Sprint: Racing to the 2024 Paris Olympics

[00:00:17] [SPEAKER_01]: What's up fam and welcome back to Recap Kickback. I'm your host Chappelle and this time we are talking more about the 2024 Paris Olympics, but specifically track and field. That's right. I watched the docu-series Sprint on Netflix and I have a lot of things to say about it, but I couldn't do it alone. I had to bring in somebody who I consider a track expert. It's my boy, the DJ, Mighty Mouse. Mighty Mouse, what's good man?

[00:00:43] [SPEAKER_00]: What's up y'all man? What's up man? DJ Mighty Mouse, you know what I'm saying? Retired, but PB legend.

[00:00:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Retired? Yeah, yeah. Retired, but also still DJ Mighty Mouse as far as I'm concerned. Man, how have you been dog?

[00:00:54] [SPEAKER_00]: I've been good man. You know, life been lifing, but I'm here dog, you know what I'm saying?

[00:00:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah. So for the listeners, Mighty Mouse and I have known each other for a very long time. We talk a lot of stuff to each other. We talk a lot of trash, but we mostly come together to talk about track and field.

[00:01:11] [SPEAKER_01]: So I thought it'd be a cool idea if Mighty Mouse went and watched the hit Netflix docu-series Sprint that is about the 2023 World Championship, the road to the 2023 track and field World Championships, and some of the standouts that we will also be talking about in the 2024 Paris Olympics.

[00:01:29] [SPEAKER_01]: So before we get into that, I want to thank everybody for listening. Thank everybody for subscribing. If you haven't already subscribed, what are you doing? What are you waiting for? RecapKickback.com slash subscribe.

[00:01:44] [SPEAKER_01]: We've recently talked about Simone Biles, and if you're listening to this in real time, you know that she's still the GOAT, y'all. She did it again. So check that out with me and LaTanya.

[00:01:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Also, we got weekly House of the Dragon coverage coming every week. This week will be the finale of that, so make sure you check that out.

[00:02:00] [SPEAKER_01]: And then subscribe and keep up with all the rest of the stuff we have coming your way. That said, we have to get into Sprint.

[00:02:06] [SPEAKER_01]: So Netflix apparently has just takes its time to really highlight and do docu-series about different various different sports.

[00:02:14] [SPEAKER_01]: We've seen basketball done. We've seen football done a number of different times, receiver, quarterback.

[00:02:19] [SPEAKER_01]: We've seen the Simone Biles docu-series, but I was very surprised to see a track docu-series.

[00:02:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Mighty Mouse, have you ever seen anything like this before?

[00:02:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Nah, bro. I mean, you know, growing up, you always got like the highlights and stuff.

[00:02:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Like every now and again, you probably get like an NBC highlight like Michael Johnson.

[00:02:37] [SPEAKER_00]: The 96 Olympics was like real big because of like Michael Johnson and stuff.

[00:02:40] [SPEAKER_00]: So a documentary, and if it wasn't about like civil rights like Jesse Owens and whatnot, nah.

[00:02:48] [SPEAKER_00]: I was excited. I was excited, dog.

[00:02:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you gonna catch up?

[00:02:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Nah, I got hype about this one, man.

[00:02:54] [SPEAKER_01]: And so Mighty Mouse, this is the first time I'd ever seen anything like this as far as track goes.

[00:02:59] [SPEAKER_01]: I feel like track stars, they, and we'll hear some of them kind of talk about it in this docu-series,

[00:03:05] [SPEAKER_01]: but I feel like they don't really get highlighted like a lot of the other major athletes.

[00:03:09] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, like there's probably not a human in the world who doesn't know LeBron James.

[00:03:13] [SPEAKER_01]: But, you know, we have some amazing athletes in track and field who I could never see getting that kind of shine

[00:03:19] [SPEAKER_01]: unless Netflix does something like this.

[00:03:21] [SPEAKER_01]: So I really enjoyed watching it.

[00:03:22] [SPEAKER_01]: What was your experience watching it like?

[00:03:26] [SPEAKER_00]: It shined a lot of light on like things that I think people don't really get when like people talk about track.

[00:03:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Because I mean, again, like growing up, like you're from the hood, you fast, you're around the streets and whatnot.

[00:03:36] [SPEAKER_00]: It's cool.

[00:03:37] [SPEAKER_00]: But then you get on the track and it's like, oh, it's just a bunch of dudes running in circles.

[00:03:41] [SPEAKER_00]: And it's like, nah, it's a whole, like the dog pound down here, man.

[00:03:46] [SPEAKER_00]: It's war down here.

[00:03:47] [SPEAKER_00]: You feel me?

[00:03:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Like it was cool seeing like what it was like on their day-to-day lives and like beef between track stars.

[00:03:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Because track is like so like, you're supposed to be so like, I don't know, like put together.

[00:04:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Like you're not supposed to really be like talking smack and all of this.

[00:04:05] [SPEAKER_00]: And it's like, now the motherfucker's beefing.

[00:04:08] [SPEAKER_00]: I like that.

[00:04:09] [SPEAKER_00]: I like that.

[00:04:10] [SPEAKER_00]: And I love Noah.

[00:04:12] [SPEAKER_00]: That's my boy.

[00:04:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Noah be talking that trash.

[00:04:15] [SPEAKER_00]: But can you beat him?

[00:04:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:04:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:04:18] [SPEAKER_01]: We got a lot to talk about when it comes to Noah Lyles for sure.

[00:04:21] [SPEAKER_01]: One of the standouts of this docuseries.

[00:04:23] [SPEAKER_01]: But before we get into that, Mighty Mouse, tell us, what is your track background?

[00:04:26] [SPEAKER_01]: What brought you?

[00:04:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Why did I reach out to you specifically?

[00:04:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Aside the fact that I know you like a little trash talk.

[00:04:31] [SPEAKER_01]: How did I reach out to you about this?

[00:04:33] [SPEAKER_01]: What makes you so important?

[00:04:35] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I gotta say this.

[00:04:37] [SPEAKER_00]: So like, I ran track in high school and whatnot.

[00:04:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, middle school, got to high school, ran.

[00:04:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Wanted to do it in college.

[00:04:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Didn't really work out or whatever.

[00:04:47] [SPEAKER_00]: But I just remember what it was like being a kid and seeing Michael Johnson put on some gold spikes.

[00:04:53] [SPEAKER_00]: And run that 200, dog.

[00:04:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, it was something about that moment.

[00:04:57] [SPEAKER_00]: It was so magical.

[00:04:58] [SPEAKER_00]: And from there, it was like, I started watching, bro.

[00:05:01] [SPEAKER_00]: And like, I've kept up through the years.

[00:05:03] [SPEAKER_00]: It's like, pretty, pretty current.

[00:05:06] [SPEAKER_00]: I would say I'm pretty current, man.

[00:05:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Now, I say expert, you know.

[00:05:10] [SPEAKER_00]: But I know what I'll be talking about, though.

[00:05:13] [SPEAKER_00]: You feel me?

[00:05:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:05:14] [SPEAKER_00]: No, definitely.

[00:05:15] [SPEAKER_00]: And I could learn something.

[00:05:16] [SPEAKER_00]: So if I get told something I ain't never heard, I'm like, cool.

[00:05:19] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, but I can at least stand in the ring.

[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_01]: You feel me?

[00:05:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.

[00:05:23] [SPEAKER_01]: No, definitely.

[00:05:24] [SPEAKER_01]: I knew I had to reach out to you because I was like, okay.

[00:05:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Anybody I like talking about track and field with is definitely you.

[00:05:29] [SPEAKER_01]: And I know, again, I know you're pretty knowledgeable as well.

[00:05:31] [SPEAKER_01]: So this is going to be a good time.

[00:05:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, we need to talk about the 2024 Olympics.

[00:05:35] [SPEAKER_01]: But let's talk about Sprint first.

[00:05:37] [SPEAKER_01]: It actually came from the same producers as the people who did Full Swing, which is the docu-series about golf.

[00:05:44] [SPEAKER_01]: They did Formula One, Drive to Survive, which I think Rob and I covered on the Nothing But Netflix podcast.

[00:05:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Breakpoint, which I think is about tennis.

[00:05:51] [SPEAKER_01]: But now they bring us Sprint, colon, the world's fastest humans.

[00:05:55] [SPEAKER_01]: And so that's what we're looking for.

[00:05:57] [SPEAKER_01]: This is the journey to the 2024 Paris Olympics, but it's last year.

[00:06:01] [SPEAKER_01]: So this is the 2023 World Championship that we were working our way up to.

[00:06:04] [SPEAKER_01]: And we're following some of the biggest names in track and field, including Noah Lyles, Sha'Carri Richardson, and several other people who we'll get to as well.

[00:06:13] [SPEAKER_01]: But let's start with who I would consider, who was probably the star of this entire docu-series, who I know you're dying to talk about, Noah Lyles.

[00:06:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Noah Lyles is currently in the Olympic Games right now trying to prove all his haters wrong, trying to shut up all the people that he got in his ear.

[00:06:31] [SPEAKER_01]: But in this series, Noah Lyles is really presenting, you know, his full self.

[00:06:36] [SPEAKER_01]: We're seeing, you know, a lot of his backstory.

[00:06:38] [SPEAKER_01]: We see his interaction with his mom.

[00:06:40] [SPEAKER_01]: But then we're seeing the Noah Lyles that you and I both know, which is the dog on the track.

[00:06:44] [SPEAKER_01]: What did you think about this side of Noah?

[00:06:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, what'd you think about it?

[00:06:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, you go back watching him, you could tell he always had the confidence.

[00:06:55] [SPEAKER_00]: And then, of course, like, he started like, when was it?

[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_00]: It was his first World Championship he won.

[00:07:00] [SPEAKER_00]: He sprayed his hair to be like Ultra Instinct for, you know, the GOAT.

[00:07:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, exactly.

[00:07:07] [SPEAKER_00]: It was just like, OK, cool.

[00:07:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, he putting on for the nerds, dog, cool.

[00:07:11] [SPEAKER_00]: But then, like, in this doc, I'm like, no, buddy, buddy kind of cocky.

[00:07:16] [SPEAKER_00]: But, like, he liked that, though.

[00:07:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:07:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Boy, I think he's only lost 1-200 so far in his career.

[00:07:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, it's pretty impressive, dog.

[00:07:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, I ain't seen the likes of him probably since Usain Bolt, bro.

[00:07:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Cool, for real.

[00:07:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, for real.

[00:07:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, speaking of Usain Bolt, I mean, we will see Usain Bolt throughout this docuseries.

[00:07:43] [SPEAKER_01]: We'll see a number of track legends.

[00:07:45] [SPEAKER_01]: You've mentioned Michael Johnson.

[00:07:46] [SPEAKER_01]: We'll see a lot of the GOATs, a lot of the ones that I know you and I have grown up watching.

[00:07:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Even some of the recent ones.

[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Allison Felix is in this one, too.

[00:07:54] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, I'm very excited to see some of my faves.

[00:07:58] [SPEAKER_01]: But Noah's interesting because you're right.

[00:08:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Michael Johnson, Usain Bolt, these are the people that Noah's chasing.

[00:08:04] [SPEAKER_01]: He's trying to get these world records.

[00:08:05] [SPEAKER_01]: He's trying to get these goals.

[00:08:07] [SPEAKER_01]: He's trying to double 100 and 200.

[00:08:11] [SPEAKER_01]: But Noah also gives us his backstory.

[00:08:13] [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't know this.

[00:08:14] [SPEAKER_01]: He struggled with asthma.

[00:08:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Were you surprised to find out about that?

[00:08:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Man, not the way that boy be running that tune, y'all.

[00:08:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Hey, because, hey, from things I was talking about, one of my coaches, like, he was, like, back in the day, like, holding your breath coming up out of there and, like, holding that shit in as you come out and get your breathing pattern down.

[00:08:35] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, bro, that's a long way.

[00:08:37] [SPEAKER_00]: You running full speed?

[00:08:40] [SPEAKER_00]: 200?

[00:08:42] [SPEAKER_01]: That's crazy, bro.

[00:08:43] [SPEAKER_01]: It's crazy.

[00:08:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:08:45] [SPEAKER_01]: So imagine doing that after the doctors have told you, like, they did Noah, that, you know, you probably can't even play sports.

[00:08:51] [SPEAKER_01]: His asthma was so bad.

[00:08:52] [SPEAKER_01]: His mom tells us they would just sit up at night and she would have to, like, just hold him because he would have so many attacks.

[00:08:58] [SPEAKER_01]: So he went from that to being in contention to be the world's fastest man.

