Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh okay, Harry or we got a very special guest
joining us. She's fresh off for a second Diamond League win.
She's the fastest woman in the world in twenty twenty five.
She's undefeated in the one hundred meters in twenty twenty five,
and she won the one hundred and the two hundred
at the USA Track and Field Trials this year, and
she will represent the USA in Tokyo September thirteenth to

(00:21):
the twenty first. Here she is, Ladies and gentlemen, Melissa
Jefferson Wooden, Melissa.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
How you doing Dad?

Speaker 3 (00:29):
How are you guys?

Speaker 2 (00:31):
We're doing amazing. Let me start you with this. You
get off to a.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
Great start, you run high ten eighths early in the
season and you haven't let up. Do you feel you're
in the type of shape, You're in the type of
condition that you can go to the championships and maybe
run sub ten sixty. You feel you're in that kind

(00:58):
of condition, the right track, the right conditions, the right people,
because you're gonna have offering in that race. You're gonna
have to lou in that race. You're gonna have Till
Clayton in that race. You're gonna have your your training
partner to Carrie Richardson in that race, So you're gonna
have the competition. Will the conditions permit you with the
fitness that you're in right now?

Speaker 3 (01:19):
I think so.

Speaker 4 (01:20):
And I think really it just blows down to you know,
me at the end of the day, just continuing to
do the things that's been working for me with it,
which is uh, you know, showing up at executing my
race to the best of my ability. And I think
I definitely do think that is possible.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
I think you got a lot of confidence last year
when you got that bronze medal in Paris, when you
got that bronze medal, and you like, it's.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Just something about It's just something.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
About you, like man, But I can tell you weren't
satisfied training with the world champion and coming into this season.
What were your expecting, Melissa coming into this season, because
did you know you had this kind of you had?
I mean to back it up there, that may have
been a whole lot of women that back up ten
six with another ten six that haven't happened. You got

(02:11):
to go back to Shelley and Fraser Price. You got
to go back to Lane Thompson, you gotta go back.
There are a whole lot of women that have done
what you just did.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:21):
So I think the biggest thing for me being into
the twenty twenty five season is starting it out healthy.
I started training for Paris with a lingering issue from
the previous season, and also I had going just joined
Star Athletics with Dennis Mitchell and Shreif Fleuis, So it

(02:42):
was definitely like a lot of things happening all at once,
and it was like once we once, I really didn't
actually even get a good footing in yet, and then
it was kind of like, oh wow, like no, something's wrong.
Like it was to a point to where I actually
had to stop training with the group for about two
and a half months.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
So those days where I.

Speaker 4 (03:01):
Was like on the bike and watching them be able
to go out there and train and get after like
even though they were there were some days where you know,
they were dying on the ground. It's like I want
to be there with me, Like I want to be
able to feel that pain. I want to be able
to say, like, hey, I put the work in just
like everyone else. And then once reality started to set
in of just like you know, this is where you're
at right now, this is your situation.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
Let's move on from there.

Speaker 4 (03:24):
It was really just about getting while my physical was
getting back right, just making sure that my mental was
intact and you know, not losing sight of what the
goal was, and that was to make the team. And
so when the time came, you know, obviously we went
to Olympic Trials and our whole training group we swept
the women's.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
One hundred meters.

Speaker 4 (03:43):
I don't think that's something that's been done in an
look on at the US champions in a long time.
You know, three women from the same training group to
make the team. So that was definitely something you know,
I was happy to be a part of. And then
going into Paris, it was just about you know, I

(04:04):
felt like I really had a good chance to win
the whole thing. But it was also just in.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
That moment when I saw my name come up in
that last.

Speaker 4 (04:14):
Spot, it was you know, and it wasn't a ghose
goment in my eyes, because it had overcome much that
year to be able to have my name up there.

Speaker 5 (04:25):
So yeah, yeah, since the you've been you've been very
very successful. I just I just I've never been able
to run track, but all that you've accomplished, the big
stages that you've been on, I would love to know.
I know what the feeling like is coming out that
tunnel where people scream your name. I want to know
what is that feeling like when you get in those

(04:45):
blocks and it's silent. What's going through your mind? Are
you nervous, you have butterflies?

Speaker 6 (04:51):
What is that feeling like?

Speaker 4 (04:56):
So I think this year for me, like once it
gets silent, it's almost kind of like I get to
use that opportunity as for me to myself that last
minute pep talk in a sense of just like Okay,
you're here, now make the best of this situation or
this opportunity that that's being presented. And once they say

(05:17):
on your mark, I say, here we go, and that's that.
When the gun goes off, whatever happens happens.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
I think you gave a lot of confidence, Melissa. Look,
you beat the raining Olympic champ. You get the race
every day practice against the raining World champ. But I
think when you beat out the Saint Lucian, when you
beat her, it's just like you got ten feet tall.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
You like did this My year? I saw it.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
I saw when you beat her, something came over you.
And I don't know if you felt that before that race,
but when you beat her that day and you ran
the time that you ran, I'm old to something.

Speaker 4 (06:04):
Yeah, I think, honestly and truly for me, that race
was obviously it was basically an Olympic rematch, and so
I remember being in the tunnel and going out there
and I just remember saying, like, you know, they're not
gonna get you twice. You know, and sit in life,
you have situations where things may or may not go

(06:26):
your way, but.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
It's all about how you come back or bounce back.

Speaker 4 (06:30):
From those situations, whether it win in your favor or not,
and you learn from them and you grow from them.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
And so that's literally been my approach this year as well.

Speaker 4 (06:39):
You know, after I realized how content I was with
how the twenty twenty four season went with me, it
went for me. It really was about me coming into
this year and saying, Okay, well, let's see what a
healthy Melissa can do. And once we realize like, hey,
you're healthy, you're doing the things that you need to.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
Do, Let's build on that. Let's let's be the best
Melissa that you know you can possibly be.

