The Capybara King on his love for Milk and Moms- Scotty "Scrappy" Klingonsmith- Ep. 14

May 31, 2025 · 37 min · Ep 14

This episode of Chasin’ Trail is unhinged in all the right ways. Teddy Tonelli welcomes Scott Klingonsmith—aka Scrappy Chollo—to talk about racing up mountains, surviving with a heart condition, and why capybaras might be the key to world peace.

We cover:

  • His upcoming showdown at the Sunapee Scramble on June 1st, 2025

  • Growing up fast (and running even faster) with a heart condition

  • How chollos, breastfeeding metaphors, and capybara diplomacy somehow all connect

  • What it’s like being the weirdest and toughest dude on Strava

This isn’t just another trail talk—it’s trail running meets chaos theory, spiritual rodents, and altitude-fueled nonsense.

If you like your mountain podcasts fast, funny, and slightly feral, you’re in the right place.

Subscribe, share, and send a capybara to Congress.
