After an amazing Cultra classic cold opening, Jimmy Mac, Ding Dong, and AFB try really hard to stay on topic, but end up talking way too much about trashy novels, L. Ron Hubbard, palm personal lubricants, and the showing of tattoos. We do spend time ruminating about the oldest 100K in the USA, The Jack Bristol Lake Waramaug 100K, and the amazing folks that shared the day. We also take some time with our Patreons, and post up an opportunity to become a #CultraPortaPodcastFamous Patreon

WTF? Are we finally making that ice cream flavor you always wanted? No, but we get the haps on Umstead 100 and Traprock 17K and 50K which are exciting runs. And we get the latest from Ellie Pell too, who allegedly has a good shot at making the US Olympic Barrel throwing team. And we get ready for our AS at Jack Bristol Lake Waramaug this weekend.
