Summary

"Once I got on the start line, that was the most at peace I'd felt in a long time."

"Drink a beer for me," Molly Seidel told her family over FaceTime from Sapporo, just moments after becoming an Olympic Bronze Medalist in the marathon. Even better: drinking a beer with Molly, which is exactly what a few hundred of us did on Tuesday, August 31, during this virtual live show with the newly minted Olympic medalist. During this fun celebratory conversation, Molly talks about throwing out the first pitch at the Red Sox game a few weeks ago (let's just call it a strike, OK?), that viral airplane Tweet ("It was 100 percent mansplaining," she says), where she plans to keep her bronze medal ("somewhere weird"), and the fellow Olympic marathoner she's "shooting her shot" with. Plus, every detail on the Olympic marathon, including Molly's fun travel details, tales from the Athlete Village, and some jaw-dropping stories of mid-race trash talking and why Molly was veering away from the pack (it wasn't in search of shade).

I am your host Allie Feler and I am very excited to bring you this special bonus episode

0:13.5

live with Olympic bronze medalist Molly Ciddle.

Molly of course is just back from Tokyo or Sapporo where she finished third in the Olympic

0:24.0

marathon. She won a bronze medal. She became only the third US woman to ever medal at the

0:31.5

Olympics. So she joins the ranks of the iconic, the legendary Joan Bonoit Samuelson and

0:37.2

Dina Caster. Very cool group of women to be in. So we decided to celebrate. In Molly's

0:44.2

post-race interviews she told her parents, have a beer for me and we thought we want

0:49.8

to have a beer with you. Okay, I drank water but we had a little celebration for Molly.

0:55.6

We went live thanks to picky bars. Had such a fun time doing this virtual live show. You

1:01.4

are going to love this conversation. I am absolutely sure of it. Molly talks all about

1:07.4

what it was like being at the Olympics and shares so many stories that I think will

1:11.8

blow your mind. The chat was on fire. Everyone was losing their minds at some of the things

1:17.5

that Molly was saying. Everything from pushing and shoving and trash talking during the

1:24.3

race to her fear of furries and mascots and everything in between. So big huge thank you

1:32.3

to Molly for making the time to do this. I can't even imagine how many requests she's

1:36.0

getting these days. So that she was willing and able to make this happen. Fresh off the

1:40.8

plane getting back to Arizona to Flagstaff where she lives. I thought that was super cool

1:45.0

and super honored to get to do this. I also want to thank picky bars for hosting this.

1:50.3

I texted the kind people at picky bars. Molly is a picky bar's athlete. After Molly

1:55.9

won bronze, I was like, yo, let's do a virtual live show and have the most fun ever. And

they were like, okay, no questions asked. They were just down to have a good time and I
