[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Still pretty comfortable, but if we can get another, if Koop can get another win and get another 3 or 4 point, you know, close that in a bit more. Now we're within like 12 points.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I think the, the mental, the strategy,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I think, not that really that Jet sits in a total hot seat, but your, his, his thoughts are going to probably, are going to change. It's like, hey, I'm going to have to, number one, no mistakes. Uhm, and number two is I'm going to have to have good solid races, uhm, from here on out. Uhm, dude, it's going to, aww.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That would have been 2010, I think. Myself, Dunge, Dunge had a 12 point lead on me going, going into St. Louis. How do you have the lead on you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. I was must. Oh, that was the year you didn't qualify, right? No, no, no. Cause I won that. So Jacksonville is when I didn't qualify. I still won the championship that year, 2010. I was still a bit out of shape, probably carrying around a couple LBs that I shouldn't have had. Um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, also, uh, that's the same, uh, same jump Ivan, Ivan fell on it, like I think two or three laps later and then punctured both of his lungs. So then I was laid up in the, in the, at the time Asterix mobile medical unit because he was more critical than me, even though my leg was completely sideways and barely hanging on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was, that was, he was priority because of his lungs. So they took him and then I had to hang around for a bit longer. So that would, that would have been my, uh, probably my gnarliest racing crash, probably gnarliest crash ever, I would say would have probably been, um, been St. Louis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think knowing what I, more, more on the side of yes, what I've had, you know, confidence and more confidence, sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think what I look back in roleplay that is if I could have won that night, if, shoulda, coulda, woulda, and if I would have won that night, uhm, I think I would have been way more into Dunge's head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then prior even going in there. I mean, 12 points like we talked about is pretty, pretty close. If, if Coop can get in 12, now you got a real, real race, you know, on your hands. So, uh, we were within 12. We, it was a very, it was, I thought, and he knew.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and then really been into, hopefully got into Dunge's head, uhm, for the rest of the races that were coming up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What would have happened had I won that? Yeah, exactly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dang. We both have, I'm sure there's a lot of those out there. If you really start digging into them, we can, we could, we could talk about more about those.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but like how they come back across the start, we're going to, we're going to jump upon the finish line here. Once, once we, uh, get the Aaron's Aaron. Yeah, we got, we got where we got to work on that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mainly, look, we're looking at a track map, but even as a racer, and I talked to somebody else this last time, you ever look at the track map? I said no and never because it was never the same. Now you can go to the dirt, right? Like that's what we're talking about is, is it's got good dirt. Um, it, it tends, it's, it's, it's a dome, correct? I think it's a dome, dome, yeah. So we're in a dome this weekend, correct?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, I think we, it's cool, we're going into our last stadium round of the season. But as we leave St. Louis, that means we have five uncovered stadiums to run this puppy out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's going to potentially throw, you know, another wrench in the program. You know, it's going to keep it. What it's going to do is it's going to keep everything interesting. Um, and if we don't have mud races, I, I will say that we'll have very technical tracks because, because of the open stadiums.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, whoever wins this championship because it is, it is close. Uhm, you know, for the, for the, for the 250 and the 450 class.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It has not been an easy one, especially when it comes towards the weather. You know, like I said, we typically have west coast rounds. We typically know what we're going to get. It's going to be kind of hard pack. Anaheim one might be the, the one that's a bit, uh, a bit like tack tacky and maybe a little bit ruddy and then monster trucks come in and now it's hard pack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, exactly. And I think we'll get that. I think we're going to get, we're going to get track conditions, you know, depending on how the dirt is once they bring it in. But once they bring it in, they got the heat to it because the heaters are inside the stadium.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, race the track a bit easier. It's not going to be the same condition that we saw. More than likely, it's not going to be the same condition we saw at Seattle. So I think you're going to have guys freely moving around the track and being able to kind of ride. You're going to deal with arm pump issues like Coop did because the track is going to be a bit easier to ride.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we're going to be out there hanging out. I got to do a little bit of racing and then we're going to raffle off a bike that we built a brand new YZ250. Uh, Mitch did the cylinder all up the head, you know, all the goodies are going to be on it and some lucky.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, it's good, yeaah, it's really good. It's, it's actually, uhm, I raced, I, I did some of the development a little bit on it and then what you saw Kenny race of that YZ250, that's basically what we, once again, what we, what we built, or Mitch built for the cylinder and head. So she's a, she's a fire breather.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome to another episode of Title 24 presented by NBC Sports. I'm Ricky Carmichael. Got my co-host Ryan Villapoto there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, before we get going, like always, thanks to our great sponsors, United Motorsports, Quadlock Case, Foxo USA, and of course Dunlop Tires. They are a new partner. We're glad to have you guys on board and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] RV is just getting right into it. Oh, first of all, to all our viewers and listeners, uh, sorry we couldn't record yesterday. RV was doing a photo shoot or video shoot. Uh, he was gone all day and I had some, um, health, uh, checkups yesterday. Uh, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yep, so sorry we couldn't, uh, do our normal recording, but, uh, we're going to come to you today with a, a great episode, a lot of meat on the bone to talk about, a lot of drama on the Triple Crown. Uh, but before we get into, uh, Anaheim 2 RV, why don't you, uh, tell everybody your thoughts on, on the live show that we had, uh, Thursday, bud.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I definitely, uh, yeah, we're definitely going to do some more. So we'll keep everyone, we'll keep everyone posted. Probably going to try to do them, uh, RV and I and the, and the, and the rest of the team with, uh, rich and JJ, we're all talking about, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, doing it in certain regions. So, uh, whatever, whichever makes sense. Number one for the fans and, and, and then RV and I schedule, of course. And, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it was, I agree with you, brother. It was so much fun. Um, it was great to see the fan reaction. Rich did a great job putting it on all of our partners and everyone who, uh, kicked in for the event. We appreciate, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we appreciate you, you guys and the opportunity that you guys gave us. Uh, it seemed like the fans had a great time. Uh, some of the VIPs, of course they had a great time and it was great. Uh, we appreciate, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Imig and Bradshaw coming on, like you said, RV, it was just fun telling stories, kind of rehashing what we had already rehashed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, yep, did you, uh, okay, so Triple Crown, do you like Triple Crown, uh, or do you not like Triple Crown?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, for sure. And another observation that I noticed about the track, I'm glad you said something, RV, is the bass looks super hard. Like, even like going back to press day on Friday,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dry on Thursday, or pardon me, Friday and Saturday, like I was down watching, uh, Q1 and dude, the wind was absolutely howling. I mean, the Dirtworks track crew did a great job with the best they could, but for sure that made it challenging. The whoops were gnarly, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I, uh, I love the Triple Crown. I know that extra start. They got one extra start and it's, you know, the time that they're on the track is a little bit longer. But, uh, I mean, from a broadcast standpoint and a fan standpoint, I think that the Triple Crown format is great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so I don't think they need to do it anymore than what they're already doing, but nevertheless, it's fun. Dude, fourth race of the season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Four different winners and, and you mentioned it too. Like I was looking back a couple of times, there were so many good battles in good guys from that fourth to seventh place like position. It was insane, bro. It was insane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, Cooper Webb comes through, gets the overall, doesn't even win a race, uhm, so, uh, he just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doing what he does, he got great starts and I wouldn't say rolled around there, but stayed competitive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can see him right there, so we're watching a replay. He's on the, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's on the podium. He's coughing. I had an opportunity to talk to him. We were on the same flight back and he'd been sick pretty much the whole time that he had been in California. That, uh, I'm going to give him some hard, a hard time though on the pod today, RV. It's like, that's sorry dog. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or, or what they have and I've talked about this. We've all talked about this. I understand that they don't want to reveal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, that, uh, of an injury to give their competitor advantage. But, uh, if he isn't hitting the marks and I dog him out or call the race like I see it and I have no background information of what, uh, he's going through, then I'm going to come off like the bad guy, right? Cause he's going to say, dude, I've been sick. