0:49
gentleman, but I know. How are you doing, sir?
1:05

1:30
Are you busy this weekend? What happened,
1:49
what does it say? On the side of the track is like
1:51
the world's is not Track Town. USA is to the big city.
2:04
No, but it will always be true as long as like the sign.
2:09
Well, the championship part of the talent on that track, you
2:16
going to get ridiculously fast times but I will tell you this,
2:18
right? Governor.
2:21
How are you tonight? Okay this is.
2:35
This is March 20 23 chew. Okay.
2:44
All right let's get this ball rolling.
2:48
All right. Oh man, I was given a task, take
2:52
my job, seriously. Okay.
2:54
Thank you fired. What I'm volunteering or can I
3:03
Oh man, last but not least. Okay, spots listening to Aaron
3:35
Rodgers. Talk about bumping into the,
3:37
into the bathroom, in the sink. And and there's a, he said, the
3:41
most dangerous thing in the room was his big hook that was
3:43
hanging out of the wall because it was to put your towel on, but
3:47
without the towel on, it was just a big hook.
3:52
Yeah. All right.
3:55
Anyhow on to more productive conversations.
4:01
I mean to say track is back is like the biggest understatement
4:05
in the world like undersell, like That's like saying you're
4:10
going to go to? Mastro's, and you end up at
4:15
Sizzler. It's an undersell, not knocking
4:22
the Texas toast at Sizzler, but I mean, sort of Lucius was that
4:29
the SEC me there was? Like, you couldn't even finish
4:36
the first highlight before the second light highlight happened.
4:39
And then even the highlights in between the Heats like,
4:44
Ridiculous song. I felt like I was I was playing
4:48
ping-pong, I was watching the SEC me in the Big 12.
4:51
Me life. Yeah, the SEC me was the SEC
4:57
meet and they still feel like it's the fastest track in the
5:03
world and whatever we have the SEC meet their kind of acts like
5:07
the fastest track in the world. So phenomenal performances, you
5:12
know, I think that for me, the energy in the building I will
5:17
say that having a What would Leroy and his crew are doing an
5:23
Auburn it. What Duane and his crew are
5:25
doing a Tennessee of definitely added to the intensity of the
5:30
meat when it takes 20 30 to make the women's final, you know.
5:36
And that 11:32 the same 23 old doesn't make the beat the big
5:39
league, right? So this tell you, what kind of a
5:42
competition? A sec was this, year's is pretty
5:44
phenomenal. So, But I mean, I think we look
5:49
at highlights. I thought I thought the way
5:52
let's just start with the men's launcher, right?
5:54
Cameron Crump and the thing was, you know, if you're in the
5:58
building, Carjacking never thought camera wasn't going to
6:03
win, never, you know, he threw the rounds and he was just you
6:08
telling me what to do and then we hit it.
6:12
It was like, yep. That's what I was looking for.
6:14
So and then the young man, I don't know his name.
6:18
So crayon asked you to tell me what it tells me but the young
6:21
man that won the triple jump. Wow.
6:25
Wow. Yeah.
6:28
Except that was, that was still from a short approach.
6:30
Yeah he broke out two more steps for y'all.
6:32
He gave y'all tense time to dude is just yeah he's that guy you
6:40
know what you just say that we just say that we really need to
6:42
hope that he stays healthy and that he decides to stick around
6:48
in college for a while so we get a chance to save often but the
6:51
young man is absolutely fantastic.
6:53
Yes Do you didn't Hibbert? Yeah, ever try.
6:59
We started hearing about his Legend back in Jamaica and you
7:07
know, 15 16 years old and he goes to World Juniors and lights
7:11
that on fire in Cali Last Summer.
7:17
And then I mean that whole process of him getting called to
7:20
the out to Arkansas and then the short Approach at New Mexico.
7:26
Mexico. What did he do?
7:29
What did he just do? Phenomenal, phenomenal.
7:33
Yeah, the the sport might take care of that part in terms of
7:39
him staying you know? And unless we start seeing
7:46
Emphasis on the horizontal is again mean.
7:50
Yeah. I mean, I think he'll probably
7:51
be around for a while and I think it's good for the
7:56
Collegiate game. You know, I was about to say he
7:59
is the way the Yeah, but there's no Collective
8:21
connection with Jamaica. Trust me.
8:22
Here shots fired. Hey, there was also the mint 400
8:39
was. Rather where the spicy?
8:42
Yeah, when 4515 gets you 4, right?
8:48
Tough. Yes, yes and look you know they
8:52
clearly figured out something Elijah got one yeah you got to
8:55
give your cure Lord and our staff credit for that.
8:57
That guy, you know, he's really kind of dialed in right now.
