Meet LA's Best New Cycling YouTuber (Andric Queen-Booker) - How to Drop Your Friends Ep. 5

[@michaelnewman4302]

"Until next time...this is where the catchphrase goes." I'm dyin'! Hey, guys. I paused 10 minutes in, watched Andric's whole YT channel, subscribed, then came back here. Great stuff.

[@ShreddyPendergrass]

my dawg!! kind words man. thanks again for having me Mitch 🫶🏾 You for sure inspired me to get out of my little shell and just give this YT thing a go! Cheers to more dirt together in 2025 🙌🏾

[@MitchBoyer]

Thanks for joining me on the pod! Looking forward to seeing what you make this year Glad you’re bringing your talents to KZbin. You’re gonna have to show me that clean line you did on El P too. I got demolished when I tried it a few weeks ago 😂

[@OhYeaIRemeber]

@ShreddyPendergrass glad to see you here. I stumbled upon your Chantry video a couple months ago, and appreciated your story telling style. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work.

[@somfierce]

Just found your channel through your last video. The editing and vibe is so good

[@bthomas2622]

Absolutely loving the new podcast Mitch, you've found a really nice missing niche in cycling podcast content

[@gilbucle]

Totally agree. Can't believe I stay locked in for an hour. 😮

[@DadaWatts]

I appreciate the authenticity of your conversations. As a dad and fellow roadie, this one was relatable. Keep up the awesome work brotha.

[@goodcompanycoffee]

Fantastic guest. Gonna check him out. I really like how you’re sharing stories introducing us to the other side of biking. The people.

[@williamErouse]

This dude is mad inspiring!!

[@SoCalCyclist310]

Loving all the episodes so far Mitch. Love the advice on managing family time with cycling. I’m also trying to find my balance still with my wife and work and cycling.

[@davebarrett2355]

For the century - I take a banana and some flapjacks for the 1st hour, then drink mix, gels & energy bars for the rest of the ride, but with a stop at a cafe around 60 miles in for lunch (with cake for the carbs, honest!). I always try and make sure there is somewhere I can stop at around 85 miles if I feel I am needing more. Oh and I did my 1st century on a hybrid! Anyway enjoying all the podcasts, peace from Scotland :)

[@StacyODell]

Every time someone from the UK describes taking "flapjacks" on a ride, I try to picture how well a fresh stack of pancakes would hold up in my jersey pockets, and whether I should include butter and syrup as well. :D

[@davebarrett2355]

@@StacyODell Heh, I didn't realise it was a UK thing :) We also have 'tablet' in Scotland which is a great ride food, but I had guessed no one would know what that was!

[@am7jeremy]

Recently binged his channel. Diggin this dudes vibes 🤙

[@dmv4554]

Love the pod. Please keep it to cycling. Lots of Covid babies on the pod. I feel like an oger since I’ve been riding since 2014

[@snoooozer]

Let's go Nuggets

[@andrewzach1921]

Nice chill podcast. Thanks for the video

[@MitchBoyer]

Thanks for always watching/listening dude! 🫡

[@masonthurman]

I just got a trainer and zwift for the first time last week and it's been super fun. I'm lucky to get on the bike once a week, but i rode 5 times this week. and it's perfect for when the air quality is bad, which it often is here in LA

[@ambertguez]

Loving the Pod, I live in South Florida and have been documenting some of my rides on my channel, but would love to join you all and experience LA cycling.

[@MitchBoyer]

Thanks man! LA cycling is worth the trip imo. Lemme know if you head over this way

[@willing2live]

Kudos to anyone who is doing as much riding as each of you have to do to be on a podcast like this/host a podcast/have a KZbin channel. I’m in the ever a beginner stage and I am just riding for pleasure and the contribution it gives to my fitness. I hope to get up to Griffith Observatory when the weather gets warmer, but it’ll most likely be on my a e-bike. Do either of you have opinions on E bikes?

[@MitchBoyer]

Thanks for listening! I've never tried an e-bike beyond the pedal assist city bikes... but I do remember how daunting riding up to the observatory was when I first started. It took me a couple of rides, each a little longer than the last, to get to the top. Take it at your own pace, and I think you'll be surprised at how far you get in the long run 🫡

[@Mackmirahmadi]

You absolutely will get shit for saying LA is cold lol. I rode 100km in 70kmh wind today and 4 degrees Celsius in Ireland 😂

[@MitchBoyer]

You're a stronger person than me 😂

[@Mackmirahmadi]

@ loving the pod format! Ireland is super underrated for riding!

[@MitchBoyer]

@ thanks! I work with a couple of people from Ireland and their stories make me want to visit one day. Ive been low key eyeing the UCI qualifying Fondo in Sligo as a potential trip

[@DinoRider90]

When’s the next ride !!! I live close to LA

[@BrianRPaterson]

I dunno why people complain. If the lights are on and the mics are live. I'm happy. Cheers

[@jazzfan7491]

Obviously, good guest for a podcast would be Kyleem.

[@U.s.e.r.3493]

Very interesting that one day a week for family is considered enough

[@MitchBoyer]

I think the point was to highlight one day dedicated solely to family without any cycling. Andric spends time with his family throughout the week, not just on Sundays.

[@ShreddyPendergrass]

Trust me, I’d have no family if I only gave them one day 😅

[@TheRealLemurMilk]

Still no new lighting? 👀

[@MitchBoyer]

Watch the cool down at the end of the episode 😉

[@TheRealLemurMilk]

@@MitchBoyer Looks great!

[@凸Bebo凸]

lol, it doesn't get down to 29 in Los Angeles winter riding. I've been getting blasted on the Marvin Braude by direct sea wind in the middle of the night for over 20 years I don't think it's ever gotten to the low 30s before. Bit of a stolen valor there.

[@MitchBoyer]

I used to ride when it in single digits in NYC and I’ve become so soft here that mid 40s feels the same 😂

[@dmv4554]

Don’t know why but la cyclists rub me the wrong way. As with most of LA I feel like they’re very into superficial aspect of it, the looks and instagram

[@MitchBoyer]

Come ride with us sometime! If for some reason you still don't like the crew, at least the routes are nice ✨

[@itstrbo]

Every region has those cyclists that are decked out in Rapha for a "chill ride" .... sadly, this sport just attracts those types of personalities

[@BadTanLines]

Cycling podcast but the first question is about basket ball. Ooooooffff.... 👎🏾👎🏾

[@MitchBoyer]

Eh, I don't mind, honestly, I was kind of excited to get that question. I like showing cyclists as a full person. From the outside it can look like every person in Lycra is the same. Andric and his friends are into basketball, so he got questions about basketball. Thanks for listening, hope you found something to enjoy in the other parts of the episode :)

[@dmv4554]

Have to agree with tanlines

[@SeanLewisMedia]

Damn you’re petty🤣