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, well, if you would have told me, I like, I could have built you up as a hero. Like, Hey, look at this guy. He's riding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's writing great for as sick as he is, you know, so anyhow, uh, if that's the case, he's been sick. I mean, obviously you could visually see it and listen to him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was a heck of a ride. Uh, Jay Starrett says, with Cooper Webb's early success, do you think he is peeking too early? He's normally a second half guy. What do you think about that? What's your thought and analysis on that? Do you think he's peeking too early?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it, it, uh, definitely for sure, like going, touching about Coop versus Jett, like, you know, Jett.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Racing the 450 doesn't have a lot of experience in a proper supercross track. SMX track designs are completely different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so, so it's different and then like what Jed is facing right now where he's kind of like stuck in a hornet's nest, his starts aren't that great. It's hard to, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything's just happening so fast and then you take a guy like Cooper who has already went through this process. That's where I feel like to, to your point RV is where it's going to help.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think he's going to be good along the rest of the season. I do think as the tracks, uh, get rougher and get tighter, he is better in those positions. And the reason that I say that, if you guys watch Coop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's really, really good and rides well when the track gets, when the corners get tighter, there's multiple ruts. He stays lower. He's not riding on that edge. He's 10 times more efficient with less effort.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And to exactly what you're saying, uh, RV, that's where, uh, you know, that's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, that's where I think he's, he's he really shines in those conditions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uhm, who do you think, out of the weekend, who impressed you the most in the 450 class?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, another guy that I want to throw in there too that I thought was, uh, uh, I, I don't know that he was the most impressive, but certainly on the same, uh, lines as Jason and, and AP is Eli. And the reason that I say that, I, I feel like especially that last race, this dude looked like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Imagine, imagine if this was last year, you know, like midway through the season, that third race, it looked like that, like he was back to not only championship form, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Race winning form, like it was the old Eli, like he's riding with confidence, he had the speed, he had the aggression.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think another key thing there in, in that, in that presser and his comments RV is how he talked about that race felt like the only the second race, you know, because the other two San Diego, San Fran, Mudders, it's really hard to, hard to get a gauge. So if you, if you take those out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, man, that was a massive improvement on dry, real race conditions, uh, compared to, uh, the, the opening round at Anaheim. So it's gonna be, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, it's going to be interesting. I think if he gets his starts sorted out, I was texting, uh, Wigant, uh, just going over some stuff for this weekend coming up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Detroit, I'm like, I'd like to see what Eli could do with a top three start this weekend in the main event based on how well he rode in that third race, dude. I think, I think he might be back to, to, to, to the form that he was at before he was injured last year, would you think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, yep, no doubt. Uh, switching gears, uh, before we get into the Boxo breakdown section, uh, which is, which is awesome. It's a massive talking point that I'm looking forward to. I think all you guys will love to hear RV.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, check out BoxoUSA.com. They got all kinds of stuff. We talk about it every week. Lifetime guarantee. Uh, they have really cool like adventure bags. We have adventure, uh, sport bike.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it's a small little compact when we use them on our, uh, adventure eyes. There's my, uh, signature, uh, moto box. Comes, uh, fully loaded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think you guys would really be, yeaah, pretty impressed with that. We also have it in a five drawer, uhm, as well. Uh, the, the, the five drawer comes with, uhm, uh, extra


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Extra drawers, so that's nice that you can fill it up with whatever you want, but there's the roll bag there. So, uh, some, some visuals for you guys. We appreciate you guys, Boxo. So for the Boxo breakdown, Jason Anderson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He killed it this week. As you said, he was one of your standouts. I think he's gonna, I think he's gonna be good all season long. And I'm a, I'm a Jason Anderson fan. I love what he brings. I love his aggression. I love his passion. And I love where he's at now that he's the veteran of the, of the class. I just love his approach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, he gets, he loses a position. Uhm, we have, we have some b-roll here, but this is the first lap of the third race. He gets kind of banged around. Yeaah, he runs into Barsha and he's going to go around the whoops. He, he gets back going. You can see right there. He,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He goes pretty quick right there early on, right? Not, I don't know that he was wide open. Like, do you think he was wide open or?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, uh, St. Rietz, or S. Rietz, 7-Eleven asks, do you think the AMA has something against El Hombre? What do you think, dude?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I agree with RV on this one. Nah, they're not picking on him. But I will say this, not only on the situation that happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This past weekend in Anaheim, but in general, it's clear that AMA is cracking down on the off track or if you go off track, they're cracking down on the penalties. So I think as a rider.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I, I'm sure I can speak for you on this, on this behalf or on this subject RV. And I know that I would be this way. If, if you know there, if you know they're cracking down, JH has always told me never leave it in the hands of the refs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you know the AMA is cracking down, dude, then you best be getting on the track in the quickest and safest place possible. And if you can't get back on the track, you better not go fast and you better make it obvious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In my opinion that, that you're not going fast because with AMA cracking down and as many fines or penalties as they've given to certain riders, maybe some people have opinions of they haven't given enough, uh, penalties to some riders and, and only this other riders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Regardless, I think the, especially the championship contenders, you better take notice if you get knocked off the track or what, whatever you do, you better think about what's happening, what you think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right. That's the box, uh, Boxo breakdown for you guys this week. Boxo, thank you guys very much. Remember, check out boxousa.com. That's uh, that's how we broke it down. So you guys take notice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, if you go off course, AMA is cracking down. So just, just be aware. And before we move on from Eli, got a quick fan question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From Sonora Quakes fan, is Eli now over his mental block of his injury?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he is after the third race. I think, RV, you already touched on it. Do you think he's over it completely?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, next segment, uh, Dunlop due diligence. I've made a couple of calls and by the way, Dunlop, thank you very much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the partnership, keep in, uh, keep in touch with, uh, well, we are going to keep you guys in touch with Dunlop. They're going to be doing some giveaways and, uh, best tire in the series for sure. All the top guys are using it and, uh, I've got a long history with Dunlop RV. You do as well. Uh, just heart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A hard working crew over there. Great crew. Uh, can you imagine all the tires and teams that they support?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, a few guys used the new, uh, Geomax as well. The, uh, it's an AT82. Did you, did you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, so he, uhm, so the due diligence part is, uh, you know, he crashes, uhm, jet crashes, Aaron, roll that tape, uh, jet crashes, this is the first race, and you can see he's coming in there, uh, his starts have been off par, uh, all season long, and it's tough in the 450 class, but looks like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe him and Malcolm collide, not collide, but they bump. There, I, I, there was contact made that we don't have a perfect view of it. I mean, we have several different, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just, it's just so hard to tell. You can see right there, we're watching the replay. Uh, that's just a, uh, side shot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, that he's going through is just learning. I feel like he's been knocked down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, we talked a little bit about it at the beginning. I feel like he's just caught in this tailspin and he can't get out. And you can see right here, we're watching a video, uh, or a replay of one of his starts, just poor. He's able to sneak through the inside on this particular replay, um, and get by, but, uh, man, just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gotta be, you gotta be good at the start. Even guys like Tomac. I mean, look what Tomac did with a good start that, uh, that, that last race.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Joseph Bramlett, 24, asks, is there a way to prevent Jett's first crash with the whole shot device? Uhm, I don't, I, well, that's a good question. I, I messed up. I thought that it did look just from the view that I had and I only had a quick view before I was able to break it down here with URV.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just briefly looked at it during the broadcast and I thought that maybe the whole shot device had unloaded and that's why you went left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uhm, I talked to one of my sources as well and they just, uh, he was never overly comfortable, uh, for the weekend. And of course, probably sometimes you're not gonna be, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Comfortable when you're, when you set yourself at a disadvantage like you did the first race and never could get that momentum going, which leads me to, uh, the third race. Dude, for, for one second, so we got time in scoring RV as you know in the, in the booth and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And as we're calling the race, I'm like looking at the championship, not just the race overall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On that, uh, on that right side of the whoops. Did you see that? Like a couple times, dude. It's like, he's going to the right, going to the right. And which was crazy because I'm sure it was faster blitzing it, but just the risk of going down, uh, I feel like was too high.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It, it, it looked like for a second there, maybe, maybe did he dip the front? Cause it looked like he was jumping through there. Like see right here, we're watching the replay, like he's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't, man, like, I, I, like I said, that's the only replay that we have. I just assumed that he was going through there cause he had swapped a few times and had lost, uh, traction. His forks had rebounded up a couple times, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, uhm, that is great analysis everyone, uh, to all of our viewers. Everyone tuned in on the audio portion if you just listened to the audio podcast. What R.V. was explaining to you guys, it really gets, there really is no better analysis of what he said of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why you go through the whoops and where you go through the whoops and how you go through the whoops and the difficulties of that particular


