Obstacle Dominator

Tyler Veerman makes his first appearance on the OD podcast right after his big breakout race in Utah at the series finale of the US Spartan National Series, where he took down some of the biggest names in the sport; Ryan Kempson, Ryan Kent, Ryan Roods, Robert Killian, Cody Moat etc.

Time to answer your questions, you fantastic listeners you!

After a month break Beni and Brakken are back, and with quite a different look. They cover some GREAT content as well as... -WHY such a long time with no episode (and how that's related to why Beni is now missing several teeth, including one of the front ones...)

This episode is one of the only two times that Yuri Force (the highest performing of the most underrated athletes in the sport) has been interviewed. With over 30 (probably 40) Savage Race 1st place wins, Brakken and Beni had to chat with the guy who runs at the top WHEREVER he shows up.

It's time to get to know Brakken! The OD hosts have been wanting to open up the range of topics discussed on the podcast and thought a great way to do that would be to interview and get to know Brakken as the person he is 1st and athlete second.

HEY. OD had Johnny on the books BEFORE Big Bear, there was just a scheduling conflict...but we got him now! Beni and Brakken chat with Johnny from a suprisingly audio-friendly car situation on top of a mountain. They chat about... -The deets on Johnny's HUGE break out win against an extremely stacked field at Spartan US Series race the Big Bear Beast last weekend...

One of the biggest names of the old-gaurd in OCR, over 30 podiums at BIG races (Spartan World Championships, Battlefrog Championships) and THE TMX Female World Champion (and runner up the following year,) Corinna Coffin is BACK with a 2nd place win at the 2nd stop of the Spartan Stadion series in DC at Nationals Park and an interview with Brakken and Beni.

The Stadium Series athletes know his name, but it's time to introduce the rest of the OCR community to Bo Muzikowski. From inner city Chicago to Ivy Leaguer to Spartan Stadium Series Champion, Bo has as unique of a backstory as you'll find in our sport: - how being home schooled prepared him for endurance sports... - his connection to Keanu Reeves... - overcoming training injuries...

Everyone knows the "old gaurd" (Lyndsey, Amelia, Rose etc,) so lets get to know one of the new girls who are coming in and consistenly nabbing podiums and top 5 places at top races, Leigh Ann Wasteney (pronounced waste-uh-knee): -Leigh's childhood being raised on a farm... -Her trifecta as a triple sport collegiate athlete...

Brakken and Beni decide to have a chat talking about some of the aftermath of the end of last episode where Beni brought up alot of instances of Isaiah Vidal cheating, as well as covering a wide range of topics such as: -How butt sex is alot like alcohol... -An official invite to Isaiah to come on the podcast to chat with B&B about the accusations leveled at him... -Why Beni is now trail running with a weapon on him... ...and much more!

Welcome to stat city. Watch how Jack bauer brings statistical backed facts to the realm of shit talking, showing who's hot and who's not in OCR...as well as some super controversial heated arguments.

Soon to have his huge breakthrough race (fingers crossed for Seattle Spartan tomorrow,) and runner up for the the co-host position behind Brakken, Kirk Dewindt comes on to chat about: -Beni's massage from an Asian lady that...well, we're still not sure if it was an "Asian massage." -Kirks 4:09 miles and track history..

Although Brakken and Beni skipped the train for an April fools joke, they took advantage of the March fever to bring you March Shoe Madness where they break down a bracket get the final answer on best OCR SHOE.

Brakken and Beni spend this episode chatting with Beni and Brakken about things that Brakken and Beni think about things.  -A rant from Brakken about people (mostly the pros) beginning and ending each race with a safe padding of social media proclaimed excuses... -Beni's struggle with caring TOO much about what other people think, yet learning that there can be a healthy level of that...

Spartan Pro Team athlete, Drop the Hammer, Man-bun extroadinaire Ryan Kent joins Beni and Brakken today in what was supposed to be a usual interview, but then turned into the real talk episode about..well, lots of stuff.!
