Moped Outlaws

Comedian and writer Ryan Conner is one of twelve brothers, seven of them adopted. He rides with Marc and Greg through a family that kept making room, a napkin from Mitch Hedberg, years of writing those Ridiculousness titles, and why the best roasts never go for the wound.

Eric Robinson spent a quarter century in the FBI after beginning his adult life in Christian ministry. As a special agent, firearms instructor, and SWAT operator, he encountered people and circumstances that challenged his assumptions about faith, morality, justice, and human nature. In this conversation with Greg and Marc, Eric reflects on empathy without excusing wrongdoing, the possibility of redemption, the lessons of parenting and marriage, and why curiosity can be more useful than certainty. His forthcoming book draws together the unlikely paths of preacher and breacher—and the human questions that connect them.

Tyler Craig joins Moped Outlaws for a conversation about surfing, woodworking, touring with Pepper, entrepreneurship, and the process of building Makau Maker from the ground up.

Lindy James joins Greg and Marc for a conversation about Tantra, intimacy, embodiment, relationships, boundaries, consent, and learning to stay present with what we feel.

Together they explore menopause and partnership, masculine and feminine energy, emotional triggers, sexual conditioning, and the difference between feeling an impulse and acting on it. Lindy shares how listening to the body—and learning to hold discomfort without immediately trying to fix it—can open the door to greater awareness, connection, and aliveness.

JJ Smith has spent much of his life in San Francisco’s Tenderloin, a neighborhood he calls home. In this conversation, he talks with Greg and Marc about his own history, his family’s struggles with addiction, and the path that led him from surviving on the streets to helping people around him find treatment, work, food, shelter, and a way forward.

JJ’s approach is simple but demanding: show up, tell the truth, build trust, and don’t give up on someone just because they aren’t ready today. The conversation moves through addiction, recovery, homelessness, incarceration, economic opportunity, race, community, and the complicated question of what it means to help another person without judging them.

Elizabeth Mikotowicz returns to Moped Outlaws for a second ride to talk about No Justice, Just Us, incarceration, addiction, trauma, empathy and the long process of reclaiming personal agency. It's a difficult conversation about systems that can dehumanize people—and about the friendships, creativity, courage and persistence that can help a person find their way back.

Dick Wybrow returns to Moped Outlaws for a third conversation, this time with a new sci-fi adventure, The Facilite Con, and a life that has changed considerably since his last ride with Marc and Greg.

Dick talks about what stand-up comedy taught him about storytelling, producing his own audiobook, trusting readers, and why creative longevity often belongs to the people who simply refuse to quit. The conversation also turns toward his journey from agnosticism into Catholic faith, the impact that change has had on his marriage, gratitude, community, and the work that keeps calling even when the road gets difficult.