[00:09:04] [SPEAKER_01]: But he will have a lot of competitors that we will have to talk about that could potentially stand in his way.

[00:09:12] [SPEAKER_01]: I know you're ready to talk about this one competitor.

[00:09:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Man.

[00:09:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:09:17] [SPEAKER_01]: We got to talk about it.

[00:09:18] [SPEAKER_01]: So the series will outline Noah, obviously, but then we'll talk about his other competitors because Noah's trying to double.

[00:09:24] [SPEAKER_01]: He's trying to do the 200 and the 100.

[00:09:26] [SPEAKER_01]: So he has double the events and double the haters, double the people who are coming for his spot.

[00:09:31] [SPEAKER_01]: And one of those people is Lamont Marcel Jacobs from Italy.

[00:09:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Before you watch this, were you very familiar with Lamont Marcel Jacobs?

[00:09:40] [SPEAKER_01]: I ain't never heard of buddy.

[00:09:43] [SPEAKER_00]: You don't know this man.

[00:09:44] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to keep it real.

[00:09:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, truly the only sprinter I can say that, like, really had, like, caught my attention out of, like, the Europe area probably was Christopher Lamont.

[00:10:00] [SPEAKER_00]: I think he's French.

[00:10:01] [SPEAKER_00]: He was a 200-meter runner.

[00:10:03] [SPEAKER_00]: I was always rooting for him.

[00:10:04] [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:10:05] [SPEAKER_00]: White boy had wills.

[00:10:06] [SPEAKER_00]: He used to keep up with us.

[00:10:07] [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:10:08] [SPEAKER_00]: He was cool.

[00:10:09] [SPEAKER_00]: But Marcel, I saw that, like, okay, he made it to this round.

[00:10:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, he made it to the next round of Olympics.

[00:10:13] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, okay, who this dude?

[00:10:15] [SPEAKER_00]: So I guess he's fast.

[00:10:18] [SPEAKER_00]: But before that, never heard of dude, dog.

[00:10:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:10:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Never heard of him.

[00:10:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Nope.

[00:10:24] [SPEAKER_01]: So a little backstory about Marcel Jacobs is that he actually, his mom is Italian, but his dad is African American.

[00:10:33] [SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, very early on, I was watching this and I was like, is everybody in this docuseries black?

[00:10:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Because, I mean, he Italian, but I'll accept it.

[00:10:41] [SPEAKER_01]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:10:42] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, I got a room for him.

[00:10:44] [SPEAKER_01]: We know why.

[00:10:46] [SPEAKER_01]: We know why.

[00:10:47] [SPEAKER_01]: So he also, which you might not know, he also was born in the great state of Texas.

[00:10:53] [SPEAKER_01]: He's born in El Paso.

[00:10:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:10:56] [SPEAKER_01]: I believe his dad was an army soldier in the United States.

[00:11:01] [SPEAKER_01]: And so he's actually born at Fort Bliss in El Paso and eventually ended up moving around.

[00:11:05] [SPEAKER_01]: And so, yeah, here he is running for the Italians.

[00:11:10] [SPEAKER_01]: And at the point where we find him in this series, not only is he running, but he is fresh off of one of the biggest wins, one of the biggest shockers.

[00:11:20] [SPEAKER_01]: So I don't think anybody had seen, saw him coming.

[00:11:23] [SPEAKER_01]: But Marcel Jacobs goes into this docuseries as the fastest man in the world.

[00:11:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Were you surprised by that?

[00:11:31] [SPEAKER_00]: It was Zarnel Hughes when the fall started.

[00:11:34] [SPEAKER_00]: That man was getting second place.

[00:11:36] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm standing 12 on that.

[00:11:39] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm standing 12 on that.

[00:11:41] [SPEAKER_00]: I knew Fred Curley wasn't going to beat Zarnel.

[00:11:44] [SPEAKER_00]: I knew he wasn't.

[00:11:45] [SPEAKER_00]: And I knew Marcel Jacobs wasn't going to beat him.

[00:11:48] [SPEAKER_00]: So when he, when he, uh, fall started, it was like, well, is anybody game?

[00:11:52] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm rooting for Curley and Curley can't show up.

[00:11:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he didn't.

[00:11:57] [SPEAKER_00]: So that was a 2021, uh, the 2020, but it was 2021.

[00:12:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh-huh.

[00:12:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:12:06] [SPEAKER_01]: The 2020 Tokyo Olympics, uh, he ran a 994, uh, and he won, uh, in his first, uh, in his first hundred meter heat or whatever.

[00:12:15] [SPEAKER_01]: And then he goes on to become the first Italian to ever reach an Olympic 100 meter final.

[00:12:20] [SPEAKER_01]: And then he goes on and beats, uh, Fred Curley.

[00:12:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, Andre DeGrasse, I believe is the other one that he beat.

[00:12:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Linford Christie, uh, was the first European to win that.

[00:12:30] [SPEAKER_01]: And so, I mean, since 1992, that had not happened for anybody, uh, from Italy or from Europe for that matter.

[00:12:37] [SPEAKER_01]: And so, uh, he did something that nobody expected him to do, but you made a good point.

[00:12:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, he was able to win that because we saw another one of the people that we followed throughout here.

[00:12:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, Zarnel Hughes from England.

[00:12:51] [SPEAKER_01]: He had a false start.

[00:12:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Mighty Mouse.

[00:12:53] [SPEAKER_01]: We learned a lot about Zarnel Hughes.

[00:12:56] [SPEAKER_01]: What did you think about the way they portrayed his story as somebody who should have potentially won that race and then struggled with a lot of false starts after that, uh, and kind of put him on the back burner to somebody like Noah Lyles, who is our front runner in this entire series.

[00:13:10] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that's a, that's a bad way to, like, that's a bad way to go out in the Olympics.

[00:13:17] [SPEAKER_00]: You can call it a joke.

[00:13:19] [SPEAKER_00]: You can say joke.

[00:13:20] [SPEAKER_00]: It's fine.

[00:13:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that was a bad joke.

[00:13:22] [SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, it followed, you know, like that's something having a false start in an event like that takes a lot of discipline and character.

[00:13:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Usain Bolt did it in the Daegu, uh, 2011.

[00:13:32] [SPEAKER_00]: He, he false started and that new rule had just got implemented with one false start.

[00:13:37] [SPEAKER_00]: You out.

[00:13:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Johan Blake went on to win.

[00:13:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Johan Blake wasn't beating Usain Bolt in that, but he became the world champ, was the world champ that year.

[00:13:44] [SPEAKER_00]: And Usain Bolt had never false start after that.

[00:13:46] [SPEAKER_00]: But again, it take a different type of character and whatnot to come with.

[00:13:50] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he just, he just struggled with it.

[00:13:52] [SPEAKER_00]: But once he got it, he was cool.

[00:13:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Now, what I didn't appreciate is how them British folks out here calling him a fake Brit.

[00:13:58] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, y'all done colonized everything.

[00:14:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, what are you talking about, bro?

[00:14:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, he's British.

[00:14:05] [SPEAKER_00]: If he's hanging there, then he's British.

[00:14:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that, that's a good point.

[00:14:10] [SPEAKER_01]: So, um, one thing that I learned in this docuseries is that track is so big in Britain.

[00:14:15] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, it's like one of their biggest sports.

[00:14:17] [SPEAKER_01]: They were talking about how the track stars over there are kind of like the equivalent of what a football or American football or American basketball player would be.

[00:14:24] [SPEAKER_01]: These are the celebrities when it comes to athletes over there.

[00:14:28] [SPEAKER_01]: And so they were very proud that someone had finally broken this record, you know, that they finally were getting another medal.

[00:14:34] [SPEAKER_01]: But they weren't the most proud that it was Zarnel Hughes.

[00:14:38] [SPEAKER_01]: I believe they called him a plastic Brit at one point, meaning that.

[00:14:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah.

[00:14:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he wasn't exactly from London or England.

[00:14:47] [SPEAKER_01]: It was actually in from Anguilla.

[00:14:49] [SPEAKER_01]: And that has been colonized by Britain.

[00:14:53] [SPEAKER_01]: And so the nerve of these people to colonize this man's country, these islands, and then tell them, well, you're a part of us, but you're not like us.

[00:15:03] [SPEAKER_01]: What is up with these people?

[00:15:04] [SPEAKER_02]: He said that we learned the history.

[00:15:07] [SPEAKER_02]: We learned the anthem.

[00:15:09] [SPEAKER_02]: So he ain't British.

[00:15:11] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he sound British, you know.

[00:15:13] [SPEAKER_00]: He got a little bit, it's like a little, um, almost like a West Indy sound in him too.

[00:15:20] [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:15:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Man, like you can tell me down to this, like African, like ancestry heritage or whatever you want to call it in there.

[00:15:26] [SPEAKER_00]: But the man British, like.

[00:15:28] [SPEAKER_00]: He British.

[00:15:29] [SPEAKER_00]: But when he, when he, when he out here breaking records though, now y'all want to claim him.

[00:15:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Man.

[00:15:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:15:35] [SPEAKER_01]: That was tough to watch because you could tell it took a toll on him, you know, because he goes from being somebody who he, when he has this big moment, we saw that he did break the European record.

[00:15:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, but again, they, am I still going to be like, am I doing this and be, and not being accepted?

[00:15:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Why am I running for a country that doesn't accept me?

[00:15:52] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, that's a big thing, uh, to like struggle with and a big pill to swallow while also knowing that you still got Noah Lyles to deal with.

[00:16:00] [SPEAKER_01]: You still got Marcel Jacobs to deal with.

[00:16:02] [SPEAKER_01]: And you also have somebody else who you named earlier in, uh, Fred Curley.

[00:16:07] [SPEAKER_01]: What did you think?

[00:16:08] [SPEAKER_01]: So Frank pops up about four episodes into this, what, eight part docu-series.

[00:16:13] [SPEAKER_01]: I honestly didn't even think we were going to see him.

[00:16:16] [SPEAKER_01]: What did you think about Fred's appearance?

[00:16:19] [SPEAKER_00]: I guess, you know what I'm saying?

[00:16:21] [SPEAKER_00]: He, he, he caught, he caught everybody by, by stormy.

[00:16:24] [SPEAKER_00]: He went from being a 400 meter runner down to a hundred.

[00:16:27] [SPEAKER_00]: That's, that's a big jump.

[00:16:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Like that's a big jump.

[00:16:31] [SPEAKER_00]: That's like a 100 meter runner going to the fold.

[00:16:33] [SPEAKER_00]: That's, that's usually you can go one, two or two fold.

[00:16:37] [SPEAKER_00]: You never go all the way down and like skip in between the two.

[00:16:39] [SPEAKER_00]: You already do that.

[00:16:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Like Allison Felix is one of the very few that was able to do that.

[00:16:44] [SPEAKER_00]: It has success.

[00:16:45] [SPEAKER_00]: And that's why she go.

[00:16:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Um, but I mean, he had a good little run.

[00:16:51] [SPEAKER_00]: He had a good little rise.

[00:16:52] [SPEAKER_00]: I think he, did he win that world championship in 2022?

[00:16:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I believe.

[00:16:57] [SPEAKER_01]: So yes.

[00:16:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:16:58] [SPEAKER_00]: He won it in 2022, but since then.

[00:17:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Way then?

[00:17:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:17:04] [SPEAKER_01]: So that's one of the big,

[00:17:05] [SPEAKER_01]: the big questions that we've been talking about with Fred Curley is that, uh,

[00:17:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Fred Curley comes on and he has a lot of swagger about himself.

[00:17:10] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, he comes in and you can tell.

[00:17:12] [SPEAKER_01]: It's like, I'm not about to do a lot of talking.

[00:17:13] [SPEAKER_01]: I ain't got to do all that.

[00:17:14] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm about to run.

[00:17:15] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm about to win.

[00:17:15] [SPEAKER_01]: And he's a big guy.

[00:17:17] [SPEAKER_01]: That's a big dude to be running like that.

[00:17:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:17:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:17:20] [SPEAKER_01]: So, uh, Fred Curley, also the second person that we've talked about from Texas in

[00:17:24] [SPEAKER_01]: this docus here, just don't throw that out there.

[00:17:25] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, uh, listen,

[00:17:27] [SPEAKER_01]: country.

[00:17:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Cause, cause we get to claim, we get to claim the Italian too.

[00:17:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Now, you know, now that I know he's from El Paso, we get to claim him too.

[00:17:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:17:35] [SPEAKER_01]: But Fred Curley out of Texas A&M, uh, we, we see his, uh, his interaction with Noah

[00:17:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Lyles.

