and for for Joe Kovacs, because he's made it
• 1:02:25
  interesting to watch. I mean, there's no question like
• 1:02:29
  my favorite and I think, what will end up being an epic
• 1:02:34
  historical rivalry? When it's all said and done.
• 1:02:39
  Is Noah and an area night, hmm. Well, that right?
• 1:02:44
  That's a budding budding, right, right.
• 1:02:47
  Come on. We've only seen round 1 & 2,
• 1:02:50
  right? Its kind of seen the battling
• 1:02:52
  shushes right, but I think that what we're going to see over the
• 1:02:58
  next Three. For sure.
• 1:03:01
  Hopefully five six and seven years.
• 1:03:05
  Woo. I'm going to say this, I think
• 1:03:10
  In Our Lifetime one. One or both of them is going to
• 1:03:15
  run under the world record in the 200.
• 1:03:19
  Okay. I understand and if I was going
• 1:03:24
  to say, if I was going to be a betting man, I would actually
• 1:03:26
  bet that they both because they have each other.
• 1:03:31
  Marianne enough in age for it to to Really Matter.
• 1:03:36
  Right? And a sometime like that.
• 1:03:40
  That's the thing. Like That's the thing that that
• 1:03:43
  honestly is kind of a little bit disappointing like like the
• 1:03:48
  Lilah came into her own later you know from a Fan's
• 1:03:54
  perspective you would want because don't get it twisted.
• 1:03:58
  Dalila was the Undisputed goat. Yep, until said figured it out
• 1:04:04
  and now it's an afterthought right?
• 1:04:07
  Is it was old enough, but I mean, that's the thing.
• 1:04:10
  Like the Lilah was closer to 30 and Sid was a child, right?
• 1:04:16
  If you know, Ariana and Noah are not that far apart in age.
• 1:04:21
  So you could get two cycles where they're both still really,
• 1:04:25
  really good, you know what I mean?
• 1:04:28
  Yeah. So, how would you say Lamar
• 1:04:33
  heike and Jackie? See, that's another one I got.
• 1:04:37
  It was an incredible rivalry. We just didn't have enough
• 1:04:41
  rounds. Mmm.
• 1:04:44
  I mean, look if you're if you're a jumper and you don't know it
• 1:04:49
  you again, you need to go back and watch some film because I
• 1:04:53
  mean, I don't know how many times there have been two,
• 1:04:56
  females that jumped over 24 feet and it works in the same meet ya
• 1:05:01
  and that happened more than once.
• 1:05:03
  Yeah. So let's try it.
• 1:05:05
  Let's see if we can get this off succinctly.
• 1:05:08
  The future rivalry that you're looking forward to.
• 1:05:13
  I think he just gave his Lamar just gave is Ariana and Noah,
• 1:05:18
  which yes qualify. So choose got to give us one.
• 1:05:23
  I got one and all gasp no Governor's.
• 1:05:26
  Got to give us one. so, my outside your mind, and I think
• 1:05:40
  it literally comes down. To Rye Benjamin you fry
• 1:05:48
  Benjamin. Can I feel?
• 1:05:54
  I feel for this young, man, I really do if if he can unlock.
• 1:06:02
  That that because it's amazing how everybody at that track.
• 1:06:09
  That knows, track and field knows that rye Benjamin is more
• 1:06:13
  talented. He is more talented without a
• 1:06:19
  doubt. He makes it look effortless
• 1:06:22
  like. Well, let me ask you this
• 1:06:23
  question. If you're looking at, if you
• 1:06:25
  recruiting two kids, right once more talented and ones
• 1:06:30
  definitively tougher, which one, which one would you rather not
• 1:06:34
  see? No, no, no, no.
• 1:06:43
  So you're you thinking that I'm disrespecting Ryan?
• 1:06:46
  I'm not. No, it's not.
• 1:06:50
  Just let me explain. So nobody's trying to act me
• 1:06:54
  talk about, I'm Todd. Listen, I love rye Benjamin, and
• 1:06:59
  I don't think that he's not tough.
• 1:07:01
  The people that it on, waste it, I understand listen to me.