9:01
Yeah, I mean what I noticed the most about that was, you know,
9:08
when he goes to the, I call it the the skating part of his
9:14
race. I mean, it's what he does.
9:17
I noticed it's a great description.
9:19
Yeah that was that was pretty
9:37
awesome. There was a bunch of Chaos in
9:40
the 4x4, man. I mean good Lord.
9:44
I've never seen him like that. I gotta take this time since
10:54
we're on the truncated time clock somebody.
10:58
Somebody said that the Big 12 was do me last week and Oklahoma
11:05
State said, hold my beer MSI, some time to address that
11:11
nonsense, I'm able to stay just you know, he outcoached
11:16
everybody. You know, he went with them,
11:18
when everybody wasn't You know, that was a brilliant job by Dave
11:21
and his crew and deep into the world to they always look at
11:25
those results heels. Yeah, you know you know you look
11:29
at the results of the Big 12 meet, it's clear.
11:31
The day said, I want you guys to pay attention to the Freakshow,
11:35
then it's going to be the Sprint while I quietly.
11:38
Stack Up points in places. Where nobody's paying attention.
11:41
Brilliant. Brilliant move on his car and
11:44
nonsense to Texas Tech pole in the mid side I mean like really
11:49
Okay. Literally like standing there,
11:53
the race starts and everybody you see everybody shoulders do
11:57
this. Hmm, and you just see the black
12:02
cross, the line. And I mean, you know, there was
12:06
a DQ and one raised they the hurdle race was crazy.
12:10
You know, Terrence did well in the 60 and you're just sitting
12:14
there like Sure Calvin. Great job dad's lock by just
12:20
just make it hurt a little bit left me.
12:25
Yeah, yeah, no, no it was because he was The Mastermind in
12:40
the oh they forgot that there's a 600-1000 in this meat, mmm.
12:46
So we're usually in a conference meet.
12:49
We got the 8-mile, the 3, the 5, and the DMR.
12:52
I got eight miles, 35 DMR, 600,000 hold my beer.
13:01
Right, right. Sprinkle in a couple of field
13:03
event points in there and Bob's your uncle.
13:05
Yeah, that's what I'm going to say is they had presence in the
13:07
field events and you know, that's where obviously that's
13:11
where I saw them. You're like one two three wait
13:14
what another three and then there was four in the high jump
13:18
and I'm like you know we've seen some that Queen to 600 and the
13:24
5K 85 points. So an on the ladies side there
13:31
is a young lady who ran almost every one of those races.
13:34
Wow. When the six but like she I
13:36
think she ran. Three or four of those races.
13:40
And they had a guy who did the same, you know, and that wasn't
13:45
in the building, but that was John McDonald - Mmm.
13:50
Yeah, Yeah, II as well. When I, when I first couple
13:54
years as head coach and we start to get it going and we win the
13:59
indoor meet and we go outdoors and Arkansas goes, 1, 2 3, 4 5,
14:08
78 in the 1500. Jolly Donald walked by me.
14:13
Girls had to take the speed out of the mouse.
14:38
About a 40 minute span where I was like.
14:41
Flabbergasted at the fact that in the same heat we Florida guys
14:46
were in under 46 seconds. Yep.
14:48
And then Deja Vu, 3, Baylor, guys did it too.
14:50
And I was like, where are we? What was he?
14:56
When this never happens and now it's just happening in our chat,
15:03
that's the Baylor. We remember, right?
15:05
Yes, that that, that's, that's your.
15:07
That's your Father's better. Absolutely.
15:11
Oh and he puts three guys under 46
15:23
seconds, in the same heat in Oklahoma wins.
15:26
The 4x4 You gotta love it. Like that's awesome.
15:32
Yeah. Was he speaking of Hawaii fours,
15:34
Alabama 301 by the Yeah? From this area from the slow
15:39
heat. Yeah.
15:40
Exactly. You know, and and I will be
15:43
remiss and so, I mean, I don't get in trouble.
15:46
Jasmine Wars. Pretty good.
15:48
Yeah. What Jasmine?
15:53
Jasmine? Very much looks like the Bauman
15:55
runner-up again. Please stop stop.
15:59
I mean, I will never stop. This is Jasmine.
16:03
More got my vote for Bowerman last year.
16:06
You can't even run. Can't be the runner-up if you're
16:09
not on the dais exactly. Hey, hey wait.
16:14
So when you were on the dais this year anyway, Jasmine was
16:17
phenomenal. And you know I'm not trying to
16:20
play Homer here but delete the digs.
16:22
Oh holy cow. So that's what I was just going
16:25
to say and just took the air out of the building Emily.
16:27
It. Yeah well, so and Lamar said in
16:31
our group chat but literally, because obviously I was at the
16:33
Bates off me and Rasheeda, I can't say her name.
