Welcome back to the Forward Podcast. Wow, I almost said welcome back to the stages podcast. I'm getting a little confused

Anyhow welcome back to the forward. I'm your host Lance Armstrong my guest this week

Citizen Cope, my man, Clarence, an amazing conversation that at times was touched on areas that were I could tell were clearly uncomfortable for him but

but also maybe at the same time something he wanted to talk about I think you'll enjoy it plus he rips two songs that if you're a Cope fan you will absolutely love this.

And if I sound a little depressed it's because I am.

It's a tough week. It's the week that we have to leave Colorado and go back to Austin

where it's 101 degrees for the next 10 days. Time for the kids to go back to school.

By the way, I probably said this last summer,

but the fact that kids go back to school

August 20th or 21st is way too soon.

It needs to be Memorial Day to Labor Day. That's what I think.

So let's get that, let's get back on track here, will we folks?

And then in other news, I just talked about stages. We just spent four amazing days down in Denver

Despite a little bit of crosswind

Initially about the status of stages ended up being great.

Thank you and a big thank you actually to the infinite monkey theorem for letting us crash the

Air Stream studio right there in your front parking lot.

Thanks to everybody that came out and

thanks to all the people that downloaded and listened and watched on Facebook live or

YouTube so much appreciated. It's a new event and a new format and I think you know for all the cycling fans. We're hopeful that

This is something that can stick around

So thanks for tuning in there and I won't waste any more of your time. Any questions, comments,
