[Assistant] What has been going on with Anderson? He'll be in third, then drop to fifth, then lower than that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, that, that, that was our Dunlop due diligence section. That's right. Right. That was, I appreciate you doing a little homework, um, getting down and dirty with the Dunlop due diligence and finding that little extra, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know like maybe you didn't answer Garrett's question at one. I mean, it's hard in situations like that and what everyone I'm sure they know and it's frustrating for us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of my favorite tires, Quick Little Dunlop, uh, uh, story before, uh, we go to the next question for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is uhm, when I was at Honda, we were using Dunlops.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My favorite tire was the 756 and I ran the front pack, uh, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, hard pack front tire all the time at the 756, it was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was my tire. It was consistent. It was more of an intermediate tire, but it was consistent. I liked how consistent it was like on the turns and the sidewalls of it where when Glover used to get so pissed at me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They worked so hard on, on tires and they're always trying to evolve the performance of the tire. And dude, I just couldn't get the consistency from, from the hard pack tire that they would let me test and he would be, he would always be so bummed. So we'd go to like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dallas or, or it didn't matter where it was, dude, any hard pack. And I'm like, put the seven 56 on like you're giving up traction. I'm like, yeah, but at least I know exactly what it's going to do and when it's going to do it. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep. All right, here we go. Ken, this is my last one, then you take the helm. Ken Harwell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has Hunter underperformed or is he where you thought he'd be at this point?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and then little bonus question. Aaron O'Keefe and the reason you get the bonus cause, uh, it's expanding on Hunter. Do you guys think Hunter Aaron O'Keefe 13?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you guys think Hunter will be in the title picture next season?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uuuh, uhm, this competitive, I would say, probably when, when you were in this, in the Championship Series RV, uhm, actually, you know what dude, I, I don't,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I say this and, and I mean this respectfully to your competitors, but I always think you had them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You had them covered deep down in the heart, uh, in their souls. You, you had them, you had them covered. So uhm, I'll go back to probably the last time I remember it being this gnarly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm sure I'm going to mess this up, but I would say, uh, that year that it came down to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, what was it, Tomac and Dunge going for it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Down to the wire. I would say, yeaah, like it hasn't been that tight since then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, yeaah, this is just unbelievable. Not knowing who the hell is gonna win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At Vegas between myself, Stu and Chad. So that's, that's what I have to say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, I mean, I think the guy right now is, uhm, I think the guy right now is Levi.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I think it'll be a great opportunity for RJ to maybe try to gain points, but I just like where Levi's at right now. He can't be denied.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we can argue his case all day long. Uhm, I think McAdoo is better than, uh, I think he's good for a win at that showdown. I really do. Uh, and then I think Danger Boy. I think you gotta keep your eyes on him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, his last race, uhm, even though he didn't get the result that he wanted, remember he didn't have the wrist brace on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His dad told me that was the first week leading up to that race that he had gotten to have a solid week of practice in. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I think those three guys, it's gonna be a battle royale. It really is. Uh, I cannot wait for that event. I think that hopefully Mother Nature is good for us, but I just think RV, as you know, I think, you know, controlling the emotions and from a championship perspective, especially if you're Levi,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, you wanna go out and prove a point, but you gotta rein in those emotions and you gotta think big picture. If the win isn't there, take the damn points. But those are the three guys that, uh, you need to be keeping an eye out for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uh, Charlton, uh, we pre, yeah, I, I think, I think he does. I think he's going to be a new guy. I'm coming out, coming out of the gate swinging right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, again, and the reason that I say that the last time he raced, he looked better. He had more time on the bike. He wasn't wearing his wrist brace. So clearly, you know, the injury that he started the season off is getting better for sure. And I think we are going to see a better Hayden Deegan or at least the Hayden Deegan that we expected from the get go, a hundred percent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, sometimes you, yeaah, we've talked about this on Title 24, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Marina, that you, you make your own luck. Bad luck to me is like when you're going through a rhythm section and then somehow you get some other dudes going the opposite way and like takes you out for no reason or, or what have you, or there's a bike, bike malfunction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I think a lot of it is mental. I think uhm, you know, the approach and maybe not being aware and race strategy. Uhm, so 9 out of 10 times I would say is right or error.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm a firm believer most of the time that you make your own luck. And you know, a lot of these things, it might be from what we don't see during the week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the lack of their preparation, maybe they're not doing what they need to be doing, uhm, or maybe they're doing too much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe they're not focusing on their motorcycle as much as they should. I mean, there's a litany of things of why, what they maybe could be doing better or what they're doing too much of. I'm not sure. We don't see a lot of the things, uh, away from the races.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, yeaah. I'd say 9 out of 10 times it's uhm, it's on you and it's not just plain old dumb luck. That's, that's true. Guess what dude? Hey! Guess what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You finally, you finally get to ask the quad lock question of the week. I, I, I don't have to ask it for you, so now I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great question, Linda, and congratulations for winning the quad lock question of the week. Slide into, uh, title 24 Instagram DM page. J.H. will con- put you in contact.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With Quadlock, and uh, they will send you some stuff. So when you get it, make sure you check it out. Thanks for Quadlock for being a partner of Tidal24. Check him out, Quadlock Case.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, they got great stuff. And, uh, look at, I got, again, I got, got my case on a little American flag, uh, magnet. That is a really good question and it's deep. Yeah. And I think, you know, some of us are fortunate enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To have great parents that didn't want to make it about them, I am one of those people. Uhm, so how it was for me, and I can only share my experience, is uhm, when I started earning like some bonus money,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From sponsors as an amateur for, for championships, uh, my parents, um, local bank here in town started my own account.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, all my earnings, even though they were spending money to get me places and get me the races, they would give me the bonus money. I didn't pay them back or anything like that. And they would put that money solely into, to my, my, uh, banking account. And, um, when I went from amateur to professional.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, same thing, as soon as I started drawing salary from PC.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All my, all my payments went into my, my accounts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and I was, I think I was 17 at the time. And so I, I was seeing everything go there to make sure, you know, like make sure everything was all, all copacetic and good. And that's how it normally was back in my day is you, you know, your parents would start your own account and then all your earnings and monies would go in through that or, and then shortly thereafter I, I formed an LLC.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To where I was running all my stuff through, through a company and through that, um, LLC for tax purposes and things like that. So that's most of the time, um, how it goes, RV. I don't know if that's how it was for you. Um, again, uh, you hear these horror stories of parents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kind of getting involved and scraping a little bit and fortunately for me, my parents never did that. Um, at the same time while I say that I was always making sure that my.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My shiz was going to where it needed to go and wasn't lying in anyone else's pockets. I love my parents. They would never do that to me. But at the end of the day, you have to be an advocate for yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's how it, that's how it goes, Linda, and that's how it went for me. I think that's how it should go for others. I do think, um, RV, and you tell me if I'm wrong, like maybe some of the management companies nowadays, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the management groups will, uh, will, will handle all the riders monies and stuff like that. Is that the case?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Zach, uh, you, you, guess what? You, we're, Quadlock is doubling up this week. They're giving, uh, they're giving, uh, away two, uh, things to two lucky winners. Zach Culp, um, he weighed in last week on the Barca jet incident. Uh, he believed that the, uh, the, it was a racing incident, but he also added