Speaker 4 (07:01):
Because this is like, literally, what you're seeing right now
is something that I've always dreamed of doing, and to
be living part of that dream right now is just
you know, mind blowing, but also not very surprising too,
just because I've been putting in the work, like I've
been working my butt off, and so you know, when
I go out here, I run these races, and I
run these times and you know all of these other things.

(07:24):
The things that's probably the most surprising to me is
when you hear the history stats or how long is
it's been since something like this has been done, Like
that part of it is shocking, Yeah, But when it
comes to like, you know, the times that I want
to run, and the way I'm going about executing my
races and how I'm showing up and competing, like, none
of that is a surprise because I literally work for

(07:46):
it every single day in practice.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
When you talk, do you understand there have only been
two women to go to ten sub six. You got
flow Joe, the Great Flow Joe, who run ten forty nine,
and you got Elaine Thompson Harrow who's run ten fifty four.
You got an opportunity to do something special, and I
mentioned that great season that Shelley and Fraser Price had
where she had like ten she had six ten six

(08:12):
racist in that season. And then we mentioned Elane Thompson.
She went ten fifty four and then she came back
at the I think it was the Prefontaine of the
world and ran ran ten sixty one.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
And for you to I mean when I saw when.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
I saw the time today, ten sixty five, it looked
like ten sixty five. I thought today was like ten
seventy one, ten seventy two. I said, because you weren't challenged. Now,
I know you couldn't see all the way outside. I
think that was Clayton that was way outside in lane nine.
And I don't know if you could see her. But you, like,
you get out I mean you, I mean you pushed.

(08:49):
I mean, hey, MJ, you get out.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
Of those box.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 4 (08:54):
And that's really what the what the the race plan
today was about. You know, my coach just made sure
to tell me, like, hey, I want to put this
race to bed in the first thirty meters and so
that's what I tried to go out there and do.
It's literally that's how it goes for me. Every single race,
there's something, whether it be hey, when you get to

(09:16):
your transition, you need to hit it this way, or hey,
let's let's put it to bed early per se.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
So you know, it's really just that, right you.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
I'm thinking, I'm like when you go you go into
a race in Dennis, and Dennis was a great star
to himself. It's like when you say it's okay, put
it to bed in the first the first thirty Okay,
you get out. Now you get into your transition, you
do you look around?

Speaker 2 (09:45):
Do you?

Speaker 1 (09:45):
I mean, can you feel like, okay, I can shut
it down? Because the way you got out today, had
you stayed on the gas, you might have could have
dipped down to maybe ten sixty two, ten sixty three.

Speaker 4 (09:57):
Yeah, So what's crazy is I agree with you. I
didn't think that ten sixty six is going to pop
up on the clock today. I really just wanted to
go out there and be like, hey, okay, you know, one,
let's get an overseas PB.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
I haven't ran that fast.

Speaker 4 (10:12):
The fastest I've ever ran overseas was ten ninety two,
which isn't bad. But you know, obviously you always want
to aim for better and things like that, and for Americans,
you know, coming over we call it going across the pond.
You know that you have the travel, you have the
jet lag and everything that it's a lot of factors
within that.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
But I made sure to set myself up for the.

Speaker 4 (10:37):
Basically, I've made sure to set myself up to be
able to go out there and run as fast as
I possibly could today, you know, even if that meant
leaving an extra day early so that I would have
time to get to travel out my legs, or you know,
being a student in the sport and asking people around
me who've done this before multiple times, like, hey, like
what works for you when it comes time for these

(10:59):
long flights, Like how do you get over your jet lag?

Speaker 3 (11:01):
How do you recover from the plane ride?

Speaker 4 (11:04):
And things like that, So, you know, just being proactive
and not being afraid to ask questions, or you know,
wanting to learn from that as well, because I want
to be doing this for a long time, so I
always want to make sure that I'm putting my best forward.
And that's you know, utilizing all of my resources, doing
research on my own, whether it be asking some of
my training partners or asking people who ran in the

(11:25):
past and done this for many many years. You know,
I want to make sure that if I say I
want to be one of the best in the sports,
that I'm doing the things that I need to do
in order to be the best in the sport.

Speaker 6 (11:36):
You know what I'm curious. I having my daughter run
track for University Kentucky. She runs the four and eight
right now, serious at your level, at the highest at
the highest level, how does the training, how is the
training going?

Speaker 5 (11:48):
How do the training sessions go for us? When you
think about football, Let's say there's a game on Sunday, right, Monday, Yeah,
Monday is a film day.

Speaker 6 (11:59):
Tuesday. On Wednesday and Thursdays you're hitting it hard. Friday.
You take Wednesday and Thursdays and it's not it's not
as it's not not as hard.

Speaker 5 (12:08):
What's the word, what's the yes, it's not as intense.
You know, Saturday walk through Sunday, you play your game.
So when it come to tracking and you have a
race coming up, what do the days look like? Well,
how do you know how to train without peaking before
you actually do the race itself?

Speaker 4 (12:33):
Is like say, for instance, I'll even do maybe a
week right before we have like a US Trials so
the week before US Trials, we were like really I
call it being in the lab where we do one
day on one day off.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
So we'll have.

Speaker 4 (12:51):
A heavy sprint day which we're doing like blocks and
a lot of sprints training, so whether that be overspeed
training or you know, getting like close close to fat timing,
you know, just seeing where we are with flat foot
speed and then being able to take those two things
and translate it over.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
And then we'll come the next day and then have.

Speaker 4 (13:12):
An off day where we'll just do strides and things
like that, and we'll do that basically going into the
week of West Trials, and then when we get to
US Trials, it's just about you know, doing things that's
going to keep the body awake and alert, but also
not trying to do too much.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
So we'll do something like maybe.

