  part of the song. Dang It.
• 0:46
  Hi, everyone. I almost cut it off at that one,
• 0:53
  because it really got messed up. So, I've got the least amount of
• 1:00
  it, so, there you go. Well, welcome, welcome.
• 1:03
  Welcome to another fun episode of Athletics.
• 1:05
  Hello Sophie. All, but one of us is back into
• 1:09
  our comfy combines, but I don't think he's, he's too upset about
• 1:14
  the company combines that he's in right now with Niagara Falls
• 1:16
  so much rain, especially with this Texas weather right now,
• 1:20
  you're not missing at all. So with that said, Governor, how
• 1:26
  are you doing? Doing great been here since the
• 1:31
  13th? We're heading back on the 30th.
• 1:36
  It's like, we bleep Engine turns over.
• 1:39
  But getting the Sikh family haven't seen in six years has
• 1:43
  been absolutely tremendous touring around Toronto heading
• 1:49
  up to Niagara all of that and just having my kids, see their
• 1:54
  cousins and amen. It's been fabulous.
• 2:00
  Next week. I probably might be a little
• 2:02
  depressed now as far as the evening.
• 2:07
  With mm, you know, rushing home to get home by the time, you
• 2:11
  know, the 5:00 Western time. Schedule start.
• 2:15
  So I can be home by 8:00 to catch the, I mean every single
• 2:22
  year sucks you in and then it just spits you out.
• 2:26
  And now you're just, I'm having Rawls.
• 2:29
  Like I'm like, what am I doing now?
• 2:31
  What am I doing? My evenings now, But yeah, other
• 2:34
  than that, I'm good until you have to start planning are not
• 2:40
  planning but getting back to workouts and stuff you're like,
• 2:42
  oh why? Yeah, here we are sir lucious
• 2:47
  and mostly, I mean, the most deserving of us all to be in
• 2:50
  that comfy chair and snuggled up.
• 2:53
  How are you tonight, sir? I'm well, I'm very well tired
• 2:58
  but I'm good, I'm good. Great.
• 3:02
  Not great. That you're tired.
• 3:03
  Great that you're good. So thank you Clyde.
• 3:07
  How you doing? I'm good.
• 3:10
  You know, I've never been to a world championship as a
• 3:13
  spectator, me and the family hung out the whole time.
• 3:18
  I was there from day one, all the way through day 10,
• 3:21
  fantastic experience. Loved every minute of it, would
• 3:26
  definitely do it again, but I prefer to be there coaching, so
• 3:30
  we'll change that in the future. Nice lumbar from afar.
• 3:35
  You are muted, sir. But how are you doing this
• 3:37
  evening? I'm doing spectacular lie, I'm
• 3:43
  tired, but I refuse to admit that I'm tired because so
• 3:46
  lucious coach for 9 of 10 days, so I don't get to be tired.
• 3:52
  My own, I only coach for two but we did walk almost 13 miles.
• 3:58
  Facts. We did we did walk almost 13
• 4:00
  miles. While coaching the deck?
• 4:02
  Come over those. Two days.
• 4:03
  That's a fact and we racked up. It was 31 hours.
• 4:08
  So that was pretty crazy to get get that wall, whatever the
• 4:11
  Apple watch told us, so, whatever that means.
• 4:13
  But anyways, shout-out to the popcorn and pretzels is saved my
• 4:18
  life. Anyhow, anyhow.
• 4:26
  We were discussing this earlier amongst the chat but as we recap
• 4:30
  to as we not really, I'm going to go ahead and say that as I
• 4:33
  calculated and I used a Our Olympic spreadsheet and I copied
• 4:41
  it. And we know the Olympics was
• 4:43
  correct. That's why I chose that one.
• 4:45
  And with that said, Drum roll, please.
• 4:53
  And not at all, but I'm scrolling over so I can get the
• 4:56
  exact points. All right, at the bottom.
• 5:01
  So with a whopping 32 points, Lamar from afar, you can stay
• 5:09
  afar. Hey, but I did win.
• 5:14
  One of the genders. Get that straight, you did win,
• 5:17
  one of the genders will literally I know nothing.
• 5:19
  I know. Nothing about women's track
• 5:21
  evident at all, not at all. Only eight points worth rounding
• 5:30
  that out because he's busy coaching and winning medals and
• 5:34
  doing things of that nature. Sir lucious had 34 points close,
• 5:40
  Only after that, we've got the governor with 36 points.
• 5:45
  Second from the best. We've got Clyde with 37 points.
• 5:51
  Need you to refer to me, I'm gonna need you to refer to me as
• 5:54
  the Silver Medal. Winner first out is and then I'm
• 6:03
  sorry. Sir, you failed?
• 6:05
  Absolutely. As I've been told I won the
• 6:10
  silver medal absolutely failed to win the competition which was
• 6:14
  the goal But I demand a Florida style recount, no one, including
• 6:20
  the audience believes that big lead to one the predicts that by
• 6:24
  100 by this guy. That is literally the definition
• 6:29
  of a blind squirrel Theory. No, not really because if you
• 6:34
  look, I asked guideline everything, believe me.
• 6:36
  I doubted it. So, I looked over, and it was,
• 6:40
  it was literally, I mean, from 32 to 44, That's 12 points.
• 6:46
  And it was literally the back end stuff, I guess the men's job
• 6:51
  correctly and I'm not going to say, guess what?
• 6:53
  Those rephrase that I got? Yes.
• 6:55
  And and then we had a few of us had.
• 7:04
  Excuse me, we're taking the silver and then that legit how
• 7:11
  to use, I don't know how to say that, but in third, well, I was
• 7:15
  The one who put him in third, but we all had the same names in
• 7:17
  different orders besides you Governor.
• 7:20
  So that's that's mainly what the competition was was for the most
• 7:24
  part, everybody had the right name.
• 7:27
  Justin not the right order and why do we do this the right way
• 7:31
  and stop with the conjecture and nonsense.
• 7:34
  Congratulations. Big to great job.
• 7:37
  Thank you. No, I've not been lost a couple
• 7:55
  times. It's not a lot of times.
• 7:58
  But so, I mean and / the competition.
• 8:04
  We either got the first place right and nothing else first and
• 8:09
  third switch, none of them, right?
• 8:12
  You know, there is there's quite a few that there are fat goose
• 8:15
  eggs, all the way across. I mean, the 400 meter hurdles,
• 8:18
  men side would have been a goose egg had, the governor.
• 8:22
  I not chose Trevor Bassett to take the brought Clearly we need
• 8:27
  something about that. I mean we all goose egg men
• 8:29
  shot, third place, men's long dress.
• 8:34
  Yeah. I mean Men's long jump, we all
• 8:37
  goose egg the gold silver. We predicted halfway through.
• 8:41
  And then goose egg to the bronze, a saddle goose, egg
• 8:45
  meant to be running through it. We still want the recount from
• 8:51
  Florida, but you either way. Congratulations, you are.
• 8:55
  So let me say this one more time, you got the crown for now,
• 9:00
  we're not conceding the election.
• 9:05
  Well so that is the all things LLC predictions for World
• 9:16
  Champs, but congratulations. Now, let's get to the real
• 9:22
  stuff, right? So her something that was on the
• 9:26
  internet. We're going to go along the
• 9:28
  lines of it and we are going to, I am going to go ask the child.
• 9:35
  What do you think the best performance was of the
• 9:38
  championship? I don't know how I think that's
• 9:45
  not a very long answer 5068 and it's done.
• 9:50
  I mean, that's for me anyway. I mean, okay, you know, and I
• 9:54
  think that for me, there's a the 12 12 is pretty impressive as
• 9:58
  well. I'm giving wrong but fifty,
• 10:02
  sixty eight and six. Fifty, sixty eight and I'm done.
• 10:16
  I mean, come on. As I'm done, she dismantled a
• 10:20
  world-class field. Just took?
• 10:22
  Well, yeah, it was so wild about it, right?
• 10:25
  Is it? I feel like so I'm old enough to
• 10:28
  have seen this happen. One time before Michael Johnson
• 10:31
  ran 40 38 in the in the semi in Seville, and he stopped running
• 10:37
  110 meters or so from the finish line.
• 10:39
  So when the day of the final, every single Human being that
• 10:43
  walked through the gate full-on expected or world record.
• 10:47
  So when he didn't run 40 29, There was this muted response to
• 10:52
  a world record like oh, that's good.
• 10:56
  Oh, it's one record like the same thing happened with shit
• 10:59
  like every single human being full on news.
• 11:02
  You going to break the world record, it was just to see how
• 11:04
  fast it was. And at one point in time, I
• 11:06
  think everyone of us going into the 10th Turtle.
• 11:10
  I think I couldn't be the only person.
• 11:11
  That is number 49 seconds. It's like, listen up based on
• 11:16
  where she was and look at the clock.
• 11:18
  I'm like, that's possible. Don't think it's good but it's
• 11:20
  possible. I don't remember the order of
• 11:24
  seats because we were all basically sitting together for
• 11:27
  that race but I know for certain I was closest to Sir lucious and
• 11:32
  at hurdle 5il 50/50 because it was that ridiculous and but
• 11:43
  listen. It's I don't want to get lost
• 11:49
  and not mention, totally. I'm a sign because she's not an
• 11:53
  American. And ultimately what she did is
• 11:56
  going to go less recognized by people in this country and shows
• 12:01
  like this podcast and stuff, like I didn't think anything
• 12:05
  will get close to 50 50, 50, 60, 80, Toby got damn close.
• 12:10
  Okay, she goddamn close but it's said and And the fact that she's
• 12:17
  done what she is done at 22 years old, and her, and her
• 12:22
  coach basically have said. Yeah, we're going to go play
• 12:25
  another game now, we're bored. Like, that's all you need to
• 12:29
  understand about how epically in saying that that race was how
• 12:35
  Flawless it was. And they said they thought there
• 12:38
  was going to be a little faster, so if you ask Bobby K, he's not
• 12:41
  going to say it was Flawless, but from where we were sitting
• 12:44
  Flawless, one person, having replayed, both, in my mind, the
• 12:53
  thing that sticks out to me and I mentioned it briefly folks are
• 13:00
  going back to the drawing board. For those two events.
• 13:06
  There are splits that Toby ran that.
• 13:12
  We're talking point nine one. Yeah.
• 13:15
  Splits like these are things that have been.
• 13:20
  Oh yeah. I mean is it possible?
• 13:22
  Yeah. But have we seen anyone do it.
• 13:26
  Have we seen anyone? Slo-mo just watching just how
• 13:33
  she's moving in between the hurdles.
• 13:35
  You know, break in the hips. It almost looks like a pogo,
• 13:39
  stick. Folks are looking at.
• 13:40
  What is she doing coming off the hurdle?
• 13:43
  Like I feel like it's all just, you know, it's one thing to
• 13:50
  watch, someone go around the track, right?
• 13:53
  It's another thing. When it's just that straight and
• 13:56
  you don't have time, you don't have time to think you don't
• 14:00
  have time to adjust. It is.
• 14:03
  I mean, it is like that, I mean so, I feel like there's I think
• 14:11
  if there's a revolution we're more likely to see it in the 100
• 14:16
  hurdles, then we will the 400 Hertz because you're going to,
• 14:24
  you're going to go tell the next class for hurdlers that 50-point
• 14:30
  like, seriously, like we're trying that likes to get.
• 14:36
  For us women at Fifty Point. Right.
• 14:40
  Actually I think about it like this.
• 14:42
  Think about how long it took to get to 40 678.
• 14:46
  Yeah. And that's what this is going to
• 14:49
  be. This is unless she does it know.
• 14:53
  It's kind of like, you know, Jackie's.
• 14:55
  No pep record, right? Yeah.
• 14:57
  You just put things out there that people going to chase for a
• 15:00
  very, very long time, very, very long time.
• 15:02
  Like yeah, I mean it's hot. I mean, 100% percent.
• 15:09
  I do I do want to say this one thing though about about Toby
• 15:12
  office. Obviously, since performance is
• 15:16
  the performance of the meat, but I'm going to say this every one
• 15:19
  of us has experienced this in coach this, when somebody runs
• 15:23
  away faster than they ever have, like, your body does weird
• 15:26
  things. so then I don't know what's going on Toby's Bobby
• 15:30
  body because she ran three times at Worlds, 12:40 12:12 and 1206
• 15:37
  12:40 legal, 1212 legal 1206 2.5 win, like, folks, that's that's
• 15:45
  not different. That's a whole nother Planet
• 15:47
  different because the last two runs were on the same day.
• 15:51
  Yeah, right. And then I mean, look, There are
• 15:59
  almost no world records that aren't filled events where the
• 16:04
  world where someone who has bettered, the world record twice
• 16:08
  in one day. Right, it's happened was not
• 16:13
  very not very many times ever now I know that the second one
• 16:16
  is windy, but let's be clear if it's not windy is still faster
• 16:20
  than 1220 great. So so we got two runs better
• 16:26
  than the WR, and that is just different.