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then that's when you can kind of go sideways, it's soak or.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There you go. Dunlop, uh, due diligence, uhm, section of the show. Appreciate Dunlop, everyone, and, uh, keep an eye on that new, uh, Geomax AT82. Should be good. I'm not even sure if it's out or available yet, but if it is, you're definitely gonna want that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I think for the defending champ, when he came out firing that first race, I'm like, oh boy. I thought, honestly, I thought he was gonna, I thought he was gonna.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That would explain Chase letting Jet by. I mean, what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love the reaction, RV. You're like, what the hell? What?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, said he didn't know Jet was that close.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what I heard from a reliable source.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, if that's the case, if he didn't know Jett was that close, RV.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I gotta, I gotta go off for a second, dude, on this, so. Let's hear it. If my sources are right, and, you know, like, listen, I like Chase, everybody, like, dude, I respect the, I respect the crap out of him, right? He's, uh, he always tries, never, never gives up, and that, that,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shame on him for not being more aware of your surroundings, right? I mean, like dude, I mean, I feel like Jett was so close. I don't, I don't know how someone at the level of Chase Sexton did not know that, that Jett was that close. So I'm calling a little bit of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm claiming BS on this one a little bit, or that excuse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But nevertheless, at this stage in the game, especially Jett Lawrence, you do not give, not him, not Eli, not Cooper, not anyone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the guys, championship contenders, you don't just let them buy at this stage in the race, this stage in the series. Man, half of it, RV, you know this, a lot of this is a mind game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not getting on the podium was at risk or not at least salvaging a second place. And that was, I would have never let those guys by. I would have least taken the main line and hogged up the line so he couldn't get by me. There's no way in hell that I would let him by.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no shot. Not no shot. Stu, there were times where I let him by, because I knew that I couldn't beat him, you know, and I was taking my, my crack at if I let him by.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, I go back to, he could have done what, you know, like, like Anderson did in San Diego. Like just, dude, just take the main line. If you want to get by me, find a way by me. Don't open the door and let the guy go by you. Right? So that dude, like to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is crazy. I couldn't believe it. Like I said on the broadcast, I'm like, dude, you just let the guy buy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So call it what you will. If my source says, hey, he didn't realize he was aware, he didn't realize that Jett was that close, well, work on your awareness and how close the guys are, uh, and don't give these championships eyes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I agree with you. Uhm, Aaron Plessinger, dude, I'm looking forward to him going back, uh, to Detroit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was talking with the producer of our show, Chris Bond.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, before the race started, like, man, could you imagine what a story it would be to go to Detroit and AP has a red plate. Uh, that whole AP having the red plate, he's the B guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of the team, he's beating the franchise guy, make no mistake about it. I mean, they hired Chase to win races. Obviously they want AP to win races, but, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's gonna be fun to watch. That dynamic is gonna be fun to watch if AP can continue to have the great results that he's had. But I like that he's going back to Detroit with the red plate. I mean,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Based on what happened last year, RV, do you think it gives AP a little extra motivation or that you think that Detroit owes him one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's going to be this. I'm looking forward to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All that playing out. This weekend's gonna be fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I will say that everyone tuned in today listening and or if you're watching that, uh, he's, uh, AP's been pretty outspoken. He likes the bike.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, because the bike has been, uh, working for him so well, he was really able to just put in his laps in the off season, uh, not have to always test the bike, which is comforting, uh, as we all know. Uh, moving on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Quadlock Question of the Week. Boy, this is a good one. Uh, if you haven't checked out Quadlock, check out quadlockcase.com. Uh, they got everything that you need from a phone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You name it. Chargers, mounts, vibration dampeners, vibration dampener has, uh, saved my camera and its internal stabilizer, uh, or focus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Internal focus, uh, mechanism they have on the camera. I've, I've say, I lost two phones because I didn't have that stabilizer. So check out quadlockcase.com. Uh, they make a great product and, uh, they are a great partner of title 24. So thank you for the quad lock question of the week. It is Matt Holt. Matt Holt asks, and I love this question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you're, I mean, dude, you, you're, we're, we're also older. We didn't have social media like they do now. It's, it's harder for us to speculate. You know, I feel like Matt, uh, on this one, I do have some thoughts about it. Um, before I get to my thoughts though, uh, Cooper web has some thoughts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so. That was good. I love Cooper's candidness. That's, I mean, all three guys on there. Those are three good guys to have in the press conference.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Matt, so here's, here's the thing, social media in the comment sections, whether it's any form of sport in my opinion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I think sadly that our sport is one of the worst, uh, for it, uh, the negativity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and just their, uh, their opinions and the lack of respect for a writer. You don't have to like them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, but, but uh, the, the, the lack of respect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just because of the dislike blows my mind. I don't agree with it, but it is, it is what it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I think it affects riders, the younger riders, like RV said, for sure. Uhm, again, going back to social media in general, especially our sport, unfortunately, if there's one thing that I wish I could change, it would be that. I wish it would be more positive. Uh, I bet that the social versus, er,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what I, I bet if you, if you did it and you did a question out of 10, I bet you have six.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Six to seven negative, negative comments versus positive. That sucks. It shouldn't be that way. I mean, imagine like, I mean, RV, you got two twins. I got twins and dude, I'm trying to, I'm trying to teach positive encouragement, you know, keep your opinions to yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, like, your opinion doesn't matter. Like, just, you worry about you, you be the best that you can be. Uh, a lot of the people that comment have no earthly idea of what they're talking about. Uhm, I think for the younger people, Matt, that, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we'll use Jet Lawrence, for example, because he's the one that's getting booed. Uh, he's got a long way to go, RV, until he catches me in 2002, where...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was full booze, uhm, but I think younger guys, until they learn how to deal with it, like someone like Jason Anderson, Eli Tome at Cooper Web, where quite frankly, they don't give a damn, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm the guy you, you guys loved from 97 to 2001. I haven't changed anything. What? Just because I ride a different motorcycle, all of a sudden you think I'm this different person. I was bought when clearly that wasn't the case. You could go to, we went fast here. The whole story of why I left Cali went to Honda and then Honda to, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What, what they risk. I mean, it's just like, and then like, it's, dude, it's almost,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I go to NASCAR stuff, I think I feel like the fans respect the old, the, the, the, the past drivers so much more and even some of the younger ones. Listen, is there hate? Of course there is, but it's not as much. I don't feel like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right. That's what we're trying to do. Yeah. To your point, these guys are the best in the business. They risk it all. And dude, imagine, you know, imagine if one of those kids were your kids, would you want people being negative towards them?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Matt, that was a great, uh, great question. Uh, you won it because of, uh, it was a great topic. Uhm, it's a hot topic, for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you know what to do, uh, we will contact you, uh, or you can slide into the title 24, Instagram, uh, DM us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we will get you all set up with Quadlock and get your free merchandise. I guarantee you, you will be pumped on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, a wild night, uhm, United Motorsports moment of the night for sure will be the, uh, tremendous race in between RJ.