Episode 125 - Life Time Grand Prix Selections and Listener non-Questions What up party people. Thanks to everyone who sent us your favorite races that you’d like to see the Bonk Bros at in 2025. Despite Dizzle bashing y’all for not submitting questions, it’s fun to hear about all these new races no matter how big or small they are, especially those local races with hefty prize purses. Dizzle loved that. We pretty much just cover all the LTGP selections before hopping into some listener...

What up party people. I’m going to keep this one snappy because we’ve got some hefty meat to get to this week. We’re talking Life Time Grand Prix dropouts and predictions, Tyler gives us the breakdown from his virgin experience at Iceman this past weekend, and get into a little discussion on what DJ’s race season could look like for next year.

Episode 123 - Kerry Werner is BACK in the Hot Seat What up party people. DJ was down for the count this week healing up after his doctors yanked those pesky tonsils of his from his throat so we figured what better time to get our good friend, Kerry Werner, back on. Tune in as we talk about upcoming Iceman, the current state of domestic racing, and a few listener questions to boot.  If you have any questions or feedback for the show you can drop us a note at [email protected] or...

Episode 122 - Hot Takes, Big Sugar, and the Life Time Grand Prix Finale   What up party people. Alright I know what you’re thinking, this entire episode is going to be about Dizzle bragging about him smashing Dylan at Big Sugar this past weekend but I promise we don’t let it be the Dizzle Show the whole time. That said, I think we would all agree it was probably for the best that Dizzle took down his arch frenemy so he could get back to his usual self, for better or worse. Let’s see, what...

Episode 121 - Life Time Grand Prix Updates, Cyclocross Rage, YouTube Comments, and DJ the Dancing Machine What up party people. Alright, I don’t know exactly what was said in the YouTube comments (other than the ones we read on the air this week, some of which are hilarious) but Drew decided enough is enough and quit the podcast for good… nah I’m just kidding, he had some other more important life stuff to cater to this week so only graced us with his presence for a few minutes. The rest of...

Episode 120 - YouTube Beef, Gravel World Champs, and Tire Talk w/ Tyler Pearce (aka VC Adventures / The Vegan Cyclist) What up party people. I’m going to be completely honest here, I really had no idea who The Vegan Cyclist was until he started some good old fashioned beef with Dizzle in his Dustbowl 100 video and even after that I still didn’t know his real name was Tyler Pearce until the night before recording this episode. But hey, I give the guy some serious props for agreeing to come on...

Episode 114 - Gravel Beef and Marginal Gains at Gravel Worlds w/ Chase Wark What up party people. We’ve got a surprise guest for y’all on the show this week. Literally, no one knew he was coming on other than Drew until he just randomly signed into the studio 10min into the show, but I think it’s safe to say it was a more than welcomed surprise. Chase tells us some tales from the front of the race this past weekend at Gravel Worlds, including a complete bike setup breakdown and his takes...

What up party people. We’ve got the full crew back in the studio again and Tyler even got himself a new mic so you can hopefully hear him better even when Dizzle is talking over everyone.

EPISODE 112 - Leadville Recap and is the Drop Bar Mountain Bike Finally Gaining Traction? What up party people. Well we almost had to record this Leadville recap episode without the one Bonk Bro who was actually at the race because homeboy Dylan Johnson was still asleep at the time of our schedule studio session… luckily he answered his phone and I wish y’all could’ve heard how frantic he was when he discovered he was almost going to miss the Leadville show. Anyway, that’s basically what we...

EPISODE 111 - USA’s Kristen Faulkner for Gold, Leadville Week, and Scott’s Back! What up my party people.

It’s Leadville week so we spend some time talking about DJ’s race setup and predictions, as well as making some speculations as to what we might see out there this year. We also riff on the miraculous victory for USA’s Kristen Faulkner in the...

What is up my party people. We give Dizzle the floor to start the episode this week talking about how he finally put his money where his mouth is and won himself a bike race. Then, after Tyler eventually got his act together after some technical difficulties, we give our takes on some of the action from the Olympics, including Dizzle’s live take on Pidders winning move. And before we end the show with a boatload of rapid fire questions DJ breaks down some of the details of his new Leadville...

EPISODE 109 - Dylan’s Quitting YouTube. Dizzle’s Retiring from Crits. What Next, Discontinuing the Conti Race King?! What up party people. First off, just wanted to give a big shout to all the folks who came up to me at Nepomuk Narly this past weekend to mention your loyalty to the show, interactions like that are truly what drives us (well at least me anyway) to keep this thing running week after week. Speaking of Nepomuk Narly, if you weren’t at the biggest little gravel race in Pisek, ND...

EPISODE 106 - Tour Talk, Andorra Epic, and Listener Qs What up party people. Adam was out of the country doing some ”epic” race over in a random country no one from the US has heard of which means he apparently couldn’t be bothered to do the intro this week.

EPISODE 105 - Another DJ Top 10, Scott’s Underwhelming TOAD Results, and Would You Rather What up party people.

We’ve got another banger for you this week after Dizzle got caught running his mouth again and stirred up a little bit of gravel beef after falling victim to gravel breakaway specialist and marginal gains newcomer, Chase Wark. Not originally selected for the Life Time Grand Prix, Chase found his way into the GP field after a handful of dropouts and is well on his way to being the 17th place runner up in...

EPISODE 103 - Dizzle Math, Tulsa Tough, Mid-season Breaks, and Bachelor Party Pee Tests What up party people.

That said, if you have any questions or feedback for the show you can drop us a note at...
