"I will utterly sweep away everything from the face of the earth," declares the LORD. In the days King Josiah, Zephaniah speaks God's Word of judgement. Focusing on Judah, he admonishes the worshipers on rooftops bowing to the stars, priests swearing to the YHWH in one breath and by Milcom in the next. His prophecy is clear: the great day of the LORD is near, near and hastening fast, a day of wrath, distress, and thick darkness, and neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them.  The Rev. Greyson Grenz, pastor of Community Lutheran Church in Flat Rock, MI, and Trinity Lutheran Church in Monroe, MI, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Zephaniah 1:1-18.  To learn more about Trinity in Monroe, visit tlcmonroe.org. Edom stands at the crossroads and watches his brother Judah dragged off in chains, and Obadiah announces that the day of the LORD is coming for the bystander, too. Joel sees a locust swarm strip a nation bare in a single season, calls the people to rend their hearts and not their garments, and promises a Spirit poured out on all flesh. Nahum returns to Nineveh a century after Jonah's revival, and this time the superpower does not repent. Zephaniah spends two chapters on the day of wrath and then ends with the Lord singing over the people He has rescued. This series on Thy Strong Word works through these selected books of the so-called "minor" prophets verse by verse, showing how the Lord judges the nations while also keeping his promises to gather His people home.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations. Submit comments or questions to: thystrongword@kfuo.org.

Garth Brooks and Willie Nelson gave Corey Kent advice that helped change the direction of his life. In this episode of God's Country, Corey joins The Brothers Hunt to tell those stories—and opens up about getting fired with a new baby at home, leaving Nashville, building a life in Texas, and redefining what success really means. Corey shares how he handed Garth Brooks a burned CD containing the only three songs he had written, why he confidently claimed they were ready for country radio, and the life-changing message Garth later sent him. He also remembers singing with Willie Nelson as a teenager and receiving the advice that first sent him to Nashville. The conversation goes deeper into faith, family, fatherhood, hunting, and the emotional moment Corey experienced on his family's Oklahoma land before delivering his grandfather's eulogy. Plus, he talks about “Wild as Her,” his upcoming album Heartland Rock N Roll, working with Jason Aldean, and why he plans to live his life in seasons.

Actor Alex Zuko pulls up a chair at the coffee table to share how a five-month trip to India turned into a full Catholic reversion, and how that journey eventually led him to play a grieving priest in the award-winning short film "A Great Day." Julie Nelson and Chris Magruder talk with Alex about forgiveness, the sacraments, and the surprising miracle that saved one of the film's most powerful scenes. From Munchkin to the Big Screen Alex's acting career started in elementary school, playing a Munchkin in The Wizard of Oz, and grew through high school theater into a degree from the University of Florida's School of Theatre and Dance, where he graduated with honors before building a career in commercials, student films, and independent features. A Reversion Story from India While extending a trip through China, Tibet, Nepal, and India by five months, Alex spent two weeks volunteering with the Missionaries of Charity — caring for handicapped children in the mornings and the destitute and dying in the afternoons. Daily Mass became part of his routine, and a visit to a former Catholic friend's Protestant service helped him realize what set the Catholic faith apart: the Real Presence in the Eucharist. That conviction sparked a ten-year journey back to the fullness of the faith, including a moment of profound healing from addiction during Eucharistic adoration. Playing Father Zachary in "A Great Day" In "A Great Day," Alex portrays a priest wrestling with grief and alcoholism who is called to anoint a dying man — the very man responsible for the death of his family. Inspired in part by a homily from Father Mike Schmitz recounting a story tied to St. Faustina, the film explores confession, the anointing of the sick, and the Eucharist as channels of God's mercy. Preparing for the Role Through Real Loss Alex shares how walking his aunt through her final days in a Philadelphia hospital — including her reception of confession, anointing of the sick, and Communion — became unexpected preparation for the role, deepening his understanding of a priest's ministry at the bedside. A Marian Miracle on Set One pivotal scene wasn't coming together, even after hours of on-set prayer. It wasn't until the production team added music derived from the star pattern on Our Lady of Guadalupe's tilma that the scene finally came alive — a detail Alex says still moves him every time he watches it. "Only God's Grace Can Bloom Thorns Into Roses" That closing line from the film sums up its message. Since release, "A Great Day" has been viewed more than a million times worldwide (including subtitled versions) and has prompted numerous priests to reach out to Alex about what it meant to them and their vocation. What's Next: The Silent Song Alex is currently filming The Silent Song with Mount Carmel Studios, portraying Father Luis Cancer, one of Florida's first Catholic martyrs, killed near Tampa Bay in 1549. The project was inspired by his bishop after a private screening of "A Great Day."

