Missade ni att New York attackerades av rymdvarelser 2012? Eller att Peter Weyland samma år startade företaget Weyland Corp som inom kort kommer bygga en ascool Android vid namn David och som dessutom är asgrym på flöjt! Eller att USAs ekonomi just detta år kraschade så fett att man började använda fångar från fängelser till vad som kom att kallas för Death Races! Om ni inte känner till händelserna ovan, var lugna! Dessa skedde i parallella universum! Eller popkulturella universum om ni så vill! Universum inom popkulturen har funnits länge, men efter att Marvel tog det hela till en ny nivå via vita duken, så får vi nu en uppsjö av filmer, böcker, serier och spel som alla hänger ihop! Geekpodden har grävt ned sig ordentligt i detta fenomen!

Stefanie Bishop, OG CHAT BEHIND CLOSED DOORS EPISODE 4. A native New Yorker and the embodiment of adventure seeker, Stefanie competes, explores, and trains all over the globe.

Stefanie has a diverse athletic background, competing and excelling in various athletics from a very young age, ranging from soccer to fencing and lacrosse. She thrives on being challenged, which led her triathlon in 2005. Stefanie spent many years competing in triathlons, ranging from sprint to Ironman distances, and even competed at the Long Course Age Group World Championship. Stefanie began to flourish as an athlete upon discovering ultra-endurance sports. In 2010, she jumped at the opportunity to compete at a Peak Death Race - a race of unknown length and unknown tasks, lasting from approximately one to three days, testing athletes both physically and mentally. After becoming the overall champion 18 hours after her first Death Race, she realized that is what fueled her passion. Her love of these types of adventure competitions was apparent; she was the only athlete seen smiling constantly throughout the race. Stefanie went on to complete three more Death Races, lasting up to 65 hours in length, becoming the female champion twice and finishing in the top 10.

The Death Race for years served as the pinnacle of theSpartan Obstacle Racing challenge, it has recently been shelved and replaced with a different type of extreme challengeThe Agoge an event that provides up to 60 continuous hours of adventure. Yet, is it as extreme as its predecessor? We speak with Dylan Davis who over the past year participated in the winter and summer Death Races and the first two installments of Agoge to get his take on what one can expect when they face this challenge. What you learn may surprise you. Does Joe De Sena, mastermind of these challenges have a plan that has yet to be revealed? Listen and draw your own conclusions. The Spartan Agoge claims to bring together physical and mental strengths while developing innovative thinkers, prudent risk-takers, and expert decision-makers. Are you truly Spartan enough to meet this ancient rite of passage?
It's a tough subject, but someone's gotta talk about it... yes, those dreaded three letters. D. N. F. Did Not Finish. In this episode, Jody and David talk all things DNF as they introduce the first (and possibly last) ever Bad Boy Running guest, ultra-athlete Stefanie Bishop. Here's what we got up to: Jody confesses to doing something he's never done before… and David shows absolutely no sympathy towards him (honestly, not a word of support) The chaps drop the bombshell that the actually have a guest… introducing the incredible extreme racing champion and Death Race veteran Stefanie Bishop Stefanie explains her experience of running the first winter Death Race, shooting 9mms and tackling Olympic wrestlers… as well as the slightly lacking ‘motivational' speeches by the organiser to help you through it Stefanie ponders which is more difficult: sat in a cold pond for hours with hypothermia or drinking 4 litres of milk? Stefanie reveals the quality of the reward for completing Death Races (honestly, it's worth spending hours in a pond with hypothermia for…) David recalls the first time he met Stef at a race… and it wasn't pretty (for a very good reason) Why Stef had to be forced to DNF and why less clothes is often better (or not, as we discover) Stef reveals the frankly RIDICULOUS amount of time she spent trying to overcome one obstacle during a race (no, really you won't believe this) David accidentally reveals the names of two people in a relationship no-one is supposed to know about ALERT, ALERT… a genuinely good idea actually features on the show! David decides to end the podcast episode on a particularly awkward question for Stef Enjoy! If you enjoyed this episode please SUBSCRIBE to get every episode delivered to you before everyone else.