[00:17:40] [SPEAKER_01]: I think that's the way they paint him in the series.

[00:17:42] [SPEAKER_01]: It's like, you have Noah, who's a certain way.

[00:17:44] [SPEAKER_01]: You have Fred, who's a certain way, but they're very much competition, but they're not really

[00:17:48] [SPEAKER_01]: friends.

[00:17:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Mighty Mouse.

[00:17:49] [SPEAKER_01]: What would you describe as the relationship between the two of them?

[00:17:54] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you either got that dog in you or you don't.

[00:17:58] [SPEAKER_00]: And I think Noah got more dog in him.

[00:18:01] [SPEAKER_00]: I ain't saying Fred Curley ain't got no dog in him, but it's levels to this.

[00:18:04] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, you got, you got pit bull, but then you got a goddamn like husky.

[00:18:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Husky, you know what I'm saying?

[00:18:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Closer, closer to his actual, like, you know, wolf, you know what I mean?

[00:18:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Like different type of dog in this mug, you know?

[00:18:16] [SPEAKER_00]: So, I mean, Noah talked to his issue and he, he meant that like, Hey, you talking all

[00:18:24] [SPEAKER_00]: this about, I'm the fastest in the world.

[00:18:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, they all say that till they get beat.

[00:18:28] [SPEAKER_00]: I feel like I got to see you after this press conference.

[00:18:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Cause you ain't going to embarrass me like that in front of all these white people.

[00:18:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:18:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Embarrass me like that.

[00:18:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, that's the thing.

[00:18:39] [SPEAKER_01]: When it comes to, uh, to, when it comes to Noah, uh, he going to talk his noise.

[00:18:43] [SPEAKER_01]: He going to talk his noise at the press conference.

[00:18:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, and Fred really didn't have a lot of patience that for that.

[00:18:49] [SPEAKER_01]: I liked the scenes where they were in it together because you really did get to know the personalities

[00:18:53] [SPEAKER_01]: of these people a little bit more, you know?

[00:18:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, so we saw Marcel, he's the Italian, but he's very flashy, right?

[00:19:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Everything he, he dripping from head to toe.

[00:19:02] [SPEAKER_01]: I think he had Prada on from head to toe.

[00:19:04] [SPEAKER_01]: He's like in a magazine.

[00:19:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Like he, this man is oozing celebrity, but also.

[00:19:09] [SPEAKER_01]: There's questions about, is he actually going to compete?

[00:19:12] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, your boy Marcel, they just, we, we, we know he won this title, but when is he

[00:19:17] [SPEAKER_01]: going to defend it?

[00:19:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Then you have Noah who's walking around.

[00:19:20] [SPEAKER_01]: He's very swaggy in his own way.

[00:19:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Noah, you can tell he is, he is the star of his own story.

[00:19:24] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, everywhere he goes, people taking photos.

[00:19:27] [SPEAKER_01]: He got people taking photos of him.

[00:19:29] [SPEAKER_01]: He walk into the room.

[00:19:30] [SPEAKER_01]: He don't even go talk to people at first.

[00:19:31] [SPEAKER_01]: He got to go take his photos first.

[00:19:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Then go dap everybody up and then go sit by himself, you know?

[00:19:36] [SPEAKER_01]: And then you got Fred who doesn't do a lot of talking.

[00:19:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Zarnel doesn't do a lot of talking.

[00:19:40] [SPEAKER_01]: He's a little bit more peaceful probably than Fred, but we really do get to know each of

[00:19:44] [SPEAKER_01]: their personalities a little bit.

[00:19:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Did it, did it change the way you looked at them though, as, as runners?

[00:19:50] [SPEAKER_00]: No, I mean, it was pretty spot on.

[00:19:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Noah was like very, very confident.

[00:19:54] [SPEAKER_00]: And Fred Curley's just like, Hey, I see you on the track, bro.

[00:19:57] [SPEAKER_00]: I was like, I don't talk.

[00:19:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Cause he don't, he really don't say much.

[00:19:59] [SPEAKER_00]: So even in that interview, when he was talking, I was surprised he said that much.

[00:20:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Cause Fred Curley don't talk.

[00:20:04] [SPEAKER_00]: When he do his interviews, it's like, he just trying to get his medal and go.

[00:20:08] [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:20:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Trying to get these flowers, toss them high.

[00:20:11] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm out.

[00:20:12] [SPEAKER_00]: He really like talking Noah.

[00:20:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Noah liked me.

[00:20:15] [SPEAKER_00]: He liked that spotlight.

[00:20:16] [SPEAKER_00]: He was born for it.

[00:20:17] [SPEAKER_01]: You feel me?

[00:20:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh yeah.

[00:20:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Noah's a star.

[00:20:20] [SPEAKER_01]: He really is.

[00:20:21] [SPEAKER_01]: And one of the things that we'll see them, uh, that Noah will deal with throughout this

[00:20:25] [SPEAKER_01]: is kind of how people are accepting his, uh, personality.

[00:20:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Because even in the room full of all the other track and field people, when the track

[00:20:32] [SPEAKER_01]: stars are sitting around, you see them sizing each other up, but a lot of them are talking

[00:20:37] [SPEAKER_01]: about Noah, you know?

[00:20:38] [SPEAKER_01]: And it feels like to me, Mighty Mouse, that Noah can tell that he is the hottest topic because

[00:20:43] [SPEAKER_01]: I think he's the guy right now.

[00:20:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Right?

[00:20:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, bro.

[00:20:45] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, of course everybody talking about him cause he back up everything he say, bro.

[00:20:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Like the man, the man is a real threat.

[00:20:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Like he a real problem.

[00:20:58] [SPEAKER_00]: This man said, I'm coming from the two, which I know nobody could beat me.

[00:21:01] [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm going to step on y'all now.

[00:21:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:21:03] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm on y'all neck now.

[00:21:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:21:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Cause who ain't seen that boy acceleration?

[00:21:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:21:09] [SPEAKER_00]: The best starter.

[00:21:11] [SPEAKER_00]: No, but if he get that star, right.

[00:21:12] [SPEAKER_00]: That boy got walk away from you speed.

[00:21:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, walk you down and walk away from that's why him and Sha'Carri are just on the track,

[00:21:22] [SPEAKER_00]: bro.

[00:21:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Like I know.

[00:21:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh yeah.

[00:21:26] [SPEAKER_01]: We got, we going to make time for Sha'Carri.

[00:21:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Make no mistake.

[00:21:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Cause Texas Holden in this one.

[00:21:29] [SPEAKER_01]: All right.

[00:21:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Let me just say that.

[00:21:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[00:21:33] [SPEAKER_01]: But Noah to me, I enjoyed watching him, but I really liked how he described his relationship

[00:21:38] [SPEAKER_01]: with the 200 and the 100.

[00:21:39] [SPEAKER_01]: He was talking about how the 100 is his mistress, but the 200, that's his wife.

[00:21:43] [SPEAKER_01]: That's his main.

[00:21:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, exactly.

[00:21:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Because he's new to the 100.

[00:21:48] [SPEAKER_01]: That's not really his bag, but the 200, you can tell that it's not even about running it.

[00:21:54] [SPEAKER_01]: He understands that track when it comes to the 200.

[00:21:57] [SPEAKER_01]: He was telling us in confessionals and stuff in his interviews, I can tell how they going

[00:22:03] [SPEAKER_01]: to run it.

[00:22:04] [SPEAKER_01]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:22:04] [SPEAKER_01]: I can look at you and see what you going to do, how you should be running it and where

[00:22:08] [SPEAKER_01]: you going wrong.

[00:22:09] [SPEAKER_01]: And that's how I'm going to beat you.

[00:22:10] [SPEAKER_01]: And throughout this series, we really watched Noah just pack people up left and right on

[00:22:16] [SPEAKER_01]: that 200.

[00:22:18] [SPEAKER_01]: How would you describe the transition from the 200 to the 100 for someone like Noah Lyles?

[00:22:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Minimal error for mistake.

[00:22:27] [SPEAKER_00]: The 200, you can rely on getting a bad start and coming up out that curve, however you run

[00:22:33] [SPEAKER_00]: it, whatever lane you win, how hard you come up out that curve, going to have you set up

[00:22:37] [SPEAKER_00]: for the straightaway.

[00:22:38] [SPEAKER_00]: So with Noah Lyles, he's had races where he's came out late.

[00:22:41] [SPEAKER_00]: And by the time you get to the top of that stretch, he going to walk past you.

[00:22:45] [SPEAKER_00]: You can't give him no room to come and catch you.

[00:22:48] [SPEAKER_00]: If he on your hip, he's going to walk away from you.

[00:22:50] [SPEAKER_00]: In the 100, you got to be making your move.

[00:22:54] [SPEAKER_00]: You got to have a perfect start, drive through the right phases, and then hope that you hold

[00:23:01] [SPEAKER_00]: your top end longer than everybody.

[00:23:02] [SPEAKER_00]: That's all it is.

[00:23:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Who's going to slow down the slowest?

[00:23:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:23:06] [SPEAKER_01]: And for me, I was watching it and I was thinking, OK, I want to be invested in each of them.

[00:23:11] [SPEAKER_01]: But my attention just keeps getting drawn to Noah Lyles.

[00:23:14] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, he's so young, but he's so talented.

[00:23:16] [SPEAKER_01]: And you just you feel like you're rooting for him so much, knowing the background he comes

[00:23:21] [SPEAKER_01]: from, knowing, you know, about his struggle with asthma, seeing his family life.

[00:23:26] [SPEAKER_01]: The show like the show really does a good job of really saying like, nah, you should root

[00:23:30] [SPEAKER_01]: for him, even when he's having his cockier moments, because Mighty Mouse, one of the moments

[00:23:35] [SPEAKER_01]: that stands out the most for Noah Lyles in a few years is his relationship with the press.

[00:23:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Noah Lyles has gotten into some hot water because Noah's goal is to bring and shine a light

[00:23:46] [SPEAKER_01]: on track and track athletes.

[00:23:48] [SPEAKER_01]: He's like, why aren't we bigger names?

[00:23:50] [SPEAKER_01]: We are international competitors.

[00:23:52] [SPEAKER_01]: We represent our country.

[00:23:54] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a team effort.

[00:23:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

[00:23:56] [SPEAKER_01]: But a lot of our a lot of our success is based on our own drive and our own will to win.

[00:24:02] [SPEAKER_01]: And it's a lot of other sports that don't quite meet that same criteria.

[00:24:08] [SPEAKER_01]: They get a little bit more glory and a little bit more fame than we do, specifically the NBA.

[00:24:15] [SPEAKER_01]: So he does a press conference and he talks about how these runners are competing for the world

[00:24:21] [SPEAKER_01]: championship because it's against the entire world.

[00:24:24] [SPEAKER_01]: But he saw that people in the NBA were calling the champions at the time, the world championships,

[00:24:30] [SPEAKER_01]: knowing that the National Basketball Association is in the United States.

[00:24:33] [SPEAKER_01]: It's not exactly the world.

[00:24:35] [SPEAKER_01]: And Noah called him out.

[00:24:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Mighty Mouse, they were not happy with this man.

[00:24:40] [SPEAKER_00]: That man stood on 10 and I support him.

[00:24:43] [SPEAKER_00]: It's the truth.

[00:24:44] [SPEAKER_00]: It's the truth.

[00:24:45] [SPEAKER_00]: And if Lex, if you watch this, I'm sorry, bro, but I'm, I'm, I'm, you know why I stand on

[00:24:50] [SPEAKER_00]: this.

[00:24:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Track stars run around the world.

[00:24:55] [SPEAKER_00]: They complete in the, they compete in the world championships every other year than the

[00:24:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Olympics every four years.

[00:25:01] [SPEAKER_00]: They make their money from being fast.

[00:25:05] [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:25:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Racing people from around the world.

[00:25:07] [SPEAKER_00]: And whenever it's on a U S circuit is known as the U S circuit.

[00:25:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Other than that, the diamond league is all around the world.

[00:25:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Mostly in Europe for the most part, bro.

[00:25:18] [SPEAKER_00]: How are you a world champion?

[00:25:21] [SPEAKER_00]: And you playing only teams in the state.

[00:25:23] [SPEAKER_00]: I get because, Oh, well, other people from other countries come and play.

[00:25:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I get that.

[00:25:29] [SPEAKER_00]: But even in the MLB, they play against players from Japan is on the other side of the world.

[00:25:35] [SPEAKER_00]: He had a point, you know what I'm saying?

[00:25:37] [SPEAKER_00]: I think that he was one of the first track stars to say it and was unapologetic.