• 16:31
  You know, like it takes a 50 60 68 out of the Sid.
• 16:35
  Otherwise there's no way that we don't talk about anything but
• 16:38
  Toby I'm assuming. So she definitely gets at least
• 16:41
  a one be out of me because to do it.
• 16:43
  Three times is different. Absolutely.
• 16:48
  I mean there's Nuance to to what's it did, right?
• 16:53
  Like she got seventh place in the open 400 with the herbs.
• 17:01
  So it has to be sick but right, you're absolutely right.
• 17:05
  Like Tony, cannot go ignore and, you know, 20 years from now.
• 17:10
  You will remember both of those performances because they were
• 17:15
  just that good. Absolutely.
• 17:17
  It's and this is the thing. You have to think about with
• 17:19
  told you can 5068, is another planet, right?
• 17:22
  Right. But Toby was .07 away from
• 17:27
  running. 1199 over there are lights.
• 17:30
  Right Frank, when she crossed the Finish Line.
• 17:34
  Because because last number what, the numbers were 11, and
• 17:37
  then it goes 12. But because, if that thing stops
• 17:40
  in 1199, I think we all just passed out, like 68.
• 17:47
  But I mean, I think that because of where it came from because
• 17:50
  the 1206 was windy that took some shot off in for some
• 17:53
  people, not for me but like I watched her run 12:40 in the
• 17:58
  first round. She's got like a little rat.
• 18:00
  Zoom, super easy. And then back to the to the sick
• 18:05
  thing. She got her till 5:00.
• 18:07
  Clyde, absolutely said 50/50. And as he said, 50/50, I stood
• 18:11
  up and start yelling, just stay on your feet on your feet.
• 18:15
  You know, the whole, the whole last, the last World I just
• 18:18
  can't stay on your feet because we do have some and I want to
• 18:24
  give a shout-out to my for doing what Mondo has learned to do
• 18:29
  best. Play the heck out of the crowd
• 18:31
  of the situation, right? And your percent because oh my
• 18:34
  God, because you watch his first attempt at. 6:21, never had any
• 18:40
  intention to try to make clear that part.
• 18:42
  No none. So, but what about, how about
• 18:46
  the when you talk about orchestrated, the 4x4 is over.
• 18:53
  Right. The floor is yours.
• 18:56
  That's what we're talking about. Yeah.
• 18:58
  Wait sir. No, no.
• 18:59
  That was done on purpose because of the weight.
• 19:03
  No no it was like that wasn't his run.
• 19:22
  It was like he was doing I'm up to keep it.
• 19:23
  Do some kind of a blowout took to get him ready for the 2010.
• 19:27
  Yeah and now he knows we're now going to go run the 4 y 4 and
• 19:30
  the floors is it was amazing as soon as he planted the pole
• 19:35
  everybody was like oh yeah whom did washing clothes right?
• 19:40
  Everybody to do themselves a favor.
• 19:43
  You're going to have to dig because I'm sure somebody has
• 19:46
  video of it. Find his jump at 594 and then
• 19:50
  you will understand why? No one.
• 19:53
  One was surprised because he made 594 my 40 centimeters.
• 19:58
  Hmm. And let's be clear.
• 20:00
  Mondo, easily. Mondo is extremely smart.
• 20:03
  He's the, you know, master manipulator of the game right
• 20:06
  now and it's great for the sport, right?
• 20:08
  But the reason we're not giving Mondo, you know, the throne here
• 20:15
  is because we all know if he wanted to jump like 6:30, he
• 20:18
  probably could, but we're in, we're in Boca.
• 20:22
  Yeah. Yeah, it's alright.
• 20:25
  That's all for this, for the sake of the crowd and he owned
• 20:28
  it. And he absolutely waited until
• 20:31
  the floor. Was it?
• 20:32
  I mean those of us those of us that that understood what the
• 20:36
  payment structure and how it was paid out for each world record
• 20:41
  for Booker right. When once we got wind of that
• 20:45
  when we understood this man only had to break it by centimeter.
• 20:50
  By the time I mean, come on man, it was, that's where Mom do is
• 20:55
  now. That's right, you know, keep
• 20:57
  getting paid for it too. I mean huge, here's the funny
• 21:00
  part right? Like Mondo, just broke the World
• 21:02
  Outdoor record and it's not even a PB, I've heard some 622
• 21:06
  indoors. Yes, right.
• 21:08
  It's like so what are we doing? Like, get admit, paid demand his
• 21:12
  money, he's making sure that each time.
• 21:15
  That's right. Yep.
• 21:16
  So he's got it, right? The one thing I was going to say
• 21:19
  is Because I've had a conversation and I've seen the
• 21:22
  conversation when the internet. I think it's funny.
• 21:24
  How people are trying to dispel debunk allegations.
• 21:29
  Whatever. Word you want to use about the
• 21:32
  specifically Toby, but there was a whisper of it with Sydney
• 21:36
  about how like she's drugging or this or the time, the time
• 21:40
  wasn't right or all these things, they're doing exactly
• 21:42
  what we asked them to do. And this is what happens is, you
• 21:45
  get these amazing times, right? And that's what we tell the
• 21:47
  athletes that we work with. When you do great things great
• 21:51
  things happen. No, I'm sweating.
• 21:54
  So glad that you did not let us forget that too.
• 21:56
  Okay, so you know, I'll go ahead and get into it because I don't
• 22:01
  really care. I'm not here for any of the
• 22:04
  Michael Johnson slander or accusations of the clock is
• 22:08
  somehow wrong in the women's hurdles.
• 22:11
  Look man, I don't know what your problem is, that was a clownish
• 22:14
  thing to say, you sound ridiculous and I don't
• 22:18
  understand how Like at they should have cut his mind like
• 22:22
  that is absolutely a clownish thing to say or even if he
• 22:25
  doesn't open any of that. Even the doping allegation, like
• 22:29
  maybe it's not an obligation anytime.
• 22:32
  Somebody runs fast people going to accuse him of them, there's
• 22:35
  people out there accusing said of dope, right?
• 22:38
  We're used to that. Wow, for a man of Michael
• 22:41
  Johnson, stature to have the platform of being one of the
• 22:45
  main announcers for BBC. When trust me BBC audience
• 22:50
  watching the meat, probably bigger than America's, right?
• 22:53
  Is sitting there slandering the timing system as if she can't do
• 22:57
  that. And then she comes back and does
• 22:59
  it again in the finals. Like, stop it, man.
• 23:01
  Like that. That's ridiculous.
• 23:03
  I, I made a comment on Twitter and really what it boils down to
• 23:10
  is that that semifinal has to be the greatest.
• 23:17
  In the history of track and field.
• 23:21
  When you talk about the sheer volume of athletes, we're
• 23:26
  talking National records season this personal bests were like
• 23:31
  world record, right? And I have never in my life,
• 23:37
  seen a situation where everybody was on point, right?
• 23:44
  And and you know they talk about Out, you know, like even in a
• 23:49
  team environment you know how it's shaped like a pyramid and
• 23:54
  that kid that's at the top is being pushed by all those people
• 23:59
  underneath, right? All those people that are less
• 24:02
  talented, all those people that, you know, that are out there
• 24:05
  just slugging it out, right? In, if you look at it in
• 24:09
  retrospect, Toby doesn't run that world record if she doesn't
• 24:14
  have the elk and the caliber of kids that were in that race with
• 24:19
  her, that she knew, right? It, because that that look, man,
• 24:25
  I mean, the fact that only a Chosen Few fell I mean think
• 24:32
  about like I I still go through that in my head and it's just
• 24:36
  like mind-boggling. So I made a I made a I made a
• 24:39
  statement that You know, the the right, all these PBS, all these
• 24:46
  personal, bests, all of this stuff, I'd never seen it before.
• 24:50
  I've never seen all of it happen.
• 24:52
  All at one time. Well and it's great.
• 24:57
  I think it's great for the sport.
• 24:59
  I'm going to hold what I want to say for later in these questions
• 25:02
  but I'm gonna come back to that. All right, well if we're good
• 25:07
  with it, let's go back. Let's go next to the biggest
• 25:09
  upset. All right, I have one.
• 25:15
  I mean tell me what you got. Go ahead.
• 25:18
  Mine's men's long stroke. Men's long jump while grooming
• 25:23
  okay? Okay look.
• 25:24
  Can you give make that case? I like that picture?
• 25:27
  Tell me why? Because he wasn't even in from
• 25:31
  conversation that you saw an online conversation in the
• 25:34
  stadium. He wasn't top four.
• 25:38
  It wasn't really like in consideration when he pops one
• 25:41
  off, I don't remember. I don't remember what number
• 25:46
  that was, was it number four, number five, in his attempt 5,
• 25:50
  and it didn't look like, he couldn't jump in and just got
• 25:54
  lucky again. He put it all together at the
• 25:57
  right time and he had something great happen.
• 26:00
  That was definitely a big upset and one that I liked watching
• 26:04
  like that. Yeah.
• 26:06
  But for I'm, you know, for an event that didn't have a lot of
• 26:09
  highlights like that was that was a great moment there.
• 26:12
  But for me, I mean come on, the biggest upset is the Women's USA
• 26:16
  for by one beating Jamaica. There was no bigger
• 26:20
  overwhelming. Favorite in the meat than the
• 26:22
  Jamaican women in the 4 by 1 and for the u.s. other than the u.s.
• 26:27
  minute before I want. Not not, not bigger than
• 26:32
  Jamaican women. No, no, because list other than
• 26:36
  Noah Lyles, nobody thought, the u.s. men had a shot at the world
• 26:39
  record. Everybody was talking trash.
• 26:44
  Okay. So let's forget the, the idiocy
• 26:47
  of the world record. Let's please not go.
• 26:48
  Delve into that nonsense. I'm not delving into.
• 26:51
  We're gonna talk about. What did you making?
• 26:56
  Women were huge favorites. As were the u.s. men.
• 27:00
  Well, that could be our big. We me and a whole lot of people
• 27:19
  when we get things wrong in the relay, especially in the 4 by 1,
• 27:23
  we got a lot to say and rightfully so in my opinion,
• 27:27
  when we get it, right? And it's executed I think we
• 27:32
  have to stand up and give props to those young women and to
• 27:36
  Michelle Lewis, who put the thing together.
• 27:38
  If you watch the final, the spacing was right.
• 27:41
  Proper decisions. Were made substituting a be
• 27:44
  Steiner for number two, and they ran their asses off.
• 27:47
  Like I If you look at the, if you look at all the analytics
• 27:51
  I'm not sure how that particular group of women could have run
• 27:53
  much better, so for them to do that in that moment on that
• 27:57
  stage and upset the Humming favorites, who at who, at least
• 28:02
  60% of the world thought was going to trash the world record.
• 28:05
  That's for me is the biggest upset.
• 28:08
  I are we doing this again, the question is big as upset and I'm
• 28:12
  making my case. You make it then talk about the
• 28:15
  ups and quit talking about the world because there's no there's
• 28:19
  no world really where 60% of the population not to work with.
• 28:30
  Our conversations and chat group is not 60 percent of the
• 28:33
  population, sir, the population of track Community.
• 28:37
  Yes sir. All right next.
• 28:40
  Anyway next. So for me and this the this I
• 28:47
  would have to say in the men's 1500 and that Jake Whiteman.
• 28:54
  Hmm, I have no idea who Jake Whiteman is now I don't prefer
• 29:00
  Jess to be respectfully. I don't profess to know the ins
• 29:11
  and outs of the men's 1500, but I do know who Jacob ingebrigtsen
• 29:15
  is and I do respect that man's hustle.
• 29:19
  And I know for a fact, That more than 80 or 90 percent of the
• 29:25
  world that watches the 1500 and is that are enthusiasts about
• 29:31
  the 1500 thought that Jacob made in Britain, was going to win
• 29:35
  that race. And when it was, you know, we're
• 29:39
  talking 150 to go, and I'm like, what am I watching here?
• 29:45
  Like who, who is this? And then the story starts
• 29:50
  unfolding, you know that his dad is announcing watching his son,
• 29:57
  win the World Championship Whole Meadow like yeah I mean you
• 30:02
  don't you don't those are things you can't pay for like that's
• 30:07
  that's the magic that track and field brings.
• 30:11
  I mean, I'm trying to imagine if there'd been a betting line,
• 30:15
  what would have happened? You know to Those few that said
• 30:18
  yeah I'm gonna go with a brick. I'm going to go with the bread
• 30:21
  on this one. Okay already made 1 million
• 30:25
  dollars. What would have happened?
• 30:28
  Exactly, so yeah, men's 1500 for me.