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had a crash, uh, Zach did in 2021. Unfortunately he, uh, was paralyzed and would love to see if quad lock can come up with something to hold on my phone to my chair. Thanks and love the show. Zach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I'm sorry to hear about your crash.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In your injury, uhm, I'm sure that, uhm, you sound like a very positive person and you're making the best of an unfortunate circumstance. Uhm, but we, uh, you're damn right that Quadlock will have something for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, 100%. Um, JH, uh, just will take care of you. Slide into the Title 24 DM page just like, uh, just like Linda's gonna do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we'll get you set up. I think that the best, I'll go out, I'll go out and say it, uhm, for Quadlock. They'll give you whatever you need. Go on that, go on their website and pick out whatever the hell you want and, uh, they will send you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever you want, obviously within reason, but, uh, whatever you think is best fit and they might have an idea for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They'll do it. So we appreciate your loyalty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and being a fan of title 24 and, uh, man, if you're ever around the races, we would love to meet you, uh, in person. Don't be shy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, to come up to us and introduce us to, uh, introduce yourself to us live and in the flesh. We'd love to shake your hand and take a picture with you, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There you go. Alright, so uhm, I'm next on deck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think the playoffs would be a good time for the AMA to trial one-way cons?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 100%, and to RV, uhm, you can do like, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Molds of your, your ear. And then they can like, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They can hollow out the mold to where you're not, basically, you're not plugging your ear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so it's just piping the noise in, right? The mold like is, is on the exterior part. It's in the inner part of your ear, but it doesn't clog your canal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So like people like you and I who don't like, uh, you know, impeding our, our hearing, uh, they, they make


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They make molds like that that, uh, are still open, open airways. Hey, real quick before we get to Vincent Valdez, uh, I want to go back to the quad lock question of the week RV about Linda.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Orlowski and her question and the finances when you go, uhm, when you go from professional or amateur to professional and a couple examples. Uh, J.H. appreciate this. Uh, Lawrence is a good modern example of, of how dads stay involved, uh, this day and age.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, I think they probably pay him a fee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So my, my mom did all of my administration work for me, like, um, booking all my flights and hotels and rental cars and just doing the accounts receivables and, and bookkeeping basically. She did that. I paid her a salary for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, that's what, you know, that was basically her, you know, her income. And then, uhm, and for my dad...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My dad stayed, continued working until the last three years of, uh, of my professional career. My dad had a nine to five job with an electrical contractor, uh, here in town. So, uh, I, I eventually hired my dad in 2005.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To work for me and like basically he went to semi retirement, so uhm, I hired him to work, you know, work for me and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Triple crown, if a rider can't race in the first race of the night, should there be a provisional rider?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, no, he, I think, I, I, I'm, I'm assuming that what Vincent is asking is if, because of how the qualification is, so say like all of a sudden, I'm guessing,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, you know, something happens between after qualifying practice and after the last chance qualifying practice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, uh, someone decides that they can't raise, who, who would get a provisional? Is that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, I feel like this is a year, I don't feel like we've ever had to scratch through the old rule book.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Last season like we did this year dude. Yeaah. What's up with that? Alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] rvulmer992, with some tracks becoming one line, do riders have to be more aggressive to make passes stick?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jump to the inside and made a move. You have to make, you have to be aggressive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Jesse Fleetwood. Okay. Why aren't good track layouts recycled? I like this question, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think what Jesse is asking would, do you think it would be cool if they did a carbon copy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of the track, if that track race good. Like I talked about St. Louis. I think that they should do that exact same layout.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Throw up that old quadlockcase.com logo up on there, Aaron. We're gonna go to the, uh, no, not quadlockcase. Boxo USA, if you haven't yet. Check them out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I keep getting, I'm so ticked because I have this little, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, super easy process to get a warranty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Product or return if you need it, probably won't because their stuff is so good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so that's a, Bradley, that, that's a, a couple things. Number one, the 450s. Uh, I feel like they're going so fast. The pitch of the jumps and the steeper the jumps are, the more they're gonna run out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I feel affected. I feel like the 450s, uh, chew up the track a lot more, uh, than they have in the past because of those reasons that I just mentioned. Uhm, I also feel depending on where we go, I feel like the dirt has been wetter in general, uh, when they construct the track. Okay, that's another reason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, compared to years ago, I mean, you go back again, pull up the old YouTubes and these, these tracks, some tracks were super hard and then some were over the top rudder than what these guys are racing today. Like there were times I remember RV like my first year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like Indy, for example, on practice day on Friday, we couldn't even, uh, we couldn't even jump the triples. Sometimes couldn't even double the triples because the faces were so ruddy. So you got that. Uh, the guys are doing a lot more laps. Myself personally, I feel like the guys get too much time on practice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I don't feel like they need to be out there three times. I feel like maybe they should have two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Longer practices, not three practices. And the reason that I say that, cause you can watch these guys. It just becomes a competition for who has the fastest lap and you are just asking for problems.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I think from a safety perspective, maybe they should consider getting rid of that warm up practice. Uh, for safety number one, I think that all these guys


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, 250 and 450, they figure the track out in, in, in three laps, four laps, five maximum. And so at that point they're going as fast as they can to get on top of the board because that's gonna determine their qualifying gate pick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I think to get rid of that, that'll cut back on the lapse. Maybe the track will hold up a bit more and it'll give more time for the, uhm, SMX track crew to get the track work done. That's one thing that I think you have to put in consideration and lime.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You guys can remember Limegate at San Diego, I believe it was, when it got mixed with the mud puddles and then blah blah blah, we'd go through all that, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, they aren't using, uh, that application anymore. And that's probably another reason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, uhm, I think that it would separate more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do, guys are gonna be better than others with technique, with no starting device, manipulating the clutch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I think you have two things. I think that, uh, the starting device definitely is an equalizer, uh, because it doesn't wheelie, they are gonna have more speed coming in. Uhm, I do think though these 450s are so fast, even once they do get set and depending on the length of the start,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe they're still going to be going fast. I don't think, uh, it'll make much of a difference on the longer start straights because they'll be, they accelerate from, you know, one foot to 20 foot boom like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do. I don't know how much it would change on the speeds though on the longer straights.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, for me, I would say, without a doubt, I was more sensitive to the rear end. Uhm, how I like my setting, completely unorthodox and not conventional to what, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Soft and just, if the thing isn't blowing the rear fender off, it's too stiff for me. If the thing is stiff, the throttle goes the opposite way. Again, uh, back then I wouldn't recommend my settings for anyone to try that setting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, but that was me, uhm, looking back on things, I wish I would have been a bit more open to, uh, trying a more traditional, uhm, setup. However,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I needed to do and run what made me comfortable to twist the damn throttle. So I was a rear end guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ooh, that's a tough one. You know, I think like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Jet's riding ability on the motorcycle is going to be something that changes. Uhm, I don't, sitting here thinking RV, I don't know what would be the next evolution.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, of someone like Jet. As I say that, then you take a guy like Hayden who comes out and uhm, is completely different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what, dude, what if, what if he comes in there and with all that aggression isn't as precise, uhm, as, as Jett?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But is willing to hang it out and just gets the job done. So does, does a pendulum swing that quick with uhm, you know, with, with what's the new thing or what's gonna change the sport or elevate the sport?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's hard. It's hard. It's hard to, it's hard to see that. I'm, I'm interested in to see how that's going to play out because you did see this wave of riders. Like they're, they're doing a lot of things or they're trying to do ride like jet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then I see how Hayden rides and he rides completely different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and, and it works for him. So if he comes out and he starts having a lot of success, does, does it go back to the way you and I raced?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I think this day and age and from what I can see from Yamaha is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, a lot of that stuff, I don't know how much that star is getting from actual Yamaha. I really don't. I mean, I know they have some intelligent people at that uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On that race team, working on those motorcycles, the results speak for themselves, they, it's, it's no secret how fast the, their bikes are, especially 250.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I don't know how much, like back in our day, how much support that say Yamaha is getting, or Yamaha is giving to Star or to, to club. I would say there's probably a tier that they, if, if, if they're get, say they're getting a million dollars worth of support.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe the, maybe that uh, star's getting $800,000 of that and $200,000 of that is going to club. I don't know. However, I want to uh, tip my hat to ClubMX and that FXR


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've done a really good job over there. They really have, and you can see that team getting better and better. Uh, they, they're really good, I feel, at getting guys that say maybe a seventh or eighth place guy and making them


