This episode is brought to you by Better Beer. TRAINING WEEKS
 The 2025 FTK podcast hosts are back together are giving up their spot for last week's FTK OG takeover. Jack cracks 160km in his 3x key workout week at Font Romeu where he spends plenty of time training with Sondre Moen (2:05:48 Marathon PB). Joel does another big mileage week that sees him running more often than he's used to and unfortunately for him a fair bit slower than he's used to (especially at this weekend's Ferny Creek run). Tess updates the listeners on the medical issue that surfaced in an MRI which explained why she needed to play it safe and skip some runs later in the week. THE BIG Q
 Tess asks Jack and Joel their opinion on how to coach an athlete that is struggling for motivation this deep into a marathon block. The team discuss a variety of answers that should help the athlete enjoy their upcoming race without the pressure of a pre-negotiated "goal time". GIVE SOME KUDOS 
 Jack sends his Kudos to an incredibly fast runner while Tess uses self-reflection during this short period of injury to give kudos. Joel goes left of centre and sends his in the direction of Uranium glass. TWHSOITWTWATSA
 Tess is not sure about a certain promotional video seen on the Verve socials. Jack submits his entry which is an interview from a Villanova athlete before his 5000m at the NCAA champs. Joel can't decide between two this week so he does the noble thing and submits both. One recipient has received this award numerous times throughout the season while the second submission is of an anonymous poster of the Facebook page Athletes Australia wanting advice on what super shoes to buy their 9 year old child.   SIGN UP TO OUR PATREON TODAY: www.patreon.com/forthekudos Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/forthekudos Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/forthekudos TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@forthekudos Jack: https://www.instagram.com/jackrayner7 Joel: https://www.instagram.com/joeltobinblack Tess: https://www.instagram.com/tesssicaa_

Il a découvert la voile à l'adolescence, entre Toulouse et Gruissan, dans une famille baignée par l'aéronautique - loin des capitales de la régate. C'est aux côtés de son père Ortwin, pionnier d'Airbus, que Stephan Kandler fait ses premières armes, en croisière puis en course, avant de professionnaliser cette passion au sein de K Yachting. Très actif dans les années 1990 sur les circuits ILC 40, Mumm 30 ou Corel 45, il construit des programmes ambitieux en équipage, repère de futurs grands noms (Juan Kouyoumdjian, Guillaume Verdier) et attire les meilleurs navigateurs français des circuits inshore.En 2001, à 30 ans, il se lance dans l'aventure Coupe de l'America avec la création de K-Challenge. Six ans plus tard, son équipe représente la France à Valence sous le nom Areva Challenge, après avoir frôlé la banqueroute. Le défi français se classe sixième de la Louis Vuitton Cup et parvient à rivaliser avec des écuries bien mieux dotées. L'avenir s'annonce prometteur - Stephan Kandler assure avoir alors réuni un budget de 60 millions d'euros grâce à un mécène et un partenaire -, mais le conflit judiciaire entre Oracle et Alinghi gèle tout projet de suite et tout s'effondre.Il rebondit en TP52 avec All4One durant trois saisons, sans parvenir à revenir dans la Coupe et prend ce qu'il pense être sa retraite de la voile pour se tourner vers les vignes pendant près de huit ans. Kandler revient à la voile en 2021, motivé par l'évolution technologique des supports et l'essor de SailGP. Il s'associe à Bruno Dubois et relance K-Challenge, avec l'objectif de concourir à la 37e America's Cup à Barcelone. C'est le groupe Accor, via sa marque Orient Express, qui relance définitivement la machine fin 2022. En deux ans à peine, un AC75 est construit chez Multiplast, issu du design package des Kiwis et l'équipe s'aligne dans les délais.Sur le plan sportif, Quentin Delapierre et les siens créent la surprise en remportant la première régate officielle à Villanova en AC40. Mais le manque d'entraînement sur l'AC75 et l'inexpérience de ce type de support pénalisent la suite du parcours. Malgré une victoire symbolique contre Alinghi, le défi tricolore ne se qualifie pas pour les demi-finales. Une "déception" sportive, Kandler ne s'en cache pas.Aujourd'hui, K-Challenge poursuit l'aventure à travers sa présence en SailGP, où elle aligne le même équipage qu'en America's Cup. L'équipe s'est ancrée à Lorient, via des activités technologiques (hydrogène, software embarqué, simulateur) qui nourrissent à la fois la performance et des débouchés industriels.Alors que la 38e édition de la Coupe se profile à Naples en 2027, Stéphane Kandler affiche son ambition : capitaliser sur l'expérience de Barcelone pour construire une équipe encore plus compétitive. La France a (re)pris pied dans la Coupe. Il reste désormais à s'y imposer. Et Stephan Kandler en est sûr : jamais cela n'a été aussi possible.Diffusé le 30 Mai 2025Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Grégoire LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

Several high-profile players chose to return for their senior seasons, seeking the chance to win a national title and enhance their draft stock. But which players on the team are absolutely critical to the team's success this year? We're naming the team's "Keystone Players" on which the season's hopes hinge.