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] in, in Levi, uh, united motorsports.com. Make sure you guys check them out. Look at their win a $50 gift card.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you have to, uh, sign in. Look at, there's their, uh, there's their facility. I've been telling y'all. They have, uh... Oh, it's unbelievable. That's, uh, in there. Remember, you can get, uh, Boxo in there as well. I'm sure they may have some Quadlock case. If they don't, you can go to quadlock.com. But...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, we could go to United. We could go to United. Yeaah, just an epic spot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They do a great job, but remember, uh, sign up, do a one-time deal. Uh, they give you 50, uh, 50 bucks and you can see where you do it. You do www.unitedmothersports.com slash title 24.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's the barcode to make it easier for you. So you guys watching this, boom, scan it. Uh, they, they, they are picking out a lucky winner each week to give $50 credit to anyone who signs up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uh, good stuff over there, but, uh, yeah, the United Motorsports moment of the night was a killer racing by, uh, um, Levi and RJ, um, outside of Thrasher winning, uh, Jordan Smith had a rough go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Veteran this weekend. I mean, he never cracked one time and I know you've, you've put him on the hot seat several times here on title 24, uh, RV and he, that dude answered the bell this weekend, bro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He got, he got lucky, um, on the third race. I don't know if you caught it on the podium speech. He said he had a flat tire. I heard that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, rarely do you, rarely do you see that these days, but yeah, he got a flat. I saw some replay though when he fell before he went down, when he went down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, oh, Hunter, yeah, dude, I'll go ahead. I'll say it. He's out of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, he's a fan favorite without a doubt, uh, less than spectacular. I think some of it is probably in his head at this stage. The only reason I say that because dude, he's crashing so many times. I just feel like he's in this hole and he can't get out of it and he's just mentally beat down. So who knows? Maybe this weekend break.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He can kind of, uh, you know, for these West guys, he can kind of snap out of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you will, one of the other guys in the points, uh, there that has been good, uh, unfortunately he got off to a rough start is that's Nate Thrasher. I think he's, he's kind of out of it. He's going to have to string some wins together and he's going to have to hope for some bad luck or unfortunate circumstances with his competitors. But I've.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I just looking back, he's gonna look back on the series and those, yeaah, the start is what he's gonna be so bummed about, some things out of his control, but, uh, Anaheim certainly wasn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, that's our United Motorsports, uh, moment of the night. Remember, uh, head over to united motorsports.com.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, slash title 24 on that initial sign in, you'll get 15 bucks and then they'll pick out of all of everyone who signs up each week, they will, uh, give you a $50 gift card. They pick one person to give a $50 gift card each week. So that's a hell of a, uh, hell of a deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and you saw how nice their place is. They're doing a lot of great things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Appreciate, uh, appreciate everything and everyone at, uh, united motorsports.com. Big weekend on, uh, NBC. Uh, we're focusing on SMX. Full focus is there. SupermotoCross is going to be a lot of fun. It's going to be live, uh, on big NBC. It's going to be 3 PM Eastern time Saturday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uh, make sure you check that out, uh, at Detroit, uh, as far as regular week stuff goes, as you all know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Thursdays at is SMX Insider with Jason Wygant and Jason Thomas. Saturday, uh, again, early, uh, start for race day live, dude, 9.30 AM RV. You'll still be, uh, you'll still be, yeah, you'll still be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? The main event starts, or uh, sorry, the show starts at three o'clock and uh, it'll be on NBC and of course live on Peacock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, uh, the 450 heats will be first, so don't miss the start. The, uh, format is a little bit different starting with the, uh, premier class. So, uh, a lot to look forward to for sure. It's the 250, um, east debut, a lot to look forward to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the shiny object bro, deegan. I mean, I'm, I'm hearing all kinds of shenanigans. He's hurt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I heard that. He's a 250 SMX champ. I heard that he's hurt. I heard that he's riding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he races, I'm assuming he's going to. If he's coming in injured, what's the play for Hayden Deegan and how do you think he'll do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, he's only going to be, you just have to assume you know how much you learned your rookie season. You knew how you were able to, uh, pay that forward on the following season. You just get that much more comfortable. You know what to expect. You know how the bikes react. You know how the track reacts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lemme, lemme ask you this. And uhm, it's been pretty quiet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Austin Forkner had- do you-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think, do you think he finally gets it done and wins the championship? He's gonna have to go through, uhm, Deegan. But, what do you, do you think he gets it done?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good, I'm excited, a whole bunch of good guys, a lot of rookies, uh, Evan Ferry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, like, there's, there's so many good guys and so many, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So many, so many veterans also that have a legit shot of winning. It's going to be a lot of fun, but I always go back to, um, you know, this is very similar to 450 class as far as it's going to take a few races for us to see the bummer part. If you're like Deegan, you're one of the veterans, you're like Deegan or you're, uh, like, um, crap, Forkner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like Forkner, say Forkner comes out and dominates. Now it sucks for him because he can't keep the momentum going because now we go to Glendale after that and then there's a weekend off before Detroit before they get back on, right? So it's like, oh, you have a two week break, but that's like a blessing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Deegan is really hurt, so all he has to do is go out, get a podium. He gets two weeks, uh, two week by, which is nice. So, uh, but keep your eye on the rookies. Triumph's debut.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, I, I think, um, from, from, if I'm a team manager standpoint, I'm like, all right, uh, Evan, just go out there, log the lap. So what you can't do is hurt yourself. Don't try to be someone that you're not. Dude, if all you have is 15th.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All you got's 15th, get it. 15th is better than trying to go out and get 10th or trying to go faster than what you're capable of, or you're not comfortable and then hurting yourself, then you don't get the experience. So I'm going in there and just with zero expectations and just do your best and make every lap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, as far as Jaleek's wall goes, uhm, he's been in it for a while.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's had some injuries, but you don't need to go set the world on fire. If you're capable of podium, get the podium. You know, if, if, if top fives, I mean, he's plenty capable of top five.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get, get your top five. Just, just be there, you know, just, just ride to the best of your abilities. Don't try to overachieve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, as far as the team goes and, and how that looks, I think, um, you know, from the engineers, the suspension guy, the engine guy, I think just getting everything set and, and, and being organized.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, are they gonna have some growing pains? I'm sure they are. Yeah, right? So that's like off the track. That's what I would try to be, uh, focused on is being as running as smoothly as possible. So it's, it's going to be fun to see finally the bike, uh, in a race situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, exciting times. Like I said, you got a rookie that's never done it at this level. So go out there and do the best that you can. And then you have Jaleik Swole who is capable of doing well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, he's, he's showed us that, uh, if he's got some good confidence, he could be a sleeper. So that's what I'm looking forward to, uh, in the 250 class. Hey, one thing I want to say, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As far as Detroit and we can wrap it up unless you have something else, but that track is, um, very similar or was last year at least to what, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and, and marbly, it's gonna be interesting to see, uh, if, if, if he's comfortable. So that's what I'm looking forward to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, as far as Jack goes, Eli, I want to see what he can do at the start. And then of course, Cooper Webb, everybody, dude, it's so good. I mean, we got four, we've only had four rounds, dude, we've only had four rounds. We've got four winners. Eli hasn't won yet. I, I still feel like Kenny, you know, Kenny has, Kenny, Kenny is good, right? Kenny's good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right. Alright dude, that was a good one. Man, that was a long one. Good one for you guys. All our viewers and listeners, again, thanks for the patience.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tagging along on this ride. It's been a fantastic season and RV before we get going, we got a special guest coming on. Uh, but I thought you and I, we were kind of talking this week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, we weren't going to do anything and we're like, man, with all the announcements and silly season coming out, uh, this last week, we're like, I think we should do something and maybe chime in, huh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right, so our, uh, our special guest today, uhm, he is the chief editor at WeWentFast.com.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, just a fantastic guy and a quick story before we, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bring him in. I've known Brett for a very long time. He's from Michigan. Uh, we raced amateurs together, same class, same age group, all that fun stuff. But, uh, nevertheless, uh, Brett has, uh, been in the industry his whole life. Uh, he's very passionate about it. And, um, if you don't know him, you need to know him. Uh, he recently


