This show sucked!!!
Matthes, stop changing the damn subject when people are trying to talk about something. Quit interrupting them and let them finish whatever it is they're saying.
And for god sake, if you're going to name these after the races you're supposed to be discussing then why don't you try actually talking about the RACE!!!
Quit talking about stupid sh** like the tv coverage and what the guy's say in the booth. It takes away from the podcast and frankly most people don't give a sh** because they can't do nothing about it anyway, so let it go.
Talk about the riders more. Don't just say, "yeah RV was fast", then skip on 7th place guy and say one thing about him and move on. Tell us why RV was so fast or why this or that guy had a bad night. And again Matthes, don't interrupt others when they are tying to answer the questions you ask them. I know you have your little notes written down but if Jason or Weege have a story to tell that doesn't fit your little timleine then to damn bad, just let them say what they have to say.

Love the podcasts and show!!!
We need more Jimmy. Bring back Jimmy Albertson soon, or I'm going to maybe, possibly, but quite probably boycott at least one show of my choosing. Seriously.
I'm retiring, too. So, you guys are going to have to find another source for 33.33% of your reactionary talking points. Gotta curtail my time involvement following a sport I'm too old to participate in, anyway.
But... As I said, a certain someone will drop a surprise "video chat" 1/3rd to 1/2 the way through the season, saying his injury is too bad to continue. Suspiciously, the arbitrary date will correspond with a contractual obligation to a new gear manufacturer for a certain number of top ten finishes.
Regardless, I'll leave you three RX dweebuses with a real gem to write and argue about... This season's 450 series may actually be TOO GOOD. It is too much of a contrast to the norm, with all the chaos, all the strong contenders, the surprises like Millsaps (although I knew it was in him,) top riders fighting through injuries, top riders (Barcia/Canard) making silly mistakes, and the uncertainty about how things will play out. The difference from the usual 1-4 riders dominating the series is almost overwhelming, and it is sort of pushing a certain segment of fans away that need one well defined enemy to despise, or one clear hero to cheer for... There is too much parity, and too much chaos in the series. It is almost like every race holds the same questions as you would have at any series opener, because no one can possibly guess anything, except that RV may have a speed advantage.
Anyway, it is a bad year for SX odds makers. And the moral of this story is, be careful what you ask for, because it may not be as great as you imagined it would be. That is all, except Matthes better write a good article about Suzuki, and it better not have any cr*p in it, because they certainly don't need anymore sh!t to deal with.
