The Keegan Episode

Episode 149 - The Keegan Episode
 
What up party people. I mentioned this on the show but I gotta hand it to my boys Tyler and DJ for holding down the fort last week while the rest of us bums skipped town for other things. We were all a little nervous about how it would go because in the 3 years we’ve been doing this thing, I think that was the first time we’ve ever only had two of us on the air but hey, I gotta say, it went absolutely swimmingly. Speaking of swimmingly, if you came here this week expecting more of those seamless transitions and on-topic discussions without interruptions well you’re in for a rude awakening because with all five of us back in the studio you know this week was anything but. 
 
So if you find yourself mid episode with glazed over eyes and ears, just mosey your way over to one of our partner pages and indulge in some misery shopping to bring your spirits back to life. You’ve got all the options over at Bike Tires Direct (code “bonkbros” for 10% off - https://www.biketiresdirect.com/?utm_source=bonkbros&utm_medium=banner&utm_campaign=bonkbros2025).

You can even check out their latest product drop, the pocket compressor, although they only had a limited quantity available for domestic purchase so if you’re Stateside it may just be window drooling for you by now.