[00:25:41] [SPEAKER_00]: And I've been saying that, bro.

[00:25:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Like no world champion.

[00:25:46] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you the best in the world, the world, literally, you know what I'm saying?

[00:25:50] [SPEAKER_00]: The United States basketball team see that when they go and play in them exhibitions every

[00:25:55] [SPEAKER_00]: now and again.

[00:25:56] [SPEAKER_00]: And when they go to the Olympics, that's when they play in them boys around the world.

[00:25:59] [SPEAKER_00]: And the U S don't always be out here just skunking everybody.

[00:26:02] [SPEAKER_00]: They be getting it handed to them too.

[00:26:04] [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:26:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Cause you're the best in the world.

[00:26:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Like you stand on this individual team with other players, not the ones you playing with

[00:26:10] [SPEAKER_00]: now.

[00:26:11] [SPEAKER_00]: It's a lot of different energies and attitudes and stuff.

[00:26:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Like track you by yourself.

[00:26:18] [SPEAKER_00]: It's me in this track.

[00:26:19] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm my own, I'm my own player.

[00:26:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Unless it's a relay.

[00:26:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:26:23] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I completely understand where he was coming from too.

[00:26:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Of course, people didn't like that.

[00:26:28] [SPEAKER_01]: And I get the counter argument, right?

[00:26:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Like you were saying the best players from other countries come to the United States to

[00:26:34] [SPEAKER_01]: play in the NBA.

[00:26:35] [SPEAKER_01]: They are dying to have a chance to play in the NBA.

[00:26:38] [SPEAKER_01]: So I understand what they're talking about.

[00:26:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Like if, if you have to put the NBA up against any other league, then the NBA is probably

[00:26:45] [SPEAKER_01]: the best one anyway.

[00:26:46] [SPEAKER_01]: So winning the NBA championship would by proxy mean that you are probably the best team

[00:26:50] [SPEAKER_01]: in the world, but it's not the same.

[00:26:53] [SPEAKER_01]: As having to go and compete against those other teams.

[00:26:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Because like you said, the NBA basketball team, the USA basketball team is not flawless

[00:27:01] [SPEAKER_01]: when it comes to international competition.

[00:27:03] [SPEAKER_01]: We have seen them not be successful every time, you know?

[00:27:07] [SPEAKER_01]: So there's, yeah.

[00:27:09] [SPEAKER_01]: So there's argument to make that just because you won in the NBA does not necessarily mean

[00:27:13] [SPEAKER_01]: you would be the best team in the world.

[00:27:15] [SPEAKER_01]: You were just the best team in the USA.

[00:27:17] [SPEAKER_01]: I saw what Noah was talking about.

[00:27:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, he got a lot of kickback from that.

[00:27:21] [SPEAKER_01]: A lot of pushback from that.

[00:27:22] [SPEAKER_01]: But you, like you said, he's still on business.

[00:27:24] [SPEAKER_01]: He's like, I said what I said.

[00:27:27] [SPEAKER_01]: And then people were preying on his downfall and you know it.

[00:27:30] [SPEAKER_01]: They want this boy to lose so bad, Mighty Mouse.

[00:27:33] [SPEAKER_01]: They do.

[00:27:36] [SPEAKER_00]: They can be mad all they want, but I'm a saving room for my boy.

[00:27:39] [SPEAKER_00]: That man came out with Yu-Gi-Oh cards.

[00:27:41] [SPEAKER_00]: But who beat this man, dog?

[00:27:43] [SPEAKER_00]: I would have been sitting there like, who, who, who, who, who, who this?

[00:27:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Who this?

[00:27:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Who this?

[00:27:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Yo, buddy, who this?

[00:27:52] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not, come on, man.

[00:27:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, people are just, they mad that he outspoken.

[00:27:57] [SPEAKER_00]: That was the same thing with Sha'Carri.

[00:27:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Sha'Carri is outspoken.

[00:28:00] [SPEAKER_00]: And at track, you usually keep it quiet.

[00:28:02] [SPEAKER_00]: You keep it pushing.

[00:28:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Because Sha'Carri pissed a lot of people off when she said in that interview and she

[00:28:07] [SPEAKER_00]: was cussing and whatnot and how she felt and talking about the media.

[00:28:10] [SPEAKER_00]: She wasn't wrong, though.

[00:28:11] [SPEAKER_00]: But she also had a lot she was going through.

[00:28:13] [SPEAKER_00]: But everybody was like, hey, you need to be quiet.

[00:28:16] [SPEAKER_00]: You need to tone it down.

[00:28:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, yeah, but she not wrong, though.

[00:28:19] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, like, on the track part of it.

[00:28:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, she not, she not wrong.

[00:28:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, it's, we deserve to have the same light as everybody else.

[00:28:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, what's up with it, man?

[00:28:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Y'all treat y'all, the way y'all treat us.

[00:28:31] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, we human, bro.

[00:28:32] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, like, man.

[00:28:34] [SPEAKER_00]: I love track.

[00:28:36] [SPEAKER_01]: No, listen.

[00:28:36] [SPEAKER_01]: This is fun to talk about.

[00:28:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Because you bring up Sha'Carri.

[00:28:39] [SPEAKER_01]: And we've been dancing around a little bit.

[00:28:40] [SPEAKER_01]: But Sha'Carri is another one of the standouts in this series.

[00:28:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, you and I are both going to care a lot about that.

[00:28:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Because, you know, she from the house as well.

[00:28:47] [SPEAKER_01]: She from Texas.

[00:28:48] [SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, we've watched her.

[00:28:51] [SPEAKER_01]: We've watched her closely as she's ascended up the ranks.

[00:28:55] [SPEAKER_01]: But this is 2023.

[00:28:57] [SPEAKER_01]: This is one of those pivotal years for Sha'Carri.

[00:28:59] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, the one from the docuseries from Sprint, right?

[00:29:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Says, we get Sha'Carri off of the backs of, like, some embarrassing losses.

[00:29:07] [SPEAKER_01]: I will go ahead and call them what they were.

[00:29:08] [SPEAKER_01]: They were not.

[00:29:09] [SPEAKER_01]: They weren't great.

[00:29:09] [SPEAKER_01]: People were not happy with Sha'Carri.

[00:29:12] [SPEAKER_01]: She was talking a lot of noise.

[00:29:13] [SPEAKER_01]: But she, unlike Noah, she was not backing it up.

[00:29:16] [SPEAKER_01]: There were several different competitions where she did not place.

[00:29:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Or, you know, and she was talking a lot of trash.

[00:29:23] [SPEAKER_01]: So people were honestly preying on her downfall, too.

[00:29:25] [SPEAKER_01]: And so in this series, we kind of start after the controversy and talk about what is Sha'Carri

[00:29:31] [SPEAKER_01]: going to do now that she needs to take her place and try to get back to the Olympics and also to try to win the world championship in 2023.

[00:29:41] [SPEAKER_01]: And she has a lot of people standing in her way.

[00:29:44] [SPEAKER_01]: And you know exactly what I'm talking about.

[00:29:46] [SPEAKER_01]: The Jamaicans.

[00:29:47] [SPEAKER_01]: So, Mighty Mouse, we love Sha'Carri.

[00:29:50] [SPEAKER_01]: But we'd be lied if we said we didn't love them Jamaicans, too, man.

[00:29:53] [SPEAKER_00]: No.

[00:29:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Shelly Ann Fraser is arguably the greatest women's 100-meter sprinter to ever touch a track.

[00:30:03] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry.

[00:30:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, the record speed, they call it a mommy rocket for a reason.

[00:30:07] [SPEAKER_00]: And then you got Elaine Thompson-Hero.

[00:30:11] [SPEAKER_00]: They call it a fast lane for a reason.

[00:30:13] [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:30:14] [SPEAKER_00]: When she healthy, I saw the race with Sha'Carri in that race with them Jamaicans.

[00:30:19] [SPEAKER_00]: That woman walked away and ran the second fastest time in history.

[00:30:22] [SPEAKER_00]: And then you got Sharika Jackson, who was, oh, you know what?

[00:30:26] [SPEAKER_00]: I lied.

[00:30:26] [SPEAKER_00]: I got to say, I said Allison Felix.

[00:30:28] [SPEAKER_00]: I forgot three.

[00:30:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Sharika ran the four.

[00:30:30] [SPEAKER_00]: She got medals in the four, the two, and the one.

[00:30:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm.

[00:30:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:30:34] [SPEAKER_01]: She a problem, too.

[00:30:35] [SPEAKER_01]: This is tough.

[00:30:36] [SPEAKER_01]: This is tough competition for Sha'Carri.

[00:30:38] [SPEAKER_01]: It's major, dog.

[00:30:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:30:40] [SPEAKER_01]: This is tough because the USA and Jamaica has had, like, a history of a rivalry on the track.

[00:30:49] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, if it's not the U.S., it's Jamaica.

[00:30:51] [SPEAKER_01]: And when it comes to women's track, those are the two factions.

[00:30:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Sha'Carri is our leader for the United States.

[00:30:56] [SPEAKER_01]: But we got three people to contend with over in Jamaica.

[00:31:00] [SPEAKER_01]: You mentioned Shelly Ann Fraser-Price, one of the most decorated sprinters of all time.

[00:31:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, the most world championships, more than anybody else.

[00:31:09] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, this woman is a legend.

[00:31:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Bro, she's like 36.

[00:31:13] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, she's not even that old.

[00:31:15] [SPEAKER_01]: 36, dog.

[00:31:15] [SPEAKER_01]: And she, she old for track, but not that old in life, bro.

[00:31:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Right, right.

[00:31:19] [SPEAKER_01]: And so, she like, I still got years to go.

[00:31:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, I love seeing Shelly Ann Fraser.

[00:31:24] [SPEAKER_01]: I did.

[00:31:25] [SPEAKER_01]: I love her.

[00:31:25] [SPEAKER_01]: I love her.

[00:31:26] [SPEAKER_01]: I love watching her.

[00:31:27] [SPEAKER_01]: She's so fun.

[00:31:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, she seems like she's having a good time.

[00:31:29] [SPEAKER_01]: The crowd loves her and stuff like that.

[00:31:31] [SPEAKER_01]: But I learned a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot about some of the drama and stuff that Shelly Ann

[00:31:37] [SPEAKER_01]: has done, has dealt with in her career when it comes to, uh, Team Jamaica and her actual

[00:31:43] [SPEAKER_01]: team that she, uh, practices with.

[00:31:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Were you familiar with any of this?

[00:31:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Bro, I, nah, because they was always running.

[00:31:51] [SPEAKER_00]: They were sweeping so much.

[00:31:53] [SPEAKER_00]: You thought everybody trained together.

[00:31:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Kind of like what it, what it ended up showing.

[00:31:56] [SPEAKER_00]: And like, they was always winning everything.

[00:31:59] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, from where, like 2008?

[00:32:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.

[00:32:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.

[00:32:02] [SPEAKER_00]: To, you know, Sha'Carri really showed up on the map.

[00:32:07] [SPEAKER_00]: The Jamaicans been running it.

[00:32:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:32:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Sweeping, sweeping damn near at least one, two every time.

[00:32:12] [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?

[00:32:13] [SPEAKER_00]: And Shelly Ann won the last five, five or six world titles out of the last seven.

[00:32:19] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, mm-hmm.

[00:32:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.

[00:32:20] [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?

[00:32:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, they all got medals.

[00:32:23] [SPEAKER_00]: So, it was, it was, it was, it makes sense.

[00:32:26] [SPEAKER_00]: I guess, you know, you got the Mommy Rocky, who's already been established as one of the

[00:32:30] [SPEAKER_00]: greatest Jamaican sprinters of all time, arguably.

[00:32:33] [SPEAKER_00]: And then you got Elaine Thompson-Hira, who right on her neck.

[00:32:37] [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:32:38] [SPEAKER_00]: She the second fastest woman to ever live all the time.

[00:32:41] [SPEAKER_00]: And then you got the youngster, Sharika, who catching everybody like on the low.

[00:32:46] [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:32:47] [SPEAKER_00]: She the sleeper.

[00:32:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm.

[00:32:49] [SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?

[00:32:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Like.

[00:32:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:32:51] [SPEAKER_01]: And, and it's funny because we have, uh, Stephen Francis is the coach for, uh, the Jamaicans,

[00:32:57] [SPEAKER_01]: for the, the Jamaican team.

[00:32:58] [SPEAKER_01]: I think he's led probably more, uh, world championship winners in any, uh, like in any

[00:33:05] [SPEAKER_01]: country.