Send us Fan MailSomebody texted us a question we never expected to hear during Tour de France season: “What's up with this cheating women and their bras?” That launches a surprisingly real conversation about cycling aerodynamics, the Tour de France Femmes, and allegations that padded sports bras might reduce aerodynamic drag through what researchers call chest fairing. We break down the science in plain language, talk about what the UCI rules actually ban, and ask the uncomfortable follow-ups: how much time could this save in a time trial, what counts as equipment optimization versus cheating, and how would anyone even enforce it fairly?Before we get there, we take a hard left into pure Midwest joy: Adam's weekend at a Frankenmuth, Michigan frontline transit conference that included a full-on bus rodeo. Think obstacle courses, radar guns, wheelchair securement tests, and one “Diminishing Clearance” run that sent barrels flying. It's funny, but it also connects to something serious: training for precision driving reduces accidents, especially in the low-speed moves that cause the most damage.We also keep building the community side of the show with voice fan mail, our Listener Spotlight game (answer revealed), and a quick tour of the new cyclingmenofleisure.com features like the “Where We Roll” downloads map.

In this week's message of our Summer at Bethlehem series, Pastor Chris Bell from 3Circle Church in Fairhope, Alabama explores the critical concept of spiritual hydration through the lens of John 7:37–38. Physical dehydration leads to fatigue, vulnerability, and sickness—but soul dehydration carries far more dangerous, eternal consequences.   Set against the historical backdrop of the Feast of the Tabernacles (Festival of Booths), Pastor Chris reveals the profound significance of Jesus interrupting the most sacred day of the Jewish festival. While the priests poured out water to commemorate God's provision in the wilderness, Jesus stood up and declared that He Himself is the fulfillment of that promise—the source of eternal, living water.

Send us Fan MailThe final day of the Tour de France is supposed to be champagne, photos, and a calm roll into Paris. Then the route gets shortened because of wildfire security concerns, the temperature climbs, and Tadej Pogacar decides he is not interested in coasting. We felt the Champs-Élysées snap back into “real race” mode, and it delivered one of those finales where tactics, pride, and timing matter just as much as legs.We walk through how the move formed, why the entire peloton ended up working like a single machine to close it down, and how Mathieu van der Poel turned the last kilometer into a masterclass by hitting the gas at exactly the right moment. We also zoom out to the results that shape the Tour's legacy: Pogacar locks up his fifth Tour de France title at only 27, raising the historical question that won't go away now whether he can become the first officially recognized six time winner.Then we talk about the podium story that deserves its own spotlight. Isaac del Toro makes history as the first Mexican rider to finish on the Tour de France podium, adding a stage win and the white jersey at 22 while still serving as a loyal teammate. We also get into what made the 2026 Tour feel different overall, including fewer huge crashes than many years and the way racing kept splitting into multiple groups day after day.To round it out, we share a quick history hit on why the Champs-Élysées matters, how the Tour's finish moved there in 1975, and a nod to Greg LeMond's unforgettable 1989 finale.

Send us Fan MailThe Tour de France doesn't hand out “hardest day ever” labels lightly, but Stage 20 made the case with brutal climbs, huge elevation, and a finale that punished every lapse in focus. We're Michael and Adam, and we break down how a record-setting mountain day actually unfolded: why the peloton kept splitting into pieces, how the cold up high changes the feel of the racing, and why the last miles can be more dangerous than the first hundred.Richard Carapaz takes the stage for EF Education, but the win comes with real late-stage drama. We talk through Sepp Kuss's heartbreaking sequence of two crashes, including a tunnel-to-daylight transition and a costly descent mistake that flipped the outcome in seconds. From there, we zoom out to the GC picture: the yellow jersey looks close to settled, yet the tactics still matter, especially when Tadej Pogacar rides more defensively and spends energy helping Del Toro up the mountain in a rare, team-first moment that fans will argue about for a long time.That argument becomes our central question: should a rider ever wait after a rival crashes? We dig into cycling's unwritten rules, when the peloton has historically shown restraint, and why a queen stage finish can change the ethics and the expectations. Then we preview Stage 21, shortened due to wildfires and redeployed police resources, and ask what that means for the Paris finale on the Champs-Élysées: more aggressive racing, or mostly ceremony with a fast finish.If you're following the Tour de France stage-by-stage, subscribe for the final recap, share this with a friend who loves cycling debates, and leave a review.

