How lucky am I? I get to chat with some of the baddest, most skilled, most talented adventurers on the planet. Well, I've got a bonus episode for you guys this week. It's so good, I just wanted to get it out! Hector Rodriguez just completed what is affectionately known as the Triple Crown of 200's. That's three 200 mile races within a three month window. It's been a goal of his to complete this insane, mind melting adventure for over a year now. And he did it. We get into it all from humble beginnings to strategy to the Wolfpack that he rolls with and just what it takes to run three 200's over the summer. These last couple of episodes have been some of my favorites and I hope you like this one as much as I did!

Mike Watson has been one of the more consistent tournament performers over his 15-year poker career, having racked up more than $12.5 million on the circuit. The St. Johns, Newfoundland native broke out in 2008, winning the WPT Bellagio Cup main event for nearly $1.7 million. In addition to numerous final tables on the high roller circuit, he also took down the 2016 EPT PokerStars Caribbean Adventure, giving him two parts of poker's elusive Triple Crown.  Watson does have two wins at the World Series of Poker. The first came in a 2011 WSOP Europe side event, and the second was a year later at the WSOP Europe when he banked $1.3 million in the high roller event. Unfortunately, neither of those WSOP events awarded bracelets.In the last couple of years, 'SirWatts' has rededicated himself to online poker, bringing his career totals to $10 million. As a result, he is now Canada's top-ranked online player according to PocketFives, and reached a peak of no. 3 in the world earlier this year.  Highlights from this interview include when wedding season collides with poker season, having professors for parents, being a 'math nerd,' the Waterloo-poker connection, life-changing money at Bellagio, re-evaluating his game, winning two WSOP events and getting no bracelets, a big score in the Bahamas, a high-stakes online run, six-figure cash game pots, winning with Sam Greenwood, working as an umpire, fooling Dan Heimiller as Martin Jacobson, and enjoying sushi pizza for breakfast.

 Listen to the thrilling conclusion of adventurist twins, Landen and Garrett Napier's crowning achievement of long distance hiking's Triple Crown. On this episode, the twins take us through their toughest challenge yet, the Continental Divide Trail. 

Melanie Smith Taylor is a rider, author, and clinician who became one of only two riders to ever win the Triple Crown of Show Jumping (the American Invitational, the International Jumping Derby, and the American Gold Cup). It's no secret that Melanie is a true icon at best as she is also the only rider to ever win the entire Triple Crown on the same horse. While she has so many achievements and interests within the equestrian world, Melanie as a rider and trainer is also interested in veterinary medicine and course design. As if she hasn't done enough already, Melanie has also attended eight Olympic Games as an analyst with NBC Sports. Listen in and hear this incredible story.   cover photo by: Lawrence Nagy

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, we open the show with a Hiker Trash edition of "Hot Ones", where Chaunce and Badger are grilled by Elise while eating incredibly hot wings. Tears, fear, and slamming beers ensues. We also feature our most impromptu interview to date with our new pal, Fancy Feast. Fancy Feast just wrapped a thru-hike of the Colorado Trail, after having her SOBO PCT plans thwarted by California's fires. In addition to giving us the unenviable story of finding Badger's dirty socks, she shares her experiences of working a variety of conservation jobs, including her time at the Green Mountain Club, and quite possibly the funniest trail name origin story we've ever heard. We wrap the show with a triple crown of the most beautiful spaces we've seen while backpacking, a quick n dirty gear review on the Platypus QuickDraw, and some listener feedback on period underwear.   Minus33: Head to minus33.com and use code “21backpacker15” for 15% off your order Enlightened Equipment: Save 10% off of Enlightened Equipment's Stock Revelation Quilt or Torrid Jacket with code “thetrek10” here  Organifi discount code: Use code “backpacker” at organifi.com/backpacker for 20% off your purchase ZBiotics: Use code “trek10” at zbiotics.com [divider] Interview with Fancy Feast Fancy Feast's Instagram Time stamps & Questions 00:04:40 - QOTD: Do people attempting an FKT take the time to bury their poop? 00:06:30 - Backpacker Team Hot Ones 00:07:23 - How is everyone's spice tolerance?  00:09:05 - Chaunce, what's the longest you have gone without a shower? 00:11:00 - Zach, are there any big adventure plans with Leo?  00:12:20 - Chaunce, if you could co-host with someone other than Zach, who would you pick? 00:12:42 - Zach, if you could co-host with someone other than Chaunce, who would you pick? 00:14:03 - Can you name the first 10 episodes of Backpacker Radio in order?  00:18:11 - Zach, do you and Chaunce ever argue over creative differences?