Speaker 4 (13:29):
Like a one to fifty, but the pace will be slower,
you know, and we'll just work on technique and things
like that, and then we'll have another down day and
then what we call it pre meat, which is the
day before the meat starts, and that'd be the day
where we do our blocks and it's really just some
pop out blocks. We'll have about maybe two or three
of them and a nice little quick run or I

(13:53):
say quick run really a quick sprint like maybe sixty
meters or something like that, and then we'll hit it.
If the time is good, all right, shut it down,
take your shoes off, go cool down, and that's it.

Speaker 5 (14:02):
Do you know you know it sounds like, honestly the
way you guys train, you train a different phase of
the race, but you never actually the full race before
you actually do it.

Speaker 4 (14:15):
Oh yeah, absolutely, And I feel like that's probably something
that's definitely worked to my advantage a lot, especially like
when we have our sprint days, like we'll literally have
two different sessions, but they're, like you said, working on
both parts of the races. We'll have a pardon our Yeah,
like we'll have a part in our in our practice

(14:35):
where we do strictly blocks but we won't go out
but so far, and then.

Speaker 3 (14:39):
We'll come on the second half of the day and
do you know.

Speaker 4 (14:42):
Sprints something like that, whereas we can put together what
we did in the blocks, but also work on the
ladder ends of our races.

Speaker 3 (14:49):
And you know, it gives coach an opportunity to.

Speaker 4 (14:52):
Really see the areas where we're not as strong or
where our strong points are, and then how we build
off of those and then make those weaker points stronger.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
Right, Melissa, you was mainly known as a hundred meter specialists.
But when you go down there and you lay the
time that you laid down in the trials, they're like,
hold on, what happened to a hundred meter specialists?

Speaker 6 (15:13):
No?

Speaker 1 (15:13):
No, no, no, there's a legit chance you can double. It
is because look, the Saint Lucian, she ain't going anywhere.
That's your competition, you know that. Look Du lou Is Toulu,
she's a big she's a big race. And we know
the Jamaicans from Shelley Anne, Fraser, Elaine and Hero. They're
not Shelley Anne is gonna be there, Elaine isn't Shriika Jackson.

(15:36):
They are big, they are big game hunters. They show
up in the World and the Olympics. The Jamaicans show up.
But you know, Toulu, but your your competition.

Speaker 6 (15:46):
You know it.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
It's probably gonna be right next to you. Four and five,
y'all probably gonna be right next to each other. The
Saint Lucian, Julian Alfred, she ain't going anywhere. She's getting
a one hundred and two hundred. You mentioned Paris, You're like, damn,
I was injured going in and I got a bronze.
I'm happy, I'm thankful. Uh, you got If I'm not mistaken,

(16:07):
I think you got the you got the silver at
the the uh at the world right.

Speaker 4 (16:13):
No, So so I got bronze in the hundred at well, yeah,
I got bronze in the hundred in Paris.

Speaker 6 (16:21):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (16:21):
And then I got silver at Olympic Trials trials.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
Yes, So now how do you train because like the
premium race is one hundred, but you know you're like, well, hell,
I'm here. Our minds will be greeted, our mines will
be greedy and get dumble good our body as well.

Speaker 4 (16:43):
Yeah. So me and the two hundred have a love
hate relationship. It ain't never had no problems with me,
but I have problems with it. So I'm kind of
you know, we don't have as much problems anymore. That's
because I know how to run it now and then
I'm not Yeah, scared of the pain. Really, for me,
it was always the pain for in the two hundred.

(17:05):
That was the thing that I feared the most. But
after getting over that, like Hey, the pain is.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
Like laclic is lactic. At the end of the day,
it's going to be in Yeah, very right, temporary. But
I'm in shape. I'm in good shape.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
So you know you have you in phenomenal shape. Thanks
put to no no, no, no no. Look, I'm a
track officionado to go back to back sixty five sixty six.
Like I said, there haven't been a whole lot of women,
and we've had some great one hundred meter runners. And
I'm not just talking about Americans. I'm talking about from
the Jamaicans. And I say, hey, Marion Jones, and you

(17:41):
go back to we obviously they weren't running times back then,
but you look at Marion Jones, you look at Flow Joe,
you look at Evelyn Ashford, you look at Gail Devers,
you look at Elane Thompson and Shelley and Fraser, and
you look at Sha Carrie.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
To put together.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
Sixty five and sixty six in back to back, racist
that doesn't happen often. Yeah, So you're in phenomenal shape.
I just hope you can. I just hope MJ you
can hold on to this. If if you hold onto
this kind of shape, there's something special in store for
you in uh In Tokyo, because I know she's gonna
bring the best out of you. You're gonna bring the

(18:16):
best out of her. And with that track and a
favorable condition, and hopefully we can get something about one
point five to one point eight behind you.

Speaker 3 (18:26):
Come on, come on, come on, come on.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
I will tell you I'm gonna be hight.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
I'm gonna be ight.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
But in the in the two hundred with your kind
of speed, what and you say you were scared of
the pain, Because the two hundred with your kind of speed,
you gotta get out because you don't like like like
Gabby can run.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
The four hundred, she can run forty nine four hundred,
So she.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
Has that kind of endurance, that strength to come on
at the end, you like, I'm gonna do. I'm gonna
do a little, not a copy cat if you can't,
because I'm gonna get out here on you.

Speaker 6 (19:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (19:10):
And I think for me, it's always just about well
for any athlete, it's just you know, knowing what your
strengths are and letting your strengths play to your advantage.

Speaker 3 (19:21):
I know, because even if you go back and you
look when I ran in the Miami Grand Slam.