[00:33:06] [SPEAKER_01]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:33:06] [SPEAKER_01]: The Jamaicans, he's like, I got like a track and field factory, uh, with, uh, you know,

[00:33:11] [SPEAKER_01]: team Jamaica.

[00:33:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, but there has been some issues.

[00:33:14] [SPEAKER_01]: We know Shelly Ann was like the it girl.

[00:33:15] [SPEAKER_01]: She was the one that everybody was trying to beat.

[00:33:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, however, uh, we do see the emergence of Elaine Thompson at one point, and that starts

[00:33:24] [SPEAKER_01]: to cause some friction, causing Shelly Ann to eventually leave her representation and

[00:33:29] [SPEAKER_01]: her, uh, and her team to go and coach herself, uh, well, to find a different coach, uh, obviously,

[00:33:35] [SPEAKER_01]: and to, uh, to move on from there, leaving Elaine as the new it girl.

[00:33:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, what's the thing about Elaine in this series?

[00:33:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:33:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Cause, uh, I think that that's a tough spot to jump into, but then knowing that she will

[00:33:47] [SPEAKER_01]: eventually also leave and go, uh, have her husband as her coach.

[00:33:51] [SPEAKER_01]: That's very interesting to me.

[00:33:55] [SPEAKER_00]: It was, it was cool learning more about Elaine because again, Elaine emerged like in 2016

[00:34:00] [SPEAKER_00]: when she won that gold medal in, uh, in what was it in Brazil, in Rio.

[00:34:05] [SPEAKER_00]: And then she kind of like, her and Shelly Ann was just back and forth, back and forth.

[00:34:09] [SPEAKER_00]: So you never really got to like, see like their relationship or like what beef might have

[00:34:16] [SPEAKER_00]: been there.

[00:34:17] [SPEAKER_00]: So like it, for me, it was really interesting just diving into her life and like the injuries

[00:34:21] [SPEAKER_00]: that she's been dealing with and why she's been off the scene so much.

[00:34:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Cause she has not been on the same caliber that she's been on since the race when she ran

[00:34:30] [SPEAKER_00]: was at 10, 5, 4, 10, 5, 4, second fastest ever.

[00:34:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Like she has not been in that.

[00:34:37] [SPEAKER_00]: She hasn't been in that form since.

[00:34:39] [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah.

[00:34:40] [SPEAKER_01]: And I, I think that's like Beijing Olympics is when she got, gets like the Olympic record.

[00:34:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, and then, like you said, uh, she ends up leaving Stephen Francis as her coach, uh,

[00:34:50] [SPEAKER_01]: because he's the co-founder and, uh, chief coach of MVP, which is their, uh, their track

[00:34:55] [SPEAKER_01]: club over there.

[00:34:56] [SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, when Shellyann was there, I mean, there's competition, obviously, you

[00:35:00] [SPEAKER_01]: know, her and Elaine are the competition against each other.

[00:35:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Shellyann leaves because she probably is like not really feeling the competitive spirit between

[00:35:08] [SPEAKER_01]: the two of them.

[00:35:08] [SPEAKER_01]: You're teammates, but you're also, you know, like you said, track is an individual sport

[00:35:11] [SPEAKER_01]: in a lot of ways.

[00:35:13] [SPEAKER_01]: So most ways, honestly.

[00:35:14] [SPEAKER_01]: And so you kind of want to be able to make your, carve your own spot.

[00:35:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Shellyann had already gotten what, um, five world titles by the time this rolled around,

[00:35:23] [SPEAKER_01]: like five of them, Olympian champion multiple times, most successful female runner of all

[00:35:27] [SPEAKER_01]: time.

[00:35:28] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you name it.

[00:35:29] [SPEAKER_01]: So for now, Elaine to kind of be coming and taking the spotlight, that'd have to be tough.

[00:35:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, Elaine will go on and win a bunch of championships, uh, after running for 11 years.

[00:35:39] [SPEAKER_01]: She beat Shellyann in Rio.

[00:35:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, I believe she got at least.

[00:35:42] [SPEAKER_00]: That was Tokyo where she set that Olympic record.

[00:35:45] [SPEAKER_00]: She beat her in Tokyo too.

[00:35:46] [SPEAKER_01]: She beat her in Tokyo.

[00:35:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.

[00:35:48] [SPEAKER_01]: And so between those two, it really felt like that friction leads them both to end up leaving

[00:35:53] [SPEAKER_01]: MVP.

[00:35:54] [SPEAKER_01]: And, um, you brought it up, but it does feel like Elaine hasn't been on the same level as

[00:36:00] [SPEAKER_01]: she used to be.

[00:36:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Do you feel like it's just the transition to a new coach?

[00:36:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Do you feel like maybe, uh, you know, maybe she shouldn't have left MVP?

[00:36:08] [SPEAKER_01]: What do you think about this?

[00:36:11] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, man.

[00:36:12] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, in track, I mean, injuries, uh, injuries are just prone.

[00:36:16] [SPEAKER_00]: It's depending on how bad your injury is.

[00:36:18] [SPEAKER_00]: You never run the same.

[00:36:19] [SPEAKER_00]: It's, it's tough.

[00:36:21] [SPEAKER_00]: So I, I don't want to say it may be coaching because, you know, people change coaches all

[00:36:26] [SPEAKER_00]: the time and they have success and whatnot, you know?

[00:36:29] [SPEAKER_00]: So I think it's just the injuries.

[00:36:31] [SPEAKER_00]: I think whatever she had recently is really, she's had a hard time coming back from because

[00:36:36] [SPEAKER_00]: she doesn't accelerate like she used to.

[00:36:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Like she don't keep her top end as long as she used to where she would just pull away

[00:36:42] [SPEAKER_00]: from people.

[00:36:43] [SPEAKER_01]: You know?

[00:36:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:36:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:36:45] [SPEAKER_01]: So I hear you.

[00:36:47] [SPEAKER_01]: I hear you.

[00:36:48] [SPEAKER_01]: People change coaches all the time, but MVP has gotten at least 130 gold medals.

[00:36:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Now, let me finish.

[00:36:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Let me finish.

[00:36:58] [SPEAKER_01]: 130 gold medals.

[00:37:00] [SPEAKER_01]: This, this is the group that they brought us Shelly Ann.

[00:37:04] [SPEAKER_01]: They brought us Elaine.

[00:37:05] [SPEAKER_01]: And when Elaine left, they said next one up and we got Sherika Jackson.

[00:37:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Now listen, listen, Sherika showed up.

[00:37:15] [SPEAKER_01]: And they was like, oh, who is this new chick?

[00:37:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Who is she?

[00:37:18] [SPEAKER_01]: She's obviously not Elaine.

[00:37:20] [SPEAKER_01]: She's not Shelly Ann.

[00:37:22] [SPEAKER_01]: But Sherika ain't playing with y'all.

[00:37:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[00:37:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Sherika runs.

[00:37:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[00:37:25] [SPEAKER_01]: And we'll see in this series.

[00:37:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, nah.

[00:37:27] [SPEAKER_01]: She ain't one to mess with me.

[00:37:28] [SPEAKER_01]: I loved it.

[00:37:29] [SPEAKER_01]: I loved it.

[00:37:30] [SPEAKER_01]: I loved it.

[00:37:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Because it makes you wonder, is it the coaching?

[00:37:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Because, I mean, it seemed like they're not running out of winners over there on Team

[00:37:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Jamaica.

[00:37:41] [SPEAKER_00]: No, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, those are facts.

[00:37:44] [SPEAKER_00]: These are facts.

[00:37:45] [SPEAKER_00]: These are facts.

[00:37:45] [SPEAKER_03]: These are facts.

[00:37:46] [SPEAKER_03]: These are facts.

[00:37:47] [SPEAKER_03]: These are facts.

[00:37:50] [SPEAKER_00]: I, ever since she left that, I don't know if she had been running with MVP since she was,

[00:37:55] [SPEAKER_00]: when she was running a four.

[00:37:56] [SPEAKER_00]: But ever since she, ever since, whenever she transitioned to the two, that was the most

[00:38:02] [SPEAKER_00]: genius thing they could have done.

[00:38:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Because the girl was born for it and her form that she run with, her top end speed is, is

[00:38:11] [SPEAKER_00]: different.

[00:38:11] [SPEAKER_00]: It's something Shellyann hadn't really experienced since Elaine.

[00:38:15] [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:38:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Like Elaine, her and Elaine have scored each other multiple times, but the couple of times,

[00:38:20] [SPEAKER_00]: the first time she raced, uh, what was, what was that?

[00:38:23] [SPEAKER_00]: That was the, um, what's it?

[00:38:27] [SPEAKER_00]: No, this was, this was Budapest.

[00:38:28] [SPEAKER_00]: So we're talking about 2023.

[00:38:30] [SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no.

[00:38:30] [SPEAKER_00]: You don't take that back.

[00:38:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Shellyann won in 2022.

[00:38:33] [SPEAKER_00]: And I think Sherika was in that final when she won.

[00:38:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Sherika won in 2022.

[00:38:36] [SPEAKER_01]: She got gold, uh, after winning in 2022, which is why she wanted to double, uh, once this

[00:38:41] [SPEAKER_01]: docuseries rolled around, I believe.

[00:38:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Not yet.

[00:38:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, and she, she got that in the two.

[00:38:45] [SPEAKER_00]: She didn't run a hundred.

[00:38:46] [SPEAKER_00]: She didn't run a hundred.

[00:38:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:38:47] [SPEAKER_00]: So this was her first time running with, with her.

[00:38:50] [SPEAKER_00]: And like, you seeing the times and like the track stars, you ain't got to really race

[00:38:53] [SPEAKER_00]: a motherfucker to know, like she ran a 10, 10, eight.

[00:38:58] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, okay.

[00:39:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Consistently 10 sevens here and there.

[00:39:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, Oh, she's just, and she just starting this out.

[00:39:05] [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm going to watch, you know what I'm saying?

[00:39:06] [SPEAKER_00]: The mommy rocket still got it, but she got that start.

[00:39:10] [SPEAKER_00]: But that speed started doing this a little bit, a little bit.

[00:39:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:39:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:39:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Sad news about, uh, Sharika.

[00:39:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, we both have talked about this recently just amongst ourselves, but it's 2024.

[00:39:24] [SPEAKER_01]: The Olympics are upon us and you brought it up earlier.

[00:39:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Injuries will really derail a championship run.

[00:39:31] [SPEAKER_01]: We will not see Sharika, uh, in the next few days in the Olympics.

[00:39:35] [SPEAKER_01]: What do you, how do you feel about that?

[00:39:36] [SPEAKER_00]: It sucked because I, I wanted to see the rematch.

[00:39:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:39:43] [SPEAKER_00]: No, no disrespect to the mommy rocket, but truly this was going to be Sharika and Sha'Carri

[00:39:48] [SPEAKER_00]: running it back for a third time.

[00:39:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.

[00:39:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Only 100.

[00:39:52] [SPEAKER_00]: And Sha'Carri has won.

[00:39:53] [SPEAKER_00]: She's 2-0 at this point and got a medal, you know, from the other one.

[00:39:57] [SPEAKER_00]: So it's like now her pulling out on the cool, all Sha'Carri got to do is have the

[00:40:02] [SPEAKER_00]: best start of her life.

[00:40:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Her speed going to do the rest.

[00:40:06] [SPEAKER_00]: That's her top end speed is like nothing I've ever seen, bro.

[00:40:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, yeah, like man, bro.

[00:40:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Like all she got to do is get out in front of Shelly or get out with Shelly and she good.

[00:40:19] [SPEAKER_00]: Golden.

[00:40:20] [SPEAKER_00]: I would say Olympic record watch.

[00:40:22] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know about world record, but I will say Olympic record watch.

[00:40:26] [SPEAKER_01]: When it, when it comes to injuries, how do you feel about injuries as far as someone's

[00:40:30] [SPEAKER_01]: legacy?

[00:40:30] [SPEAKER_01]: So we saw that, you know, um, Marcel Jacobs gets, uh, gets an injury.

[00:40:34] [SPEAKER_01]: He will not bounce back from that during this time of this docuseries and he will never be

[00:40:39] [SPEAKER_01]: back in, uh, in the conversation of, for being the fastest man alive.

[00:40:43] [SPEAKER_01]: We also now know that Sharika will not be, uh, competing in this Olympics or whatever.

[00:40:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Do you feel like if you don't beat the best that you're really not the best yet?

[00:40:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Or do you usually have to beat the best when you can beat the best?