Send us Fan MailAlpe d'Huez doesn't forgive anyone, and that's exactly why this day hit so hard. We're back with our Tour de France daily recap, breaking down a mountain stage that looks short on paper but feels enormous once the climbing begins. The breakaway forms, the chase groups fracture, and with about 10 miles left the yellow jersey sits minutes back. Then Tadej Pogacar hits a gear that makes the gap feel imaginary, picking riders off one by one and turning a messy finale into a clean, terrifying display of climbing control.We talk through what made the move so decisive, from timing and pacing to how the road itself shapes the racing. Alpe d'Huez's 21 numbered switchbacks create natural reset points and launch pads, and we dig into why those hairpins matter when everyone is on the limit. We also highlight Adam Yates's bounce-back ride, how a teammate's pull can steady the effort on the steepest ramps, and what it looks like when the best climber in the race treats a legendary ascent like a rehearsal.There's history baked into every corner here, including Dutch Corner and the way fans transform the mountain into a tunnel of noise. That energy can be electric, but it can also get dangerous. We cover the late crash involving a support vehicle braking to avoid spectators, and why crowd control becomes part of the conversation every time the Tour de France returns to its most iconic climbs. With the overall win and key jerseys looking close to locked, we're also watching the real remaining drama: who takes second and third on the general classification podium.If you're following the Tour, love cycling strategy, or just want a fast, lively breakdown of the biggest moments, hit play.

Send us Fan MailA single late attack can win a Tour de France stage, but a wave of illness can threaten an entire campaign. After an Alpine Stage 18 packed with climbing and chaos, we break down how Richard Carapaz nailed the timing on the final climb, cracked the day wide open, and rode away to a statement win. We also talk through why the GC group looked unusually conservative, and what it means when the top contenders choose patience over panic with only a few days left.Then the conversation shifts to the real drama brewing inside UAE Team Emirates. We unpack the stomach and flu-like issues affecting key riders, including Brandon McNulty's difficult day and eventual abandon, plus Tim Wellens fighting just to stay inside the time limit. That becomes the perfect launching point to explain Tour de France team tactics in plain language: why domestiques matter, how leaders get protected, and what a “strong rider on paper” loses when the support network starts disappearing.We wrap by looking ahead to Stage 19 and the legendary Alpe d'Huez: a shorter, more explosive day where attacks can fly and pacing mistakes get punished in every hairpin.

Send us Fan MailStage 17 was supposed to be the sprinters' last clean shot before the Tour de France hits the High Alps, and instead it turned into one of those days where the race refuses to behave. We talk through Jasper Philipsen's long-awaited win, how a top-tier leadout from Mathieu van der Poel sets it up, and why the green jersey points race suddenly feels tight enough to change tactics at every intermediate sprint. If you love sprint strategy, positioning, and that frantic final-kilometer math, you'll feel right at home here. Then the stage gets weird in the best way: breakaways everywhere, a peloton that keeps fragmenting, and moments where it briefly looks like the general classification could get dragged into the mess. We dig into the key storyline of Adam Yates struggling with illness and what that could mean for UAE Team Emirates when the climbing turns serious. And we relive the late ambition from Jasper Stuyven, caught only a few kilometers from the finish, which is basically the breakaway experience in one scene: hope for hours, heartbreak in seconds. We also slow down and make the breakaway make sense, from drafting and wind shelter to the way teams “keep the break on a leash,” plus why strong riders are not always welcome in the escape. To put it all in context, we share a few famous Tour de France breakaway examples, then pivot to a Stage 18 preview with big climbing, an uphill finish, and a blunt prediction about what needs to happen for the GC gap to stay interesting.

We pick apart Stage 16's individual time trial where Remco Evenepoel rips the course at blistering speed, grabs the stage win, and claws back 28 seconds on Tadej Pogacar. It's a big moment for Remco's confidence and a clear reminder that against the clock, he's one of the most dangerous riders in the world.But the yellow jersey story stays complicated. Pogacar limits the damage and carries a commanding GC lead of 4 minutes and 32 seconds into the next day, which forces a real question: is the Tour still open, or does it take chaos to crack that margin? We talk through what that gap means tactically, how two straight wins can shift a team's mindset, and why momentum matters even when the standings barely move.Then the episode takes a darker turn with a reported road rage incident involving Brandon McNulty on the way to the start, plus the emotional gut punch of Florian Lipowitz crashing near the finish and abandoning the race. We keep it grounded in what's known while also speaking plainly about cyclist safety and how moments like these can rattle a squad.We wrap by nerding out on time trial gear and marginal gains and then look ahead to Stage 17: mostly flat, likely controlled by sprinter teams, but still full of breakaway intrigue.

