Cash and mom Ariana are doing great. Clayton talks fatherhood, his 2022 season, his plans for 2023, his big regret from the Tokyo Olympis and a lot more including the financial side of the sport, Max Siegel and Alberto Salazar, plus Akron restoring men's cross country.

Prior to Clayton joining the pod we have our regular show where we break down the latest track and field news. This week was chock full of cross country coverage as we had the Euros, FootLockers, the Kenyan champs, and the USATF club champs.
