Michael MorganGUEST
Two, I met her when I was 15 years old in Munich, Germany, Frankfurt, Germany.
Michael MorganGUEST
My mentor at the time was Steve Prefontaine, a world-class Oregon runner who had just qualified with an American record for the Olympics in Munich.
Michael MorganGUEST
He gave me three tickets to the Munich Olympics.
Michael MorganGUEST
One for my dad, my new, this person I'm going to meet, and me.
Michael MorganGUEST
No, we're talking the
Anne GillaspieHOST
70s.
Anne GillaspieHOST
Well, you said Steve Prefontaine was your mentor.
Anne GillaspieHOST
How in the hell did you meet Steve?
Pat SherwoodHOST
I would build that character with average gymnastics ability.
Pat SherwoodHOST
average strength and exceptional conditioning, exceptional, terrifying Steve Prefontaine levels of conditioning, because that athlete is not going to get tired and most stuff in the real world is not lifting the 500 pound object once and then your day is done.
Pat SherwoodHOST
It's this miserable, demanding, low to moderate level of suck that just goes on for longer than you want it to.
Pat SherwoodHOST
And you may have some bursts here and there and some rest, but your astonishing conditioning would allow you to just keep going to recover quicker to fight through the lactate and that would be such a useful character.
Douglas MartinGUEST
else could you get in McFarland, USA? Okay.
Douglas MartinGUEST
So Without Limits, you know, Prefontaine, that's one of my top ones.
Douglas MartinGUEST
Chariots of Fire, although that's not a distance running movie.
Douglas MartinGUEST
But there's some other good ones.
Brett SaxonHOST
You always dress up as a winner.
Matt RishavyHOST
Prefontaine.
Matt RishavyHOST
So what I'm going to.
Matt RishavyHOST
Well, okay.
Kaitlin TosseyHOST
Yeah,
Michael DoyleHOST
it's Prefontaine.
Michael DoyleHOST
Prefontaine.
Michael DoyleHOST
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Michael DoyleHOST
Nike got him a really nice spot in heaven.
Pete JulianHOST
Guys, the what I was sort of I was leading the witness here and that what Jess did on that day and what she continued to do beyond that, winning more, you know, an Olympic medal and a world championship medal.
Pete JulianHOST
Remember when I said, boys, when I said that Jess, that first pro race she ever did at Prefontaine, she went with faith, right? I was
Jessica HullGUEST
third at the bell in my first ever
Pete JulianHOST
Diamond League.
DarrenHOST
To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.
DarrenHOST
That's Steve Prefontaine.
DarrenHOST
I'm Darren and this is 3 Things for Thursday, October 22nd.
DarrenHOST
Meta exceeded third-quarter revenue expectations but announced plans to issue non-voting shares as its capital requirements grow.
Gary JonasGUEST
My favorite movie of all time is a movie called Without Limits.
Gary JonasGUEST
It's a story of American runner Steve Prefontaine.
Gary JonasGUEST
Yeah, yeah.
Gary JonasGUEST
So there's two Prefontaine movies, one called Prefontaine and one called Without Limits.
Jack GladfelterGUEST
That is such a good question.
Jack GladfelterGUEST
Most people think, oh, you'd go the Steve Prefontaine route.
Jack GladfelterGUEST
And once again, that would be amazing to do.
Jack GladfelterGUEST
I think I would change it up and I would love to kind of like,
Pat MayoHOST
It's fine.
Pat MayoHOST
Remember when they released the two Steve Prefontaine movies? So the Days of Thunder gets to count,
Geoff FienbergHOST
too.
Geoff FienbergHOST
I'd have Days of Thunder ahead of Talladega, but that's different.