Send us Fan MailThey say “rest day,” but the Tour de France never really rests. We're back with a mid-race reset from the 2026 Tour de France, recapping where things stand after 15 stages and why Stage 16's individual time trial could still shake the leaderboard. Between huge mountains and unpredictable weather, the race has already delivered the kind of chaos that makes fans either fall in love with cycling or start yelling at the TV.We dig into the biggest storylines: Pogacar's wins and the growing talk of cycling immortality, Evenepoel's breakthrough road stage and his best shot to gain time against the clock, and Pidcock's high-risk breakaway style that brings points, penalties, and controversy. We also talk crashes and the weird moments that can flip a Grand Tour in seconds, plus the reality that even proven winners can hit total exhaustion in the high mountains.Then we go where cycling always leads sooner or later: anti-doping. We unpack what it means when riders get woken up at 2 a.m. or 5 a.m. for testing, how the athlete biological passport fits into modern enforcement, and why storing samples for 10 years is both reassuring and unsettling. Along the way we debate what “fair” looks like when sleep, recovery, and performance are all tied together, and we ask whether today's systems match what the sport needs in 2026.If you're following the Tour de France, love time trials, or just want smarter cycling analysis without the fluff, hit play.

Send us Fan MailOne crash can erase months of planning, and Stage 15 of the Tour de France proves it. We walk through a mountain day that feels unreal on speed alone, then gets even more intense with a major shake-up in the overall standings. Remco Evenepoel lands a huge stage victory on a brutal summit finish, and suddenly the race feels less predictable than it did 24 hours earlier.We also wrestle with the hardest part of pro cycling to watch: Jonas Vingegaard goes down, suffers a fractured clavicle, and has to abandon. From there we unpack the tactical questions that stick in your brain as a fan. Why was his team driving the pace for kilometers? What was the plan supposed to be, and how does a single mistake on a corner change what “second place” even means going forward?Then we pivot to two controversies that spark real debate among cycling fans. First: overnight anti-doping controls, including wake-ups at 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. We support clean racing, but we ask whether the timing is fair before the hardest stages in the sport. Second: Tom Pidcock's penalty for illegal assistance, what the UCI rule actually says, and how a 20-second time hit and other sanctions can ripple through a rider's goals.We close by looking ahead to the rest day and the stage 16 individual time trial, then shift gears to RAGBRAI updates where heat, crowded roads, and emergency vehicles make one thing crystal clear: communication saves people.

Send us Fan MailRain turns a mountain stage into a pressure test, and Stage 14 of the Tour de France makes that painfully clear. We jump from a few real-life road problems of our own (including a theme song blunder we have to own) straight into a day of relentless climbing, aggressive racing, and descents that look terrifying even from the couch. We break down the Stage 14 route and why the raw numbers matter: 153.3 km, roughly 3,800 meters of elevation, and four categorized climbs that never let riders settle. Then we get into the story everyone's talking about, Tadej Pogacar's latest statement ride in yellow. We explain how UAE Team Emirates keeps control, why the attack timing is so devastating on steep gradients, and what it signals for the general classification. We also hit the key supporting results, Del Toro right there again, plus 19-year-old Paul Seixas lighting it up and taking the white jersey. The most intense segment is the weather. We talk wet tarmac, team radio warnings, and the split-second decision-making behind high-speed hairpins when traction is limited and mistakes multiply. After that, we look ahead to Stage 15 with a summit finish and discuss who still has a real window to take time back, even if the overall win is starting to feel out of reach. We wrap with a community check-in on RAGBRAI 53 as Iowa heats up, including hydration and safety tips and our plan to try getting updates from the road. If you enjoyed the breakdown, subscribe, share this with a riding buddy, and leave a quick review.

Send us Fan MailThe longest day of the Tour de France just lit a fuse. We're back with a fast, listener-friendly Stage 13 breakdown after a 205.8-kilometer grind along the Swiss border that turns into pure breakaway drama at the line. Mario Schmidt takes the win out of a massive move up the road, fights through cramps, and still has the calm to time a two-man sprint perfectly, right down to the final surge and the little front-wheel lift that says, “I survived.” Then the race pivots to the bigger story: Tom Pidcock blows up the general classification picture. We walk through how a single day rockets him from 10th to 4th overall and suddenly puts the podium fight on a knife edge heading into the mountains. We also update where things sit for the yellow jersey battle, what the time gaps really mean, and which jerseys matter as the Tour gets sharper and less forgiving. To keep it fun, we sprinkle in quick local finish-line flavor and some of the Tour's best weird history: disqualifications, forged bike parts, riders gaming last place for cash, and even the legendary roadside beer stop. We close with a Stage 14 look-ahead plus a community note on an upcoming cycling meetup and how to handle brutal heat on long rides.

