Episode 99 - Smashing Miles and Immunity, AI or Bust, and the US Olympic MTB Hopefuls

What up party people. No funny business with weird hand stuff this week because Dizzle wanted another crack at the YouTube intro so I get to revert back to my normal into routine and not worry about how goofy I look doing so. We’re talking DJ smashing so many miles, the only stone left unturned was bolstering his dainty immune system, Dizzle taking a play out of John McCarthy playbook and utilizing one of life’s greatest resources to generate some new merch that will be coming soon, and before we dive into listener questions we riff a bit on the latest in the world of American XCO mountain bike racing with the youngsters already solidifying their tickets to the Olympics. All that an more coming right up!