Speaker 4 (19:26):
That was that was my first I would say, like
I ran a two hundred in Kingston, but the wind
was like crazy. I ran into like a negative four
point seven win or something, so yeah, literally ran in
with a hurricane.

Speaker 3 (19:37):
In my face.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
So a hurricane.

Speaker 4 (19:40):
Yeah. So that like at that point it is just
about like nobody cares about the time, like just put
your head down and run. But so I say, Miami
was probably my first real two hundred of the year,
and I'm in a race with the Olympic gold medalist,
the Olympic bronze medalist, and then all these other women

(20:01):
who run the two hundred on a regular and I don't.
So going into that race, I was just kind of
like I won the hundred the day before, I ran
a ten seven. It was windy, but it's just like, okay,
it's still ten to seven, Like okay, let's go back
out there the next day and see what we could do, Like,
let's see what we got in the ten.

Speaker 3 (20:22):
There's no expectation on what I can do. Let on
the line and let's see what you got. And that's
what I did.

Speaker 4 (20:28):
I got out like my life depending on it, and
I got to about one like one hundred meters specialists
would do and faded. I swam for about the last
thirty meters of the race, And every time I go
back and look at that race, I'm like, man, Melissa,
you were right there, Like okay, bet you were right there.
Next time, it won't happen again. And when we got
to Philly, that's literally what I did. I got blessed

(20:51):
with the lane draw once again, and I just remember
getting out on the curve and when we came off
the curve, it was just like, oh, wow, you're in
the front.

Speaker 3 (20:58):
Hold it, stay in the front, like, come on, let's
do that.

Speaker 4 (21:02):
And even then I kind of feel like, not that
I held back a little bit in that in that
two hundred, but it was almost like I think she's
gonna come and catch me eventually. So it was kind
of like almost I was waiting for her to do that, And.

Speaker 3 (21:15):
It was like most of why did you do that?
Like why didn't you just trust your abilities?

Speaker 4 (21:19):
Why didn't you think that you were fully capable of
winning this race no matter who's in the race, you know,
And so going into trials or I won Philly and
then going into trials, it's just like Okay, let's just
go out there and see what you got.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
You know you're strong enough to do it. You know
you know how to execute a race. Just go out
there and do it.

Speaker 4 (21:38):
Like stop getting in your own way and go out
there and do what you know you can do. And
so that's what I did, and I'm happy, like twenty
one eighty.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
Four for me.

Speaker 4 (21:48):
You don't even want to know what I had written
down on my goals for the two hundred this year,
like to surpass.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
That, probably twenty two flat, low twenty two or maybe
twenty two flat.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
But I think what running the two hundred twenty nine?

Speaker 2 (22:04):
Yo, okay, and you surprised, so you win twenty one eight.

Speaker 1 (22:09):
But I think what the two hundred did do is
that it gave you the strength that you can hold
onto that one hundred meters. So I'm expecting something, really,
I'm thinking, I'm expecting something special. I'm expecting something that
only flow Joe has been able to do. I'm expecting
you to go I can see a scenario you go
high twenty one ten five.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
I can see that.

Speaker 6 (22:32):
Yeah, I can too.

Speaker 4 (22:38):
I like it.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
So, but let me ask you this, as when you
are mainly one hundred meter. Now you've into the two hundred.
How different is the training from the one.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
To the two? For us?

Speaker 4 (22:53):
Is actually not that different. We pretty much do the
same things we do for the hundred for the two hundred.
The way our coach trains us. It's literally like you
either got it or you don't. You know, it's one
of it's kind of one of those things. And then obviously,
you know when it comes to a certain part of
the races, like there's a there is an extra hundred meters,
so you know, it's all about when we're when we're

(23:18):
getting out of the blocks and what we do at
the point of the two hundred.

Speaker 3 (23:22):
And things like that.

Speaker 4 (23:24):
But when it comes to like whether if you're asking,
like do we do more strength endurance training for.

Speaker 3 (23:29):
That or you know if differently in that aspect of it,
it's not that much and not.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
It doesn't vary a lot, Yeah, right, because a lot
of because like like four hundred meters runners, they'll do
a lot of they'll do a lot of five hundred,
a lot of six hundreds. Two hundred meters runner, you'll
probably do a lot of a lot more threes and
for and for and for the one hundred meters, you
do a lot more one fifty maybe one seventies like that.
So it's interesting to see because they require different things.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
You know.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
Obviously the one hundred meters is all about it out
because I don't care ten seven ain't catching ten seven.
The first ten seven to get out the blocks. That's
the ten seven that go cross the finish line first.
So those days are you running somebody down. That's the thing,
that's that's the thing in the past when you dealing
with equal you know, you and Julian and miss Outfred,

(24:20):
when you guys get out and that's what you've been
able to do. I'm I'm like, I don't know if
I've seen a woman get out of the blocks like you.
I mean, it's almost like I'm looking at you. You
like the two foot like you push off like two
feet Normally you see that with men. So go ahead, go,

(24:45):
I want to know. I want to know what how
have you been able to like the way you thrust
yourself out of the blocks.

Speaker 4 (24:54):
So for me, it's all about it's almost this thing
to where like we do it every single day in
part so the minute I hear go the first person,
I think it's just like, Okay, how many first step
doing so you know, obviously it's about you know, you

(25:14):
get in, you get to the technical side of things,
so you talk about your stride land and all of
that stuff. But for me, it's really just about how
much can I get out of these first couple of steps,
how can I set myself up to separate from the
rest of the field. It's basically what I'm thinking in
my head and whatever gets me to doing that is
basically how I go about it. It's always fun, though,

(25:36):
to be able to line up with women who have
or who are just as capable of doing the.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
Things that I do.

Speaker 4 (25:43):
You know, as far as getting out the blocks, like,
I like getting out the blocks with people, you know, I.

