Episode 161 - Big Name Tour Dropouts and Dizzle Cracked the Top 10(6) in Iceland!

What up party people. I apologize for the sweat beading off my face, I just got back from a steamy rucking session over at the local ski hill and it's absolutely scorchin' out there. Luckily, I had all day fuel on board from our friends at KetoneAid so now I'm straight buzzin' and ready to get back to some good ol' computer work and house stuff.

Speaking of friends at KetoneAid, I want to give a heartfelt thank you to all of y'all who continue to support the show with your hard earned dollars by picking up some of your favorite products from any number of our amazing show sponsors. We love hearing from our partners that y'all are straight up killing it with the use of those discount codes because it truly does help us keep this thing rolling. None of us have actually taken any pieces from the pie personally yet, however, having some play money allows us to do cool things like upgrade equipment when we need it, pay for professional producing so your boy doesn't have to go back to receiving hate mail every week for the shoddy edit jobs I was doing back in the old days, we also get to use those funds to come to events and meet with some of y'all in person (like Leadville in a few weeks, Chequamegon the month after, I'm sure a few of us will be down at Big Sugar again to witness Dylan having NOT fun at the gravel rave, and you better believe we're bringing the heat to the legendary Iceman in November). Also, if you stick around to the end of the show you'll hear a teaser for a new spin off podcast that will be launching here soon, so just another example of those funds going to cool things.

That said, if you're new here I'll just quickly rattle off a few of our continued supporters so you can hop on the discount code train along with our boy Dizzle who's always shopping those sales.

We've got the lovely crew over at Silca, our longest running show sponsor who's always mixing it up with fun discount codes to share with y'all with the latest code being “Bonkbrosjuly2025”.

For that silky smooth shave experience check out our homies over at Bolk Skin + Shave (code: "BROS15")
