2025 Commercial

Our very first theme show, "Bikes," debuted back in 2007. It's finally time to revisit the concept with a fresh spin!

Tim narrowly escapes disaster flying off a 5-foot dirt mound. Veronica shreds her knees but scores a treat after an ER trip. Bill’s twin brother lands a sweet ride, while AJ, an 18-year-old daredevil, takes on a 10-speed. Shelbi and her boyfriend survive a tandem bike crash, and Asher wipes out doing BMX tricks. Scott tests his luck with a stunt on an old-school Schwinn, and Myron’s friend’s DIY toe straps end in a ditch mishap. Plus, Veronica rocks high heels on a bike, and Drew shatters his fibula in the Patreon-exclusive bonus: Stuff That Didn't Fit on the Show.

John and I hope you have an absolutely amazing season, no matter how you celebrate the holidays!