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, wrote just an absolutely incredible story about my departure from Honda.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, to Suzuki did a ton of work, spent, uh, a lot of time, did a lot of research, uh, on this story. It was the greatest gamble in motocross. So I'd make sure you check that out at we went fast, but, uh, he's been, um, you know, he's an editor, a great writer, like I said, passionate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, you know, with the silly season amongst us and all of the, uh, all of the news coming out from some of the teams, some of the, uh, the media stuff that we've seen from some of the teams, which is pretty cool. Uh, throwing a little sense of humor in there as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we figured let's bring him on. So, uh, we would love to introduce, uh, Brett Smith. Hey guys, thanks for having me on the show. All right. All right, Brett.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so, uh, I just shared the story about how we met and our journey through, uh, amateur racing. And then you went on to, to do other things, but you've always been a, uh, just an historian of the sport and, uh, you've worked really hard. All of your stories that you've done, uh, just, uh, the amount of time that you put in and just a quick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A quick rundown for our listeners and viewers of the time you spent, who you talked to for your latest story that you wrote about my departure from Honda.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just go back, like, like I said, a lot of the people don't know just how much time you spent on this. I mean, how long, how long was it from start to finish?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How Brett like called my old, my old, uh, my old manager, David Mormon. Uh, so for those of you guys listening and, and, or watching, uh, David Mormon, uh, was my old agent from 2001 or two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was cool for me to see all the people that you reached out to, Brett.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, that I hadn't talked to in years, people at Honda, like Ray Blank, uh, the president of American Honda at the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, my old agent, David Mormon, David Mormon, uh, worked for an agency. He had an agency out of Orlando. They actually represented, uh, myself and Bubbs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For a little bit of time, just a little short time with, with, with Bob's, but, uh, for me, basically, you know, for a long time, seven years or so, uh, but it was just cool to listen to the stories. Chuck Miller being one guy, Gary Christopher from, from Honda as well. I mean, basically.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You talked, you basically talked to everyone, all the main B players, except obviously, uh, uh, Mel Harris from Suzuki who had passed away before you had an opportunity to, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To talk to him, but it was cool that everyone was willing to chime in for the most part.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, because I was pretty much sworn to secrecy, uhm, with, with Honda. You know, a lot like the Triumph stuff, you know, like we just were under strict NDAs and, and trying to keep this thing under wrap because the Triumph thing, you know, building something from the ground up,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, making changes on the motorcycles, you know, big changes on the motorcycles took time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you know, so we just, you know, we just weren't at liberty to talk and they had a whole rollout plan. Uhm, very similar in its own way. When I left Cowie going to Honda, they wanted it to be a massive secret. And if you go back to that year,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, from 2001 to 2002 series, I mean, factory Honda, I mean, they rolled out the, you know, the, the checkbook for racing in all forms, whether it's road or motocross. I mean, dude, we had myself, uh, Nathan Ramsey, we had Ernesto Fonseca, um, I, I


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did Tortelli, I can't remember. I think Tortelli was our teammate also.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, if he wasn't, then, then I'm a, I'm a spoken. And then you go on the road race side, what they had the Bostrom brothers, they had Nikki Hayden. I mean, dude, it was just absolutely slammed and they had been on the dry spell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For quite some time, basically, at least on the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Motocross side since MC left. So they were, uh, they were really ready to, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roll it out. And luckily it worked out for all of us. Uh, but yeah, it was just, they wanted to keep everything quiet. And I think there, there was a respect factor there. Like, you know, they didn't want to poo poo all over, all over Cali, but the crazy thing is an RV, this is, I don't know if you've been in this, this spot. Um, and I know I'm kind of bouncing all around here, but dude, like Cali never.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If my mind serves me right, I don't like, Cali never gave me an offer to, to like stay with them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's really, it's really weird. I had a, uh, yeah, like I had a conversation, uhm, with someone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of my bosses at Cali, uh, at Vegas Supercross inside the semi.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I said, hey, this is what I'm, you know, I just wanted to let you know this is what I'm gonna do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, like, dude, it was kind of an easy decision, RV, because I didn't have anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they're like, hey man, what can we do to keep you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To where you were forced to make that hard call, like, hey man, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yamaha's coming at me, or Honda's coming at me, I mean, was there ever-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, hey, throwing it out there. I like the kid. I want him to succeed over there. And there's some guys at Red Bull, KTM, a few guys that I've worked with in the past that I would love to see have some success.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It just dude, I mean, RV, you know better than anyone. It's, it's so hard and I don't know that the grass is going to be greener. I think maybe mentally it will be good. Like, like, like RV has said, and it's just like, wow, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look how good it was when Eli went to, to Monster Energy Star Yamaha. I never anticipated that success, ever. But, you know what? If, if, if that is the difference maker,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then you know what? Time will tell and we will find out. And I think we will know early on. I think we talked here on Title 24.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably months back, RV, what, like, we're, we're going to know about round five of Supercross, where, where they're at, dude, and-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll hear, I mean, we talk about Jett so much. I mean, listen, dude, he is one of those riders. He is special. His results speak for themselves. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not like, like Chase is lining up against a dude that is like just a normal guy. You know, if, if Jet and his stats are showing and Brett, you would know more to this because, uh, uh, your relationship with King of the Calculator. I mean, you're not just racing a normal guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So is, is the, you know, the switch with Chase going from Honda to KTN, was it a good switch for him? Possibly, but will we ever be able to see that materialize?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who knows? Time's only gonna tell because he's, he's racing what could be one of the best guys to ever do it. He's got a long way to go to prove that and build those numbers up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm, I'm, I'm just saying he has the pedigree and it looks like he has a pedigree to do that. So it's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chase that I really admire him for is the guy never, ever, ever gives up. I mean, every time he would get up, come back swinging, he's positive. And, uh, you know, he's going to have to have that mentality for the rest of his career. A hundred percent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, time's going to tell and I mean, I hope, I hope it goes good for him. I really do cause I want to see a damn good battle. Uh, but it's just, I think for someone like for RV and I, RV, I don't want to speak for you, but I feel like you probably have the same mindset here. It's just like, we've been in it for so long. It's like, okay, well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was racing Reedy at the time, like Bubbs wasn't quite there yet. So I'm like, dude, if I'm on similar equipment as, as Reedy, I feel like I can get him, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Raj was telling me like, Hey dude, the engine package is a spitting, a spitting image of the Yamaha, the YZ250.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's what kind of gave me, you know, gave me clarity in my decision. Was it, was it risky? Of course it was by not writing it, but if I did the most of my homework that I could have possibly done without writing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Behind the scenes and asking questions like that. Hey, what kind of tires can we use? Will we have the availability to use Bridgestone?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know you have a deal with Dunlop now, but can we go, can we go there? Yeah, no problem RC. Okay. What about, what about suspension? Can we do Showa? Can we do KYB?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so I had did as much as I could possibly do without writing it, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, like Ryan said, and we'll move on to the next one, I mean, RV said it perfectly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you wanna win, you gotta spend the money to do it and you have to make the changes, uh, you're wi- willing to make.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To win, you know, and if, if you got a ruffle feathers and you know what, the team is sponsored by Dunlop and you know what? Bridgestone is the best. You know what? It's up to Raj to make that uncomfortable call.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what? And, and Raj did it and he, he will do that. Now I will say,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And RV, you know this better than anyone. They're gonna, they're, they're going to let Chase make some calls. I'm sure that they will.