This episode has high nonsense content and low orienteering relevance. The boys have an optimistic status update; Ralph has injured himself on purpose, Magnus with the sniffles and Tim limping around. We discuss all the polls that have been on Instagram. There is a song review, orienteers have been doing cross country and Park World Tour went to China. The quiz makes a return leading to perfectly predictable arguments. The dilemma is cold weather related, will fashion or practicality win?
-
Ralph and Tim face off for the last time this year at the World Cup Final. Will the sprint specialist manage to overtake the sandbagger in the overall standings? Magnus has been watching all the action from a Portuguese fish restaurant. Afterwards Ralph infiltrated the Swedish team for their WOC training camp. Has he learnt anything useful from the World’s Best National Team? Full leg cover or not; this is the dilemma that Tim poses to the boys, will shin pads be the answer, or is this going to the jury?

What does World Champs medalist Olli Ojanaho think of fish in rye bread? Olli survived EOC (barely) but his phone can’t handle the heat of this podcast. We grill Olli on injuries, camps, what it's like to be one of the best orienteers in the world. We also cover lions, sponge baths, stinky hotel corridors, Ralph’ new age and which one of the boys will miss WC in Finland. This week’s dilemma is a filthy one, you might wanna skip that.
-
Tim and Magnus battle against ‘The Great Hungarian Heatwave’ at the European Champs. Did they suffer more than Ralph is suffering in Oslo? EOC was full of excitement—we cover all the best moments, from stripping at the finish line to bold claims on social media, with some actual orienteering discussion in between. And of course, the boys get introduced to the absolute O-Pie. Ralph dosen’t even know what a wildfire expert is called and on top of that, he is having a hard time in this week’s dilemma.
-
What’s worse - hills or heatstroke? It is European Champs week! Even though it is an event that requires serious navigational skills, the boys have much bigger concerns after seeing the weather forecast. We get to know if Ralph is a permanent sprint specialist now, if Magnus succeeded in his quest of proving Denmark has hills and Tim addresses if he will melt in Hungary.
-
We have captured more planners! This time we bring you Frank Townley and Joe Hudd who were part of the planning team for the World Champs in Edinburgh. We cover how much work it takes, how the TV and tourists influence the courses, and if it has put them off planning for life.

We conclude the episode with the dilemma where orienteering fashion again battles against potential performance benefits
-
It’s finally time for World Champs! Have Ralph and Tim avoided further setbacks? Magnus has a challenge that could take all the media focus away from WOC. The summer internationals have started already with some exciting performances at the Junior World Champs, who might take Tim’s spot in the New Zealand team? Another dilemma is presented to the boys, are they ready to break the rules?

We have been looking through your social media bios. Do the boys rate your captions? This week’s dilemma debate is a good one but something you probably wanna avoid listening to while eating.
-
Ralph toed the line at the “new 10mila” as the only one of the boys. What happened to Magnus? How many men did Tim service? And could Tim provide Ralph with some TP and avoid the nattmagen even as a service man? We discuss some of the highlights from an eventful night such as could Bækkelaget beat Farum Tisvilde?