• 1:07:04
  So I can clear this up. People forget that Carson War
• 1:07:09
  home used to be a decathlete decathlete.
• 1:07:12
  Yes, People forget or don't know, the Carson War home
• 1:07:16
  competed the decathlon, 400 double at a European.
• 1:07:23
  Junior meet at the European Jew. He's tough at a level of
• 1:07:30
  psychotic psychosis. Yes, that's my point.
• 1:07:36
  It's not about ride. Not being tough at some point.
• 1:07:39
  I'm listening. There's tough to a point of
• 1:07:42
  crazy and I was no question in my mind.
• 1:07:44
  The war home is there. Mmm, that that is much better
• 1:07:47
  stated the second. Yeah.
• 1:07:49
  Okay. And look, that's fair.
• 1:07:50
  And that's probably the reason we do this stuff in the show,
• 1:07:52
  right? Is like I gotta put my foot in
• 1:07:54
  my mouth and then and then figure out how to take it out.
• 1:07:56
  But I'm just saying this but if you've, if you've seen the movie
• 1:08:00
  car somewhere home was crazy enough to bite his own hand,
• 1:08:03
  that's that that is fine and I am waiting for the day.
• 1:08:12
  Yeah, I'm listen, you know that, you know, that was mine since
• 1:08:19
  the governor got that one off, I'll just go and and Lamar are
• 1:08:24
  did what he did there. I must get past that one and
• 1:08:28
  just say yes. So I'm gonna give you.
• 1:08:33
  I'm gonna give you the other one.
• 1:08:35
  Which, which the clock officially started ticking on
• 1:08:40
  this week, okay? I am here for the Michael
• 1:08:45
  Norman. Fred Curly hundred-meter
• 1:08:49
  rivalry. Wow, I'm here for that.
• 1:08:54
  Okay. Because listen, whether whether
• 1:08:57
  this is part of the calculus or not, it's just too many things
• 1:09:01
  that they have fell into this, right?
• 1:09:04
  Because Fred and Mike were supposed to be the future of
• 1:09:09
  America's 400 meters. And I really wish they would
• 1:09:13
  Back to the well, hey, the money ain't there and apparently this
• 1:09:18
  is the desire, ain't neither. So from Ed dips out on it early,
• 1:09:24
  right without a gold medal but finds one in the hundred.
• 1:09:30
  Yes, Mike fumbles. First year out finds himself
• 1:09:36
  back to, it gets his metal and like you know what?
• 1:09:41
  I'm coming for it. Yeah, you You you can't be the
• 1:09:45
  reigning defending 400 meter champion and step out of that
• 1:09:49
  event, and announce it that you're going.
• 1:09:51
  And of course there's the Nuance of Fred just walked away from
• 1:09:56
  Nike. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:09:59
  Yo, I mean, like, there's so many elements to this.
• 1:10:04
  So I am here for the budding. Michael Norman, Fred Curly
• 1:10:11
  hundred-meter rivalry. I'm here for and that is in no
• 1:10:14
  way disrespect or a shot at Coleman or Bracy.
• 1:10:20
  Who, at this point have Trayvon. At this point who have earned
• 1:10:24
  their due respect in that event, they got the metals behind their
• 1:10:27
  names, right? Hmm.
• 1:10:29
  They got them. Yep.
• 1:10:30
  But if you're talking about star power, That's the Rivalry.
• 1:10:36
  I'm here for That's interesting. I'm more interested in their
• 1:10:48
  specificity. I was a fan of that before, I
• 1:10:59
  know, but I liked it. Listen.
• 1:11:03
  I, I must say this again, I don't, I know, I wasn't the
• 1:11:07
  first person on the Michael Norman fan club, but I
• 1:11:10
  definitely was in the first car. And I want to see this work.