16:37
I think it's Rashida Rashida and then you know she ran her race
16:42
and literally as we're going like she crosses the line,
16:44
everything booing and I and all these things and still blasting
16:47
all these times and I'm like, she see it running yet?
17:04
By the way, out to the world that this happened in succession
17:13
50-33. 50:17 Swizzle 50/50 with in less than 30 minutes.
17:23
I mean, that is it's unbelievable stuff that we are
17:27
pushing the envelope. Every single, we haven't gotten
17:31
to Nationals yet on a, on a faster track.
17:39
So here's what it, wasn't it out to do so, The key here is the
17:47
key here. Is that a?
17:53
Yes. Some from Arkansas girls and
18:18
obviously in actually some people from old, missed it with
18:21
the school with Amber when she was at LSU, they were yelling
18:25
ever, you gotta get out ever, you gotta get out of my head I'm
18:27
like please get out please. Is back that we neglected to
18:57
mention last week and minute, 30 second here is the shift move
19:04
that Michael Norman made. Are announced, let's call it
19:08
that way. You did announce it at this
19:09
point that'll be participating. I'll be nicer than that.
19:12
He's going to be competing in the 100.
19:15
Did you say participate? I did.
19:18
They can mean is that you will be a meme this week this week
19:26
this. Yep.
19:26
Guys. Get ready.
19:27
Oh, listen. Eating in the one, he doesn't
19:32
become a fugazi time travel. I am super duper duper duper
19:37
excited and rooting for this to go.
19:39
Well, but I am completely utterly prepared for it, not to
19:43
not because and not having to have anything to do with him,
19:46
but like, let's be clear like There are 97 dudes give he has
19:53
to beat. Yep.
19:54
Right. These are not figments of
19:56
people's imaginations. I mean, they're not and they're
20:01
not old. Yeah, I mean so I think the
20:04
thing you have to address here is, you know, potentially can
20:08
Michael be them all? I agree.
20:10
Okay. I'm not telling you that he
20:11
will, but I mean other than red, when you talk about overall
20:18
spread, Talents those two are A Cut Above the Rest of them.
20:21
Have you talked about the fact that they can run all three?
20:24
Yes, I don't think there's anybody, you know, anybody with
20:27
any serious track knowledge, it doesn't believe that if Michael
20:30
Norma shows up, he's healthy. Yeah, we got show pro-choice.
20:35
We got to show, you know, and I think, you know, might have been
20:38
Clyde, didn't mention it, who amongst us is like, you know,
20:41
it's kind of a brilliant move in the fact that he's doing it in a
20:43
year where he's got the by the 400.
20:45
So if he doesn't make it, hey guys, I'll see I'll see you in
20:48
Budapest, right? Just training.
20:51
Just a little drinking session. Well, I mean, could we say that
20:56
Fred has paved the way for this credit Fred has already shown
21:00
that? It can be done?
21:02
Yes. Oh man, I think so but if you go
21:03
back to when he won the Bowerman see people forget when he won
21:07
the Bowerman and John Anderson was interviewing me?
21:09
He said in his interview coach Carol said so I was talking to
21:13
coach Carol uncle's Quincy and we agreed that once I win a
21:17
world championship. Up, once I win a medal in the 4,
21:21
I can go down another one and yeah.
21:24
Okay. And that's okay.
21:27
Yep. Absolutely Ben.
21:30
And yeah, my quick two things on this issue is simple.
21:34
Fred doing it and making it work actually makes this more of a
21:41
ballsy decision by my Michael. Because now it has to work.
21:47
If it doesn't work, he will become a joke.
21:50
Well, it is a president. There's a precedent for it,
21:53
right? But it has to work, like he
21:56
can't. Make this move and it not go the
22:00
way it needs to go. So, I am here for it.
22:04
I absolutely think it will work and, you know, I'm here for the
22:10
show. I'm definitely here for the
22:12
show. I promise, that was an
22:14
accidental, split slip, of the wording, because I didn't
22:18
Michael Norman fan since she was in high school.
22:21
I recruited his best friend. I promise you.
22:24
I promise you. Look over q.
22:36
And I said, why are y'all? Why is everybody else recruiting
22:40
Michael? He looks at me.
22:41
He starts laughing. He's like, what do you mean?
22:43
I was like bro, there's no shot. He's not going SC.
22:48
He just looks like Q. You were you a just starts
22:55
laughing. I was like, it's some things
22:57
man. Like look, California kid that
22:59
wants to be, that wants to be a great quarter, mile Sprinter,
23:01
and that guy shows up at your house to recruit you, like it's
23:04
kind of hard to say, no. So it's true, right?
