Marathons & Turkey Trots

26.2. That number represents a lot of things to a lot of people. To some, it is a foolish challenge that takes a lot of time and causes a lot of pain. For others it is something of a symbolic achievement; a goal to push oneself to great limits. This week it is just Tom Griffin and Tim Flattery sitting in the Moonlight Studios to share their marathon experiences.

Brooklyn McMurray

It seems like every four years our eyes turn to the Olympics and America falls in love with a new gymnastics icon. Iowa has been fortunate to have close ties to names like Liang Chow, Gabby Douglas, and Shawn Johnson. The leaps, flips, and twists are like a non-stop highlight reel. Gymnastics takes center stage at the Olympics each cycle and then sort of slides into the background. This week, we get an inside look from former junior Olympian and Big 12 gymnast Brooklyn (Doggette) McMurray.

Joe Flattery

How many episodes does it take to land (arguably) the most talented Flattery brother on the podcast? 221 was the magic number to bring in the big lefty, Joe Flattery. Brother Joe stands out from his brothers for a few reasons. He is the tallest, calmest, quietest, and the only lefty of the group.

Fr. Mark McGeary

This week’s Moonlighter continued his basketball career in one of the most underdog roles any athlete could possibly play in - as a member of the Washington Generals. Father Mark McGreary finished up his college playing days and was given the opportunity to fill a spot in the lineup for the losing-est basketball team in history.