Send us Fan MailA flat Tour de France stage can feel calm right up until it suddenly isn't, and Stage 12 is a perfect example. I'm recapping the day solo while Michael's off the grid on family vacation, so you get all the facts, a few guaranteed mispronunciations, and a clear breakdown of what actually mattered when the race hit full speed. The headline is Tim Merlier's hat trick: his third win of the Tour, sealed in a chaotic bunch sprint shaped by crashes, nerves, and the kind of positioning battle that decides everything in the final kilometers.But the sprint is only half the story. We walk through the late-race attempts to blow things apart, including waves of attacks that briefly split the race and forced teams to react. Then we get into the green jersey drama: the intermediate sprint, the jury review, and a points competition that's now genuinely tight. With the top four separated by just 50 points, every intermediate and every finish from here can flip the order, especially as the route gets harder and sprint opportunities shrink.We also zoom out for the details that make the Tour so fun to follow: the stage's connection to an F1 circuit, a town linked to the invention of photography, and a practical explainer on the musette, the iconic feed bag riders grab at speed in the feed zone. I wrap with a quick GC check, a note on how stable the standings stay on a sprint day, and a look ahead to Stage 13 as terrain and tactics shift toward breakaways and climbing.If you're learning the Tour or you just want a sharp Stage 12 recap, subscribe, share this with a cycling friend, and leave a review so more fans can find the show.Support the showAdam and Michael's friendship has grown through years of shared miles, challenges, and laughter on the bike.

Send us Fan MailStage 11 of the Tour de France felt less like a “flat day” and more like a high-speed science experiment that got loose. We start in Vichy and finish in Nevers, then watch the whole race tip into history as the peloton clocks the fastest road stage the Tour has ever seen. With a strong tailwind and a relentless pace, the stage averages a staggering 31.6 mph, and suddenly every small detail matters: positioning, leadouts, timing, and which teams are willing to burn matches to control the finale. The story we can't stop talking about is the winner: a rider who's dead last the day before after a crash and a hand injury, then shows up the next morning and pulls off a shock Tour de France stage win. We break down how the breakaway animated the day, why it still got reeled in with about six kilometers left, and how the finish turned into pure “chaos in motion.” We also unpack the Jasper Philipsen ruling that flips from relegation to reinstatement, and what that says about sprint interference, safety, and how messy the last 200 meters can get. From there, we zoom out to the classifications and the numbers that actually shape the race: yellow jersey control, Mads Pedersen's green jersey momentum via intermediate sprints, and the polka dot and white jersey gaps that are technically doable but brutally hard without a bad day from the leaders. We also talk GC time gaps, team points, and the reality that once you're five to six minutes down, you're usually betting on chaos, not form.

Send us Fan MailOne bad corner can change a Grand Tour, and today's Tour de France proved it. We're Michael and Adam from Cycling Men of Leisure, checking in with a daily leisure breakaway recap, and we start with the biggest lesson from the stage: when riders are descending at 50 to 60 miles per hour, the margin for error is basically nonexistent. We talk through the crashes, what likely causes them on technical descents, and why it's a win for the whole race that nobody appears to be forced out.Then we get into the meat of the stage analysis. With 166.6 km (103.5 miles), about 4,450 meters (14,600 feet) of climbing, and seven categorized climbs, this is one of the toughest mountain days of the first half of the Tour. We break down how the terrain shapes breakaway chances and why Tadej Pogacar's near-summit attacks are so devastating late in the day. He takes the stage and stretches his overall lead to 3 minutes and 36 seconds over Jonas Vingegaard, tightening his grip on the general classification and the King of the Mountains fight.We also zoom out for some Tour de France history on Bastille Day, including France's shockingly long drought since 1985 despite leading all nations with 36 overall Tour wins. Before we sign off, we run the jerseys and standings: Pogacar in yellow and polka dots, Mads Pedersen in green, and a notable change in the white jersey.

