In this episode of the Thoughts on the Couch Podcast, psychotherapists Justine Carino, LMHC and Anne-Marie Conlan, LMHC delve into the complexities of perfectionism and particularly how it manifests in high-achieving women. They explore the common core beliefs and thinking traps that perfectionists face, the role of cognitive behavioral therapy in managing these issues, and practical strategies for overcoming perfectionistic tendencies. The conversation emphasizes the importance of self-acceptance and the need to challenge unrealistic standards to reduce anxiety and stress.Download my free guide 5 Ways to Let Go of Perfectionism and Still Get Things Done at: carinocounseling.com/perfectionismLearn more about Anne-Marie's work at: https://www.carinocounseling.com/anne-marie-conlan
This week, we're stoked (and honestly a little confused) to bring on Jarrod Harris—a former comic-turned-bike-park-owner, who went from taking shots off strippers and 6am radio gigs to building one of the gnarliest mountain bike parks in Georgia, complete with mysterious “Trail Armor” that either ruins mountain biking or is the second coming of dirt. We dive deep into why Georgia's not all peaches and flat land. Guess what? There's real riding, way too much rain, and just enough southern spite to keep things interesting. Jarrod spills about the secret origin of his bike park (hint: divorce revenge and annoying horse people), dishes on the struggle of building a legit park, and reveals how a little bit of marine carpet and a lot of stubbornness can outlast even the worst dirt. Of course, we can't make it through an episode without juvenile jokes. Rob fumbles talking for the 137th time, Chief admits his bike shorts are basically a portable diaper, and our “trail maintenance” strategy still involves as much bathroom humor as actual trail work. There's also a debate about which is worse: Atlanta traffic or carpet burn on your elbows (spoiler: both suck). If you're new around here, don't worry. We're just as dumb as we sound, and if you're looking for hot takes on wheel sizes, beer spilled on the soundboard, or a passionate case for riding bikes instead of arguing about Trump on Facebook, you've found your people. So buckle in, grab a cold one (or a clean chamois), and get ready for an episode that's fast, loose, and probably just a little dumber than you bargained for.

I’m taking a quick pause in our current series to share some exciting news: my brand-new book for struggling Christian couples, Before the Couch, launches October 1st on Amazon, Kindle, and Audible. Over the next three episodes, you’ll actually hear three of the most practical and encouraging chapters from the book—right here on the show. My prayer is that this becomes a trusted resource for churches and couples everywhere. Now, you might be asking, “Why another marriage book?” That’s fair. The truth is, most of us have been asking the wrong question. In Before the Couch, I invite couples to wrestle with a better question—one that opens doors where nothing else has worked. This week, you’ll hear the chapter titled “Stop It!” It’s available now on both the podcast and YouTube.
Welcome to the Gnar Couch Podshow. This week, we have a special guest: up-and-coming Rampage wild card Finley Kirschenmann. We'll dig into how a kid from Sandy, Utah gets gnarly enough for Rampage, plus we get the inside scoop on desert lines, digging skills, and whether dual-crown tailwhips are actually possible. Other topics rolling around in this episode: BMX as the secret sauce for bike control, the never-ending baggy pants discussion, and the existential question of whether style or spin-rate should win Rampag. True to form, Rob manages to jack up the intro twice, which is just another may-may in the rearview, and by the time we start talking about bike park Uber rides or hugging etiquette, you'll wonder why any of us are allowed unsupervised on microphones. So if you want high-level training advice or nutrition wisdom, keep scrolling. But if you like rowdy bike stories, dumb jokes, and hearing us mess things up repeatedly, you've found your new favorite terrible podcast.

Welcome to the only MTB podcast to provide you with suspect mountain bike expertise, best enjoyed while sunning your rear, paddling your shins, or taping down your “business” for that sweet aerodynamic gain. Oh, and we have pro riders like Jerrell Webster on. On this week's episode, we chewed through three core themes at a speed only barely hampered by our collective ADHD: 1) Debating the joys of escaping from traditional team sports into the beautiful, ego-destroying mayhem of mountain biking, 2) Exposing the seedy underbelly of the MTB world's obsession with tight kits, mysterious Facebook boomers, and our own online store that only seems to accept PayPal, and 3) Taking an overdue dose of reality about diversity on bikes, featuring Jerrell Webster's quest to make Rampage less pale. We sprinkle in some shinner injuries, unsolicited scooter opinions, and just enough political Facebook comment dumpster fires to keep your brain itching all week. We recommend you "smash" play harder than Sponch's mom if you want a “podshow” that delivers the gnar, the existential dread, and all the self-deprecating humor your tender little ears can handle. Just don't expect any useful advice—unless you consider life hacks like “always ready to shred” and “never trust a man who pedals” as gospel.

