This one’s special. Recorded live from the patio at Scottsdale Harley-Davidson during the Rev Up Rally at Arizona Bike Week 2025, this episode is packed with energy, bikes, and some incredible guests.

The homies Colton and Sean put together a stunt day for the locals heads and the last one was such a great time that they couldnt wait to put the next one together. We made the rules of S-K-E-T-C-H on the spot and breakdown what the last Stunt Day was like. These guys do it for the love of the sport and for the people. See you September 22 at the Oxnard Stunt Lot!!!

The older I get the more I realize that Men's Mental Health is a real thing that a lot of men deal with that never speak about it. I went a little off brand this week and invited over a my homies, Mikey aka @1slowbagger33 and Kai aka @prodigythemechanic, to keep it real and talk like grown men. The first issue with Mens Mental Health is that its not talked about enough, and so i made it an obligation to speak on it during Mens Mental Health Awareness Month. Don't be silent about your struggles, its ok to reach out and we as men need to reach out to our friends more.

Our homies from LFR always put on a good show and this year was no different. Not a lot of podcasting went down because we were too busy having a good time! That girl Gogo stopped by the booth to talk about her 50 state completion.

This year we set up camp at Harley Davidson of Scottsdale and during Arizona Bike Week and we had some cool guest roll through and hang out. The Upshift Podcast, Jess Rips, Prettymomma, Hogs Nest and many others dropped by for this one. Enjoy this one from Arizona Bike Week!

We aren't opposed to talking about the things happening within the Harley scene and this episode is no different. Ryan Kruesi called out Hale Speed on his shit talking and Hale Speed refused to put em up. If you are going to talk shit, you got to be ready to back it up. We give our opinion about this situation on this episode, like it or not, here it is! Enjoy this one!

What you see on social media isn't always what it's made up to be in the Motorcycle Industry. There is a side to the industry that isn't always pretty.