Speaker 3 (25:48):
It makes me want to be better.

Speaker 4 (25:50):
It makes me like, if we can get out together,
I'm I'm now I now want to see how I
can get out faster than you like.

Speaker 3 (25:58):
That's the type of athlete that I am. I'm always
looking for ways to improve, always looking for ways to
be a better Melissa.

Speaker 4 (26:04):
And in doing that, you know, it comes it boils
down to uh, perfecting my craft, and I do that
every single day with my training partners. In practice, you know,
like we push each other past our limits sometimes and
in good ways obviously, but you know, just you know,
bringing the best out of one another. Is I feel
like why I've been able to do the things that
I've been able to do, Like you see me how

(26:26):
you say, like I get out the blocks the way
I do. I don't get out the blocks the way
I do if I'm not being pushed like that in practice.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
Right, And I have no disrespect, but I forgot about
the great the great breads. Uh, Darryl, Nita and Dina
Ashley Smith. I'm sure they're gonna, they're gonna, they're gonna
be on the line. They're gonna they're gonna have something
to say about this. But uh, Melissa, I made it.
Have you thought about I mean, when you were growing up,
did you ever did you ever did it ever cross
your mind? I would be I would be the fastest

(26:57):
woman in the world, not in a youth, not not
in Texas or Florida, Georgia. I would be the fact
of eight billion people. There's not gonna be a woman
in the world that could out run me.

Speaker 3 (27:09):
Yes, honestly, yes, like there's no lies to it. I'm
so dead serious.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
Yes, I mean, look, I'm expecting I'm expecting the goal,
uh in the one hundred meters I'm gonna be, I
will be, and I'm expecting a time. I'm expecting you
to lay down something special that that we that we're
gonna be talking about leading in the twenty eight because
obviously the Olympics gonna be in La and hopefully you

(27:42):
you know, you can stay healthy. But I'm I'm expecting
something special because I know you got it in you
and the way you run, the time that you run.
It ain't no, well, she ran ten eight, now she
ran eleven flat, she ran ten, she ran ten seventy eight,
and now she run ten ninety two. Now it went
from ten eight, ten eighty six, ten eighty four, eighty two,

(28:03):

Speaker 2 (28:08):
Hey, does she got?

Speaker 6 (28:09):
Does she got?

Speaker 1 (28:10):
She got a hurricane? Because the times she laying down
in the consistency in what you laying.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
These times down?

Speaker 3 (28:17):
Oh yeah, you know, consistency is the name of the
game in our sport.

Speaker 4 (28:22):
And I feel like the biggest thing for me this
year also just on top of everything else that I've
been doing, whether it be my mindset or anything like
that is just being disciplined and who I want to
be on those days where you know I may not
be feeling my best or man, I'm a little tired today,
coach for beating us up all week, Like make sure
to keep showing up for myself. Uh, you know, because

time because there're two. You get a lifetime of discipline
or a lifetime of regret. Now, the lifetime of discipline
is something that you can look back and you can
be proud of that. Regret is something that you can't
go back and undo. And so, like I said, I'm
expecting you.

Speaker 2 (29:35):

Speaker 2 (31:33):
Take care man, you man, I got man. I don't
know what to do. Nothing.

Speaker 6 (31:42):
You talk about track, where you be, a where you go?
You see when we talk about.

Speaker 1 (31:46):
Do nothing excite me? Football? Basketball, Nothing excites.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
Me like tracking.

Speaker 6 (31:52):
So see how you get?

Speaker 5 (31:53):
How you get with track and field. We talk about
soccer boxing, soccer boxing. If one more thing, soccer boxing, Yeah,
that's about it, soccer box.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
I don't know what it is, o Joe.

Speaker 1 (32:07):
I think it's the fact that you know being the
next track athlete and knowing what you put in.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
Because guess what, Ojo, you can't rely on nobody else.

Speaker 4 (32:16):
It's you.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
It's you, and then you can't be mad at the
results you didn't get for the work you didn't put in.
You heard what she said. I heard a guy the
other day. He said motivation and discipline. He said, what
happens on the days that you're not motivating? Are you disciplined?
Think about that on the day. Motivation and discipline they're

(32:39):
very different things, because you're not gonna always be motivated,
But will you stay disciplined?

Speaker 6 (32:45):
I still get that when you don't want to.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
Studying watching track and field for as long as I have,
and studying this young and watching this young lady run, Ojo.
I don't know if the chat realize how impressed what
she just did is. I don't think they understand the
gravity or the magnitude of her running. The time she ran,
what she's done, she's put herself in a very very

(33:11):
elite company, very very elite.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
She's fit.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
She's gonna have the people in the race to lose
from the Ivory Coast, the Saint Lucian, Julian Offrey, those
two great bricks, Darryl Nita and Dina Ashley smell Shakyrie.
Look they're gonna the women are gonna be there. I
believe the conditions, the favorable condition. If she can get
a one point five to one point eight and she

(33:39):
can get out like she got out today, she's going
to She's now the differences, O Joe, you got rhynds.
So hopefully she doesn't get anybody that. Hopefully she can
just like you know, just get because all you want
to do is get through. All you trying to do
is get through. You trying to you, trying to not you,
trying to expel as little energy as you possibly can.

(33:59):
Because now when it comes to final I'm emptying the
tank with the condition that she's.

Speaker 2 (34:06):
In the fitness.

Speaker 1 (34:09):
She can go, she can roll, she can wrote, she
can run low ten six or high ten five, which
only two women have ever done that.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
Elaine Thompson Harrow and Floo, the Great Floo.

Speaker 6 (34:20):
You look at the field.

Speaker 5 (34:21):
If you look at the field and she'll be running
against you, not gonna you might not have a choice
but to run that.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
Oh yeah, oh that that.

