So I had to make a quick down and back trip to Chattanooga this week and figured I’d listen to a podcast or two. Never really listened to one before but heard of the Matthes guy so figured I’d give it a try. Some are pretty entertaining but man, some of the interviews are painful. Not sure why it surprised me but most of those guys I can not answer basic questions, let alone carry a conversation.
The Stanton interview was pretty good. Joking about illegal bikes and parts. Passing it off as “doing whatever it takes to win”.
As I listened it got me thinking about the levels of guys on any given gate. The top guys, The next gen, field fillers and the almost there and how they intertwine or don’t.
The rest of the world falls into the six degrees of separation. In moto it is more like 2 degrees. Most of us know everyone or know someone else who knows everyone. Yet most of us really know nothing of each other outside of moto. Deep, I know…
Matthes and Weigandt were talking about the ‘89 Atlanta race and named a guy they never heard of… Chuck Reed. That kind of surprised me since both of them know several Ohio guys.
Anyway. What podcasts do you follow? Anything more localized? I’d rather listen to an actual racer and not a mechanic and a MX Sports shill
