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.

Antonio Tovar is a Field Experience Representative for HOKA and he joined Connecticut's #1 Running Instagram poster and coincidental HOKA super fan Runner Rob @Robsroadtoultra Amatruda, Phred and AFB as we tear a wide gaping hole in everything you ever thought about running shoes.  Tovar is a wealth of shoe knowledge and he is not afraid to talk shit either!  We answer all the technology questions, and ask the question "is Altra, HOKA's little bitch after introducing a non zero drop shoe?" We rage against the NIKE machine and ultimately trick Tovar into disclosing company secrets, which will be rebranded shortly into the JOKA ONE ONE DOOKIE (112), complete with BYRAM sole, short term memory foam, reach around technology, and the happy ending cushioning.

Coree Woltering is a professional trail runner, known for his ultra running Speedo, his Eco Challenge effort and many other things related to running including putting up the supported fastest known time (FKT) of 21 days, 13 hours, and 35 minutes on Wisconsin’s 1,147-mile Ice Age Trail in 2020. We talk about the expectations that others have occasionally put on Coree as an openly gay African American male. On his way to Maine (watch them gators), Coree met up with his friend Bessic (from the podcast) and they went for a run on Sleeping Giant. We also get a vivid insider’s view of what it’s like to race 800 meters on the track. Then we talk about everything else including the pressure of sponsorship, Western States WSER and the joy of sobriety. We also get a commitment for a revisit after he runs Cruel Jewel with Bessic. The magic 8 ball makes a dire prediction. Coree's Facebook @Merrell Cruel Jewel 100 Get your official Cultra Clothes and other Cultra TRP PodSwag at our store!