Welcome to the Gnar Couch Podshow, where mountain biking meets questionable life choices and creative chaos, and somehow, women still agree to come on the show. If you're after a polished podcast, you're in the wrong place. This is a podshow, which basically means we're like a podcast, but with more bad decisions and a few conversations you probably shouldn't play at work (or around your mom). Picture the world's sketchiest couch, then imagine us inviting up-and-coming freeride star Janelle Soukup to sit on it. That's our version of hospitality. (And that's probably why she called in.) On this episode, we're serving up a three-course meal of send: first, we celebrate the rise of women's freeride, featuring Janelle's stacked resume and her invite to the 2025 Rampage lineup. Next, we try to get deep (for about three seconds) on the mental gymnastics it takes to launch yourself off a sheer cliff, sprinkling in advice that could either inspire your dreams or or kill you. Finally, we wrap things up with our signature back-end chaos: a mix of questionable humor and reminders that we are all very bad at adulting.

This might just be the best mountain bike podshow you've ever hate-listened to. That's right—podshow, because podcasts are boring and suck, and furthermore, calling it a podcast would be an insult to the fine tradition of nonsense, awkward silences, and self-inflicted pain we serve up with all the grace of Boston Rob “making it clap” at dance parties (yes, that actually happened). On this episode, we're uniting mountain bikers the best way we know how: by traumatizing Boston Rob with potential electrocution every time he laughs or drops an F-bomb (so basically, every ten seconds), peppering our guest Sergi “Ride Caviar” Massot with questions he doesn't want to answer, and dissecting the fine art of refusing to do something scary the first time, unless it's stealing a Monster fridge while blacked out after a BMX event (best Sergi story yet). There's enough childish conversation about absolute carnage on trails, dog tributes, and existential dread over medical bills to make you feel at home, disrespected, and weirdly motivated, all at once. So if you thought you were signing up for thoughtful, nuanced mountain bike commentary, you're almost as dumb as the hosts. Welcome to the Gnar Couch Podshow—the only podshow where the runtime is matched only by the length of our collective hospital bills. Hit play. Enjoy the accompanying mental degradation.

It's episode 178 of the Gnar Couch Podshow! We're already three minutes in and the F-bomb counter is higher than your buddy who “microdosed” but forgot the “micro.” Utah probably hates us (again), but that's fine—Utah also hates fun, women's thighs, and beer over 4%. But, this isn't your dad's mountain bike podcast. Actually, your dad probably left because you bought an E-bike, then he joined a Facebook group called Lycra Enthusiasts Who Love Buttholes. Guess what? We're all you've got now. This episode: memes, caffeine jitters, brown-eye contact, and the unholy truth that “analog” is being horribly mispronounced. Mountain bike culture is dead, and we're here performing a necrophilia-themed jazzercise class on its stiff little corpse. Joining us is the meme-lord himself, Ryden Dirty—43 years old, knees like stale breadsticks, and a professional at making Facebook warriors cry into their Garmin watches. He's an ex-BMXer, chef, and current semi-professional button-pusher. If you get offended by him, congratulations—you're softer than a Casey's gas station pizza. We've also got: A Zoom room full of Russian bots who keep trying to sell us boner pills. Facebook dads with “opinions” so bad they make your uncle's QAnon posts look reasonable. A merch store with more hoodies than a middle school vape circle. Throw in some ADHD, chef rage, and a bunch of dudes old enough to schedule colonoscopies around bike rides, and you've got yourself a certified Gnar Couch dumpster fire. So grab a chamois, double up if your prostate needs it, and let's kick this turd downhill.

