Summary

Journalist, writer, unintended comic, Jason Gay is a sports columnist and editorial writer for the Wall Street Journal. You don't crack into the WSJ and expect a chuckle unless you're reading something penned by Jason. Ted visited the Big Apple and the two of them sat down in an actual sound studio for the most crisp and lively of podcasts covering topics on two wheels and many more outside of cycling.

0:00.0	Hey everybody. Welcome back to King of the Ride podcast. I'm excited to have you back once again or here fresh for the very first time today. I am Ted King. I am your host and we're in store for a terrific show today. We've got something of a quick intro here. Our guest is something of an underground hero for cyclist. Jason Gay,
0:23.5	writer for the Wall Street Journal, sports columnist, as he describes it, I prefer sports
0:28.8	calmness plus. You see, given the loose rain, he's been given by such a thoughty publication.
0:34.4	For example, he hosts a video podcast called the unnamed pod

1:05.1	in his life.
1:05.9	And that is why I wanted to sit down and chat with Jason.
1:09.5	A self-described shammie sniffer.
1:12.1	Obviously, he knows the nuances of cycling with terminology up his sleeve like that.
1:16.9	This is definitely one of the most entertaining, most fun conversations I've been lucky
1:21.1	enough to have here in the King of the Ride podcast, certainly not entirely cycling
1:25.7	related, but by all means, please stay tuned through the very
1:29.0	end because it's in those final two minutes of a nearly hour-long conversation that we delve
1:33.3	into the state of modern media, which I find fascinating. Why do I have this podcast? What's the purpose
