"The bob and Tom show. You should have seen me last night when I I fell down laughing and I stumbled down a flight of metal stairs. I went crashing through the window at the VFW hall. Tumbled or a pile of metal chairs. Then I cussed out my girlfriend tried to fill up her mama. My car, I think of bruise my spine on a go with me when I go out drinking. Always have myself a real good time. I got drunk and stole this boat out of the edge water. I sank her up my bucket point walked on in the town. Pour up someone's flowers on my way. Then I barged into cruising ahead through up on the rug. I slapped that hose to saunder bitch. I go out drinking. I talk dirty to the way to center never ever leave her no tip. I leave her all my roaches in the block for more. When I go out drinking always that myself real good time. So I'm going out tonight and I'm gonna tie on a good one. Does anybody here want to go out drinking with me? Yeah. Well, I take you to this biker bar where we can kick some ass. And I gave up. Look at our drinks. Tequila and a case of therapy. We'll wash it down with a gallon of cheap wine oh go away I go out drinking always have myself a real good time. I like to shout out loud and move the crowds when I'm dancing on the bar. Go out in the parking lot piss on all the cars. Give me that wine. Always have myself real good time feel heard I always have myself a real good man. Yeah. Hey. Good morning. It's the bob and Tom. Show. It's a really big really big show. Oh, there was a letter. From some newspaper colonists in north New York City, criticizing Ed Sullivan for having those hippies, The Beatles, those not non talented hippies, The Beatles on that zone. I was doing the Ed Sullivan imitation of what popped into my mouth. Okay. I've got a letter here. All right, sir. Hello, Christie. You saved more because they've been before. You're right.

"So what are your thoughts on the level of immersion required for this quote unquote metaverse? We absolutely do not need AR and VR in order to build the metaverse. And 30 years ago when I wrote the book, I had a different view of it and so I assumed that it would be all about goggles. A lot has changed since then and we've all learned a lot. Doom came out. The year after snow crash was published. And it's kind of almost hard to remember a time when there weren't games like doom, meaning games where your screen is a flat window into a three dimensional world. And so if you had described doom to me in 1992, said, well, okay, you're looking at a flat panel screen in front of you on a monitor, but you're seeing a 3D world through it. You're running around in that world. I'm not sure if I would have understood it or believed that that could ever really work very well. But now fast forward 30 years, day to day world that we're living in is one in which billions of people routinely access three dimensional spaces through rectangles on two dimensional screens be they the screen of a laptop or a phone that you're holding up in front of your face. And it works really well. And one of the really weird aspects of it is the primitive control scheme. So most people are using like the woz di keys on their keyboard plus a mouse in order to navigate these worlds. Keyboards are a Victorian technology, and yet the human brain is so adaptable that even as clumsy as that is, and as antiquated as that is, was the perfectly useful way of navigating around in 3D spaces. I'm going to talk about VR, AR as a whole different thing. But let me just talk about VR for a sec. You know, really VR, just because of the limitations on processing power and so on has high latency and other kind of quality issues. And I think pretty widely believed even as recently as maybe ten years ago that as latency got reduced as the quality of the experience improved that we'd see a decrease in the tendency of users to get motion sickness. Yeah, I think that there was a decrease, but it didn't go to zero. It went to maybe the last I've heard is like maybe 5, 10%. State of the yard quality VR are going to experience some symptoms. And in fact, I was playing a 2D video game just the other day where my friends and I turned on a new feature and we all had to stop. Because we were getting motion sickness. So imagine if you were trying to popularize television in the 1950s and said, we've got these great programs. We've got I love Lucy. We've got The Ed Sullivan Show, you know, entertainment for the whole family, 5 to 10% of you are going to end up throwing up into a wastebasket. After half an hour of watching this. Well, that's a really high bar to commercial acceptance of entertainment technology. For AR, it's just a different thing. I mean, by its nature, when you're reading an AR experience, it is or it should be somehow tied to the environment you're setting in. Because if it's not, it's just kind of bad VR.

"Occasionally. Do you have a rest? Well, that's probably two weeks maybe, two or three weeks. Let's see. I mean, realistically, we'll have you ride 6 hours per day, and you probably still want to rest day. It's going to take you a while. It's going to be three weeks, pick up the bike three or four weeks, maybe. And Brian, yeah, Ed is in the Boston area. I'm actually right next to historic conquered mass. My my normal bike ride takes me by that old north bridge. So, in fact, it was one time on it was on patriots day, and I was riding my bike through conquered center, and they do all these reenactments on the holidays. I almost got bayoneted. By a red coat who was busy looking at his phone, he's just looking at his phone with a bayonet sticking out into the road. And I thought, okay, holidays, I'm not the best time to riding Concord. Especially with redcoats. They come out. The Boston ride would take me through western mass, which is beautiful. I did that. But they're just. Very hilly back in there. Through Albany, and then you head up through Rome and come down to Syracuse. Out through Rochester and into buffalo. And then all the way down Lake Erie to Cleveland. I'd probably step to stay with some family down there. And then out across Ohio, you know, you pretty much go through Ohio, just south of Toledo, a straight across into Chicago, and then right across. Through Des Moines and in Omaha. So there you go. There's your 1562 miles all for a free bike. Brian says his brother in law just moved to woburn. And that is not woburn. It's wool burn. Woolbert.

