Season 2 Episode 21 – What Does Success Look Like?
With 18 days to go (at the time of recording), Kevin and Pete talk about what success looks like for them. What has changed? Where do goals fit in? It’s a real discussion – who knew?
But have no fear because there is plenty of ridiculousness. Like, what is your go-to wedding drink? And fun with a CGM.
Plus, Kevin’s continued beef with the New York Times. And what are the guys listening to? You may not want to, but listen anyway!

Season 2 Episode 19 – Not Enough Poutine
The boys are back!
Kevin recaps a fantastic trip to Montreal. And casually mentions getting in a good 14-miler the week before. Things are looking good in Omaha.
Pete is still a wreck. The doubts are real, and he may not reach the start line. Is this more mental than physical? We’ll find out.
What are the guys listening to? #WTFNYT. And somehow, this nonsense takes a full hour. Good times!

Season 2 Episode 16 – Mercifully Short
Technical issues give you a reprieve from the endless inanity of Kevin and Pete. Within this short episode are a few gems, so not all is lost. The biggest thing to flesh out in the next episode is the lingering doubts about the upcoming races. Stay tuned!
No #WTFNYT or things they are listening to this week. You’re welcome.

Pete goes on a rant to start the show. When the guys finally settle in, Kevin recaps his racing and training. Pete talks about pacing his friend, Lloyd, at the Burning River 50-mile race.
Not much for #WTFNYT but some fun things they are listening to. Plus, the usual shenanigans in this tepid episode!