• 1:11:19
  It has to work, like I want to see a bunch of us dudes, run
• 1:11:25
  under 98. Like I said this to somebody the
• 1:11:30
  other day. They didn't like my analogy but
• 1:11:33
  I still like my analogy. Right or wrong and I consider it
• 1:11:40
  wrong. LeBron James caught a lot of
• 1:11:44
  flak for the exit from Cleveland, going to Miami, and
• 1:11:51
  because he did, it had to work. Because he would have been a
• 1:11:56
  joke if it didn't. I mean that's true Fred Curly
• 1:12:01
  caught a lot of fire when he dipped to the hundred and
• 1:12:05
  everybody's like oh the boys and saying what are you doing?
• 1:12:08
  It's never going to end it worked.
• 1:12:12
  And now, he looks like a genius. Right?
• 1:12:14
  Got his payday. Got the medals, two of them,
• 1:12:17
  right? Michael Norman is the rain
• 1:12:21
  defending world champion in the 400.
• 1:12:23
  It better work. Hmm, it has to work.
• 1:12:27
  And I think it will, I think it will, but it has to work.
• 1:12:34
  Yeah, like you can't pull that move and be the real a bear.
• 1:12:39
  He's, that can't happen. Hey, what's a good news is Clyde
• 1:12:44
  and I are finally going to get what we've been asking for,
• 1:12:46
  which is my n went on all pop off.
• 1:12:48
  Finally, gonna get that. I mean, listen, listen, we hope
• 1:12:52
  he's in on Papa. I am confident, they will find
• 1:12:56
  the way to get him on the track now.
• 1:12:59
  No, he shouldn't have to do that, but yes, number one that's
• 1:13:04
  where the Longhorns put him there.
• 1:13:09
  I'm going to say this because you said it in the world needs
• 1:13:12
  to hear it. If we were on Michael normal,
• 1:13:14
  first Flamingo on third area on anchor, like literally it almost
• 1:13:20
  doesn't matter who runs second. But hey, I'll take Noah, I'll
• 1:13:25
  take Fred just plug somebody in there.
• 1:13:29
  That's what I'm saying. Any of them on second leg.
• 1:13:34
  Any of them. You can put any of them there
• 1:13:37
  and give them the lame hand off that the Jamaicans had when they
• 1:13:42
  broke the record and it's blown to pieces.
• 1:13:46
  Yeah. I mean, at the end of the day,
• 1:13:49
  if you really look at how many straight away guys, we have the
• 1:13:52
  truth of the matter is this, if you run Norman, one, and
• 1:13:55
  flamingos three, we could probably break the world record
• 1:13:58
  with a lot of different forceps. As long as those two dudes are
• 1:14:03
  though, in those two spots. But hey.
• 1:14:12
  We get we get the jobs, so. Yeah.
• 1:14:20
  Have mine to throw out there. I went through all the events
• 1:14:23
  that you guys did not talk about.
• 1:14:24
  I wanted to try to find one an odd one.
• 1:14:29
  It's started already kind of, but they've been spotty, but who
• 1:14:35
  now is Katie, Moon getting shot and Sandy Morris and mobile.
• 1:14:40
  That's a good one. That's a good one.
• 1:14:44
  So, and I mean they haven't I don't feel like they've been on
• 1:14:48
  at the same time, literally, we Weeks apart.
• 1:14:50
  But I think now that they're training together to I think
• 1:14:54
  that's gonna but some so fiery scenes, hopefully and and that
• 1:14:59
  definitely has some Rafer Johnson CK Yang thoughts to it,
• 1:15:04
  right? Like with the coach, the same
• 1:15:05
  coach is coach in the gold and silver medalist.
• 1:15:08
  It definitely has some of that too.
• 1:15:09
  Otto, Otto and Moe. Yeah.
• 1:15:12
  How many of us thought that was probably?
• 1:15:16
  I mean in hindsight was it the right decision?
• 1:15:19
  What does Otto Windows Metals? If he's not there, does if he
• 1:15:23
  goes somewhere else. Does he beat Mo like?
• 1:15:27
  I mean, those are things that we'll never know.
• 1:15:29
  Now. Yeah.
• 1:15:30
  Well, that was happening. Was like, man, one, two, one,
• 1:15:35
  two, one, two, three. I know this.