23:08
Like it's just kind of hard to say no to that, but that
23:10
particular event that particular kid, that particular person,
23:14
like, that's just kind of tough. Pause, hold that thought, next
23:19
topic speaking out sprinters best Sprint talents in US
23:26
history, top three. Mmm, we Talents.
23:32
Yes. I like this, best ever.
23:40
U.s. history. Don't we just go down this just
23:46
like look at Santa Monica and HSI. and I think also, like, My
24:02
brain, my brain is going to explode.
24:39
We can debate this topic for an hour, but that debate is going
24:44
to educate three-quarters of our audience.
24:47
Who doesn't know what we know like make, nobody's debating
24:51
that. It's a great question.
24:52
It's just just going to make people's Heart, Heads hurts.
24:55
So we just look just go Around in circles and just name a
25:03
person and then we'll just keep moving.
25:05
So I'm going to go ahead and cheat because I can't help
25:09
myself. Okay, okay, yep three names.
25:14
MJ Fred Curly Tyson Gay. All right now, learn go old
25:21
school, Errol Louis, c.k. And I'm going to say this guy
25:26
cuz I coach them. Dennis Mitchell.
25:30
And then I'm gonna Circle back to a guy that I don't think it's
25:34
no credit. We were real whew.
25:39
Okay I'm going to ask the re-ask the question because I got
25:43
computer problems more than fine.
25:45
Best Sprint talents in US history.
25:48
Top three talents. I'm jumping out front.
25:56
No order Carl Lewis Quincy W Ariane night.
26:01
Wow! U.s.
26:05

26:06
See, mmm. Alright Seekers, It's because
26:12

26:22
Silence D. Yeah, and it's specific to
26:30
Sprint's you say yes. Yes.
26:34
And specific to the US. Shit, I'm gonna have to get
26:42
Glide customers and then and then I'm going to say area 19
26:50
and Michael Norman. Okay, yeah, and I want to say
26:54
for the record all of us will agree with this name but none of
26:57
us said it. Oh be more.
27:00
Holy It's the only thing that hurts /.
27:03
He deleted in dip down into the one, you know, but right.
27:06
But he didn't you read from the to today.
27:08
Pretty daggone nice. So yeah, look at one point.
27:11
I'm that dude had the school records of job.
27:13
John Muir from the hundred to the mile.
27:16
So pause everybody gets a plus one.
27:25
Okay, so, you know, so, you know, get, I'm gonna go home run
27:28
this one because I cheat, because I coach to God.
27:30
John Capel, don't compel Taco Bell.
27:33
Because, trust me, it's definitely a few seconds, but he
27:38
wasn't going to, but he did, it's definitely, he's definitely
27:43
on my short list. So, you understand why, why?
27:46
I cheated? Why I said I cheated, right?
27:48
Yeah, yeah. So I looked up the top.
27:51
Top three u.s. 100 200 400 combos.
27:55
Yeah. Yeah.
27:58
Okay. So but but that's why I have
28:04
this is the thing that we all tend to forget about.
28:08
Because of what that man did for a very short period of time.
28:14
Who is it Xavier Carter? Oh, okay.
28:44
Well now again I got computer problems which I have now fixed.
28:49
Hopefully you can see me clearly.

Yeah, I did not hear in the re-ask.
28:55
All I heard was American Sprint specific Talent.
29:00
That's what I heard. Yes.
29:02
Okay. So if I'm adding a plus one, I'm
29:05
gonna step out and say that all of us decided to hear that
29:08
question with another additive in there that was never said,
29:12
and I'm going to say Allyson Felix.
29:14
Because I don't know we've been doing over the next year.

She's been 14 and 15. This is going to trust me now
31:47
because somebody watching this show with going to get on B4,
31:51
not correcting, you. So I'm going to get well.
31:55
So give me a hug. If we're sticking to one at a
31:58
time protocol, I'm growing Gwen Torrance in that.
32:01
So, when Torrance is number four on that list.
32:04
Yes, breathe. And just this is, you said like
32:09
a flowery Brisco is right behind.
32:12
Okay, so I'm going to, he's got to be there somewhere, doesn't
32:15
she? She's broke.
32:17
She's actually pretty down there.
32:20
I'm gonna say this person. I don't know.
32:24
This person's 400 PB, but I do know that this This person ran
32:27
2008 in at 800 there. Anybody know he's a very short
32:34
Sprinter. Mmm Nails about this long.
32:40
What Gail Devers LDL Devers? Wow.
32:46
Gil was a 300 Hardware in high school, unbelievable like a
32:50
low-rent 2008 in a meat. But listen, if you, if we're not
32:55
trying to make this complicated, let's not extrapolate it out to
32:57
the 8th and I don't know what I'm saying.