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Getting too close to like podium contenders all the time. So they've done a great job over there. I respect what they have done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, a lot like what Star did, like they did a lot with a little. Uhm, in the early days, now they're the pinnacle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're the top team in the paddock for the most part.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you look at it, I feel like club has kind of done the same way. So that's the difference. They just, you know, they're just, they're probably getting less support from Yamaha, but enough to still be helpful. And it just comes down to people and sponsors and money and, you know, money by speed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, that's, that's what I, that's what I see and that's the difference. But they're doing a really good job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I, I think that uhm, I like, I, I think we should have a trade agreement or some, some type of situation. Because, okay, say you're, say you're the Yamaha factory guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm, I'm the triumph guy and you have a guy that I want, right? And, and, and I, and, and vice versa. So you're not going to do a deal with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That uhm, that you're not happy with, or I'm not gonna do a deal with you that I'm not happy with. So then the trade doesn't work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, so like I, I read some stuff about, oh, trades would never work, blah, blah, blah, outside sponsors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In some cases, the outside personal sponsors might, might affect it, but I don't think it would as much as, as much as what, what some may.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chalk it up to be, however, no one's gonna do a trade deal if they're not happy with it. So that's what I'm saying. We're agreeing to it. I'm like, alright, you're gonna, I'm gonna trade you this guy for this guy. And you're gonna be like, okay, what's the money? The money's this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Are you happy with this RV? Yep. RC. I'm good. All right. Boom. We're cool with this. All right, dude. You're headed to Yamaha and you're coming to triumph.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like it. I think that it would work out easier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] than what most would think. I really truly believe that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guarantee there's people in this sport, in this sport right now that, that, uh, team managers, team principals right now that are like, damn, I'd like to, I'd like to trade. I'd like to trade. I'd like to cut bait with the dude that I got right now and hedge my bets against this guy. Don't you think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also our co-producers saying, but our riders are independent contractors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like watching a lot of different, actually you know what dude? I've been, I like to, I like watching little clips that pop up on YouTube of like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you think sets the tracks apart from Jerryman McGrath era to yours, Ricky and RV to now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, how are they challenging this new generation of riders and bikes in ways that would have previously been impossible by comparison?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep. Uhm, Austin Justice. Do we need more indoor stadiums? 2024 Supercross is strange. Huge ruts at every track.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You, uh, you gotta read the next one to me, brother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dogging on my, uh, dogging on my broadcast team and, um, our director.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're everyone like, I mean, they don't, well, first of all, they don't always use the nose bleed, uh, camera angle. So let's get that out on the table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, there's perspective, uh, there's certain angles that we can only get from the higher cameras. There's a lot of intricacies that go on to a broadcast as you guys know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, they try to do the best that they can, given the circumstances and the availability in our assets that we have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, although it might seem like the overhead cameras happen a lot and like it's way up in the nosebleed, that's not actually the case. I mean, think about the drone shots that we had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do we wore out that drone in the last two weeks or the last two races? I would say, I think it's an epic, epic view, especially when they're following.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can really see, I think for the first time in a long time, it's given a really true perspective to what


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] R.V. the riders are going through and what they're trying to see going through the rhythm sands you get, you really get a good bird's eye view of how gnarly the ruts are and the speeds that they're going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We are, I think you're going to see a lot more of those, uh, where we can use drones. Not always can we use drones depending on what venues that we go to. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, cut our, cut our, uh, broadcast team some slack. They do a good job and they're not always in the nosebleed, but, uh, DC Freshness, I appreciate your, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your comment, and I will uhm, I know some of the people on that broadcast team watch our podcast, so they'll be listening and they will consider your thought, so thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two more questions. All right. Gordon 120 for RV.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would you recommend a top US rider to go over to the GPs like you did? That's a good question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Blake R. Austin, does Prado's 24MXGP season start make him the main championship contender for Jet Outdoors in 2025?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get, get, get to it, big dog. Let's show, uh, all these beautiful people what we got cracking on, uh, NBC this week. Supermodel Cross on NBC Thursday. As you guys know, always the SMX insider show with Weege and JT. That'll be on their YouTube.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So check that out again, Thursday, 2 PM Eastern time. And then, uh, this weekend in Foxboro, it's going to be great. Uh, 1 30 PM Eastern is a RDL qualifying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, that'll be live on Peacock and then the show starts, uh, 7 PM Eastern.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, on live on Peacock as well. It's gonna be a great one. Let's hope that the Mother Nature, uh, cooperates for us. So yeah, make sure you guys check out SMX Insider. They always have good stuff getting laid into the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We are, uh, on demand on Peacock, so you can go back and watch, uh, any other episodes that you haven't seen, and we're on all, uhm, audio, uhm, apps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Platform so whatever you listen to your uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Give us a, give us a shout. Give us a shout. We appreciate all of you guys. RV, that was, that was a lot of questions. We've had the, the drama has been so good this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the racing that there were so many questions that we had had off to the side that we needed to get to. So, uh, hopefully you guys enjoyed that. There were some really good, uh, really good questions and I feel like it gave us good stuff to talk about, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think it's, I think it's going great. Hey, we're gonna have more questions throughout the year. Fan questions, as I say, and uh, dude, our Instagram page has grown. We got over 20,000 followers now. Appreciate the comments, again, and engagement, and uh, that's it. That's it for this week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To bring this next gentleman on to title 24. Took it to the house this weekend, uh, in, in, in St. Louis. Let's bring him on. Our man, Levi Kitchen, Monster Energy, Pro Circuit, Kawasaki Rider. There he is. What's up guys?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Heck of a job, man. Like is it, is it feel like pretty surreal? Like what you did three in a row, right? Like you did Anaheim two, you won that one. And then the next race was Seattle for you guys, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dang it. I messed up. Sorry about that, dude. Crap. It all runs together. RV!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's your boy Pacific Northwest. I know you've been a massive fan and uh, you've been pulling for him. You've put him on the hot seat a couple times here. Uh, I'm sure you got some stuff for him, so go for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, I talk about it, I talk about it on the broadcast a lot because I don't even know if you remember telling us this at Media Days in December, but you said how much at that time