The new cover for College Football '26 was released this week, and the team is featured on the cover. We'll show you the cover art featuring Nick Singleton and Penn State head coach James Franklin and discuss it. In more real-world news, the Athletic put out kick-time predictions for the first three games of the 2025 season. We'll discuss the potential impact of those games on the team's opening schedule and exposure against Nevada, FIU, and Villanova. Buy or SellWill Zakee Wheatly lead the Penn State defense in tackles? Can Singleton and teammate Kaytron Allen combine for over 2,500 rushing yards? We're playing Buy or Sell on today's show to discuss what we expect from the team's offensive and defensive output this year. We'll highlight areas where we believe the team will produce significant statistical outputs and others where we anticipate the team may fall behind. Keystone Players Football is a game built on the collective efforts of 11 individuals working together. Yet, not every job or position on the field is as critical as the next. So, we're not asking which players are the best or will put out the most stats this coming year; we're discussing which players are the most irreplaceable on the team.

Bill talks about his basketball path from Villanova to aau and everything in between of his hall of fame career.

In 1975, track and field was a major sport in the U.S.A. and across the globe and there was no bigger race than the mile. So in Kingston, Jamaica, they had the best milers in the world gather for the latest Dream Mile, and for Filbert Bayi of Tanzania, that's just what it was… a dream mile. He hit the tape with a time of 3 minutes and 51 seconds, setting a world record by a tenth of a second and landing him on the cover of the May 26th, 1975 issue of Sports Illustrated. Two other runners were on the cover with Bayi… trying to chase him down and run to glory. Marty Liquori was one of them and while he would finish 2nd in the race, he ran the best time of his life at 3:52.2. Running sub 4-minute miles was nothing new to Marty. He first did in 1967 when he became the 3rd American high schooler to do so while attending Essex Catholic High School in Newark, NJ. From there he went to Villanova and made the 1968 US Olympic team as a 19-year old freshman but suffered a stress fracture in the finals of the 1,500 meter run. Being on the cover of SI was nothing new to Liquori. Four years earlier he was on the cover of Sports Illustrated in May of 1971 when he beat another legendary runner, Jim Ryun in the original Dream Mile race. Despite the big win for Liquori, he told us on the Past Our Prime podcast that the week leading up to the race was a miserable experience and that he could never get used to what the Jordan's and LeBron's of today have to go through on a daily basis. He tells us that his rivalry with Jim Ryun was strictly on the track and that they didn't get to know each other very well until almost 40 years after their famous race. He says that even though he ran his best in the Bayi race he could have done even better if not for a mistake on the final lap and that the strategy used by Bayi was the difference in the race. And he tells us that he still plays softball, rides a bike, paddles around in a kayak and plays guitar in a band… The man does a little bit of everything and he does it all rather well. While at the height of his career he founded the Athletics Attic footwear chain…at the age of 23! He continued racing competitively until 1980 while also starting a broadcasting career for ABC sports that saw him cover numerous Olympics and major races for over 30 years. He ran into the record books and into at least 16 different Hall of Fames including the National Track and Field Hall of Fame and the Collegiate Athlete Hall of Fame.  In the 70's, track and field was bigger than the NBA and and Marty was in the center of it all. He stops long enough to tell us all about it on the Past Our Prime podcast. Give us a review and a download if you would and share it with your friends. Learn more about your ad choices.