• 1:15:39
  I for one, always thought the JD needed to go to a different Camp
• 1:15:42
  if you ever wanted to beat them. Yeah.
• 1:15:45
  Because the unfortunate part is the best part of what he did
• 1:15:49
  made the best made the weakest part of what they did better.
• 1:15:53
  Yeah. Which just made it impossible
• 1:15:55
  for him to ever beat them? Yeah, because it because they
• 1:15:58
  started with him practice and the oh yeah, he was going to
• 1:16:01
  come back because they started with him every day in practice.
• 1:16:05
  Like they just the Panic that that start would cause on
• 1:16:09
  anybody else's. Yeah, it happened to them,
• 1:16:10
  because I'm like, we good. yeah, but And, you know, we could do a
• 1:16:18
  whole segment on that just at that at that time in the world
• 1:16:22
  HSI old, the world hike. I mean, is only but there's only
• 1:16:28
  been two real clubs in the history of this sport.
• 1:16:31
  Okay, that's not true. There's three there because
• 1:16:35
  Athletics Wester, I think is what it was called that that was
• 1:16:37
  a real Club, but Santa Monica, HSI are the only 2 power clubs
• 1:16:41
  that have really ever existed global week.
• 1:16:43
  Yeah. Right.
• 1:16:44
  So I'm just saying, at that time in the world, Where you going to
• 1:16:48
  go? Which leaves me wonder what we
• 1:16:50
  could have done in Austin. Anyway, to.
• 1:16:54
  Okay. All right.
• 1:16:57
  Well, with all that excitement, we're going to put the cherry on
• 1:17:00
  top by putting the five billion name, man, in the circle for,
• 1:17:06
  would you rather? Oh, I thought you were gonna say
• 1:17:08
  it again. No, I almost did and I was like
• 1:17:12
  yeah that's too much. Can't do it and do it.
• 1:17:15
  Do you want to travel in one day?
• 1:17:16
  A to make that name happen again.
• 1:17:18
  So sir, this one's very short because I think I came up with
• 1:17:23
  good questions but I don't know you.
• 1:17:25
  I think that all the time and you guys stay there Clyde.
• 1:17:29
  I got a text from picks and this one, right?
• 1:17:32
  I got a text on that one. I don't know if he told you.
• 1:17:36
  He told you anyhow. All right.
• 1:17:39
  So you ready? I am.
• 1:17:43
  Alright. This one I did steal from The
• 1:17:44
  Steve Harvey. I think this is from yesterday,
• 1:17:46
  but would you rather get 500,000 dollars?
• 1:17:49
  Cash up front straight up or have three years of paid
• 1:17:54
  vacations in full Five hundred thousand dollars in cash and I'm
• 1:17:59
  confused by anybody else. All right.
• 1:18:06
  Would you rather get into a cold bath / ice bath or do cryo?
• 1:18:12
  I've never done crying and it's funny because off the show
• 1:18:16
  better question to ask you because some baseball guys
• 1:18:20
  wanted to cry. Oh, all right.
• 1:18:23
  So I wish I could give that answer.
• 1:18:24
  I just cry old and I'm old. Remember, Rio didn't exist.
• 1:18:27
  Hey, I feel like I feel like that's an experiment that needs
• 1:18:30
  to happen. So put them in there and get
• 1:18:31
  back with. I agree record it, please
• 1:18:35
  recorded. Yes.
• 1:18:36
  I'm Not Afraid before. And after for all of you haven't
• 1:18:40
  done, cry out, cry out. Is awesome.
• 1:18:43
  It is very cold but it is awesome.
• 1:18:46
  And there's a lot of health benefits besides the
• 1:18:48
  restoration, but anyways, mechanical pencil or
• 1:18:52
  traditional, number 2 pencil. Ask a petit question.
• 1:18:57
  What am I doing with this? Can my drawing something?
• 1:19:05
  Am I am I am I getting my spin on?
• 1:19:08
  What are we doing here? Dear fighting.
• 1:19:10
  You're going so I need to know what it was.
