[upbeat music] Hey, everybody.
0:17
Full Spectrum Cycling radio program on the internet, show number 122. One, two, two combo intact. Combo intact. [laughs] JK last week said, uh, "Maybe we don't wanna do a combo breaker in there." [laughs] Yeah.
0:35
I don't know, I just thought that with this Michigan trip coming up, maybe it would be less stressful, but you know what? I think it's gonna be- I think it would be-... fine...
0:43
I think it would be the lack of a show would be more stressful. Right. Right. Yeah. Yeah. And you wouldn't notice it. You'd just be a little bit off, and you wouldn't put your finger on what- Right... it is.
0:51
Something's, something's wrong. Something's there. And our listener would be like- And you would be over there going-... "Where is our show?"... going, "I forgot to pack something. I forgot. I forgot something.
0:59
What was it?" The combo. The- [laughs]... combo platter. Combo. Well, we're in the, uh, River West Everyday Cycle studio here. Got JK. Good evening, or day, or morning. Got, got the Tony. Hola.
1:17
So hopefully... Well, been saying this now since when? January? [laughs] [laughs] Hopefully. No, I think it was November. Well, no, that- When I think about-...
1:25
that is when we started, but the electrical situation- Oh, okay... is still un- unfinished. [laughs] However, uh, today begins the River West 24. Dun-da-da-na. It does.
1:38
So we couldn't really move the studio until after the 24, no matter what. Right. Because there could be another podcast. There, there will be. The reason- Oh, there will be. Oh. So in, like, a couple of hours from now.
1:51
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, come on down. We're gonna switch. Come on down. Yeah. Get on the, get on the micro horn phone thing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we should. I was, uh, I was- So what are you... So we-...
1:59
mentioning it to, uh, Nomad Sam, and I was like, "Come on in," and he's like- Come on in... he's like, "I would, but I'm going to Croatia." I'm like, "Okay." Okay, that's a good excuse.
2:07
"Well, that's a hell of a good excuse." That's a good excuse. Well, you know. He's like, "I could call in." Yeah, 717-272-453. So I gotta get- You can call from anywhere in the world. That spells bike. It does.
2:15
Like cracky. Bike, do you mean cracky? I don't know if... I'd like to get that number and be able to do it without a cell phone. I want this to be landlined in, just to get rid of that little bit of latency.
2:30
Oh, there you go. Yeah, yeah. Speaking of latency, T-Burger and, uh, Andrew did some network work at our new digs. Yeah. That was a, that was quite a project up over in there.
2:44
Ended up being way more than we were led to believe. [laughs] Well, at least he got some shackles out of the deal. I did, I did many, uh,
2:52
many feet up in the air crimping e- you know, ends on ethernet cables is not something I relish doing. Yeah, but you're so good at it. [laughs] Well, I've done it for a long time, but- What are those colors again?
3:02
White, orange, orange, white, green, blue, white, blue, green, brown, white, brown. Shoryuken. Can you do that- Oh, bogle... like when you're jumping rope and be all like- Sure... tin-ka-ti-ka-ting. Sure.
3:10
Isn't that from Street Fighter? Yeah. Or was that Contra? Uh, uh. Up, down, left, right, A, B, A, B. Yeah. Yeah, something like... Yeah. Yeah.
3:16
[laughs] Yeah, I, uh, I've done it for a long time, and you actually had the nicest tool to help, 'cause the crimper you had was a piece of [censored]. Yeah. But you got a crimper here. Yeah. Yeah. [laughs] Um.
3:26
Oh, what is that thing? I thought it was a crimper for a moment. [laughs] It's a ultraviolet germ killer. So is that, like, is that real? I don't know. Is that real? But it was less than $5, and I'm like- It has all-...
3:36
I'll try it for that for a little bit more. So- It has all of my data now... keyboard.
3:39
So, so the shop phone number is now on a mobile phone just while we do the move and stuff, at least, if not longer, and it's got- Yeah... this copper- Mm-hmm... case on it that's supposed to be, like, no germy as well.
3:51
Also very good-looking. It is, but it doesn't- But it doesn't, doesn't have a kickstand like mine. Yeah, it doesn't- No, it does not... it doesn't, also doesn't fit in my- [laughs]... dash vent thing on the car. Oh, no.
