Balloons, the Giro, and boa constrictors

Sarah and Hannah spent a lot of time together this week, and they’re still cooling off from a hike-related argument. They catch up on some loose ends from last week (the PCT OnlyFans hiker, a high-profile lawsuit in the outdoor industry, and the deeply uncool nature of running), and do a deep dive on all the drama at the Giro de Italia. Then, they get up to speed with Lael Wilcox’s 'round the world challenge, contemplate the amount of saliva in ‘Love Island,’ and reveal the crowd-sourced answer to Hannah’s question about the mud at Unbound last week.This episode is sponsored by Thank Gravel It’s Friday and the Ride for Hope.   You can follow Lael’s ‘round the world record attempt here: https://www.laelwilcox.net/2026-around-the-world-faster Instagram: @talking.over.you
