Gnar Couch Podcast 186: Red Bull Rampage Recap, Rob Masekela, Lesbian Flannel Twins?

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 even dive into exoskeletons for lazy people, the ever-important “who’s the strongest” competition between JP and Cheef, and why you should definitely do A1 steak shots at Wyoming bars.

Other highlights: Rob can’t pronounce anyone’s name (Salama Massacre is a judge now, right?), Chief and JP show off their lesbian flannel game, and we discover new levels of bathroom humor (“waffle stomp” aficionados, this one's for you). Perhaps we throw in some actual Rampage insight. LFG!