[00:40:58] [SPEAKER_00]: I feel like when it's your time, you take advantage of it because injuries, injuries

[00:41:02] [SPEAKER_00]: happen.

[00:41:02] [SPEAKER_00]: And I think Sharika still might be running the two.

[00:41:04] [SPEAKER_00]: I was running on that today.

[00:41:06] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.

[00:41:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:41:07] [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's tough because wasn't, wasn't it a, it wasn't an ACL injury.

[00:41:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Was it?

[00:41:10] [SPEAKER_01]: What was her injury?

[00:41:11] [SPEAKER_00]: It was something, it was something with her leg.

[00:41:13] [SPEAKER_00]: It was something with it.

[00:41:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Like her leg is a leg injury.

[00:41:15] [SPEAKER_00]: So I know they were saying that she pulled out the one cause she wanted to focus on the

[00:41:18] [SPEAKER_00]: two.

[00:41:18] [SPEAKER_00]: She say she feels good, but I know it was a little bit of hesitancy there.

[00:41:22] [SPEAKER_00]: So either way, if she pulls out like that, that shakes everything.

[00:41:27] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it clearly makes Sha'Carri the favorite in a hundred and now in a 200, it could go

[00:41:32] [SPEAKER_00]: whoever got the, whoever got it.

[00:41:34] [SPEAKER_00]: It is the Julian Alfred or Gabby Thomas or Sha'Carri.

[00:41:37] [SPEAKER_00]: You is going to be out of one of them three.

[00:41:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Now she pull out the two.

[00:41:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:41:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:41:42] [SPEAKER_00]: So like with Marcel, Marcel Jacobs, like I still stand on what people been saying.

[00:41:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Fluke.

[00:41:49] [SPEAKER_00]: I would say, I mean, you get you because he was already pulling out of stuff and blaming

[00:41:55] [SPEAKER_00]: it on injuries and stuff.

[00:41:57] [SPEAKER_00]: And it's like, nah, you just not showing up.

[00:41:59] [SPEAKER_00]: You got, you got the medal.

[00:42:00] [SPEAKER_00]: You just showed up.

[00:42:01] [SPEAKER_00]: And I feel like you don't want to be known for like getting your, getting your medal and

[00:42:08] [SPEAKER_00]: like, and running away.

[00:42:10] [SPEAKER_00]: You just disappearing.

[00:42:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Like you ain't really competing no more.

[00:42:12] [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:42:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Cause then it's just like nobody really remember, you know what I'm saying?

[00:42:16] [SPEAKER_00]: And it ain't like, and, and it's like overall, you know what I'm saying?

[00:42:20] [SPEAKER_00]: So like, he'll be a legend in his country, but like nobody going to really talk about

[00:42:23] [SPEAKER_00]: the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, like gold medalists.

[00:42:26] [SPEAKER_00]: If you got no allows out here whooping everybody's ass for the next couple of years, you know,

[00:42:30] [SPEAKER_00]: it'll come up in heights.

[00:42:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Kind of like old girl from, um, Bear Loose in, uh, the Sydney Olympics.

[00:42:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Lauren Williams was a favorite to win that.

[00:42:39] [SPEAKER_00]: And that white girl came out of nowhere and got a gold medal.

[00:42:44] [SPEAKER_00]: First gold medal for a country.

[00:42:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Never heard from again.

[00:42:47] [SPEAKER_00]: She competed a little bit and she disappeared.

[00:42:49] [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:42:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Like that's the only time you remember that.

[00:42:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Other than that, you know, the goats, Shelly Ann Frazier, you know, Elaine Thompson,

[00:42:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Hurrah, Alison Felix, Sonia Richards, you know, like the names of the legends, you know?

[00:43:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:43:03] [SPEAKER_01]: You really, you really put your legacy at risk when you refuse to run again.

[00:43:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, but like you said, those injuries will make it difficult for you.

[00:43:10] [SPEAKER_01]: I think, I think we about to look at the Marcel about the same way.

[00:43:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, ah, I think it's, I think it's a wrap.

[00:43:14] [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's a, it's hard to put the cap on that.

[00:43:17] [SPEAKER_01]: But as far as Sherika Jackson, yeah.

[00:43:20] [SPEAKER_01]: As far as I know, she might still run the 200 and it's tough for me to know that she's injured

[00:43:25] [SPEAKER_01]: because this documentary series low key was leaning into not only is she going to win the 200,

[00:43:31] [SPEAKER_01]: but she was looking at trying to break that record.

[00:43:33] [SPEAKER_01]: This record that was set by Flojo years and years ago.

[00:43:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[00:43:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:43:42] [SPEAKER_01]: She, no one's touched it.

[00:43:44] [SPEAKER_01]: No one's touched it.

[00:43:45] [SPEAKER_01]: But Sherika Jackson, I mean, she's knocking on the door of these numbers.

[00:43:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Every time we see her run into the front door.

[00:43:54] [SPEAKER_01]: So it's like, not only was she going to win, but she was trying to make history.

[00:43:57] [SPEAKER_01]: And so it's really tough to see that she won't be doing that.

[00:44:00] [SPEAKER_01]: But there was a moment where I started to question.

[00:44:05] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't even know if she's who I would even be looking at to win that anymore,

[00:44:08] [SPEAKER_01]: because Gabby top Gabby Gabby.

[00:44:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Gabby showed up.

[00:44:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Don't sleep.

[00:44:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Gabby showed up in this docuseries.

[00:44:18] [SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, wait a minute.

[00:44:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Hold on.

[00:44:21] [SPEAKER_01]: We might have a game here.

[00:44:23] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, Gabby Thomas from Harvard shows up and she is, again,

[00:44:30] [SPEAKER_01]: very different personality types than somebody like Sha'Carri,

[00:44:33] [SPEAKER_01]: who's a little bit more flashy.

[00:44:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Gabby seems a little bit more reserved.

[00:44:36] [SPEAKER_01]: She's very likable.

[00:44:37] [SPEAKER_01]: She seems very just smiley and happy.

[00:44:41] [SPEAKER_01]: But when she hits that track, they talk about, I think it's Otto Bolden,

[00:44:45] [SPEAKER_01]: talks about killer instinct.

[00:44:48] [SPEAKER_01]: What do you think about Gabby Thomas and her prospects to win in this Olympics coming up?

[00:44:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Gabby Thomas has got to execute.

[00:44:56] [SPEAKER_00]: That's all she got to do.

[00:44:57] [SPEAKER_00]: On a cool, the difference between her and Sharika is that Sharika got a better top-end speed.

[00:45:03] [SPEAKER_00]: But Gabby, Gabby in her recent race, she got out super late and had to walk down.

[00:45:08] [SPEAKER_00]: But the fact she was able to walk them down and steal across the finish line in this last race

[00:45:13] [SPEAKER_00]: and get first place when she was, like, in fifth, that shows she got the potential.

[00:45:17] [SPEAKER_00]: It's just she got executed.

[00:45:19] [SPEAKER_00]: So I feel with Sharika ain't there, she's the favorite.

[00:45:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Truly.

[00:45:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Julian Alford, I would say, will probably be second because Julian Alford a monster, too.

[00:45:31] [SPEAKER_00]: But Gabby is clearly the favorite at this point now if Sharika pull out.

[00:45:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

[00:45:36] [SPEAKER_01]: So we learn about Gabby.

[00:45:38] [SPEAKER_01]: We see kind of her story.

[00:45:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Like I said, she's very, like, she seems very chill for the most part,

[00:45:43] [SPEAKER_01]: very happy.

[00:45:44] [SPEAKER_01]: But when she gets on the track, she's a dog.

[00:45:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Like all the rest of these ones we talk about, these are the ones you got to be looking for.

[00:45:49] [SPEAKER_01]: We'll see that those are the Jamaicans' biggest threats to winning gold

[00:45:53] [SPEAKER_01]: and to breaking these records is that Gabby is around

[00:45:56] [SPEAKER_01]: and she's not going to be easy to beat.

[00:45:58] [SPEAKER_01]: So we'll see that even in this series,

[00:46:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Gabby and Sha'Carri go up against each other in the 200.

[00:46:04] [SPEAKER_01]: I think Gabby gets, like, first and Sha'Carri gets second.

[00:46:07] [SPEAKER_01]: And people start to ask, and Sha'Carri,

[00:46:09] [SPEAKER_01]: if she is going to be one day in the running to beat one of these Jamaicans.

[00:46:14] [SPEAKER_01]: But we haven't given Sha'Carri enough time.

[00:46:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Not only does a lot change for Sha'Carri before this,

[00:46:22] [SPEAKER_01]: but since this series, since the Diamond League this time,

[00:46:27] [SPEAKER_01]: oh, we've seen Sha'Carri running like we've never seen her run before

[00:46:30] [SPEAKER_01]: because by the end of this series, oh, she mops up the Jamaicans.

[00:46:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Sure does.

[00:46:35] [SPEAKER_01]: And the way she did it, bro, had me standing up.

[00:46:40] [SPEAKER_01]: I was watching this.

[00:46:41] [SPEAKER_01]: I was watching Netflix in the middle of the night,

[00:46:42] [SPEAKER_01]: maybe like one in the morning or something like that.

[00:46:44] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, just kind of watching,

[00:46:45] [SPEAKER_01]: knowing we were going to talk about this eventually.

[00:46:46] [SPEAKER_01]: And I've gone through all the episodes and they show Sha'Carri.

[00:46:49] [SPEAKER_01]: And I remember this.

[00:46:50] [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't even think me and you talked about when Sha'Carri

[00:46:52] [SPEAKER_01]: had started kind of faltering a little bit toward the world championship.

[00:46:56] [SPEAKER_01]: But we saw she got into the finals on time.

[00:47:00] [SPEAKER_01]: She got in.

[00:47:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Top two qualifiers from each heat.

[00:47:05] [SPEAKER_01]: And then you got to get in on time at that point.

[00:47:07] [SPEAKER_01]: She got in on time.

[00:47:09] [SPEAKER_01]: That gives her the furthest lane out.

[00:47:11] [SPEAKER_01]: The Jamaicans are in the middle doing what they do normally.

[00:47:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Sha'Carri ends up winning this race for getting in on time.

[00:47:19] [SPEAKER_01]: The first time it had ever been done.

[00:47:21] [SPEAKER_01]: And Sha'Carri comes out like a bullet.

[00:47:24] [SPEAKER_01]: It just smokes them.

[00:47:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Shelly Ann left in the dust.

[00:47:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Sherika left in the dust.

[00:47:29] [SPEAKER_01]: We see it's Sha'Carri coming out on top.

[00:47:32] [SPEAKER_01]: And since then, Sha'Carri is the one to beat.

[00:47:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Are you?

[00:47:37] [SPEAKER_01]: How excited are you to see Sha'Carri in these Olympic games?

[00:47:40] [SPEAKER_00]: I knew my girl just needed to heal, dog.

[00:47:42] [SPEAKER_00]: I knew she needed to heal.

[00:47:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, have you been watching her?

[00:47:46] [SPEAKER_00]: People from Dallas that know her have been watching her since high school.

[00:47:50] [SPEAKER_00]: I was watching her since college.

[00:47:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.

[00:47:52] [SPEAKER_00]: If you saw what she was doing at LSU as a freshman, you knew she was different.

[00:47:57] [SPEAKER_00]: So, the first, like, year going pro, it was, you know, it was the shakes.

[00:48:03] [SPEAKER_00]: You, like, in the pros, you run against these fast people.

[00:48:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Cool.

[00:48:06] [SPEAKER_00]: She got a little momentum.

[00:48:08] [SPEAKER_00]: And then, of course, you know, the drug stuff and everything, losing her mom and all that.

[00:48:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, she was just hurting, bro.

[00:48:14] [SPEAKER_00]: What I just wanted her to get better because the girl potential was there.

[00:48:19] [SPEAKER_00]: And, man, when that girl came back, bro, all Sha'Carri got to do is run her race.

[00:48:29] [SPEAKER_00]: And I love her coach.

[00:48:30] [SPEAKER_00]: I believe his name is Dennis Mitchell.

[00:48:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.

[00:48:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:48:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:48:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

[00:48:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Part of the world record, 37-40 to the U.S. in the 1992 Olympics, if I'm correct, that was in Barcelona.

[00:48:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

[00:48:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Bruh.

[00:48:45] [SPEAKER_00]: When it showed who he was, I was like, dog, he looked familiar.

[00:48:49] [SPEAKER_00]: When I saw it, I was like, oh, okay, cool, cool.

[00:48:52] [SPEAKER_00]: She got the right coach at Massa Energy because he taught you.

