    Why The Diamond League Final Hits Different This Year And We Love It

    This year’s Diamond League Final isn’t just a season-ending spectacle — it’s a pathway to Tokyo.

It’s a lifeline for stars like Yared Nuguse and Josh Hoey who missed out team spots at the U.S. Championships. The stakes? Higher than ever. The drama? Guaranteed. The laughs? Eric and Aisha have them for you here. In this episode, Eric and Aisha discuss: – Eric needs an outfit for a bachelor party – BeeKeeper is available at Erewhon – Revisiting the Gwyneth Paltrow trial – Aisha needs to learn how to drink more water – What’s In The News: Alligator Alcatraz has been shut down; Jamie Lee Curtis is aging incredibly – Aisha couldn’t watch movies until 2006 and the rules she had growing up – Why the European circuit is an amazing experience for athletes – Lausanne and Brussels Diamond League takeaways, including the United States is thriving in this era and we need to enjoy it; what should Georgia Hunter-Bell do; we love the jeopardy of the Diamond League final now; Nikki’s epic Diamond League victory; how Jakob has had a massive impact on the sport – Why are sprinters more talented, but distance runners work harder – RIP Foot Locker Cross Country – Voicemails: What romantic fan fiction would you write involving track and field athletes, who are your celebrity doppelgängers, should you be able to hit someone if they trip you up in a race, why Aisha should continue to do research for Eric 📞 Call in to (856) 279-0080‬ to leave us a voicemail with any question you may have, whether it's running-related or not.
