Good point. And to be honest, I think where he's from likely plays a significant factor in his position, whether he's conscious of it or not.

Good question! Also related: why do we just leave the debris on the street after the crash? Why aren't the vehicle owners responsible for cleaning up or paying the city to clean it up? Are we so car brained as a society that we're fine when a bumper sits in the same location for weeks on end?

But at least you survived another day! 🎉

Oof, I feel you. Some days, I dream of carrying rocks and smashing their windows when they almost take me out. Then I remember this is America, and I'd probably get shot in broad daylight and get blamed for my own death in the media

My guess is it's effectively paying her off so she doesn't snitch on him...

Subscribed. I'm really looking forward to your coverage!

You are so right! But it's even better! A breakaway win... By an Italian rider! 🤯

This feels like societal failure all around. CfA does nothing (no incentive, they still make $$$). The city doesn't require CfA to do anything, nor does it use its own laws to disincentivize bad driver behavior (ticketing, towing). And we (consumers) just keep buying shit, consequence be damned.

We had a rat enter our basement... Through the sewer pipe!! No one is safe!! Lol. I never knew that was even possible, but that was the assessment of the exterminator who eventually got it.

So. annoying. Not sure if it works, but one solution I've seen proposed is to join the call yourself. If they want to have the conversation in public, it's open to the public! Of course, be safe 😉

They're going to be closing falls bridge for several years for repairs, once the MLK Dr bridge is repaired. I haven't seen what, if any, plans they have to improve bike/ped infrastructure. Hopefully, it get better

Agreed, but is it ever not gnarly??? Always in the top 3 cx races to watch. It never disappoints!

Interesting observation! Do you think part of that is the expertise of the interviewer? Intentionally or not, the podcasts I listen to have a lot of really talented interviewers who can get guests to share genuinely and naturally. Would you say your podcast hosts are, generally, expert interviewers?

Hi Jose! I'm happy to see you enjoying your experience here. FYI, I've seen advice to not delete your Twitter/X account, since someone can then take it later and use it fraudulently. Recommendation is to lock it down and leave it alone.

Ah, ok. I think he does best with improvisation and I would love to see some of his typical wackiness (a la hot wings). But he'll probably be toned down to generically please more of the audience

I'm not sure I understand... What's the problem with Conan? He seems like a good choice to me? The end of the article mentioned that John Mulaney was passed over before arriving at Conan. I

'm curious, who would you have liked to see instead?

This is a great list/resource for all of us coming from the other place. Thank you!

Sweet. Welcome to the wax club. But why the thermometer? Isn't melted wax melted and good enough?