• 1:19:12
  What am I doing? Stabbing, someone am I doing
• 1:19:15
  math? I'm just glad the other three
• 1:19:20
  tiles are the other two tiles. Gave you the same exact look
• 1:19:23
  that I just gave you exactly. Because it's a real question, if
• 1:19:27
  I'm doing math, I want a real pencil.
• 1:19:30
  Okay, well, we'll go with that writing down meet marks, it
• 1:19:36
  doesn't matter. Okay.
• 1:19:39
  See you look? I thought that was a great
• 1:19:41
  question and it isn't that isn't it is a great question but you
• 1:19:44
  just didn't I like math so I can tell you it would definitely be
• 1:19:47
  a real pencil because if you're going to do real math, you're
• 1:19:50
  going to make some mistakes. So you needed a good eraser.
• 1:19:53
  Anybody who's ever really tried to erase with a mechanical.
• 1:19:56
  Pencil knows that's hot garbage. Do you guys remember the
• 1:20:02
  erasable erasable ink pens? Oh yeah, yes and how horrible
• 1:20:07
  they were but still like great at the same time to go away.
• 1:20:13
  Anyway, this is Christina called it like mostly erasable ink.
• 1:20:18
  All right, would you rather eat chips and salsa or chips and
• 1:20:23
  guac? Again I want to meet the person
• 1:20:27
  who picks chips and salsa in this.
• 1:20:31
  What is wrong with your life? My daughter.
• 1:20:35
  I mean, one of my baseball guys is allergic to avocado.
• 1:20:37
  So okay, he would pick chips and salsa put lipstick.
• 1:20:40
  Yeah. Chips and guac.
• 1:20:41
  Sorry. Let me give my answer last one.
• 1:20:47
  Red vines or sisler's. Twizzlers.
• 1:20:52
  Twizzlers, we're not sisters. It's like Red Vines are steak
• 1:20:57
  interesting because there's our HomeTown Buffet.
• 1:21:01
  I'm going to say Twizzlers their middle more Vines, are they are
• 1:21:07
  there? That's because you probably
• 1:21:09
  thought you were eating Twizzlers.
• 1:21:10
  Yes, Twizzlers are more cherry-flavored their little
• 1:21:15
  thicker, little more durable. I like I like the Twizzlers.
• 1:21:22
  Yeah. Today, everybody has been doing
• 1:21:27
  this, start bench cut. Oh wait, hold on.
• 1:21:34
  Before I needed the support of question for the for everyone
• 1:21:38
  stale or fresh licorice. Yeah.
• 1:21:46
  Stale. What is what is wrong with her
• 1:21:52
  rich fail? I'm gonna go again with fresh
• 1:21:58
  and let me continue this case. All you want They've got a nice
• 1:22:07
  and crisp to it. It's not mushy.
• 1:22:09
  Doesn't get stuck in because they're right exactly.
• 1:22:13
  No, they're degrading. Exactly.
• 1:22:16
  She's eating carrion sees. No, anyways.
• 1:22:19
  Okay. Go ahead that I'm done.
• 1:22:24
  Would you rather meet your childhood Sports Idol today or
• 1:22:29
  play or Sports Idol in his or her prime?
• 1:22:34
  So, Okay. What are would I rather meet
• 1:22:41
  Jesse Owens or race? Jesse Owens is what you're
• 1:22:44
  asking do. Am I in my Prime?
• 1:22:49
  Yes rather. Would you rather meet Jesse
• 1:22:54
  Owens? Now now that you're retired and
• 1:22:57
  moved on. I would you rather compete
• 1:23:00
  against Jesse? Owens God?
• 1:23:01
  Those are two so greatly different but meaningful because
• 1:23:06
  I would love to talk to him. Yes.
• 1:23:09
  Now and be like talk to me about this experience and how do you
• 1:23:14
  go to an Olympics on a boat and train?
• 1:23:20
  But the competitor me says, listen, I got six long jumps and
• 1:23:24
  I got 100 I'm getting in that ass at some point.
• 1:23:31
  I guess if those are my only two options, I gotta pick compete
• 1:23:36
  eating again, some okay. Oh, that's a bad idea but I
• 1:23:39
  still think that's the one I would choose.