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How much you, uh, how much you liked the bike and the delivery of the power off of the start. And you said that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you, you talked about how well the bike corners and how it goes where you want it to go in the corners. And it was those two things that really rung out and I had written it down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and like everything that you're doing and the results that you're getting on the start is complimenting exactly, exactly what you said. And I wanted to ask you kind of like segue to this next thing with, with all the success and how dominant you've been, especially the last two weeks, dude, how much easier is it during the week? Like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're training or like when you go to the practice track, is it just like 10 times more enjoyable? Like tell us and the people listening to the podcast or watching like what, what that, what that process is like, like during the week, just in general compared to like when you're not winning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yea. Do you, do you prefer Supercross? Or like, what do you like, what do you like better, Supercross or Motocross?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were talking about the tracks and you know, what, what makes good racetracks and I like take the dirt out of the equation because St. Louis dirt is, is epic. We all know that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and, and you can attest to that, uh, from this weekend, but did you think that this weekend, how they put those little rollers on the insides?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That one after the triple after the mechanics and then you could go inside or outside before the finish and then that back and forth section and then that right hander before the regular, uh, triple. You could go out and go 3-3.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you, did you feel like this racetrack this weekend was good for, uh, multiple lines compared to what you've raced, uh, all year?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The red flag, or the red cross flag controversy, that second moto in the 450s. And you're watching, I'm sure you're watching, and, and, and it goes back to, we've talked about this, RV on the show, remember when, uh, when you had that red cross situation in Glendale, going back to Glendale and,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We haven't, I haven't talked to you about it, like uncertainty of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, and I know, listen dude, I know you can't get yourself in hot water with the AMA, you can't have them pissed at you because you might need a favor from them someday, but what, like in your, in your mind, cause you're racing, RV and I are just sitting here on the couch, giving our expertise, but what like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was, what would have been the difficult part of that, or what could they have done better in your mind? Like... Was it hard to see?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, look out, this guy's crashed, like go to the right here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, hey, hey, RV, I think it's kind of dangerous. It could be a hazard to have those mechanics out there on the racetrack. So you get radio comms, you get the mechanics way off the track. They'd be a lot safer, right? Where they could just radio to their rider. Levi, that was a two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right. Levi, that was a 50.5. Doing good, bud. That easy, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, do you, uhm, so we got, uh, you guys had the showdown in Nashville, then you have Den, so you guys have Denver and then Salt Lake, so three more, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you, uh, are any of those races, uh, is there one that you like more than the other? Like, or do you like them all?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, RV, you good? You got anything else for the good?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you got a, you got a couple weekends off. Good job, Levi. Thank you for, uh, thank you for coming on and joining RV here on title 24.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've done, you've done great, dude. It's cool to see, uh, like you and RV talked about, you know, all the, you have incredible bike skill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it's cool to see that and to, to finally, you know, get over that hump and, and perform to the level that we all know that you are able or capable of performing at. So, uh, it's been fun to watch your progression dude, especially, uh, with Mitch. Mitch is an iconic, uh, team owner and he's an icon of the sport. So, uh, it's cool to see dude. I'm pumped for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right. I appreciate the insight too with the red flags and the comms and all that stuff. And uh, dude, go enjoy your day off. You deserve it. Catch a big old bass. I'm going to do that too this afternoon and uh, I'll send you some pictures and uh, again, we appreciate you coming on and uh, we'll see you in Nashville big dog.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you know, people are gonna, people are hating on him big time, dude. Like, it's so gnarly as, uh, as I'm sure you've seen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but before we get on there, uh, Boober on board asks,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was Danger Boy's celebration in poor taste when he gained his lead by the misfortune of Forkner and Forkner still being attended to on track by the doc. Roll the sound on tape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again, people are gonna hate him for that comment, but he's, I, I can't say anything wrong about, I can't, I can't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yup, so, Boober on board, uh, great question. Uhm, listen, I, I think that his podium, in my opinion, I think his podium speech, uh, was, was okay. Uhm, like, some people, you know, a lot of people think he didn't have enough compassion, he wasn't being, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, and also too, I don't know that they're, that maybe they're not, maybe the people aren't considering of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you, have you thought maybe how, what was going through Hayden's mind? Dude, it's his first Supercross race that he's ever won, his first main event. That is something that you win, you, you know, you'll remember forever. It happens once. You remember your first Supercross win. I remember my first Supercross win. Nothing is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His specialist doing things like that for the first time, so he had that going on. Has anyone ever considered, and I know this was his strategy because I asked,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has anyone considered this? That maybe...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His strategy played out the exact way that he was hoping it would play out, like he knew that he needed to slow down a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And dude, like, so everything that he did,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was exactly how he played, it played itself out. Like he was gonna pressure him and see if Austin wanted, was gonna buckle. He did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Hayden did tell me he's bummed, he's bummed and disappointed that that happened to him. He was thinking like maybe that, uhm, Austin would wash the front end out or something like that. It would be that kind of slip up. But at the end of the day,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some notable, I think that uhm, uh, we haven't talked about him and he's had a rough go at it. Uh, Nick Romano, uhm, he got some good whole shots this weekend and I, I think after


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A guy like that getting some starts and running up front. I think that, I think we might see a little more of him because of that. I think those type of rides are good for riders like that who's been down and has come across some injuries, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and, and just to clarify too, you know, like Hayden, I mean, he said, he said it on the, he said, I hate that happened to Austin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably wishes he didn't, Austin didn't crash because I think he, I think he's a dog, dude. I think he wants to wear you down. That's my, my opinion on Hayden and I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, is anybody gonna be able to run Jett down? That's, that's, that's, uh, gonna be hard. I think it's gonna come down to somebody's gonna have to have a perfect weekend. And, and that means either Eli, Chase, AP, uhm, you know, yeah, we have not seen Jett been, been caught and passed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I'm waiting to see that point, but right now, uhm, he's the one coming through the pack with these bad starts. So, uh, we haven't seen it yet. Uh, even Kenny, we're looking at Kenny Anderson. All these guys have the potential to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To do that if Jet is, is on a little bit of an off weekend, but so far thus far we have not seen anybody be able to pass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna say, uhm, Kenny is, is capable of, of, of running that pace. I agree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Such a weird feeling not getting a main event win, but still winning the overall, but man, I'll take it. Hello everyone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of crazy things that go around, especially online and stuff, so it's, I'm sure Eli will say the same, it's always best to keep your head down, and uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, as much as you wanna sometimes knock somebody's ass out, you just gotta keep it all in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it looked like it got a little cross-rutted and then at the last second on that takeoff kind of got that kick and at the, for a quick second right here, it looks like he doesn't know what to do. He's trying to grab a gear and then he just slaps his head on the bars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, then right here, another mistake off into the tough blocks. Um, and then this is where we kind of saw, here's the rear angle of that jumping over to the left, just on a double catches the tough blocks falls over. But this is kind of where I look at it getting a little bit, um, a little bit, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sketch is when you pull on the track, he gets hit by two, two other riders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, not paying attention. Uhm, now this, like you said Ricky, is a hot topic. We're not, we're not part of the medical crew, neither is AMA. Uhm, it is based on the, the Alpinestars Mobile Medical Unit and, and their personnel to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But here's the thing, it's very, very, it's a, it's a, it's a hot topic there because what if he didn't hit his head and it was something else and they blackfrag him, right? So uhm, it is a fine line, uh, I think that's still,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't even know what to do in that scenario. I think he personally hit his head. I think I truly do. That's why he made


