Presented by 6D HelmetsThe second annual O'Neal Big Bear Grand Prix drew over 900 racers and 6000 spectators to the small resort town of Big Bear Lake, California, a couple of weekends ago, and everyone on hand agreed that the event was not only bigger but better than the inaugural 2025 event! Of course, putting a race of this magnitude together isn't a simple weekend affair, and the Swapmoto Race Series crew worked hard to make things run as smoothly as they did. We sat down with CMXRS Race Director Aaron Cooke, the mastermind behind the BBGP, to learn some of the interesting ins and outs of the race that is quickly becoming one of the most popular in California.

"I tend to think taking the Lord's name in vain has less to do with a swear or curse moment, but a lot more with having a human agenda that is not good, unjust... and then using the Lord's name to justify it and make it good." In this episode of We Should Know Better, the guys pour a fresh glass of Michter's and traverse through the absurdity of modern culture. After raising a glass to Dolly Parton and mourning Big Bear's beloved bald eagle, they dissect a Homeland Security recruitment video using Isaiah 6:8 and dig into what "taking the Lord's name in vain" truly means beyond just swearing. The conversation heats up as they examine the bad-faith trolling of Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White entering the WNBA draft, the bizarre world of longevity biohacker Bryan Johnson, and whether optimizing every second of your health means forgetting how to actually live. To wrap things up, the crew compares their late-mid-40s skincare routines and tackles long-winded YouTube comments. 00:59 - Intro & In Memoriam for Dolly Parton 07:14 - Delivering Bad News & The Tragedy of Jackie the Bald Eagle 11:45 - When Job Candidates Discover the Podcast 19:15 - DHS Propaganda, Isaiah 6:8, & Weaponizing Scripture 30:43 - What Does Taking the Lord's Name in Vain Actually Mean? 46:42 - Enes Kanter Freedom, Royce White, & WNBA Controversy 01:16:23 - Bryan Johnson, Longevity Obsessions, & Missing the Point of Life 01:27:43 - Skincare Regimens & Red Light Therapy for Men in Their Late 40s 01:40:28 - Reading YouTube Comments & AI Thumbnail Disasters 01:51:52 - Peacock Discoveries & Wrap-Up SUBSCRIBE & SHARE us this week!Contact Us: brosbiblesbeer@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Leave Us A VoicemailYouTubeSimpleCastSpotifyApple PodcastsXInstaWe Should Know Better is: Zack Krater & Andy McCraw Find us wherever fine podcasts are distributed.

Travis Scott, CEO of Visit Big Bear, joins Adam Stoker for a conversation about running a rural destination when everything is on the line. Travis tells the story behind Jackie, Big Bear's world-famous bald eagle, and how Visit Big Bear turned a small nonprofit's unwatched nest cam into a global phenomenon while agreeing to take zero branding in return. He explains how he rebuilt trust at Visit Mendocino County by building a coalition instead of a plan, why Big Bear's real problem was never over-tourism but visitor distribution, and what moved him from destination marketing to destination management. With much of the Western U.S. on fire, Travis closes with the crisis playbook he's built across two rural DMOs — starting with the rule that gives this episode its name. Plus, Adam opens with the DMO that was missing from his hometown parade, and the float he'd build instead. Subscribe to our ⁠⁠⁠⁠newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠!

Episode 186 of the Tap Room Podcast with host Mike and guest Miguel Santoyo of The Bear Trap Beer (Big Bear Lake). Miguel shares the family-driven origin story of turning an abandoned steakhouse into a celebrated taproom, the role his wife, brother and father played, and the legacy of his late mother as the taproom's spirited hostess. Topics include craft-beer discoveries, sourcing rare cans (Monkish, Highland Park, Harlan), collaborations and can releases, taproom operations (line cleaning, hand-washed glassware), menu highlights like the Spice Mountain pizza and smash burgers, and the challenges of staffing and running a seasonal mountain business. Listeners can expect warm family anecdotes, practical lessons on launching a taproom, beer style talk (pilsners, hazies, West Coast), and why The Bear Trap has become a must-stop in Big Bear.