• 1:23:42
  He's never going to talk to you again.
• 1:23:45
  No, no. We're going to talk during the
• 1:23:46
  meet. I think that's what I'm going to
• 1:23:47
  do. You're going to talk?
• 1:23:49
  There's no response. Yes, you just he's a talker.
• 1:23:56
  It is Championship officially. With championship.
• 1:24:01
  Are you looking the most forward to you know, getting into either
• 1:24:08
  from a storyline perspective or just, you know, the marks, I'm
• 1:24:17
  going to say it's a push on both dual meets the Big 12 dual meet,
• 1:24:22
  and the SEC dual meet sort of sure dick.
• 1:24:31
  All right, wow. Go out on a limb right now and
• 1:24:33
  say this Texas and Texas Tech Will score 79 percent of the
• 1:24:39
  total points scored in the meat and the Victorian.
• 1:24:44
  He's probably not wrong. I know I'm not wrong but you
• 1:24:48
  know everybody's gonna call me a dick but okay, the mass.
• 1:24:52
  When the meats over, oh my God. Don't want to it's like to 82.
• 1:24:57
  76 47, it's gonna be ridiculous. And then the SEC meet right?
• 1:25:05
  Like, I mean, I know it's not going to be a dual meet, but I
• 1:25:11
  feel like Florida and Arkansas are going to be in everything on
• 1:25:17
  both genders, I feel like floor like I thought I'd just respect
• 1:25:19
  the Tennessee because how they might win me, I don't know.
• 1:25:21
  But I'm just saying it feels like a Florida Arkansas, dual
• 1:25:26
  meet both genders with some, you know, some nice commercials in
• 1:25:31
  there and some hey, look at this, check that out.
• 1:25:33
  But really, and truly I know that Dwight Stones is going to
• 1:25:37
  did 22 is going to tell this this is a dual meet.
• 1:25:43
  What I promised you listen, I refill doing two white stones.
• 1:25:46
  Is that cool? I just know, I know Daniel
• 1:25:50
  Bryan's on the, on the phone, the cast, but I could just, I
• 1:25:53
  don't know who else is, but I do know this, y'all can check the
• 1:25:56
  math 75%, I believe the text is a Texas Tech who scored 75
• 1:26:02
  music, especially on the women's side, they will score 75.
• 1:26:06
  Percent total points scored in the meat.
• 1:26:10
  He's not wrong. Oh, I know that.
• 1:26:16
  Anyways, the most top-heavy thing I've ever seen in a
• 1:26:19
  conference ever. So listen, I actually have to go
• 1:26:25
  downstairs, so can I jump to my heartbeat props?
• 1:26:28
  Yes. Yes it's Championship weekend
• 1:26:33
  heartbeat props have to go out to my crew and honestly to the
• 1:26:38
  Mountain West. It's my second year in the
• 1:26:41
  conference and I'm very happy to see the conference moving things
• 1:26:47
  in the right direction, that benefits the whole of the
• 1:26:51
  competition. And Mately will lift the
• 1:26:53
  competition and make everything better case in point.
• 1:26:58
  Last year at the Mountain West, in the prelims of the 200.
• 1:27:01
  We had athletes running in lane two and we had open lanes and it
• 1:27:05
  was just weird. I never really seen it before.
• 1:27:09
  We're not doing that this year. Everybody in the 200-meter
• 1:27:12
  prions either in Lane 6 5 or 4 here.
• 1:27:16
  So whatever we got, we're going to see the best version of this
• 1:27:19
  week and it's exciting. Nobody in three, nobody in three
• 1:27:25
  by nobody, that's in the present in the prelims and the finals,
• 1:27:30
  you won't get the Lang you get. But in the prelims, no one's in
• 1:27:33
  three. It sauces that is interesting.
• 1:27:38
  Not even sure that's legal, but it is interesting or it's legal.
• 1:27:42
  Oh, it's Lee. I mean, that's for people who do
• 1:27:44
  illegal things, always say my God.
• 1:27:48
  But now it, I mean the finals. You're going to have, you know,
• 1:27:50
  I know I got it. I listen, I know why you do it.
