Let's catch up on old times! This week we talk to our old pal and legendary musician Danno O'Shea. Danno is the drummer and band leader of My Son the Hurricane, but you will likely know him better as the drummer of the greatest Thrash metal band of all time, Skullkrusher. This episode we talk about pivoting, staying motivated and driven, and when will shows come back? We also relive some old road stories and talk about the time we filled a shopping cart with empty beer cans in four days.

We are finally back! SkullKrusher finally had his daughter and CD couldn't wait to make fun of him and tell him what a mistake that is. Meanwhile Klaus and Natalia make fun of both of them. We discuss the World Cup, of course, Formula 1, of course and CD reveals that he does not like fun. No wonder he likes cycling! We close with a little Tour de France and Giro Rosa chatter.

Natalia and SkullKrusher dive right into cycling talk. Well, they first talk about Julio Iglesias, Jose Jose, Jose Luis Perales, Jose Luis Rodriguez "El Puma," and any other ridiculous singers from the 70s that our mothers and aunts thought were so handsome and sexy. Eventually the get to the Tour of Flanders, men's and women's, and the Scheldeprijs. Predictions for Paris-Roubaix will be made on our Instagram @SpeedMetalCycl See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Technology is a bitch. Natalia, CD and SkullKrusher recorded a full episode, but somehow only half survived. Hope you enjoy it. Follow us in Instagram and Twitter (@speedmetalcycl), join our Spring Classics fantasy league on Velogames (507582913) and keep your eyes peeled for our new kits. Pre-orders start soon.