Speaker 1 (34:30):
That that that that that yout that that horn, that
that that long horn. Julian Alfred from Saint Lucia. Oh
oh oh come. I can't but I saw Ojo. I
saw her when she beat her something and she was
she was giggling, and she's like, yeah, it's that comedist

(34:50):
o Joe. That is the raining Olympic champ. She got
out catch him.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
If you can.

Speaker 6 (34:58):
That's Joe.

Speaker 2 (34:59):
She no, that's the type, that's the type of race
he's gonna have to run. Man, man, oh man, I
can't wait for the help. You come on.

Speaker 1 (35:10):
Tokyo U the September thirteenth through the twenty, right around
the corner, right round the corner. I'm just hoping she
can hold onto that fitness for another month. Hold on
to that fitness, hold on, because hey, that's gonna be
a race.

Speaker 2 (35:30):
Bet. I can't wait, o Joe, I can't wait.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
We got spt fud Hey, Jamaica, y'all want some of this? Yeah,
y'all remember what we did in y'all last time.

Speaker 2 (35:43):
I told y'all what we're gonna do. Gonna do it
again too. I don't know about the man Conshane Shane, whom.

Speaker 6 (35:54):
There was another, if there was another ten meters, know
it would coming to get him.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
But see that's the thing. In order for Noah to
have a chance, he's got to get closer to him.
He's got to be closer to him, because Noah is
a two hundred meter specialist. And see that was that
was you saying. You say, started out as a two
hundred meter specialist, and he was giving up too much ground.
He'd run out. He run out, He run out of

(36:20):
meters before the race was over. So now once he
got his start down, Noah has the endurance.

Speaker 6 (36:28):
This agreed to come get you later on in the race.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
Yeah, he's got to get out with him. He's got
to get out with him. He's gotta, he gotta, he's
gotta be closer. Now, you gotta realize, Noah hadn't run
a whole lot one hundred meters. He hadn't un a
whole lot of hundred meters. He hadn't run a whole
lot of anything this year actually, to be honest, but
the question is how, how fit now.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
He looked good at the trials, you know what, the
way he looked at Keady Beery.

Speaker 6 (36:54):
Kenny came in, Kenny came in thirdday.

Speaker 1 (36:59):
Yeah yeah, But he's got to be He's got to
be closer because like I said, Ojoe, nine seven ain't
catching nine seven nine seven can catch nine eight five
or nine nine. You ain't catching nine seven nine seven
nine seven. If he get out like that, like he
got out, man man, I can't wait for track and Field, man.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
Man, I get hyped.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
Terry McLaurin came up the pup list amid contract tensions
with the Commanders. Despite the contract standing up holding trade request,
Terry mcclurein will soon be practicing with the Commanders. The
team announced today that he has been activated from the
pup list. Ojo could Terry removal from the pup list
mean contract extension is on the way.

Speaker 6 (37:43):
Probably something is looming. They're almost there. It's probably not
where it needs to be, but the fact that they
think they are gonna practice is a good thing. He'll
be able to get two weeks under his belt. If
I'm not mistake, he'd be able to get two weeks
under his belt before he's able to play before he
was able to play in a live game. It should

(38:03):
be September. I'm assuming what September? What seventh maybe or thirteen?

Speaker 2 (38:09):
What yoe?

Speaker 6 (38:12):
That no, in a live game, a real game. He
didn'e missed, even miss the preseason Oh yeah, yea yea yeah,
yah yea yea yea yeah yeahs not going to play
Week three, the last preseason game.

Speaker 4 (38:23):
No, So.

Speaker 6 (38:26):
I'm hoping. I'm hoping.

Speaker 5 (38:27):
I pray once he gets paid, no setbacks, no injuries,
it's going to be so different.

Speaker 6 (38:34):
It's going to be so different. The fact that he
wouldn't able to go through training camp.

Speaker 1 (38:37):
And oho, you til the word ride out about mind,
I'm saying to myself. But I'm thinking to myself and
I say, I know your thinking.

Speaker 2 (38:44):
Man.

Speaker 1 (38:44):
I could not imagine not playing a meaningful game in
eight nine months, in my first game, in my first
real game.

Speaker 6 (38:52):
Is gonna be real that.

Speaker 2 (38:55):
I couldn't imagine.

Speaker 6 (38:57):
I wouldn't want that. I wouldn't want it.

Speaker 5 (38:59):
No, I would, honestly, I would tell my agent, Listen,
if we get this deal done, I'm gonna go practice.
If there's a chance that we getting this deal done,
I'm gonna go practice because I need people pushing, I
need people pulling.

Speaker 6 (39:14):
I need to be fighting through contact.

Speaker 5 (39:17):
Work, right, man, forget that, man, because I'm telling you,
the body would tear up. The body would tear up
trying to go from zero to a hunted without putting
it through that that rigor morod, that's what I'm gonna
call it.

Speaker 6 (39:31):
I don't even know.

Speaker 1 (39:32):
You gotta you, gotta you gotta condition your body for
the stresses that it's gonna endure during the season. In
order to run fast, you gotta practice fast. You hear
what she said, Hey, I wanted to be on the ground.
It's hard. Would you miss that kind of time?

Speaker 2 (39:50):
Won't?

Speaker 4 (39:50):
Joe?

Speaker 2 (39:52):
You're not gonna miss that kind of time. And just
pick right up. It's just not you.

Speaker 1 (39:56):
You sit and and and I agree with you. You
kind of like you just just hold your breath like man. Please,
No soft tissue injury, No soft tissue injuries please. No growing,
no quads, no hamstring, no calves, no adductors, none of that,
because like you said, oh yo, you going just like that.

(40:20):
You've been cruising, You've been cruising and then all of.

Speaker 6 (40:23):
A sudden, out the blue and what normally happens. Something
got to.

