Special Guest: Jeremy Powers
Calling all Two Johns Podcast fans, staging is happening now for the latest podcast!
We’re back in the friendly confines of the Two Johns Podcast recording studio after some time away racing & race promoting. As with any podcast following a longer than usual quiet period, this podcast is laden with loads of listener feedback. But first, we have a moment of silence for VDB, Silence-Lotto are now Cadel-less as he makes the run to BMC. Its been a Mud, Mud World in the local news as John gives a brief report of the Gun Club race, & cheeky maneuvers in the closing stages of day 1 of the USGP with good result, John K proves why he does the 35+ race as he does well & promptly injures his back. For our itunes listeners that missed it on the blog, next up is the Jeremey Powers Interview. We chase that with rummaging through emails we want to read, J-Hole lays claim to be the best when Rasta Roadie isn’t around, we get a top 10 list of why John G is anti-MTB, Scottish Roadie sends us a foe-ne-tic email in scottenese- John G assists John K with this, we also get a couple recommendations about an alternative cable/housing system that may remedy the premature wear & much more- in a surprise, the winner of this week’s email of the podcast is someone who remains comfortably numb.

If the “Plum Smuggler” does not like the imput from some listeners, then why does he not bugger off and go listen to the “Fredcast” , I will be at the Batchwood Roundabout at 9am on Saturday morning if he wants to take the FRR over the 10m TT. If your not there we all know the “Plum Smuggler” is yellow.

“What’s gonna set you free
Look inside and you’ll see
When you got so much to say
It’s called gratitude”.
I look forward to the prize, thanks as always for the entertainment.
PS: I love fun run robbie, Plum Smuggler, be prepared to have it handed to you!
Thanks for reading my email. Your Scottish accent is getting better John G. Required watching before the next podcast- Mike Myers’ So I Married An Axe Murderer. regards, Scottish Roadie
Head, pants, now!
I think it was: “Head, Trousers, Now!”
I have always imagined Scottish Roadie to sound a bit like this & to have one of these seen in the first scenes.

Look at that boy’s cranium! It’s huge! It’s got it’s own satellite.
or We got a piper down!
I’m feeling Mr Manners’ email.
I too have limited training time. Mrs Scottish Roadie made a promise on my behalf to a keen newcomer to the area. It was not even for cycling- she promised that I would go out hill walking and on photography shoots with the guy.
I have had to try to dig myself out of an awkward situation and explain (by email) that I am putting my spare time into training for racing next season. He hasn’t replied.
PS I do sound like that, of course, as all Scots have ginger hair, have very pale skin and are alcoholics.
perhaps i was a bit harsh with my advice for Mr. Manners. I have actually met some very nice people on “blind date” rides set up by well intentioned friends & family members. Most notably James Startt – http://altpick.com/jstartt – who became an accomplished racer and was a teammate for many years. He’s now living in Paris, taking pictures, and is European correspondent for Bicycling mag. He was totally green when I met him for an arranged 13.5 mph average speed ride one blustery fall day in Bloomington, Indiana. — john g.
Go FRR,
We know he ain’t the most seasoned or the fastest of cyclists but I’m sure Stewart will be giving it his all for those 40 odd minutes……
Dunkin.
My experience with newbies is limited as I warn them of my impatience ahead of time. Out of the 10 odd times a cyclist has invited themselves on a training ride, one surprised me and kicked my ass. It was a very humbling experience, and we made “fast” friends. Most people shy away from 5:30 am headlight/tailight required rides.
Hi Dunkin, -7 min please
The plum smuggler or as i call him the sugar plum fairy can be seen on the http://www.funrunrobbie.co.uk blog dancing to the ballet with his chums. FRR
I think I am just comfortably dumb.
Too much time on your hands “Fun Bung Blabby” How many Cycling Podcasts do you mail your mindless babbling to? You sound like the type that would like to dance with a set of plums.
How creative Roadfrog, smoke another one.
Plum smuggler, when you act like a jerk, don’t be surprised when you get treated like one.
As for smoking another one, I gave that up years ago and I swear I never inhaled.
Plum Smuggler……another name for Butt-Pirate? No offense intended, of course.
To the Plum Smuggler
I send a hand across the Atlantic Ocean hoping it will be shaken as an act of cycling friendship with you.
“Smoke the peace pipe” “Let bygones be bygones” and once again out two great nations can stand shoulder to shoulder in the name of cycling.
As a piece offering I would like to design “The Plum Smugglers Two Johns Podcast Coffee Mug”
If the Plum Smuggler can send me some images/ of himself/ or his cycling heroes. I will incorporate them into the deign with the 2JPC logo.
My e/mail is branxholme47@hotmail.co.uk
FRR’S hand is waiting to be shaken in the act of cycling friendship and camaraderie
FRR
This one is for the Plum Smuggler

Dornt tak’ onie jobby frae plum-boy, Fun Run.
Yer mucker,
LeGimpe
LeGimpe in no way endorses violence, racial hatred or combat between cyclist (except in the Keirin) but simply can’t resist having fun with that feckin’ accent!
Robert Burns is alive and well chapaue LeGimpe
Ah am afraid Ah did hae a wee help from http://www.whoohoo.co.uk/scottish-translator.asp. It’s a heap ay fin. Ah imagine th’ late Mr. Burns woods be th’ main soorce fur onie sic’ translatur.
But Ah rest easy, knowin’ th’ kin’ Mr. Robbie (an’ aw th’ radge scotsman fa infect th’ podcest) will forgife mah devioos ways an’ enjoy mah wee joke.
Muckers all,
LeGimpe
LeGimpe nailed it.
Cycling at times should be considered a bloodsport.
Rake him over the 10mile TT course and then hand him is plumbs back.
After he is de-friuted we can hook him up on a date with Bebe!
FRR, I will gladly accept your handshake. I would also like to apologize to you. My letter that was read on the last podcast was uncalled for. I didn’t really mean to insult you, I was trying to be comical. As for the mug, I appreciate the kind gesture but I won’t accept it unless you let me pay for it.
2 Johns, I hope one of you will mention this on your next Podcast.
La Paix. Finalement!
Wa dornt ye tois kimers gie a room? Whit is thes, a sewin’ circle? Thes is groon men fightin’ fur th’ ultimate prize!
Feelin’ lit doon,
LeGimpe
Handshake accepted, and may the cycling gods look kindly on you Mr Plum Smuggler

When Rome was falling apart, the citizens of Rome used to scrawl on the walls of the colosseum their requests for the following days gladiator matches. The puny and fearful Roman politicians, instead of giving them just laws, just answered their requests.
I feel cheated as an ancient Roman citizen would have been. We called for blood and all we got was smooching…
Next time, we bring out the lions to do what the boys won’t!
Civis Careo Cognatus!
DERF
Just don’t bring the Detroit Lions.
