What?
The “girl side” of his brain took over?
In b4 he starts getting ripped on for being sexist
He pretty clearly said “neural”. If he had said “girl” I’m pretty sure that Coleman would’ve used that in his headline lol. And probably would’ve asked him to explain what he meant by that.
Noisier than expected in the icebath room. We’ll try and find quieter corners for future interviews so the sound comes across better.
He would have been a lot faster if he’d gone full-on girl brain.
yeah, what the hell is he talking about
The “neural” said of his brain. He’s saying he was just counting on muscle memory throughout the race, not putting much into active planning
Neural side of the brain guys his accent isn’t that thick.
Gotta make a big deal out of nothing so you can be angry about something
It was the party going on in the background, a bit hard to hear for some.