[00:48:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Perfect coach.

[00:48:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Perfect coach for her.

[00:48:57] [SPEAKER_00]: He went, she needed it.

[00:48:59] [SPEAKER_00]: And he also know how to make her contain that dog, you know, until she get on that track because she was shook.

[00:49:05] [SPEAKER_00]: And after that semi-round at Budapest, bro, I almost got rolled up at work for Cussing because I'm like, dog, what the fuck?

[00:49:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:49:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Girl, what are you doing?

[00:49:13] [SPEAKER_00]: What are you doing?

[00:49:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Right.

[00:49:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Bro, you not about to throw this away off of that, bro.

[00:49:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, no, girl, you done had a great season.

[00:49:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, come on.

[00:49:20] [SPEAKER_00]: And, man, when she lined up in lane nine, bro, they had that camera on her.

[00:49:26] [SPEAKER_00]: And she was staring down, and I'm like, she got a shot.

[00:49:29] [SPEAKER_00]: It's going to all depend on her start.

[00:49:30] [SPEAKER_00]: And when she took off, you usually see Sha'Carri slightly behind a little bit.

[00:49:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Then you see her walk up.

[00:49:36] [SPEAKER_00]: She was with them Jamaicans when she came out.

[00:49:39] [SPEAKER_00]: And from there, bro, it was crazy just watching her accelerate, accelerate, accelerate.

[00:49:44] [SPEAKER_00]: By the time she hit the 10-meter mark to the finish line, I was already screaming at work, dog.

[00:49:48] [SPEAKER_00]: I was in the back yelling, dog.

[00:49:50] [SPEAKER_00]: I knew she had it, bro.

[00:49:52] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm excited for her, bro.

[00:49:53] [SPEAKER_00]: She, she's transcending track in so many different ways.

[00:49:58] [SPEAKER_00]: She's Flojo reincarnated, bro.

[00:50:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, it's crazy, bro.

[00:50:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, Gail Diva is like, she's Gail Diva and Flojo together.

[00:50:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, the long nails are flashing this beauty.

[00:50:09] [SPEAKER_00]: And the, I'm going to talk that ish and all that.

[00:50:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Flojo might have not talked a lot on camera, but you could tell by what she wore.

[00:50:14] [SPEAKER_00]: She made people uncomfortable.

[00:50:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Because she was too, like, her outfits and stuff that she wore.

[00:50:19] [SPEAKER_00]: But could you beat it up?

[00:50:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Right.

[00:50:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, you got to beat her.

[00:50:24] [SPEAKER_00]: You ain't beat her.

[00:50:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Wreck is still standing.

[00:50:27] [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?

[00:50:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, mm-hmm.

[00:50:30] [SPEAKER_01]: And if you don't beat her, yeah, if you don't beat her, it don't matter.

[00:50:33] [SPEAKER_01]: And, uh, and I think a lot of people, they find that kind of stuff hard to swallow.

[00:50:37] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, you got somebody who is, uh, first of all, anytime a woman is outspoken, people

[00:50:42] [SPEAKER_01]: are going to be mad.

[00:50:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, and so she already talking and like, oh, it's track.

[00:50:46] [SPEAKER_01]: So they're not used to people talking noise and track anyway.

[00:50:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Because, you know, it's all, it's a very focused, like, tap-in game, like game where you're

[00:50:53] [SPEAKER_01]: all in your, it's about you and the track.

[00:50:55] [SPEAKER_01]: So a lot of times that outward expression really don't be felt across, you know, different

[00:50:59] [SPEAKER_01]: platforms.

[00:51:00] [SPEAKER_01]: But Sha'Carri in this age of social media?

[00:51:02] [SPEAKER_01]: No, we see Sha'Carri.

[00:51:03] [SPEAKER_01]: We see her and we hear her.

[00:51:05] [SPEAKER_01]: And people were uncomfortable with it.

[00:51:06] [SPEAKER_01]: But the thing that's going to make them the most uncomfortable is that they still haven't,

[00:51:09] [SPEAKER_01]: they can't beat her.

[00:51:10] [SPEAKER_01]: They can't beat her.

[00:51:10] [SPEAKER_01]: And I think this time around, I don't, ain't nobody touching Sha'Carri.

[00:51:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Not this, not this 11th.

[00:51:15] [SPEAKER_00]: She's 5-0 this season.

[00:51:16] [SPEAKER_00]: She's 5-0 and 100 this season, dog.

[00:51:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, I think, I think she ain't ran nothing slower than like a 10-8-5 or something like

[00:51:23] [SPEAKER_00]: that, bro.

[00:51:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, she's been running like sub 10-8s and shit, bro.

[00:51:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, the girl been on fire.

[00:51:29] [SPEAKER_00]: She has the fastest time in the world this year at 10-7.

[00:51:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, the only competition she got with Sha'Carri being out truly is Shellyann Fraser.

[00:51:40] [SPEAKER_00]: And that depends on Shellyann's start.

[00:51:43] [SPEAKER_00]: If she lets Shellyann get away from her, she gonna have to work to beat her.

[00:51:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Don't say she can't beat her, but she gonna have to work for her.

[00:51:49] [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?

[00:51:49] [SPEAKER_00]: But I feel like that's how you gotta, you gotta, you gotta go at the goat.

[00:51:53] [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:51:54] [SPEAKER_00]: You, you got to.

[00:51:55] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, like, the last, what was it?

[00:52:00] [SPEAKER_00]: 2008, 2012.

[00:52:00] [SPEAKER_00]: 2012, she got two from there.

[00:52:02] [SPEAKER_00]: And then she, Elaine Thompson Hero, I had 2016 and 2020.

[00:52:06] [SPEAKER_00]: So, here we are now.

[00:52:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Who gonna be the new one?

[00:52:09] [SPEAKER_00]: It's been ran by the Jamaicans for the last four Olympics.

[00:52:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:52:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:52:13] [SPEAKER_01]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:52:14] [SPEAKER_01]: It's time for somebody else to step up.

[00:52:16] [SPEAKER_01]: We might see Sha'Carri do that.

[00:52:17] [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's time.

[00:52:18] [SPEAKER_00]: It's time, bro.

[00:52:19] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm trying to think.

[00:52:20] [SPEAKER_00]: When's the last time an American won a gold medal, bro?

[00:52:24] [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's been Sydney?

[00:52:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, yeah.

[00:52:27] [SPEAKER_01]: That was another cool moment.

[00:52:28] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, when Sha'Carri wins the world championship in this docuseries, there's a moment where

[00:52:33] [SPEAKER_01]: you see Sharika and you see Shellyann walk over to her and they like, yeah, you couldn't

[00:52:41] [SPEAKER_01]: wait to get that medal.

[00:52:42] [SPEAKER_01]: And she said, it's your fault I had to wait this long.

[00:52:44] [SPEAKER_01]: You know?

[00:52:45] [SPEAKER_01]: That is true.

[00:52:46] [SPEAKER_01]: You can't get your gold medal because one person is standing in your way.

[00:52:50] [SPEAKER_01]: You know?

[00:52:51] [SPEAKER_01]: It's like all those basketball players in the 90s who were just like, can Jordan retire?

[00:52:56] [SPEAKER_01]: You know?

[00:52:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Is it time?

[00:52:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Like all the basketball players in the 2000s, like can LeBron leave?

[00:53:00] [SPEAKER_01]: You know?

[00:53:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Like those people, the people who are like right there, they would be great.

[00:53:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Hall of Famers.

[00:53:04] [SPEAKER_01]: But it's one person standing in the way.

[00:53:06] [SPEAKER_01]: And unfortunately for Sha'Carri, it's been one of the best sprinters of all time.

[00:53:10] [SPEAKER_01]: At least it's the best.

[00:53:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:53:12] [SPEAKER_00]: At least it's the best.

[00:53:13] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, on the world's biggest stage, like it's the Olympics.

[00:53:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Like you beat Shellyann Frazier Price.

[00:53:18] [SPEAKER_00]: And not only if you beat Shellyann Frazier Price, you run, what's the Olympic world record?

[00:53:23] [SPEAKER_00]: I think, I mean, the Olympic record thing is like 10-6 or 10-6-1.

[00:53:26] [SPEAKER_00]: She run 10-5-9.

[00:53:28] [SPEAKER_00]: You done erased Elaine Thompson's record.

[00:53:31] [SPEAKER_00]: And now the records are both owned by US again.

[00:53:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Come on, dog.

[00:53:34] [SPEAKER_00]: You've ended the reign of the Jamaicans.

[00:53:36] [SPEAKER_00]: She got it, bro.

[00:53:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:53:38] [SPEAKER_01]: That's one of the big stories about this.

[00:53:41] [SPEAKER_01]: That's one of the big stories.

[00:53:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think she can do it, man.

[00:53:44] [SPEAKER_01]: We also have to finish talking about Noah Lyles.

[00:53:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Noah, series.

[00:53:49] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, he's trying to double.

[00:53:51] [SPEAKER_01]: At one point, it does look like there might be some issues.

[00:53:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Now, we see at the World Championship, Noah Lyles ends up, I think he runs the 200 first.

[00:53:59] [SPEAKER_01]: And he goes in, no, he runs the 100 first.

[00:54:03] [SPEAKER_01]: I think he wins the 100.

[00:54:05] [SPEAKER_01]: And then there's a little time.

[00:54:07] [SPEAKER_01]: There's a little time between the next race.

[00:54:09] [SPEAKER_01]: And he has to get on a shuttle.

[00:54:11] [SPEAKER_01]: He has to get on the little golf cart and ride it across the compound or whatever to get ready for the next race.

[00:54:16] [SPEAKER_01]: He's doing his normal rituals.

[00:54:18] [SPEAKER_01]: We're all ready for him to do it.

[00:54:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Because all we need to do is, all Noah got to do is get on the track.

[00:54:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Because we know the 200 is his baby.

[00:54:24] [SPEAKER_01]: If he can just get there, then he should be fine.

[00:54:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Noah Lyles gets in a golf cart accident.

[00:54:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Were you aware of this in the real time, like when this was happening?

[00:54:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, because when it happened, I saw it pop up.

[00:54:37] [SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, bro, he's straight.

[00:54:40] [SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, nah, they were waiting on the story to build and everything.

[00:54:43] [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, no.

[00:54:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, come on.

[00:54:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, Noah can't get hurt, bro.

[00:54:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, this is like, come on.

[00:54:49] [SPEAKER_00]: That's the whole reason why I'm up watching this race.

[00:54:51] [SPEAKER_00]: I ain't trying to watch for nobody.

[00:54:52] [SPEAKER_00]: It was a watch for him.

[00:54:54] [SPEAKER_00]: So when they said that it was only like one person that got like injured and they showed the clip of Noah like kind of jumping up as it hit, I was like, whew.

[00:55:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Lord, protect them legs.

[00:55:04] [SPEAKER_01]: That's me good.

[00:55:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Too boring, dog.

[00:55:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:55:07] [SPEAKER_01]: We got too much riding on this man, okay?

[00:55:09] [SPEAKER_01]: He's supposed to carry the flag soon.

[00:55:11] [SPEAKER_01]: There's so much shit for us right now, dog.

[00:55:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, come on.

[00:55:14] [SPEAKER_01]: U.S.

[00:55:15] [SPEAKER_01]: U.S.

[00:55:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:55:18] [SPEAKER_01]: So, yeah.

[00:55:19] [SPEAKER_01]: So this actually, this was prior to him running the first race.

[00:55:21] [SPEAKER_01]: So he gets in the accident.

[00:55:22] [SPEAKER_01]: So he runs the first race.

[00:55:24] [SPEAKER_01]: It goes great.

[00:55:25] [SPEAKER_01]: He wins the 100.

[00:55:26] [SPEAKER_01]: But then we know he's trying to double.

[00:55:28] [SPEAKER_01]: His goal is to double.

[00:55:29] [SPEAKER_01]: And so they start to wonder, okay, does he bounce back from the second, you know, for the second race?

[00:55:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Because I think one of the other competitors had a piece of glass in their eye.

[00:55:39] [SPEAKER_01]: That could have easily been Noah Lyles, you know?

[00:55:41] [SPEAKER_01]: And so the fact that he was trying to get that done and also almost got in a freak accident.

[00:55:47] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I had never heard of nothing like that.

[00:55:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, how does a golf cart hit another golf cart?

[00:55:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, bro, just draw straight.

[00:55:52] [SPEAKER_01]: What are you doing?

[00:55:53] [SPEAKER_01]: You know?

[00:55:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:55:55] [SPEAKER_01]: I think Michael Johnson says at one point, like, you have one job.