• 1:27:52
  I think you should do it. I get it.
• 1:27:54
  Yeah. So it's still and you know, my
• 1:27:58
  incredibly young team is here. Yeah, 85% freshman is their
• 1:28:03
  first time in, in anything that's real and I'm excited to
• 1:28:08
  see, you know what we got, I'm here for it so hopefully we rise
• 1:28:13
  to the occasion. Our women are projected fifth
• 1:28:17
  coming into the day and our men are projected forth and we have
• 1:28:21
  no intention of finishing in those places.
• 1:28:22
  So shout-out to the Mountain West and to San Jose State
• 1:28:27
  hopefully soon to be recognized as speed City.
• 1:28:31
  We'll find out. Okay, I have to heart be props
• 1:28:39
  12. Greg Foster.
• 1:28:46
  A man that was on his way out of the sport when I started and
• 1:28:54
  immediately had an effect on me from the standpoint of this Is
• 1:29:01
  what a professional looks like. This is what someone who is
• 1:29:06
  dedicated to his craft. This is how he carries himself.
• 1:29:09
  This is how he purports himself. This is what he projects out
• 1:29:13
  there. I mean, my early years, 93, 94,
• 1:29:18
  95 on the circuit. Yeah, I mean, it was clear that
• 1:29:23
  he was a master at his craft and, you know, we didn't have
• 1:29:29
  that many conversations. But he had a tremendous impact
• 1:29:35
  on me. Secondly, true.
• 1:29:40
  Go at the dove plug, one plug to sorry from De La Soul.
• 1:29:47
  I still remember picking up three feet high and rising from
• 1:29:53
  mean being I was at a track meet in Florida.
• 1:29:57
  And I picked this album up and listening and listening to it in
• 1:30:01
  my walkman and I'm just like, what in God's name is this?
• 1:30:07
  And Dale are still is and always will be one of the my favorite
• 1:30:12
  groups in hip-hop and you know to find out that he's been
• 1:30:19
  dealing with, you know, the heart.
• 1:30:21
  He was dealing with his heart ailment for a long long time,
• 1:30:25
  heart failure. He had a congenital heart
• 1:30:28
  failure. But yeah, I mean, thank you for
• 1:30:32
  the Memories. Thank you for you know, shaping
• 1:30:35
  my life. A musical standpoint shout-out
• 1:30:39
  today. Ella and it, and it's
• 1:30:42
  interesting because they just have now gotten to a point where
• 1:30:46
  they are now in control of their their streaming, being able to
• 1:30:53
  put their music out. I mean, for decades, there was
• 1:30:56
  you could not access their music on Apple and it just changed in
• 1:31:02
  the last couple of months. So, you know, some things, you
• 1:31:06
  know, you kind of Look at some things happen for a reason.
• 1:31:10
  But yeah, it wasn't my to Heart Beat Drops.
• 1:31:14
  Well said, This is man, I didn't come on this show to be crying.
• 1:31:20
  So I need you to stop. I talked earlier about the fact
• 1:31:26
  that I was my first national meet was was in Provo Utah.
• 1:31:31
  In in the 88, 89 season. I met Greg Foster and Gail
• 1:31:37
  Devers, and Bobby Kersey. Having snuck on the track and
• 1:31:42
  legally to to work out. My own freshman Jitters.
• 1:31:47
  They were on the track. So it was literally me and them,
• 1:31:50
  34, practice and Greg Foster's. The first person that wasn't my
• 1:31:58
  coach to ever tell me that I was going to be really good.
• 1:32:02
  Wow, I'm not sure how he assessed that.
• 1:32:06
  Hmm, But he did. Yeah, my heartbeat props.
• 1:32:16
  Actually they go out too. All of.
• 1:32:30
  All of the African American. Athletes.
• 1:32:36
  Who continue because it's Black History Month.
• 1:32:40
  I wanted to speak to their continuing fight.
• 1:32:48
  For their Blackness to not be relevant.