4:01
But, uh, the cool thing for me about Spectrum, which is what that phone is on, is that my other one's AT&T, so when I travel- You always got a coverage... I got some coverage where AT&T sucks and/or vice versa. So.
4:11
That's why I have Google Fi, 'cause it just switches back and forth. Google Fee. Fee Fi. Fo Fum. [laughs] So I got, uh, I got the new Spectrum internet connection set up over to the new shop today.
4:27
Does it got the Wi-Fis? Five hours later. Does it got the Wi-Fis, or do you need Wi-Fis? Well, it doesn't, right, it, it has their, it has their stupid hotspot, which I'm gonna unplug really soon. Yeah.
4:37
But, um, I, it, I thought I had... I had a modem, a cable modem and hotspot all in one, but they wouldn't- Activate it? Yeah, they won't... because they're, you know, you can only do that on a home system or something.
4:49
Oh. So I bought a Netgear Nighthawk just to have something, and it's got a USB 3 so I can throw a drive on it and back up and... until, you know, such time as I wanna spend more money on something. Yeah.
5:02
I was just gonna say, I, uh, since I switched to the, uh, Google Mesh network, which I love, um... Well, we're suddenly an IT show. Um- Hey. [laughs] I, uh- This is it...
5:12
have a Nighthawk sitting at home that I was gonna say, "Hey." Oh. "This." I'm gonna- I was gonna put it at Sam's house, but we just haven't gotten around to it. Put it at Sam's house. Yeah.
5:21
Unless it's, uh, unless we can extend it. If I don't get good coverage in the podcast room, maybe we throw it in there and- Right... link them. The Mesh is really cool, too. Mesh, shmesh. That's what I say.
5:32
Oh, no, they're cool. I was looking for one that had at least a USB 3 on it, and- That's, that's a good one to get. Yeah, yeah... and they're just, like, a lot of them just have ethernet ports, and I'm like, "Nah."
5:39
What are you gonna use the USB 3 for? Drive. Hard drive. I'm not gonna put in my NAS on the shop system. I'm just gonna put a hard drive up there for backup. Mm-hmm. So that would be a good...
5:51
Uh, there's probably already an IT show called This Is It, I bet. Yeah. But I can bring it all back to the bicycling. Yeah, we should. Because when I brought my phone on this p-
6:00
One week ago, and we were to meet the next morning for the Steel Is Real pre-plan ride adventures Which was a pretty nice ride Hell yeah. But here's the thing. If you break a phone and you [clears throat]
6:15
have to get a replacement the next day, stick around that shop and let all the updates update. Yeah. Don't just see that, "Oh, hey, I got my contacts. All's well in the world." No, 'cause it was a...
6:27
The whole damn ride was a comedy of [laughs] fucking errors about my b- my fricking phone, broken and new one, connecting to my speaker because it was connected when it broke [laughs].
6:43
So I had to walk the damn thing 40 fucking yards- [laughs] Oh... drop it in a culvert, come back, reconnect with my other one so I could, damn it, listen to things, and then walk back.
6:55
And ba, ba, ba, ba- So how come these stupid phones, you can't turn them off without seeing the screen? 'Cause it's like that, you know- Well, what do, what do, what do you-... are you sure?
7:02
Are you sure you want to- What if you break your screen? Can't you just hold them down for like a minute and a half or seven minutes or something? Yeah, you should be able to. You should.
7:07
Some- somehow you should be able to. You should. Or power and- Yes... down arrow or something. You should. Or a hammer or something. Yeah. Yeah. What's a hammer for? [laughs] Smashing the phone.
7:16
[laughs] I've done that more than once. And here, four days later- While I was working for digital... hey, Samsung has... I, I, I guess, yes, the, uh, the screen does take up a lot of baddy- battery power.
7:28
Well, yep, the alarms are still going off to this day. I'm just, like, [laughs] trying to let the damn thing just die on the fricking audio... uh, operating table. Audio table. Audio operating table. [laughs] Yeah.
7:40
But yes, that was me tethering it back to bicycling. Right on. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Yeah. Uh-huh. Yeah, that happens. That happens.
7:47
And thank you for Hollander for allowing me to use their Wi-Fi so I can [laughs] continue all the updates that I ran away from too early.
7:55
I'm not sure how great it is, but, uh, Spectrum, when you're their customer, they've got a lot of hotspots. Basically, if you put in a modem, they'll put in a hotspot where you are too that's accessible by other people.
