I am your host, Marky, King, and Jesus McDonald.

With me, I have four people.

Yes.

It's not necessarily the four people you expect.

There might be a curveball in there somewhere.

And you are one of the four people.

But not curveball uh the the man who has to be here basically for the podcast to get made that is one mr gabriel crash team

racing oh hello hello yeah are you okay i got super lucky yeah you got. What happened? So... Wait, this is why you got bandages on your arms? Yeah, and my knee as well. Oh, man. I crashed into a telephone pole on my bike. What were you doing? What were you looking at your phone? How drunk were you? No, no, no. I was getting ready for a nice... You're on the phone with Costco? No. What happened? My chain popped. Oh, you're kidding. I was going very slow, but my chain popped. Yeah. And I looked down to be like, oh, okay, let me see what's going on here, not realizing I'm careening left onto the road.

Wait, you're checking your chain while you're moving?

Yeah, because it popped while I was moving.

But your instinct was not to let's break now and stop.

My instinct was like...

That would be the normal thing.

I had this happen recently as well, and luckily, I mean, that can really fuck you up. You just mean it came off? Yeah. Oh, yours just popped off. Mine actually snapped. Oh, no, no, no, no. It didn't break apart. It just like fell off the gear. Mine actually broke it half. So like while I was pedaling, the pedal suddenly had no push behind it. So yeah, I mean, you could have easily Yeah, yeah.

So I actually, when I looked up, there was just enough time between me and the telephone

poll to realize I could not get out of the way.

So I hit the pole.

I flew forward and I actually landed on my right foot and actually like tried to stick it. Stick the landing. Stick the landing with one foot with cycling cleats on. I so want to see a video. I know. Does nobody do you check? Like local stores or whatever? Where was it? So I have my like, I have my biking computer. So it actually tracked the ride. So you see me go out, because it was at the very beginning. So I go out, go about 10 feet, hit the pole, and then I go back to my house. This was in the first 10 feet of your house? This was like just after pulling out. Wait, so obviously you didn't stick the landing. No, I did not. I didn't stick the landing. And then I fell to my side on my, on the left side. I hit the pavement with my left knee and then my right arm right after that. Tell me people saw this. No, thank God. No one was around. No one was around. But when my wife saw me, she was like, like oh my gosh that must have been so embarrassing
