In S5Ep4 of the PRP, Adam chops it up with decades long run for fun enthusiast, flashy but low key drip queen, down right knee-slapping pun machine and recent Boston Marathon finishing Bandit Quinn Mizikar who has been preparing for the Risk it for the Biscuit 5K on May 4th, 2025. Sarah Krawczyk & Michelle Kay, serial PRP offenders, Bandit Racing Team icons and same-page poets return to the show to offer their take on the joy of running, the strength of friendship, and the healing power of honoring someone you love.

While Quinn takes the official guest seat, she shares the mic generously with Michelle and Sarah to help spotlight the upcoming third annual Risk it for the Biscuit 5K—a race founded in loving memory of Michelle’s late husband and Sarah’s longtime friend, Stephen Kay. Tap in to learn more about the Stephen Kay Foundation and hear how what started as a way to process grief has become a joyful & uplifting tradition—inviting runners from all over Michigan to celebrate Stephen’s legacy by doing what he loved most: living fully, running freely, and showing up for others with heart & humor.

The Bandit trio unpacks their collective Boston reflections, the power of staying calm at the starting line, and how letting go of pressure can unlock something truly special. From garden hauls and parenting wins to banana cravings, getting puked on, and the mystical powers of a going straight to Rick’s, this one is equal parts therapy session, hype squad and communal tribute.

Things get vulnerable when Michelle shares an update on her ongoing journey with grief and reflects on how organizing this event has helped her transform a part of Stephen’s memory from something sorrowful into something celebratory—a space filled with honor, laughter, mugs, joy, and just the right amount of race-day chaos.

What in the world is an OBERON LITE?! Nanner nubs?! Can you learn from anyone if you just let them teach you? Can you feel that Ferry magic?! Why is Sarah always channeling her inner Des?! Cedar point, Strava monsters & Boston cream pie oh my!!

This and so much more in a warm, therapeutic and deeply human episode of the PRP.
