   Portland Pt. 2: We Built Our Own Finish Line

   The last people across the finish line deserve the loudest cheers, and this episode proves why. Britt & Syd recap a chaotic, hilarious, deeply moving Portland Marathon weekend. It starts with no sleep, no food, and a sidewalk crash-out right before their first expo. It ends with them building a makeshift finish line for the final runners after the official one had been torn down. In this episode: The pre-expo meltdown: what happens when one of you processes out loud and the other processes in your head, and the honest talk that got them back on track Expo hustle: a “borrowed” empty table, glitter, temporary tattoos, and sneaky QR codes Race-morning chaos: a leaking CamelBak, impossible elevators, and Lime scooter vs. Lime bike Chasing Madison across the course to see her finish the half Meeting Nike coach Chris Bennett at mile 24 (and getting corrected on the math behind “Bottom 1%”) Staying past course close to give Paige and the last group of nine their medals and their moment As Coach Bennett says, “This is about running. This isn’t about running.” For runners, spectators, and anyone who believes the end of the race should be the loudest part. There’s more of us than there are of them. Want to support us?

   Why Running a Marathon Changes How You Handle Everything

   Mental toughness isn’t about being the fastest, the strongest, or endlessly motivated. It’s about how you respond when your body is tired, your confidence wavers, and your mind wants to quit. Britt and Syd explore what it really takes to build resilience—public humiliation to funny lessons of marathon training. They talk about attitude, accountability, and the difference between pushing through discomfort and pushing yourself too far. Along the way, an unexpected animal-medium experience and a Reiki massage bring plenty of humor and a reminder that hard conversations don’t have to be serious all the time. In this episode, they discuss: How attitude can change the way you face a challenge The difference between healthy perseverance and self-sabotage Why shame, comparison, and perfectionism make hard things harder How small habits and boundaries support long-term resilience The value of honest friends who help you keep going—and know when to tell you to stop Whether you’re working toward a running goal, coming back from burnout, or simply trying to handle life’s challenges with more confidence, this conversation offers honest perspective, practical encouragement, and a few unexpected laughs.

   Friends, Local 5ks, and National Tragedies

   Running faster, family chaos, and a few wildly unfiltered detours—Britt and Syd turn a chaotic week into one of their most entertaining episodes yet. Syd's weekend includes a surprise PR and a finish-line moment that might convince her she’s officially a runner girl again. Meanwhile, Britt brings the kind of home-life stories that make this show impossible to fake: friends in the house, a suspiciously inexpensive “useless” blanket, and a new level of comfort that comes from letting people into your everyday life. The Bottoms also get into the strangely perfect energy of lesbians showing up, fixing patios, finding dollies on the side of the road, and building a life that feels equal parts funny and functional. You’ll hear Syd break down the race-day strategy that helped her PR without trying, what it feels like to run with faster people, and why group runs can be equal parts intimidating and electric. Syd shares what it’s like to host people, how her house somehow became the most interesting place in the room, and why embracing your own quirks can make everyday life more fun.Then the conversation swerves into the bigger topics: 9/11 memories, Columbine, how tragedy shapes the way people remember the world, and why some moments from childhood never really leave you. It’s surprisingly thoughtful, deeply personal, and still somehow full of jokes about bottom-one-percent energy, hobby-having presidents, and the eternal quest for the perfect tank top. Perfect for runners, comedy podcast fans, and anyone who loves honest conversations that can jump from race times to difficult memories to the absurdity of being alive. If you want an episode that feels spontaneous, funny, and unexpectedly meaningful, this is it.