8:08
It's a whole separate modem, whole separate- So is that like the, um- So it's just like a... So they're re- piggybacking off your line? Interesting. They're not using...
8:17
I mean, I don't think they charge me the bandwidth for it. Right. But they are... Yeah, so I got my router, and then there's another router plus an access point. Wow. I have to see this.
8:26
So that they can have a hotspot network, which I have actually used quite a bit. It just joins any- where it sees a hotspot? Get everything- If, if you are a Spectrum customer...
8:37
in one long stream- 'Cause I'm a Spectrum customer and I don't use this, but I'm long-term Oh, but you could. Yeah. Yeah. I mean- And soul-searching All right then. Hot shot.
8:45
So I'm in Mi- I'm actually in Michigan right now. Yeah, you are. [laughs] You were on a boat, motherfucker. Going on a boat with a goat or a throat or a... I don't know, maybe I'll- A moat... carry a tote.
8:57
I gotta, I g- [laughs] I gotta say, packing for a overnight trip for me is basically like packing for a week trip.
9:04
It's like, uh, pretty much all the same stuff on there, with minus about, you know, three pairs of socks and a couple pairs of underwear or something. But other- Yeah, which is nothing anyway.
9:12
[laughs] Otherwise, it's really- Yeah... I don't know. I wanna be comfortable. I'll, I'll have a picture of this on the old, uh- Yeah. Yeah... on the old page of, uh- I think you'll be comfortable...
9:21
what do you call that page? Uh, show note page. That's it. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yeah, I don't know. It turned out pretty well. I would... I think I... we should have maybe, like, see who can name every bag- Bog...
9:32
bog on the bike. There's a hidden one. It's kinda fun. But, uh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, got some sturdy bag design stuff on there. Got some Road Runner stuff on there. Got a Big Agnes tent on there.
9:45
Got some Seattle Sports on there. Um, speak- It's like a who's who of good biking gear stuff...
9:52
speaking of bogs, uh, SMS had pulled over to the house with some, with his big-ass BMW, and he had some cust- or not custom bags, but aftermarket new bags that fit on that are pretty badass. On his motorbike?
10:06
Yeah, on his motorcycle. He spends more on his motorbike than we spend on bikes. Probably. Probably. I, I had... I do not even wanna know what's, how much is into that thing.
10:15
Oh, yeah, and then he biffed it, so he had to buy new parts after that. Well, he ran into his buddy. Yeah. [laughs] And then when you do that on a bike, it's not quite as bad. You just throw your bike around.
10:24
I mean- Like, we went past the Dave Lund's memorial bike toss area- [laughs] Oh... on, on the Steel Is Real, uh- And everybody-... pre-ride... made the comment going, "Isn't...
10:34
This is where he hucked the bi-" Yes, this is where he hucked the bike. [laughs] I think he might have done a hammer throw version of it. I, I don't know this story.
10:40
I think he kinda launched it first, and then he might've just swung it around by the back. I don't know. I don't know this story. What happened? I remember looking behind, and then arms up- I think it-... and ah, boom.
10:48
I think it was a... Was it a Steel Is Real? Or was it a, a- A fat tire tour... it was a fat tire tour maybe. I don't know. He broke a frame or something? It was a siegel incident.
10:55
Yeah, the end of the block by Valley Inn for a derby, and then he came hot riding right down the alley, like, just- Single speed style... just blasting into the circle, and took out his derailleur and oh yeah.
11:09
[laughs] You know, that's why you don't derby with a geared bike, I guess, if you're gonna really go for it. Or you just don't act like a douche. [laughs] Well- That's the way it sounds like to me. Uh.
11:20
You get caught up in the spirit, but don't lose the feeling. Right. Hang on. You got the spirit and then lose the feeling. Feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling. We were listening to Joy Division before we cracked the mics.
11:32
[laughs] We were. That's very good. We're listening to lots of stuff before we crack the mic.
11:36
Yeah, there, um, so for the people that don't know, the riverwest24.com is where you get your information about this year's race, ride. It's not either. There's no fees this year. You show up, you get a
11:49
information sheet- Zine... with 100 checkpoints. And you can fill in your own zine, right? And you get each checkpoint is a page to the zine. Since I'm on a boat, can you get my zine? I will get some zines
12:05
Um, so that's- What, what site is it? River- it's riverwest24.org, right? No, I think it's.com I think it's.com.com. What?.com. I got it right here. It's gonna be.org. I have it right here.