This might be the best mountain bike podshow you'll ever subject your bleeding ears to, but let's not get too full of ourselves. If you're looking for pro tips, life-changing inspiration, or anything more educational than a Snickers wrapper, you should probably tune out now. Welcome to the Gnar Couch Podshow, where “podshow” means we get away with even more bad decisions, lowbrow humor, and colossally poor life choices than your average podcast. Sure, we occasionally discuss bikes, but only if we get sidetracked from rating sushi in grocery stores, the science of adjusting your audio knobs, and discussing Cheef's mysterious and apparently imaginary friend, Chinese Adam. On this special episode, we drag Rob Brown—the evil genius behind Loam Pass and the definitely-not-mysterious Bike Sushi meme page—into our den of degenerates. Yes, he appears to bleach his hair for maximum radness, and yes, his Loam Pass business is either the future of bike park access or a plot to take your beer money and run to Thailand (Just kidding, the MTB Pass lady already did that). He takes us deep into the beautiful hellscape of organizing a pass for 70+ (and growing) North American bike parks, fighting the Big Bike industrial complex, and trying to break into Colorado bike parks. But rest assured, this is still the Gnar Couch Podshow: we'll try (and fail) to talk about bikes, share sponsored hate for overpriced water, reminisce about having bikes stolen and miraculously returned and running over bike thieves, and find new ways to offend everyone from CrossFit dads to the trail police. Is this a good episode? We don't know. We've literally never made one. So crank those headphones until your eardrums file a restraining order and settle in for a show that's about bikes, about everything else, and, most importantly, about nothing at all.

Welcome to another absolutely questionably legal episode of the Gnarcouch Podshow. This is episode 175—which honestly, we're just as surprised it happened as you are. If you've ever tried to tune your suspension with ChatGPT, eaten three-day-old elk meat out of a fanny pack, or asked a stranger at Whistler to jump over your Tesla Cybertruck in a torrential downpour, congratulations: you've stumbled into the right corner of the internet. Tonight, we've got Christian “probably peppered my jumps with more style than you have in your entire sad existence” Peper in the studio, and the whole studio smells like unwashed knee pads, half-done parenting, and unresolved childhood trauma. JP's here, reminding everyone he was once called an unmentionable name by some dude using a random curse generator on the dark web. Boston Rob's on voice recognition patrol—dude's voice is so loud it folds the space-time continuum. We're talking e-bikes, jump progression, why your city's bike park is softer than a TikTok cosplayer's handshake, and, as always, questionable bathroom etiquette. Jimmy's busy making foot fetish videos for the Patreon, and the phrase “family-friendly” has already violated three Geneva Conventions. So, tighten your helmet, lower your standards, and get ready: this is episode 175, and it's gonna be more chaotic than a grown-ass man arguing with a trail steward about Class 1 e-bike erosion while half the room tries to decide if Freebird is appropriate shitting music.

Roll up and throw your tailgate pad on this dumpster fire as we take you through the trainwreck history of the Gnar Couch Podshow, a masterclass in turning angry biker angst and stray couches into the only show less appropriate than your browser history. We dig into three surprisingly important themes: 1) how a decaying couch at a dirt jump park somehow sparked years of irreverent mountain bike content, 2) the relentless drive to gather all the misfit “dirtbags who are actually nice people” into a worldwide cult—even if it meant spamming Facebook groups until we got banned, and 3) the podshow's evolution as a real-time therapy session for former skateboarders, current weirdos, and angry outcasts who worship at the altar of “shred till bed.” We're just trying to find people as broken as us...and the good news is, it totally worked. Is this audaciously low-brow origin story going to make you smarter? Almost definitely not. But it will make you feel better about whatever you're doing with your life. So settle in and bask in the glory of a podshow created out of spite, sustained by idiocy, and beloved by dozens of mountain bikers, at least half of whom are probably mentally unstable.