Speaker 1 (40:30):
Give yep man, but hopefully they can come to an
agreement real soon. The Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City
Chiefs couldn't make NFL. In Super Bowl history this upcoming season,
there have only been one instance in which two franchises
have played each other three times in the Super Bowl,
and that's the Dallas Cowboys Pittsburgh Steeters seventy five seventy

(40:54):
nine ninety five. After the Eagles faced one another two
or the three big games the Chiefs are currently they
have the highest odds to be a matchup for Super Bowl.

Speaker 4 (41:03):
What is that?

Speaker 1 (41:03):
Sixty sixty in February of twenty twenty six. This would
make the franchise of the second of their kind to
play one another on three separate occasions on the biggest stage.
To add, no other quarterbacks in the history, No quarterbacks
have ever faced each other three times in the Super Bowl,
something Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes have a chance to do.

Speaker 6 (41:29):
I mean it sounds good, but you want me to
tell you, coming out of coming out of AFC this.

Speaker 1 (41:35):
Year, you got to worry about winning your division. You
ain't coming out of nowhere, have you.

Speaker 6 (41:42):
Noticed the Bengals have been playing in the preseason, right.

Speaker 1 (41:46):
Yeah, I just want to make it all I know.
All I know is when l jackets on the field,
Cincinnati came out.

Speaker 2 (41:52):
I just won't remember. I bet when Al jack if
on the field, Cincinnati can't win.

Speaker 6 (41:59):
This is the Oh yeah, you think about the past.
I'm trying to understand why you think about the past.

Speaker 5 (42:04):
And this is twenty were in twenty twenty five. You're
telling me what the Baltimore Ravens did in the past.
I know it's happened this year history. The Cincinnati Bengals,
for the first time in years, have let the starters
play in the preseason. That's to let you know that
there's going to be a difference come Week one when
the regular season starts. So what the Ravens did last

(42:28):
year any years before that don't mean nothing and don't
matter when it comes to football season in twenty twenty five.

Speaker 1 (42:40):
Yeah, your defense still suspect team record after winning the
MVP in twenty sixteen. Here as we go, Cam won
the MVP in twenty fifteen. Twenty sixteen, there was six
and ten Matt Ryan wanted. In twenty sixteen, they were
ten and six and twenty seventeen. Tom Brady wanted. In
twenty seventeen they were eleven and five. Patrick Mahomes on it.

(43:03):
In twenty eighteen they were twelve and four Lamar Jackson.
In twenty nineteen they were eleven and five. Rogers won
it back to back years. In twenty twenty there were
thirteen and four, and in twenty twenty one they were
eighty nine. Mahomes won and again in twenty twenty two
eleven and six Lamar Jackson. Twenty twenty three there were
twelve and five. Josh Allen twenty twenty four will remain

(43:26):
to be seen what their record will beat.

Speaker 2 (43:29):
Well, look, look what you think the record's gonna be
The Bills?

Speaker 6 (43:34):
Yes, what listen, They're gonna be way They're gonna be
way above five hundred. I could tell you that.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
Well, ef the way to go out on the limb.

Speaker 5 (43:43):
If I could tell you what the Bills record was
gonna be, God, go play the lotto because I'm in
know the numbers.

Speaker 1 (43:50):
You don't have to be exactly, but I'm said it's
gonna be. They gonna be eleven and six, they're gonna
be twelve and five, thirteen and four, fourteen, three fifty five.

Speaker 6 (43:59):
I like WHATBM five.

Speaker 5 (44:01):
I definitely they listen, they knowing them and knowing Josh,
especially with the Chippy got on the shoulder coming off
of the MVP season.

Speaker 6 (44:10):
Yeah they might.

Speaker 2 (44:12):
I don't know why he got to chill LaMarsh yill that.

Speaker 6 (44:14):
That's a whole nother conversation. I'm not even gonna bring
it up.

Speaker 2 (44:18):
Labar said they got my m VP and and h
we should have left out of that would.

Speaker 6 (44:24):
Have been absolutely absolutely they gonna be good. I think, man,
the goddamn Bill is gonna be in contingent every single
year long as you got long as you got seventeen
at the Ham, right long as you got seventeen at
the Ham, there's going to be there's going to be
a team.

Speaker 5 (44:39):
I don't know what team is gonna be that's gonna
surprise us because the same the same people, the same
teams are gonna be in a in the hunt this year,
the same team gonna be in contention.

Speaker 2 (44:52):
Quarterback. They got the quarterback.

Speaker 5 (44:56):
But then they're gonna be one team that surprised us
every year that as a team that comes out of
nowhere that plays extremely well. And I'm gonna go out.
I'm gonna go out on a limit. You probably gonna
laugh at me. I told you how I felt about
the panthers, right, yeah, depends in the bears. I think
the pants in the bear are gonna surprise people. All right,
that's it as it people in the chat. You might

(45:19):
laugh at you, But when it happens, remember who said
at first the pants in the bears are gonna surprise people?

Speaker 2 (45:27):
Oh yo, check this out.

Speaker 1 (45:29):
A twenty twenty study conducted found that dogs are capable
of what scientists call third party social evaluation, meaning they
can observe how a stranger interacts with their owner and
use that information to make character judgment. Dogs assesses social
interaction and make moral judgment based on observation. They're not
just loyal, they're socially intelligent, with the ability to detect fairness, cooperation,

(45:54):
and intent. When someone mistreats their human dogs remember and
may respond with distrust or aboard.

Speaker 2 (46:02):
I like that.

Speaker 6 (46:04):
And the reason they call the man's best friend.

Speaker 2 (46:07):
That's right, that's why my boy loves And when people mistrust.

Speaker 6 (46:12):
Mistreat me, yep, I feel I feel you. I just
I would.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
Don't be doing out there like that.