"I think it is good enough. People who go to, you know, oddly, those are called the clipless pedals, even though you clip in. But that's just because on the old ones, they had metal clips. Hold your foot on the pedal. And people who first go clipless always tip over. Right, it's just, they'll stop and then start to panic and not quite remember how to get their foot out of there. And you just see them flip over. It's like a slow. Then as long as they didn't break anything, you can start laughing at them at that point. Yeah, well, you got to turn on the clips, right? You got to turn your turn. In or out, usually out makes more sense to me, right? Yeah. But yeah, so just like anything else, it becomes second nature, but first few times can be scary. Yeah, I think if I were going to go now, I would just do I just do those foot, the foot, the foot clips, the clipless clipless. Is that what they call a clipless? Is that what you said? You can just put your shoe in and it holds your shoe in place instead of clipping in. That's the old school with the clip and straps. Yeah. Yeah. The same sort of thing. I mean, because again, depending on terrain, it's just holding your foot against that pedal. On the clipless ones, a lot of it is you get more pedaling efficiency by pushing and pulling. Right. So you're actually getting more efficiency out of it on the clipless pedals, but for the average person, who cares? Yeah. For a guy like me, especially let's look at this commuter bike that I'm thinking about. So I was watching YouTube and this guy that I watch for he was testing all these team mobile routers, I'd subscribe to his channel because he was showing me these routers and stuff. And you know, that's the way I went for my Internet, so I was then he pops in one day with this with this e-bike. And he's like, you know, hey, this is, this is pretty interesting. This is a company called JSON, JAS ION, J, would you say JSON? How do you think you pronounced that? Something like that. It's a company. That's called JSON. I like that. I like that. And they've got two different models. They've got this EB 5, which is kind of a commuter bike. It's got a battery on the frame. You can see here that they'll say it's up to 16 miles, which will give you pedal assist for up to 16 miles. They make and sell the all the components for it. They've got a, they've got a smaller and I don't know what you would call these these folding flat or fat tire electric bikes that for commuters who want to fold it down and take it with them on the train or whatever and then maybe you have limited storage at your office or whatever the case may be. Want to fold it down. I'm not sure I'd go ten miles on a bike, little tiny tires and fat. But you'd feel kind of like a clown on that one, wouldn't you? I think I'm with the tiny little wheels. I think I would, listen, if I live downtown and I work downtown and I needed a commute two miles. Yeah. Jump on that thing. It folds down or whatever, or if I needed something where I needed to fold it down and take it with me. But the beauty on these prices and Brian just mentioned this in chat. It's like these things are either under 800 bucks, 7 19 for this for this bike. And again, I live ten miles from where I work. I have driven. I have ridden in before. It's a hilly. It's not flat. It's a little hilly. It'd be nice to have the electric assist. On it, I've never had that before. I was writing our B cycles here in town, and those had electric assist, and it was kind of nice. You know? So I don't know, Ed for 800 bucks. I'd have to watch some reviews and what kind of advice would you give me to the bike guy? Do they have any more info on specs of the thing or you just get a picture in your buy? Ah, that's a good question. Let's see if we get. Here's some battery. There's some battery information, three levels of assist. So it's got a 36 Volt ten amp hour, if you say it that way, battery capacity, three level pedal assist, 5 or 6 hours to a full charge, which in theory go in in the morning, use all of the power, most of it, put it charge it at work, then I'd have the battery back when I got home, and that would work about 40 miles per charge what they're saying. Oh, I'm getting close. Max load two 64 on this thing. I'm getting close at two feet. You can't bring much with you, Jim. I got maybe 20 pounds in there to work with. Right. And lose some weight. And you figured, okay, 40 miles per charge. If you get half of that, you're still good. Yeah. Yeah, 'cause it's 12, 12, yeah. And then you can charge at work, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, just plug it in at work, and it's got a little leds display to give you some information. I'm sure it's not that fancy, but you get a little bit of a little bit of that. More power is what they say. It's built into the hub. I like that. Three mining, let's see what else we get. Front suspension, pretty strong front suspension forks, mechanical disc brakes. You were talking about before and then a Shimano 7 speed derailleur. Interesting. So yeah, I mean, obviously the spec on the Shimano stuff is they're cheapest stuff. Doesn't make it bad. I mean, it's still durable. Usually. When you look at the bicycle componentry, yeah. All right, so scroll back a little bit. Because this is where you see it, e-bike weight, 49.6, at least it's not 50. It's