33:00
My point is, I don't know what she's running in the for, but
33:03
I'm going to assume that it would be good because she ran,
33:06
2008 for sure. Obviously Sydney belongs on this
33:11
list somewhere. I don't care if she's running
33:12
100 or not, she Did anyone ever run a quarter?
33:42
50 108? Yeah, I mean you just see hits
33:45
he ever. See, everybody thinks this whole
33:47
real running. The one to enforce a new thing.
33:49
You know, back in the printer. That is me.
33:55
You anything from the one today, right?
33:57
That's just, that's what it meant.
35:03
You know, we we we very rarely see these days somebody that's
35:08
runs the one of the 100 wonderful eye for you.
35:12
Very rarely see that you know and and again I'm going to give
35:15
a real shout out for this one Julian out for to real people.
35:20
Oh and she's one of those that will she's 1697.
35:25
I know she's slick 5200 tissue. Let me send you one eye.
35:28
Yeah so yeah she's Chi is the real deal.
35:33
So welcome to the Bowerman committee being confused.
35:35
Yet again this year. This one's this one's going to
35:41
be wild. Just get the dais right Eddie.
35:44
And here again, you're not making it easy for me because
35:48
you got two Gators again. Hey, I'm not, I'm just doing my
35:52
job. I have one on the record now
35:55
publicly saying this. I do not care, I'm not in the
36:00
day, they will never upset me again because the Bowerman, it's
36:03
nice, I'm glad it's, you know, but I'm not going to let the
36:07
opinions of whatever this committee is right or wrong
36:11
cause confusion in my life. Again, you know, because I, it
36:15
really was bad for a couple of my athletes last year, they're
36:18
really close to, so not to let that happen again.
36:22
That's why you're the leader. Thank you, Dad fly.
36:27
So last question, you know, we're speaking of these stiffer
36:33
engendered speed sprinters, is it problematic that the new NCW
36:38
single-gender schedule has all but eliminated.
36:42
The natural Sprinter Sprint, double, I'm sorry while still
36:46
allowing for the mile 3 K 5K Attack.
36:50
Let's call it. Are you calculate this this is
36:54
specific to 24 double because you can still double 60.
36:59
Yeah, you can double 62 but you can't double 64 or, or 24?
37:04
Yeah, it's calculated is what it is, 100%.
37:13
I'll go first. I I have a problem with people
37:19
peeing on my head and trying to tell me it's raining.
37:24
The regular track meet that you can see at a regular meat or at
37:30
a conference meet should be able to be duplicated at the national
37:34
meet. If you can run a for to double
37:39
at the Ed and SEC meat or Big 12 meat or or any level of
37:44
conference meet, You should never put together a time
37:48
schedule. That doesn't allow that to
37:50
happen at the national meet. Because if someone runs 2029 and
37:58
45 dead, I want to see that at the national meet.
38:02
If somebody runs 22 in the middle and 50, 50, 50, freakin
38:06
point one, I want to see that at the national meat and no offense
38:10
to whoever was 17th. They don't deserve to be at the
38:14
national meet just because of the time schedule. so, my issue
38:19
is If distance coaches are not having to make choices.
38:30
Between obvious doubles, right? Like it's art look if you're the
38:35
best, athletes are the only ones were talking about?
38:37
Because it in order to W have to be phenomenal.
38:40
But if I got a, if I got somebody that can run the 15 in
38:43
the three or the 15 and the 5, and I don't have to make a
38:47
choice. I'm gonna put him in both.
38:51
But if you, if you have an athlete who clearly can be
38:55
highly successful in the for to double and it's now made
39:01
Impossible by time schedule. I can't be the only person that
39:05
thinks that that's wrong. I think the the single-gender
39:16
meat. Is the culprit obviously, but
39:22
more than anything else. I think we are still being held
39:28
hostage and I mean that could use better terms.
39:31
But what is it? That we're going to see on TV,
39:38
we're going to see the mile. We are going to see the 3K.
39:43
We are going to see the 5K. Right?
39:48
And I think there's still a general mindset that this is
39:53
what the public want to see. And I think as long as that's
39:57
the case, they will continue to push the narrative.
40:00
That hey, this is what we have going on.
40:03
This athlete is doing this this athletes doing that.
40:06
I mean, I cannot wait to see the coverage of the mile.
40:12
I can't wait, you know, because we're going to see what six
40:17
Washington athletes, but you can wait, because it's going to be
40:21
very boring. Okay, we can't.
40:50
That's right. Yeah, it's on that in to be fair
40:53
like week. I don't, I don't think we should
40:55
take away from the fact that whether it's Washington or
40:58
somebody else has done a great job in the distances that they
41:01
shouldn't be talked about because they're should.
