    Occasionally funny, frequently boring
    This show used to be better, but they’ve been spending more and more time talking about trucks, motorcycles, and hunting, and less and less time talking about bikes. Some of that is fine, but it’s gotten to about 50% of the time (or more) these last couple months. It doesn’t help that they’ve sprinkled in a couple political comments lately. I listen to podcasts like this to escape the political mess so I don’t appreciate them slipping in politics here and there, even in side remarks. You don’t know what you’re talking about so just don’t. Although less show time is devoted to it, a fair bit of their conversation about bikes is indeed interesting and/or entertaining. However, they like to make definitive remarks on things that really aren’t definitive, and not infrequently they say things that are just plain wrong. I’m a biker of 25+ yrs, former racer, bike mechanic of 7yrs, and currently an engineer and very avid cyclist, so I know a thing or two about bikes. It’s fine that they have different views than me on topics. It’s even welcome! But, they act like anyone who disagrees with them is an idiot. I genuinely wouldn’t mind if this mindset and tone wasn’t so pervasive on the show and didn’t span so many subjective/debatable cycling topics, but unfortunately for me, it is and it does! As an example, they have strong opinions about chain waxing. I disagree with them. Totally fine, right? But they go on and on about how awful waxing is on a recurring basis. I used to be them and thought waxing was silly, but then I educated myself on the topic, tried it, and now I’m a convert, using it on all my bikes. I’m not saying it’s for everyone, but they act like you’re a moron for waxing. Recently, an expert on waxing from Australia challenged them and their assertions, and they said they would review his research and findings, then address them in a later episode. That was months ago and still no response, so I’m guessing they either ignored him or, worse yet, read his research, couldn’t refute it, and then decided to continue complaining about waxing anyway. So, the show is fine if you’re desperate for bike content and don’t mind being told repeatedly that you’re stupid for disagreeing with them on clearly subjective topics, but if you’re not desperate then just skip it.

    Entertaining Super Useful Information
    This is by far the most honest and useful source of mountain bike (and now e-mountain bike) information available. Unlike most mainstream cycling media, Andrea, Matt

    What a vocabulary
    Although your ability to sling, the F bomb is quite impressive. I didn’t come here for that. Bye.

    Solid MTB Podcast with a lot of comic relief
    Andrea, Kenny and Matt keep it real and give the real scoop on the bike industry. They have great advice on parts, bikes, set ups, you name it. Matt is also a knucklehead in a GREAT way and keeps me entertained. Great podcast.

    Best friends you never knew you had.
    Everyone has that best friend that you can be totally honest with. You may insult each other constantly and laugh at each other’s expense but deep down your friends for life. Well if you’d like 3 more friends like this then give this show a listen. It’s a great time.

    Optional Review
    Best friends and bike shop rats from Memphis who moved west but not the same place who know a lot of details about bikes but lets face it we r all here to learn which wild animal will eat the chickens next! Oh and…. F off Kenny!

    JRA - all grown up and on its own.
    Like vital with less content, or PB without that catchy intro music, DBD without the patagucci sponsorship, or roadrash without debilitating infection. Everybody has their favorite character and then there are the other two. 5 stars all around.

    Maple syrup and chicken nuggets
    The best discussions about elk hunting, Honda Civic motors, mini trucks, moto and raising chickens. Oh yeah and they talk about bikes too sometimes!

    The gang is back

    Let’s talk about armadillos
    It’s the Thanksgiving dinner approach to a Mountain Bike podcast. Overly complicated conversations on suspension kinematics, F bombs, discussions on current and prior wild and agriculturally animals, then questions from Garbage Pail named listeners and likely a monologue in xxx rim/wheelset. This plate ain’t divided up neatly. If that’s your game, go listen to Lance or Velonews.

    A must if you’re into mountain bikes and miscellaneous cacophony. Two thumbs up!

    Unbiased