• 30:33
  I'll jump in there. I'm going to give a play answer
• 30:36
  in a real answer. My play answer is that um our
• 30:40
  Rojas did not break the world record.
• 30:45
  I think I do No, no, I'm kidding but but it's like, honestly, I
• 30:50
  think all of us were surprised but we're doing surprise later
• 30:53
  sir. I know.
• 30:55
  So my upset is in the women's discus. because the Chinese came
• 31:01
  to play and they were, they were all about some upsets this week
• 31:05
  and, you know, I've done this once one time to a field and
• 31:12
  it's pretty awesome. When you can just take control
• 31:16
  of the competition with a sixth round, jump in your first round.
• 31:22
  So and that obviously in their case, a six-round throw when
• 31:25
  you're first round. And then you just watch the
• 31:27
  entire field, just get tighter and like, every round, just
• 31:30
  getting Tighter and Tighter and Tighter, trying to throw that
• 31:35
  far. Yeah, it was amazing first row,
• 31:39
  the competition and we're done, thank you.
• 31:40
  I'll take that and Valerie thought she had it, done twice.
• 31:46
  Yeah, yeah, she thought she had it done twice agents screaming,
• 31:50
  and yeah. Yeah.
• 31:52
  Yeah, that's why. I mean for me it was the u.s.
• 31:58
  women's 4 by 10 K and kudos to Michelle for having to put up
• 32:05
  with all the nonsense of people, try to tell her who to run a
• 32:07
  water ride and all that stuff. I do agree that the Jamaicans
• 32:14
  weren't overwhelming favorite and I think that the Jamaicans
• 32:20
  forgot to they need a lot. A up and pass the Baton.
• 32:23
  They forgot that they needed to consider the War.
• 32:25
  I think they thought they could just throw them out there and
• 32:27
  say whatever they wanted to throw and they were going to
• 32:29
  win. No.
• 32:30
  And bottom line is, I don't think there's anybody on this
• 32:34
  planet. The saw that group of ladies,
• 32:36
  141 one. Nobody not one of us number and
• 32:42
  so see that's the thing. Like, when that behind popped
• 32:46
  up, when the time popped up? The time was more impressive
• 32:51
  than the episode for me. You know, everybody wants to
• 32:53
  talk about the fact that we be Jamaican and it's great
• 32:56
  accomplishment but 4114 for that group of young ladies is feed
• 33:01
  nominal. Yes, in a way they did it.
• 33:04
  They, you know, this is the beauty of having people that
• 33:08
  have run relays. No, not that.
• 33:12
  Not a lot of people including myself.
• 33:13
  Totally agree with prandini being on there, but after
• 33:16
  watching the semi-final, you knew why she was learning Right.
• 33:19
  100% because of her steadying titi's hand, and she get rid of
• 33:25
  the time, you know? Yeah, that was, that was the
• 33:27
  Evelyn Ashford to Esther Jones moment from back up and then,
• 33:31
  right? And so watching them, run,
• 33:35
  clearly, Miss Jefferson was pissed that she didn't run well
• 33:38
  in the hundred and she's like, I'm going to show you who I am.
• 33:41
  No. Yeah.
• 33:42
  Abby was a b and let's get this. Give TT credit, but she could
• 33:47
  have easily left are only, she could have panic.
• 33:49
  Going to fold it but she's like know how many woman in her
• 33:53
  position would have gotten tight because everybody on in that
• 33:59
  stadium watching worldwide you knew that she had to do was come
• 34:04
  you know isn't this absolutely like that's what makes a good
• 34:10
  anchor leg. You know they're coming but you
• 34:12
  can't worry about that. That's right.
• 34:15
  You got to keep pumping man. You got to run to the line and
• 34:19
  If they catch you, they catch you that, that's right.
• 34:21
  And and to that point, like I had a bunch of arguments off
• 34:26
  cameras, and privately, in text messages and held in the stadium
• 34:30
  at times with like house TT on the anchor.
• 34:34
  Like, guys, this is what TT is good at like this is what she
• 34:38
  does, okay, she's been doing in my thing, you know, like I said
• 34:43
  it can't be lost. Michelle Lewis put three rookies
• 34:45
  out there. Yeah really?
• 34:48
  Yeah. 3. Melissa Jefferson was in the
• 34:51
  NCAA this year, okay? Abby was in the NCAA this year
• 34:55
  and it's titi's. First, seasoned Pro.
• 34:57
  Yeah, people three rookies out there, that takes a lot of guts,
• 35:00
  but it was the, it was The Savvy veteran, who doesn't have the
• 35:05
  fastest 100-meter time who didn't make the 200 meter final?
• 35:09
  That ultimately was the key and in the right spot for the Relay.
• 35:13
  So like I said, man, just Bravo across the board to them.
• 35:16
  Like they, they ran their ass off and I agree with lucious. 41
• 35:20
  1. Yeah.
• 35:22
  Like if you're an analytics person and you care about the
• 35:26
  four by one and you study it understand that two, three and
• 35:31
  four collectively. Yeah, ran equal to the world
• 35:35
  record time from 2012. Yeah, that's how good they did.
• 35:40
  That's how good they did. Yeah, I'm a nominal job.
• 35:47
  All right, I did everybody go. Okay, I don't know why.
• 35:52
  I thought whatever way you want. Now onto one that we've already
• 35:56
  alluded to biggest surprise of the meat EP since you'll eat
• 36:04
  your answer already, may as well go ahead, sure, I mean listen I
• 36:11
  thought I've watched you a ma Rojas compete a lot and with her
• 36:19
  not being Loud too long jump. I thought she was going to show
• 36:24
  up and jump 1650 or something crazy and just like show the
• 36:28
  whole world like this is dumb and she didn't jump poorly.
• 36:32
  Let's be clear. I mean she was dominant as
• 36:34
  always, but she didn't bring a record and I was actually sort
• 36:39
  of surprised because we all know like every time she jumps that's
• 36:44
  a possibility so I don't know. I was just I mean there's
• 36:48
  probably bigger surprises but that one was for me a big one.
• 36:51
  Cuz I was actually somewhat surprised, because the way she
• 36:54
  competes usually is like, somebody's pissed her off.
• 36:58
  I think she's like, Alan Johnson.
• 36:59
  I think she makes things up because because she's been
• 37:03
  dominant for a long time, but she still comes out for the
• 37:07
  mean, you can tell she liked, she competes like somebody,
• 37:10
  somebody talked about her mama, you know what I mean?
• 37:12
  Like she is fired up. A lot of intensity, I didn't
• 37:16
  sense. There's a lot of stuff for me.
• 37:23
  Staying in that same event. We saw the first u.s. woman when
• 37:29
  the meadow in Georgia in the history of the event on this
• 37:39
  panel, saw Tori. Franklin, let's put it like
• 37:42
  this. I thought that the other female
• 37:47
  from the US would have been the one, but Tory freed.
• 37:52
  I I have not seen her compete. I had not seen anything of her.
• 37:58
  She shows up and puts one of her best jumps out there in the last
• 38:04
  four years. That is the longest.
• 38:06
  She's jumping up in the last four years.
• 38:10
  To pull out a third place, metal kudos to Tori Franklin, went
• 38:15
  over to Greece. She's coached by coaching
• 38:18
  Greece. You know, and you know it's one
• 38:22
  of those things that I think as a jumps coach you know we have
• 38:26
  always had this thing. This nagging thing in the back
• 38:30
  of her head, why are the Europeans that much further
• 38:33
  ahead in a triple jump? And, and I would say in some
• 38:36
  cases the high jump as well. And for her to pick herself up
• 38:43
  move or base of operations over the over the grease and and get
• 38:48
  in there and train the way they train kudos to her, you know,
• 38:53
  sometimes you have to, you have to get it done.
• 38:55
  It doesn't matter how you get it done.
• 38:57
  Just get it done. And she's got to be gratified,
• 39:01
  she's got to be in. This is something that she's
• 39:04
  been chasing for a very, very long time.
• 39:07
  Biggest surprise to me toward Frank, Oh man.
• 39:17
  I still the US women in the for Hawaii.
• 39:46
  And she's not going to catch his not going to catch your name.
• 39:49
  Clyde was saying. She's gonna catch up like, no,
• 39:50
  she's not. Shriek was coming now.
• 39:53
  Let's, let's, let's be real. Let's be real.
• 39:57
  We were having conversations about, could the Americans beat
• 40:01
  the great Brits. Yes, right.
• 40:03
  Honey. That was our conversation and
• 40:06
  you percent. So I mad at that.
• 40:09
  Pick for biggest surprise at all, not at all.
• 40:15
  And and Governor Kudos, that was that was really good pick.
• 40:18
  You got me thinking there but I mean, my biggest surprise is
• 40:25
  Toby. I'm sorry, it's kind of hard to
• 40:31
  argue with that, though. I mean, listen, like Toby's
• 40:34
  really, really good and she's been really good for a while.
• 40:40
  Nobody outside outside. I don't even think Toby saw the
• 40:44
  world record coming because The video and watch your face.
• 40:47
  Yeah. Okay.
• 40:48
  So I'm going to say her coach believe and props to her but no
• 40:53
  one had Alesana, right? Yeah, no one saw Toby.
• 40:58
  I'm a saint breaking, the world record, no one saw, Toby Alice
• 41:01
  on winning the event, no one. So to me, that, that is
• 41:06
  absolutely the biggest surprise, and I mean, we did world record
• 41:12
  predictions, right? Glue the tube that the women's
• 41:17
  hurdles could get broke. Nobody was thinking about
• 41:19
  tomiyama Toby Amazon doing so no shot.
• 41:22
  That is that is for me, the biggest surprise by.
• 41:25
  Here's a, here's a lemon. Add another layer to that
• 41:29
  surprise. When it was broadcast that, that
• 41:33
  was the first gold medal that Nigeria has ever worn, right?
• 41:41
  For the folks that are watching think about the Legacy and the
• 41:47
  level of athletes that come from that country.
• 41:51
  Yes, year after year, after year after year after year and for
• 41:56
  this young lady to be the first gold medalist.
• 42:00
  I mean it's been there is there follow Toby amundsen on Twitter.
• 42:06
  There are great videos from Nigeria of kids.
• 42:11
  Raishin. Yeah, the pool typically young
• 42:13
  girls from her school in this flocking to the news that she
• 42:18
  won. Like I mean she's a God in that
• 42:20
  country now. All right Lisa and if I'll God I
• 42:24
  hope I can find it fast enough. There was a she put out a tweet.
• 42:29
  I hope I get this wrong as I'm not going to take the time to
• 42:31
  find it right now, but basically Back in the day, you know, that
• 42:36
  that's a pretty religious country.
• 42:38
  Her her father would want, father, would demand that she be
• 42:41
  at church. Yes, mother would cover for her
• 42:44
  while she was sneaking out to practice and her father, like,
• 42:47
  disowned her over it. Like imagine the weight of stuff
• 42:52
  like that, right? So I mean it's a great story.
• 42:55
  It's a great story. So I want to throw a small piece
• 42:58
  of backstory to Toby's story. Yes, please.
• 43:02
  And I listen, I'm not trying to throw shade and I really I
• 43:05
  really need people to hone into this nothing that I'm saying is
• 43:08
  - Toby I'm a saint was at Clemson and she was literally
• 43:16
  like the seventh. If not the eighth, best hurdler
• 43:20
  at the school and long story short, She and the coach agreed,
• 43:27
  she should move on to a different school because she was
• 43:30
  never going to be able to live up the scholarship levels and
• 43:35
  the people in front of her, we're better than her.
• 43:37
  One of those people was Kenny, Harrison.
• 43:40
  Hmm. One of those people was brown
• 43:44
  and Rollins. Wow, right.
• 43:48
  So I want everybody to lock in to what is going on.
• 43:52
  That is perseverance and an internal belief that is required
• 43:58
  to be great when you're not anointed from the beginning.
• 44:02
  Absolutely. So, I just wanted to stick that
• 44:05
  in there. So people understood like, this
• 44:08
  young lady. At one point, I'm couldn't
• 44:10
  couldn't win a rep to the bathroom in her training group
• 44:13
  because everybody was better than her.
• 44:16
  Yeah, she was, never not good but the assemblage of talent in
• 44:20
  front of her at the time was legitimately better.
• 44:28
  More not anymore. My two cents real quick, the
• 44:35
  Chinese winning two field events and not a Sprint.
• 44:40
  I thought that was pretty surprising.
• 44:42
  Not because I have a bias towards that team, but because
• 44:45
  in this issue, but in the disc in the long jump, right?