Send us Fan MailTwo minutes and 42 seconds can feel like a wall, right up until the Tour de France reminds you it's paper thin. We take the Tour de France 2026 rest day to reset the race: where the general classification stands, how the first nine stages actually played out, and why the yellow jersey fight between Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard still has plenty of room to turn. We walk through the opening stretch from the Barcelona start, including the early time trial impact, the first real mountain separation, and how brutal heat has already shaped tactics, recovery, and even stage design. Then we dig into the practical question every fan is asking: what does it really take to find 2:42 in the mountains, and how quickly can that gap disappear without any “catastrophe”? Along the way, we check in on the other Tour de France classifications, including the green jersey points race, the polka dot climbing competition, and the white jersey battle that's tighter than it looks on paper. We also preview Stage 10 on Bastille Day, when French riders traditionally go hunting for the breakaway and the whole peloton races with a little extra emotion.

Send us Fan MailStage 9 hits like a blast furnace: temperatures in the mid to upper 90s, the road shimmering, and organizers shaving about 30 kilometers off the route just to keep the day manageable. We're tracking the Tour de France as it unfolds, and this one becomes a real-world lesson in pro cycling heat management, hydration strategy, and how teams try to limit losses when the weather turns the race into an endurance test. Even with the distance reduced, the suffering is obvious and the decisions get sharper. From Malmore to Usal, the storyline tightens around a breakaway that almost makes the dream stick. We talk through how the peloton measures the gap, what it means when the chase finally commits, and why timing matters more than ever when everyone is overheating. Then Mathieu van der Poel powers through for his third career Tour de France stage win, with Tobias Johansson and Tom Pidcock close behind. We also confirm the key jersey standings after the stage, including the yellow jersey, green jersey, polka dot jersey, and white jersey, and what “no big GC change” signals for the next phase of the race. We also take a quick detour into cycling history, because today's cooling vests and careful fueling sound even wilder when you remember riders once smoked mid-race and treated wine or beer as standard “fuel” when water was rationed. It's funny, it's absurd, and it's a reminder that the sport's culture and safety have evolved fast.

Send us Fan MailA flat-looking Tour de France stage can still feel like survival, especially when the thermometer sits around 95°F and the roads funnel every sprinter's team into the same narrow goal. We break down Stage 8 from Parigo to Bergerac: a breakaway kept on a short leash, no crosswind chaos, and a fast, technical run-in where the big names stay upright and the peloton finally detonates into a full-speed sprint. Tim Miller makes it two straight stage wins, while the general classification contenders play it safe and finish together to protect their time.Along the way, we answer a question every new cycling fan asks sooner or later: if a rider grabs the team car after a mechanical, is that cheating? We explain what's typically allowed when there's a real issue being fixed, why commissaires can be subjective in the moment, and how “sticky bottles” blur the line between help and an illegal tow. If you've ever watched a Tour de France broadcast and wondered what you just saw, this part is for you.Then we shift into the history that makes the Tour feel bigger than sport. The Tour's origin as a newspaper war, the real reason the yellow jersey is yellow, the 1904 cheating scandal with alleged train rides, and how the word domestique goes from insult to the most important job in a leader's support system. We also share details on the publicity caravan, massive roadside crowds, and the kind of calorie burn that makes “20 plates of pasta” sound almost reasonable.

We also touch the bigger Tour threads that quietly keep building: jersey standings that hold steady, the value of repeated podium threats like Girmay, and why “most combative” can still matter even when the move never gets real daylight.Then we take a hard turn into a question fans ask all the time: how do Tour de France riders make money?

Send us Fan MailA mountain stage can feel like a slow burn until it suddenly becomes a wildfire, and Stage 6 in the Pyrenees is exactly that. We are Michael and Adam, and we come in hot on the first true summit showdown of this Tour de France, where the numbers alone sound unreal: 186.2 kilometers, 4,100 meters of climbing, and oppressive summer heat that forces every team to ration matches. If you've ever looked at your own ride stats and wondered how pros do it day after day, this recap puts the effort into perspective fast.From there, we get into the moment that turns the race: Tadej Pogacar attacking early on the Col du Tourmalet. We talk through how the move develops with Del Toro in the mix, why the timing is so shocking, and what it means when a top contender like Jonas Vingegaard can ride well and still lose time. This is Tour de France tactics at full speed: team control, pacing, and the ruthless math of the general classification when the elastic finally snaps.And then there's the part that made us both wince at the screen: the descent. The footage of the cars flying downhill only hints at what the riders are doing, and we unpack why “just going down” is one of the most technical skills in cycling, especially when speeds creep toward the 70 mph range. We also cover the day's toughest news, as a crash takes the previous stage winner out of the race on concussion protocol, a reminder that the Tour can change in a blink.We wrap with a clean jerseys update (yellow, green, KOM polka dot, and white), a quick look at the flatter Stage 7, plus listener moments from the roadside in the Pyrenees and a fun detour into which countries make up the peloton.