The silly made-up Mickey Mouse racing is over. No more fake "Fourth Grand Tours," no more training races with teams in the 5th division, no more cute races in the dessert in front of 4 people. The real cycling season is finally here. We discuss the first few races and look forward to the Strade Bianche. The SkullKrusher is joined by Natalia and CD. We also discuss basketball, Kurtis Blow, Star Trek Wars, and the new Portland. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
We are back, and we have a very special guest: Mike Spriggs! No joke, he's back for this episode to talk about the 2018 pro cycling kits. Also, the SkullKrusher shares some personal news. First some good news followed by some bad news. We talk about the weather and then Klaus tells us he's building a boat. Yeah, an actual boat. He's not kidding. Only Klaus would take a joke this far. He's actually building a boat 'cuz he thinks its hilarious. And it is. Anyway, this episode is all about the new kits... and Klaus' boat... and Jens Keukeleire's clavicle... and Klaus' boat... and Klaus' lightbulbs. And his boat. And maybe a little professional cycling thrown in. You know, for good measure. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
The whole gang is back together. And you know what that means. Klaus tells lots of stories of his trip to the Vuelta a España, Mike talks about his laundry, Natalia laughs a lot and SkullKrusher makes no sense and doesn't shut up. Topics include, electrical work, laundry services in New York City, Ivy League college exams, Alberto "El Pistolero" Contador, the World Championships and our picks. #cycling See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Another special episode. #sarcasm. The SkullKrusher goes off on Terpstra and his stupid Instagram comments about Team Manzana Postobon. WARNING, this is an explicit episode for sure! Meanwhile CD does the whole podcast on his Zwift machine thing dilly. Natalia tries to keep the podcast going, as usual. Good luck y'all. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
SkullKrusher is on vacation, but proves his dedication to the podcast (once again) by joining the rest of the peeps from an RV park near Mount Rainier National Park in Washington state. That's dedication, people! Topics include, but are not limited to: Beer, tiny houses, hotel ice machines, farts, burps, "Fabian" Aru, women's cycling, the Tour de Trump, Cascadia, Mike's dating life, Craig's List and Rigoberto Uran's future. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
We talk about movies forever; like for a long, long, long time. But not good movies, or artsy movies, or even block busters. No. We talk about Keanu Reeves movies and White Chicks. Oh well... we also talk about the Tour, but it's mostly the SkullKrusher screaming about how much he hates everything and how the Tour has been really boring and how he hates cancer research. Natalia laughs a lot, Klaus interrupts everyone and Mike says very little. You know, the usual. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
If you thought last episode was bad, hold on to your suck-orama hats, 'cuz this one is a doozie. Thankfully, SkullKrusher has the sense to cut it short. Wow. Wow... that's all we can say. *Eagle sound effect* See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
We finally sunk the podcast. Mike predicts this will be the last episode. Believe us, it's so bad, it might just be. SkullKrusher is suffering from a bad throat infection, but that doesn't stop him from being as loud, obnoxious or opinionated as ever. Natalia loses her cool over Royalty, Klaus goes on about Leica cameras... That's all after we sorta talk about the Hammer Series and the Dauphine. It swirls downward after that... quickly. SkullKrusher sings, too. It's bad. Really bad. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
We get incredibly personal and uncomfortable with the SkullKrusher's first story. Truly cringe-worthy. Ugh. Then we talk about that HBO mockumantary, some other stuff and we do a Giro trivia game. Then, after 40 minutes, we finally talk about the race. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Between the Giro d'Italia (the 2nd Grand Tour), the men's Tour of California (the 4th Grand Tour), and the women's Tour of California (the 6th Grand Tour), we have plenty of BS to talk about. And do we ever! Talk BS, I mean. Also, SkullKrusher blows a gasket over Patrick Dempsey. Geez, this dude cares about the weirdest shit. Seriously, bro, calm down, you're gonna give yourself an aneurysm! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
With the last weekend of the Ardennes classics behind us, you'd think we'd have plenty of cycling to talk about, right? Well, SkullKrusher rants about driverless cars, tells the story of Hachikō the dog, Natalia goes on and on about social media, Klaus interrupts everyone and all the while, Mike remains his quite self. We do, eventually, get to discuss La Flèche Wallonne, and Liège–Bastogne–Liège, both men's and women's. The classics season is over. Sad. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
We review each others choices from last episode. Namely; Kraken - Kraken", Silencer "Death - Pierce Me" and Italy's Black Hole "Land of Mystery". SkullKrusher sounded like he was drunk. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
The SkullKrusher "sits down" with Gregg Betonte, co-owner of TV Motos International, a company that supplies races with motos for TV, of course. Not only is Gregg the boss, but he's also a camera guy. He shared plenty of insight with us. Enjoy the bonus episode! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
We announce the launch of our Patreon campaign, we read some emails and Instagram stuff and then we discuss Paris-Roubaix. After that the SkullKrusher disappears and the other three have to finish the episode on their own. That's how we roll. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
We discuss battle vests, Obituary long sleeves, patches, pins, etc and how they fit (or not) into our lives today. SkullKrusher is once again chosen as the biggest poser of the bunch. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Klaus rejoins the gang, but does so from an echoey cave. He sounds like the spirit of an evil cycling fan who isn't scary at all. We apologize for that. We discuss Paris-Nice, Tirreno-Adriatico and the Ronde van Drenthe. Natalia and caveman Klaus have plenty of opinions, while SkullKrusher goes on about some nonsense and Mike... well we thought Mike was dead for a little, or maybe had just passed out. Fortunately , that was not the case. We think he just fell asleep. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Yes, this is the same dudes who bring you the Metal Inquisition blog. Gene Hoglan's Balls, ChristButcher and SkullKrusher reunite to kick some sense into your empty heads. Our premiere episode goes something like this: we each made a list of 10 albums that affected our teen years. We go over the lists and make fun of each other. Irreverent humor, the MI way. Deal. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Mike is back. Unfortunately, so is SkullKrusher. We discuss the first few races of the European season and Klaus retells the best joke ever told for Mike's enjoyment. 'Krusher promises that they will record more often now that the season is in full force. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
We find out that Iron Maiden makes SkullKrusher cry. Seriously. Topics in this episode range from early 90s hip-hop to (the) Eagles and Steely Dan. From the Giro dell'Emilia to Tom Danielson's girlfriend. The mystery of why sedans (saloons, in the UK) do not have read window wipers is solved by Klaus. What else, what else? Can't remember anything else, but we're sure there's more... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
It's a full house once again. And no, we are not talking Danny, Joey, Uncle Jesse and Kimmy. Klaus, Mike and Natalia join the SkullKrusher for a fun-filled episode. They discuss Colombian witchcraft in California, and the amazing Vuelta that was. Ekekos come up more than once, so when you are looking them up, make sure you spell it correctly: Ekekos. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Natalia and the SkullKrusher find themselves home alone. With the two parents away the proceed to talk. A lot. Olympics and the upcoming Vuelta are the main topics, but they discuss football (soccer) in Colombia, a little comic book talk and string theory. Also, predictions and picks for the Vuelta, including Klaus' and Mike's. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Mike and SkullKrusher man the ship alone on this one. They discuss 'Krusher's hatred of anything and everything Olympics, the men and women's Olympic race and late season transfers. Also, Natalia sends in a recording with her thoughts on the women's race and the Lizzie Armitstead affair. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Tour de France banter, of course. Froome punches a Colombian in the face, then attacks one on the descent. The Red Kite inflatable needs Viagra. MC Hammer and Weird Al team up... or do they? We also make fun of Andy Schleck and SkullKrusher admits his crush on Mark Cavendish. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
We apologize for the audio issues. Yet another sign that we have no idea WTF we are talking about. We discuss the Dauphiné, Route du Sud and Tour de Suisse. Also the women's Philly race and the Aviva women's tour. The SkullKrusher has been on a diet lately, which has kept him away from beer. He may seem understandingly irked these days. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Mike, Klaus and Dan are in rare rambling form. Mostly Dan. That led to 54% of the episode having to be edited out. You missed a lengthy ramble by SkullKrusher about Cinco de Mayo, a little discussion about the Black Panther and some talk about internet porn stars. Other than that, it's all in there: Natalia sent a report to catch us up on the world of women's cycling, LBL, Romandie, bicycles... we also made our predictions for the Giro. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
The SkullKrusher welcomes back Klaus who tells a few tales of his trip to Paris-Roubaix. Mike and Natalia also join in as they discuss Amstel Gold, the Fleche Wallonne (men's and women's), and all sorts of other stuff like Quincy Jones, Klaus' favorite topic: Alejandro Valverde's hairline.

The UCI World Championships were this weekend in Richmond, VA. All three of us were there, but we did not hang out together. We each had a job to do and we did it. Klaus was covering the event as media, Mike was there as a Rapha representative, SkullKrusher had a lot of beers to drink. In this episode we talk all about it and share our silly stories. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
The SkullKrusher is drunk and that's all you need to know. Oh, that and that we talked about the Vuelta and e-bikes. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Mike Spriggs swears he wasn't on a date. Nibali swears it was only 100m. Klaus swears he knows who Joe Dombrowski is. SkullKrusher's wife swears she knows nothing about pro cycling. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
The SkullKrusher and Mike are joined by special guest Maiko, who hasn't been a guest in a long, long while. Together they discuss everything that has gone on in France on the last week; from squashed testicles to decaf tea. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
We start by talking about Mike breaking his chain and disposing of it rather than trying to fix it. From there we move on to hot police officers in Italy, the BAR test in the state of New York and, of course, we make fun of Amgen. The SkullKrusher tried to play a game with Mike and Klaus, but they suck at it and he quickly gives up. Dudes don’t look good in yoga pants. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