• 44:50
  And I'll even say this saying did catch air and wasn't able to
• 44:55
  get relatively close to it again but right time, right Pro and
• 44:59
  that's what you do, right? That's when pb's happened but
• 45:05
  for those two events to be won by an an organized Federation
• 45:10
  who Ooh, who hasn't in the history performed in power
• 45:16
  event, right? And and now, it started to
• 45:18
  change. So, for that to happen, I
• 45:20
  thought that was really surprising, and, and great to
• 45:22
  see just like we saw in the men's Joplin tornado winning
• 45:28
  India. Taking second, you know, and how
• 45:30
  these other nations are now rising to the top.
• 45:32
  And I thought that was pretty amazing to see.
• 45:35
  Surprising to see at the very least. alright, the next
• 45:41
  question is, who is the best young athlete?
• 45:47
  So I do have a question. What what is it what constitute
• 45:50
  young like quote real? That was gonna be my next
• 45:52
  question to. I mean, like, we talked about
• 45:54
  this a little bit last week. I mean, there's area and there's
• 45:58
  there's a data since 22, 23 years old.
• 46:01
  She's young, right? So I think it's just you talking
• 46:06
  about, if young is twenty-three twenty-two, twenty-three is Sid.
• 46:11
  I mean, if you're talking about the teenagers eyes area on, but
• 46:15
  there's a lot of great young, Yeah, actually, if you sum up
• 46:19
  teenagers, it's Thing mo. Right in Europe right - well I
• 46:26
  mean look listen. Okay.
• 46:28
  Clearly I'm the, you know, probably third biggest area on
• 46:33
  night and fan right on this planet.
• 46:35
  I'm not going to take credit for, you know, my parents, are
• 46:38
  you? But it's just like numerical
• 46:41
  numbers, right? Like mean there were a year
• 46:45
  apart in age and she has an Olympic gold medal, a world
• 46:47
  championship gold medal. That's one reason I said that.
• 46:49
  Okay, so we're talking about metals.
• 46:52
  Of course the performance, right?
• 46:55
  The management 1949 So sir, I t49 all your new on your new
• 47:02
  miracle. Whatever you call the tables.
• 47:05
  No. Be in the decathlete that you
• 47:06
  are. Guarantee you get more points
• 47:09
  for 1949 and you get for 155. Now, we'll leave it there.
• 47:12
  Look, I think they're both phenomenal.
• 47:15
  I don't want to pick between either.
• 47:16
  One of them, you know, all these 94 digestible points that, you
• 47:19
  know, it's tough. I mean I'll just say this.
• 47:23
  I wouldn't want to be look. Here's the definition of bad
• 47:27
  birthdays. What's the other other teenage
• 47:29
  young lady? That's interesting because she's
• 47:33
  a monster Fortunately another land of monsters.
• 47:39
  So when you talk about that, okay, she belongs in the
• 47:41
  conversation as well because she's last year she was three or
• 47:47
  four tenths back this year. She 700s back.
• 47:51
  That story is not fit, has not been totally written there yet,
• 47:54
  so that's a great battle and I'm here to watch it.
• 47:59
  I think that It's going to be a great, great battle for many.
• 48:04
  Many years to come. For me, I will defer to the
• 48:11
  youngest. I mean let's let's call it what
• 48:16
  it is. No one that kids age had ever
• 48:23
  won a medal. Okay.
• 48:26
  Like I don't care who your coach is, I don't care what you have
• 48:32
  or the Army behind you or whatever.
• 48:35
  To have the intestinal fortitude of putting down three races of
• 48:41
  that quality and to come to that final, right?
• 48:47
  He could easily have been distracted by, you know, the
• 48:51
  young man outside of them. You could have been distracted
• 48:55
  by how many other things, the kid had just gone to his prom.
• 48:59
  Okay. Like we're still talking about a
• 49:02
  teenager, right? Not a teenager that's in
• 49:05
  college. Not this kid is in high school.
• 49:10
  Okay. And he comes to the world
• 49:12
  championships and gets a bronze medal.
• 49:15
  Are you kidding me? And I want to go on the record
• 49:19
  as saying that world Athletics need to do a little reprieve of
• 49:23
  how they draw the lanes, just like, let the record show.
• 49:28
  Nobody was beating Noah? No, this is not about Noah,
• 49:33
  right? But he's not stuck down in Lane
• 49:35
  three. He doesn't get the bronze.
• 49:38
  Your no, no, disrespect Aquino disrespected, dentist, but
• 49:42
  Kenny's in five, season 3, it makes a difference.
• 49:45
  Can we pause on that because And I think all of us are pretty
• 49:49
  well-versed in the sport and we were a little confused about how
• 49:53
  this works ourselves. So there are three semi-finals.
• 50:00
  Yep for whatever ridiculous. Please bring back the 275 but
• 50:04
  anyway there are three semi-finals.
• 50:07
  So there are three heat winners. And for some dumbass reason, we
• 50:13
  take the fastest of the second place dudes and anoint them into
• 50:19
  the lane. Draw Shuffle of the people who
• 50:21
  won the heat right down. That doesn't make any sense at
• 50:27
  any level. If your second, your second, if
• 50:29
  your first your first, and because there's floor before you
• 50:34
  find it forever. So the sticks get thrown in a
• 50:36
  blender. That's what you don't know.
• 50:38
  No, no, just dinner. Your winner and the fastest
• 50:42
  loser, right? Fastest, second-place finish.
• 50:45
  Second place guy, and in this play the blind.
• 50:47
  Hey, Kenny been there kick. Who was the fastest.
• 50:51
  Second place guy ended up in five and Ariane who was a heat,
• 50:55
  a semifinal winner ended up in three right in the second
• 50:58
  fastest time. From this demos ended up it,
• 51:00
  right? So there's many layers to this.
• 51:03
  First of all, that is wrong. Why are we including the second
• 51:06
  place person in the, in the shuffle?
• 51:09
  But further than that. Oregon is a nine Lane track.
• 51:15
  Why we're running in Lane one at all is nonsensical, but that's a
• 51:19
  side issue to me. But what's the worst part about
• 51:23
  that part? Just add, I don't want to cut
• 51:24
  you off some to stay right there is that I think that's a world
• 51:27
  Athletics rule. I don't think you can break a
• 51:30
  world record in Lane nine and I think that's why they run one
• 51:33
  through eight. Now you can run lean on you
• 51:35
  because in that when Randy correctly now What does he have
• 51:40
  to check? No, I think real was inhaling
• 51:42
  track. But here's the thing that's
• 52:05
  really, really well. Why is laying three considered a
• 52:10
  preferred Lane? Even if you're running one
• 52:13
  through eight, it should be seven, six, five and four.
• 52:18
  So at every level this thing is just wrong and Arian wasn't the
• 52:23
  only person who ended up in Lane three that shouldn't have been
• 52:25
  there. There were others but like this
• 52:28
  means, um, this is an easy fix. Can we just get to something
• 52:31
  even more? Like, just quintessentially,
• 52:33
  silly silly. Why do we race and have semi
• 52:37
  final winners to then go into a hopper and get randomized?
• 52:43
  That's right, just see. Like I don't even make this
• 52:46
  isn't making sense, okay? All right.
• 52:48
  On the same track on the same day.
• 52:50
  Just seen it and for the record since we're since we're
• 52:53
  complaining. Rightfully, so about seeding and
• 52:56
  Lane draws, let me be clear about this one, because this one
• 52:59
  also pissed me off. In the turn of events 200-400
• 53:04
  they block out lanes. One and two for the worse, the
• 53:08
  lanes. And those lanes are reserved for
• 53:10
  the little cubes totally understand that.
• 53:14
  But in the hundred and in the hurdles they still block out
• 53:19
  lanes 1 and 2 for the little cues.
• 53:21
  So someone like Dina Asher Smith who was not a Time qualifier she
• 53:27
  got the big Q. She got stuck out in Lane eight.
• 53:32
  Yeah, Trayvon bromell was stuck in Lane eight.
• 53:35
  Why, why am I on the outside? When I got The Big Cube, these
• 53:39
  are simple fixes. It's just late.
• 53:43
  It's just lazy. I don't, I mean, does anybody
• 53:50
  else have a different youngest athlete?
• 53:53
  I mean, we we did get into this a little bit last week and I
• 53:56
  said it's Aryan night and it's not close.
• 53:58
  I do appreciate Lamar's argument and it's a good argument because
• 54:07
  him and the thing are so close in age.
• 54:10
  Clearly a thing is more accomplished.
• 54:12
  Absolutely. But I actually think that's
• 54:16
  just, that's the simple. Just It's just she's more
• 54:18
  accomplished. I still don't think, I don't
• 54:19
  think she's better than us and I think his path is harder as well
• 54:24
  right now. So, for me, it's still airing.
• 54:29
  Got it. I mean, that did a challenger
• 54:33
  and the thing is 20. She's not Okay good.
• 54:38
  That dude is a teenager to your Aunty your tenured and other
• 54:43
  than Solutions. Who can remember the last time
• 54:45
  you ran a 20-second raised to 20 second race in the fourth round
• 54:51
  at the start. Go out.
• 55:07
  There were nineteen seven right now.
• 55:11
  All right, next, the best event. When was our Turtles.
• 55:21
  I mean, I didn't know where else to go with it.
• 55:30
  This is what I was. This is what I held back from
• 55:32
  saying earlier. When the governor was getting
• 55:34
  into this, it's clearly the woman's hurts and the women's
• 55:38
  hurdles has been the hardest game on planet Earth for a long
• 55:42
  time. Now I don't mean in track and
• 55:45
  field pick a sport, it's the Hardest game on earth and in one
• 55:51
  competition all of a sudden 12:5 ancient no more.
• 55:55
  Yeah, I mean right to 1250 to make the final I'm sorry people
• 56:00
  12/5 until extremely recently would basically guarantee you a
• 56:06
  medal in most Global champion won back in 1718?
• 56:10
  Yes it did. I was in the building now. 12/5
• 56:15
  is terrible. Hot trash.
• 56:19
  Like that's how good the women's hurdles, that's how good I mean.
• 56:26
  Yeah we don't we don't need to beat this one.
• 56:29
  We can all be nice and play. Nice and talk about other events
• 56:32
  that were really good, but like there's only one answer.
• 56:35
  Yes. Yeah.
• 56:37
  All right. So opposite side of the
• 56:38
  spectrum, what was the worst event that we saw?
• 56:41
  That's interesting. Whoo, Dad, I'm not gonna say a
• 56:45
  worst event. I must say it.
• 56:47
  Country's worst performers in an event that we talked about this
• 56:50
  last week US Mint in the 800, don't get it, it's not that mean
• 56:56
  and then I'm going to say this since mins long jump.
• 57:04
  No disrespect to the governor. And I know that should be no no
• 57:07
  no, no. Because okay.
• 57:10
  On occasion, I don't get it like like no like Well I'm sorry.
• 57:20
  It's just not you know I grew up in the air grew up watching the
• 57:24
  battles right now. Did the battles aren't there?
• 57:28
  27 for isn't far? Yeah it isn't it.
• 57:32
  I hope you don't think I'm being elitist but if not it's not.
• 57:37
  You just crashed in 2008. No, I'm sorry.
• 57:47
  Worst event with I watched all week I will say this though.
• 57:52
  I don't know, I don't know cream.
• 57:53
  If you've actually stood on the runway and on the and on the
• 57:56
  actual board, I don't think it's a very good place to launch up.
• 58:02
  I think the I think the board setup gives too much.
• 58:05
  I'm not making an excuse. I don't think they'd jump.
• 58:08
  I don't think they jump particularly well at all as a
• 58:11
  group, right? Because here's the thing.
• 58:13
  Look, we've all seen people jump really far.
• 58:15
  I'm really bad facilities. That's happened.
• 58:18
  Christ. We become Pace to Miguel pay
• 58:20
  till 2018 towards the runway.
• 58:38
  The way things were set up in the stadium in Sydney with those
• 58:42
  swirling winds and the fact that it was cold.
• 58:46
  I mean look All that to say this, we have a problem in the
• 58:52
  measure 100%. Very, very big problem and the
• 58:59
  incentive isn't there. The want to isn't their standard
• 59:04
  is not there. The end.
• 59:07
  Nothing. I don't understand.
• 59:09
  Let's hope she isn't there. Even I don't feel like there is
• 59:15
  enough of an impetus in That events.
• 59:19
  I mean you just oppose that with what we saw in the men's triple
• 59:22
  jump. Okay, I mean you had to jump 17
• 59:27
  M to being a top six top seven, okay?
• 59:32
  So let me ask a question is seventeen meters away that far
• 59:38
  based on what we've were accustomed to seeing well based
• 59:42
  on. Okay, we just we were coming out
• 59:46
  of the greatest era. In my opinion, when you talk
• 59:49
  about that's why I'm asking ya two or three.
• 59:53
  Yeah that's why I'm asking ya those three athletes and what
• 59:58
  they did against each other to each other, it you're comparing
• 1:00:03
  that against the Connolly's of the world.