Send us Fan MailA sprint stage is supposed to be predictable until it isn't. Stage 5 of the Tour de France brings blazing heat, constant fight for position, and a gutsy solo breakaway that forces the peloton to make hard choices long before the finish. We break down the Len Lamazan to Po run with the numbers that matter, what 88-degree temperatures do to hydration and decision-making, and why “staying out of trouble” becomes the real goal for the yellow jersey contenders before the mountains arrive.The day's story starts with a rider going alone and daring the race to respond. We talk through what it means when a breakaway forms with nobody else willing to commit, how teams manage the gap, and why that kind of effort can define a stage even if it gets caught. Then everything changes with a crash inside the final six kilometers, fracturing the peloton and wrecking sprint trains right when lead-outs are trying to click into place. From that chaos, Olav Kuvy keeps his head and wins the sprint ahead of Max Cantor and Tim Milar.We also dig into listener questions that uncover the Tour's hidden rulebook: why riding backward on course is forbidden for riders and even mechanics, what's actually allowed when you need help, and how penalties work. Finally, we simplify the scoring behind the green jersey points classification, King of the Mountain points for the polka dot jersey, and why yellow and white are about cumulative time, not “points.” If you like Tour de France strategy, sprint drama, and the small rules that decide big moments, you'll feel right at home.

We talk through the full Stage 4 recap from Carcassonne to Foix, including the brutal numbers, the four categorized climbs, and the oppressive 104°F heat that forces teams to rethink pacing, hydration, and risk. When conditions get that extreme, “normal” tactics break down fast, and today's choices reshape the general classification in a big way. The headline is a massive breakaway that gets real freedom. We explain why GC teams sometimes refuse to chase, what that decision signals to the peloton, and how it effectively concedes the stage to the move up the road. From there, it's a masterclass in execution: Lidl-Trek place riders perfectly, launch at the right moment, and convert the chaos into a stage win for Mads Pedersen, with Quinn Simmons adding a big moment for American fans. We also run through the jersey shakeups, including the new yellow jersey, and what the updated classifications mean for the days ahead. Then we get into one of the harshest rules in pro cycling: the Tour de France time cut. We break down how it's calculated off the winner's time and what it looks like when a rider misses it and gets pulled from the race. To top it off, we share a piece of Tour de France history that sounds unreal by today's standards, when riders had to repair their own bikes with no outside help and could even be penalized for the smallest assistance.

Send us Fan MailA Tour de France stage can feel like a summer joyride on TV, until you hear the numbers and realize it was basically a moving furnace. Day three brings 195.9 km of racing, an average temperature around 90°F, and the first real mountain exam as the route crosses into the French Pyrenees. We break down what that heat means for pacing, hydration, and team control, and why a fast average speed on a day like this is its own kind of warning sign.The race finally gives the general classification contenders a clean place to measure each other: big climbing, an uphill finish, and no hiding when the accelerations start. We talk through the breakaway's impact, the fight for mountain points that sets up the polka dot jersey, and the moment UAE Team Emirates takes command before Tadej Pogacar launches the move that decides the stage. Jonas Vingegaard fights to respond, the gaps stay tight, and we discuss what “close on time” still reveals about form and momentum.Then the Tour gets surreal. Wildfire conditions and smoke near the finish change the atmosphere so much that the mountaintop feels like a ghost town compared to the usual wall of fans. We also swap a couple of cycling nerd facts, from old-school newspaper tricks on descents to modern tire logistics, including how many tires a Tour rider might actually go through and what teams pack to survive three weeks.If you're following the Tour de France, love cycling strategy, or just want the daily story without the fluff, hit play.