People will tell you this is just a mountain bike podcast, but we've never really been into lying to our listeners. This is a podshow, which is like a podcast, except it involves at least 27% more sarcasm, casual chaos, and potentially actionable advice. Is it the best thing you could fill your earholes with? Probably not. But you're already here, so either you lost a bet, your Spotify algorithm hates you, or you just crave the kind of content that lands us somewhere between regional fame and restraining orders. On this episode, we've wrangled Christian Peper into the studio, proving that with enough peer pressure, even smart people make bad decisions. Ready to feed your appetite for degeneracy, philosophical rants, and unfiltered mountain bike exploits, the Gnar Couch Podshow hits you with three pillars of questionable value: (1) the not-so-glamorous reality of mountain bike “fame”; (2) the serious business of Utah bike terrain—why we have more “blue square” mediocrity than Whistler-style gnar, and how local apathy, city governments, and suburban dads in jorts are possibly to blame; and (3) the unholy union of influencer culture and actual riding skill, where self-promotion, kid-adoption, and jumping over $4 million cars all intersect. So, whether you're here to learn why our new nicknames are shamefully NSFW, to figure out if Bentonville is overrated, or just want to join us in roasting each other's suspension settings, congratulations: you've found your people. Welcome to the podshow no one asked for—where wild animal instincts, actual family values, and questionable bike park activism all go to get roasted.

This could easily be the most over-caffeinated, under-medicated mountain bike podshow you'll ever subject your earholes to. Not a podcast—a “podshow”—because adding “show” makes everything about 17% more questionable. Welcome to Gnar Couch, where the only thing more inflated than our egos is our caffeine intake, and the only thing more shredded than our bikes are our self-images. Tonight, we brought in DJ Brandt—your favorite rider's favorite wildcard—just to see if we could make the art of the mountain bike interview as awkwardly sweaty and weird as possible. This week's podshow spiral dives helmet-first into three core themes: the existential crisis of being a professional freerider in an industry run by desk jockeys who think a “manual” is something you create in Word to guide marketing efforts, the painful evolution of mountain bike culture from “gnarly misfit circus” to “influencer hellscape,” and why the only thing more unstable than the bike industry is JP's and the Jerk Hand's digestive systems after six glizzies chased with six cups of gas station coffee. Sprinkle in debates about corporate buyouts, a discussion about how Pinkbike really was cool at one time, and our relentless need to grill and mother everyone within a 40-foot radius, and you've got yourself an audio experience that makes you wonder where the adult supervision went. So buckle up—preferably in your daily driver Corvette or whatever heap you wrench on to avoid facing your feelings. Whether you're here for the tales of bike park glory, the communal hate for TikTok “riders,” or just to hear DJ Brandt contemplate welding versus wildcarding, this podshow is the least productive thing you'll do with your day—and probably the best.

Welcome to the Gnar Couch Podshow, which is like a podcast but with less dignity, more self-loathing, and at least a 50% higher chance of your spouse asking, “What the hell are you listening to?” Picture a virtual dirt jump party where a bunch of underachieving mountain bikers, powerlifting BMX dads, and wannabe nutritional influencers swap stories about getting jacked after 40, sacrificing wildlife on Colorado roads, and trying to hit jumps that are way out of their league—all while waxing poetic about mini horses, chia seed poops, and why enthusiasm for the sport is inversely proportional to one's actual riding skill. Centered around three main themes—obtaining mountain bike excellence, fitness for aging riders, and the dark, sticky underbelly of “enthusiast” culture—this podshow delivers a potent cocktail of sarcasm and fitness advice. Whether you're here to hear tales of gym reluctance and the dignity-obliterating process of learning to powerlift over 40 years old, or you just want to increase your biking skills, rest assured: we're here along with fitness coach Jeff Robertson to help in our own special way. So pull up your favorite moldy couch cushion, pretend you're at Swamp Fest with a cold shower aftertaste, and let Jeff, Cheef, Rob, Jimmy Sniper, and JP prove once and for all that growing old is mandatory, but growing up is strictly optional.

This could easily be the most dangerously mediocre mountain bike podshow you've ever subjected yourself to—if only because there isn't another one like it. But let's not call it a “podcast.” It's the Gnar Couch Podshow, a half-shaved circus animal of a program that fuses mountain biking banter, pre-school-level humor, and the sort of camaraderie you only find in places where head injuries outnumber IQ points. We're back again, same as ever (possibly worse), welcoming Ryan McElmon, whose only real flaw is being good at every sport—while the rest of us are just good at lying about our skills. Settle in as Cheef, Jimmy Sniper, Boston Rob, JP/Uncle Touchy, and Ryan ping-pong between three of our favorite recurring disasters: relentless self-roasting for our questionable riding prowess, dissecting why Utah's mountain bike scene is built on equal parts skill and sheer obliviousness, and an ungodly amount of time spent discussing “firsts”—band shirts, head trauma, and the sort of sponsor deals that make you miss your dignity. It's all sandwiched between tales of kids who look up to us (bad choice), pro-level athletes who out-drink and out-ski us, and the utter confusion of surviving a town where Dairy Keen is apparently a cultural touchstone. So grab a non-alcoholic beer (thanks, Ryan), dust off your New Kids on the Block tee, and prepare for a tour through the rarely-admired underbelly of mountain bike podcasting—where the only thing deeper than our self-deprecation is our collective concussion history. Welcome to the Gnar Couch Podshow: the stoke is questionable, the jokes are suspect, but at least you'll feel better about your own life decisions.