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, we are rejoined by Nicole Antoinette.  We get an update on how her Colorado Trail hike went, including some very unexpected turns, we learn more about her entry into van life, and what advice she'd give to others looking to do the same, and chat about her new book which she is reluctant to call a book, How to Be Alone, an 800-mile hike on the Arizona Trail.  Perhaps it goes without saying, but for those who were fans of Nicole's first appearance on the show, this one will not disappoint.  We wrap the show with Chaunce butchering the pronunciation of Wisconsin town names, a quick education on the bark beetle problem facing the American West, an exciting announcement about a not-yet-fully-fledged Backpacker Radio sponsorship for one lucky 2022 thru-hiker, a triple crown of stereotypical dog names, and much more.

On this episode of Running Times, Gagz connects with Brian Wilford, Head Medic for Destination Trails and the Triple Crown of 200s: Bigfoot, Tahoe, and Moab. He was the medic for 2021 Ouray 100 and also served as medical consultant for the Cocodona 250. Brian spent 30 years working for the Green Valley Fire Department before retiring in 2017 as Battalion Chief. Brian has saved countless lives over the course of his career. These days, however, The Medicine Man is committed to saving runner's races (and their lives) as he travels the country in an RV with his rescue dogs going from one big mountain ultra to the next. This conversation is loaded with tips and tricks for the novice and grizzled ultrarunner alike, and is one you won't want to miss - especially if you're considering a gnarly mountain 100 or 200 miler. Hear for yourself how Brian saved Gagz' race at Tahoe earning him the moniker "Best Cut Man in the Business." You can learn more about Brian Wilford by following @bajarunnr on IG.

Carson Macedo got the biggest win of his career, David Gravel couldn't capitalize on a down weekend for Brad Sweet, Tim McCreadie can cruise to his first ever Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series title and more from the dirt racing weekend that was.

Chris “Cookie Monster” Pirrello  shares his New England Trail thru-hike with listeners and gives information on planning, logistics, responsible stealth camping, resupply and what any hiker needs to know about this trail. Chris and Lori also talk about  how his love of trail and love of great coffee intersected with the purchase of the Triple Crown Coffee company founded by Lisa Seeley. Chris is a thru-hiker who has completed eight long-distance trails including the three trails that make up the Triple Crown. He purchased Triple Crown Coffee in 2020 as a way to combine his two loves, coffee and thru-hiking.  The New England National Scenic Trail (NET) is a 215-mile hiking trail route that has been in existence for over half a century. The NET travels through 41 communities in Connecticut and Massachusetts, and is comprised primarily of the historic Mattabesett, Metacomet, and Monadnock (M-M-M) Trail systems.

Adam Copeland is joined by San Francisco Chronicle Columnist Bruce Jenkins to talk about the amazing season Ohtani is having and who he thinks should win the MVP awards. Shohei Ohtani is having a great season at the plate and on the mound. Bruce thinks when he is a free agent, he needs to go to a new team. He will need to find the right team and manager that will let him continue to pitch and hit. Vlad Jr could win the Triple Crown and still not win the MVP, which is crazy. Bruce talks about if a pitcher should ever win the MVP award. And the guys discuss who they think should win the NL MVP.

Coming off of a weekend series win against the Twins, the Blue Jays find themselves 1.5 games clear of the New York Yankees for the 2nd Wild Card spot in the American League. They trail the Boston Red Sox by 1 game for the 1st Wild Card spot. Jose Berrios was dialed in against his former team on Sunday after the bats staked him to a 5 run lead. Vladdy has his average up to .321 with 46 HR and 105 RBI as he chases the Triple Crown and MVP. The Jays placed the struggling Hyun-jin Ryu on the IL with a neck strain as they hope the rest will help him sort out the command issues that have plagued him in the 2nd half. It's on to Tampa for one final regular season series with the 1st place Rays. Justin and Patrick will be back at the conclusion of Wednesday's game with another episode of BFMD!