12:15
Um, yeah, and there's gonna be some very interesting checkpoints from what I've heard rumor of.com Um, we're not allowed to disclose, so- Wear a helmet- And have lights.
12:26
Yep, gotta do that These are things that you- Don't be a jerk... don't do when you're Handsome Bob. Yeah. Yeah, right. These are the little things that span years. Yep, yep, yep. [laughs] Just don't be a jerk.
12:37
Banned for life, man. [laughs] Banned for life. Handsome Bob is banned for life? Yeah. [laughs] Get outta here. Yeah, because he- He's so handsome, though... he wouldn't wear his helmet. Yeah.
12:46
Now he's gonna ride it backwards. Yeah. You can't tell me what to do, man. Yeah, you can't. You're not- No helmet... you're not my mom. I mean, there's no helmet law in Wisconsin.
12:54
I'm gonna go no helmet, no lights, sunglasses, earbuds in- There... and go the opposite direction. Yep. Yeah. [laughs] Yep. Ride it Jedi style. [laughs] Not stopping at any stop sign or light.
13:06
Just go, stopping at every green light. [laughs] I'm gonna slow roll through it. There you go. Going opp- Oh, God. That... You'd... Man, you could be an agent of chaos doing shit like that, man.
13:17
I, I just, I'm curious w- how many people are gonna participate this year, and what it's gonna be like. I, I- I'm-... I kinda think it's gonna be a good thing.
13:23
People are coming out of the woodwork, and- I'm, I'm- There was a handful last year when we were- I'm cons- There was a quite a few l- people last year that were doing it just for fun. Mm-hmm.
13:31
And I think this is an interesting way to do it this year. Um, I'm... You know, 'cause I'm the guy that gets the tattoo every year, I'm really- Two...
13:40
They're, they, I sound like they think they're gonna get a whole lot of people to do a tattoo, and I'm not so sure that's gonna be popular. Hmm. One, you gotta pay for it.
13:49
Have we s- We haven't seen the design yet, either, right? And you don't find- Shirts... the design until the day of. Well, hopefully it's not like the shirt. Yes.
13:55
Hopefully, I will say that I know a lot of people really like the shirt this year. I do not. How, how come they never, ever- It looks like Fast Times at Ridgemont High... ever... Yeah, it does kinda, doesn't it?
14:05
It's like, sort of the- Yeah... Miami Vice colors. That too. Yeah. Yeah. Ooh. Ooh. And I have the Miami Vice- Or you could go-... album over there, which we can play during the time when we're here for the 24.
14:16
Like, we're gonna pop in and out of the shop a lot- Yes... so we could put Miami Vice on. If you wanna- Yes. [laughs] Like, what was his name? Uh, Foltymier? No, uh, Jan Zimmer or- Harold Foltymier? Harold Foltymier.
14:26
From- Jan Zimmer, one of those guys made some music on za- Uh, Miami Vice... Miami, Miami Vice. Oh. Vice. Jan Hammer. Uh- Oh, Jan Hammer did it too. Jan Hammer. Tomorrow I- They're, they're, they're all the same guy.
14:36
They go keyboard to- Tomorrow-... keyboard to keyboard to keyboard to keyboard... yeah. Tomorrow, which is yesterday, I have to take my tube amp and set of speakers over... Oh, I can't talk about this. Never mind.
14:46
I'm not telling you what I'm doing tomorrow. It's Jan Zimmer's world, we just- I almost let the cat out of the bag there. [laughs] So that tube amp- Get back in there... is still cranking for you, huh?
14:53
That tube amp kicks ass. Monoprice tube amp, folks. It's really not bad. It's a n- It sounds good. Um, please.
14:59
I forget if it's a, is it just the tube preamp, or is it actually a tube a- I think it's a tube preamp- It's, it's an-... and a digital amp. Yeah. Yeah. And then I have a, a analog amp preamp for the turntable.
15:11
A, um, Shitt, which are really great. Shitts are the shits. [laughs] They are really great. I, there's a couple things I wanna get from them. I'm, I'm resisting getting back into the audiophile world, because
15:26
it costs lots of money. [laughs] Yeah, that's why I'm like, I'm at the stage with my Luxman, do I get it repaired? Do I replace it with something nice like what you've got for a pretty decent price?