Holy shit. Welcome to episode 171 of the Gnar Couch Podshow, the very special “Revel Bikes hostage rescue operation,” a.k.a. the episode where every former industry bro, current stoke vampire, and accidental HR case decided to restart one of the most revered MTB bike brands and discuss it with us for some reason. Has your bike ever cost more than your car but handled like it was actually made out of expired condoms? Us too. That's why tonight we've packed your digital clown car with more mountain bike icons than a private equity firm's bankruptcy spreadsheet. (We say this in the most loving way, as you'll find out.) Cheef here, fresh off a Dairy Keen soft serve bender and contemplating my place in this late-stage capitalist hellscape we call mountain biking. Boston Rob's still dripping in dad rock and peanut butter cup stains, JP's been busy mansplaining Johnny Cash's genre to oblivion, and Jimmy's just out here rage-connecting all of us with big podcast stepdad energy. Chris Canfield is in studio, ready to pivot—literally, with his damn suspension kinematics and figuratively with his HR-compliant mustache. And, not to be outdone, we've dragged Adam “I just bought my own company back because fuck you, that's why” Miller, Mike “Too Steezy For Your Face” Giese, Deano the XC Nerd, whose med device stories will ensure you never trust French boobs or European healthcare again, and another round of your unhinged Oral Connections calls. Strap on a bib (or a thong, if that's your flavor), crack a Mezcal, and get ready for almost two hours of raw, unfiltered shit-talking about private equity stupidity, bike spec foreplay, soft serve-sized trauma, and what it actually feels like when your carbon dream bike files for Chapter 11 before being resurrected like the bicycle Jesus it actually is. We're more country than Austin, less country than Nashville, prouder than a Fox News viewer at a Willie Nelson concert, and about as reliable as a monkey with a PowerPoint deck. Listen, because we might actually answer a bike question, but mostly we'll just revel in Dad jokes, derailleur puns, and the existential dread of modern consumerism. Welcome, you sick bastards. Let's get seriously weird and weirdly serious together. Guest profiles: Revel Bikes Adam Miller Chris Canfield Mike Giese (steezygiese765) Check out our store for sick shirts.

You just stumbled onto the Gnar Couch Podshow—yes, “podshow,” because “podcast” is for people with functioning attention spans and fewer deeply repressed issues about outdoor furniture. We're the audio equivalent of finding a slightly wet couch at a trailhead: deeply unsettling, weirdly comfy, and probably hiding at least two species of insect (metaphorically). Our not-so-highly-trained panel dives straight into three pillars of modern mountain bike culture: (1) sending it big and eating it just as hard—broken bones, torn ACLs, and the never-ending pursuit of avoiding therapy bills by riding bikes off cliffs; (2) the sacred (and vaguely inappropriate) art of shuttling and cuddling, because real friendship is when you don't question how the couch got wet; and (3)the life of UCI racers Luke and Alex Mallen and the mainline reality check of working your ass off to chase down racing dreams while surviving on hand-me-down underwear and side-hustles aerating strangers' lawns. All delivered with enough self-loathing to fill a foam pit and enough edge to tear your shins up worse than cheap flat pedals. So while we're never going to be the podshow your mom wants to hear, we are the one you can't mention at work without getting a visit from HR. Grab the least-suspicious seat in the trailer, ignore the scent (just like we ignore the rules), and brace for the greatest self-sabotaging, semi-inspirational, off-the-rails mountain bike podshow to grace your undeserving ears. Welcome to Gnar Couch, where we race, we crash, and occasionally, we actually learn something—but only by accident.
Sweet Jesus riding a mini horse through a desert mesa of expired meat sticks, what a podshow we have for you this week. It's episode 169, which if you think about it, is just 100 positions away from being remotely impressive. Tonight, we're joined by the Queen of Dark Fest herself, Chelsea Kimball, a.k.a. Her Darkness. Boston Rob's explains how he falls asleep on the toilet, JP's dog is most likely the source of local cougar sightings, Jimmy's dad jokes prove to be the only funny part of the show again, and I (Cheef), diagnosed (by past cast members) narcissist, am mostly here to remind you how important I am. So kick back in your sweet recliner, dust the Dorito crumbs off your jorts, and get ready for 90 minutes of sometimes serious-sometimes stupid Rampage, Dark Fest, and freeride talk with Chelsea, life advice you should never take, pizza-eating tips, and the kind of banter that makes you regret learning English. Dark Fest, Rampage, hot laps, and hot garbage. We've got it all. If you want high-level, coherent mountain bike discourse, try whatever podcast Pinkbike produces. If you want to learn several ways to crash on back flips and how to properly urinate at social functions, you're in the right spot. Welcome to the Gnar Couch Podshow, where the only thing gayer than the six guys in our show trailer is how much we fucking love you for listening. Check out our store for sick shirts.

