What up party people. Shout to one of our listeners for sending in the clip from Family Guy that inspired the party people tag line - it took over a year for someone to finally bridge the connection. I don’t even like Family Guy but that was one of the one-liners I remember and it’s always stuck. So who knows, now that I’m outed, might have to come up with some other way of addressing y’all at the stop or maybe we’ll just stick with it. Anyways, with another slow week in the bike racing world...

What up party people. Happy fricken New Year. How in the world we’re entering our third year of podcast I have no idea but until this things blows up in or face or we finally just get too sick of each other, we’re going to keep this thing rolling. We decided it was about time we add just a liiiitle bit of structure to the madness and each came with a burning topic we wanted to throw on the table for discussion. None of us shared these with each other before so everything is still off the...

What up party people. Hope y’all are fitting all the holiday parties in you can this time of year because before you know it, it’ll be 2024 and we’ll be back to the races. Literally. We’ve got a shorter episode for y’all this week as I had an appointment to get to so I had to wrap things up early but if you’re anything like Scott then you’d much rather spend your precious time with family than listen to us buffoons ramble on about mindless crap for more than an hour at a time.    Hit us up...

What up party people. First off just want to say thanks to all you creatives out there who reached out to offer help with our branding project. It’s super cool to have such a wide pool of listeners that a basic call out in the intro to a show can lead to dozens of y’all hitting us up wanting to help us out. Also, big shout to all of our Patrons and our newest VIP + member, Conner. Y’all continue to stand by our side with not just your listener support but also throwing us some of your hard...

What up party people. Dizzle had the ride of his life at the US cyclocross nationals this weekend, okay maybe not quite but a good ride nonetheless, and we get him in the hot seat to break the whole thing down. We also banter on about plenty of tire questions and then get into an interesting proposition from one of the fans who suggested we start a Grand Prix, or as I like to think of it as, the Bonk Bros Grande Prix. Let’s hear what y’all think, is this something we should consider tossing...

What up party people, or whatever the hell Dylan wants to call all of y’all since he’s apparently too kosher drinking his  kombucha while grazing his garden to actually know what a good time is. Right off the bat we settle the debate from last week about talent once and for all but don’t worry, I set a time limit on the discussion this week so if your eyes glazed over when Drew mentioned talent wasn’t a thing last week, just skip forward 10 or 12 min and you’ll be on your merry way with the...

What up party people. After a 74 episode hot streak, I had to miss the recording this week because I had some family matters to tend to but the guys assured me they had things under control. To be honest, I actually haven’t listened to the episode yet at the time of recording this intro so the rest of the show is as much of a mystery to me as it is you. So I don’t have much more to add here for now. If you have any questions for the show drop us a note at [email protected] or hit up...

What up party people. What started out as an abbreviated episode with just Dylan, Tyler, and I while everyone else was catering to holiday plans turned into a monster of an episode with loads of derailing and too much tire talk (if such a thing exists). So sit back while you’re smoking your turkey or whatever else you’ve got lit up and enjoy this holiday special. If you have any questions or feedback for the show hit us up at [email protected] or head over to the Bonk Bros Instagram...

What up party people. I’m just going to be honest here, this episode is completely random as none of us followed any bike racing or cycling news from the last week so y’all get to hear us just ramble on about all sorts of randomness. We’re still working on some 2024 plans so if you have any ideas for events you want us to be at or cover for next season, drop us a line with some suggestions and if you have any questions or feedback for the show hit us up at [email protected] or head...

What is up party people. First off just want to give a big shout to all the fans of the podcast I ran into this past weekend at Iceman. If Iceman isn’t the true spirit of bike racing then man, I don’t know what is. It’s always cool to meet and hear from y’all in person so I appreciate all the shouts and feedback. I still can’t believe people still tune in each week to listen to us numbskulls banter about random topics but hey, we’re just giving the people what they want I guess. We talk...

What is up party people. We recorded this episode on Halloween and figured what better way to get in the spirit than come in our finest costume attire. Of course, Dylan was too cool to join in the fun but the rest of us, well you’re just going to have to tune in to find out who and what we came as. Since DJ missed the episode last week, we give him some air time to talk about his race from Big Sugar and tell us all about his wicked moves on the gravel rave dance floor, before we get into...

What is up my party people. I wasn’t able to make it down for Big Sugar this past weekend but the rest of the crew was all together and sounded like quite the time. From the Bonk Bros Q&A session at the expo, to crazy war stories from within the bunch, and the gravel rave after party, last weekend sounded off the hook. Big shout to Tyler for conducted another full day of live race updates on the Bonk Bros insta, if you want to see more of Tyler’s live commentary next year be sure to send...