41:04
But at the end of the day, like it's not fair.
41:08
And I think the governor is right.
41:10
It's the the split gender meat has caused a lot of this.
41:14
Yeah, I might also think the be utter disrespect of the 200
41:19
self-exam just because trust me, if they could, they would get
41:23
rid of the 200, trust me. They were you know it's just
41:27
nobody's gonna allow that to happen so and I think that it is
41:32
wrong with it and I think that if you're going to have this
41:34
little ginger me, can you find a way to allow that?
41:37
Double, absolutely. Yeah, I mean there's all kind of
41:41
there's all kinds of ways if you move the phone to me, And you
41:46
still get going problem. You have now for some people is,
41:50
is that going to give less time for those other mile. 5, K, 3K
41:55
D, Mr. I mean, you know mild them are doubles that we talked
41:58
about. So well if there is there is
42:01
there is a movement to put the put this back into a situation
42:06
where you could do the for to double it.
42:09
Yeah. I mean all you have to do is
42:11
look at the schedule and you can see clear as day that could very
42:13
easily be done. There's no.
42:16
That the Mi has to open the meat.
42:18
There's no reason that the hurdles have to be dead center.
42:21
Yeah why are the hurdles dead in the middle?
42:24
What I mean there's so many ways to move this around that would
42:29
allow for that double you know I mean yes am I wrong?
42:34
You can 60 hurdle 60 W but there's nothing natural about
42:37
that though. That's no.
42:39
I mean no no one could resist. Resources speaks 33.
42:43
Circus freaks a year they could do that.
42:45
Yes. Yeah.
42:48
I mean just look at the schedule.
42:49
Make the 400 the first event instead of the mile.
42:51
Aren't we good? I mean yes.
42:55
Yes. How hard was that?
42:57
Yes I'm not even looking at the schedule, right?
43:00
As you want to be weird stuff, it right.
43:02
If you want to be weird and open the meet with the mile, you
43:04
could just be weird and open it with the 400.
43:06
Like It's Hot. I mean,
43:34
there's no chance that I would behave myself.
43:37
However, Now you know I was able to I was I was able to
43:43
respectfully negotiate is the word.
43:48
I will use my way into a smarter approach to the Mountain West
43:55
schedule, right timing and rules.
43:59
I'm sure I could pull it off, doesn't mean I'm going to hey
44:02
but you know, maybe I'll get bored.
44:06
Get me up there you know for me. Me it's this is I can always
44:11
work it backwards, right? I just want you to imagine that
44:15
we put together a schedule with a 15-3 k or the 15 5K double
44:20
wasn't possible. Let's put those two events back
44:22
to back. Wow.
44:25
But you do understand, we have this same issue Outdoors, right?
44:28
Yes, you do, Yes. Actually miss you.
44:30
Yes. And it's exactly it on purpose
44:35
and I don't absolutely there. That's why I just have so much
44:39
approach. Much of a problem with it is,
44:41
because because, again, if you did the time schedule, in
44:45
Reverse, right, if you move the balance of power via schedule,
44:49
to this Prince, you gave a little bit more rest and then
44:53
you put the mile on the 3K. Go to Milan, the 5K
44:56
back-to-back, you would get laughed out of a room.
44:59
Yeah. It's true.
45:03
Look let's let's, let's all just be understanding of the fact
45:06
that we know the driving forces behind track and field.
45:12
And there's a plethora of distance folks out there that
45:15
sit on these committees, it sit in these rooms.
45:17
And I mean, here's the fact that during the pandemic, we had to
45:21
cross country championships in the same academic it.
45:24
Yep. Yep.
45:31
Not, no, I'm not. No disrespect anybody that this
45:33
thing. Nobody was, yes.
45:40
The second one, But but that but to that point, right?
45:45
And we can complain and we shall and we will but for all the
45:51
others out there that are also complaining like that's it's the
45:54
nature of everything else, right?
45:55
It's politics. So if it's a big deal to you and
45:58
you don't like these things, get on the committee's, it's not
46:02
like you can't get on makes make change from the inside because
46:06
it's going to keep going. So she is going to love me for
46:11
saying this. You really want to get something
46:14
done. Carol Smith Gilbert is the new
46:17
president. She'd love to talk to you about
46:20
it. This is true.
46:23
Okay, I don't know if the second half of that is true, but that,
46:26
but the first pet, the first part that is true.
46:30
Because any of us, do not really know as we lovingly call her
46:33
Carol Gilbert way. She would love to be able to,
46:37
you know, she's a Sprint person and she loved to be able to
46:40
create the fact that you can run all three trench coat.
46:42
Out of their creator problem. So yeah, bring her up.