Send us Fan MailA mechanical problem, a 22-year-old rising star, and a team captain who chooses leadership over ego, that's the kind of Tour de France story that sticks. We pick up right after Stage 2 with a clear, fan-friendly breakdown of what “categorized climbs” actually mean, from Category 4 rollers to Category 1 grinders and the brutal HC ascents that feel beyond human. If you've ever listened to commentators toss out climb ratings and wondered why it matters, we connect the labels to real tactics: when the peloton squeezes, when a breakaway dies, and when the favorites finally show their cards.Then we dive into the Stage 2 recap, including Isaac Del Toro's statement win and why it's such a big moment for Mexican cycling. We talk through the chaos of chasing back after a mechanical issue, the timing of the final mountain loop, and the subtle teamwork that turns a “bad day” into the biggest win of a young rider's career. We also unpack the jersey situation and the Tour de France rules that prevent a rider from wearing two jerseys at once, which is why what you see on the road doesn't always match what you assume from the standings.To round it out, we get practical and a little obsessed: pro cycling nutrition. We lay out the real numbers behind endurance fueling, including the 5,000 to 8,000 calories per day range, carb-heavy strategies, and why riders aim for massive grams of carbohydrates per hour using gels, drink mixes, and rice-based foods. We also touch on the darker side of the race: crashes, concussion protocols, and how quickly a Tour can end, even in a rider's first year.

Send us Fan MailEight seconds doesn't sound like much until it's eight seconds at the Tour de France. We're launching Leisure Breakaway as a short, stage-by-stage companion to Tour de France 2026, starting with the opening days in Barcelona and a team time trial that already reshuffled expectations for the general classification.We break down the big-picture setup first: July 4 through July 26, 21 stages over 23 days, two rest days, 23 teams, and 184 riders racing roughly 3,333 kilometers. Then we get into what made this team time trial especially worth paying attention to: instead of one shared team time, every rider earns an individual time, which changes how early gaps hit the GC contenders. Jonas Vingegaard and Visma Lease a Bike strike first, with key names like Tadej Pogacar, Filippo Ganna, and Remco Evenepoel immediately in the mix and the clock already creating pressure.We also share how we'll keep these mini episodes clean and easy to follow, labeled by stage and city so you can listen in order. Beyond results, we're bringing the stuff fans always wonder about: how many calories riders eat per day, how the musette feed bag works, how mechanics and doctors support riders at speed, and all the small details that make the Tour a rolling logistics masterpiece. If you're watching along, we'll point you to viewing options like Peacock in the United States and other broadcasters worldwide.Subscribe, share this with a cycling friend, and leave a quick review so more listeners can find our daily Tour de France recaps.Support the showAdam and Michael's friendship has grown through years of shared miles, challenges, and laughter on the bike.

Revelation 7:1-8

Send us Fan MailA bucket hat shows up in our lives again, and this time it's not just an awkward dinner story. We read a real headline about a Florida bank robber who demanded cash in his bucket hat, then basically helped police catch him by continuing to wear the thing. It's ridiculous, it's funny, and it somehow fits perfectly with our ongoing theory that bucket hats cause people to go a little berserk.We also bring back a favorite guest, Miya, for a warm update on Confetti, the well-traveled Beanie Baby who keeps tagging along on rides, vacations, and big moments. That opens the door to Beanie Baby history, the 1990s collectible craze, and why most of the “value” talk misses the point when the real payoff is memory and tradition. On top of that, we share a practical travel tip for anyone booking flights with flexibility, plus a Listener Spotlight that lands in Powell, Tennessee, complete with a railroad stop origin story and novelty architecture.Then we shift gears into something we genuinely want every road user to know: cyclists helped drive the early push for better roads in the United States through the Good Roads Movement and the League of American Wheelmen, before cars dominated transportation. It's the kind of history that changes what you say the next time someone yells “get off the road.” We wrap with a look ahead: we're attempting daily Tour de France mini episodes with quick recaps, jersey basics, and beginner-friendly commentary as we follow the race day by day.Subscribe, share this with a riding buddy, and leave us a review that's actually about the show.

Send us Fan MailA guy rode past us during a bike event while listening to our podcast at the exact same moment. That's the kind of sentence we would have laughed at when we first hit record, and it's the perfect way to frame our 100th episode milestone. We start with classic Cycling Men of Leisure catch-up: work trips that turn into mini road adventures, the beauty of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and why moving too fast makes you miss the weird, wonderful “true America” you only find when you take the long way. Then we debut a brand-new Listener Spotlight jingle, share the fan mail that demanded it, and break down a Spotlight built around Omaha, Nebraska. From there, things get even better: Miya Sharp joins us as a surprise guest interviewer and asks the questions we didn't script, including why we started the podcast, how the original vision evolved beyond cycling, and the exact BRAG and RAGBRAI moments when strangers called us “the life of leisure” and the name finally stuck. We also get into our favorite episodes, the speakeasy tradition, the biggest travel disaster, and the one word we want the show to be known for: honest. We close by looking ahead with Tour de France energy and cycling headlines, including youth development investment (Zwift, Canyon, and Pedal Mafia) and a nod to progress in women's professional cycling.