Whatsup everyone, in today's episode, Max and Jordan begin by breaking down the awful Celtics collapse from last night.

Strap in, degenerates, because—holy shit—episode 168 of the Gnar Couch Podshow descends on your brain like a Raptor cranked to 11, meth in the tank, and some dude named Lars judging your court case from the witness stand while Kid Rock shotguns a Busch Light in the background. Have you ever mixed an unwashed pair of five-panels with Swedish thrash metal and a keen yearning to eat trail dust in Virgin, Utah, all while contemplating whether your bones have enough density to survive the next catastrophic OTB? No? Well, welcome to our support group. This episode, we've got Amelia Capuano in the mix—slapping more send than your mom's boyfriend does Dew out of your hands, and just as calculated about it. JP still can't tell the difference between Voltron, Power Rangers, and probably his own reflection, while Cheef's somewhere in a parking lot mourning his inability to clear a jump that only eight-year-olds and groms with fresh HU Bars can manage. Boston Rob's over here leaning into his final-form Jewfluencer, generational trauma, and all, channeling his father-in-law while rocking those glasses down his nose like he's one matzo short of a bar mitzvah. Is this intro going anywhere? Nope. Are you? Not if you're stuck in traffic, three accidents deep, hovering over your brake pedal, wondering if tonight is the night you finally call in to our show and forget the damn phone number again. We've got tales of dirt jumpers crumpling under childhood trauma, chocolate bars worth more than your last pay stub, and Jimmy Sniper explaining how to achieve pegatration at your local skatepark. So unclench, quit saying “keen” unless you want us to actually start using “chuffed” unironically, and let's get this parasocial fever dream rolling harder than Mark Cuban's hairless head at a Shark Tank reject afterparty.

Buckle up, degenerates—this episode of the Gnar Couch Podshow is a full-throttle plunge into the chaos of what might've been the gayest TDS Enduro yet (their words, not ours… actually, no, definitely ours). Cheef, JP, Boston Rob, and Jimmy Sniper are back, joined by misfits like April Zastrow, Ryan Rodriguez, NRML Mountain Biker, Teddy Hayden, and the mysteriously moist Colon Bumb, to unpack a weekend of sketchy lines, worse decisions, and the kind of campfire games that could get you banned from most public lands. There's mud. There's mayhem. There's Jimmy's godforsaken toe again (still dominating IG for some reason). Expect carnage, broken breakfast promises, heckling, pissed-off land owners, chair tackles, and the kind of post-race storytelling that smells like beer farts and regret. It's raw, it's ridiculous, and it's very Gnar Couch. Press play or forever wonder what a gay TDS even means. Check out our store for sick shirts. Got to our Patreon and give us money.