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I, like I said, I personally think that he, he hit his head and we're watching the replay over and over right now. Just spun off, got a little cross-rided spun, grabs a gear in the air, I don't know what that was gonna do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, because he was already in the air and the trajectory was what it was. Uhm, but yeaah, it's a touchy subject. Uhm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like nobody kind of wants to really touch it, right? So I, I don't even know what would be the right answer or right call on that other than to kind of leave him out there. I do think he was, you know, that could have been a lot worse pulling onto the track. Luckily he just got the front wheel clipped twice and fell back over. You know, it wasn't anything catastrophic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the questionable part for me. I mean, look, I'll retract my, my statement because he, he came on and, and spoke about it. He did the, uh, the, the concussion protocol that, uh, uhm, uh, the Alpinestars Mobile Medical Unit has, uhm, and they, and they cleared him. So I have to retract my statement there, but yes, I thought it looked a bit funny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I just thought there was too many mistakes after that, but like you said, the bike was maybe bent up a bit, and then when it is that ruddy, that sticky, that grabby, and the thing, the front end is tweaked that much, uh, it could, that could have been a part of it, but to your point of like, you gotta look when you come onto the track, uhm, you know, uh, that's- Regardless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes it was, it was good, got up to Mammoth, did some snowboarding for a couple days and then uh, jammed back home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No was good, yes, no was good. Uhm, got good weather, so got lucky for two days. You know, the wind can, the wind can blow majorly up there, so uhm, we had some solid, had two solid days of board.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I mean, look, yeaah, I got to watch Race Day live.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought the track was tough. I thought it was, it was, the track was, was a good raceable track also.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right now, these boys have to, I mean, look at Jett. He's got a 21 point lead right now. Road Phenomenal went 1-1-1. Uhm, you know, so he's got those guys on the ropes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna say that right now. And then, uh, you know, as for the lights class, it was cool to see Cameron McAdoo get, uh, get the overall win. But man, we only have, uh, like a two point gap in, in, in the 250 class. So that thing's anybody's game at this point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I think we're gonna come back, we're going to Seattle this weekend, as we know, it's my hometown, uh, and it's, uh, Open Stadium, uh, in the Northwest, uh, it's green for a reason, people, so, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I got my fingers crossed, um, but, uh, you know, we know what we can face up there. So it's going to be another probably wrench thrown in the program, which could, uh, we could see a lot of change up, which could be interesting to see in both these classes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At staying up on, on stuff, uh, areas of the track that were really, um, deteriorating very quickly. But ultimately I don't care where they stick the, the, um.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Triple Crown because every one of these riders have to ride the same, same, uh, condition, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like sticking it in a place like Indy, like that, as we know that the dirt can be soft. They bring it in the stadium. The stadium is about 80 degrees. If it is frozen, it starts to melt, you know, so it is a very technical track. So, and that's what we need. These guys are...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, as the track deteriorates, yes, they become jumpers. Uh, when the ruts get too deep, the, the, the ruts grab the sides of the tires and it's just not really faster or it may be way too much risk involved to blitz. So I liked having either roll the wall and then get, get your combination right or like what Jet was doing, jumping in. I thought that gave, uhm, some really good options and also being that once you went to the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you watch Jed a few of those times, he was able to stay very left and actually miss that last little whoop and then come up the inside of the, uh, of the rut completely out of the rut. So I liked that. It gave options. Uhm, so I thought it was a good, I thought it was a good, if you're going to have nine whoops, I thought it was a good way to build them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He did. Kenny was riding very well. Jett, just nobody could touch Jett this weekend. Technical track. He put himself in good, good starting positions. You know, all three, all three motos and stayed out of trouble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but, but, but Kenny, man, uh, Kenny, Kenny put some pressure on him. And so did chase. Um, you know, I know that the triple crown, so some of the races, you know, were ended up differently where chase was maybe a little bit farther back, but there was, I think it was a race three where chase was kind of putting some pressure onto the boys. And, and, uh, but nonetheless, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, Kenny's, Kenny's, in my, my opinion, Kenny's in his position to go out and win races. He's, yes, Kenny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Technically, mathematically, he's in this championship fight, but, uh, I think for his team, for himself, he just keeps riding as well as he can ride and get as many race wins as he can. Uhm, but, and then back to Jet, you know, he just really gotta stay consistent. I mean, it's his, it's his race to lose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, Koop with 21. So, uhm, if anybody had, uh, I think a struggling night, uhm, at least from a, from a point standpoint, uhm, and also Koop, uh, uh, obviously landed on, uhm, you know, kind of blew off the side of the track, landed on that kawaii, I forget the guy's name, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yea, ended up, it was just a tough race for him, so now he's 21 points out, so uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I said, Jet has these guys, these boys on the ropes and they got to figure out how to do something. But like I said, we're going to Seattle this weekend. Anything can happen. It's open stadium.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're going to Seattle right and coming up this weekend. And as we know any mud races, anything can happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, that's exactly what somebody like in Koop's position needs, that sit in 21 points behind. Yes, he could go out and win the rest of the races, uhm, and it might come down pretty close to, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, being really a really close points race, but I don't, you know, you don't really want to have to put yourself in the back yourself into that, that corner and be in that position of like, dude, I have to win out from right now all the way into the end of the season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a tough position to be in, because with this field, as stacked as it is, uhm, you know, that's asking, that's asking for a lot. So yes, he's gonna need a little bit of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A favor or a bad weekend from Jet, like coming up to Seattle here that could be muddy and as everybody knows, goggles, bike issues, uh, first turn crashes, just anything can happen. It just opens up the.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Opens it up for a bunch of things to make a difference.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The cream always rises to the top and when it, and the last person that stands on the podium out there at Vegas is gonna be the champ, right? So uhm, they're gonna see all different conditions like we have this year already. We, this has probably been, uhm, one of the, one of the years that we've seen multiple mud races right away as openers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I kinda look at it as also, number one, everybody from KTM to Chase and his team, it's kinda like a rebuilding year, right? Like you leave factory Honda that you've been there for a handful of years and now you're switching over to a brand new team, brand new bike, and it's actually a completely different platform.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, from a steel frame or coming from an aluminum frame going to a steel frame. So, I mean, I don't know what he was expecting to just jump on a brand new motorcycle and you know, sometimes, I mean, I guess you hope for the best and you're going to, you think you're making the best decision to, to, to improve yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But there's a lot of learning curves. You got to learn all the team. The team's got to learn you and also racing. You can't, you can't replicate anything he's seen on the weekends during the week. So, um, that being said, he had a chance to, to ride, um, I'm assuming multiple bikes. That's what I'm saying, dude. Ricky, star Yamaha.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like you said, he did ride, he did ride the, you know, multiple bikes. He obviously made that decision based on the bike being pretty damn good and then maybe his surroundings of the team, having Roger, having Ian, having these guys that are past that have won multiple championships with yourself and multiple riders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you gotta think everything's coming together for the better. Uh, but I also, look, like I said, it's kind of a rebuilding year, right? Like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, yes, should he be up front? Should he be winning races? I think he should be. Uhm, but I also don't know what he expected to, you know, just leave Honda and then go to KTM and expect to be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right back in the mix. I think he's in the mix. I think he's doing a great, a phenomenal job. Has he rode his, to his potential this year? No, I don't think so. Uhm, and I also think that, like, like Will asked him, is it the bike or is it the mental side? I think part of that's the mental side too. Him trying to, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Almost talk himself into that this bike is capable of doing it. I know it's capable of winning races. We've seen it already. Coupe's won championships on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] AP's won, uh, you know, a race this year on it. I think they're making good strides. Ultimately, I do think it comes down to Chase just needing to be quicker and ride better and put himself in better positions. Because I know the bike's capable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or what was the ultimate, what was his ultimate lead, what was his ultimate decision by, to pick KTM over the star racing? Was it money? Was it value? Was it the team that surrounded him? Uhm, was it a smaller team versus having as many riders that star has?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, we don't obviously know any of that, but look, he sowed, he, uh, he sowed his seed and that's where he ended up. He picked that so he needs to ride it and he needs to win on it. That's, that's kind of the way I look at it. You know, the bike's capable. Yes, is it, are they struggling with things? Probably, but there's a lot of dudes struggling with things out there and that's,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where you can see the difference between a champion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and somebody that is maybe race winners.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and doesn't knock down multiple championships and multiple races.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wins in a year is, is figuring out how to make yourself better and if not relying on the strengths where that KTM is good back to like Kawasaki. My Kawasaki was really good in a few spots and it struggled in other spots and I had to be the same as Dunge in those other spots where I struggled, but quicker in the other spots where the bike was good. Um, and that's what you need. That's what you have to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I don't know, we'll see. I think that uhm, I do think he's in a good position. I don't think he needs to be, yeaah, be hard on yourself to improve, but uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, do I think it levels the playing field behind the gate? Yes, I do. Um, ultimately it's reaction time. Um, I had mentioned last year that, you know, some of these hard pack races, not necessarily indie, but if you get to Phoenix and you get to some of these places that might only have four to five good


