Stilts and Spicy Peanut Butter with Kylee Wegner
In this episode we welcome our good friend Kylee, one of the most interesting human beings we know here in the city of Portland. Kylee regales us with stories of weird bar fights, his time as an acrobat and stilt walker, and his venture into running a company that makes home-roasted spicy peanut butter (and it's delicious, too).

Bikers Dice and Bars Character Jam #21: Conan 2d20 RPG
We're back for another Character Jam, yay! This time we're trying our hands at character creation in Modiphius's "Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed of" RPG for their house 2d20 system. As always, these characters are awesome and we'd love to see them actually get some table time.
Unfortunately right before the posting of this episode, Modiphius announced they were handing over the Conan license to a new company - one with no actual RPG design cred worth mentioning. This could be a sad day for Conan RPG fans, but let's wait and see what the future holds, I guess? Anyway that means now is the time to get your hands on the current hardcopies of the books, because no more will ever be produced.
Speaking of Conan, did you know that our crew hosts a private dedicated server for the Conan Exiles video game? If you want to join in, drop by our Discord and say hello!

Bike Battery Maintenance
After NPC's recent experience with replacing his moto's dead battery, we decided to do a talk on the importance of battery maintenance. Just Jacob takes the lead here, educating us on the different battery types, and the cautions you must take when dealing with them.

Customer Reviews
I charged up my iPad to write this
I have been a fan of this podcast since day one. I don’t live anywhere near Portland, but this show is still fun to listen to, and I look forward to every episode.
That said, the podcast doesn’t focus exclusively on Portland. The discuss a range of topics that revolve around bikes, gaming...and something I can’t really recall...rods?
Some of my favorite episodes are the Character Jams, where they pick a tabletop RPG with an interesting character creation system, and roll up characters for the game. I recommend the HOL episode for a glimpse into that madness.
A delightful Portland podcast
I’m not saying this podcast is a deeply profound look into the human condition on par with Hemingway or Kerouac, but I’m not saying it isn’t? Interesting topics, very funny and enjoyable. I am a big fan of the old Portland bar talk, it feels a bit like time travel to hear about favorite old haunts that I forgot existed.
