Bonk Bros

What is up party people. Boy do we have a show for y’all today. With Tyler and Scott both unable to record this week we figured what better time to bring a on a guest. So we put up a poll on the Instawaves asking y’all who you wanted to hear on the show this week and taking the top spot was none other than friend of the pod Kerry Werner. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to nail him down as he had some bike build wizardry to conduct before the big Northwoods showdown Saturday but we made up for it with landing not one but TWO guests instead. That’s right, we were joined by Midwest native Alexey Vermeulen (@alexeyvermeulen) and the Swiss beast Konny Looser (@konnylooser). Both of whom are in the LifeTime Grand Prix this season and have had some standout performances in the series so far. So kick back and tune in for a fun conversation with these two on the LTGP, Chequamegon, Vuelta takes, and more in a pseudo Q&A style format.

If you have any feedback or questions for the show drop us a note at [email protected] or hit us up on the Bonk Bros Instagram page (@bonkbros @scottmcgilljr @dylanjawnson @adamsaban6 @tylerclouti @raddaddizzle).

Episode 125 - Life Time Grand Prix Selections and Listener non-Questions

What up party people. Thanks to everyone who sent us your favorite races that you’d like to see the Bonk Bros at in 2025. Despite Dizzle bashing y’all for not submitting questions, it’s fun to hear about all these new races no matter how big or small they are, especially those local races with hefty prize purses. Dizzle loved that. We pretty much just cover all the LTGP selections before hopping into some listener non-questions.

What up party people. Dizzle had the ride of his life at the US cyclocross nationals this weekend, okay maybe not quite but a good ride nonetheless, and we get him in the hot seat to break the whole thing down. We also banter on about plenty of tire questions and then get into an interesting proposition from one of the fans who suggested we start a Grand Prix, or as I like to think of it as, the Bonk Bros Grande Prix. Let’s hear what y’all think, is this something we should consider tossing up into the ether to see whether it sticks? Hit us up with your thoughts and any other questions for the show at [email protected] or at the Bonk Bros Instagram page (@bonkbros @dylanjawnson @adamsaban6 @tylerclouti @raddaddizzle). The show page is only a few followers away from exceeding my personal follower count so get over there and give the show a following so I can finally throw in the social media towel and abandon the platform once and for all. Well, probably not really but you catch my drift.

Big shout to all of our trusty Patreon supporters for helping us pay the bills. Yes, this may be a free show for most but that doesn’t mean there ain’t behind the scenes expenses, plenty of them for that matter. With that I want to give a special shout to a couple of our newest supporters, Julien and Matt, for coming out swinging with some big monthly support. If you too want to throw a few coins in the ol’ Bonk Bros piggy bank, check that Patreon link in the show notes (http://patreon.com/patreon_bonkbros).

One last thing, we’re working on a little Bonk Bros media makeover and we’re at the point where it’s time to bring in some professional assistance with a few things. If you work or have experience in the graphic or creative design space, branding, marketing, etc and want the chance to work with your favorite podcasters to refresh some things hit us up. We’re not looking for hand outs so don’t think we’re expecting pro-bono work here, it’d just be rad to work with someone who actually knows the show rather than some no-name Jane off Upwork who tries to turn our branding into some fairyland express. Alright alright let’s get this thing started.