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We gave you rope. We let you do things the way you wanted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you better put up when, when they give you that opportunity. Cause if you don't, then you're screwed. Then you're playing to their beat the rest of, the rest of the partnership. Yep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Cooper, I think he did well, uh, on the last race, a little more super crossy. I think leaving, leaving, uh, KTM and switching to another manufacturer, uh, I do think that he's in a better place mentally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just think it's going to take time. I just think Cooper is one of those guys where if you give him a little bit, he's going to keep getting better and better and better. And sometimes it only takes just a little bit to get him going, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel, you know, it's gonna certainly be helpful in this offseason to spend some time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like that team is going to give him what he needs. He knows where his bike needs to be and he'll go to work. Dude, he's consistent. Uhm, if he starts getting good starts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He'll figure it out. I feel like that. I think he's earned that right. He's a two time super class champ and until he gives us a reason to not believe in him, I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's incredible. Yeah, incredible analysis. You're exactly right. I didn't think of that. That is, that is awesome insight. Yeah, he's got.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now that you've said that and like open, open the door, I'm like, oh dude, he, he does need to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's got to step it up. Do you think, and then we'll move on to the next, we'll let Brett move on to the next one. RV, I feel like he is one of those guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That if he can hop behind him and practice or like say a heat race early on in the season, learn that pace. Do you feel like?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He will have what it takes to make that next step and run that intensity, run that pace or not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, he is more calculated, he's smoother, he's less riskier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For sure. I think, uh, in some regards that is, that is helpful on the 450 as far as raw speed and willing to hang it out. I feel I back up RV and echo what he is saying. Like you're going to have to do that. I feel like with chase and jet and even Eli.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, like, we haven't talked about Eli much, uh, to do not sleep on this guy's skills. I mean, he...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has been special and I feel like, you know, maybe, maybe that injury was a blessing. I feel like he's gonna have a new found energy. He's certainly gonna be rested.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, so I think his biggest, I think his biggest challenge is going to be intensity and being willing to hang it out. I think he's a podium guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, that 450 class, I mean, if you can get a good start.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And run up front early and have some intensity early. You can, you can run up, you can, you can be top five. Uhm, I think ability, he's easily top five. I think on a good night. Uhm, and when I say good night, you know, like assuming that Jett doesn't run up front and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kenny doesn't run up front, Chase doesn't run up front, Eli doesn't run up front, like, podium's not gonna be easy for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, he has the ability to do it, but he's, he's gonna have to hang it out. Uhm, but I mean, it's gonna be fun to see for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We talked about this, uh, RV and I did about a month ago when we heard some rumblings about, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is Ferrandes gonna get re-signed? Do they take Justin Cooper? I think from a business sense, I think that Monsters, uh, star Yamaha did a really good job at taking Justin Cooper. Uh, he's won a couple titles. So has Dylan Ferrandes. But I think from a business side of things,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, that, that was the better move for that race team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like Justin Cooper, what he brings to the table. I think he'll be, uh, low maintenance for the most part.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you have two star guys like, uh, Cooper Webb and Eli Tomac, um, not that those two guys are egomaniac, egomaniacs, but they are super competitive. They're both two time monster energy super cross champs. So, uh, those, those are, uh, those are some household name guys and they demand a certain amount of, um, respect. Um, they've certainly earned that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they expect a certain amount of, of support, technically.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I think so. I like what Justin Cooper brings. I was extremely impressed. Take the whoops out of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I think he would, he would have done even, even better, but he did really good. If you were to go back, he came like round five and Houston, I think was his first race. Guys were already catching their stride and he was easily top 10, you know, like sixth to 10th place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what? I mean, that's right outside. I mean, I don't, I don't see him beating guys. He's not going to be beating guys like Jett and Kenny and he beat Kenny a couple of times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he's, you know, I don't think he's to that level. In the 6th to 10th place, that's nothing to sneeze at in the 450. So I think he's going to do great things. Uhm, I think he's going to be right in that area. He gets good starts. He's consistent. He doesn't ride over the edge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, you know, with a little luck and some improvement in the whoops, I think he'll, I think he'll do well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It'll, uh, it's interesting before we switch gears and go to the 250 class. It's going to be interesting to see where Ferrandus ends up. That's, uh, that's unreal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, you know, I'm not sure about the negotiations and all of all how that went. It's crazy when you think of his accolades on the 250 class, especially in the supercross and then motocross and then he's a premier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, I had heard at some point that maybe HEP, he would land there, Suzuki HEP, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. We'll see. I know he's moved down to, uh, Claremont. So, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There you go. It's gonna be fun. Uh, the 450 stuff. Man, we could sit here and talk about that all day long, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's thank our sponsors, United Motorsports, Foxo USA, and Quadlock K's. Check out United Motorsports.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And of course, quad lock case, we would do the quad lock question of the week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or every episode here on title 24. We've got something special for that this week, by the way. Uh, check them out, man. They are, uh, they're blowing up. They make, they make incredible product.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then of course, Boxo, BoxoUSA.com, uh, incredible tool company, uh, really making it happen. They support all of, uh, Monster Energy, Star Racing, Yamaha. If you're around the pits next year, uh, check out their setups, uh, pretty cool. Just go on their site.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, they have a lifetime guarantee, super easy process.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and you can get 10% off all site-wide at Boxo, at Quadlock, at United Motorsports, uh, with the title 24, uh, is the promo code for 10% off, uh, site-wide. So we, we appreciate, uh, everyone. Um, I want to bring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Brett back in, and Brett, you know what dude, you-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're not done yet. We're going to go silly season and talk about 250, but every week here on title 24, we do a quad lock question of the week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To uh, you know what dude, you are the lucky winner of the Quadlock merch. I know how, listen dude, I know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] RV, did you see where they, the, uh, clubMX team signed, signed J-Mart, like, three year deal?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's a tough competitor. He's had a lot of success, but man, he has had a rough go at it the last several years. So gnarly, gnarly injuries. And I don't know, man, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We go back to when RV, you talk about the speed, especially in that 450 class and the intensity. I mean, if he's not willing to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] to take that risk. And I think it's a risk for him at his age. It's going to be tough in that 250 class. And uh, I just, where he's at,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that you know he just needs to rely on his experience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And just be happy with wherever he finishes, you know, up front, if he can, if he can, if he can run up front at times and be on the podium, collect a win here or there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're damn right it would be, especially RV, after coming off some gnarly injuries, dude, the back end. Remember at Mighty Creek when he collided with Cooper, that took a while, uhm, and then-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, so I, I, I love, I love what you say about that. Yeah, definitely realistic expectations too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, listen, you guys know I don't like making predictions, but that's gonna be tough, dude. I mean...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This 450 class in general is gonna be tough and it goes back to what RV was saying about expectations and risk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you won, you frickin won races and you knew that it would be a massive payout.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right. Everyone watching and listening to Title 24 right now or RV is saying like we both had the same mindset, dude, we're going to go out here. We're going to win every race or as many as we can. We're going to win as many titles as we can. We're going to get in and we're going to get out and try to get out and be here as minimal as possible. So now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Take a career. You're making, you know, 10 to 20 million bucks, okay? We did it in 10 years. Now, maybe there are some guys doing that, but they're, they're prolonging it. They're having more fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he don't have a manager, so that's 10% minimum savings, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's certainly, I mean, that Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki team, RV, they figured something out. I would say the last four Pro Motocross races, all for majority, most of the guys were running up front, top 10, they were all inside the top 10 on starts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that 250 class, if they're getting good starts, most of the time, that's a reflection on how good the bike is performing from an engine standpoint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, he, he was great, uhm, in this promoter cross, uhm, playoffs. He almost won the, uh, world championship in the 250 division.