Hi all - this is Tammy writing. Today marks one year since Kelly's mom died. On Tuesday, June 4th, 2024, I had the honor of attending the funeral service for Kelly's mom, the indomitable Mary Corrigan - lovingly known as "Jammy" to her six grandkids. One thing (among many) that the Corrigan family does very well is honor and celebrate family. GT, Booker and Kelly each delivered a moving, intimate, often humorous eulogy for their one-of-a-kind mom, in front of the hundreds of people who filled St. Thomas of Villanova church to honor her. Today, we're sharing Kelly's. (Previously aired) To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Habemus Papam! The Church has a new pope—and he's from Chicago. In this episode, Father Dave and Deacon Bob react with joy, awe, and a healthy dose of disbelief to the election of Pope Leo XIV, a South Side Chicago native and fellow “Bob.” The first American pontiff, Leo XIV is an Augustinian, missionary, canon lawyer, and lifelong baseball fan with deep roots in both Villanova and Peru. His election is already making waves—and memes. Before diving into Vatican news, the hosts process a different kind of drama: sports heartbreak. Bob relives the Cleveland Cavaliers' playoff collapse—one for the record books—and the deep disappointment that followed. Father Dave offers perspective (and a hopeful prediction) before they shift gears to highlight Franciscan University's Commencement weekend. From Mary Rice Hasson's bold defense of the human person to Bishop Andrew Cozzens' catechetical preaching, the event was a joyful witness to faith and truth. Finally, they unpack the significance of the name Leo, what this new pope may prioritize, and how the legacy of Pope Leo XIII—with his groundbreaking encyclicals on labor, justice, and the Holy Spirit—may resonate in the years ahead. From Chicago sports to conclave suspense, from Catholic memes to Marian devotion, this episode is a fast-paced blend of humor, reverence, and hope for the Church's future under a pope who, as Bob puts it, “plays Wordle with his brother and orders from Wawa.”   Resources Mentioned The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty Rerum Novarum by Pope Leo XIII Pope Leo XIV – Live Coverage and Commentary (Vatican News)

Patrick gave you a glimpse into the childhood and early years of our brand-new Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV (Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost), with the kind of reverent curiosity you'd expect when an altar boy from the South Side becomes the Vicar of Christ. You can listen to his entire hour of commentary about Pope Leo XIV here. Hour 2 is available to listen here. Hour 3 is here. Humble Beginnings in the Windy City Born on September 14, 1955, in Dolton, Illinois (a suburb of Chicago), little Robert Prevost was raised in a faithful Catholic home. His dad, Louis Marius Prevost, was of French-Italian descent and served in the U.S. Navy during WWII. His mom, Mildred Martínez, was a Spanish-Creole librarian with deep Louisiana roots. He grew up going to St. Mary of the Assumption parish, where he served as an altar boy. So yes, he literally started out on the altar... just not quite at the Vatican level yet. He has two brothers, Louis Martin and John Joseph. A Brainy & Prayerful Path Young Robert was no slouch in school either; he studied math at Villanova, graduating in 1977. God had bigger plans. He entered the Order of St. Augustine in 1978, professed vows in 1981, and was ordained a priest in 1982. He studied theology in Chicago and canon law in Rome, eventually earning his doctorate from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum). From Peru to the Pontificate This wasn’t a man who just sat around in chancery offices. He served as a missionary priest in Peru, taught at seminaries, worked in diocesan offices, and even led the global Augustinian order as Prior General, twice. Eventually, he was appointed a bishop in Peru, received dual citizenship, and climbed the Vatican ranks: prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops and president of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America. If you wanted to become a bishop under Pope Francis? You probably went through his office. Cardinal, then…Pope! In 2023, he was made a cardinal, and by early 2025, elevated to Cardinal Bishop: one of the highest honors in the Church. Just a few months later, he appeared on the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica, smiling (and maybe a bit stunned), as the world heard those famous words: “Habemus Papam!”: We have a Pope! First Words as Pope Patrick shared audio from Pope Leo’s first Mass, where he began his homily in English before switching to Italian. His opening line was a quote from the Psalms: “I will sing a new song to the Lord, for He has done marvels... not just with me, but with all of us, my brother Cardinals.” It was humble, sincere, and straight from the heart. Fun Fact Corner: There's a photo of him at a Chicago World Series game dressed incognito, talking on a cell phone: captioned: “Here’s the Pope at the World Series.” Instant classic. His childhood home was reportedly listed for $199K the day before the conclave. His Creole roots and international experiences give him a beautiful cultural depth: a bridge between continents, languages, and peoples. From altar boy in Dolton to Peter’s successor: it’s a story only God could write.

