    Copped that Frank Wilson 45 for a dollar's worth of steel holes!

    That was great, thanks.

    Ben Johnson vehemently defends solo movie viewing! And the Carl Lewis shit is crazy. I'm into it. Ben Johnson is cool!

    I'd never heard that story about the beer being spiked before.

    So shady.

    Lewis so far in the closet, he's got a Narnia passport.

    Johnson never used to talk much because he had a really bad stammer. He picked the stammer up by copying his brother, then his brother lost his stammer, and Ben was stuck with his.

    Despite what went down at the time it would appear that Ben was ultimately the most "Noble" of all a dem suckers. Dude still has that ultra-pragmatic Jamaican mindset. Not concerned with matters of .

    YES. Dudes tastes are actually very similar to mine. Rackords and Motown? Check. Old movies? Check. Watching movies solo? Check. I could totally kick it with that dude.

    Yup. Freely admits it. Says everyone else was cheating too, but not in a self-exculpatory way. The story about Carl Lewis having his post-record-breaking beer spiked at the Olympics was wild. The Lewis camp admits that too.

    I'd like to add that listening to this made me feel really smart. Some international NPR voice talmbout sports in that non-jock way. I'm just hoping someone overhears the guy saying GUELFPH and oh look at me just not even phased GUELPHFF

    I will poke around more of this podcast, and I will definitely be dropping feathers throughout the holidays like this is common knowledge: "haha yeah, Ben Johnson getting popped for the drug he wasn't even taking in Seoul right?--some Carl Lewis goon sabotage?"
