Welcome to the podcast for the show on this beautiful day, Wednesday, the 29th of July. We're nearly in August.
**Susie O'Neill** (0:10)
It's like we're in a running race today, the energy.
**Luttsy** (0:13)
Oh my god, it was hectic, wasn't it? I felt like we were at the Commonwealth Games. It's a good show today, actually. Good fun.
**Susie O'Neill** (0:17)
It was fun.
**Nick** (0:18)
Yeah, common thread in the show today with Daddy David.
**Luttsy** (0:24)
Daddy David.
**SPEAKER_5** (0:25)
Daddy David.
**David Luttrell** (0:27)
It was cool. You didn't see, we speak to Lockie, we speak to Lockie Kennedy. I'll be on the show, Silver medalist, Commonwealth Games.
**Nick** (0:32)
You'll hear that from start to finish, from his race in our show, all the way to when we speak to him.
**SPEAKER_5** (0:36)
It's actually true.
**David Luttrell** (0:38)
In our show, we heard all of that today, which is pretty magical. But he FaceTimed me just before we put him to air. So that's why I ran out of the studio because we were just finishing off something else. I thought I'd better take this.
And he was just in the car on the way back to the hotel. It was like a big smile, like a cheshire cat he was.
**Susie O'Neill** (0:56)
He seemed very happy.
**David Luttrell** (0:57)
Yeah.
**Nick** (0:57)
He sounded stoked. I mean, you would be.
**David Luttrell** (1:00)
Imagine that work. I knew it for Susan. You don't have to imagine it. The work that goes in for those moments.
And I mean, the gold would have been great. And he almost got there. Like he was in front.
**Luttsy** (1:11)
He was so close.
**David Luttrell** (1:12)
But, you know.
**Susie O'Neill** (1:13)
In a race that short, you'd have no room for error?
**Nick** (1:16)
No.
**Susie O'Neill** (1:18)
That's obvious, but.
**Nick** (1:18)
I was trying to be Lutti off here. I'm surprised how much happens in such a short race.
**Susie O'Neill** (1:22)
It changes a lot.
**Luttsy** (1:23)
Crazy. The lead.
**David Luttrell** (1:24)
Wild. Imagine that's why Bruce McEvaney is so brilliant at calling it, because to be able to get all those elements into nine and a half seconds is just crazy.
**Nick** (1:32)
And not sound rushed, like he doesn't sound rushed.
**Luttsy** (1:35)
Most commentators do sound rushed.
**Lockie Kennedy** (1:38)
That's a very good point actually.
**David Luttrell** (1:39)
But the guy that beat him had to run just the fastest time ever at the Commonwealth Games. Games record to beat him.
**Susie O'Neill** (1:45)
Okay. And he just was increasing speed at the end, wasn't he, the Cameroon guy?
**Lockie Kennedy** (1:49)
Yeah.
**David Luttrell** (1:49)
Like he probably maintained.
**Lockie Kennedy** (1:51)
But it was a bit shorter.
**David Luttrell** (1:52)
Yeah. It's whoever maintains their speed through to the 100 meters that really wins it.
**Susie O'Neill** (1:58)
He was the only white guy in the final.
**David Luttrell** (2:00)
Yeah. Yeah, it was one.
**Luttsy** (2:02)
Yeah.
**Nick** (2:03)
Yeah, that's true actually.
**David Luttrell** (2:04)
Yeah. Because it's a couple of South Africans, it's a couple of Australians, but obviously Eddie's, yeah, Eddie Niketia, I'm still getting used to saying his name right.
**Luttsy** (2:14)
Niketia.
**David Luttrell** (2:14)
He finished sixth, the other Aussie. Yeah.
**Luttsy** (2:16)
That's pretty good too. Yeah, I know.
**David Luttrell** (2:19)
You know, like before this, Shervo finished fourth back in 1998
**Nick** (2:23)
What was his best visit fourth, was it?
**David Luttrell** (2:25)
I think that's when he ran 10.03, which was his TB.
**Nick** (2:27)
Right. But we all remember Shervo. I mean, for other reasons.
**Luttsy** (2:30)
Shervo is a superstar. You know, that's what I'm saying.
**David Luttrell** (2:32)
We forget. And Ozzy has run 9.85. It's...
**Luttsy** (2:37)
No one's ever heard of it.
**David Luttrell** (2:38)
It's like beyond comprehension.
**Nick** (2:40)
Imagine when he goes quicker at the Olympics. Like, geez, that'll be...
**David Luttrell** (2:45)
He's 22
**Susie O'Neill** (2:46)
What did Carl Lewis run back in the day?
**David Luttrell** (2:48)
Oh, God. Now you're testing me.
**Susie O'Neill** (2:50)
I was thinking... I was just wondering how it's...
**Luttsy** (2:53)
I'm trying to think.
**David Luttrell** (2:55)
Carl Lewis' personal best was...
**Susie O'Neill** (2:58)
Actually, it doesn't matter. I was just curious to see how it...
**Nick** (3:00)
Well, you'll hear it all on the show today anyway. You'll hear all of that.
**Susie O'Neill** (3:03)
Google it yourself.
**Nick** (3:04)
Yeah, but you can Google it. Plus, Susie's got a parenting question for me as well. Oh, yeah. Bit of role play goes on in that one.
**Susie O'Neill** (3:10)