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gate pit gate gates outside the gate, meaning once the gate falls forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, to get a good gait. So, uh, but ultimately I hear what Koop's saying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. I, I, yeah, I, I, you know, he, this question was, is the greats a problem? Hey, it is what it is. MXGP has greats, uhm, Supercross has greats.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, but right now I think that Kenny right now seems to be the only one that has the speed to be able to run with, uh, Jet, uhm, at least for, for a handful of laps, right? Jet was able to open it up on Ken.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, towards the end of these laps, but uh, but no, Kenny is a phenomenal rider. He's got the sprint speed right out of the gate that he needs to have to stay, to stay with somebody like Jet. Uhm, you know, I, I, to me it looked like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, right here as we're watching the replay, Jett going up, running, running, uhm, Kenny a little high. That last main event kind of looked like he just, uh, got a little flustered. He had some good laps coming in and then he, he got some heat, Jett passed him and there was some heat behind him. So it kind of compounded it. And that's where Kenny needs to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To, to try to improve is to, is to stick with Jett.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For that 12 minute moto, he needs to pressure Jett the whole time and pressure him into a mistake because I don't think Kenny has all out speed to just be like, Hey, I'm faster tonight and I'm going to pull a whole shot and I'm going to win. Um, you're going to have to pressure somebody like Jett into a mistake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you know, I thought they rode, I thought the guys rode, uhm, good. It's tough, those triple crowns, they throw a major wrench in the program, three gate drops, that's like the biggest thing, you know, I never had a chance to race, uhm, other than Monster Cup, which three gate drops.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, yep, and, and it's, it's tough. I, you know, and that's a, that's, that was a tough race in general just cause of, because of the three gate drops and being on for three,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, so, but I never raced it in a championship form. In championship weekend where it's like, hey, you have three gate drops, every point counts. This was a one-off race, right? So, uhm, I think AP, AP rode well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Anderson showed some fire along with, um, you know, Tomac was, was okay. You know, I think he, um, he, look, I don't know. I don't want to talk about it. Let's talk about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, I'm gonna, I'm gonna go out on a limb and chalk it up as, you know, just that, you know, time on the couch, a major injury like that, three kids at home, uhm, maybe his, he's just not as sharp as he used to be. Not that he won't find a good track in his next seven races and pull off a win, uhm, but he is out of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mathematically, essentially like out of the championship, something major could happen, but ultimately for him, he's got to be looking for race wins. And if not, look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could, you guys would complain and complain if he would have just, if he would have just wrapped it up after his Achilles tendon. It's like, oh, oh, he should have came back. He should have gave it one more try. We would have been talking about that. Now it's like, oh, he's washed up. He's over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, a mentality difference between maybe somebody like Cooper and Kenny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where are, uh, uh, sorry, Eli, um, Eli and Kenny is, you know, coming off of being so dominant and having so many race wins and also championships.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, it is hard to swallow maybe being in this position. So no, I don't think that, that Eli will continue riding what, you know, call it riding around where he's at and getting these, these finishes. I think that, uh, unless like you said, he sits back afterwards and says, Hey, I want to have a normal off season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Without an injury, come back swinging, then that's one thing. But, uh, you know, I think that, that everybody needs to give the guy a little bit of slack and hey, if this isn't class of raw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then you better, uh, you better soak it up because you're not going to see him out there anymore here soon if, if he decides that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I mean, it's definitely tough, you know, having a, hitting a lapper like that, uhm, you know, like it wasn't, you know, Kay just got cross-rutted and then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Coop, you know, even Coop, you know, those guys were trying to, you know, double, triple through there, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the ruts were gnarly, but look, yeaah, you have to be able, look, you have to be able, as a championship guy, you have to be able to write off that first race and come out and, uh, and, uh, and have two solid finishes in the, in those last two, two, two motos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it didn't seem to happen, so yes, in championship form, as in how Coop stands, how he carries himself, yeaah, I think he needed to bounce back quicker. Uhm, I know the crack was super tough that night, we heard it all day through race day live, all day through the main events, uhm, or all night through the main events of how tough it was, but, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, go on to next weekend. I mean, look, he's sitting, um, you know, he's sitting, you know, 21 points down. Um, yeah, it's a tough spot to be in. You know, it's, uh, look, you go back to the truck or you go back during the week and say, Hey, I gotta win as many races as I can on the way out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, and if I win the championship, great. If not, I solidified myself with hopefully either the most race wins or second most race wins. We have Jett with the five, five overalls this year, um, substantially more than anybody else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, look, yes, he did do a great podium interview there. Uhm, I will have to say that, you know, going off of past seasons, uhm, past races watching Cameron, uh, you know, very inconsistent, you know, and also had some major, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, he has some, he's taken some major diggers, uhm, probably some of the hardest, uhm, out of the, out of the riders on the line. So to see him with the consistency this year, I think that's the huge improvement. Cam's always had good speed, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But always ends up on the ground or making a dumb mistake. So what I like to see from him this year and what we're seeing right now is consistent. Like you said, nothing worse than a second. Just got his first overall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, triple crown win last night at Indy. So that was, that was really good to see. That's what you need to do in this lights class is to also win races, but mainly the big thing is be consistent because we, as we see, we know these, these younger guys are this, the 250 class.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, race wins, we see it happen often, but it's the consistency side of things that, that, uh, we don't see from this class. And, uh, that's what I think I've, that, that, that's what I am chalking up, uh, to put Cam in the position that he's in right now is, is the consistency.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, yeaah, and I, look, I think you did a great interview. Uhm, I like something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, you know, he's gone through some very highs and some very, very low lows. So, um, I think to, to have that perspective that he has to the question is you have to, you have to feel the highs and you have to feel the ultimate lows. And I think if anybody's felt those ultimate lows, it's probably Cam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep. Yeah. And the other thing, like, you know, maybe that I know, I know they made some improvements with the, with the engines over there. Um, and maybe it's made from last year, from last year and years past.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And maybe that's something where he's, now that that machine is equal or a lot closer, he doesn't have to maybe override the motorcycle in certain parts of the track where he feels more comfortable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's getting the triples out of the turns a little bit easier. So his program's obviously working. Obviously we both worked with Mitch for many, many, many, many years and we know how hard that team works. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is definitely going to make a difference. To your point, I thought he looked better. He just looked like he had a little more, um, he had a little more speed. He had a little more, um, sprint, you know, he was more active. Uh, I thought he rode, he rode well and like his podium interview. Yeah. Going back to last weekend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, despite the first turn debacle that, uh, that we, that we talked about, yes, going over and making those stupid mistakes and going over and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's young, he's in a position that, um, none of you other keyboard warriors have ever been in. So to be able to speak on it, uhm, I think myself and you Ricky are probably the best to be able to speak on that is there's a, there's a lot of things coming at you at a very high rate of speed and, uh, at 18, you're not going to catch them all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're gonna get smack dab right in the face. And that's what happened and that's what, that's kinda what's, what has been happening a couple weeks prior to this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, and it's kind of been compounding. So to go to, to, to go to Indy to stay out of trouble, yes, he still ended up in a first turn, um, mishap, which was ultimately all him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, just caught that inside tough block with the foot peg, maybe got on the front brakes a little hard and the rear tire just came off the ground and it starts to catch that tough block. Uhm, and he went down and caused the first turn pilot but nonetheless, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was able to get back up and fire it up and ride, you know, a phenomenal race or a good, good race, a good salvageable race right there. Tire comes off the ground right there. See how it's not in line with the front.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then boom, catches that tough block. I've been in that same scenario. You get on the front brakes a little too hard and that rear tire just comes a couple inches off the ground and it starts to come in one direction or the other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I grabbed that tough block, so uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then yep, right there. And then it grabs a hold of that tough block. And we're talking like millimeters, maybe an inch too, you know, like we ride. That's one thing. And it's, um, it's a catch 22 and every member on your team will, will tell you or your trainers or anybody involved with, with your group.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, stay away from those tough blocks. But here's the deal, when you ride a track like Indie, uhm, a lot of times those are, uhm, you gotta run, you gotta ride as close to the tough blocks as you can. You gotta maximize the track, the track's only so wide and it gets so beat up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but there in the first turn, obviously just a pure mistake. Track wasn't ready there, nothing more than grabbing the front brake a little too hard and then it got tangled up in that tough block.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the other thing is that wasn't a standard tough block. That wasn't a standard, like, I don't know what the actual lengths of them are, but I know we have more hay bale style length tough blocks that are, call it three feet by whatever they are. That was a long one. That was like a double or triple, like the long ones they use on the start straights for the fans that don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the difference, but when you grab those big ones, those tough blocks, yes, are they soft? They are, but they are actually very heavy. So when you and they're soft, so when your bike touches it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's to your point, Ricky, right there to, like, it's a fine line and, uh, and somebody in, in, in that position at that age, um, number one is if you put a, if you try to just rein him in completely, you're probably going to get, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His, his winning ability or his, his passion, how bad he wants to win. So it's, you're navigating all these different angles from a kid, like, you know, in that position with


