"If you see me without my shirt off, get a police officer ASAP."
WARNING: Listening to "Off The Rails with Eric and Aisha" while running may result in uncontrollable laughter, side stitches, funny looks from strangers, and the occasional trip hazard due to snort-laughing mid-stride. Proceed with caution—and maybe stretch your abs beforehand. Use caution when wearing earbuds in public places—people will wonder if you’re okay. You are. You’re just having a really good time.
This week's topics discussed include:
— Eric and Aisha’s July4th weekend updates
— Joey Chestnut vs. Usain Bolt in a 100m dash and 1 hot dog
– P. Diddy was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges, but convicted of transportation to engage in prostitution. Justin Bieber is also struggling.

– Thoughts on the U.S. Championships preview we saw in the 1500m and why Eric loves the storyline of Shelby Houlihan as a villain
– Aisha watched the meet on a tiny screen on a plane
– Why Athing Mu losing was a good thing and why we all love to see a comeback

– Props to Conner Mantz for running the 10K
– Voicemails from listeners: What is the best kit you've ever raced in? Are there cliques in professional running and are you racing better against people you dislike?
