Transcript excerpt

The world record for a man is nine minutes faster than the world record for a woman. You're telling me that in fifty five years of women running a marathon, we've caught up within nine minutes of a man? People just really say fucking anything on podcast these days. You realize nine minutes is, like, two fucking miles? She says nine minutes like the guy's fucking 50 yards ahead of her. Anyone who's ever run a day in their life knows shaving thirty seconds off of your time is fucking impossible. Regulate podcast equipment twenty twenty six. I'm gonna run on it.
