If you have a buddy (or happen to be that buddy) who constantly goes on about their Peloton, you’re not alone. The upside is that you’re in good company; the downside? Most of us would prefer to hear about something else.
While we genuinely celebrate our Peloton-enthusiast friends who hit their milestones—whether it’s achieving a personal best, beating Marjorie from New Jersey, or hitting that 100th ride—we sometimes wish they had another audience for their excitement. Enter Jimmy Kimmel’s “Teloton,” a fictional hotline designed for those who need to brag about their cycling achievements to someone who is paid to listen.
In the sketch “Teloton – Since You Won’t Stop Talking About Your Bike,” Kimmel and his team present a scenario where one rider, named “Jake,” can share all his Peloton accomplishments, from his impressive quad muscles to the intriguing fact that he sweats from his elbows. Even the Teloton operator struggles to manage the overflow of enthusiasm.
The Teloton operator begins by congratulating “Jake” on his achievements, allowing those around him to stop feigning interest. Initially, she sounds somewhat sincere about his 400-calorie burn in 20 minutes, but that sincerity quickly fades as she realizes that no one else is really interested in his workout tales. She starts to respond with things like, “Yeah, you mentioned that,” while casually munching at her desk, clearly uninterested.
When Jake starts reciting his favorite instructors “in no particular order,” the operator finally snaps. “No. Enough of this,” she exclaims, ripping off her headset and confronting Jake. “Nobody cares about your ridiculous bike!” Anyone who has sat through endless Peloton discussions will find this moment all too relatable.
Kimmel highlighted that Peloton sales surged by 172% since the pandemic began, making it a popular way for some to bring their fitness routines home. While that’s fantastic for mental and physical well-being, sharing every minute detail of your latest ride (or diet) doesn’t have the same effect on those around you.
It’s a shame this sketch isn’t a real service, as many of us would gladly outsource our loved ones’ Peloton raves to it.