• 1:00:06
  The Kenny Harrison's of the world, the Jonathan's of the
• 1:00:08
  world. They carry that torch.
• 1:00:11
  We are not seeing the torch being carried, that's my point.
• 1:00:15
  Now that I wanted you to, that's what I want you to do is just,
• 1:00:17
  you know, To see a net. And that's my thing because
• 1:00:20
  like, like there just doesn't seem to be The passion for it,
• 1:00:28
  right? Like it did the coming to watch
• 1:00:30
  the mins long. Jump used to be an absolute
• 1:00:32
  dogfight. Now remember the the Melvin
• 1:00:35
  Lister and most my guy from Ole Miss Savant, a Stringfellow
• 1:00:39
  battles of the conference's, absolute levels.
• 1:00:41
  You know those those those battles like we're are those
• 1:00:43
  battles know like what would have happened to him?
• 1:00:47
  Like I don't know. What?
• 1:00:48
  What was the freak chains? Backfired?
• 1:00:50
  Where's where's those guys that? I don't know.
• 1:00:53
  It's, I don't know. I can't answer.
• 1:00:56
  Question. It's just it's tough.
• 1:00:59
  It's tough to watch and, you know, it was a lot said about
• 1:01:04
  what happened in 2012 in London, you know, and the opportunities
• 1:01:09
  that were there, you know, 836 111 the Olympic medal.
• 1:01:14
  That was one of the shortest distances ever jumped to win
• 1:01:18
  that gold medal. And you would think that things
• 1:01:22
  would have improved from there but they haven't they have not
• 1:01:25
  you You know, the last jumper, my opinion, that was like
• 1:01:30
  putting big jumps out there, you know injuries, he succumbed to
• 1:01:34
  injuries eventually with saladino means saladino.
• 1:01:38
  Was that guy? That was thinking about the
• 1:01:41
  world record every time he went out there, you know and you know
• 1:01:46
  but yeah I don't know, I'm waiting, I'm waiting for that
• 1:01:51
  next, you know, wunderkind to come along so, First of all sir.
• 1:02:00
  Lucius 100% agree. From an American perspective,
• 1:02:04
  800-meter men, awful, awful, and get anybody out of the first
• 1:02:11
  round. I have no explanation for that
• 1:02:14
  nonsense. There's no words for that.
• 1:02:16
  No, this is ridiculous. However, and I agree.
• 1:02:20
  The men's long jump was pretty bad overall.
• 1:02:24
  But for me, if the question is, if the question is worst event,
• 1:02:35
  Be not because of the athletes but because of the execution and
• 1:02:41
  the shenanigans the men's 110 hurdles was the worst event for
• 1:02:45
  me. I was more disappointed with the
• 1:02:48
  overall outcome of the men's 110 hurdles because of everything
• 1:02:53
  that went down, then I was with the men's loan jump because I
• 1:02:56
  didn't expect much out of men's long, jump.
• 1:02:57
  Anyway, I expected the men's once and hurdles to be one of
• 1:03:01
  the epic battles of the show and we I get to see that takes
• 1:03:06
  nothing away from Grant and what he did.
• 1:03:09
  But the worst event for me, the event, I walked away like Godly
• 1:03:12
  really was the men's One sensor. Hmm.
• 1:03:16
  But had nothing to do. Nothing to do with the athletes
• 1:03:18
  in the event that most people know, minutes of somebody
• 1:03:21
  getting injured, that's what I'm saying.
• 1:03:22
  Like like yes, go. Right ahead, like the defending
• 1:03:25
  Olympic champion, gets hurt doing a blowout like you already
• 1:03:27
  warmed up. He's already ready to go against
• 1:03:29
  her doing a blowout. And then fall start with that.
• 1:03:32
  Like we just like I said we got robbed of so much there.
• 1:03:35
  I'm like, yeah, yeah. I would call the Men's 110
• 1:03:38
  hurdles and, you know, obviously I coach the guy that won and was
• 1:03:41
  very anticlimactic. Yeah.
• 1:03:42
  Right. That's a perfect word for yes.
• 1:03:45
  I didn't expect much of a climax in the long jump.
• 1:03:53
  What was it for you? I don't know that I had.
• 1:04:00
  So again, this is to my rookie ship.
• 1:04:04
  I was still in the armored with everything comes to watching
• 1:04:07
  everything. Right?
• 1:04:09
  So that I have a hard time. I listen to all of your
• 1:04:12
  arguments, I can't disagree up the men Turtles.
• 1:04:14
  I can't disagree about everything else that's been
• 1:04:17
  discussed, but still at different points in each of
• 1:04:21
  those events or I was like, oh my God, still wide-eyed.
• 1:04:25
  So I can't fairly That question, unfortunately.
• 1:04:31
  Next year, capital from the twitterverse from the social
• 1:04:36
  media world as it pertains to distance.
• 1:04:41
  There's a big conversation out there right now about how it's
• 1:04:45
  okay for the Americans to be mediocre at distance and they
• 1:04:49
  don't get crushed for it, right? There's a big difference between
• 1:04:54
  not making it out of the 800 meter Heats and for example,
• 1:04:58
  what what Fisher did in 5K and 10K which I thought was
• 1:05:02
  phenomenal, like that. Dude was great.
• 1:05:05
  So you know us not getting a medal in things.
• 1:05:09
  It's not all built the same way people like you can praise
• 1:05:12
  Fisher for his accomplishments and absolutely trashed 800-meter
• 1:05:17
  who like that's not the same standard.
• 1:05:20
  Why don't you actually get is this this is my retort to that.
• 1:05:23
  Okay. So when we go to a world
• 1:05:25
  championships and we don't want to meddle anything from the
• 1:05:27
  water to the 400 hurdles, I won't hear you.
• 1:05:29
  Call me and say the same. Shion.
• 1:05:31
  That's what I'm saying is no way, you're going to say that
• 1:05:39
  his butt off and got four thin one and eight in the other.
• 1:05:43
  You're never going to say that about the Sprint and nobody's
• 1:05:45
  ever gonna sit about the spring, tell anybody to bash anybody,
• 1:05:48
  okay? Like we can't be, but I
• 1:05:50
  actually, I actually could retort that for you right now.
• 1:05:53
  I have absolutely no problem with the womens hundred meter
• 1:05:56
  dash people from Team USA. Okay, so, but okay, that's not a
• 1:06:01
  retort because it didn't happen from the hundred all the way up
• 1:06:05
  to the Foreigner hurdle. No.
• 1:06:06
  But when it happens in every single event because from every
• 1:06:11
  event from the 802, the 10,000 there was nothing.
• 1:06:15
  Okay. So now the whole wants to stay
• 1:06:17
  okay, okay, okay. Okay, on the women's side, but
• 1:06:20
  on the men's side mins, yeah, eight to ten on the women from
• 1:06:23
  the 15 to the 10, right? So if that same thing happened,
• 1:06:27
  if we ever go to a championship, And we don't get any medals and
• 1:06:31
  a teaspoon of hurt a little bit, you're not going to have that
• 1:06:33
  same conversation. There's no way that's fine.
• 1:06:36
  And it is nothing. You can say to me or anybody
• 1:06:39
  else didn't know you and your petty behind, I will be Petty
• 1:06:46
  when it's time to be Petty. I meant what I said about all of
• 1:06:49
  us. Okay, this is not about the
• 1:06:53
  women are talking about a group of group of events that are not
• 1:06:57
  held to the same standard as a Sprint and they're not Okay, I
• 1:07:00
  don't agree with how they're going about it and they're
• 1:07:01
  attacking it, okay? Okay, in my opinion, okay, we
• 1:07:06
  didn't do very well, we got no medals in the long jump, the
• 1:07:08
  triple jump high, jump on the men's side, right?
• 1:07:13
  Okay. Only got the one medal in the
• 1:07:14
  women's side of that event. Yeah, so there's a lot of
• 1:07:16
  Vineyards. We can do badly.
• 1:07:17
  We had this marvelous championships, guys, and it was
• 1:07:19
  phenomenal. We should be applauded for that,
• 1:07:22
  but being who we are, we want to see us, be who we know we should
• 1:07:26
  be. Yeah, we should be meddling in
• 1:07:28
  these events. You know, so maybe somebody to
• 1:07:33
  call Alberto and find out what he was doing.
• 1:07:37
  Oh, I mean I will say this now. See I can keep going.
• 1:08:36
  Look at how far he's come. Like, he's going to be back back
• 1:08:40
  and, and, and we'll have a guy that can metal at that.
• 1:08:42
  But, yeah, it was I know we are a speed and Power Country for
• 1:08:48
  sure. But man, do we carry the mail
• 1:08:51
  this time writing this being just being Power, Team carried,
• 1:08:56
  the mail, I think. I think if there's an excuse for
• 1:09:00
  World Athletics to never bring the World Championships back to
• 1:09:04
  the US. I think this is this is a prime
• 1:09:08
  reason right here because that was a shellacking.
• 1:09:12
  Okay, let's call it. What it is.
• 1:09:15
  Okay. The metals that the USA won The
• 1:09:18
  Meadows that in the way they performed.
• 1:09:21
  And the way the crowd like that's if there's anything I
• 1:09:25
  would regret is that I didn't get to feel that and to feel,
• 1:09:29
  you know, when the crowd got going, you know, night after
• 1:09:32
  night after night, you know, supporting us athletes young
• 1:09:37
  man. It was at the end of it.
• 1:09:40
  It was there wasn't any Going to get to 40 because
• 1:10:18
  there's certain Metals. Okay, look at the beginning of
• 1:10:20
  the week. I counted us as at least one in
• 1:10:23
  probably two metals in the women's 100 hurdles, I mean.
• 1:10:26
  Yeah. Right.
• 1:10:27
  Before we the weeks, when the week started, I thought we had
• 1:10:31
  an outside chance, outside chance at a medal in the women's
• 1:10:34
  200, right? When the, when the meats when
• 1:10:37
  the meat started, I definitely thought we had an outside chance
• 1:10:40
  at a medal at third place. At least in the women, the
• 1:10:43
  women's 400. Like again, I didn't lock these
• 1:10:45
  things in but I certainly thought we could win those they
• 1:10:48
  were chances. Yeah.
• 1:10:49
  Absolutely. They were legitimate chances.
• 1:10:51
  So like the fact that all those things went begging as that the
• 1:10:54
  bridge would say and we still ended up with 33 damn metals
• 1:10:57
  like I think the governor's listen they finally lamented to
• 1:11:02
  give us a championship so we can shut up because they were never
• 1:11:05
  going to give it to us again. Let's be clear and they gave it
• 1:11:08
  to us. It look it it's like black
• 1:11:09
  history month, right? It's the shortest coldest month
• 1:11:11
  of the year. They gave they gave us World
• 1:11:14
  Championships in a year with a European Championships and so
• 1:11:17
  they could have it as early as humanly possible.
• 1:11:19
  Yeah. Right.
• 1:11:20
  This is the most D emphasize. Exactly.
• 1:11:24
  So now let's let's be let's be fair that happened because of
• 1:11:28
  the pandemic. That's true.
• 1:11:30
  Because improving of because the championship should have been
• 1:11:32
  last year. Stop that, right?
• 1:11:34
  Big, it fell that way. Thank you, time out, time out.
• 1:11:39
  What are you guys talking about European championship?
• 1:11:53
  Yeah, so it's both sides are true.
• 1:11:56
  It's more about the fact that the world's came before
• 1:12:00
  Europeans at that is exactly. That is disrespect.
• 1:12:04
  That is exactly of what is supposed to be the crown jewel
• 1:12:09
  of our sport like hello, you know.
• 1:12:13
  And and when you think about, you know, when Commonwealth is
• 1:12:19
  like their athletes that are now coming, Off of World
• 1:12:23
  Championships and I don't know if you saw but like the entire
• 1:12:26
  Canadian Sprint Squad said, you know what?
• 1:12:29
  We're good. I'm not passing on Commonwealth
• 1:12:32
  like it's too much, it's too much.
• 1:12:36
  You know Governor, I know it's too much because I'm getting on
• 1:12:39
  a plane to go to Commonwealth Games on Sunday and I don't even
• 1:12:42
  know what day of the week. It is currently absolutely man.
• 1:12:47
  I mean, so yeah, where we at you?
• 1:12:50
  What's next? All right.
• 1:12:52
  Let The Best For Last and VP of meat.
• 1:12:56
  I have my want to go first. Good job.
• 1:12:59
  She said she had her late ladies.
• 1:13:03
  First Kelly am sure my points on its own.
• 1:13:08
  You can't, you count it up the points?
• 1:13:10
  What would you actually did? I actually did it had 18.
• 1:13:14
  And then what is it 2120? That's one score.
