Rogan interviewed Gable

[Drew0311]

I don’t see him as a hero but I do think he represents Wrestling in a very possitive light and has been a great ambassador for that sport.
Then again I met Kyle Carpenter so my idea of hero might be a little different

Not only was he really good, he was the best in the world (at wrestling). Then, he became the best college wrestling coach, akin to John Wooden's accomplishments in basketball. He has continued to be an ambassador for wrestling when he could have quit years ago.

I don't know your qualifications for a hero, but in my book he is a giant.

Maybe for a year or two. There are guys with way better international careers than he had honestly.

This was a good listen. Rogan let Gable do most of the talking. When they talked about caveworthy issues, it was interesting that Rogan mocked and assumed bad faith on the other side. Gable had a more generous view. "I want to like everyone," he said. And he expressed a willingness to engage in dialog. We have to give others the benefit of the doubt.
Gable is arrogant. It's how he's wired, so I don't hold it against him. He goes on too long about how he's always outworked everyone around him. He just couldn't give Owings credit for beating him. It was his lack of preparation. Also, he couldn't give his alma mater credit for denying his team ten in a row.
His comments on stalling were particularly interesting. He said you have to stall when you're ahead and not take risks. I assumed he'd never advocate for stalling. I'd forgotten that he'd been hit for stalling against Owings. I have to think how he lost against Owings influenced his "widen the gap" philosophy.
I hadn't heard the story about his sister in this much detail before. It was touching to hear how his sister's murderer repenting in prison affected him.
