Around 13:45. Look at Rupp's reaction and Meb's face when Rupp starts talking. I'm on Meb's side.

They don't need to like each other. They need to run fast.
Ugh. Rupp. What a sourpuss.
Yeah? Didja see Rupp give Meb the thumbs up just before he finished (and Meb was on the other side of the street)? They seemed to like each other just fine for a couple dudes. Whaddya want em to kiss or something?
What, rupp didn't strip down to his undies and jump into a kiddie pool with Meb?
Meb reacted like a guy who just got caught gossiping about his friend to the whole school. theyre probably marathon bros now.
This is where Galen could use some work.
After walking in while Meb is discussing the clipping story, he should have grabbed the mic and basically said.
"Ya, sorry bout that, this whole on the road thing is new to me ",
Would have been apologizing and maybe even getting a laugh.
galen could have scored a bazillion points if he would have sat down and leaned over and put his arm around meb with a cheshire cat grin... would have been funny as he**! too bad he's (seemingly) a robot.
that was perfect timing though with galen's arrival during meb's explanation of the "conversation". haha
Rump is a great runner but unfortunately he has the personality of a slab of concrete.
Meb is a jackass , Rupp should have gotten in his face.

Umm, in what universe is Meb the "jackass"? Certainly not this one.
Meb is obviously liked by many. as should be.
but was it really that difficult to bite his tongue a bit and just say they were maybe too close to each other during the race and leave it at that. no reason to publicly humiliate your new olympic teammate. how was galen supposed to react in that kind of awkward situation. I would have been taken aback too.

He was. He basically got caught talking behind Galen's back and just kept on going.
He should have tempered it a bit by making it less of an issue after the race.
Ben True glaringly leaves galen out in congratulating winners:

He wasn't talking behind anyone's back, he was answering the question.

Maybe you missed the fact that Galen doesn't even get there until Meb is wrapping up his answer? I doubt he would have started off like that if Galen was sitting next to him when the question was asked.
Dear sweet meb showed his true colors....well, it's not the first time ...as you may recall he never thanked Hall for holding the chase pack back so he could get away and win Boston...now this ...he is a cry baby because a first timer beat his ass...snif,snif...poor me...can't wait until Rio when meb gets trampled...
I'm with Rupp. Meb is whining. Meb is amazing though, right? How do you keep doing this at 40? Pretty unbelievable. Seriously, how? What gives him that edge? Another team for him, too bad for Puskedra.
Rupp did nothing wrong. He raced on the Meb's shoulder to help him win. He had no obligation to let Meb draft off him. It's the Olympic trials after all.