[00:55:58] [SPEAKER_01]: And that was to not hurt the other people.

[00:56:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, how did you miss this?

[00:56:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, you weren't supposed to hit them.

[00:56:04] [SPEAKER_01]: So we see the tension is building up.

[00:56:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Everybody's concerned.

[00:56:07] [SPEAKER_01]: We don't know what to do.

[00:56:09] [SPEAKER_01]: And he's fine.

[00:56:10] [SPEAKER_01]: But could he be shaken up?

[00:56:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Because maybe he has an injury that he doesn't feel quite yet.

[00:56:14] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, there's a lot of other variables that come into that.

[00:56:17] [SPEAKER_01]: But Noah does what he does best.

[00:56:19] [SPEAKER_01]: He goes out.

[00:56:19] [SPEAKER_01]: He mops up the 200.

[00:56:21] [SPEAKER_01]: And then the stage is set.

[00:56:22] [SPEAKER_01]: He just doubled at the World Championship.

[00:56:24] [SPEAKER_01]: And now he wants to double again.

[00:56:26] [SPEAKER_01]: So Noah is running the 200 and the 100 as well, right?

[00:56:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm.

[00:56:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:56:31] [SPEAKER_01]: So he's trying to double at the Olympic Games.

[00:56:34] [SPEAKER_01]: And that's not an easy thing to do.

[00:56:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Most runners are not able to do something like this.

[00:56:41] [SPEAKER_00]: It's not.

[00:56:42] [SPEAKER_00]: And it doesn't.

[00:56:44] [SPEAKER_00]: The bad man himself, man.

[00:56:46] [SPEAKER_00]: I remember it was a big Usain Bolt fan.

[00:56:48] [SPEAKER_00]: But I can't deny it.

[00:56:50] [SPEAKER_00]: You can't deny it, bro.

[00:56:52] [SPEAKER_01]: You can't deny it.

[00:56:55] [SPEAKER_01]: There's a reason why nobody touches them records, man.

[00:56:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Because it's just.

[00:56:59] [SPEAKER_01]: He just leaves people in the dust.

[00:57:02] [SPEAKER_01]: It was moments where he looked like he turned around and waved to his competitors.

[00:57:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, he had that much of a lead on him.

[00:57:08] [SPEAKER_01]: But to Noah's credit?

[00:57:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh.

[00:57:11] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if we've seen.

[00:57:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Noah will pull up in the middle.

[00:57:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, before a race is over.

[00:57:16] [SPEAKER_01]: But he'll start waving to the crowd and stuff like that, too.

[00:57:19] [SPEAKER_01]: And that frustrates me.

[00:57:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Because you know what we talk.

[00:57:22] [SPEAKER_01]: You run.

[00:57:23] [SPEAKER_01]: You run through.

[00:57:24] [SPEAKER_01]: You run through the finish line.

[00:57:26] [SPEAKER_01]: All this show-goating and pointing and stuff like that.

[00:57:29] [SPEAKER_01]: What?

[00:57:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Imagine what your time would have been if you'd have ran through the line.

[00:57:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:57:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.

[00:57:33] [SPEAKER_01]: So I think if Noah is tapped in, I don't think.

[00:57:37] [SPEAKER_01]: You think he's going to do it?

[00:57:38] [SPEAKER_01]: What you think?

[00:57:38] [SPEAKER_00]: You think he's about to double?

[00:57:40] [SPEAKER_00]: 19.

[00:57:41] [SPEAKER_00]: I think he can double.

[00:57:42] [SPEAKER_00]: I honestly think.

[00:57:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Now, wait.

[00:57:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Let me say.

[00:57:44] [SPEAKER_00]: The only sleeper in the 100 that he got to worry about is this young cat out of Jamaica.

[00:57:50] [SPEAKER_00]: I forgot his name.

[00:57:52] [SPEAKER_00]: But Buddy got the world's fastest time this year with 977.

[00:57:55] [SPEAKER_00]: And he.

[00:57:56] [SPEAKER_00]: He look official, dawg.

[00:57:58] [SPEAKER_00]: So I think.

[00:58:00] [SPEAKER_00]: I think he's going to have some competition.

[00:58:02] [SPEAKER_00]: So.

[00:58:03] [SPEAKER_00]: It all depends.

[00:58:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Again, with Noah.

[00:58:05] [SPEAKER_00]: It depends on his execution.

[00:58:06] [SPEAKER_00]: If he has a great start, ain't nobody beating him.

[00:58:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Ain't nobody beating him.

[00:58:11] [SPEAKER_00]: But.

[00:58:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Two, definitely.

[00:58:14] [SPEAKER_00]: He's definitely getting the two.

[00:58:15] [SPEAKER_00]: But the one.

[00:58:15] [SPEAKER_00]: The one is still like is in his favor.

[00:58:17] [SPEAKER_00]: But that boy out of Jamaica, a sleeper.

[00:58:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Like for real.

[00:58:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:58:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Sleeper dog.

[00:58:24] [SPEAKER_01]: It was.

[00:58:24] [SPEAKER_01]: It was such a dramatic ending to a series.

[00:58:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Honestly, watching Sha'Carri and watching Noah end up coming out on top.

[00:58:31] [SPEAKER_01]: But learning so much about their competition for 2023 World Championship.

[00:58:36] [SPEAKER_01]: But again, like you said.

[00:58:37] [SPEAKER_01]: It's been a year.

[00:58:38] [SPEAKER_01]: You know.

[00:58:38] [SPEAKER_01]: It's 2024.

[00:58:39] [SPEAKER_01]: A lot of these big names that we talked about.

[00:58:42] [SPEAKER_01]: We last year in this Olympics.

[00:58:44] [SPEAKER_01]: You know.

[00:58:44] [SPEAKER_01]: And it's because.

[00:58:45] [SPEAKER_01]: And it's because.

[00:58:46] [SPEAKER_01]: You're only as good as your last race.

[00:58:48] [SPEAKER_01]: You have to be able to get here.

[00:58:50] [SPEAKER_01]: And you have to win other races to do that.

[00:58:52] [SPEAKER_01]: And if you don't win.

[00:58:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Then you won't be in the running.

[00:58:55] [SPEAKER_01]: So we see that Fred Curley will make it.

[00:58:56] [SPEAKER_01]: He's going to be in the Olympics this time.

[00:58:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Noah Lyles will be in the Olympics this time.

[00:59:00] [SPEAKER_01]: But I don't think.

[00:59:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Are we getting Zarnel?

[00:59:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Is Zarnel running this year?

[00:59:05] [SPEAKER_00]: I believe.

[00:59:06] [SPEAKER_00]: I believe so.

[00:59:07] [SPEAKER_00]: I need to double check on that.

[00:59:08] [SPEAKER_00]: But I believe.

[00:59:09] [SPEAKER_00]: I believe he qualified.

[00:59:10] [SPEAKER_00]: If I'm correct.

[00:59:12] [SPEAKER_00]: I believe.

[00:59:12] [SPEAKER_00]: I believe he did.

[00:59:14] [SPEAKER_01]: We might get Zarnel.

[00:59:16] [SPEAKER_01]: I'll double check on that.

[00:59:17] [SPEAKER_01]: But we're definitely.

[00:59:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Look.

[00:59:18] [SPEAKER_01]: We're not getting Marcel.

[00:59:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.

[00:59:20] [SPEAKER_01]: We're not.

[00:59:21] [SPEAKER_01]: And I don't.

[00:59:22] [SPEAKER_01]: And I don't think we're getting.

[00:59:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Are we getting Elaine as well?

[00:59:26] [SPEAKER_01]: No.

[00:59:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Elaine didn't qualify.

[00:59:27] [SPEAKER_00]: She didn't qualify for the Olympics.

[00:59:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:59:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Which is tough.

[00:59:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.

[00:59:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Because we spent this entire time getting to know these people.

[00:59:34] [SPEAKER_01]: But as we said.

[00:59:36] [SPEAKER_01]: You got to win.

[00:59:37] [SPEAKER_01]: You got to win to get here.

[00:59:39] [SPEAKER_01]: And so we have a completely different stage set.

[00:59:41] [SPEAKER_01]: For what's going to come up in the next couple days.

[00:59:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Because track and field starts.

[00:59:44] [SPEAKER_01]: This podcast is going to drop today.

[00:59:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Track and field starts today.

[00:59:48] [SPEAKER_01]: You know.

[00:59:49] [SPEAKER_01]: The time change over in Paris.

[00:59:51] [SPEAKER_01]: They about to start running.

[00:59:52] [SPEAKER_01]: And I am so excited to get into it.

[00:59:55] [SPEAKER_01]: So.

[00:59:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Just for the record.

[00:59:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Your favorites this time.

[00:59:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Noah and Sha'Carri.

[01:00:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah bro.

[01:00:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Like.

[01:01:33] [SPEAKER_00]: You know.

[01:01:33] [SPEAKER_00]: She's been dedicated her whole life.

[01:01:35] [SPEAKER_00]: She's been doing it since 08.

[01:01:36] [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm saying.

[01:01:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Like she's been winning championships.

[01:01:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Since 08.

[01:01:39] [SPEAKER_00]: So.

[01:01:40] [SPEAKER_00]: It's time.

[01:01:41] [SPEAKER_00]: You know.

[01:01:41] [SPEAKER_00]: And I think this will be her last one.

[01:01:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Either way.

[01:01:43] [SPEAKER_00]: She's going to come off with a medal.

[01:01:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Like.

[01:01:48] [SPEAKER_00]: But she's walking out with a medal.

[01:01:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh.

[01:01:50] [SPEAKER_01]: She got a medal collection.

[01:01:52] [SPEAKER_01]: You know.

[01:01:53] [SPEAKER_01]: They're like.

[01:01:53] [SPEAKER_01]: When are you.

[01:01:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Why.

[01:01:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Say you don't want to retire.

[01:01:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Like.

[01:01:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Don't you have enough medals?

[01:02:02] [SPEAKER_01]: I think that's the kind of winning spirit.

[01:02:03] [SPEAKER_01]: That you want from track and field.

[01:02:05] [SPEAKER_01]: You want that.

[01:02:06] [SPEAKER_01]: You want these people.

[01:02:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Who are hungry to win.

[01:02:08] [SPEAKER_01]: We know that.

[01:02:08] [SPEAKER_01]: When they are not running.

[01:02:10] [SPEAKER_01]: They're trying to make themselves.

[01:02:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Better runners.

[01:02:12] [SPEAKER_01]: You know.

[01:02:12] [SPEAKER_01]: They're trying to do whatever it takes.

[01:02:14] [SPEAKER_01]: To get the edge on the competition.

[01:02:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Because.

[01:02:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Like we talked about.

[01:02:17] [SPEAKER_01]: They're not just running against each other.

[01:02:18] [SPEAKER_01]: They're running against times.

[01:02:19] [SPEAKER_01]: A lot of times.

[01:02:20] [SPEAKER_01]: They're running against the ghosts.

[01:02:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Of other people.

[01:02:22] [SPEAKER_01]: People who are not even around anymore.

[01:02:24] [SPEAKER_01]: People who are not running.

[01:02:25] [SPEAKER_01]: They got to beat those times.

[01:02:26] [SPEAKER_01]: They got to beat people.

[01:02:26] [SPEAKER_01]: They've never met.

[01:02:27] [SPEAKER_01]: People from around the world.

[01:02:29] [SPEAKER_01]: If they clock in a time over.

[01:02:30] [SPEAKER_01]: In Jamaica right now.

[01:02:31] [SPEAKER_01]: The Americans got to beat that time.

[01:02:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Or they're not going to be in the running.

[01:02:35] [SPEAKER_01]: And you want to have that.

[01:02:36] [SPEAKER_01]: That standing on people.

[01:02:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Saying that you're the best in the world.

[01:02:39] [SPEAKER_01]: You want to come in with that power.

[01:02:41] [SPEAKER_01]: You know.

[01:02:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Saying that I'm first.

[01:02:42] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm the one to beat.

[01:02:43] [SPEAKER_01]: And so we'll see a lot of that.

[01:02:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Coming soon.

[01:02:46] [SPEAKER_01]: As we talk about.

[01:04:06] [SPEAKER_01]: You know what I'm saying?

[01:04:06] [SPEAKER_01]: We didn't come here to talk about all the field events.

[01:04:08] [SPEAKER_01]: We didn't come here to talk about the distance.

[01:04:10] [SPEAKER_01]: We're talking about who is going to be the fastest one to put their feet on the pavement.

[01:04:14] [SPEAKER_01]: And win this.