Speaker 6 (46:23):
I would I would. I would love to get a dog, man,
But I just.

Speaker 2 (46:27):
You're going too much.

Speaker 6 (46:28):
No, listen, if I get a dog, he don't flat
with me, he'll be my emotional support animal. I just
I just can't. I can't.

Speaker 5 (46:38):
I cannot, I cannot. You tell me stories on night
Cap and I started crying. If you say the right thing.
When we first started to show, you talk about the dog.
I'm sitting here crying. You're telling about the dog that's
no longer here, that ain't had no relationship with me,
And I couldn't take it.

Speaker 6 (46:58):
You think I'm going to get a dog at this
age and he passed away and I'm supposed to.

Speaker 1 (47:04):
Oh hell o, No, man, I can't. I can't imagine
being without I can't, man, I can't. I can't imagine
being without one. O. Yo, all right, we're gonna get
you out of here on this one. Out your nice
time for our final segment of the Evening Chat.

Speaker 2 (47:18):
It's time for Q and A.

Speaker 6 (47:21):
I don't see how y'all do it.

Speaker 1 (47:23):
Bron Stu Baby Love TV said, oh yo, go the
time out. You know what Dylan Gabriel meant.

Speaker 6 (47:37):
But y'all, y'all, y'all just wanted to mean that. Uh huhm.

Speaker 1 (47:43):
Brigitte, Brigitte Maxie said, same coach Lanning, who plays golf
with Stefans kind, oh ya, don't play, don't don't downplay nastiness.
Plus he threw check downs, all downs, all he didn't
he didn't ball East coach cap saying, oh Ray Charles
could see he was throw a shade at your door,
and Skip would say, put your glasses on.

Speaker 2 (48:05):
I am.

Speaker 6 (48:08):
Me.

Speaker 1 (48:08):
Shack of Baltimore said, maybe the coach said that to him,
and he repeated it. Not eighty three made. He's been
in college six years, he's had media training. We don't
care if bod next was the quarterback. They share the
same coach, that same language rubbed off on him, rubbed
on him.

Speaker 2 (48:27):
He meant it.

Speaker 1 (48:28):
If your door called the press, media entertainers to their face,
world War three would have happened. But Dylan, they say,
next question, trade twelve.

Speaker 6 (48:40):
Then twelve down there in New Orleans.

Speaker 2 (48:44):
I take Kevin, I love CC twenty six.

Speaker 1 (48:48):
As he was taking shots at twelve, mister pick six,
how y'all, Kurt West said, Deacon Dunk, Dylan looked less
like effective. Dress looked like a less effective d Garcia
in that number five Browns jersey.

Speaker 6 (49:03):
Y'all, y'all.

Speaker 1 (49:06):
Said, are the Steelers people so mean? But they ain't
playing tonight? But they don't play, They don't play by
your door. Your old y na said, Are the Steelers
the playoff team.

Speaker 4 (49:20):
Here?

Speaker 6 (49:21):
Yeah, I'm not.

Speaker 5 (49:22):
I'm not saying that because it the goddamned quarterback. I'm
saying that simply because of the defense.

Speaker 6 (49:27):
If they play like I know, they could play with
the name they got on paper man.

Speaker 1 (49:34):
Absolutely, shoe, this question is specifically for you, he said,
I love y'all haven't missed an episode.

Speaker 2 (49:42):

Speaker 6 (50:32):
That's why I said, do something. She's she's not used
to you doing. I don't know what that would be.
You know, you know, you know what your your wife likes.
Do something you've never done before, some different.

Speaker 5 (50:42):
If you've been on tour that loan, that means you
come home with a little bag, you know, bringing something nice.

Speaker 6 (50:47):
Don't do them flowers. Don't do them flowers and none
of that bullshit.

Okay, let him ball out of the budget. First of all,
maybe maybe maybe have someone you know. I understand you
probably want to see the kid, spend some time with
the kid, but maybe have your mom, have a grandma
or family member take the kid, and y'all go good
and get a little stake.

much you miss her, and how much you happy to
be home, be back on American soil.

haven't been around her in a long time. She hasn't
been around you in a long time. She's gotten into

Speaker 2 (58:24):
Oh Joe.

Speaker 1 (58:24):
My questioning is, what would it be like if Michael
Jackson and Prince did a song together back in the nineties.

Speaker 2 (58:35):
They couldn't.

Speaker 6 (58:36):
Why not?

Speaker 1 (58:38):
Who gonna sing first? I'm just being real. Who's saying first?
They would have worn it out if I'm not mistaken.
There's a clip where Prince Michael Jackson asked Prince to
be in.

Speaker 2 (58:59):
Uh was it beat it?

Speaker 6 (59:02):
He said no.

Speaker 1 (59:05):
He said, first of all, he said, your ass is mine.
You're not finna say that to me, And I'm not
finna say that to you.

Speaker 2 (59:17):
So the song, the song ain't I Got You? I
Got You? I Got You? So again, who's singing first?

Speaker 6 (59:26):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 1 (59:28):
It was one thing to get them the compilation together
to sing we Are the World. I don't know if
you remember that night World. Okay, that's one thing. But
you're talking about Michael Jackson and Prince who's singing first
on the song o't Joe I Got You?

Speaker 5 (59:47):
Michael's a legend, Prince is a legend. You would you
would think two people that magnet two would be able
to work as one.

Speaker 2 (59:57):
Oh you think, and you think they? You think they
got that way of doing that?

Speaker 3 (01:00:01):
Huh?

Speaker 2 (01:00:01):
And that how you that's what you're thinking? Okay? I
didn't think, so.

Speaker 6 (01:00:08):
Do you do?

Speaker 2 (01:00:09):
Only?

Speaker 1 (01:00:10):
