Harry Is, Ladies and gentlemen, no, allow, no, 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:47.520 how you doing, bro feeling good? Feeling good? That race 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:52.000 leading into it, you ran your fastest time leading that 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:52.880 Diamond League meet. 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:54.560 I think you ran nine to eighty one. 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:58.520 You know, Kashane Thompson has run nine to seven seven, 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:01.680 and everybody's talking that's the man to beat, that's the 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:05.200 man to beat. And you had never run sub nine 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:08.080 to eight to run it in the finals when you 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:09.679 absolutely had. 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:09.960 To have it. 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:12.920 Tell me what was your strategy going into that race 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:14.679 and how were you able to pull it off? 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:17.840 To be honest, I have many strategies. They all kind 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.840 of you know, were thrown out the window. The closer 0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:24.480 and closer we got to the finals. You know, in 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:26.519 the first round, I'm like, okay, you know, I'm gonna 0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:29.080 work on my first sixty. I'm gonna get out. But 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:31.760 you know, you know I have add so my brain 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:33.880 is working on overdrive. It's like, well, we could we 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:36.640 could get out easy and then hit it hard, or 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:38.560 we can get it hard and then shut it down, 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:40.360 or we could run fast all the way. And the 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:43.480 problem was I thought too much and then I underestimated 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:46.200 my competition. It's like, nope, seek now you had to 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:48.240 you messed up. I'm like, all right, all right, I 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:50.360 need to call my brain down. I needed to get 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:52.880 it set on one goal. So we get to the semifinals. 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:57.280 Now I'm like, all right, aggression, mindset, power, everything like that. 0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:59.839 And it produced, you know, a really good time eighty three. 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:02.640 You know, it tied again my second past the time 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:05.760 which was my pr before London. So I'm like, all right, 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:07.840 you know, I'm good. I'm good, but you know I 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:09.560 feel I can go even faster. You know, I didn't 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:11.440 want to get beat you know, so here I am 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:13.840 coming getting second in the semis. I'm like, you know 0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:16.479 what's going on. So my my therapist calls me and 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:20.599 she's like, you're running with aggressing. You're running with a Noah. 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:24.640 That is not you. And I'm like, okay, fair enough 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:27.479 that that's not me. You know that that's an older 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:29.560 way of thinking. That's just not how I run. It's like, 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:32.760 you need to run free, need to run with no pressure. 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:36.240 Just go out there and run. And I'm like, all right, cool, 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:37.680 that's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna go out there 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:39.599 and I'm gonna just run. And she said, if you 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:42.880 control the crowd, you control the race. And I know 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:44.960 I'm like, well, shoot, that's that's how I do. I'm 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:46.400 gonna show me. That's that's what I do. You know, 0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:48.480 all I gotta do is be new. That's all that takes. 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:50.720 I'm gonna win the race. We get you know, we're 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:52.479 getting out there, I'm just like, just be me, Just 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:54.720 be me, Just be me. We get out there and 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:56.640 you know, they're doing the intros and you know, Kashane 0:04:56.720 --> 0:05:00.360 comes down, Kashane he ends up, yeah, and I'm like, oh, 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:01.839 hold on, that's that's me. 0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:03.040 That's what I need. 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:07.200 But I didn't hold them for it. I liked it though, 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:10.280 because I love to see more personalities come up than 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:13.680 just look at the camera say hi, walk out and 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:15.839 it's like, nah, Noah, bring that energy, like get me 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:18.960 excited to run. So you know, there's another YouTube video 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:21.200 that NBC put out where it's like you can see 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:22.599 us in the back of the car room, you know, 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:25.039 Fred and on the side, you know, banging on the wall. 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:25.920 It's like, let's go. 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:26.479 You know. 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:29.520 Case Shane's doing is yelling. I'm over here singing dreams 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:32.120 the nightmarees. I'm like, yeah, this this is an Olympic final. 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:34.520 This is an Olympic finals. So you know, I go out. 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:37.240 I'm jumping around, I'm running past the cameras, I'm yelling 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:39.440 at the crowd and they over here like yeah excited. 