46:59
Oh man. Oh okay.
47:15
I feel like it should automatically land on lucious so
47:18
I almost did it. I almost did but I expected it
47:22
to be. No, I'm making you come back.
47:24
That's why. Okay, I got a plan.
47:31
Listen Fielding calls and text messages about you.
47:39
Is he okay? Is there something going on?
47:42
It There a rift between you two. What did you do?
47:44
This is, this is my favorite Jimmy.
47:46
What did you do? Oh, I thought I thought it would
47:50
be blamed on me. We are too.
48:24
Very funny that the word weirdest come up three different
48:27
times in this conversation in the last for us hour, and 40
48:30
minutes because there is a comment to me today, that there
48:35
is a certain part of the world that the word weirdo.
48:40
The adjective weirdo is actually really offensive and to me to me
48:46
and maybe it's my age, but definitely like my americanism,
48:51
I was like that's stupid word. Like it's just silly, but
48:56
there's cultures who think? That's very offensive.
48:58
And I just think it's so funny and that's a third time.
49:00
It's been used and well, since you're wasting our clock on
49:04
this, where are these posers? We're ahead of time.
49:07
That's why I could do this. Where are these cultures?
49:10
You across the pond. Oh, really?
49:14
Yeah. Hmm.
49:16
Has a my lovely. My newfound friend, mr.
49:20
GB, when we told him, we said, yeah, they were, they called him
49:25
a weird. They called them.
49:26
I'm not getting any pronouns. They called them a weirdo and he
49:29
was like, Waik. That's like wow that's a real
49:34
thing like you. So, we're mean, it's not a
49:38
compliment, I mean, I know, but I don't know.
49:42
Anyways, anyhow, because here in Texas, it is.
49:45
I mean, the Austin city, low, motto is keep Texas, Keep
49:49
Austin, Weird, Keep Austin Weird.
49:51
Yes, sir, it's Texas. Okay.
49:57
Anyways, You ready, sir? I'm ready.
50:02
All right. Would you rather eat a Caesar
50:04
salad or a house salad house? Okay.
50:08
What's the dressing honey mustard?
50:10
Got it. Okay.
50:12
Would you rather have a letterman jacket or a ring?
50:16
A ring, a class ring thought it. Would you rather?
50:25
Would you rule the hammer? I'm actually a closet.
50:34
Feel like in terms, I'm a closet thrower, it's what I am.
50:39
If anyone watches my like body language am meat or something.
50:44
And I happened to glance over. I'm literally throwing the jab
50:48
Lenore the disc in my mind. Like, I'm, I do that.
50:54
Somebody help him. All right.
51:00
Would you rather be the big Clapper at the meat or the big
51:04
yellow at the knee? Well I will go on record as
51:08
saying is, you know, having watched the greats, you know,
51:13
use clap as their tool to give great performances.
51:20
I mean, one of my biggest achievements on the circuit.
51:23
I actually stopped the 100 meters in Linz Austria.
51:27
That year, the the meat where I jumped 865 363, the 100 is about
51:33
to go off, and I got the back, the folks on the backstretch
51:37
clapping and eventually the entire Stadium just started and
51:41
I was like, I can I can die right now.
51:44
I'm good. I did that.
51:47
You know. So yes.
51:48
It's all about clapping thought it would you rather congratulate
51:52
your athlete with a dab or a high five?
52:02
Those are my questions. All right.
52:05
Gentleman. Okay, so the be because I spent
52:14
some time around you at the track and I do know that you do
52:18
have a tendency to wander to the other field events.
52:21
We visit with the long triple jump.
52:25
Okay, which of them? Would you rather coach?
52:28
Would you rather coach the hammer or the Jackal?
52:36
I would have a whole lot more. More fun coach in the Jazz
52:40
because of everything that it entails and I would probably
52:47
want to incorporate a little bit more of the Sprint side of
52:50
things. I would love to see how how that
52:53
would work, you know, because, you know, obviously there's
52:58
still an element of control and all of that but boy, I would
53:04
have a lot of fun with With some really some good, good talent.
53:09
I'd love to see it. Next questions for the governor.
53:23
Would you rather? Stay at the DoubleTree for
53:31
Albuquerque or the Clyde. That's the wrong choice but to
53:46
say you are going to miss out on the cookies.
54:01
Okay, sir. What have you robbed from the
54:07
public? More.
54:11
The governor as a triple jumper. Or the governor as a high
54:17
jumper. Whoo, 100% I have robbed the
54:24
world of a possible world class. Triple jump.
54:28
Yes, I will. I will, that is, you know, I
54:32
let, I tend to let the stress kind of roll off of me or
54:35
whatever, but every now and then, I'm like, man, what, what
54:38
could I have done in that event? Now, for the record, what is
54:43
your triple jump pb0? I mean, Here's my issue.