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, he's got star racing all behind him. He's got people talking to him every time he comes in. It's like, do this, don't do this, do it like this, do it like that. And then he's got his mom and dad also. So there's a lot of things coming at that kid. So yes, did he make mistakes in the past? Yeah, a hundred percent, but he's going to hopefully learn from him. If not, uh, it'll bite him in the, it'll bite him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's kind of a, being that you had that hard 180 at the end here, you can see how he starts to kind of skip and hop a couple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, and maybe when he landed, it was, it was, it was, he was trying to, it's that transition point of kind of getting off the gas, but trying to start to slow your momentum down so you can, so you can get into the inside rut there. And, uh, maybe he wasn't anticipating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I do think that you got Hayden behind him there going triple, triple, triple. So yeaah, just a bad decision, you know, on, on uhm, trying to blitz him maybe too long. Uhm, give the kid another year and, and more experience in, in, in whoops like this. Uhm, probably wouldn't see that happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, yeah, he's sitting right now with only, he's only two points out of the lead. So, uh, I'm stoked to see how, uh, how, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, consistent he has been. I know he's got a season under his belt last year. Look, and that, and that was a true rookie season. Lots of mistakes. We saw some, some fairly decent size crashes from him. Um, learning Supercross, learning how our program works over here. And you definitely see a big improvement from, from that last year and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As I said, we're only two points, he's only two points out of the lead, so uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, that's a, that's an interesting position to be in for Tom, uhm, and Cameron. Cameron, uh, not, uh, never won a championship before, never felt that championship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, pressure down to the maybe the last round and then you have vice versa somebody that's new to super cross but is a two time world champ. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but that has been in the red plate holder, but had made mistakes and lost it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna have to go and say I'd be more concerned with uh, Tom Vial and the only reason why.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the only reason why I say that is because he's been in this position before for two world championships and he's been able to hang onto it and, and close it out and be, uhm, a world champ twice. So uhm, if you just go off of those, that right there, you have to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to, gam hasn't been in that position and we know how hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I'm good with that. Like that's who I believe if it wasn't, even if somebody asked me that and called me and said, Hey, who you picking? Uh, it's this or this. I'd be like, okay, well I'd look at stats. I'd kind of look at the records. I'd look at what they have done and what they haven't done. And, and, uh, also previous seasons with pressure and, and, and, and things like that. And you got to chalk it up to Tom has been in this position more times than Cam has.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, a lot, a fair amount more laps on that motorcycle track than, than, than we would see on a typical night. So uhm, look to, to looking, to answering that question is, is, is, I mean literally you gotta have,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Loot use a lot of these ruts and these turns that get super deep and, or ruts on faces of jumps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'll find that you'll start, let's see, we'll start way left on the takeoff of the triple and pretty soon that's the preferred line and then you start moving to the middle and then you start moving all the way to the right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Potentially depending on kind of the dirt style is sometimes those ruts will cave in on each other or those ruts will get filled back in with roost and things like that. Uhm, and you have to be willing to also move your lines. I know a lot of these guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stuck in, like, oh, this is the only good line on the track. I feel safe jumping the jump like this. Meanwhile, it's three tenths slower in that rhythm section than if you would have just moved to the right or to the middle or tried something different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can only go back on past experiences where I would, I would kind of try a lot of different lines on the track and then I could go back to Dunge and I could find him in the same spot every time. Uhm, ride me in right here, ride in this line consistently and consistently fast, but uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So yeaah, you gotta be aware of everything that's how the track's breaking down and changing up your lines too. And almost x-ray vision. I know it's really hard to think like that or to even believe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're able to move around on the track like that and you, and you have to, you gotta, you gotta move around to, to, to, to stay relevant. If not, just keep running that same line. Well, what if there's 10 other guys running that same line and that thing's blown out in three laps? So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was, it's not like jumping whoops. My bike was not set up for jumping them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I just struggled jumping them. So I would, I at all costs would blitz them. Uhm, unless I just had to start jumping them. And that, but everywhere else on the track, I was very open. I was very free. I was able to go inside, outside, the middle. Uhm, I felt comfortable everywhere else. But that was one thing for me is in the whoops.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they got to where they were really, really chewed up, it was, I was a little bit slower in the whoops than I should have been because I wasn't accustomed to jumping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but if you don't exercise that option in practice, uhm, maybe practice three, uh, when the whoops are able to be jumped and they're, they're more tore up, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, for some reason, like, that's like watching Jet or...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thinking of myself was is I would blitz all the way through practice and I would manage it and I would do it. And then all of a sudden you'd come to the main event and you're like, Oh, now I have to jump them. And it's, it's, it's not as comfortable. I don't. And then you're trying to figure out the combination. Am I going here? Am I rolling the first starter and then going three, or am I going double, double, triple? Um, and that's to me, that always got me, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always struggle with that a little bit. That was always kind of like my Achilles heel. I'd be like, shit, man, I got to figure out what I'm going to do with these whoops. Am I going to blitz them for 20 laps or am I going to blitz them for half the race and then figure out how to jump them? Um, and if I would go out there and I felt good for the first 10, I would just try to manage blitzing them, um, rest of the race.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It can be, so that's the thing, you mentioned it on the show earlier of this show, like, you might show up, they might have new dirt this year. So, you know, you never know, if, if, if, if they get a rain out, uhm, last year and it's just complete slop and then they might get rid of that dirt and they bring something else in. So, the dirt typically in the northwest can be a little bit rocky, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And also breakdown. So I'm, I'm expecting a tough, tough track, tough conditions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, especially if it does end up raining, then we all know what that, that opens the can of worms up to, uh, being very, very, very tough conditions. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that starts are going to be always key. I'm staying out of trouble, but I'm looking forward to getting back up there. I leave on Thursday morning and then I'm going to head over and see my grandparents for two days. Oh, cool. They're getting old. So I got to go up and see them and then you'll see me there Saturday. I might jump onto RDL too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought Juggie just hit me up, wants me to come on for segment two it sounds like for a little bit. So I'm looking forward to getting back to my hometown. Gonna see a bunch of, bunch of old friends and family and also the great fans of the Northwest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's a go for it. Walk us through here, RV. First turn going into the nice rhythm section here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeah, there's some long lanes here, lots of combinations. That's going to be something because of the length of the rhythm sections. Like we kind of saw this last year at Indie where it's either two, three, three or three, two, three. Like I think that makes up some good passing points, especially if the track breaks down, you want to try to get in the.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Into the pockets of the rhythm sections that are less road in so the ruts aren't nearly as deep. So if you can get almost off rhythm compared to what the rest of the.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, any emphasis into really looking at the track or zero emphasis into building tracks that are similar to what Dirtworks have because they all put the, the, the, the, the track maps out early. So all the team managers and teams and riders can check them out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, to me, I've never built a track specifically to like, Hey, I'm going to build a Daytona or I'm going to build, uh, you know, this track. So, uh, because they all, they all are different, uh, when you show up what they, from what they show on paper and it's nothing on purpose. It's just how, it's just how it is, you know, it's, it's not the same.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I'm looking forward to seeing Levi out there again. I'll also, along with, um, with RJ. Such they have a, they're very.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Totally looking forward to it. It's gonna be good. It's good to get back on the west coast for these guys and get the west coast 250 guys back out there. They've been on a pretty decent sized break, so it's gonna be interesting to see who comes out maybe a little lethargic and who comes out swinging.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I wouldn't lay it down and then get on top of it and serve it. Sweetheart, I burn toast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah. Talk about- I believe- What's the notorious B.I.G. snack?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Macaroni and cheese? Is that what it is? Who's getting the money?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want some wap snacks. I remember seeing Migos on some wap snacks on their website. Yeaah. They want some wasabi wap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The 7-Eleven was at the Packard house, down on like Packard and Hauser. Yea, it was the Packard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great work. Honestly great work. I had the Ford Focus wash there multiple times. You did it multiple times? Oh yea dude. So twice? How much did that cost? That was when I treated myself to that kind of stuff. You don't do that anymore? Now I don't. Now I don't. Oh wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's my Saturday morning washing them. Yeaah, nice. He was relatively priced well. I think he gave me a neighbor discount. It was like 20 bucks, something like that. You know what else was priced pretty damn well, which was- No vacuum though, no vacuum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Beautiful. Yeah, that neighborhood rocked, man. The 7-Eleven was right there. Yeah, that ruled. G-Money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I definitely went through the phase of like just loading up the trunk with like 12s and 14s and stuff and just connecting as much as possible, but I did find that the music sounded so good with just two eights. There you go, two eights. Two eights.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Blake, is that when the dude, like, picked up the piece of tan bark and pretended he was on the phone? Like, is that the same?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And no, that was, you're getting some stories, that was... And he got it back. No, this is not the same story. This is the story when we were playing Wii bowling, and having some cocktails and smoking resin balls. The good old days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And with a fucking knock, knock, knock, knock, knock. And we were like, who the fuck is coming over? And it was the lady who came into our house. And we were like, what happened? And she was like, I just got, I just got robbed. They took my laptop at gunpoint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and then the, then the next, like after that, she left, she went back to her car, she, and then I think somehow G-Money figured out about it, and he was like, not in my neighborhood, if I find the motherfucker who did this, I'ma bury him. And it was like, whoa. And then a sawed-off shotgun.