ABC News snagged an exclusive interview with John Prevost, brother of the newly elected Pope Leo XIV: the first-ever American Pope, born and bred on the South Side of Chicago. Patrick and Cyrus aired this audio during The Patrick Madrid Show, letting the story breathe... and man, did it breathe life into the moment. Brotherly Love & Shock John’s tone was a mix of disbelief, joy, and spiritual awe. “Not a lot of people can say ‘my brother is the Pope.’” Yeah, no kidding, John. He admitted that the news still hadn’t sunk in. The calls, texts, interviews… it’s been a nonstop frenzy since the white smoke rose over St. Peter’s. At first, John thought the idea of an American Pope was laughable... too much geopolitical baggage, right? But when Pope Leo XIV was in the final three candidates, things got real fast. And when the name was finally announced: There was screaming, curtain-watching, and immediate family pride overload. The Man Behind the Mitre So, who is Pope Leo XIV? John paints a humble picture. He’s: -A “regular run-of-the-mill guy” -Molded by missionary work in South America -Passionate about serving the poor and voiceless -Inspired by (and likely to continue the path of) Pope Francis John explained that his brother Pope Leo XIV met Pope Francis years ago while serving in Peru and Argentina, long before either of them wore white. Roots in Chicago Though Leo XIV left for the seminary after 8th grade (to Holland, MI, then Villanova), the Chicago DNA runs deep. His early life was that of a typical kid: neighborhood games, bike rides, and, get this: a prophetic neighbor lady once said he’d be Pope… in first grade. Just picture it: a kid on the block, riding his bike, and the neighbor declaring, “That one’s gonna be Pope.” Holy Spirit, anyone? From Chicago sidewalks to St. Peter’s Square, this story reminds us that God writes the most unexpected plots. And yeah; He’s definitely not done yet.

Before C-Lo's update, Eddie from Commack, the Mets fan pictured at the Vatican, called in. The conversation then shifted to the new Pope, with Evan Roberts linking Jalen Brunson beyond the Villanova connection, and clips of Chris Russo breaking down the new Pope. Finally, a self-proclaimed #1 Al Dukes fan shared a "Cinco de Five-0" about Al, followed by Jerry's own list of Al's annoying habits.

Hour 4 Pablo Torre reported that Bill Belichick's girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, is banned from UNC facilities, prompting Gio to comment on how attractiveness can influence tolerance for "crazy." C-Lo's final update included sounds of the Timberwolves' win over the Warriors, Charles Barkley criticizing players for being "wussies," the Oilers' OT win against the Golden Knights, and the Rangers introducing Mike Sullivan as coach. Clips featured Chris Russo "ranking Popes" and Julian Edelman noting Belichick becoming a distraction after preaching against them.

The Moment of the Day was Chris Russo breaking down the new Pope. Gio concluded the week discussing Mother's Day pressure, stating that morning golf is unacceptable.

Boomer is out today at the Joe Burrow golf tournament in Cincinnati, so it's Gio and Jerry. We finally got the Celtics jersey to put in the freezer, but we don't think we should do anything with it since things are going so well for the Knicks and we don't want to jinx anything. Gio wants Jerry to wear the jersey just to annoy Boomer if he puts the show on while he's in Cincinnati. He decided to wear it because of all the shots Boomer takes at Jerry over him being a Nets fan. We talked about the new Pope being a Villanova graduate and how that relates to the Villanova Knicks.

I always say that this Thursday to Sunday run of the conference tournaments and the Selection Show is the best four-day stretch of every lacrosse season. Teams have spent the last year working toward this, only the best teams are playing, every game is meaningful and the familiarity of playing conference rivals a second time begs for potential drama.

What a weekend! Nathan Green and UW turned heads at Penn but what about Ethan Strand and Gary Martin? Sabastian Sawe won London and staked his claim to #1 marathoner in the world although John Korir may want to argue. Former #1 Eliud Kipchoge put up a fine performance. Sifan Hassan's 4 month lay-off was too much as Tigist Assefa set a women's only world record and took home over $300,000. The Diamond League opened and Beatrice Chebet was better than ever, while Karsten Warholm got a 300m world record. What's up with Grant Holloway? And what about Faith Kipyegon's sub 4 attempt?

The Final Four is set and we continue to have few great games in the tournament but the 4 teams left are historically great. We figure out who is the Cinderella, what the Duke hate meter is at and Kevin Willard to Nova (00:00:00-00:35:48). The NFL league meetings are taking place in Orlando and the Coach's got together for their yearly picture as well as the tush push being banned (00:35:48-00:44:49). Yankees might be cheating but also why shouldn't we want more runs (00:44:49-00:52:07)? Who's back of the week including the impractical jokers being down bad and a cartoon battle between Big Cat and Hank (00:52:07-01:02:25). John Fanta joins the show to talk Final Four, Kevin Willard to Villanova, The Crown, Who he wants on the Browns and how we dont get chipped to death in San Antonio (01:02:25-01:46:02). We finish with Monday Reading (01:46:02-01:58:08).You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube. Prime Members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music.
