Making Peace with Patrick Lange2:15 – 3:34

2:15

Boys, we talked about Patrick Langer yesterday and how we wanted to extend the Olive Branch.

2:20

We don't want to be enemies anymore.

2:22

In fact, we want to offer Patrick Langer honorary best friend of the show status.

2:27

He DM'd us yesterday after listening to the podcast.

2:30

He said the Olive Branch has been accepted.

2:33

He would love to once again be a friend of the show.

2:36

Patrick Langer, welcome back, my friend.

Greg HarperHost

2:38

Hey, maybe he'll agree to get on the pod right after he wins his last Ironman World Championship.

Greg HarperHost

2:44

No chance.

2:45

He's going to win.

2:47

He's our favorite.

Greg HarperHost

2:48

How dare you, Sam Appleton? How dare you talk about our boy like that?

2:52

We've been saying it all year, Appo.

2:54

We've been saying it ever since he won his last title.

2:56

Patrick Langer is the best Ironman athlete in the world, and he gets it right when he counts.

3:01

We never counted him out for a second.

Sam AppletonPanelist

3:04

No, never counted him out.

Sam AppletonPanelist

3:05

Technically, he is the best.

Sam AppletonPanelist

3:08

He's got the most titles here at Kona, so he technically is the best Ironman athlete of all time.

Sam AppletonPanelist

3:12

So,

3:13

you know, I don't want to write him off, but no chance.

3:16

Considering how in love with Christian Blumenfeld all of us are, we get regularly accused of glazing Christian Blumenfeld.

3:22

He has zero Kona titles, and Patrick Langer has three of them and two course records.

Sam AppletonPanelist

3:27

It's impressive.

Sam AppletonPanelist

3:28

It is impressive.
