The Best Paragraph I've Read: IN 2018, TOM CRUISE finally joined Instagram, and fans sure felt the need for speed: He picked up 550,000 followers in less than an hour. Now he's up to 6.5 million followers, and they're greeted by the actor's self-assessment of his own career in his bio. He could have gone with "Three-time Oscar nominee," or "Sold $10 billion worth of movie tickets." But instead, he picked: "Actor, producer, running in movies since 1981."   It's a winking, self-aware nod to this much-memed chapter of his Hollywood career. He always gets the rogue bad guy with the rogue nuclear codes from the rogue country, and he does it in a sprint. By one running blog's count, he's run in 44 of his 52 movies, and that includes two running scenes in his newest movie, "Top Gun: Maverick," which opens this week nationwide... ... ... But that raises the question... Is Tom Cruise actually a good runner? This article comes from ESPN.com.  The article is titled: "Tom Cruise runs.  But is he any good at it?"  The article is written by Ryan Hockensmith.  You can read the full article here: https://www.espn.com/olympics/story/_/id/33966556/tom-cruise-running-top-gun-maverick Zac and Don discuss whether Tom Cruise is good at running.  Don breaks down his form and shares his knowledge about high level running.  Some of Tom Cruise's best movie runs are also discussed. Zac and Don reference this video that shows every Tom Cruise movie run. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8Q2MgdMskQ&t=38s