15:40
Well, the, the- 'Cause the repair might be just as much... so the key to the Fluance, which is my turntable, is that Ortofon cartridge.
15:47
That Red, Ortofon Red cartridge by itself is 130 bucks or something, and the turntable was under 300. Nice. So it's like you're getting good quality cartridge, and- Right. That is kinda important...
16:00
the rest of the thing is actually pretty nice. Yeah, my Lux has got a BNO on it. That stuff. It, it is a really fancy turntable, but, oh, God, you're right. When you get into it, it starts to get really ugly really fast.
16:12
I keep leaving that Couch Flambeau- 'Cause it's-... record upon the turntable, 'cause it's- 'Cause it's so good... and it's a f- it's a 12-inch 45- Right... which is kinda cool. [laughs] I guess. I don't know.
16:23
Is that better? I don't know. I like it. I can tell you this, it goes faster. Yeah. [laughs] It goes, it goes- S-... it goes, like, 12 faster. 12 faster. Yeah. 11 and 2/3 faster. Yeah. That's a lot when you're- I know...
16:38
turning. And it- Turn, turn, turn... so the shop here- Turn... hmm, are you... Is it looking... It, to me, it, it, I guess it started looking like [laughs] stuff is moving out, but it's- Yes. Yeah, it does.
16:48
These- It- All the boards are cleared. Well, yeah. And- I, I thought I'd leave some of these, uh, tchotchke/ you know, soft goods and PDW stuff and things past the 24 in case somebody wandered in- CC and-...
17:00
and wanted to throw fat stacks at the- Need s-... you know, shop, 'cause- Needs a light... since we haven't really made any money this month. Yeah.
17:06
Well, if it needs a light or something, there, that's- Right, or it rains, or they need a tube, or, you know- Yeah, a tube... I don't know, maybe you gotta lube your chain. Not sure. Yeah.
17:14
But yeah, it's been, it's definitely been a goofy year. Um, I just got a, I checked in with State Bicycles, because we have those- Yeah... Clunkers on order, which I was kinda hoping would show up around now.
17:29
Apparently, they're delayed until mid to late August. So I sent Seth a note that said something like- Yeah...
17:36
"Oh, I sure hope those bike ferries are kind to us, 'cause it would be awesome to have [laughs] those for this event on the 28th." So hopefully, maybe, but if not, th- they're still cool. Maybe. Clunkers. Maybe.
17:51
Clunkers are cool, apparently, I've been led to believe. Yeah. I really, I really think they should be here- Just, you know-... for Steel Is Real, though, even if they have to air freight them from China,
18:03
or wherever they come from. China. Yeah, I couldn't help but notice- Yeah... you got a Time Trial bike sitting over there, Greg. Don't even talk to me. [laughs] Well, the time trial bike.
18:15
We still haven't received the part from the Netherlands. Sean, Sean, I gave Sean shit- Yeah, Sean, Sean, Sean...
18:20
about it last night when he was, or Tuesday night when he was going to see the Bucs, and I said, "Yeah, yeah." He's like, "Oh, you got your, you got your bike run again." I said, "Yeah, mine's an American bike.
18:31
It's-" Bazinga. I said, "And I can easily come by parts." He's like, "Since Kobe broke it." I'm like, "Oh, speaking about breaking them," like, the Time Travel Bike's just a nightmare, dude.
18:41
I've seen him, I've seen Kobe a- all over riding the blue Trek. Mm-hmm. Which, guess what? Stays together. Doesn't break. Don't worry about it. And Sean's owned that since new. That was his bike.
18:52
Wow, that was like- Yeah... his high school bike. Big Trek 400, man. That's a, and a, he was saying Kobe wants to ride a bike to Madison. I'm like, "There you go. That bike would ride great to Madison."
19:02
That's a perfect bike to ride to Madison. Yeah, but yeah. Oh well, oh well. Nobody listens to me. He wants to go fast. Mm-hmm. You know what I do when I wanna go fast? Push the button. I push the button.
19:13
[laughs] I like, I like pushing the button. I'm having so much fun on this, this silly e-bike stuff. We got, hey, we got the Shark running again. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
19:24
Probably ought to pull the fork off and figure out why- What do you mean?... it's a little hysterethis-is-is-is in it. Might need to face the crown race or something. Uh-huh. It's just being kinda funky.