"That works much faster. It's more precision, but it's expensive. As with anything a bike related, you know, and I do have my old school fixed gear bike with just the one gear and no freewheel, so you got a pedal constantly. Yeah, how does that work? So breaking wise, are you pushing back on the pedal to break like you do old school or do you have hand brakes? Theoretically, you could do that. My knees probably don't want to deal with that. I actually have hand bray is the standard mechanical brakes, although I don't have disc brakes. That's a big technology thing on bicycles now is going to a disc brake. But for me, if you're just around the city on a fixed gear bike, not moving too fast, then you can pry back pedal to stop, if all of a sudden you're going down a steep hill though at 30 miles an hour, you're not going to be able to stop with a backpedal force. So yeah, yeah. Yeah. You know, it's not ten speed anymore, Jim, because that was kind of, you know, two up front and 5 in the back. Now, if you look at, for example, Shimano Dura Ace would be two up front and 12 in the back, 24 speed, some people set up three chain rings in the front, so you might have three by 11 in the back or 33 different in cares to choose from. I've seen three and 6. So three up front, 6 in the back for 18. Yeah. No, I think the best you can do is probably the three 33 would be about the limit theoretically you could do 36. Because part of it becomes just the wheel spacing. I think I said three in the front and 6 in the back. Justin said that reminds him of a mullet business in the front party. Absolutely. Yeah. So yeah, I mean, we're sort of hitting the limits right now because what they started to do is make the cogs in the back thinner and thinner and running thinner and thinner chains and at some point you're not going to have enough strength in the chain. If you make it too thin and you just really are not going to have space to fit any more back there, so. 12 is it for now, but you know how all this stuff goes when you think it's reached its limit, somebody will figure out a way to get more out of it. So do you need that, I mean 30 gears, like do you really need that many? Turns out there's some overlap even. Yeah, yeah. You know, yeah. But it depends where you're riding. If I were out to ride over mountains, not being a professional cyclist, I might want the three in the front to have a really low gear to keep moving up a mountain. But they did some things on the front where they have a compact gearing now, so. The big chain ring isn't as big as it used to be. And then, you know, you can select different cog sizes in the back. That'll give you what to chain rings. Enough gearing for a recreational cyclist to handle pretty much whatever they come across. There's a more recreational guy is not going to decide to ride up a mountain. Well, my, you get to make it a crazy guy like me who might try. You know, but most, in most cases, no. Listen, I'm the guy who tried to take the B cycle bike, you know, our city, rental bikes. I tried to take that on a 50 mile bike ride and with nothing, no hydration. Just go, right? No ID. Didn't even have my phone with me. I was just going to go. And I thought, well, I mean, you know, one thing led to another, I was going to go ten, and then I thought, oh, I'll try 20. Well, 25 is not that far. Then I get out 25. And I'm like, well, man, I'm there. Until I turned around. And then I'm like, oh, I'm not there. John says 25 back. John says you'll go halfway up the mountain. I know. As it turns out, that's fine, 'cause you get to go downhill on the way back. That's right. That's right. Well, Jim, is the Tour de France making you want to ride up out to us? No, no. Those guys look miserable, you know? They get to the end and they're just spent. What I can't imagine is they get to the end and they spent and then they do it again the next day. Like they look like at the end of a race where they're going to be they recover for a week. Nope, they're going to ride the next day. I don't get it. I don't get it. Well, I went on a bike tour in France. That's probably almost 20 years ago. Yeah, we rode up one of the Tour de France climbs mount von two. And the thing you forget

