This episode is mostly Host Nuggets. Hear about Matt's bike rides, Andrea's surgery, and Kenny's moto lay-down. After that, we've got a little new shit and a listener question. 

Giardia and surgery and motos, oh my!

Encouraged by whiskey and the wishes of our listeners to hear more unhinged Kenny content, Kenny starts his new series about operating motor vehicles. Matt worked on his jeep, and Andrea's garden and chickens had some small setbacks. 

Andrea is back this week with a new scratch on the 4Runner, Matt went river surfing again, and Kenny did his usual moto thing. They then dive in to new shit from Canyon, SRAM, and a listener question about a new e-bike that's actually more of an e-moto. Sort of. 

And, for your viewing pleasure, here's the AI-generated show notes that are so vague they could basically be used for any of our episodes...

Andrea's taking a mental health break, so Matt and Kenny go at it alone in this one. 

This week, Matt and Andrea talk about their e-bike adventure ride, Kenny talks motos and shop stuff, and they discuss the magic of moving from Memphis to The West (a good tie-in to the listener question about the proposed selling of public lands). 

New shit from Shimano, KS, Specialized, and more!

Listener comments, thanks, and a question that leads Andrea on to her latest conspiracy theory. Wait... is it only a theory if it's true? What do you think? 

The crew is getting back into the groove this week. Matt went to Memphis, Kenny recovered from his flu, and Andrea is feeling better... at least physically. 

Kenny is out sick this week, so it's just Matt and Andrea in a shorty to give you your weekly JRA fix. What long legged XC bike should Andrea get once she can ride again, and how should she build it? Matt is grouchy as usual. They talk new shit and whatnot. 

Sorry this one is a few hours late- I'm having a bad carpal tunnel flare-up in both hands. Note for the future- don't remove/install tires with cushcore if you have carpal tunnel. 

Anyways... This week, the crew talks favorite bikes, new shit, and reads about some listeners' old favorites. 

Matt had a boring week, Kenny drops knowledge about snake movement, and Andrea went for a birthday adventure. After that, it's on to New Shit and a listener submission about a favorite bike.