• 1:32:55
  I'm super duper impressed with. Young athletes, who are pushing
• 1:33:05
  the fight, further allowing further down the track than then
• 1:33:10
  we did Governor. And then we did a, you know,
• 1:33:13
  then the generation before us to have it not matter that your
• 1:33:20
  black decathlete or a black athlete.
• 1:33:27
  Like I say it's it warms the cockles of my heart that people
• 1:33:31
  just refer to Kyle Garland as a great decathlete.
• 1:33:36
  Right. The people refer to Ashton Eaton
• 1:33:39
  as a great decathlete. cuz, And my era.
• 1:33:47
  I was the next in a long long line of Great.
• 1:33:54
  Black decathletes who also are. I don't know.
• 1:33:59
  Olympic gold medalists, like Dan O'Brien, and Daley Thompson, and
• 1:34:03
  Rafer Johnson, and, and Milt. What's wrong with me?
• 1:34:13
  Keep milk Campbell, right? But our Blackness was what
• 1:34:18
  unfortunately seem to matter more than our greatness as
• 1:34:22
  athletes. And my heartbeat problem.
• 1:34:27
  Absolutely goes out to those who continue to Endeavor, just to be
• 1:34:31
  seen as a great, or, or athlete. And not a black one. you know,
• 1:34:42
  it's Is it tough landscape to be an athlete of color?
• 1:34:53
  It's a tough landscape to be in athletics and be a person of
• 1:34:56
  color. You know, we're in a world where
• 1:35:02
  the world wants us to accept the fact that it's okay that Eric be
• 1:35:06
  enemy has now been on super bowl-winning staff twice been in
• 1:35:12
  the Super Bowl three times and won five straight eight.
• 1:35:16
  AFC championships or been denied five straight AFC championships,
• 1:35:20
  but it's okay that he's been passed over my four job after
• 1:35:23
  job, because he needs to take a lateral move and show that he
• 1:35:28
  has ability to play call. So, most ridiculous nonsense
• 1:35:34
  ever told in the NFL. But he had to swallow that and
• 1:35:40
  leave a job. He was like listen, Eric Bana me
• 1:35:43
  wanted to leave the Chiefs for another coordinator job about as
• 1:35:47
  much as I want to, like be in charge of the clan but he wants
• 1:35:51
  to be a head coach and he was never, it was never going to
• 1:35:53
  happen. As long as he's the offensive
• 1:35:57
  coordinator, and Andy Reid is calling plays.
• 1:36:02
  And so, like, that's, you know, we always have to deal with that
• 1:36:05
  stuff, right? And we get one shot, you know,
• 1:36:08
  you're they give, they give the brown person, the head coaching
• 1:36:11
  job, if it doesn't go great, like, you might never ever see
• 1:36:15
  another one. And you get to be an assistant
• 1:36:19
  or you get to be a coordinator, those kind of things.
• 1:36:21
  But so my, you know, look, I'm I'm here for those who were
• 1:36:28
  championing that cause on a daily basis, still, because I
• 1:36:31
  can no longer, I'm just just a coach, right?
• 1:36:35
  I'm just an agent and I, you know, I fight those fights in a
• 1:36:38
  whole different way in a whole different sport, but to All the
• 1:36:42
  Young, The Young Brown, Athletes out there who just want to be
• 1:36:47

  non power 5 perspective, I'd like to give hardly props to

• 1:38:24
  it is transportation and ground transportation in particular.
• 1:38:29
  Yes, I smell some 12 passenger, buses, Vans, coming our way I
• 1:38:36
  do. It's actual absolutely.
• 1:38:40
  There are already written down in my notes, so, Yeah, but the
• 1:38:44
  problem is, it's like those things are 200 bucks a day.
• 1:38:49
  Now whether you're through your Fleet Services, exactly.
• 1:38:56
  I mean not giving away Secrets, but I will say this, the one

  thing that was the greatest about working at the University
• 1:39:03
  of Oklahoma's, it had an entire fleet of cars, right?
• 1:39:08
  So if you want to recruit a chip, you just had to go down
• 1:39:10
  there and get a car. Yeah, that was awesome.