"When there's cars coming up behind you. Which is particularly helpful for some of these damn teslas that sneak up on you, Jim. I know those Tesla drivers are just the worst, right? No sound. They're just sneaking up on you. I mean, really, depending on the speed. You should be able to hear tire noises from any car. But, you know, some folks seem to insist on wearing. Headphones when they're riding a bicycle which I would never in my life do. That's crazy. What's the name of this of this unit? This is called varya is made by garment. You know, I've seen other ones that are kind of interesting for night riding, where they'll actually project a line on the road. For the drivers, but, you know, having ridden a lot at night in some of these long distance events. I find that most drivers tend to give you more space at night than they do during the day. Okay. You know, as long as you're well lit, they sort of come up on you and think, oh my gosh, what the heck is that? And they'll tend to slow down and give you a wider birth, whereas during the day they might buzz by you a foot from your pedal. On the roadside of it. So when you think about being lit in the sense of your bike being do you are flashing strobes better than just a solid light on or a reflector, but is there any thought on that of what's better? I think the flashing strobes are a mixed bag for me. You know, they're going to get somebody's attention, but they are also likely to be more annoying to a driver. I mean, if you're on a dark road, they're going to see us all of the light anyway. But I have noticed some folks use them daylight time too. And the flash is still noticeable. You know, you've been out in my neighborhood, you go from sun to shade to trees. So, you know, sometimes you'll definitely notice a rider. Whose way up ahead in the shade, much sooner, if they're running a flashing light on the back, so the other thing too is one thing that can be helpful is some kind of side lighting doesn't have to be flashing, may be something passive, so when I wrote a lot at night, I would tend to put some reflective tape. Even on the wheel rim or something, just so that if you're being lit from the side by an oncoming car, at least it's more discernible. Getting T boned is just as painful as getting hit from behind. It absolutely is. You know, for me, the worry was. Yeah, Justin sort of agrees. He doesn't like the flashing. It's harder to tell distance with a flash. And some guards in May for some for some drivers may confuse them. No, an honestly, these leds are bright enough. You're just running a fixed red LED in the back at night. You're still going to be visible from a very long distance. The other thing, too, is if you're riding, well, I suppose at dusk, you may only have the light in the back, but if you ride, if you're riding with a front light as well. I mean, a driver even from a distance is going to see the light in the back as well as the fact that you're lighting the road with your front light as well. So overall, yeah, I feel like drivers give me more space at night with lights on. Okay. However, then you've got to start worrying. Okay, well, have they been out to the bar tonight or Friday nights probably not a great night to be out biking. No, and over the years, it's become way more of a concern with me with distracted drivers. You know, people who are busy looking at their texts are not noticing whether you have a solid light or a flashing light. Yeah, no. What about, what about gearing? So, you know, I think way back to my schwinn pen speeds when you had the gears down on the frame. And then they got moved up to the top of the frame and shifters have certainly taken on a whole new I mean, there's just so much technology in those now. Do you prefer to go manual? Or do you like, I know there's some auto shift stuff that's for you. I don't think anybody has perfected the auto shift yet, although on my primary bike, I have moved to electronic shifting. So how's that different? So there's a motor in the derailleurs. And so really, you're just clicking a button. It's not mechanical at that level. It just sends a signal down to the motor to change the gear and

So that we could, you know, you could grab it on your run and not have to carry it. Yeah, that was a bit of a problem when I was training for some of these longer rides, right? You have to figure out, okay, I got to go out and ride a hundred miles today unsupported. I don't know where I'm going to find water. I don't know whether I'll get lost. That's easier these days because of all the mapping functions on, even the Garmin has maps, and of course, cell phones are much better now. John Biggs says during the Disney marathon about three quarters of the way through they offered Hershey's miniatures no thanks. One of my favorite things, Jim, when I was out for those long rides, it wasn't her, she miniatures, but the payday candy bar. Because you've got some protein with the nuts, you've got some sugar. It's really on some of the long rides. That was the only time where I would drink regular Coca-Cola. That'll revive you when you bonk till it's just at least give you that chart of sugar.

"The, with the peloton indoors while there's only virtual hills, which isn't as good a trigger for me. I just try to make sure that I'm getting some water into the body every 5 minutes or so anyway, but, you know, back in the day I did, if you're riding long distances, sometimes I found the Gatorade to be a little bit much. To be drinking a whole ton of it so I usually just alluded the Gatorade. And you know, other than that, the problem on the long ones. The longest I ever did in the qualification rides after I did a 300 kilometer ride, where it was 96° in the heat of the day. I decided, yeah, this long distance stuff is not for me. This is really, I was riding with my brother two weighs a 140 pounds. So it flowed up, what I didn't realize is that these qualifier rides is this for Boston Montreal Boston, so they looked for every hill they could find on the 300 kilometers and hid it flowed up the hill like a butterfly. I was working a lot harder in him to get up those hills. But that was long day on the bike because I think the ride started at 3 a.m.. So you had to have lights and at that time. Yeah, the leds weren't weren't available, so I was riding with a dino hub. Which generates power. So this was a front hub that generates power to power a halogen light. As well as a rear light. It's taken a little bit of, I mean, to do that. It's taking not much, but it is taking some of your efforts, some of your momentum. Sure. Yeah, there's some loss of efficiency in that, but you know, I think for most folks, water is going to carry you unless you're out for on a very, if you really out on a very hot day, you probably want some electrolytes and there were times where I'd take a bottle of Gatorade and one bottle and water in the other one. But I like to mix on the races, they would make the Gatorade from powder. And they would automatically dilute it. Sure. And so I made that mistake so many times when I was running marathons was, you know, you'd get out in the first half and it felt good and you're all trained up and you just out there running around, you know, high 5 in people and you just don't drink enough. And you don't need enough. And I was always afraid like, well, I get a crayon or, you know, whatever. It is, it's a big deal. You got to get, I always made that mistake. I never drank early enough. Really, once you fall behind on the hydration, you don't catch up. No. No. That was to like three days later. You're just drinking for like three days, trying to get rehydrated, you know? Yeah, and that was always what people would tell you. Drink before you thirsty and eat before you're hungry. Although for me, I don't know, you probably didn't have a lot of eating to do on the long runs, but you'd want to consume quite a few on marathon. You want to get quite a few calories in before you'll bonk pretty hard at 20 if you're not. And that I always did, 'cause I never have shot blocks and some of those kinds of things. And then in most of the marathons, they'd have stops, not stops, but they'd have people along the way with stuff. And I just never, I never, I always felt like, no, I don't need that. And that's so dumb. I should have, you know, I should have hydrated and ate every station. A big guy to begin with. So it takes a lot of calories to move this guy. 26.2 miles. And I used to ride a lot of century rides, hundred miles, right? Yeah, always made that mistake of, okay, I'll just skip the 25 miles stop. We'll hit it at 50 and by then. It might be too late. Yeah. Well, it was always a pride thing for me. I'd be like, I don't need that. These runners are pulling over at the water station, the very first one. Two miles, three, and then people are grabbing water and I'm like, I'm too good for that. I don't need that. No, I should have I should have grabbed that and for early on, that would have probably served me well. Well, and those blocks and the liquid goo were just kind of disgusting. They're awful. Terrible. Yeah. I was more of a fan of the clif bars. Those were big, but stuff it gets stuck in your teeth and then has your riding you were never short. Did

