Episode 121 - Life Time Grand Prix Updates, Cyclocross Rage, YouTube Comments, and DJ the Dancing Machine

What up party people. Alright, I don’t know exactly what was said in the YouTube comments (other than the ones we read on the air this week, some of which are hilarious) but Drew decided enough is enough and quit the podcast for good… nah I’m just kidding, he had some other more important life stuff to cater to this week so only graced us with his presence for a few minutes. The rest of us riff on some of the latest updates Life Time has made to the 2025 Grand Prix series, touch a little bit on some recent racing like this weekend’s Little Sugar sprint finish and Scott’s take on the Gravel World Championships, AND Eli Iserbyt getting DQ’d after have some cross rage in the middle of the race this past weekend, and a whole lot more to boot.