• 1:13:20
  Okay, College. Okay, say I like the Matthew.
• 1:13:24
  I'm okay. I know about your man.
• 1:13:31
  First of all, wait a minute. You didn't see it.
• 1:13:50
  You didn't you didn't see the massive.
• 1:13:52
  Think I can be celebrations, drug drug, testing and covid
• 1:13:55
  protocol after the decks. Yeah I didn't look at the end of
• 1:13:58
  my MVP and listen I'm going to say this.
• 1:14:03
  I'm going to get some side eyes and it is what it is.
• 1:14:05
  I'm going to say what I say and I mean when I say I'm going to
• 1:14:08
  say that my MVP for this meat, honestly, for real is Solutions
• 1:14:13
  and I'm going to say this for a real reason.
• 1:14:17
  The man coached athletes for nine of the ten days at a global
• 1:14:26
  Championship people. This ain't the SEC meat.
• 1:14:32
  He coached athletes from Day 2 to day 10.
• 1:14:38
  And I just want people to understand.
• 1:14:42
  Nobody else is closed there. People who are sprinkled in
• 1:14:46
  there, who coach people on Day, 2 and day 10, but everybody else
• 1:14:50
  had a break in there were at least one day.
• 1:14:53
  This man was going to the track every day and it was like you
• 1:14:56
  got death taxes and solutions coming up the section. 224 to
• 1:15:00
  watch somebody run something. Am I Wrong?
• 1:15:03
  Am I Wrong Clyde? You are absolutely, not wrong
• 1:15:06
  and I will not be picking Solutions as my MVP around me
• 1:15:11
  but I like what you did there and I will I will Echo that
• 1:15:16
  prays again. I Solutions can just mute his
• 1:15:21
  mic and be embarrassed if that's what it is.
• 1:15:22
  But Couple couple months ago, we had we had a little internet
• 1:15:26
  debate because I called Sir Lucius.
• 1:15:28
  The goat of NCAA coaches and apparently people disagree with
• 1:15:33
  me on that which is insane, but got like as a person.
• 1:15:39
  I'm, you know, I'm younger. I've done work, that has landed
• 1:15:43
  me to coach at two World Championships, one indoor, one
• 1:15:47
  outdoor. And I know the work that it took
• 1:15:49
  to get there with two athletes. I can't imagine the process
• 1:15:57
  going there to where I have to be on call for work every day.
• 1:16:01
  So, MVP of coaches, it ain't even close is absolutely sir
• 1:16:06
  lucious but the question was intended for the athletes.
• 1:16:09
  So I'm going to pick, I do understand that, but I wanted to
• 1:16:13
  give, I was to give eight coaches, never get there.
• 1:16:16
  They never get the props in the flowers, right?
• 1:16:19
  And it dawned on me, the day before, We had to go coach for
• 1:16:25
  two days in the deck, right? It dawned on me.
• 1:16:30
  Lucius has coach seven days already.
• 1:16:32
  Yeah. And I'm like, trying to, like
• 1:16:34
  store up energy to get ready for the two that I'm about to go
• 1:16:37
  attack sometime. It is already coach 7, freaking
• 1:16:41
  days. I get it.
• 1:16:43
  Two sessions a day, folks. I'm gonna put it.
• 1:16:46
  I'm going to put a cherry on that because I was at the meat,
• 1:16:48
  right? So I haven't yet had enough.
• 1:16:50
  Time to consume all the media coverage.
• 1:16:53
  The NBC coverage, the the peacock coverage, whatever.
• 1:16:58
  The few days that I have, I've heard a lot of coaches name,
• 1:17:02
  shout it out on the air. I heard my Calaway his name on
• 1:17:07
  the area. So if we got time to shout out
• 1:17:11
  coaches who got one metal or one person in the final of the 30-40
• 1:17:17
  people that they coach, I mean we can shout out some names.
• 1:17:22
  So you know, just saying my MVP. I like the show you a con rod
• 1:17:29
  numbers. I really do.
• 1:17:31
  I honestly I to I'm going to defer that my pic that I was
• 1:17:36
  going to say is Sydney clopton because she is carrying the
• 1:17:43
  mantle of this sport moving forward.
• 1:17:47
  Shelly is older. She's still on top right but
• 1:17:52
  Shelley is much closer to the end of her career than she is.
• 1:17:54
  The beginning said he's 22 years old.
• 1:17:58
  And moving forward, the global face of our sport should be and
• 1:18:03
  probably will be sitting McLaughlin.
• 1:18:07
  I will go next and I'm going to give you your Shelly and price,
• 1:18:11
  Frasier price, I'm sorry, disrespect her name, and I want
• 1:18:14
  to counter you with Miss shreeka, Jackson who scored the
• 1:18:17
  exact same now points to show ended.
• 1:18:19
  I was, I didn't enjoy getting her Point yet.
• 1:18:21
  We came to this event faster than I could get to finish her
• 1:18:24
  Point Public math, and I will take shriek has combined
• 1:18:31
  performances in the one and two are better than Shelly.
• 1:18:34
  So sure. Because my Envision that is
• 1:18:36
  true. So here's what you do.
• 1:19:05
  Okay, so that's that was my question.
• 1:19:07
  The most socially and wins the hundred shrieking Sharika.
• 1:19:12
  Where's the 200 million second interval for Mu relay?
• 1:19:15
  Yeah, got it. Well, no, I saw her Fifth.
• 1:19:20
  And so I was wondering, I didn't know if she was through the
• 1:19:23
  prelims or through the wrongs or if she was really on, I didn't
• 1:19:27
  see it. So, And I didn't get to the
• 1:19:30
  Matthew. Well, thanks to Sir lucious for
• 1:19:33
  going ahead and appreciate that. Definitely reference Jackson for
• 1:19:42
  me. And, you know, it's, it's kind
• 1:19:46
  of a sin, a whole when you have someone like Sharika Jackson
• 1:19:50
  sitting there, you know, and if it had a 4x4 that they thought
• 1:19:55
  had a chance to line up with the u.s. seem you can Person that
• 1:20:00
  Eureka Jackson would have been on that Squad.
• 1:20:03
  I pray I think it's obvious that knowing what the US had, you
• 1:20:09
  know. And I'm not saying that anyone
• 1:20:11
  waived any white flags, I mean let's let's let's call it what
• 1:20:15
  it is. The Jamaican team finishing
• 1:20:18
  second in the 4 by 4 and s in the woman's 4x4.
• 1:20:22
  Pretty damn good. You got to give them the flowers
• 1:20:24
  on that. That was the National Record for
• 1:20:26
  both of them. Absolutely, yes.
• 1:20:29
  Yes. So, but you know, I yes, I have
• 1:20:33
  to say, what should we could Jackson what she put down in
• 1:20:36
  that 200? Yeah, that Called what it is.
• 1:20:43
  That that was that was an MVP performance and I want lucious
• 1:20:48
  and and Lamar do not go down the petty Rabbit Hole here because
• 1:20:53
  I'm not attempting to be Petty. Well, here we go.
• 1:20:56
  Here we go. In reference to Sarika Jackson.
• 1:20:59
  There's another great video that you need to see.
• 1:21:03
  We're after her performance in the 200 m, a member of the media
• 1:21:08
  and it sounded like American Media was asking her about her
• 1:21:13
  thoughts of flow, Jose 200-meter record and whether or not she
• 1:21:17
  thought it was legitimate. Our answer to that was brilliant
• 1:21:23
  and perfect. Hmm.
• 1:21:25
  Regardless of what you think about that record or that
• 1:21:28
  particular athlete Sharika Jackson gave the only answer
• 1:21:32
  that an athlete in that positions, just give it and it
• 1:21:35
  was brilliant and she basically gave him the middle finger, your
• 1:21:38
  finger is bleeding, was like how dare you ask me such a
• 1:21:41
  disrespectful question, what the hell is wrong with you?
• 1:21:45
  Whether you agree with that or not and some people don't that
• 1:21:49
  was the right answer. Her in that moment, Bravo to
• 1:21:51
  Sharika for, for her side eye, and her face, and her tone in
• 1:21:57
  that moment. So before what else do we have?
• 1:22:03
  That we do that. We have to eat crow and yeah do
• 1:22:08
  things that are a little bit new segment that we're going to tag
• 1:22:12
  onto all of the predictions. It's not really about
• 1:22:15
  predictions, but yes, yeah, go ahead.
• 1:22:18
  But so, A segment from what show?
• 1:22:21
  I apologize. I don't recall.
• 1:22:23
  Oh you mean the model? Yeah.
• 1:22:26
  Oh yeah. No, I totally stole this idea
• 1:22:28
  from colic out. There you go.
• 1:22:30
  Colin Cowherd once a week has a segment.
• 1:22:32
  Colin was right? Column was wrong and I thought
• 1:22:35
  it'd be fun for the audience to see us admit when we screw
• 1:22:38
  things up and praise ourselves when we do well.
• 1:22:41
  So, Segment is so bright, so wrong.
• 1:22:45
  So wrong. Yeah, well, I don't know what I
• 1:22:49
  was right about. I know I was totally wrong about
• 1:22:54
  the women's 800 and that not that I thought it slow was far
• 1:23:01
  off from what she actually did because I because I still think
• 1:23:04
  she's not the same as she was a year ago which he proved, but I
• 1:23:08
  thought that the two had caught up to her but I want to give
• 1:23:12
  mismo For shut my mouth. That was nice to watch.
• 1:23:17
  So I was totally wrong about you and I have no idea and this
• 1:23:22
  Wilson because that was totally uh, Nigel a bike.
• 1:23:25
  Yes. Shows up for the championship.
• 1:23:28
  Absolutely. She might she must have had
• 1:23:30
  covid or something. So, I don't know if it makes you
• 1:23:33
  feel any better. You weren't as wrong about the
• 1:23:35
  women's 800 as I was because I absolutely believed in what I
• 1:23:41
  saw at the national championships from From Miss,
• 1:23:43
  Audrey Wilson. And I agree with you.
• 1:23:45
  That wasn't her at Worlds. I don't know what when I don't
• 1:23:48
  know what that is because they've never messed that up,
• 1:23:52
  you know? I mean, like, she's always
• 1:23:53
  already they. Yeah.
• 1:23:54
  Her and her coach, you know, so of like if we come to find out,
• 1:23:58
  she had covid or something else, like it would 0% surprise.
• 1:24:01
  But at the end of the day, I definitely have to eat a ton of
• 1:24:03
  crow for predicting the upset and having misogyny Wilson
• 1:24:08
  behave. It is what it is.
• 1:24:13
  You got sometimes, you got to own it.
• 1:24:14
  You gotta go out on a limb. And personally, as somebody on
• 1:24:19
  this panel, that thought that particular pick was utterly
• 1:24:22
  ridiculous. I am enjoying this particular
• 1:24:25
  moment, 100%, you know, supposed to be clear, I got the women's
• 1:24:31
  eight wrong to because I picked the American sweet, but that's
• 1:24:35
  not the one that I feel. I got the most wrong, the one, I
• 1:24:38
  feel like I got the most wrong with all.
• 1:24:41
  All due respect is the men's 200.
• 1:24:44
  I straight up said here and many.
• 1:24:46
  Many other places that Noah was going to lose that race and Lose
• 1:24:51
  It by daylight. I've never been more wrong about
• 1:24:55
  a thing ever, in this work. America Bravo sir.
• 1:25:02
  You are the man. It is your event.
• 1:25:04
  It you are on the throne. My somebody's gonna have to
• 1:25:08
  knock you all the way off of it because taking Michael Johnson's
• 1:25:11
  record is not an easy feat. Was very excited to see that.
• 1:25:16
  Be the result. I loved, you know, him playing
• 1:25:19
  to the clock afterwards like really and then, you know, it
• 1:25:22
  actually became official so I could not have been more wrong
• 1:25:25
  about that one, brother you and props to Lance Brahman who
• 1:25:30
  coaches, the young man Bravo both of you.
• 1:25:34
  They go on the 200 real quick even correct Governor will?
• 1:25:37
  I'm sorry, I personally was so not baffled, I don't know I
• 1:25:43
  guess. In all of that 200 finish, I
• 1:25:48
  never realized who came in second until I was doing the
• 1:25:50
  points recap, and I was like, is that right?
• 1:25:53
  And so I literally came out, I went out of screen.
• 1:25:55
  Come back in the screen refresh and I was like, oh, I got it.
• 1:26:00
  Okay. So apologies to can even Eric,
• 1:26:03
  didn't know you took the silver? Congratulations.
• 1:26:06
  But I too got, the men's 200 Old.
• 1:26:13
  I'm trying to remember Or we're screwed up the most.
• 1:26:16
  Can you can you tell me where more than one?
• 1:26:19
  Now, you ain't got to be just one.
