Ya-Bone- Eh! & welcome to the latest Two Johns Podcast. When is a good tailoring job not necessarily a good tailoring job? You will find out in the latest podcast. Other contents of this normal length podcast are: We talk Giro, our Blockhaus predictions- see how close we were & final podium, John G. verifies his pick of Menchov in the ITT, on the road John K. has good sensations out of competition, & John G. will be working a two man booth. Then, of course, is the feedback where we get multiple female perspectives on the long discussed abstinence topic- more unscientific data is mounting, conclusive?, race length and nature’s call expectation, going to the bar to catch the race, a touch of wheels = instant crash?, wearing your bb, crikey- why don’t the aussie’s jerseys look like their flag? The John’s try to remember their first race, race stalker with a camera, Alva asks if you will know him by his socks, the race face goes to court, do we obey?, Cav in yellow- wanna bet?, Hairy Newbie changes of Hairless Newbie, Scots continue to invade- I may have missed one or two- but the Johns also get a chuckle also from the story of sewing & humility that resulted in the photo above. As a chaser John K. tries to connect Quality, The Source & The East. Enjoy!

HTFU=Harden the F*** Up. I beleive CSC or some team had “livestrong” style bracelets made with that saying on it.

HTFU is from “Chopper” an Australian comedy routine. A bit like an Aussie version of the US’s blue collar comedy stuff.
I think Stewart O-Grady introduced the HTFU wristband to his CSC buddies and it spread from there.

Looking forward to listening to the latest 2JPC on holiday next week in Greece. Will there be more appaling Scots and English accent impressions from the Johns.

I asked an australian pro cyclist as to why the australian national champion jersey is not the color scheme as their flag and he had no idea. He said it could have something to do with them still being under british rule and the green and the gold is a way to show country pride and be different.

Asahi “Kara Kuchi” = Dry Mouth = Superdry It says it on the can in small letters, at least in Japan it does.
No, my kids are not named Yakisoba and Onigiri
.. That’s even weird for Frank Zappa’s kids!
Onigiri is basically a rice ball with some flavoring mixed in, usually wrapped in dried seaweed. Seaweed is called “nori”
I have decided not to send back the slipstreams. When the podcast goes double Gold I will then have something very valuable to hock on e-bay.!

Green/gold is the Aussie “sporting” color. Their soccer jerseys, and all other sporting uniforms are green/gold. Same way the Dutch have orange. Yeah, it’s ’cause they hate the evil Brits.
Also, foot binding is (was) lovingly practiced in China, not Japan. Mmmmmm….tiny deformed feet.

Hi Johns,
Re the Australia thing, Australia is a monarchy, ruled by the Queen of England!
Keep up the good work and Ya-Bone-Eh!

Mark “Chopper” Reed is an infamous Australian outlaw turned author. A film about his life came out several years back, and it’s outstanding, btw. The HTFU bit is poking fun at him, as he’s a well known “hard man” in Australia. He is nicknamed “Chopper” because in prison he sliced his own ears off in order to be placed in a hospital unit after unsuccessful attempts were made on his life.
Funny bit, that.