19:38
Looking forward to see you, and Andy can print a nice, uh, bash guard for that thing too. Yeah. Oh, I see. I couldn't open the website, so I, but there are files for printing buffeting stuff on your 3D printer. Yeah.
19:51
Bash guards- You know-... and stuff... you know what we're gonna- Cool, important stuff... you know what we're gonna have at the new shop? A 3D [laughs] fucking printer. A bad-ass 3D printer, I'm telling you what. Yeah.
19:58
I wanna be printing in titanium. [laughs] Ooh. Life's the same. I'm printing in titanium. In titanium. Life's the same. Except for my shoes. Except for my shoes. See, you gotta go Fu Manchu slow.
20:12
You gotta go 45 back down to 33. Oh. Or 45 on a 33. Check out the Fu Manchu. That's what I'm saying. That's why you get down there for. Got the Fu Manchu. All right, so I- A shirt...
20:21
I, I'm in that middle zone between XLs and Ls, and I'm like, depending on the shirt, I would really like it if there was a middle zone in there, but this one's just a little snug.
20:33
XL minus or- Well, I, except I like baggy shirts, so I don't know. Bug. Maybe it's not that bad. A little tight across the chest where I ripple with my pecs. Bug. Pecs.
20:42
Yeah, you're built like the pr- proverbial Brit shit house. [bird screeches] [gasps] There it is. [laughs] Oh. [rock music] Oh, there you go. Little Chu Man Fu. You know what that reminds me of?
21:00
Let that run for a little bit. [bell rings] 'Cause it's top of the hill. I'm gonna go get us some beer. All right. Life's the same, except for my shoes. Life's the same, machine like treadmill.
21:16
Life's the same, it's all the same.
21:22
[rock music] It's so easy to blow your problems away.
21:45
All right, and now we avoid any copyright infringement. [laughs] You only stay a day. Well, to take a page out of Kim West's book, it's, it's music education, folks. This is- Indeed...
21:59
this is a great band doing a cover of a great song. Maybe you didn't know that, so.
22:05
I, and they do it a little- I think it was, I don't know if it was Kim West versus Sony or how it worked out, but Kim is a coffee shop lawyer, and actually a real lawyer too. [laughs] And somehow when he was...
22:16
I think he still does it, I'm not even sure, his Facebook- Oh, yeah, yeah... live thing where he plays a whole album side and- Well, he's welcome...
22:24
talks about the history of the album, and also a lot of cycling stuff, 'cause Kim's pretty great. Is he not? Pretty great- Or not-... on the cycling side of stuff... uh, running for governor?
22:33
I believe that he's running [laughs] for govern- I, is it- [clears throat]... 'cause, like, a serious run? 'Cause I'll, I'll put- I don't know how serious, but- Put it this way, I'll throw money at his campaign- Yeah...
22:42
because nobody can be worse than who they have over there in Ioegia now. When I, when I just kinda fly down the face place at times, it's just like, oh, wait, Kim West for governor.
22:51
I'm like, okay, I don't know yes, but if yes, if yes, yes, yes. [laughs] Yeah, he could be a two-ter- he could be a two-termer over there in, uh, Iowa probably. You know, he does good stuff.
23:02
He, he rides bikes, and, uh, and, you know, he helps people, and he, he rehabs greyhounds. I mean, what more do you want out of a governor, for- Right... fuck's sake?
23:10
So we're at the top of the hill with- Oh, right, on, we've been cleaning- [laughs] Well, it's, uh, it's more of a fridge- Line... cleaning- [laughs] Yeah... fridge cleaning scenario, but- It's left overnight.
23:20
It's left overnight. Yeah, Surly Furious, of course, a good one. Pseudo Sue, oh my God, that's a- Oh, that's good... one of the greatest beers in the world. I don't know about that Cryo Stache.
23:28
I, I tried to stay away from it, Hop Valley Cryo Stache, 'cause it's, uh- Oh, that's the heavy hitter... it, it's a heavy hitter. It's a, it's a, an imperial- I noticed that... it's an imperial, Tony. Oh, Jesus, God.
23:37
And it's sitting in front of you. Okay, well, I gotta su- just, or- It was either that or a Mango, um, Cart, but that's a wheat, and you're not a wheat guy, right? I, yeah, I can't do wheat. Yeah.
