An in person episode from the Grand Slam Track event at Franklin Field in Philadelphia. Recorded over two action packed days, we dive into the chaos of media credentials, parking garage nightmares, and sensory issues with our cheap NonMembers shirts. We break down the star studded races, including Kung Fu Kenny’s 200m dominance, Melissa Jefferson’s 100m sweep, and the men’s 800m with Cole Hocker, and Josh Kerr. We clarify the Grand Slam point system, same athletes, different races over two days, with combined points deciding the $100K winner. We share our clip making adventure asking athletes if Benjamin Franklin ever ran, featuring Michael Johnson’s hilarious take on Ben’s 100m time in pantaloons. We rave about the VIP vibes, Philly merch lines, and athlete hype reels that make track stars feel like NFL icons.