What up party people. When we started this thing I never thought we’d see the episode count reach 69 but here we are. And what better timing the the week we’ve all been waiting months for. The big showdown between our very own Andrew Dizzle Dillman and Dylan DJ Johnson is finally here. Who will conquer and come out on top, or likely around 17th, only time will tell. Thankfully, we’ll have our chief correspondent on the grounds to cover the action live for y’all so be sure to tune into the...

What up party people. Well, the Bonk Bros have failed you all again and what was supposed to be an entire show dedicated to answering y’alls questions got completely hijacked by an extended discussion on the UCI Gravel World Championships from this past weekend. We brought Ignition’s David Van Orsdel on the show who competed in the elite race for team USA alongside the likes of Keegen Swenson, and friends of the pod Alexey Vermeulen and Payson McElveen. So yet again we apologize for pushing ...

What is up party people. Wow it seems like quite a while since we’ve had the full crew on the show without any guests, okay well don’t get too excited we still haven’t been able to track Scott down he’s off someone in Euroland smashing ’spressos and housing gazpacho but we did manage to have some fun conversations nonetheless. Despite some big races happening last weekend it seemed like most of the show revolved around the upcoming Gravel World Champs and I can’t even begin to tell you what...

What is up party people. Another guest episode for y’all this week and we decided it was time to mix in some estrogen-fueled perspective for the first time in a while. We’ve got Britain’s Danni Shrosbree (@danni_shrosbree) and closet data nerd Paige Onweller (@paigepowered) in the studio with us this week to break down some initial thoughts on this weekend’s LifeTime Grand Prix stop at The RAD and we learn in the process Dylan may be outgunned by Paige when it comes to equipment and strategy...

What is up party people. First off I want to give a special shout to all the Bonk Bros fans out there who came up to us at the races this past weekend to let us know how much y’all enjoy the show. After all, if it we’re for all of y’all we wouldn’t keep recording these things. Alright we’ve got another banger episode for y’all this week as we brought Payson McElveen (@paysonmcelveen) on the show this week to talk all things Life Time Grand Prix, Chequamegon, crazy international adventures,...

What is up party people. Boy do we have a show for y’all today. With Tyler and Scott both unable to record this week we figured what better time to bring a on a guest. So we put up a poll on the Instawaves asking y’all who you wanted to hear on the show this week and taking the top spot was none other than friend of the pod Kerry Werner. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to nail him down as he had some bike build wizardry to conduct before the big Northwoods showdown Saturday but we made up for...

What is up party people. First off, I want to send a huge shout to all the fans of the show that I ran into this past weekend. It’s always refreshing to hear that people not only tune into the show each week but that it actually provides something of benefit. As I mentioned to the boys on the show this week, I did a little deep dive into our listenership stats last week and found out that Bonk Bros racks up enough downloads each week to place us in the top 1% of all podcasts and we have all...

What is up my party people. The show this week has a bunch of random topics including gravels newest party event the SBT HLLCLMB, team talk, questions about aero socks and tire recos for Iceman, and a whole lot that I can’t remember right now. Oh and Dizzle is making his gravel comeback this weekend at BWR Utah so if you’re out there make sure to give him some hell for his 4 year hiatus from long races on dirt road. If you have any feedback or questions for the show drop us a note at...

What up party people. If you’re not living under a rock, which I assume you aren’t since you’re listening to this show, then you probably have already heard about Keegan Swenson’s record smashing ride from Leadville last weekend. So we figured why not bring you even more gossip about the topic. We base the entire show around listener questions but per usual, there’s heaps of banter mixed in. Oh and don’t forget to stick around to the very end where we talk about helping Dizzle find his...

What up party people. It’s Leadville week and you know what that means! Nah just playing, we promise the whole show isn’t about Leadville. Tune in to find out.

What up party people. Quick intro today because I don’t have my mic and I know how much y’all hate poor audio quality. I want to give a shout to all of our Patreon supporters, we’re talking about how we can start putting those funds to good use to help amplify the show (right now we’re just letting the account build up so we have something to work with) so we really do appreciate each dollar you throw our way. This week we’re talking RAGBRAI, Leadville, too much about tires, and a whole bunch...

What up party people. The shows coming out a day or two later than usual this week because the crew is in a million places right now and it was hard to nail down a recording time. Fear not, we sacrificed the first part of our Friday evening just to make sure y’all get what you deserve. We talk Leadville bike setups, my favorite race of the year Nepomuk Narly, and hit a grip of listener questions.    If you have any feedback or questions for the show hit us up on IG or drop us a note at...