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I'm interested to see if that, uh, HRC Honda 250 is gonna perform at the level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, if it's not working and performing as well as the Cowie was, uh, but I like that he ended on a good note.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's a new fresh sheet of paper. He's been there before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and he's, he's near out and he's around some guys that, uh, he enjoys being around. They have the same manager and all that fun stuff. So I think the synergy and the vibe will be good for him. Uh, I just wonder what it's going to be like if the bike isn't quite, quite as good and, and see how he reacts to it. That's my mindset on Joe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You remember back in the day, uhm, you know, dude, if you got hired by Honda,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You were there to win championships, not there to get second, not there to get third. And to, to RV's point, he is, he is being hired to go clean up in that 250 division.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's gonna be fun to watch. It's gonna be hard because you know, you know who he's gonna be battling against. So, and he's only gonna be better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he needs to improve on, uh, on obviously his finishes last year, or this, this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, I'm expecting a lot more out. What I can't understand and it's so hard for me to fathom is how, when he gets the whole shot, he normally wins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's, he's some way, somehow maybe it's, it's looking at a different color fender.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He somehow has to, has to find it within himself and only he's the one that knows why he's not performing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To the level that he is expected to perform at is he's gotta figure out a way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To, if you start fifth or you start eighth, you've got to find your way up to at least the podium. You can't continue to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get the whole shot when, and then if you don't get the whole shot, you get eighth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you, you can't, you can't raise the speed of where you're around. So only he knows what, uh, where he needs to be better. So that's what I'm looking for, uh, in Levi Kitchen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's on a great, uh, he's on a great program. Um, RV, I mean, RV and I both have great relationships with Mitch. Uh, we had a lot of success with Mitch. Mitch is not going to let that kid fail. And I think there's a side there. If you ever hire a star athlete and you're able to get them to your program,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know there's a little extra, you just have to think there's an extra incentive to say like, hey,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what? I brought this guy over from Star who, you know, they are known to have the best team, 250 team for sure, for many years in the paddock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think like Mitch would want to have massive success with Levi. So that's what I'm looking for, uh, in Levi, uh, for 2024.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want to, food for thought for Maximus Bolin is dude, he was thrown into the hornet's nest. I mean, the guy was like outside the top 10 at many Olympics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, and that's in November. The next thing, he came out and practiced, he was doing well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he, he had a gnarly crash and a small set of whoops. And uhm, from that point on,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I feel like KTM got impatient with him because he didn't get the results that they were expecting, but that's not a fair ask in my opinion from Red Bull KTM. I mean, dude, you...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He wasn't ready to be there in the first place. He should have got his feet wet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? And, and, and had some more experience, but unfortunately he didn't and you guys put him in that position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it takes an incredible amount of fortitude and mental strength.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, physical strength to pull yourself out of that hole.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, RV? And I mean, very rarely do you see guys be able to do this, right? Where they're just in the dirt and then they just claw their way out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only a couple guys, like Zach Osborne is a great example of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I just feel like they put him in a screwed position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now you know, like maybe this fresh start will be the start that he was needing four years ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so that's where I actually feel bad for him in that regard because I just feel like he was put in a spot that he didn't need to be in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I don't know, hopefully this new, uh, this new color will work for him. I hope for Mitch's standpoint, it works for him and, and for, for Maximum himself, because if you watch him, he's really talented on the motorcycle. He does some killer stuff on the bike.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I was, you know, kind of like watching the results at the mini Olympics and then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do we show up to Endy for the first East Coast round of Supercross? And I heard that he was gonna race. I'm like, what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, if you're gonna do that, in my opinion, if you're gonna do that, you gotta have some patience and grace with the dude. That's what I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I liked what I saw from him in the SMX playoffs. Uhm, it finally seemed like, it was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So to what Ryan you're saying is like, okay, now he can see where he needs to be. He wrote excellent at, uh, at Charlotte being up in that mix.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's had some injuries, but I hope that he does well. I don't know how that bike is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That 250 is over at, uh, Trolley Designs Red Bull Gas Gas Machine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but I hope the best for him, just cause you think about it. I mean, ever since he was a little kid on Cobras and then he went, is under that team green umbrella, his whole career, the entirety of his career.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was weird to see that relationship end. I thought that, uhm, it was a shock to me. I didn't even know it like, when I heard about it, I'm like, wait, what? I can't believe that, uh, Cowie would have let him go like that. But, I mean, listen, I don't, I don't know the details of it. It was sad to see the relationship end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like Ryder as a person. I think he is very polite. He's always been kind. He's always been kind to me. He has no reason to be. And how can you not want to see someone like that succeed, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, listen dude, I had some rough years in 99 and in 2000, like the premiere Supercross, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, class, it was, it was rough, like, questioning, like, dude, maybe I'm just a 250 guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or 125 guy, you know, it's like my mechanic used to mess with me about it. Just like, like teasing me and you know, I had to make some changes and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was able to, you know, pick out the points where I needed to improve and my fitness and knowing what I needed from the bike to, to make me feel comfortable to twist the throttle. And I was able to figure that out. And then, then I had success, but of course, I mean, it could have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Went wrong for both of us. That's why, you know, going back to bowling a guy like that, you know, when you get, when you get down,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then they make the jump to the professional level and they don't make that jump quick enough. They don't run up front quick enough and not always do they ever get to that level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or I think, you know, there is something to be said about how fast you get to that level. That's certainly a help. Uhm, yeaah. Alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I mean, I can, I think we can only speculate, but, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, he was, he was in a tough spot from the team perspective and then he had a gnarly injury. That was a brutal get off that he had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, right at the first lap Supercross season this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I don't know. It's gonna be interesting to see where he ends up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, don't, don't ask questions, man. You guys saw the motorcycle at LA, what else do you guys want?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So like I went and did the, uh, the hot lab like, like I was warming up on Fridays. Like let me just go out there and just do the, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do the finish line and all that fun stuff. You needed like, I needed a toe, right? And I'm like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, as soon as I took off, I'm like, oh god, here we go. Like, I'm in mid-air, RV, I'm like, why the hell do I even...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, on, on the 250, but majority of the time has been on the 450, so, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No butterflies, right? No butterflies, I did before I rode on Friday, because I don't ride that much unless I need to have something for triumph, and you know, now that the bikes are coming, and I'll get one here soon, I'll start riding a lot more and go to somebody's house and ride, but yeaah, I've only ridden two times in a year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two months off, three months off, four months. That's when I really start to know my timing. Like my, I notice my timing starts to slip big time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I mean? When you go ride a supercross track, at least at our age now, it's like, and that's what we worked for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? Okay, we're out with our boys on, on, on Friday night. We're going to enjoy ourselves, have a great, great dinner, some wine, whatever it might be. And like, you just, you're like, oh, I'll be okay the next day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you go out there and you ride like, damn, I shouldn't have, I shouldn't have done this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, same, same, uh, again, I mirror what RV said and just, uh, I look forward to, uh, hopefully all these guys have a safe, uh, off season. We get to Anaheim. It's just, uh, right around the corner and, and see how they perform. You know, no, I don't, I have zero speculation until I, I see, I see what they do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and, and, and I hope that, uh, a lot of these writers that have made changes, they find the comfort and the, uh, and the happiness that possibly, uh, that they were looking for. Uh, but nevertheless, uh, Brett, we, uh, we appreciate you. Brett Smith.