Welcome to the award-winning Champions Mojo hosted by two world record-holding athletes.
00:00:06.232 --> 00:00:13.768
Be inspired as you listen to conversations with champions and now your hosts, kelly Palace and Maria Parker.
00:00:16.585 --> 00:00:19.527
Hello friends, welcome to the Champions Mojo podcast.
00:00:19.527 --> 00:00:21.304
This is an unusual one.
00:00:21.304 --> 00:00:24.629
It's the request of some of our listeners.
00:00:24.629 --> 00:00:37.093
Maria and I have never answered the Sprint Around questions and we're going on five years on the show and some people just they must want to know what our favorite sandwiches are, because that's one of our questions.
00:00:37.093 --> 00:00:48.899
So, anyway, if you want to hang around and listen and get to know your co-host of the Champions Mojo podcast better, maria and I gave each other the Sprint Around questions, which we'll follow.
00:00:48.899 --> 00:00:50.445
Yeah, I think you're going to love it.
00:00:50.445 --> 00:00:52.863
All right, sprint Around, kelly.
00:00:52.863 --> 00:00:56.188
Kelly wants to know you a little bit better.
00:00:56.188 --> 00:00:57.704
So here's some quick questions.
00:00:57.704 --> 00:01:00.479
Take your mark.
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:01.444
What's your favorite sandwich?
00:01:01.444 --> 00:01:05.204
A Jimmy Joe, and what is a Jimmy Joe?
00:01:05.204 --> 00:01:19.191
A Jimmy Joe is a fresh summer tomato, gigantic beef steak on maybe white bread but I'm going to say any kind of bread would be a little healthier with tons of mayonnaise and a lot of salt.
00:01:19.191 --> 00:01:22.128
So, basically, a Jimmy Joe is a tomato sandwich.
00:01:22.128 --> 00:01:25.725
And after Jimmy Joe, right, your dad's friend from childhood, right?
00:01:25.725 --> 00:01:27.870
Yes, yes, great, it's great.
00:01:27.870 --> 00:01:28.691
I love Jimmy Joe's too.
00:01:29.531 --> 00:01:30.873
What do you own that you should throw out?
00:01:30.873 --> 00:01:38.665
Old shoes, tennis shoes, sneakers, like I always think I'm going to get one more thing out of those running shoes and I just thought the Y word.
00:01:38.665 --> 00:01:39.647
They're collecting old shoes.
00:01:39.647 --> 00:01:41.325
So I got to throw away some old running shoes.
00:01:41.325 --> 00:01:43.844
That's good, before you go back to Florida, get rid of them.
00:01:43.844 --> 00:01:45.504
What's the scariest animal to you?
00:01:45.504 --> 00:01:48.215
A shark, yeah.
00:01:48.215 --> 00:01:53.171
What's the leverage you would you most like to meet Oprah Winfrey?
00:01:53.171 --> 00:02:10.491
I would love to meet Oprah because I would like to just thank her because she really impacted my life, so like I just loved her show and it was always inspiring and she was like the first person that kind of brought into focus, having a purpose.
00:02:10.491 --> 00:02:14.169
I just Oprah Winfrey, just love her, that's great, that's great.
00:02:15.301 --> 00:02:17.039
What's the hardest swimming event in the pool?
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:17.983
1650.
00:02:17.983 --> 00:02:19.487
It's long, it's painful.
00:02:19.487 --> 00:02:24.912
It's 19 or 20 minutes of pain, even if you start hurting in the last half.
00:02:24.912 --> 00:02:29.188
It's 10 minutes of pain and, yes, the corner of I am is very painful.
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:31.266
Two-in-her breast is very painful.
00:02:31.266 --> 00:02:40.806
I've never even swam a 200 fly, so maybe I'm not educated enough to say that I've never swam a 200 fly, but I'm going to say 1650 or 1500.
00:02:40.806 --> 00:02:42.248
Okay, all right.
00:02:42.248 --> 00:02:47.486
Favorite movie I'm going to go with the swimming movie and I really love the movie Pride.
00:02:47.486 --> 00:02:52.831
It is a historic movie but it stars Terrence Howard, who I love.
00:02:52.831 --> 00:02:56.206
He's a great actor and it's the story of Jim Ellis' life.
