| 0:12.8 | Whether you're a big bike racing nerd like me, |
| 0:14.5 | or just like watching the world's biggest race every year, |
| 0:17.0 | it's a pretty awesome way to augment your enjoyment of the race |
| 0:19.7 | with a very straightforward competition. |

| 1:23.3 | Yeah, we were used to record on Skype back in the day. Zoom didn't exist, I feel. |
| 1:28.4 | Or if it did, we didn't know about it. Like, definitely wasn't aware of it. It does feel a little bit nostalgic actually. Yeah, yeah, let's take a moment to reflect on how far we've come as individuals and podcasters. It's actually insane if we think about what we were doing in 2017 and where we are now in life. |
| 1:48.0 | Well you were racing bikes and I was freshly out of racing bikes. |
