    So encouraging to see you guys reconcile. Very sweet and humble to see EJ apologize and sweet to see Jeff forgive and not punish EJ for his mistake. Great video

    This is a master class in how to be a man and apologize for what you messed up, while simultaneously being a class act and just forgiving and letting bygones be bygones.

    EJ that little speech was the most impressive thing I’ve ever seen out of you. INCLUDING those hellish watts you crank out. Good on you. What an adult move. Unbelievable.

    So stoked you guys have squashed the beef! Love both of you and it was tough watching with the obvious rift between you. Glad EJ "grew up" a bit because he's really talented and fun to watch.

    Been watching Jeff for about a decade and EJ since he showed up on the channel and grew his own brand. It was really sad for me to see you guys part ways because I enjoy both of your content in different ways. Having gotten to know both of you a bit while racing locally and on the road, it bothered me more than it should have that there was beef. Today’s video genuinely made my smile. Apologizing is hard, forgiveness is harder. Kudos guys, and happy new year!

    Was not expecting to smile throughout the entire video from watching EJ speech and the two of you reconciling over a Zwift ride. As mentioned in the video that this wasn’t the first time the both of you hashed things out, but it was so nice to see the Jeff/EJ team again. Brings back the good time.

    I did this race (much lower category) and it was super tough. After that first climb, I tried to recover and couldn't hold the lead pack. I managed to pick off a couple of guys who blew from the first pack for 11th place (out of 30) and was thrilled about that! This race hurt! Great content and I am so glad you two are reunited! It takes a big man to admit they were wrong and do it where hundreds of thousands will see. Mad respect EJ!

Respect to you for taking the time to reflect on the experience you had with Jeff and coming to the conclusion that you dropped the ball on the relationship friendship with Jeff because of your insecurity. It takes strong men to admit when they are wrong. Kudos to both of you know continue to make good training videos. peace ✌️
