Bittersweet. It’s an interesting word. It’s used to refer to something that has both happy and sad aspects. It’s the perfect word to describe this episode. The sad part is that this is Mike’s last episode as a co-host of the MCP. He’s retiring. The happy part is that we have awesome plans for the future. Those plans include a new co-host (a seasoned mountain bike industry expert) and we plan to grow the podcast and increase focus on content related to mountain biking. Who’s the new co-host? Well, maybe we announce that in this episode. Or do we?
During this episode Mike & Josh get down to the straight and hard truth about why Mike is retiring. Is it because they had an epic falling out? Does Mike want to spend more time on his passion for S&M? Is Mike joining Mike Levy, who recently retired from Pink Bike to purportedly focus on alien conspiracies. Is Mike rolling up a stake and trying out a new career as a Power Slap athlete? I guess you’ll have to listen to find out.
In addition to the truth on Mike’s retirement. The two O.G. hosts recall their past episodes. The funny parts. The awful parts. The episodes they recorded that were so bad they’ll never be published. It’s a bit of a behind the scenes look into the MCP universe.
Thanks to Mike for his partnership. Sense of humor. And willingness to give this thing a try. We will miss you brother. And to our audience, don’t fret, we have great things to come.