54:48
And I know this for a fact, if I had done the triple in college,
54:53
I would have had to have hopped off my right foot.
54:56
There's no way that I could have hopped off my left, because my
55:01
left foot did one thing. And one thing only, and that was
55:05
go to the moon. So I jumped about 47 feet and in
55:11
college, but in high school, but it was like a 15 foot hop.
55:16
Like eight foot step and then another 20 put it was like
55:21
something crazy. That was my trip, you know?
55:28
So it was his ultimate for the Jazz.
55:42
You know what we would have had to happen.
55:44
You would have had to go from from my man, Arkansas's
55:46
approach. Yeah, they would have gave.
55:48
That would give cremate steps. Yes.
55:51
After we 10 years, have progressed out to 10.
55:54
This is all you get. Make it work.
55:57
Oh man, that was fun. Well, good job.
55:59
Good job, everyone. So rounding out the show with
56:02
heartbeat props, as always, letting everyone know that we
56:05
appreciate them while they're here to observe their words fall
56:08
in their ears, and Clyde is raising his hand to go first.
56:11
So by all means, sir, I want to go first because I'm, I'm going
56:15
to be like super Homer, Harvey props, go out to one the
56:23
Mountain West Conference, which if If you pay attention to it
56:28
and a lot of people don't is in the middle of a very good
56:32
transition. If not, there is a
56:34
transformation, it's always been known as a distance power but we
56:39
have Elite athletes now across the board.
56:41
And, you know, I think that's because of a lot of changes that
56:45
have gone on and and I appreciate the growth.
56:48
But to that point, my heartbeat props are all about my crew,
56:54
this past weekend, I know we're on a truncated timetable, so I
56:59
will go as fast as I can. The San Jose State athletes 17
57:06
championships. Most of which were done by
57:09
freshman, we set 31 personal best and nine, San Jose State
57:18
School records and the women's program is relatively new in
57:22
history. So when you break a program
57:25
record, are it means a lot, but we took a record away from the
57:30
legend. That is Tommy Smith this
57:32
weekend. Christopher coats freshman ran
57:35
46:27. Indoors this year, just barely
57:41
eclipsing that record. And I could not be, you know,
57:46
more excited about the work that I'm able to do with these young
57:51
people in conjunction with Ernie Clark and the time and
57:54
dedication that they've put in but Damaris Waters, freshman,
57:58
772 School record, Mountain West Conference record, meet record
58:03
in the hurdles, barely missed Nationals, Roman Johnson, In the
58:08
60 cam Tarver freshman. 2087 Alyssa.
58:15
And the biggest one, sorry to t.j.
58:19
Harris. The coach and Amelia song,
58:21
strong our sophomore, long and triple jumper who jumped 646 in
58:27
the long jump and 1373 in the triple and is going to Nationals
58:32
and both events. We were on fire this weekend and
58:36
I couldn't be prouder of the crew.
58:37
True. And when you're doing these
58:40
things and breaking those specific records, I for the
58:43
first time will respectfully refer to them as speed City.
58:47
So thank you guys, and I appreciate you.
58:53
Congrats. I like it'll last you guys
58:59
online, okay, absolutely, I don't really have anybody in
59:05
particular, but, you know, again, I just want to give
59:12
heartbeat props to the athletes that show up on conference
59:19
weekend. You know, when we're going
59:23
through the recruiting process we're telling them.
59:25
Hey, twice a week, twice a year twice a year.
59:29
I need you to go to the well, I need you two to go above and
59:34
beyond for your team and I mean what was on display this weekend
59:39
was absolutely phenomenal. And, you know, it's you Ask
59:45
yourself when does this. When do we get to a Breaking
59:48
Point? When do these things?
59:50
When the these results start coming down and from what I'm
59:55

1:02:23
rendition of that group. Now, at that point, it is the
1:02:26
Collegiate group. The decks like to be choose crew
1:02:30
sometimes too. But, uh, this specifically to
1:02:33
the Collegiate group, because we stole some points from some
1:02:36
people who didn't think that, we could still some point and it
1:02:39
really meant a lot and I for the first time and I think a really
1:02:44
long time we ended, I ended my group and it's going A point and
1:02:50
I didn't know it. And I was told and shown the
1:02:53
results and I literally did a felt.
1:02:56
Let's call it a 20-meter lap, 20 meter of loud, bang in the pole,
1:03:01
vault box because I'd come back and Coach.
1:03:05
I took a quick one, but they all just did big things and, you
1:03:09
know, we had a little bit of disappointment, but it's a okay
1:03:12
because it's part of it and we can keep going from there and
1:03:15
