After we covered World's Toughest Mudder we went to Paris to experience France for the first time! We then took a train to Geneva, Switzerland and drove down to cover the in Morzine, France! This is part 2 of 2 for our coverage which is everything from Saturday! This features a wedding, the award ceremony, and athlete interviews. Some interviews were more difficult to conduct due to language barriers but I appreciate those who took the time to talk to us. That is the fun part of going to new countries but it makes it difficult when covering events as a podcast. Hope you...

We did it! We have recorded, edited, produced, and published 500 episodes! Never missing a week, this took us 9 and a half years! We celebrate as we did last time with an Instagram live (admittedly more last minute than last time), Katelyn surprised me with more messages of support, and I put some personal and show mentions of us from other podcasts since recording episode 400 in a compilation to celebrate. Enjoy the unedited part of the show as well as the additional stuff at the end. Thank you for the support over the years. Show will resume as normal next week! Start –...

We were on vacation in Colorado busy exploring Denver, Colorado Springs, and Manitou Springs and didn't have time for an interview. Instead, Mike and Katelyn do a post race and pre race discussion for New York Hyrox and World's Toughest Mudder respectively! Mike wasn't content with last week's episode in that he didn't get to talk much about his first Hyrox experience after the event and didn't want it tied to premium Patreon content as was teased in the post credit audio of that episode.