"Already spent a fortune on the bicycle. I've got a custom built titanium bike that I bought it's probably going on 15 years ago, but at the time just that frame was, as I recall about $6000. I was just the frame, right? And then all of a sudden when you're starting with that and adding, you know, all the components to that, that one even, you know, 15 years ago came out over $10,000 for that bicycle. So unless you're really into it, I don't think you even go the power meter route for somebody who's just getting into this most folks if you want to do that, you know, just go with heart rate zone training if you want to track progress on it and that's a lot simpler. You don't need all these fancy sensors. But, you know, for me, this is my major hobby. He a little bit more than a huffy. Yeah, 'cause Jim hopes to get a bike that powers itself for we'll talk about that at the end. About the price of the power meter spindles. Yeah. Well, you know, it's worth it's worth the question. The question I think is worth asking. So we'll kind of talk about that towards the end. So Ed, you've got all this data coming in, it's all coming in to Strava. Do you spend? Do you obsess much about your data at all? Or is it used to really obsess about it and now it's sort of more just check in from time to time? How are we doing? Because you'll see from the time you start the cycling season, especially with a winter off in New England, until you get to the end of the season, you'll see, you know, remarkable improvement in the average power, you know, back when I was riding more steadily, I would normally on a ride be closer to 200 watts of power. Of course, then again, I was younger too, right? So part of it is you get to a certain age and it's probably not healthy to obsess too much over these stats because you're never going to match what you did in the past. You know, so it's sort of like, let's just, let's just get a base at the beginning of the season, whatever that is, which is way less than it used to be. But just build from where you're at, or you don't see as fast as improvements. I mean, you can improve. Absolutely. They just don't come as fast sometimes. They don't, you know, and listen, everybody's everybody's mileage it might vary. You know, any kind of workout, so you drop a bunch of weight and you're probably going to see some improvements in your workouts because you're not carrying all that extra weight, right? Well, and that's an interesting thing, right? For me, I can track the watts, but it's not meaningful necessarily from person to person. And what people tend to talk about is watts per kilogram. Right, because if I'm putting out a 135, and somebody who weighs a 140 pounds is putting out a 135, they're going a lot faster than I am. Yeah, they just less mass, right? Push down the hill or, you know, just push in general. You know, as I was looking at some stuff for this, let me find that link. I saw a sort of an interesting. Interesting stationary bike that is not a peloton. And where did I put it? I got too many links, Jim. John says less muscle to generate power. Well, yeah, true. Mass muscle does way more. There's this weird, you know, there's this weird time as you're overweight and you're losing weight, and if you're working out and putting on muscle mass, so weighs more than fat. And so there'll be this time where you'll plateau, right? Well, now, here's a stationary bike that you attach your power pack