23:46
And I think I bought that as I'm an idiot. Oberon's wheat. You don't do the Oberon? Mm-mm. Oh. Ah. Well. Well. Well. I love it as long as I got a Benadryl close by. [laughs] An EpiPen. With socks.
23:59
Not quite that bad, but- Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah... close... I'm just saying, I got an EpiPen at home. When Colin released his- But then it doesn't help matter. [laughs]... incredible,
24:06
that crazy Colin beer, what was that thing? It was very wheaty, and I took two Benadryl before I went there and- I had like s- three pints at the public house for the release and I- It was just called Colin, wasn't it?
24:17
Was it- My Turn Colin... My Turn. Well, yeah, that's what it is. But it was the, the flavor is like it was some sort of imperial- Hefeweizen- Yeah, maybe... I believe, or a dunkel. A dunkel. A dunkel.
24:27
I think it was a dunkel. Yeah. Speaking of Mr. Ford, just, uh, he just moved to Flagstaff. Yep. Flagstaff, Arizona. Don't forget Winona. By cracky, that's a good time.
24:37
That's exactly what I was thinking when I saw the post. [laughs] Exactly. Same here. [laughs] I think that we should go visit him because Flagstaff is one of my favorite little towns in a mountain. Mm.
24:47
As long as you are behind the wheel. I'm keeping it all lyrically on, man. Reminds me of- [sings] Reminds me of Ralph Henderson and Lunz and I went to Durango, which later became Fucking Durango, 'cause- Oh, yeah...
25:03
what a great trip that was. Yeah, you showed some of that, uh, that footage. No, I got to- A little of it. Yeah, w- we have to... We, I, that should turn into some so- It, it's like, it's really f- funny to me and Dave.
25:15
Now, Ralph's passed, so I- I'm sure if he was still alive it would be funny to him.
25:19
But I, you, it's like when the camera's pointing out the back window and Pink Floyd's playing and you're just talking over it, it's entertaining to me. [laughs] But [laughs]
25:31
I don't know if it's really gonna be entertaining to everybody else. Hey, hey, what are those people doing out there? Sniffing. What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing?
25:39
What are you doing? Sniffer. What are you doing in front of our door? What are you doing? Sniffing. Tony, go see what they want. Huh? Huh? Tony, go check on them. Tony Burger, go check on those guys.
25:44
Burger Tony, Tony Burger. See what they want. They're, like, looking confused and... Oh yeah, that's because we have the gate closed [laughs] and the door locked. Well, that would- Ah...
25:54
[laughs] that would be prohibiting. I don't know w- how the sign that says by appointment is, uh, so misconstrued. Ah. They're probably here for the big old, dang old Bucks win. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go Bucks, go.
26:10
Hey, guess who showed up here from Norway? Janus? No. [laughs] No. [laughs] He's, he's from, he's from Greeks. Ah, yeah, yeah. Uh, Dan- But by way of Norway? Yeah...
26:20
Dan Guerrera is in town from Norway, I think to be part of this 50, once in a 50-year thing, thing. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
26:30
And, uh, by cracky, when- To get, to get 50 points in 50 years and then end up with- It's a lot of 50 and it's a lot of numerology there... and then 50 nuggets, uh, I mean, painfully from the
26:44
holy chicken joint that's closed on Sundays. I don't like to- Oh, yeah... shout their name out- Right. No... because- Nah... but I think they were just the one that was open latest. Or yeah, I know.
26:56
Or off grid enough for him- Yeah, 'cause that was a cute-... to, to do it... it was a cute video. I can't sleep, man. [laughs] Yeah. I have... My, my, uh, my little bug- uh, nephew on the East Coast, he wants to...
27:10
He, he wanted to be at the parade. He's like, "Oh, Dad, Dad, yeah, let's go to Milwaukee. We can, you know, hang with Uncle Scotty and da, da, da, da, da, da. Yeah, all's well," you know. It's like, yeah,
27:23
they said that on, uh, Wednesday afternoon. I'm like, "Well, you gotta, like, either jump in your rig and drive out here now [laughs] to get here by 11:00 yesterday." [laughs] Yeah.