Welcome back to the Gnar Couch Podshow, where adult supervision is still just a rumor. This week, Chief, Boston Rob, and JP/Uncle Touche are joined by Ben Crockett—author, former editor of BMX Plus!, and full-time nostalgia dealer—for a full-throttle blast through the wild-ass chaos of growing up BMX, skating, and blowing stuff up in the 80s and 90s. Right out the gate, it's dick jokes and colonoscopy logistics, naturally followed by poop philosophy and tales of Sobe bottle gas bombs and Tannerite-fueled backyard science experiments. Just your typical Tuesday with the Gnar crew. Ben dives into stories from his BMX days—riding with legends at Woodward and Hoffman's Warehouse, risking life and limb (and film) just to maybe get one shot published. His new book Squeeze Light? Yeah, turns out 80% of it is straight from his childhood—complete with underground tunnels, Hell's Angels' kids, and two wheels as a one-way ticket to freedom. The crew reminisces about busted fingers, sketchy tricks, and getting bullied because you rolled up on a Mongoose instead of a GT. They long for the days when you could ride 20 miles without a phone, a helmet, or a damn care in the world—and maybe just a buck knife in your backpack to really confuse the other sixth graders. There's the usual blend of stupidity and soul: crass humor, inside jokes, emotional damage disguised as comedy, and the kind of real talk that hits somewhere between your funny bone and your trauma. Whether you were a bike shop rat, a skatepark kid, or just someone who once licked a 9V battery for fun, this episode's gonna hit home. Grab a drink, strap in, and prepare to laugh, wince, and wonder how you're still alive. It's a beautiful mix of mayhem, memories, and mildly inappropriate wisdom—only on the Gnar Couch Podshow.

Alright, strap in Gnards, ‘cause you're tuning into another idiotic episode of the Gnar Couch Podshow. Today, we're talking to “NRML MTB'er” — who, spoiler alert, is anything but normal. We've got Boston Rob, JP/Uncle Touche, Sebastian the wildcard guest, Chief, and Jimmy Sniper gearing up to take you on a deranged journey through mountain biking's less-traveled trails. After Rob morphs into his alter ego, DJ Fred when he plays our newest trap intro song—Canyon Kings—we talk collaborations with OnlyFans creators and reporter nerds going OTB on urban Frisco trails. NRML tells us about blasting bikes with every gun imaginable and we engage in some intense debates over which country deserves a mock nuclear winter. It's all the usual dumb humor with a side of stupid. Pack your sense of humor. Or don't, and cancel all of us. Whatever. We'll come back like cockroaches. Check out our store for sick shirts.

Strap in and hold on tight 'cause you're back with the Gnar Couch Podshow, the only show more unhinged than your grandma's teeth. This week, JP a.k.a. Uncle Touche, Boston Rob, Cheef, and Jimmy Sniper, are cranking one out with the Colorado Kid, a former engineer turned MTB jokester. We're kicking things off with a wild guess-who of the non-existent Russian hockey legend, Aleksander Rubonov, then veering straight into the absurdity of “front butts”—and yeah, it's exactly what it sounds like. Colorado Kid's here to spill the beans on ditching spreadsheets for spit-takes, proving life's too short for a real job. It's all unscripted, unhinged, and unbelievable.

After 10 long months of diaper blowouts and sleep deprivation, Cheef has returned from spawning his future giga-Chad son, and the Four Horsemen of the MTB Apocalypse are back to offend 90% of the MTB world while whispering sweet, honey-soaked nonsense into the ears of the remaining 10%. This week, Rampage rider and all-around dirt wizard Luke Whitlock joins the shitshow to talk about carving out unique trails, sending it at Rampage, harnessing the power of low-voltage electricity, and balancing it all with his strong Christian faith (which we definitely need more of around here, especially Rob). On a serious note, our friend Kevin Boyer—TRP Brakes' US OE Sales Manager and certified badass—was in a horrific snowboarding accident on March 7th, leaving him with no feeling or movement in his lower legs. A GoFundMe has been set up to help with his medical bills, rehab, home and vehicle modifications, and living expenses during his recovery. If you can donate, PLEASE do—it's the least we can do for a guy who's done so much for the MTB community. On a much less serious note, we discuss the deeply troubling rise of bike parks closing in favor of pickleball courts, and the possible impact this will have on JP's life as a GILF hunter. Plus, we dive into way more dumb shit, including but not limited to: country-rap fusion, BDSM uses for dropper posts, and another Baiku truth bomb from Jimmy.