[Assistant] Blake, do you remember when you were like, uh, when you're like, okay, I got to go to work at BJ's and I had to back my car out and I was going slow because it was a blind driveway and you just kind of went at whatever speed you felt like it and just hit my car straight up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is that? Yeah, how did you get by while you were delivery driving? Like, how did you- That's my concern. Guys, this was the time of-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty bad if you're trying to get from A to B at a timely matter, like bad if you're


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. But you do know what town he lives in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that should have rang, rang your bell. Maybe a little, and you also grew, like you spend a fair amount of time in- Super familiar, yeah, familiar with the town. In Orange County, so when you're getting off the freeway and going to like- Yeah, I went to college there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tried that, trust me, and I scrolled for a while, and... Are you, what is, where to, where to go? Can you delete your text chains? Are you one of those, those guys? Well, I lose my phones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Both you and Blake know how to drive motorcycles, which is kind of, that's the same idea as a stick. You're driving a clutch, clutch car, so you kind of got the idea there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I know, I have something else, cause I know you, I mean, go ahead, Anders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why I call it man shit, because of my father, because he said you must learn on a stick. And I said, okay, daddy. Wow. Daddy, I'll never.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's so freaky when I see people going in between that stuff. I just am like, what is happening?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's weird because I don't think I've ever really seen, in California, I don't think I've ever seen a motorcycle taking up the space of a car. You know what I mean? Like just being like, exactly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I agree. Well wasn't he in, he was in that documentary with Jack White, right? It Might Get Loud and he was talking about all the different, uh, amplifications and all the different patches that he runs through and he's got his own tech that kind of gives him a sound that cannot be replicated. Well that's what was kind of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, that's a, that's a downgrade in the name. Yeaah. Yeaah, the edge is way cooler than the homie. Yeaah, that's a, that's a, to him. What?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To you, it's a major upgrade, but to him, that's kind of like, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but what's it like? I mean, okay, do you remember it or were you at the Akko level or, or, like, what was his response? Was he like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The honor is accepted or was he like, this is going on a little too long?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I also really liked when he like sat on the speakers like at the MTV like music awards. Like I thought that was a sick move. It's like, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like the more recent cool moment from the music awards was when, was it Borat who dropped down on Eminem and Eminem put his butt on Eminem's face and Eminem was like, no, no, not cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you did the dessert when we said that you couldn't do the pretzel sticks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me reboot here. No, it's cool. I just wanna make sure we're on the same page here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, that's good. Tacos, that's why they're called taco.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, because you're talking while eating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. So you don't have to put a taco shell in the fourth one. You're cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About the car. I'm gonna do a full blown. I don't think you had to apologize for that. Adam's got his take back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I said I was saving it so I'm going to do it anyways, but I also would like to apologize to Dyrs for jumping down the throat about the brownies because I actually kind of want to taste them brownies one day.

[Assistant] The 20 year old Honda man who is on the verge of changing the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome everyone to Title 24 presented by NBC Sports. I'm Ricky Carmichael, got Ryan Villapoto there, my co-host. And, uh, before we get started, like always need to think, uh, United Motorsports. We appreciate you guys. And of course, QuadLock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, Boxo USA, some great partners, great product. And, uh, we, uh, we appreciate all your support and man, just, I want to dive right into it. RV, you were there this weekend and Washugal, we're going to do this recap. Um, but before we get going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's just do what all, what all of our listeners and viewers were talking about and sending us questions. We got a sound clip from Hayden Deegan, uh, after his dub, uh, the second moto.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's roll that sound and start it from there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I've been saying it, RV, we've been talking about it on Title 24 all year long. I've been impressed by what he's been able to do. We talked about him so much during Supercross and you could see how, uh, how he could adapt, how he would adjust.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, yeaah, his results speak for themselves in Supercross. Uh, he's continued to impress both of us and a lot of people. I feel like, uhm, I feel like the reason we're able to talk about it and not to, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, bang our own chest, but we've, the reason that we know what he's going through and I feel like I could speak for both of us on this is we, we lived outside of the media attention and what, what in the, in the spotlight he's been under since he was a little kid with just how popular his dad has been and his sister. Uh, we lived what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's living on the motorcycle and the adapt, how he's been able to adapt, adjust, learn, uhm, you and I did that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At his level, so that's how we, I feel like we resonate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With him, but I talked about it, like you have these steps that you go through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And up until about the last two weeks, I said the next thing that he has to do is he has to find a little bit more speed because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Up until this weekend, I do feel like Hunter was the guy to beat. It was his to lose because he could run really good laps for 235s. And if, if...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Hayden didn't want to rely on something, like rely on a little bit of luck or some misfortune from Hunter, he's got to find a little bit of speed. And that's going to be the next, the next stepping stone for him to go that deep, to go that long, both motos. That's really what he, that's the next, that's evolution for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And based on what I saw, what you're telling me, we feel like he has, he's made that, that next step.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, uhm, so, uh, to integrate, uh, the questions that we had. So last week, obviously, most of the questions were based around Chase and Jet because of how well Chase has been riding and everyone thinks he's gonna take him down, which is a good chance that he could probably


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, wipe off, uh, the perfect, perfect season that Jed is having right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, now all this week, it's all about, uh, about Haydn's. And Cassidy.Peacocks asks,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How does Deegan's 1-1 affect how the last three rounds go?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, totally. Uh, so Cody Roth, Rothschild, and this is a, it's kind of like, it's a great second question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think Hunter is worried about Deegan or is he confident that this is his title? I'm going to, you answer first and then I have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I text Johnny O'Mara this morning. I'm like, dude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No more gimmies for you guys. And he just basically says, no, we have to be perfect. And, uh, to, to back you up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And just a second, what you're saying, RB, is yeaah. I mean, I feel like Hunter, he has gotta ride superbly. He's gotta get great starts. He can't override. He can't be laying on the ground. And, uh, to, to, to Jeremy Werner's, uh, question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think, I do think after this weekend, Hunter is for sure, is for sure shook. Maybe not shook, but he is, he should be on serious, yeaah, oh yeaah, he should be on serious guard. Uhm, especially


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially if, if Hayden is able to respond and ride like he did in Washubo. If he rides like he did, yeah.