00:02:56.206 --> 00:03:15.745
He's a swim coach who founded the Philadelphia Department of Rec Swim team, which I grew up swimming around in the DC area and it's a great movie about the black history of swimmers in that area and it's just super inspirational and it's fun because it's about swimming and it's got great acting and I have a lot of favorite movies.
00:03:15.806 --> 00:03:16.167
I know.
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:18.625
Oh, swimming movie, that's great.
00:03:18.625 --> 00:03:19.447
I don't know if I've seen that.
00:03:19.447 --> 00:03:23.745
I'm going to have to look for it, but your favorite smell Gardenia Flowers.
00:03:23.745 --> 00:03:26.979
How nice, love it, love cartinates.
00:03:26.979 --> 00:03:30.062
Do you make your bed every morning?
00:03:30.062 --> 00:03:35.807
You betcha Kickboard or no kickboard, kickboard.
00:03:35.807 --> 00:03:38.975
Even Todd DeSorbo says kick with a kickboard.
00:03:38.975 --> 00:03:40.691
Why is that surprising?
00:03:40.691 --> 00:03:46.230
Some people don't kick with kickboards and I guess if it hurts your shoulders a lot of people get shoulder pain.
00:03:46.230 --> 00:03:58.734
But you can streamline better, you can pull it out of the walls when you don't have a kickboard but kickboards, you can talk, you can be social and you can totally have a brutally painful training on a kickboard.
00:03:58.734 --> 00:04:03.774
Yeah, I like the kickboard because it's the one event that I can almost keep up with Jim on.
00:04:03.774 --> 00:04:05.485
If we're kicking, I can't kick.
00:04:05.504 --> 00:04:06.268
Oh, I love it yeah.
00:04:08.008 --> 00:04:09.854
I wondered about the kickboard no kickboard question.
00:04:09.854 --> 00:04:12.854
Now you've sort of clarified why some people like it and some people don't.
00:04:12.854 --> 00:04:14.450
That's good, okay.
00:04:14.450 --> 00:04:17.613
If you have to listen to one song for the rest of your life, what would it be?
00:04:17.613 --> 00:04:20.754
My Sweet Lord by George Harrison?
00:04:20.754 --> 00:04:23.173
Or I have a new one.
00:04:23.173 --> 00:04:27.035
It's I Lose Control by Teddy Swims.
00:04:27.035 --> 00:04:30.293
This guy is brand new.
00:04:30.293 --> 00:04:36.396
He's been around for a while, but it's an original song and it's just random that his last name is Swims.
00:04:36.396 --> 00:04:37.218
That's funny.
00:04:37.218 --> 00:04:41.937
It's called Lose Control by Teddy Swims or my Sweet Lord by George Harrison.
00:04:41.937 --> 00:04:43.209
Great, okay.
00:04:43.350 --> 00:04:48.389
Window or aisle Window, I'm suppressing you say that I would have thought you I know.
00:04:48.509 --> 00:04:49.132
I don't look out.
00:04:49.132 --> 00:04:50.790
I like the clouds, I like the sky.
00:04:50.790 --> 00:04:55.889
Okay, describe your life in five words, mark.
00:04:55.889 --> 00:05:03.918
I think you're the first person we've interviewed who actually put a prepper down.
00:05:03.918 --> 00:05:04.947
I love it.
00:05:04.947 --> 00:05:05.408
I love it.
00:05:05.408 --> 00:05:13.307
Okay, one Mark Family, beer, swimming, creativity I love it.
00:05:13.307 --> 00:05:16.089
I think you've nailed yourself, haven't I?
00:05:16.089 --> 00:05:18.911
Yes, I'm very self-aware.
00:05:18.911 --> 00:05:20.329
You are, you are.
00:05:20.329 --> 00:05:22.254
That's one of your very best qualities.
00:05:22.254 --> 00:05:24.411
All right, this is it.
00:05:24.411 --> 00:05:28.115
What word or phrase comes to mind when you dive in the water?
00:05:28.115 --> 00:05:31.149
I'm home, I love it.
00:05:31.149 --> 00:05:33.947
Okay, maria, take your mark.
00:05:33.947 --> 00:05:36.329
Favorite sandwich?
00:05:36.329 --> 00:05:42.255
Oh man, a grilled cheese with fresh homegrown tomato.
00:05:42.255 --> 00:05:43.870
Oh my gosh.