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:41.160 I'm like, yeah, this is this is my race now. 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:43.000 And you know, from that point on, it was just 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:45.760 repeating you know, you know, God got me, God got me, 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:48.719 got me because at this point I've done everything that 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:51.000 I need to do to win this race. Everything that 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:53.520 I needed to do has been done in months in advance. 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:54.680 You know, we're already here. 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:54.840 Now. 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:57.080 It's just a believing in myself that it's gonna get done. 0:05:57.320 --> 0:06:00.400 And it's not about running fast times. It's about running 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:04.960 to win. The times will come when you run to win. No, 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:07.280 I think you got a lot of pushback. You run 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:11.080 the World Championship last year and unprompted, you said, you 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:13.880 see these hats and they have World champions on it, 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:17.320 which we've always called the basketball players. We've always called 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:18.000 the NBA. 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:21.240 The NFL, the Super Bowl champ we've always called MLB, 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:24.760 we've always called the World champs. And I think that's 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:26.800 where a lot of the blowbacks, because it seemed like 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:30.520 one of America's best athletes were taking another was taken 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:34.400 a shot at some of the America's best athletes. And 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:36.120 I think it kind of put you under the eye 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:39.080 because then you know, basketball players said what they said. 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:41.800 Some football players chime then also, and then for the 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:45.120 first time I actually saw some of these athletes like 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:47.839 openly rooting against you. I mean you might not. I 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:50.800 mean something you were probably never seen another country. You're 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:54.400 not going to see the Dutch, somebody from Dutch rooting 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:58.679 against Fimka, a rooting against our Carston Needs from Norway 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:01.760 or Inger Britsin. We're not gonna see that. Do you 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:04.640 think you brought some of this on yourself with that comment, 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:07.600 or what were you open to accomplish by making that comment. 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:10.280 I think the last question that you asked, what was 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:12.880 I trying to accomplish by making the comment, is the 0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:17.880 most important one. Everybody sees the clip, everybody sees the thumb. Now, 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:22.680 everybody sees the sixteen seconds. But did anybody decide to 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:26.120 ask what's the question that he that was asked to me? 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:29.640 The question that was asked to me is how do 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:32.720 you feel knowing that when you go back to your 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:36.960 own country? Unlike these other countries that celebrate their athletes 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:42.640 on such a humongous stage, when Tobojo won his gold medal, 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:45.720 he went back to a stadium filled with thirty thousand 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:50.520 people celebrating. Yes, when I showed up back home on 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:54.200 my flight, of course some people recognized me, and I'm 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:58.320 very thankful for that. There was no thirty thousand people. 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:02.600 There was no animal driver ready to take me home, 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:07.280 there was no bus waiting. If I had my mom, 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:09.800 I had my pops and they were ready to take 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:11.240 me home, and I was ready to go to bed. 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:15.040 That was none of that. That was none of that, 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:22.720 But that the difference. I can understand the difference because 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:25.840 we have a different way in America of seeing our sports. 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:29.000 The problem that I had was you were given the 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:32.600 title of a world champion the people who weren't facing 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:36.120 the world. That's where I drew the line and said, 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:39.280 that's hurtful because you already have those but you're giving 0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:42.480 the title the people who aren't doing that. Nothing wrong 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:48.640 with being They are great here, they just didn't have 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:52.960 the title. Is NICOLEA Jokic one of the best players 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:53.360 in the world. 0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:58.920 I'm gonna be outside of that, is okay, Luca Luka, 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:02.400 Doncic ah, is he not one of the okay? 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:07.559 Jannisathaumpo, Yes, he's okay. What's the going are they? They're great, 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:09.560 they're great players, great players. 