Janet Caperna is back in the Haute Seat with us, and this time we go even deeper into love, marriage, motherhood, money, reality TV and the friendships that made—and complicated—The Valley. Janet tells us how a four-Corona Tulum moment changed everything when she looked at longtime friend Jason and suddenly realized the guy she had been searching for was already in front of her. From their first real kiss to her immediate “I'm marrying this man” declaration, she opens up about why Jason became her person, how they divide money and responsibilities, and why separate bank accounts and separate bathrooms might be her secret to a happy marriage. We rewind to the years Janet spent quietly watching the Vanderpump world from the background while working as an executive assistant for major names, including Cameron Diaz and Catherine Power at Avaline. Then came the move to the Valley, a closer friendship with Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor, the original “baby bottle service” concept, Scandoval reigniting interest in the group, an unexpected pregnancy—and suddenly Janet was filming season one of The Valley. Nothing is off limits as Janet talks Kristen Doute, Nia, Jax, Brittany, Ariana Madix, Jesse, Lacy, Michelle and the moment she thought photos of Michelle and Dr. Dre were AI. She reveals why she believes Raquel could have redeemed herself by returning to Vanderpump Rules, why she refuses to campaign for cast members to be fired, and why she thinks reality TV only works when you stop hiding from the cameras and show the real, raw mess. She even takes us inside the Big Bear breakdown where, seven months pregnant and cooking for everyone, she threw tortilla chips at Jason, burst into tears and made the split-second decision to let the cameras follow. We also get into Ariana's Love Island success and fashion, Janet's plans to try for baby number two, her wild 7/7/27 family-date dream, her future cookbook and homeware ambitions, and the life she actually wants when the cameras are gone. And then things take a very unexpected turn when Jesse's claimed history with Anna Nicole Smith comes up—something that shocks us, because we were there and knew Anna's life intimately. It's love, lawsuits, baby plans, reality-TV boundaries, Scandoval clues, Dr. Dre shockers and one very Undressed conversation.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 4 (8.17) Mark Thompson is officially off the market after a low-key wedding to Courtney, just the two of them after years of “road-testing” the relationship and a pre-wedding trip to England and her ancestral Croatia. He also shared close calls with phones and toilets, while Timmy bought a new phone and discovered the UAG Dryout Pouch that actually pulls moisture out better than the old bag of rice. Newlywed life is already treating Mark well (his favorite perk so far is that the new Mrs. Thompson left for four days to visit her sister), Arsenio Hall’s top solo-home privilege is the open-door poop, and in Big Bear, Jackie’s widower Shadow may already be moving on with a young eagle named KD1 as a memorial for Jackie is still being planned. The hour wrapped with a lucky Burbank listener winning Chargers vs. 49ers tickets plus a $100 Graze Craze gift card, plus the wild coincidence that Mark’s wedding landed on the exact one-year anniversary of Foosh’s near-death car crash.

Hour 1 (8.14) Shadow found company four days after Jackie died. KD-1 is 4½, banded, and she's already rearranging Jackie's sticks. Conway can't quit Jackie! Jackie died on August 10 after nearly a month of intensive care at the Ojai Raptor Center, following her rescue near Big Bear Lake. Shadow's last nest visit had been July 23 — then on August 10, hours after her death was announced, a young, banded eagle called KD-1 turned up at the nest. She hatched in the Prado Basin in 2022, about 70 miles from Big Bear, and biologists say she's just about old enough to mate. We get into it, plus the LAX train that finally has a date.

Joe McConaughy was a college miler who had never raced anything longer than a mile when he Googled "run the Pacific Crest Trail" at 22 years old. 53 days and 2,600 miles later, he held the speed record.   Joe De Sena sits down with Joe, a trail runner, coach, race director, and new dad, to break down what actually happens to your body and mind past day 40 of a multi-day speed record, why he spent the final 15 days running on a peg leg after his ankle lost function, and the hallucination at the top of Mount Whitney where an imaginary man named Andre offered to take his watch and finish the record for him.   They cover the 50-to-90-percent grind zone where every race is won or lost, how an invisible competitor on a GPS tracker squeezed a stronger finish out of McConaughy than any training block ever could, and why he calls ultra running a silly, selfish sport.   Things You Will Learn: Why the middle of every race, from a 5K to a 2,600-mile record attempt, is where performance is decided. Why a D1 college miler with zero ultra experience set a 2,600-mile speed record at 22 and what broke along the way. The differences among short, medium, and long multi-day efforts, and how sleep strategy changes for each. Tools & Frameworks Covered: The 50–90% Grind Zone: Between halfway and 90% of any race distance, you will believe it is impossible or that it will never end. Expect it. Plan for it. Push through it. Internal vs. External Activation" Ninety percent of an ultra is you against yourself. The remaining 10% can unlock performance you cannot access alone. Build external pressure into your race plan. Miles Over Smiles / Smiles Over Miles: The grind is real. The suffering is real.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 1 (8.10) It’s a heavy Monday on “The Conway Show” as we mourn the loss of Jackie the bald eagle. Timmy is struggling to process another animal death and shares a grim nature story from his Alaska cruise: Guides told the group that the biggest threat to baby bears is often their own father, who will kill and eat the cubs right in front of the mother. Nature is brutal. While every LA reporter has rushed up to Big Bear to cover Jackie’s passing, a 7.4-magnitude earthquake in Colombia has already killed more than 111 people — and the death toll is still climbing — yet it’s getting far less attention. In Jackie’s honor, the show plays “Nightshift” by The Commodores. Timmy wonders if she’ll get a standing-room-only memorial at SoFi Stadium and half-jokingly predicts 45,000 to 65,000 people might show up from around the world. Will the Steve Miller Band play “Fly Like an Eagle”? Will Dolly Parton perform “Eagle When She Flies”? And how much will the Friends of Big Bear Valley or the Ojai Raptor Center raise in her memory? Six months ago, on Jackie’s 14th birthday, Timmy wrote a song for her — and now we play that tribute. Fly free, Jackie. Fly free. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour with Mark Thompson Hour 3 (7.27) Mark kicks off the hour with a flood of listener TalkBacks — strong opinions flying about England and Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. One caller tips everyone off to RunPee, the free app that tells you the perfect moment to duck out for a bathroom break so you don’t miss key scenes (it even rates the dull stretches and warns you about post-credit scenes).