"But I kind of prefer the power because it's a set measurement, right? I don't know about you, Jim, but you probably, when you're out running, when you were a runner, you remember that, Jim? It's a long time ago now. It feels like. But depending on any number of Jim variables like you're tired or, you know, you didn't get enough sleep, you'd see. It's really the same effort you're putting out for different heart rate results, right? So the power zones don't really lie. You know, it is what it is, and it's sort of interesting with the power zone training. I'll usually know a couple days in advance. When I'm getting sick, right before the actual symptoms show up, you may have noticed that too when you're you were running it, it'd be like, wow, the heart rate's really high today. I didn't feel like I was pushing that hard. I wish I had trained to more heart rate. I didn't train with heart rate in mind. I kind of trained for distance or for comfort or for I just didn't, in those days I never wore a heart rate monitor, and then the watches weren't, we still didn't have the heart rate and the watches when I was running. So I just didn't pay much attention to it. The other thing that doesn't impact you when you're riding indoors is even if I ride the same route every time. And I can look at, did I ride it faster this time than last time? Well, you've got more factors on the road, especially wind, right, so

"It's very much the same experience, except for those slight differences, the problem I have with it is, okay, you bought this thing and now they want, it just went up recently, $44 a month. Actually get the subscription. Now, you can certainly use the thing without that subscription, but then you're not getting all the benefit of it, and I think you, Jim, actually, signed up for just the app, which is an option also. For a while, right? I think I did it a couple of times actually when I enjoyed the times, it never translated to my workouts here at home. We had a stationary bike at work, not and not even close to peloton. But I would put my phone up on that had a little phone stand on it, and I would watch the workouts. And I'd get, I mean, I got some pretty good workouts in just using the app and I think that's 15, maybe 12, 15 a month to just subscribe to their workouts. Yeah, 12.99. You know, anyone that's ever said, I'm going to the gym to ride the stationary bike. It's very easy to sit there and do next to nothing. Just turn in the pedals. Taking in the view at the gym. So I find it very helpful to have the structure of their workouts and they've got a whole bunch of different kinds of workouts, but part of it is for me, it seems expensive at 44 because it's just me. I'm the only one riding the bike, and they do offer a lot of other things. You've got the treadmill stuff, I think there's weight training, there's yoga in there, and you can actually have the entire household with accounts. So, you know, if you've got three or four people in the household, then the 44 doesn't seem as expensive. But part of the reason I liked the peloton is that they give you pretty good riding metrics, which you wouldn't have gotten, but you may have seen them on some of the gym bikes. You know, heart rate monitor. So you'll get heart rate, they'll show you your current cadence, but the thing I really like is they actually show your power output. So what is that? What does that mean? Because I've heard this term lot, right? It's not like a lightbulb watts or what does that mean? I've never been able to figure that out. So they figure the wattage and I don't know if that aside from being a measurement, I don't know how interesting the calculation of it is, but it really relates to the gear that you're in. And the RPM, right? So you could be in a lower gear with a higher RPM and that would be functionally equivalent to a high gear low RPM, but in general, what do I have here for stats a beginning cyclist might be 75 to a hundred watts per hour. Our watts in a one hour period. So you're maintaining that 75 to a hundred. You know, they say a fit person, it'll be over 100. In the Tour de France, which I know you're watching, they'll put out about 400 watts per hour. For, you know, 5 or 6 hours in a row. Those guys are crazy. That is. I don't know what inspired me to watch Tour de France. But I guess I saw one of the extended highlights of it on YouTube. Maybe it was, I think it was day two. And I started watching it, and I just thought, you know, I've never watched an entire tour. This is going to be the year. I'm going to catch the you can't watch the full version. That's 5 hours. It's way too long. But I catch the 45 minute NBC extended highlights, I think, is what they call it. They have a highlights and then an extended highlights. And already, I saw what were 12 days in and I think already like I'm like, oh, this is kind of hooked. This is kind of interesting. It's kind of fun. I think them having the summaries at the end of the day, you know, they'll edit it down to, what do they have about a 5 minute version and then a 45 minute version? Yeah. The 5s are a little short, actually. I like that 45. You don't get any of the 5. You don't get any of the drama. Yesterday was quite the drama as the yellow shirt guy. He's the key to the leader, lost, lost his shirt. And to somebody else and there's a whole bunch of drama involved. No, to be clear, he's not just riding bare chested now. I think I just ripped the yellow shirt right off of him as he passed. Have you figured out the polka dot one yet, Jim? King of the mountain is the bokeh dot green. Sprint champion or sprint? White? Is that the overall point leader? No. No, the white is a new rider. So it's sort of like The Rookie shirt, The Rookie of the race so far. And something like that. Yeah, well, and John's asking, you know, whether I try to bike within a specific heart rate zone. So that is certainly a method of training that a lot of people use. I actually do more on the power training, so they sort of define 7 different power zones. Which will get you into certain heart rate ranges, you know, if you're in zone three zone four for a sustained time then you're probably at 80% heart rate range. So the higher zones in the power training are definitely going to push you to anaerobic levels. But I kind of prefer the power because it's a set measurement, right? I don't know about you, Jim, but

