  • I hope Lisa returns

    It was nice to hear from someone who puts on a ton of miles but doesn’t necessarily care about performance.

    The first episode with Logan was good but I could hear a little bit of friction between hosts. Hopefully that gets ironed out with time.

    Maybe there will be room to bring back Lisa once in a while
