This week's show is one of the shortest shows in months, right after last week's uber long marathon.

Let's be honest, Bob was drunk and did zero prep for the show, but Jules carried it off like a pro! Good thing he shows up on time! LOL!

After that giant digression, we get back to the real business of talking about motorcycle racing with a fantastic call that Jim did with Eugene Laverty! Excellent stuff, enjoy!
