Episode # 10 - Taboo! Climbers Edition & The Mikes pt. 2

06/29/18 • 72 min

Special Bonus Episode! Well... the second half of the conversation with the legendary Mike and Mike.

Steve and Alisha are now BACK! We will be back to regular programming shortly, but in the meantime, please enjoy more drama with the Mikes (who will definitely be back in future episodes).

We start out with a 'Shit We've Seen at the Crag', then play climbing's favorite game... Taboo?

We try to talk about Red Rocks again, but get off track with some Peter talk, some dating advice (very on brand), and camping in climbing areas. Huge shout out to CimbOn Maps, please go check them out.

We end the show off with an argument over what you should keep on your harness, and of course, Jared Leto keeps us on the edge of our seats, throughout, with an epic tale of how he almost died while climbing with Alex Honnold.

If you have questions for us about climbing, #vanlife, gear.... or what it's like to be pro climbers (we are not pro climbers), whatever, send us a message or email at [email protected]

***Stickers*** If you want some, just ask!

Follow us on Facebook or Instagram, subscribe, and tell your friends! We appreciate everyone who listens! (thanks Mom). Our hosts this week: Matt Sapiecha, Anna, Mike Penney (@mike_penney), and Mike Smythe (@m.smythe).

Previous Episode

Episode # 9 - 4 Mics and 2 Mikes

We're back! Well.... half of us are.

Steve and Alisha are still halfway around the world, climbing shirtless on some beach, probably missing us terribly. So, in the interim, we're still auditioning temporary replacements. So far, the only two people naive enough to say yes have been the Mikes.

This turned out to be a long silly conversation, so we're going to try to split it up into two episodes. On this first part, you'll learn about Mike Smythe and Mike Penney, two of Ontario's most... prolific bolters, sandbaggers, and all around fun guys. We talk about our experiences with buying things from gear stores, how to sell your used climbing shoes, and a segment of "Shit We've Seen at the Crag."

We're still doing a call out for questions, comments or emails that we want to start reading on the show! If you have questions for us about climbing, #vanlife, gear.... or what it's like to be pro climbers (we are not pro climbers), whatever, send us a message or email at [email protected]

Next Episode

Episode # 11 - Listener Mail Bag!

The gang is back together! Thanks to everyone for your kind words and e-mails. As per typical Bad Beta style, we will try to start recording episodes on a more regular schedule now that the four of us are in the same time zone again.

This weeks episode is a special "Mail Bag" show where we answer some of your questions and e-mails. There were a surprising amount of questions about trad climbing, which really surprised us (and made Matt happy). We get into a little heated debate about guides, clinics, courses, etc.

We talk about pancake eating contests, trad climbing, Anna's voice, and The OC.