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:12.280 But they're world players. They're not from America. And the 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:14.400 problem that you're going to run into, Noah, is that 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:18.920 Botswana doesn't have a whole lot of athletes to celebrate 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:22.559 as opposed to Americans. If you look at probably Kenya 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:27.000 and Ethiopia and Sedaan in some of these other countries, 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:31.440 the Dutch, the North Norwegian, we got NBA, we got MLB, 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:35.720 we got football, we got baseball and so yeah, teams 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:39.320 they have parades. Nobody is getting for the most part, 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:41.920 even Michael Phelps. I don't know if they did they 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:43.520 have how many people showed up at M and T. 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:45.839 I don't know if Michael Felts were the eight goals, 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:47.920 I don't know if he had thirty thousand show up. 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:50.320 I know they might have had a big contingent cheering 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:50.720 him on. 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:53.920 I just think that the difference is Noah is that 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:55.600 in a sport, in a in a in a country 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:59.240 like Botswana, or you're talking about a country, he's their hero. 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:04.280 He is he is to both Swanna, he's Lebron James. Yeah, 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:05.400 that's what he is to both. 0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:10.120 Smart Yeah, I agree, Uh. 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:13.120 You saying both what he is to Jamaica Peeve Peeve? 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:14.840 He is there Michael. 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:15.520 Jordan's I agree. 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:16.000 I agree. 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:19.480 Michael Jordan went Chicago, they showed out for the parade, 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:21.960 but but probably when he went back to Wilmington where 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:24.960 he was from, ain't no thirty thousand show up for Yeah? 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:28.599 No, I agree. No, I agree one hundred percent that 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:33.400 I'm not expecting that. I'm not expecting the parade. I'm 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:37.760 just showing that the difference of how our sport is shown, 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:40.679 and because the question that was asked again was how 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.120 does it feel knowing that when I go back home 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:46.000 it's not with somebody like to Bojo's getting when he 0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:46.520 goes home. 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:49.160 And again, I know what it is. 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:51.000 I know what it is. I know we have you know, 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:55.520 football and basketball, baseball, golf, those are all above my sport. 0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:56.079 I know that. 0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:58.679 I'm cool with that. Of course I want to make 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:03.120 that better, but I understand that. Again, the only problem 0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:06.920 I had was you have world champions, but you're giving 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:12.000 the title to people who aren't facing the world. Yeah, 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:14.480 and you're giving them the title of world champion. That's 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:15.200 the only thing. 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:17.360 No, can you provide some context. 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:20.560 There's this Time magazine story that came out that revealed 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:23.400 that while you were negotiating your contract with Adidas, they 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:26.760 offered you an invite to a shoe release for Anthony Edwards. 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:31.240 And I think everybody's read the quote quote. Can you 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:32.520 provide context? 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:34.079 Yeah? But what transpired? 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:36.560 I mean, look, we don't need to get into negotiations, 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:39.440 but what transpired is what's being reported. 0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:41.280 How accurate is that? 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:41.880 So? 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.560 What what was going on at the time? I was 0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:48.000 in negotiations for over a year with Adidas to get 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:52.880 to get the contract, them offering me, you know, to 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:55.400 go to ants for shoe release. Who had nothing to 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:57.560 do with the contract. They just thought it would be 0:11:57.600 --> 0:11:59.320 cool that I would show up as one of their 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:03.319 Adidas act. Unfortunately, they agree for it very late. They 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:06.800 asked for it probably about two weeks in advance, and 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:09.920 I was already scheduled to walk in the Hugo Boss 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:12.800 Show in Milan, which was a day and a half 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:17.720 before his shoe release. So at first we were trying 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:19.920 to figure out ways that we can get there, and 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:22.000 it was like, yeah, this this, this isn't good. This 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:23.840 isn't gonna work. There's no way that I'd be able 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:26.520 to walk and then get on the flight and have 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:28.640 energy enough to be able to go to this Evan 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:31.120 because it wasn't just the shoe release. They were also gonna, 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:32.960 you know, have us go to a little baby concert 0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:35.000 and we were gonna be just signed. It was gonna 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:36.320 be a lot. It was gonna be a lot, and 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:40.800 I was already drained from you know, flying over, already 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:43.480 doing the fashion shows, doing the walks, you know, going 0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:45.720 to other advents. You know, I was already drowned like this, 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:47.679 there's no way that I'd be able to physically do this. 