Dylan & Henry go around the league rapid fire covering everything to do with the final two weeks of the season. Scherzer for CY, Robbie Ray vs Gerrit Cole, AL Wild Card Picture, Cardinals vs Dodgers WC, who's the next Mets GM and manager, is Aaron Boone safe, can the Brewers win the World Series, can Vladito win the Triple Crown but lose the MVP, will we film an episode from Baltimore?  All that and so much more! To join the fun, interact with the guys, and be a part of a future episode, reach out to us @SideRetiredPod on twitter, our DMs are always open! 

On this week's episode we're recapping the first week of the NFL Season, where we had upsets, injuries and everyone surviving week 1 of the survivor pool. The Toronto Blue Jays are making a run at the postseason, while Vladdy is chasing down a Triple Crown. Hosk has lots of stuff to talk about including the WWE finally making some good decisions by having Big E cash in Money in the Bank to win the WWE Championship, TNT announces its NHL broadcast crew and we recap our Rare Stakes. Big Brother is making history with its final 6 and we catch up on what has happened in the last week. To close the show Jones takes us through another segment of The Grill where we answer some question about who we'd rather have pitching an elimination game for the Jays, what is the Jays most impressive recent stat, where will Ilya Michayev slot into the Leafs lineup and does Aaron Rodgers need a statement game in Week 2 to calm Packers nation.

The Baseball Barista with Hunter Pence & Grant Brisbee is back for another cup of hot baseball takes and thoughts. The guys are going to talk about Vlad Jr going for the Triple Crown, if clinching a playoff spot too early is bad and rooting for chaos with the Wild Cards. The Toronto Blue Jays are on fire and are being led by possible Triple Crown winner Vladimiir Guerrero Jr. There is a chance that Vlad Jr could win the Triple Crown and still not win MVP cause of the season Ohtani is having. Robbie Ray is another guy who has really been on fire for the Blue Jays. The guys break down the other Wild Card races and how they are kinda rooting for chaos at the end. They talk about how the Cardinals seem to always sneak back into things later in the season. The Cards are once again led by Adam Wainwright, who just keeps getting better with age. They talk about how Buster Posey is back and is a big face of baseball and most likely a Hall of Famer. They talk about if clinching a playoff spot or division is a good or bad thing.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is in the midst of a season unlike any his family has ever seen, and that's saying a lot. Vlady just hit more single-season home runs with the Toronto Blue Jays than his all-star father, Canada baseball hero Vlad Sr., ever did. Now Vlad Jr. has the Triple Crown in his sights. Plus he's led his Blue Jays to the cusp of the postseason, as they return to Toronto after Covid exile in Buffalo, New York. Devin Gordon tells us how Vlady went from Canada's golden son to quietly becoming his own legend.

Tim and Jesse talk about the continued dominance of the Blue Jays. Jeff Passan, JP Morosi, and Scott MacArthur (24:30) debate who the AL MVP should be. Cabbie Richard (51:31) visits to catch up and tell us about his new gig at Sportsnet. Plus, a Monday Night Football recap. The views and opinions expressed in this […]

Jalen & Jacoby discuss why they're still down on the Raiders after their big win over the Ravens. How long will Aaron Rodgers' offseason drama loom over the Packers? Would a Triple Crown be enough to push Vlad Guerrero Jr. past Shohei Ohtani in the AL MVP race? PLUS, Tom Brady is STILL trolling the Falcons. All that and more.

In this episode, after bringing you up to date on G's latest progress, two questions about young puppy obedience and finally a discussion of the Triple Crown a week ago and the great dogs that ran in it...

