  • World Cup Wins & World Class Mistakes
    Apr 25 2026

    This week on Shut Up and Ride, the gang is one man down as Ben swans off to rub shoulders (and apparently more) with Hollywood’s finest—but fear not, because Jenny and Simon more than pick up the slack.

    Jenny is in full storytelling mode, diving into the electric atmosphere of the World Cup and the emotional high of watching Becky Moody deliver a truly unforgettable performance. It’s goosebumps, tears, and top-tier sport… swiftly followed by one of the most hilariously awkward moments you’ll ever hear, involving none other than Lady A. Yes, it’s as cringey as it sounds—and then some.

    Meanwhile, Simon is deep in Badminton prep—and it’s all coming together. From training rides to final tweaks, he’s feeling focused, confident, and quietly excited as everything starts to click into place ahead of the big event.

    No Ben, no filter, and absolutely no holding back—just the way you like it.

  • Charles Owen: "The truth can be really boring!"
    Apr 11 2026

    The crew is back—and this time, they’re not holding anything back.

    In the latest episode of Shut Up and Ride, the full team reunites in the studio, joined by special guest Charles Owen, to dig into one of the biggest talking points in the industry right now: the recent factory closure that’s been surrounded by speculation, half-truths, and plenty of rumors.

    Together, they cut through the noise and get to the heart of what really happened. From insider perspectives to hard questions that others won’t ask, this episode goes beyond headlines to explore the real impact on workers, riders, and the future of the scene.

    Expect honest opinions, lots of hilarious moments, and the kind of unfiltered conversation you’ve come to expect.

    If you’ve heard the rumors—this is the episode you need to hear.

  • “Is it a Horse or Is it a Dolphin?”
    Mar 26 2026

    This week on Shut Up and Ride, Ben, Simon, and Jenny are all back in the saddle for an episode that goes everywhere

    We dive headfirst into the latest chaos in the horse world —the good, the bad, and the downright baffling. Jenny brings her weekly rant (and no, it’s NOT about corgis this time…). Beagles have entered the chat, and honestly, they’re not safe.

    Meanwhile, we somehow end up discussing the Manosphere (yes, really) and Louis Theroux—because why not mix horses with existential documentaries?

    Simon shares his latest ambitions of treading the boards and becoming a full-blown actor (watch this space…), while Ben updates us on his ongoing horse-related antics—which may or may not involve questionable decision-making.

    And of course, we take a nostalgic detour into our own ridiculous youth stories… some things are better left in the past, but we’re sharing them anyway

    Expect laughs, chaos, strong opinions, and absolutely no clear answers to the big question: is it a horse… or is it a dolphin?