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:51.760 Well, I know, I agree with you flying overseas and 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:54.240 then it's someone that's flown overseas and then come back 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:56.880 you kind of jet lag, but you probably shouldn't lift it? 0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:57.160 Is that? 0:12:57.400 --> 0:12:59.600 Is that the other stuff where you get into trouble 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:02.320 were people is picking apart what you say it is 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:05.040 because like, oh no, I'm the world champ and he's 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:08.280 getting this and you have the wherewithal the forward thinking 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:11.280 to see that he's going to be special, and why 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:12.640 can't you guys see that with me? 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:13.280 Now? 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:17.880 I will say, being very vulnerable in this moment, I 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:22.680 felt very unheard. At that moment with Adidas, I felt 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:25.680 very unheard and we and and to give an example, 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:28.360 people do a lot of things. What do you do 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:30.440 when you feel on herd? You try to shout louder yes, 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:34.040 And I felt that I have had many conversations trying 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:38.960 to shout and it hadn't gotten through right. And unfortunately 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:41.000 that was one of my moments where I felt I 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:44.520 had to shout to even get them to look my way. 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:49.320 Okay in that time article, because they asked me if 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:52.640 I wanted to take it out, and I decided I 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:55.480 was not going to because I had to stand on 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:58.520 my decision. At that moment. I felt that I had 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:04.200 to shout to get even a conversation about what I 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:07.160 wanted to happen or what was going on at that point. 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:09.760 I mean, that's that's to be to move forward. 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:15.920 Could it be handled? Probably? Was there more ways to 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:19.800 do it, probably, But in that moment I felt that 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:24.000 I had taken so many steps in other ways that 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:25.440 I had to shout at this moment. 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:30.320 Do you regret your decision not to have that removed 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:31.040 from the article? 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:36.720 I don't believe so at the moment. This conversation could 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:38.400 be had in a year and I could have a 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:42.280 different answer at this moment. I do not feel so, 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:46.480 because I still still. If I did not shout at 0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:49.360 that moment, I would not have had the preamble to 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:52.680 oh he is serious. And when I said it at 0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:55.320 the Olympics, they knew it was still on my heart. 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:57.640 In track and field, there's only been two men that's 0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:00.239 ever had a shoot Michael Johnson and you saying. 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:03.680 Two. Yeah. 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:05.720 Michael Johnathan had the world record in one hundred and 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:08.320 the two hundred and he don't know anything but gold medals. 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:10.680 I think he's a four time world champ in the 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:13.440 four hundred, two time world champ in the two hundred, 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:16.600 he's a two time champ and the four and he's 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:18.840 a one time champ in the two hundred. 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:21.880 And you say, I just say you saying boat, I 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:22.320 don't need to. 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:28.360 Say anything else. Why do you believe that you deserve 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:31.680 to be in that category? With those guys looking at 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:35.280 their accomplishments, not to say you're not done yet, but 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:38.760 looking at their accomplishment accomplishments, looking at yours, Why did 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:40.560 no allows believe he deserves to shoot? 0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:43.200 The reason I believe it is twofold one. We look 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:47.720 at Michael Johnson. Michael Johnson, he is a He's a 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:51.000 track guy, through and through. That's all. He's track and 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:53.680 he loves track, and that's what he decided his lane 0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:56.360 was going to be. I don't feel that in his 0:15:56.520 --> 0:16:01.280 time period, we had the social media, we had the marketing, 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:05.280 the self marketing to be able to push it forward. 