The Gnar Couch Podcast

We tried to be professional, but it turns out we're all smooth brain idiots who will never get their shit together. That said, we had Peter Salido on with us and he was damned entertaining and fun. Definitely one of the coolest guys in professional mountain biking!

Welcome to the Gnar Couch Podshow, where the intros are confusing, the hosts are unqualified, and the only thing steeper than our local trails is the price of a Deer Valley cookie. In this episode, we prove once again that no one should be taking mountain bike life advice from people whose greatest accomplishment is surviving a group chat roast.

This week, the crew kicks off with the usual banter about whose life is falling apart t...

Welcome to Episode 200 of the Gnar Couch Podshow, where mountain bike culture and idiocy crash together like two bros going for the same gap without checking their speed. If you came here for hot tips on how to shred harder, don’t worry, you’ll probably leave dumber than when you clicked.

This week, our special guests are Dillon Butcher (alleged trail wizard, possible cult leader) and Cole Nichol (not Cole Trickle, but ...

Why aren't you as good as Tylor James? Because you didn't hit Crabapple Hits your first time at Whistler then move to Virgin and start hucking your meat of cliffs. It's okay. Most of us are pussies. He's not. Tylor is a 43 year old dad who started MTB about 4 years ago and he's hit some of the biggest features in Virgin, where he now lives with his wife and four kids. He's one of the nicest dudes and a big reason we've booked so ma...

Welcome to the Gnar Couch Podshow, the official headquarters of half-baked mountain bike wisdom, questionable life choices, and a healthy mix of potty humor. This week, we're stoked to have slopestyle legend and Rampage veteran Cam McCaul stopping by the virtual couch. On this episode, we get into: 

The glory days of freeride, the existential crisis of realizing you’re a Millennial, and why sending it in the Utah desert will...

Welcome to the Gnar Couch Podshow, where mountain biking meets middle school humor, and none of our intros ever go according to plan—thanks in advance, Rob. This week, we welcome the one and only April Zastrow to the show: former pro motocross racer, mountain biking content creator, surfer, and the kind of human we’d totally trust around our children, if we weren’t such bad influences ourselves.

We saddle up and r...

Welcome to the Gnar Couch Podshow, where mountain bikes, questionable humor, and barely functioning attention spans all pile onto a metaphorical homeless couch and roll down a metaphorical hill. This week, we’re joined by San Francisco legend and urban bike ninja Teddy Hayden, whose riding and viral videos have gotten him more attention from the Forest Service than Rob’s last attempt at a show intro (which, let’s ...

JP showed up late tonight, most likely after seeing Cheef deadlift so much last week. We had absolutely no plan tonight so we made a top five list of the dumbest types of people. We talked about bikes for a little bit before completely devolving into one of the most Gnar Couchish Hour 2s in a long time. Silly banter mostly, with .69% actual insight.

Check out our store for sick shirts. Got to our Patreon and give us money. We'...

Hot damn, welcome to episode 194 of the Gnar Couch Podshow, the only podcast where your IQ drops faster than a mountain biker with a whiskey throttle and daddy issues. No Jimmy tonight—he’s busy dealing with "morning sickness" or maybe he’s just constipated with his own bad takes. Meanwhile, Boston Rob is flexing a purple jersey like some kind of sexual lumberjack who lost a bet, and Cheef is singlehandedly keepin...

We disappeared for almost a month and somehow came back louder, dumber, and more confident than ever, which frankly shouldn’t be possible, but here we are. The show is back and firing on all cylinders, and if you disagree that’s fine, but you’re wrong. We’re joined by @trackstandmemes, who dug up our 2023 feud with Girls Whose Dads Should Have Pulled Out like an unsolved cold case,...

This is not a typical Gnar Couch episode. Tonight, the boys focused on Jaxson Riddle's real story and the challenges he’s faced early in life, many of which mirror struggles listeners have shared privately with the hosts over the years. After watching Buried Alive, the importance of hearing directly from him felt immediate. The conversation went deeper than riding, touching on mental health, personal setbacks, and the work of...

There's a reason everyone on the show rides TRP brakes and has long before we knew people who work there. They're powerful, they feel fantastic, and they'll lay down a great skid when needed—just like Boston Rob's "substantial a$$." We got the another long-haired blonde boy—TRP marketing guy Nate Silberman—to join up with Cheef this episode to talk about TRP, it's long history in biking, the company's future, and ...

We love Reece Wallace. Not so much because he rides bikes, but more because he pisses off large corporate entities by posting clips of himself in excavator bucket hot tubs. It's also pretty cool that he bought the wings from a plane in which the pilot was beheaded so he could use them at his homemade bike park. Another cool thing about Reece Wallace is that he worked hard to build his career as a freerider and content creator becau...

On today’s Gnar Couch Podshow, the boys somehow tricked freeride legend Tyler McCaul into a raw, questionably-legal look at big-mountain biking. Tyler opened up about the highs, the lows of Rampage. We got into what it’s really like behind the scenes of the Rampage broadcast.

He talked about dad life, athlete life, and attempting to keep a career alive while the bike industry plays musical chairs with bankruptcy filings...

On this week’s Gnar Couch Podshow, we went deeper than Sponch's mom with the one and only Braydon Bringhurst. The dude’s basically part philosopher, part bike Jedi, and part anti-gravity climbing machine. We talked about rebuilding your mind (and body) after you eat sh*t, launching the Hard MTB League, and somehow raising a family while still hucking your meat into heretofore unrecognized Moab transitions.

Braydon dropp...

We went full send with a freeride legend and another in the making this week with Cam Zink and surprise guest Chelsea Kimball on the show. Cam talked about what changes, if any, are needed at Rampage, launching world-record backflips, a decade of Rampage, and his motivation for starting businesses. He broke down the art of gambling your shoulder and your bank account in the name of passion. Chelsea gave us the lowdown on the headsp...

Welcome to the Gnar Couch Podshow, the only mountain bike podcast where Rampage crashes, poop jokes, and total confusion over basically everything all meet on one couch that’s definitely been peed on and probably worse. This week we try to understand Red Bull Rampage 2025: from Adolph Silva’s gnarly crash that left us all queasy, to the eternal debate over whether the scoring is dumb, or just really, really dumb. We eve...

This week on the Gnar Couch Podshow, we hang with rampage-riding legend CJ Ceilig. Okay, she's not legendary yet, but she will be after this podcast. She somehow makes a terrible sausage party pod team actually worth listening to. She's a Eurotah-bouncing, breakfast sandwich-dodging shredder who’s done it all. From bluffing her way through a bike-shop job (“Derailleur? Totally pasta.”) to leading teams at Five Ten...

Welcome to episode 184 of the Gnar Couch Podshow. We braved rare severe Utah thunderstorms, insane traffic, and stuffed our bikes in Corvettes this weekend to bring you Bienvenido Aguado, who shares everything from his front flip stories to how he manages to keep things fun when the pressure’s on.

As always, there’s some friendly roasting, plenty of self-deprecating humor, and a healthy dose of just figuring it out as w...