27:33
That's a, that's a fairly short- Turnaround, yeah... turnaround, yeah. What did... I didn't... I think I might have gone for Saturday. Yeah. Yeah. But I think a lot of it was for, there were two players,
27:47
uh, on the Bucks that are playing on the US Olympic- Oh, right. Well- And I think they're playing on Sunday, so it's like- That would explain why the Olympic basketball team's getting their butt whooped- [laughs]...
27:57
'cause all of the, you know, a lot of the... well, lots of the main guys are still in the playoffs over hop. Yep, yep, yep. That, that big croco-mamy- It was a hell of a game. I mean-...
28:09
goofiness over there in Japan, they, they still might shut that whole thing down- Oh, of course... and it's just like it already started. Yeah.
28:16
I'm keeping one foot, you know, still on the f- merry-go-round because on anything, you know? Jeez, Sweden already beat the women's US soccer team for criminally. Are they gonna- How does that happen?
28:28
Are they gonna bring back the- They did nothing, right? I guess. I don't know. I didn't watch the game. I just read about it. Are they gonna bring back the, uh, Swedish bikini team or- What? [laughs] You remember?
28:38
The Budwei- Bud Light- As in playing footy or- Sure, or as whatevers... now there's been a lot of- But where are they now? There's been a lot of controversy, controversy about clothing. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
28:51
One, one, one Paralympic lady's too short. Yeah. Come on. These other- She's been wearing it for years... these other ladies playing the handball are wearing not bikinis. Shorts. They're wearing shorts.
28:59
It's like, hey, what, you gotta tell everybody what to wear? But they were snug- Like, uh-... snug as hell shorts, I do believe. I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey. I mean, what the hell?
29:08
Are you playing- Hey... fricking dress up, you know- Hey... Ken and Barbie bullshit, are we? Right. What'd those people want? Come on. What are they doing outside our door? What are they doing?
29:16
Uh, they were looking for a bike for the young lad, and he was looking for some sort of, like, Trek FX 80 hybrid type bike, and I said, "You need to take a trip over to Dream Bikes." Ding-a. Oh, yeah.
29:28
You could maybe, maybe, maybe you could stop over to the Truly Spoken maybe. I also suggested the Truly Spoken. I did. I did. I wish we had bikes to sell people. Right. Like, we'd really...
29:36
Well, we do, but they're all- Oh, you know, I could- They're all, they're all- Oh, it's not here... very fancy bikes. [laughs] He's, uh, he's not here.
29:43
Otherwise, I could have maybe looked at the, uh, the Roll while we- How tall's the boy? He was pretty tall. Yeah, he looks like he's- He was like- That Roll-... you're almost six foot tall...
29:50
you know, it's, I, I keep forgetting about that. We should get rid of it. Yeah. That bike should go down the road. Somebody should ride that bike, 'cause it's a nice bike. Wah, wah. Oh, man. All right. Hey.
30:02
Well, this was a great people's holiday, and there will be more. This is a, this is a spackled together- Yeah, we're gonna get- This is just the... This is, again, yes, amuse-
30:13
Well, there's going to be a special edition show, and we may spread that love over a few weeks. We should maybe come up with how many, how many questions?
30:21
Three, three to five questions for- People to answer on the podcast, yeah... this is a- 2.4 [laughs]
30:28
And- Two questions and then a half question They should all have to say happy birthday to mom What size, what size tires are on your car? Uh, oh, you don't have a car. Okay, that's good.
30:37
Um, you know, just random questions. [laughs] How many, how many years have you been picking daisies out of the garden? I don't know, whatever. You know, something.
30:45
But- How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a wood could chuck wood? Has that ever been definitively determined by how much strength they have and the grip of their claws and things of that nature?
30:58
Is that like the chicken and the egg thing? No. No. When you see the- It's like the, it's like the woodchuck chucking wood thing. I don't know how you can confuse the two. I don't know, 'cause it's a-
31:07
Seems- Existential question [laughs]... seems like it should be a no-brainer I'm a philosopher. I'm feeling very deeply. Speaking of no-brainers- [laughs]...
31:16
I'm pretty sure we fried anybody's brain that listened to this show. So thank you- Yes... for listening to Full Spectrum Cycling, and you know, we're gonna have this bonus RW 24 edition.
31:27
Heck, in a, if we're doing the show, I might even have the thingamajigger on, you can call in and say, "What's going on at the River West 24?" You know, 717-727-2457. Hmm. Oh, yes, I am.
31:37