00:05:43.870 --> 00:05:48.029
Yeah, that sounds really Can I change my sandwich?
00:05:48.029 --> 00:05:51.172
I'm going to say it to me, joe, for grilled cheese.
00:05:51.172 --> 00:05:53.752
Okay, what do you think you should throw out?
00:05:53.752 --> 00:06:03.329
No, I just came upon a stack of 16 swim caps from the various tournaments, so I need to get rid of those.
00:06:04.389 --> 00:06:05.944
I don't throw out swimming Well-.
00:06:05.944 --> 00:06:07.290
The orphanage doesn't count.
00:06:09.425 --> 00:06:09.726
All right.
00:06:09.726 --> 00:06:11.432
So really you want to throw out swim caps.
00:06:11.432 --> 00:06:12.848
There's lots of things I have.
00:06:12.848 --> 00:06:18.935
Too much jewelry I have probably too many clothes, too many books.
00:06:18.935 --> 00:06:21.805
There's a lot that I have that constantly struggle.
00:06:21.805 --> 00:06:23.012
But we learned from Hasna.
00:06:23.012 --> 00:06:24.019
We shouldn't throw them out.
00:06:24.019 --> 00:06:26.218
We should donate them, donate, absolutely donate.
00:06:26.218 --> 00:06:27.004
Yeah, that's it Of course.
00:06:27.004 --> 00:06:31.404
So swim caps are great for lead jar openers, just in case.
00:06:31.668 --> 00:06:33.009
You can't have 16 of them, but.
00:06:33.333 --> 00:06:35.230
I keep them in my car, I keep them as-.
00:06:35.230 --> 00:06:40.355
Well, I learned that the freebie swim caps aren't as good as the ones you've given me, the bought ones.
00:06:40.355 --> 00:06:44.055
So the silicone ones are better than the latex.
00:06:44.095 --> 00:06:48.499
Okay, scariest animal to you, I think a dog.
00:06:48.499 --> 00:06:57.583
Believe it or not, I love dogs, but when you're on a bike or if you're out running and a dog is on the loose and they're running at you, that's probably one of the scariest things to me.
00:06:57.583 --> 00:07:02.480
Oh, my gosh, that makes perfect sense to be a cyclist and be scared of dogs.
00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:04.110
Yeah, so it's like I love dogs, I love dogs, I own dogs.
00:07:04.110 --> 00:07:05.077
I love dogs, I love the people.
00:07:06.471 --> 00:07:07.184
I love a dog on a leash.
00:07:07.184 --> 00:07:10.701
I just don't like a dog running free when I'm on my bike.
00:07:10.701 --> 00:07:11.644
Yeah, yeah, all right.
00:07:11.644 --> 00:07:13.805
What celebrity would you like to meet?
00:07:13.805 --> 00:07:19.944
This is going to sound funny, but Jimmy Carter, he oh God, you got to explain that one.
00:07:19.944 --> 00:07:40.175
He was elected president and he was a terrible president and yet he went on and did so much good stuff with his life and he just seems so sincere and just such a good man, married to his wife all those years and then he had Remember he got skin cancer that had metastasized and he survived that.
00:07:40.175 --> 00:07:45.545
Yeah, he's had such a long, rich life and he just seems like such a good person that he was made fun of.
00:07:45.545 --> 00:07:47.783
Remember how much fun they made when he was president.
00:07:47.783 --> 00:07:51.545
Yeah, so I just think I'd love to sit down and chat with him.
00:07:51.545 --> 00:07:53.485
I think he would be an amazing person.
00:07:53.485 --> 00:07:55.024
That's a great answer.
00:07:55.024 --> 00:07:55.634
He's 99.
00:07:55.634 --> 00:08:00.644
He will be 100 on October 1st 2024.
00:08:00.644 --> 00:08:01.495
He just lost Rosalind.
00:08:01.495 --> 00:08:04.245
Yeah, he's in hospice, but she just died.
00:08:04.245 --> 00:08:06.202
Oh, he is in hospice.
00:08:06.223 --> 00:08:07.822
No, oh, that's a great answer.
00:08:07.843 --> 00:08:11.165
Okay, I'm not sure you can answer this question, but I'm going to give it to you anyway.
00:08:11.165 --> 00:08:13.749
What is the hardest-forming event in the pool?
00:08:13.749 --> 00:08:17.278
For me would be butterfly, since I don't know how to shoot the butterfly.
