Zach and Luke are true ride-or-dies. They joke like childhood friends, support each other like pro tour teammates and share a deep passion for working hard, on and off the bike. No stone is left unturned when trying to increase their FTP and watts per kilo. And just like their riding, they’ve put consistent effort into building a strong, healthy relationship with each other.

Luke and Zach, sincere thanks for making the time to do this. Much love, amigos!

Over two years ago, on the very first episode of the Ping Pong Pizza Party, Big Dave and I chatted so much he said the interview "might have to be a two-parter." Dude was right...Here's part 2!

And I must say it was a treat getting to know Kirstin. We'd met a few times in passing but this time around we shared many stories, a lot of which were not recorded, but sometimes we just gotta live in the moment. I hope you enjoy what we did manage to catch on tape.

Wishing Big Cuddly Dave and the wonderful Miss Kirstin safe travels on their Big Bend adventure and everyone else out there a very merry Christmas :)

Thanks for listening.

Another 12 Hours Of Old El Paso is in the books! After a few days of recovery, processing and reflection, I had the honor of sitting with sepsi bois, Luke Cutberth and James Garcia, to chat about it.

James and Luke, I appreciate you both for making time to do this.

Thanks for listening!

"Dude, I'm cursed."

That's what Luke said to me about 2 months before the 2023 Leadville 100 mountain bike race. I laughed and thought he was just being silly, as usual, but he was NOT kidding.

Join us as Luke shares his 5-year epic journey to "The Big Race," turning what he once believed to be a relentless curse into a blessing beyond what words can describe.

Thanks for listening.

Oceana is a rad woman, on and off the bike. We chat about how she got her start in cycling, her transition into riding enduro mountain bikes, the different roles she's taken on in helping local cycling non-profits and so much more.

Thanks for listening.

"In this episode of Ping Pong Pizza Party, the host becomes the guest. I’m James Garcia, guest host, and I wanted to give Richie the opportunity to speak his dream into existence. Richie's a passionate dad, bike mechanic, son, brother, and altogether a great soul. I hope you will learn what I have learned about Richie over the last 20 plus years of being his friend, and that is that he has a heart of gold and all of the tools to achieve anything he sets his mind to. Never stop being a kid and dream big, hermano. Love you."

Rob Nice, a former tenured professor of the literary arts and hip-hop aficionado, is breaking ground in the hip-hop world bringing his experience from academia to the streets in a unique way.

As the creator, owner and operator of Rap Seminar LLC, Rob offers lyrical artists a variety of services and tools to support their growth and offer a platform for real time connection.

We talked about lyrical analysis, rhyme counts, schemes, themes and everything in between. We touched on early life experiences and influences. We got into who Rob is as a person and what all of this is really about.

Sincere thanks to Master Nice for sharing time and space with me.

I truly feel his story is one that can motivate and inspire anyone.

It certainly did me.

Love and respect.

Thanks for listening.