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:07.840 Of course he had Nike, and Nike was doing very well, 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:12.120 but they wanted to keep it. You know, I don't 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:14.480 think that they really wanted to keep pushing it, and 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:16.680 I don't know if Michael Johnson wanted to do the 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:19.760 work or not to market it as well as No, 0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:22.720 I don't know how much they had in their contract 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:26.920 to keep that shoe alive. That's where I'm going to 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:29.200 leave it with that. The time period wasn't right with 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:35.240 you saying both the CEO that actually gave the bolt 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:37.920 his shoe is now what it did is. And I've 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:42.640 had conversations and I think you saying was very excited 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:45.640 in the moment, and then he got excited about something 0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:48.400 else when it was time to do you know, the 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:52.480 underground work, the marketing, the commercials and stuff like that, 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:57.120 and that scared a lot of companies I think in 0:16:57.200 --> 0:17:04.480 that moment. Also you saying is Jamaican. The marketing in 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:09.000 the US is different. I feel in the US is 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:12.399 it turns out when it comes to marketing, entertainment and 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:15.159 marketing is the US is bread and butter. We know 0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:18.239 how to do that, like that's just our thing. So 0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:20.960 now that I'm an American in a time period where 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:24.840 it's self, marketing is very popular and it's very you know, 0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:29.720 it's strong. You know, everybody wants to do it. Everybody's 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:31.960 looking at it. They want the brand, They want the identity. 0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:36.560 You know, a person's identity is more marketed sometimes than 0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:40.160 a brand at times, and now we see them as brands. 0:17:42.440 --> 0:17:45.159 I know that I can do the work, I know 0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:47.239 that I can get the metals. But at the end 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:50.920 of the day, I think that it comes down to guys. 0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:54.000 You now have the title of the world's fastest man. 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:56.760 What do you do with that title? You tell them, 0:17:57.119 --> 0:18:00.240 don't you want to have the shoes of the fat 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:02.560 world's fastest man. Don't you want to put those shoes 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:04.920 on your feet. I'm wearing the same shoes as the 0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:07.480 world's fastest man. It's gonna make me so fast. It's 0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:10.399 the same thing, but the shoes. But the shoes that 0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:13.480 the world fastest man wears track spikes. The only wears 0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:18.439 track spikes on the track. He trains in tennis shoes, 0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:21.800 and we am out he's in tennis shoes. And when 0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:24.160 people go out and run their goons, they wear tennis shoes. 0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:26.200 And when you're in the gym, you wear tennis shoes. 0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:30.280 Guess what you're wearing tennis shoes. Everybody wears tennis shoes. 0:18:31.040 --> 0:18:33.400 And the only reason that you don't see more marketing 0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:37.840 for tennis shoes and individual runners is because they just 0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:38.520 haven't done it. 0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:41.560 Tyreek, you want you know, I can't believe you know 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:43.760 who Tyreek kills. Don't do that, Noah, you know who 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:45.080 kills the treat. 0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:46.880 I'm gonna be honest. I forget his name all the time. 0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:49.600 I'm gonna treat it. If it's not about track and 0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:53.639 it ain't about legal legends, my yeah, I got I 0:18:53.640 --> 0:19:01.199 got man. Get this, Tody Reek. It's just chasing cloud 0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:04.119 the man. Anytime somebody fast comes up, he says he 0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:06.320 wants to raise him. If he really wanted to race people, 0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:09.640 he would have showed up like DK Metcap and the 0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:12.200 man raced in the sixty meters this year in the 0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:14.720 master's division. The man does to smoke. I don't got 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:15.280 time for that. 0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:18.200 Hey, Riki call out care. 0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:20.440 Hey, you know what, Let's get a couple of fay 0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:22.439 Let's see if we can get some sponsors. Would you 0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:25.520 be willing to race or one hundred if we got 0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:26.840 some sponsors to put some money up. 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:30.280 He's challenging me for racing in one hundred. We can 0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:33.200 race if he if he's serious about it, if he's 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:35.399 truly serious, about it. I'm not talking about you just 0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:37.720 talking on the internet and you ain't actually coming to 0:19:37.760 --> 0:19:39.560 me and talking to my agent and saying, let's say 0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:42.199 something else. You are seriously about it. I like that. 0:19:42.320 --> 0:19:43.240 You'll see me on the track. 0:19:51.160 --> 0:19:54.040 He's a two time Olympic champ at fifteen hundred meters. 0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:57.119 He's a one time Olympic gold medalist at eight hundred meters, 0:19:57.160 --> 0:19:59.879 and he won the silver medal in the eight hundred 0:19:59.880 --> 0:20:03.720 me in the parish. He swam swam at the University 0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:07.879