• 1:26:21
  You can throw. You can throw things in there.
• 1:26:30
  Sure. Right.
• 1:26:32
  I mean, we had to be like, we had to have a completely
• 1:26:36
  obliterated, that absolutely. Well, the mere fact that an
• 1:26:42
  American didn't win a medal that's just that alone.
• 1:26:46
  Like, you know what? I'm not going to say.
• 1:26:49
  It completely obliterated that because I'm pretty sure I have
• 1:26:51
  Brittany Anderson, getting a medal.
• 1:26:53
  You dig? I did too, didn't you?
• 1:27:01
  Did not. Who am I?
• 1:27:03
  Talking three, Jasmine, Nia and Kenny.
• 1:27:08
  Oh wow, my apologies Prema Prema.
• 1:27:14
  I believe Governor, the you, and I had the same three pigs.
• 1:27:18
  Wow, yes you did. Okay, yep.
• 1:27:22
  Yes, I definitely screwed the pooch on that one.
• 1:27:26
  Yes, you know what? That, that that right there
• 1:27:29
  might have been also been one of the biggest surprises of the
• 1:27:31
  meat was MIA. Eileen not making it out of the
• 1:27:33
  first round. Yeah, I mean, that was shocking.
• 1:27:37
  Listen, we if you hurdle, you following right there, all falls
• 1:27:43
  are not created equal, right? Some rolls come because you
• 1:27:46
  under pressure some Falls, we could come over because you just
• 1:27:49
  scared me. You clip the hurdle like it
• 1:27:51
  happened? Yeah, she was in control of the
• 1:27:53
  race. She was cruising along its the
• 1:27:55
  prelim bad time. Something about the hurdles that
• 1:28:04
  was different. The actual the way that were
• 1:28:06
  built, oh, you're making reference to the fact that the
• 1:28:09
  hurdle boards were actually would see what looks cool would
• 1:28:14
  they were worse. So a lot less forgiving than wow
• 1:28:19
  plastic boards that we typically see these, they're okay.
• 1:28:22
  But when we talk about the woman's heart, Kenny apologized
• 1:28:26
  on Twitter and mention that the hurdles will made of wood and I
• 1:28:30
  was like what no yeah they were Yeah.
• 1:28:33
  There's a some of them in the woma period, you know, babe.
• 1:28:36
  Okay. But like what they did, they
• 1:28:37
  honestly carrying them around they were lighter than your
• 1:28:41
  Lumia. Yeah, you couldn't tell the
• 1:28:44
  difference. Yeah.
• 1:28:47
  But I want to speak of the one that's her house.
• 1:28:49
  I want to give us a shout out to miss Armstrong.
• 1:28:52
  Yeah. Well what's your 12:38 and
• 1:28:55
  final? Yeah which hey three weeks ago.
• 1:29:01
  Turn it back flips. Oh absolutely absolutely.
• 1:29:05
  All right. Okay so one time we can come
• 1:29:10
  back to more things that we got wrong if y'all have them.
• 1:29:12
  Cuz I know we do. But I personally would like to
• 1:29:15
  hear. Y'all self praise for something.
• 1:29:17
  You got, right? I'm Shoveling.
• 1:29:23
  You can celebrate for all of us that the defining win, the, the
• 1:29:27
  winner that was literally, the only event that was predicted.
• 1:29:32
  Added a hundred percent. Every other event we did not
• 1:29:35
  predict 100% at all. See, the only thing I'm going to
• 1:29:40
  say I got right in terms of that.
• 1:29:43
  The World Championships is. I got the taper of my athletes,
• 1:29:47
  right? Unfortunate like correctness was
• 1:30:10
  that I think every single one of us had a little bit of a side.
• 1:30:14
  I about us winning the mixed relay because we all actually
• 1:30:20
  dive into the schedule. So we realize that the fix was
• 1:30:25
  in as far as leveling the playing field and then went and
• 1:30:29
  then when we saw what team we rolled out there or like, we're
• 1:30:33
  just helping them. Yeah.
• 1:30:37
  Obviously, we all knew that this was a chance.
• 1:30:42
  Yeah, you know, and I, you know, I've had conversations with the
• 1:30:46
  relay coaches and I've said that I'm like, you got to pay
• 1:30:49
  attention to the fact that the, this was set up for the world to
• 1:30:52
  beat us. If we didn't, if we didn't get
• 1:30:55
  rid of our no arrogance, right? Yeah, we can, we cannot beat the
• 1:31:00
  world with r45 when we just can't.
• 1:31:02
  We don't have that kind of debt right now, And I want to, I want
• 1:31:06
  to have faith that they get it right moving forward.
• 1:31:10
  My, that's yeah. I mean, our best, I mean, I hate
• 1:31:15
  to say this but it's factual our best female quarter milers all
• 1:31:18
  run the 400 hurdles right now. Anyway, if the schedule stays
• 1:31:22
  the same going forward, it's an easy fix.
• 1:31:24
  Well, I'm taking a sense to that, cause I don't think all of
• 1:31:26
  them can outrun my girls. Miss me with that.
• 1:31:30
  Not. All right, why are we why we
• 1:31:37
  taking personal offense? Broad stroke the stroke across
• 1:31:44
  the face of my girls you because because I love you just because
• 1:31:53
  I'm sorry, totally thil. Diggs is the only one currently
• 1:31:57
  worthy of running on a 4x4 with the rest of the $400.
• 1:32:01
  Now, Lamar has to go on the website and buy a shirt.
• 1:32:06
  Let me tell you something. Hold your breath.
• 1:32:07
  Wait for that. Now because I know the governor
• 1:32:11
  will come behind me. And class up his self-praise.
• 1:32:17
  I'm going all the way Petty on mine, and I got two one for the
• 1:32:24
  general public and the audience I've been saying for years.
• 1:32:30
  At this event held in Eugene would be phenomenal.
• 1:32:35
  And the crowds would be there and it would be epic and it
• 1:32:38
  absolutely was. I do not understand how anybody
• 1:32:42
  still looking at the TV because that's where you were is
• 1:32:46
  claiming that the crowd was somehow not up to scale.
• 1:32:51
  It was full of folks. It was full every day.
• 1:32:56
  Eugene, showed up showed out fantastic, the whole thing was a
• 1:33:01
  great great, great show. And if you didn't go, you should
• 1:33:05
  have you're going to regret not being there because it's never
• 1:33:08
  coming back here. So coming back.
• 1:33:11
  Now, we can build a new airport before they do whatever.
• 1:33:15
  Now, this one is actually for my fellow panelists, governor of
• 1:33:21
  the wizard is the women's 400 or Governor excluded, because I do
• 1:33:25
  not believe He was around at the time.
• 1:33:29
  I told Governor listen to me. I told these people long time
• 1:33:35
  ago, Sydney McLaughlin would never be beaten by delillo
• 1:33:39
  Muhammad again. He did.
• 1:33:41
  They laugh that they were blasted she they told me I know
• 1:33:46
  I laughed at him. They told me I was being
• 1:33:48
  disrespected because they first first of all I want you to stop
• 1:33:51
  saying they and talk to Lamar. No, no, no.
• 1:33:59
  I was being disrespectful. Okay, okay.
• 1:34:01
  First of all I want to say this that you can still not say she
• 1:34:04
  will never be beat never because Jesus Mohammed or anybody else
• 1:34:14
  ever again? Because because he is now triple
• 1:34:17
  down on it because if he/she loves up and she falls or she
• 1:34:21
  lines up if I separate it could happen well sure sure.
• 1:34:24
  Yeah. You could pull a hamstring or
• 1:34:25
  you can fight, she would not lose to them but that would be
• 1:34:28
  her. Beating herself.
• 1:34:30
  Never get good. I'm not gonna do this with you
• 1:34:32
  tonight because I wasn't laughing or scoffing at you and
• 1:34:36
  look. You know you are very good at
• 1:34:38
  patting yourself on the back. So boy he's the one
• 1:34:55
  that I have nothing to do with this.
• 1:35:00
  Appropriately, pointing out that you got all all of your Peaks,
• 1:35:04
  correct, don't try all the tapers.
• 1:35:06
  Correct. Nice try though.
• 1:35:08
  Will anybody see the way? We're not meant to eat this on
• 1:35:23
  that one. I got nothing.
• 1:35:36
  I'm looking to get something right Governor so you in the
• 1:35:51
  men's shot, put Second to that was the 800.
• 1:35:59
  So you would only want to get the third place finisher right
• 1:36:01
  in the shop for it, right? No, no one.
• 1:36:05
  Got the 33rd Place in the chocolate.
• 1:36:08
  We all had Walsh. Not, I was Sunday and in the
• 1:36:11
  women's 800 you had Mo and Maura.
• 1:36:15
  So, you City scored the most points in the shot.
• 1:36:17
  Put correct when they're out. He also his points of his
• 1:36:21
  points. Okay.
• 1:36:23
  Yeah, we all scored eight points.
• 1:36:27
  Okay, just want to say for the record, I did win the men.
• 1:36:29
  I still don't know how that happens because I told you I
• 1:36:35
  don't know anything about I clearly don't know anything at
• 1:36:37
  all about women's track though because I got eight point three
• 1:36:40
  eight points, that's terrible. Yeah well I I mean I was wrong a
• 1:36:48
  lot. Amen brother and as I spent so
• 1:36:57
  much time trying to not pick with y'all were picking
• 1:37:02
  anything, But I got done, we got done with the show I'm like, oh
• 1:37:14
  my gosh, that's funny. All right well I can wrap up the
• 1:37:18
  show because we are we've gone a little bit longer and I swear we
• 1:37:21
  keep trying to say that we're going to go a little bit
• 1:37:22
  shorter, we'll give our heartbeat pops and then wrap up
• 1:37:26
  I think at the culminating moment of the world Champs and
• 1:37:31
  and going in their respective championships at each.
• 1:37:33
  She has and what not? This might be an appropriate
• 1:37:36
  time to do. So does anybody have something
• 1:37:39
  they'd like to? There you go.
• 1:37:41
  Clyde with your hand wrist. I got a pretty quick one.
• 1:37:45
  Hopefully I can make it quick to me.
• 1:37:48
  I treated this world championships was kind of all
• 1:37:51
  about family to me, you know, everybody knows about my son
• 1:37:57
  Kai. A lot of people don't know that
• 1:37:59
  we learned of his presence in the world in Eugene, Oregon.
• 1:38:03
  Oregon a year ago and to see like to return there with him
• 1:38:10
  until eight months old and the world.
• 1:38:14
  When that has happened, you know, meant meant meant a lot,
• 1:38:18
  to me. It also meant a lot to me that I
• 1:38:20
  basically got to kick it with my extended family.
• 1:38:25
  The members you see right here, Governor excluded, he couldn't
• 1:38:28
  make the trip for the majority of the week was awesome as well.
• 1:38:32
  And none of that, actually Been possible if it wasn't for Mando
• 1:38:36
  and I will meet my new plant is I mean company Mondo who
• 1:38:41
  basically you know got us the all-access passes and the VIP
• 1:38:47
  seats. And so you know to Micah and
• 1:38:51
  everybody affiliated with Mondo that made that happen for me and
• 1:38:54
  my family I really appreciate it.
• 1:38:55
  It was dope, I wouldn't have missed it for the world and I
• 1:38:58
  would have spent every dollar I needed to make it happen anyway.
• 1:39:00
  But the fact they helped us out with so much was awesome.
• 1:39:03
  And so, Thank you to the Mondo crew from me and my family.
• 1:39:08
  That's awesome for me. I was before we moved off the,
• 1:39:16
  you know, MVP and all that stuff.
• 1:39:20
  I wanted to throw in a category for most emotional moment.
• 1:39:28
  Hmm. And I don't know about you guys
• 1:39:32
  but, you know, track does that to me, right?
• 1:39:39
  and you know, one of the things that's extremely hard to do
• 1:39:45
  that, extremely, I mean, I think our sport is still trying to
• 1:39:49
  figure out how to get the outside world to connect with
• 1:39:56
  the principles and to get them to understand or somehow
• 1:40:01
  understand what's going on behind the scenes, what's
• 1:40:05
  leading up to these moments these moments of Brilliance, and
• 1:40:11
  how these athletes are overcoming and you know somehow
• 1:40:15
  producing these amazing performances so, my moment in
• 1:40:23
  the person I want to send heartbeats props out to is Kara
• 1:40:27
  Winger. And when I tell you that I was
• 1:40:36
  locked in on every single throw she did in that competition
• 1:40:43
  because I know what Carol Wingers been through.
• 1:40:48
  I've been through what Cara Wingers been through the brace
• 1:40:52
  on her leg You know, coming off of ACL surgery, multiple ACL
• 1:40:59
  surgeries, okay? And she's still there, winning
• 1:41:05
  the US championships nine times, okay?