Lucja Leonard loves running, but hasn't always!  A Dutch-born, Aussie raised, British woman living in the USA with her husband & fellow ultra runner, Dion Leonard, and their 2 fur-kids Gobi & Lara life is anything but straight forward.  Overweight, unfit and unhappy Lucja turned her well-being and overall happiness around when she took up running in 2004 to try and lose some weight off her 216 pound, and growing, body.  Never much for sports growing up she was surprised to discover that she enjoyed the thrill of running and after running her first marathon in 2010 she started to wonder what more her body was capable of. In 2013 she ran her first ultra marathon as part of the Kalahari Extreme Marathon, a 250km race over 6 stages/7days through the Kalahari desert in South Africa where you have to carry all your kit and food to survive the entire week!  From here she was unstoppable having run a multitude of ultras around the world, the tougher and higher the DNF rate the more excited she gets about giving it a go.  Lucja's experience now includes epic races such as Leadville 100, Ultra Trail Mont Blanc 106 miles, Oman by UTMB, Marathon Des Sables and Transgrancanaria 125km to name just a few.  This year she takes on her biggest challenge to date by attempting to run the Triple Crown of 200 milers, Bigfoot 200, Tahoe 200 & Moab 240 over only a 9 week period in total! Ultra running has not just shaped Lucja's mind and body but it has changed both her and Dion's lives.  Dion was running a 250k/155mile multi stage race across the Gobi desert in China in 2016 when a stray dog started following him.  She would run nearly 80 miles with him and Dion and Lucja turned their lives upside down in the process of adopting her from China to the UK where they were living at the time.  You can read more about their true & inspiring story in the NY Times bestselling book 'Finding Gobi' which is also being made into a Hollywood film. Lucja lives her life fearless!  The bigger the challenge the better.  She went from overweight and unhappy to fit and having incredible adventures.  On this podcast Lucja talks about her very first epic ultra and subsequent struggles.  She also opens up about insecurities and how she has overcome them through positive self-talk.  Lucja tells us about her biggest challenge to date, the Triple Crown of 200 milers and raising money for the Pink Ribbon Foundation that supports breast cancer patients, which is a charity close to her heart.  We know you will walk away from this one as inspired as we were.  “Believe in yourself as others believe in you”. You can find out more about Lucja and follow her journey @runningdutchie on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

We talk Yankees and Mets' 9/11 ceremony and game, the series finale and the whistling controversy, why it's being labeled as “cheating,” Max Scherzer collecting his 3,000 strikeout in one of his best career performances, how it's still weird seeing him in a Dodger jersey (and speculating about how he truly feels about being a part of a juggernaut team), the Brewers combining for a no-hitter and why this was the last thing people who are already tired of no-hitters this year needed to see, a check-in on the Triple Crown race for Vladdy Jr., the announcement that Trevor Bauer won't be pitching for the remainder of 2021 and much more!

TSN Blue Jays Reporter Scott Mitchell joined the OverDrive guys earlier today from the Rogers Centre ahead of the Jays series versus Tampa Bay. He touched on that, the triple crown chase for Vlad Guerrero Jr & the huge offensive numbers from this weekend in Baltimore.

Mitch is out today but Ray, Chuck, Chad, and Coach Al breakdown the Phillies with an extended analysis by special guest Larry Bowa! Phillies are 4.5 games back in the division and 2.5 games back in the Wild Card - with the Braves pulling away, the Wild Card is looking like the Phillies best chance. Did you know Juan Soto's performance in the second half of this season is perhaps one of the best ever? This past weekend, the Blue Jays scored 44 runs in three games, a tremendous three game span led by superstar Vladimir Guerrero Jr. who is battling for the first Triple Crown since 2012 - who else has done this? Lastly, we touch on the Eagles and their dominating start to the season - today is a can't miss show!