"Over the years I've spent more on bicycles and I would have spent on cigarettes, although it's probably close. And so I started writing mountain bikes back then, and have continued to ride, you know, different years, you get different amounts of riding in because I was traveling a lot for my job back in the day. And, you know, once I retired 5 and a half years ago, I was getting good cycling in on till 2019. You remember that? The whole COVID thing. And I don't know about you, Jim. It just got to be not fun. You remember at the beginning? Well, if you go out running, you got a mask up and people would yell at you. And you're in Massachusetts. And they were taking it super serious. Very seriously. So I sort of never got going in 2019. So when 2020 came around, I thought, okay, it's time to get back into it and get into the season a little late, so all of a sudden I'm just getting into it and it's getting to be the end of August. So at that point I thought, okay, I want to carry this through this year. So I went out and had a look at the peloton. And decided, okay, I'm going to get one of these. So part of that is peloton for me, you know, they've got a lot of negative press lately, I think. I have some business problems. Not necessarily. I mean, they did have that. They had that treadmill problem. The treadmill one. I haven't heard problems with the bikes, although. Then there were a couple of TV shows where they felt it necessary to put the peloton in the show and have people have heart attacks and fall

"The NASA minute. With Kevin mason. I was sitting there watching TV the other night when I came to the sad realization that my wife and I are now old folks, and it has nothing to do with our age. It has to do with what we've been watching on television lately. On Saturday nights, when we've got nothing going on, we watched the Lawrence Welk show. For my wife, it's nostalgia because it reminds her of her grandparents. For me, well, it reminds me of everything I hated about television. When my dad was working in Illinois, the TV station he worked on, Saturday nights, he haw and Lawrence Welk back to back. It was an hour of torture. Now those programs, I watch, and I love. Then what are we watching most weeknights instead of watching the TV news? We now watch an hour of The Ed Sullivan Show. My wife doesn't really remember it. She's seen the clips over the years. I lived it as a kid, at least I think I lived it because I remember some of the bits. I remember some of the people, but some are just downright foreign to me. I remember as a kid, I loved topo jijo. I look at it now and go, what was I loving? Of course, now we watch for the old rock bands and things like that. That's more enjoyable. Ed Sullivan, Lawrence Welk. I'll admit it. I'm an old man.

Like kind of like you'd picture from the biker movies and black leather chaps and and was kind of an intimidating figure. Well okay you were scary looking guy you would come on stage in everybody in the room would kind of lean back a little bit and what was so interesting was that you had this kind of scary big persona on stage but off stage. A lot of the staff commented on you being one of nicest guys they ever worked with and by the way. Thank you for that When i told several the old staff people that i was going to be interviewing you. They were not only a very excited. That we connected but wanted to share that you're one of their favourite people to work with because you were such a nice guy off state so there's that but then when i would go through the rules at the beginning of my set rule number one was always tip your server would. Yeah we reinforce. The course of the evening because i came from a background of like over thirty years in food and beverage the bartender by cook in my mom's restaurant when i was thirteen. So so food beverages my blood. We'll show you imagine this. Big intimidating guy Laid out in black leather coming out and pointing at the audience. And saying you will tip the waitresses. I learned.