• 1:41:10
  And never had had a sniff, it a medal.
• 1:41:15
  And she throws 61 meters plus and she has this grin on her
• 1:41:21
  face and I'm going. Oh boy.
• 1:41:24
  Here we go. And you're watching the
• 1:41:27
  competition and you're seeing these these athletes and no one
• 1:41:31
  seems to want to put this event to bed.
• 1:41:34
  You're not seeing somebody just saying, you know what?
• 1:41:38
  Peace out y'all. This is it.
• 1:41:40
  And she comes down on her sixth row, okay.
• 1:41:46
  Knowing this is the last event. The last time that she'll be
• 1:41:50
  throwing in a u.s. uniform last time, she'll be competing
• 1:41:55
  professional and she throws 64 m. + to grab the silver love,
• 1:42:01
  man. I mean All of us have been there
• 1:42:07
  like it's one of those heart grabbing moments where you can
• 1:42:12
  only hope you can only hope to go out like that.
• 1:42:17
  Right? And and you know we hear it you
• 1:42:23
  know, as athletes that are ending, you know getting to the
• 1:42:26
  end of our careers, we're hearing the talk.
• 1:42:29
  You can hear it. Here's a new, the new group of a
• 1:42:34
  He's still here. The new generation is here.
• 1:42:37
  Why are you still out here? Why are you still doing this?
• 1:42:40
  And I think for Kara Winger, she can now go into retirement,
• 1:42:45
  knowing that she shut them up. She shut up the naysayers.
• 1:42:50
  She did it on our home turf. Absolutely brilliant.
• 1:42:56
  Shed a tear just just really quick, right?
• 1:43:03
  Right off of that moment, right? Like and I think big league
• 1:43:06
  actually saw this and didn't realize what was going on.
• 1:43:08
  I've no Kara Winger from a long time.
• 1:43:10
  And we were leaving the stadium to head out and she was standing
• 1:43:15
  about 10 feet from Russ, and she was talking to some other people
• 1:43:18
  and I waited like, you know, almost like a fan and she sees
• 1:43:22
  me and she walks over me and gives me the huge.
• 1:43:26
  Is bear hug, and just squeezed. And it was an all knowing,
• 1:43:33
  right, you know, that I know that, you know, that I know kind
• 1:43:35
  of thing and I felt I felt like as the most honoured recipient,
• 1:43:43
  like I think she needed to give a hug to someone that makes
• 1:43:46
  sense. And I was honored that I was
• 1:43:48
  honored to be that someone, because listen, what she's been
• 1:43:53
  through is I don't think most of us have anywhere near the
• 1:43:57
  fortitude to go do that. I mean, let's be clear.
• 1:44:00
  She tore her ACL once in that building, not that building, but
• 1:44:05
  in that building on that Runway. Wow, right.
• 1:44:08
  So it's like, wow, to all of that Maya.
• 1:44:15
  My heartbeat props actually go out to for people who didn't
• 1:44:24
  know each other before this week and I'm still not 100% sure.
• 1:44:28
  They know each other, but they bonded together for a task at
• 1:44:32
  hand that was outside of their own body.
• 1:44:36
  There are three young gentleman who are Estonian, who go to
• 1:44:42
  Every combined event. Really, that estonians go to and
• 1:44:48
  they get drunk and cheer. They.
• 1:44:53
  Absolutely. And positively love the guy that
• 1:44:57
  big league and I coach Linden Victor.
• 1:45:01
  First day, he's not doing what he's supposed to do, or you're
• 1:45:05
  not feeling it in the high jump. And the bigger one stands up,
• 1:45:09
  come on and they get the crowd going crazy.
• 1:45:13
  And it's just like, this is on them, like they got this.
• 1:45:18
  And then they to comes and we get to the pole vault.
• 1:45:21
  And now my 3, Estonian cheerleaders, they've got a new
• 1:45:27
  band leader. And Linden's number one, fan who
• 1:45:33
  and I quote took the baby off the boob because a job needed to
• 1:45:38
  be done and ran into the stadium.
• 1:45:41
  To cheer for Linden is one Tiana Madison.
• 1:45:46
  So, during the entire pole, vault big league, and I walked
• 1:45:50
  somewhere in the neighborhood of two miles up and down up and
• 1:45:53
  down up and down, but we had nowhere near the effect on the
• 1:45:56
  competition that those four people did.
• 1:46:00
  Because those three guys, and Tiana, they had Linden's back.
• 1:46:05
  And when he was tight, they loosened him up.
• 1:46:08
  And when he needed juice, they gave it to him.
• 1:46:11
  And I just thought that was amazing.
• 1:46:15
  Right. Like there's no connection for
• 1:46:17
  any of the actual connection for any of the for them to him.
• 1:46:22
  His personality is such that they Guam to him and they knew
• 1:46:25
  that that he needed them and they gave of themselves for
• 1:46:31
  almost 3 hours. So my heart be props go to the
• 1:46:37
  linen, Victor fan, club, three, young, Estonian men whose names.
• 1:46:40
  I do not know they they will never pay for a drink in my
• 1:46:45
  presence. I will for sure, always give
• 1:46:48
  them alcohol because they love that.
• 1:46:50
  And to Linden's new Fairy Godmother, Tiana, Madison, who
• 1:46:58
  I've been told by ten different people, could they could hear
• 1:47:00
  her screaming on the screen on the peacock coverage L knew it
• 1:47:04
  was her rounding it out my heart.
• 1:47:08
  Be proper to go to a mom and her two young daughters, who
• 1:47:13
  actually stopped me during the pole vault competition.
• 1:47:17
  The mother had stopped me and and I apologize.
• 1:47:20
  I forgotten their names and so it'll come to me.
• 1:47:22
  And I'll go retroactively but she said, I hope your athlete
• 1:47:29
  does well, good luck. And then turned around and said
• 1:47:33
  I have to say this out loud. Loud.
• 1:47:35
  My girls are enamored with the fact that Linden has a female
• 1:47:37
  coach and I almost fell. I like almost started crying.
• 1:47:42
  I said, thank you so much for your words.
• 1:47:44
  Tell your daughters to keep doing what they do strong.
• 1:47:47
  I was able to find them during the Java or after the job
• 1:47:50
  competition and actually like they had us to take a picture
• 1:47:53
  with me, but I asked them. I said, no, I want to take a
• 1:47:56
  picture with you, you know? And so just in that moment for
• 1:48:00
  them to make it a point to stop Converse acknowledged.
• 1:48:05
  I give them props for being confident enough to do that, to
• 1:48:10
  acknowledge it, and just to keep standing up.
• 1:48:13
  So, he ever hear me speak about that.
• 1:48:15
  I'm always saying that just females in general.
• 1:48:18
  Just always need to speak up and stand up, so kudos to them and
• 1:48:23
  they're working hard as athletes.
• 1:48:24
  So keep working hard. But with that, here we are
• 1:48:30
  another episode down. Let's wrap this bad boy solution
• 1:48:35
  to say. Oh oh, just kidding.
• 1:48:38
  I already thought you went. I thought you were saying by
• 1:48:39
  like, I'm out my bad. That's my fault.
• 1:48:43
  That's my fault. So I do give a heartbeat props
• 1:48:59
  just to the City of Eugene as a whole to the to the volunteers
• 1:49:06
  to the. It just is everybody that was
• 1:49:08
  involved with the World Championships know where did I
• 1:49:10
  go anywhere and Eugene where people weren't welcomed me and
• 1:49:15
  pleasant and very happy to have us there.
• 1:49:17
  They ask questions they were engaging, it was just awesome.
• 1:49:21
  You know, so for the naysayers out there that, you know, want
• 1:49:25
  to have something bad to say, The latter World Championships
• 1:49:29
  and this may have been best when ever been to.
• 1:49:32
  Wow. And then the best.
• 1:49:33
  Wow. Wow, that's that's been echoed
• 1:49:39
  by Otto. Otto said this was the best
• 1:49:42
  thing I've ever seen. Yeah.
• 1:49:44
  Wow. That's pretty amazing.
• 1:49:48
  And it may start to finish. You had 97's and we finish with
• 1:49:54
  255 and 317. Mm-hmm.
• 1:49:58
  It wasn't just a performance is this was the atmosphere around
• 1:50:01
  it? No.
• 1:50:02
  Yeah. Like he like even you know back
• 1:50:04
  in the warm-up area it other than a couple instances but you
• 1:50:07
  know that things that happen but like it was just good.
• 1:50:12
  We just very, very, very Athlete friendly coach Rim, it was good
• 1:50:18
  to be there. And what and say, where they're
• 1:50:21
  making sure we got our steps in going around them to enter,
• 1:50:23
  though, there's something to be said about that, right?
• 1:50:28
  Because you can put on championships, a whole lot of
• 1:50:30
  ways. An athlete, we coach friendly
• 1:50:33
  Championship means a lot to the people that matter in the in the
• 1:50:39
  equation, right? Because the athletes and the
• 1:50:41
  coaches are the show, aren't they do, I got Until on my way
• 1:50:46
  home that the, I don't know, I apologize.
• 1:50:51
  I'm very ignorant in this part, those who are in the country
• 1:50:54
  that who's hosting next year, Budapest.
• 1:50:57
  They had their officials on site this year and we want you to
• 1:51:04
  look like this. And so all the officials were
• 1:51:08
  taking extra time to like kind of clarify and explain what was
• 1:51:11
  going on and why and what not and World us.
• 1:51:15
  And the Budapest officials were supposed to be.
• 1:51:19
  There are supposed to be mimicking because they saw the
• 1:51:22
  value in how it was ran. I had run into an official at
• 1:51:25
  the airport and she and I want to challenge you to use the word
• 1:51:30
  uninformed horses. Ignorant.
• 1:51:31
  Okay now. Yeah.
• 1:51:34
  And informed, that's true. That's very much it.
• 1:51:37
  Listen, there's there's data, right?
• 1:51:40
  MBC put out some information to said from TV numbers.
• 1:51:45
  You're breaking. Yes.
• 1:51:46
  Now, we're never going to break the attendance record of London,
• 1:51:51
  right? The venues are totally different
• 1:51:53
  sizes, but I'm very interested to see the attendance numbers
• 1:51:58
  when they come out based on percentages.
• 1:52:00
  It is London was at 91 percent capacity and I really want to
• 1:52:04
  want to see, you know what, how the attendance numbers come out?
• 1:52:07
  But yeah, they they put on a great show on a great show.
• 1:52:12
  I mean, for all of us who have been to Eugene for NCAA.
• 1:52:14
  Sorry. Free right.
• 1:52:16
  Much smaller things. I was flabbergasted at how well,
• 1:52:22
  the City of Eugene. Handled the increased traffic.
• 1:52:26
  Yes. Mmm.
• 1:52:29
  Right. Like look.
• 1:52:30
  What was right? What my biggest concern going
• 1:52:33
  there. I think I said this to
• 1:52:34
  Solutions. Like where am I gonna park the
• 1:52:36
  car? No, prob lock and a half from
• 1:52:40
  the stadium, every day. Every day.
• 1:52:43
  Every day we have a ticket to pay the Army stretched.
• 1:52:56
  We stretched it one day, but we only got one ticket, right?
• 1:52:59
  They did, they did a phenomenal job.
• 1:53:02
  I've seen, I've seen a couple of the comments from athletes that,
• 1:53:07
  you know, Stayed in and around the stadium.
• 1:53:10
  And they absolutely love the fact that they could connect
• 1:53:14
  with their fans that closely, you know, and be able to, you
• 1:53:20
  know, live eat sleep, you know, and then get to the track and
• 1:53:25
  everything was in this, this bubble bubble and they
• 1:53:29
  absolutely love that are and I remember, you know, mentioning
• 1:53:34
  you know, that, you know, a World Championships maybe two
• 1:53:37
  Ooh, big for a city like Eugene and it seems like I was wrong on
• 1:53:41
  that bike. I stayed 7 minute, walk from the
• 1:53:48
  city. Wow, seven minutes.
• 1:53:51
  Wow, that was amazing. And what and walking, you know,
• 1:53:54
  uphill, they're down here back, just listen to people talk you,
• 1:54:00
  how excited they were? I saw, you know, there was a day
• 1:54:04
  I think the 5 cables in the morning and it was this group of
• 1:54:07
  about 10 people. Just screening to get there.
• 1:54:10
  And this one guy like his girlfriend's running, he's
• 1:54:13
  walking and she's like you. If you make me miss this 5K, he
• 1:54:19
  looked out. He was playing on his phone and
• 1:54:20
  she's like, I'm tell you what How much?
• 1:54:59

• 1:55:29

  And it was just you know like just watching Bolt do what he
• 1:56:33
  did and then looking over and see two of the greats, just
• 1:56:37
  going, I mean it was one of those.