This episode's guest is Lucja Leonard. This is one of those conversations I didn't want to end. Lucja is so much fun to talk to and I want to go run with her one day now.   This episode has it all—Lucja didn't start running until about 2008. She was looking for a healthy lifestyle change and fell in love with running. She has words of wisdom about how we are all born to run.   Lucja's love for running is shared by her husband, Dion. Together, they found the sport and became ultra-runners. Lucja and Dion have lived and run all over the world. Talking to her makes me want to jump on a plane and take a bunch of runcations! Currently, they are living in the U.S. and Lucja is about to take on the second leg of the Triple Crown of 200s. The triple crown includes three 200+ mile races with lots of elevation gain. All three races have time cutoffs and are within a period of nine weeks. So there is very little recovery between efforts. The second of the three races had to be canceled because of fires, so Lucja is running it virtually soon—she needs pacers, so if you're interested, listen to the info she gives in this episode. In this episode, you'll hear her say the second race is 10 days away, but I recorded this last week, so that's coming up like right now. Also, you'll hear me ask her if she knows how many steps she took at the first race and she said she'd check. Lucja messaged me later with that info—the total was 481,248 steps at one race!   Lucja also tells me the story of the dog her husband rescued during an ultra in the Gobi Desert in China. It's a wonderful story about how this scraggly pup chose Dion to be his person and how Dion bonded with the dog during the race and did everything he could to get the pup home. They named the dog Gobi and there's a great book out about the adventure and there will be a movie soon!   Check out my show notes. I have links to the organization Lucja is raising money for through the Triple Crown of 200s. I also have links to her Instragram profile as well as Gobi and Dion's.   Show Notes:   Lucja Leonard's site (Running Dutchie) Lucja on Instagram Gobi on Instagram Finding Gobi site Donate to Pink Ribbon Foundation Donate to Team Our Lady of the Angels 2021 UCAN (use code INASKIRT2020 for 15% off your order)   Follow In A Skirt:   In A Skirt Website In A Skirt on Facebook In A Skirt on Instagram In A Skirt on Twitter    

England v India reaches its conclusion with England battling for a respectful draw and Virat Kohli has the opportunity to score the first goal in his potential captain's hat-trick of an overseas series win over England, RCB's IPL crown and India's world cup win. We preview the final test at Old Trafford, asking if both teams finally decide to play two spinners (come on Virat, play Ashwin!), if Jonny Bairstow is more important to England than the Pope, will Joe Root continue to run Robinson and Anderson into the ground? We also wonder if this is the end of the line for Rahane and its the beginning of the Jadeja, Pant, Ashwin and Thakur middle-order extravaganza. India have named their T20 World Cup squad which includes big news. KL Rahul the ball eater is in, Kohli is captain and Ashwin is back after a 4 year absence. Check out our reaction to it now!

Drew welcomes Rob Wong, host of Blue Jays Baseball and Jays Talk on Sportsnet 590, to Spin Rate! The birds of a feather flock towards a recent development in the AL East, the Rays acquiring slugger, Nelson Cruz. What does this transaction portend for Toronto? Was Nelson a checkbox on the Jays' trade deadline wishlist? On this hypothetical wishlist, Joey Gallo is presumably a name underscored and circled for Ross Atkins and co. Should the Jays move Heaven and Earth for Gallo, or should they continue to wait and fortify their resources for the offseason when a 2022 playoff push might be more realistic? Is Vlad destined for the Triple Crown, and how valuable would Bo Bichette be as a trade piece?

This week we are chatting with Lucja Leonard about her recent finish of the Mohican 100, her history as an ultra runner and her upcoming challenge taking on the triple crown of 200s!! Lucja recently went back to the Mohican 100 in Ohio to complete the very first 100 she attempted. In this episode we chat all about her experience getting payback on this race before diving into stage racing and how she is training for her upcoming attempt at tackling Bigfoot, Tahoe and Moab. We also talked briefly about crewing her husband Dion at the Badwater 135 (the race just finished and we recorded this episode a few weeks ago! I'm happy to report that Dion placed 6th in a very stacked field in a ridiculously hard ultra marathon). Hope you guys enjoy the episode!!

Today is the first of four shorter shows, with just one main interview and a few words of commentary from me. With a bit of luck, I'll be out on the John Muir Trail as you're listening to me and my guests. Our guests today are Vince and Monica Strawbridge who, along with their four children and a friend, have recently completed the Appalachian Trail. For the Strawbridges, it was the culmination of their family Triple Crown. This remarkable feat was achieved over a few years as the family responded to the hard times of the financial crisis by getting out on trails and realizing that their kids not only took to the lifestyle, but actually thrived out there. The family maintained a YouTube and Instagram account as they completed their hikes. You can visit them here. https://www.youtube.com/strawbridgetreksfamily https://www.instagram.com/strawbridgetreks/ If you like what we're doing on the Hiking Radio Network, and want to see our shows continue, please consider supporting us with either a one-off or monthly donation.