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From WeWentFast, you guys got, you gotta check it out. He does a great job. Him, himself, and then of course, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The king of the calculator, Clinton Fowler. Uh, Brett, we appreciate your, uh, time today here on Title 24. Thanks guys. Have a great October.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I think next one we should probably do is I think we should do, uh, MXON.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would you say France is probably the favorite? I mean, they're at RNA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You listen to what DeCoster said, you got three guys that won a race. And when you won a race...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, that's, that's, that's something good. They're not going there, they're not hating it. So it'll be, uh, it'll be fun to see, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To Team USA, dude, just go over there. You're gonna have a lot of people in your ear. Just go over there and do what you do. Keep it on two wheels and I guarantee it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You guys will do better than what, uh, most people think that you're going to do. And, and, and really there's no secrets in my mind. I mean, definitely you got to ride fast to win the race, but to, to get a good overall score. I mean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our, our team has the ability to do well if they just keep it upright and, and be as close to the front in their respected division.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, as they could possibly be and maybe they could sneak out to a better, better finish and what people are giving them credit for maybe.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Huh. Like, was uh, it was a dead person or a murdered? Murdered person or?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Adam, what happened when you went back driving, uh, through the neighborhood and saw him? Like, uh, several years later?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, I'm sorry, but did he get, was stuff stolen? This is the worst, this has the potential to be the greatest story in our podcast history.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, then I talked to Jay Money and he said he'll get it back. I'm like, so wait, did someone actually steal something?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, fuckin'. That's, that's good though, you want that dude in the neighborhood to be like, Hell yeah. I'm watchin'.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought it meant somebody got killed there and you take their shoes off and you chuck them up on the wires.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're doing, just let's hold off on the take backs and apologies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is there like a plaque outside there? Should be. We should go put one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, you're uh, you're the worst driver ever, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you're also like, I feel like I've seen you just be like, I can imagine you just going past your exit and being like, that was, that was the exit. Oh yea, that happens a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The pizza, I know, but the pizza never got there on time, did it? Mmm, I mean, I got tips. The tips don't lie. And are you a double, like, are you- Well, tips are mandatory. Do you have the guts to double park and run up in? Or were you like, ah, I don't want to do that, I'm just gonna-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I float through. It's a take back, save it. I float through. Kyle the tool man. I do not know how to drive stick and I will probably never learn unless there's like a job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would love to jump in on the motorcycle thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, gnarly, gnarly downhill hairpins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody in LA knows at least two people that have died on motorcycles. LA's a terrible place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause the lifestyle is like, the traffic here is so garbage that you're like, ooh, motorcycle, I'll just skirt between lanes and like everybody on a motorcycle does it. And then everyone dies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the cops do it too, chips. They fucking like, stroll through and I'm like, alright, what's your big ass motorcycle? Okay, what's your big ass? I love making room for those guys though, cause I'm like, you're not gonna die on my car. The bitch fell off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Isn't that like a classic move? It's like they fucking hate you. They like have a holster with a hammer on the fucking motorcycle and they pull it out and just hammer off your rear view.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I bet you would. That's what I would have. I would have that. I'd have freaking missiles on the side. In, in 7th or 8th grade, we had this like, cool ass gym te- or no, he wasn't even a gym teacher, he was a science teacher.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got himself a ninja, plowed right into the, it was like an off ramp or something like that. Stuck with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, shit, you taught yourself to surf. Killed me much harder. Surf on a sideways motorcycle going 55 miles an hour on asphalt. That's true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Were you like, uh, have you found what you're looking for? Or have you still not found what you're looking for?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they're up there dude. And it's crazy because they still haven't found what they're looking for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But also the edge has, the edge has a sound that I don't think people, like you instantly recognize when it's the edge, but I don't think he gets like the credit that like, you know, is due.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I don't know what that means. Uh, but I will say that I do love the song until the end of the world, I think is what it's called. And I heard it like hella late and I was like, oh, this must be on like the new album. I got to listen to it and couldn't find it and had to dig way back in the crates. Um, yeah, they got some hits. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, kiss me, kill me. He's like, yeah mate, have another shot and fucking shut up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's pretty tight when you have someone who goes, I'm gonna play you what has made me who I am based on you. It's like an honor. Oh man. And I think in that context, the edge must have been like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, protest, baby. Everyone didn't know what was going on. That shit was rock and roll back then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 100%. We all know the one moment that changed everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, who would you guys, what, okay, ready? Who would you guys wanna have over for dinner? And what dish of your mothers would you serve? To be like, this is my best foot forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, she was just like, I'm gonna keep you guys here until you get in a car and drive. I think she was just stoked that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, so if your mom made a steak, who would you want to kick it with? Who would you want to have over at your house for your mom's steak?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I guess I'll have to rock with some of those old school hard shell El Paso tacos. Hey yo! Classics. The meat, the meat seasoning, and just, uh, pick Q-tips brain with a Q-tip. Dang. That's a great call. Yea, just talk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm wondering if, what if he passed on like the shell though and he was like, I'll just make a plate? I think I'd be like, get the fuck out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But here's the thing, when you make those tacos, especially the hard shell, if you've had three or four and like they're breaking and kind of falling out on the plate, then you have your like remnants that you clean up, you, you, you scarf on after.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. We're fuckin' rock and roll. I do have the time to listen to you whine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, absolutely. Uhm, let's see, take, I believe the third thing is compliments. Just want to compliment Blake on his story and being so forthright about how dorky he was with The Edge. Thank you. We appreciate that. Thank you. Uhm, and let's see, I guess I apologize.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I cannot wait to get right into it. So much meat, uh, this week to talk about RV. I know you are going to be on absolute fire. Uh, before we get going again, you can


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have my little makeshift, uh, studio. I am remote yet once again, but this is the last, uh, this is the last time that I'm going to be remote, uh, remote, hopefully.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For a while, my kids have a spring break and I only got a couple more years with them until they're off to college. So, uh, I'm making the best of it. Uh, so we appreciate you guys bearing with us if the audio isn't right, if the lighting isn't right.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, you're my guy. Uh, dude, biggest thing and we're gonna, we're gonna talk about this a little bit later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was good. Uhm, I didn't get there until like right before our production meeting on, on Friday. It was raining cats and dogs. Yes it was. Yeah, unfortunately. But, uh, but I had a nice dinner on Friday night and, uh, it seemed to be a pretty good vibe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've always heard great things about the city. Uh, I heard that some of the racers were pretty stoked on it. I know that AC was by, uh, really, really liking it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but yeaah, dude, the weather turned out right. The venue was cool, it was very similar to Snapdragon. So, yeaah, for all of you guys that went to San Diego Supercross, uh, it was very similar to Snapdragon. Uhm, yeaah, it was good. I think the fans turned out, the weather was pretty grim.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Saturday and you know, some, you know, we rely on a lot of walk up, uh, fans, uh, so that maybe some of the weather, uh, scared some of the riders away, but nevertheless, it was a, a good turnout. They, I feel like, I mean, RV, you've, you've raced on in the Southeast. I feel like those, those fans are pretty, uh, pretty genuine and they're pretty excited. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Hey RV, put yourself in a guy like Eli Tomac shoes, Cooper Webb or Jet Lawrence, all the, all the main beat players, right? So if you were in the latter part of your career, would you be pumped to go to a new venue? Because we haven't been back to, to Birmingham in 40 years. I think the last 40.