Yeah okay specs might get some you know that now all of a sudden that charter placement. I didn't even think of that. Charter placement becomes kind of important from versatility standpoint. Like again if you get that listen. I don't think this is the last time we're going to have battery issues of it. It's just the inherent nature of the member. Remember we had those kangaroos those those and i you came back to that thing and it was. Yeah it was like. Oh i mean i am lucky. That thing didn't catch fire. And so you know it's we kinda i think. Sometimes we kind of approach these batteries. Like oh yeah. They're super safe or thinking aaa or aa batteries to sit in a drawer. Forever whatever are sitting sitting in a device you know a duracell. Not that i know of is ever just burst into flames. So don't really think of it but these these new batteries for whatever reason just continue to how we continue to see these kinds of problems with them and at. I just kind of caught me by surprise. And you're like yeah. Their recommendation is don't charge it in the garage. You know no yeah so that they could put a damper on things for people. Well yeah especially people you know. Mike is thinking about you who who are set it up thinking like. Oh yeah i'm gonna. I'm gonna put this thing in my garage and it's gonna power the house and like or a. Could you know you don't do that in an emergency right. Yeah but but you know and then all of a sudden you're thinking well what if i can't what if i can't put that thing in the garage. What if i don't want to put that thing in the garage show. It just got me thinking. If i ever get to that space if i ever get to that point boy. I'm really going to think. I'm carefully about that placement of the charging cable or at least where the charging cable plugs into and make sure the length of the one that i have would cover both an indoor and outdoor charging scenario. You know so to speak so edwin. What's going on with the volt then is it. Does it got to go back. Or are they gonna. Wh what's what's happening with that thing. They sent me a nice recall. Notice today saying they have no idea. Oh yikes they've got to wait until. Lg figures what's out what's going on with the manufacturing process and then. I think the plan is to replace the mall. The estimated cost to chevrolets one point. Eight billion dollars for the call and so they're busy pointing fingers at l. a. Share that burden well and kind of a drawback to right not owning that part of the that part of the process. Right tesla owns it. All right from from you know from cradle-to-grave on those cars. They own everything where i think the american manufacturers ford i dunno mike. Do you know like you know who's manufacturing the batteries for four at this point i don't know most trucks american-made is to kind of big of it but you know obviously everything everywhere. I'm sure just just one of those you know when back when we had the firestone fiasco you know right and and you just they don't own though i mean i guess tesla be would be opened that too. They don't make their entire but or do they don't make their entire. Okay yeah battery. Technology can affect everything because even ham radio right because him being portable a big thing. Batteries do you use and you know. They're expensive but these lithium iron phosphate. Batteries is definitely the way to go right but they are. You know for a twenty an hour. It's about one hundred and fifty dollars for that battery. And i thirty amp hour. Sla the sealed lead acids for like forty bucks but safety he all those things. Those lithium iron phosphates are way better and they last a lot longer. They can do a lot more charged cycles than those essays can but it's kinda cool to watch how that battery technology gets better and then goes into every industry even ham radio of all things right right so it's interesting. Tesla uses l f p batteries in their chinese-made cars. Right now but really. Yeah because What they can do is i. The llp's have less energy density than a lithium ion on right so it needs more space for batteries so right now in the space of the model three if they put it in and llp. They can still do the do the standard rage pro plus. They can't do the long range so most recently. They've decided to bring the lsf. Ps to the usa for the standard range plus because they don't have enough of the lithium ion batteries to meet demand. And you know it's interesting because once they cram a few more in the same space. The range is pretty close. Maybe ten miles less. However you can charge the ele- piece to one hundred percent So it nets out to about the same thing on nail use basis That's the wild party to even even in ham radio those those s. l. as you're really not supposed to go down below fifty fifty percent right so got thirty amp hour. You really only fifteen. The the life batteries. You can go.

And it's inspiring you know for them to start their own kind of mom and pop business as they as they have and they grown it to the level that they have. I'm really proud to be a part of their circle. Well we got lots to get into but we always begin the episode. Every time we have a first time guest the same way and that's the essence of the show. The the question. We always ask just like every rock song has a hook. That sucks you in rock fan has a moment whether it's a band performance a song or album that hook them on rock and roll. What was it for you. Wow that's a big question The thing that hooked me on rock and roll was. I saw kiss on the midnight special on my television. When i was in the seventh grade and i it was the equivalent. I'm sure jay of our older friends. When they saw the beatles on ed sullivan that was the equivalent of that moment for me. No one's ever asked me that question to tell you the truth You know. I grew up my my folks to this day man. Both my parents love music and so it was a very musical household. The radio was always playing in. Dad would buy vinyl records of perjury artists pop artists and but yeah that was when i felt like it was something that was specifically mind. You know my parents not care for kids. They played black diamond complete with this. You know the rising drum riser in the pyro and everything manages your that. Messed me up preordained. I think it put me on the path for sure. Your kiss was an inspiration for a lot of musicians. And i think it was just the the imagery you know the the faces and the explosions and all the stuff. That kind of just pulled you in you know. The music was great too. But it just had like this power over young kids. I mean i got exposed to kiss back in like the early eighties. And i always remember knowing of them in knowing what they look like before i heard their music and then i heard their music and then i was just hooked. Yeah you know. I you know. I'm i'm probably a little older than you. So you know that midnight. Special show man that would have been nineteen seventy seven grow. This was this was early. This was. I believe this was between kiss alive. One destroyer and You know it was cool. Because i had a group of friends at school that you know we were all kind of discovering rock and roll at the same time and i remember that year in school that no kid and leonard skinner. I'm from the south. And so you know sweet home. Alabama was already the national anthem for us. And so you know the musicality of a ban like skinner We love led zeppelin and You know not long after that. We really got into bands like rush pink. Floyd bad company was big call. Rogers greatest singer of all time. You know things like that. So that set the table for me. I guess jay and then the two big bands not long after that you know when i finally started going to concerts where we saw thin lizzy. Ironically i saw them in seventy nine and that was a game changer for me and The the next summer. I saw van halen for the first time and i was cooked like that's it. I'm i gonna play guitar. You know. I have friends who go to college and get a degree and and and pursued that actually and it wasn't until i had already graduated junior college that i really ever thought of even considering it to be possible to play music as living especially for women coming from such rural backgrounds. There was nobody from where i came from. That was a professional musician. You know so. It just didn't seem possible.
