Episode 123 - Kerry Werner is BACK in the Hot Seat What up party people.

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...

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...

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.