00:08:17.278 --> 00:08:19.694
Any butterfly I've tried.
00:08:19.694 --> 00:08:26.860
I've never really worked at it consistently for a long period, but any event that has butter playing it would be the hardest event for me there.
00:08:26.860 --> 00:08:30.177
Favorite movie Well, you know we love Jerry McWire in our house.
00:08:30.838 --> 00:08:31.922
Oh yeah, that's it.
00:08:31.922 --> 00:08:36.405
That is it, I know you if you give me any other?
00:08:36.446 --> 00:08:36.746
movie.
00:08:36.746 --> 00:08:37.370
It's not right.
00:08:37.370 --> 00:08:40.929
I've seen some really good movies lately, but I think we'll just go with Jerry McWire.
00:08:40.929 --> 00:08:42.072
I can pretty much quote it.
00:08:42.072 --> 00:08:43.035
All right.
00:08:43.196 --> 00:08:46.893
Favorite smell the smell of Dinner cooking.
00:08:46.893 --> 00:08:54.657
When I walk in to the kitchen and I have been gone all day the smell of whatever it is, doesn't matter what it is, it smells good.
00:08:54.657 --> 00:08:55.801
I like that.
00:08:55.801 --> 00:08:57.687
I don't get that experience.
00:08:57.687 --> 00:08:59.453
I haven't gotten it too much.
00:08:59.453 --> 00:09:02.341
Well, since Steven Morgan been staying with us, I've gotten it a lot more nice.
00:09:02.341 --> 00:09:03.491
Nice.
00:09:04.134 --> 00:09:05.900
Do you make your bed every morning, maria?
00:09:05.900 --> 00:09:11.418
Yes, if my husband's not in it, okay, kickboard or no, kickboard, kickboard.
00:09:11.418 --> 00:09:18.054
And the reason is just Because I have a chance on the kickboard of beating Jim Maybe not beating him, at least keeping up with them.
00:09:18.054 --> 00:09:20.140
And I do love the social aspects of kickboard.
00:09:20.140 --> 00:09:22.575
Yeah, good, all right.
00:09:22.575 --> 00:09:26.003
If you had to listen to one song for the rest of your life, what would it be?
00:09:26.003 --> 00:09:28.475
Oh, black water by the Dubby brothers.
00:09:28.475 --> 00:09:35.090
Okay, that's my song that I Sing when I needed just keep on moving in my head, like on the bike or in the water.
00:09:35.090 --> 00:09:37.099
I just got it.
00:09:37.099 --> 00:09:39.409
It's just got to keep on rolling, just keep on.
00:09:39.409 --> 00:09:40.253
Yeah, you know what?
00:09:40.253 --> 00:09:46.994
Another song like that that I do for swimming all the time it's my ringtone is Roll with the changes.
00:09:47.294 --> 00:09:48.599
Oh nice, are you a speed wagon?
00:09:48.599 --> 00:09:51.326
Yeah, yeah, that's another good one, yeah.
00:09:51.366 --> 00:09:52.490
Yeah, roll with the changes.
00:09:52.490 --> 00:09:58.383
All right, roll a roll, okay, a window, for sure, I like to look at the window, I like to sleep against the window, window, window.
00:09:58.383 --> 00:09:59.611
Okay.
00:09:59.611 --> 00:10:10.172
Describe your life in five words rich, full family, love, progress.
00:10:10.172 --> 00:10:15.197
Very nice, rich, whole family, love, progress.
00:10:15.197 --> 00:10:17.764
That's five, all right, what word comes to mind?
00:10:17.764 --> 00:10:19.409
When you dive in the water, maria?
00:10:19.409 --> 00:10:27.744
I think I'm like you know, not a ah, but a Take a breath a gas gas.
00:10:27.744 --> 00:10:28.669
It's a gas.
00:10:28.669 --> 00:10:30.173
I wish I.
00:10:30.955 --> 00:10:42.330
I wish I were Jim Parker or it's just oh gosh, yeah, I know it's tough being a new swimmer with the guy you're married to and your co-host.
00:10:42.330 --> 00:10:46.264
It's tough, that's all right, like I would feel if I got on a bike next to you.
00:10:46.264 --> 00:10:50.336
Yeah, all right, maria, this is an interesting little podcast.
00:10:50.336 --> 00:10:54.283
