Speaker 2: About this, right, go ahead, ask me one question, Ask
Speaker 2: whatever you want.
Speaker 1: What do you think they did wrong? You know?
Speaker 2: I think, uh, we need to go in farther into
Speaker 2: this court case, this case before I can really talk
Speaker 2: any further about it. I don't think my lawyers would
Speaker 2: allow me to say at this time, what.
Speaker 1: Do you think about the doctors as a person?
Speaker 5: When I met him I loved him, what about now?
Speaker 2: Uh, I'm My emotion towards him is one of those
Speaker 2: deals where it's just like I'm not angry, I'm just
Speaker 2: really really you know, I'm sad.
Speaker 1: Sad. Yeah, could you say you're disappointed? Yeah? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: am disappointed.
Speaker 5: Wait maybe Thursday, Maybe Thursday, you know what, This Thursday,
Speaker 5: I'll answer more questions you.
Speaker 1: Like, I know you wanted me to, like see if
Speaker 1: I could p r you a little bit. You just
Speaker 1: handle me a little bit. And I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: well questions.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw a little brain work in your mouth.
Speaker 2: Got wheel open. Thanks ever vision.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a wild deal.
Speaker 2: Hopefully it all gets just figured out and it's all
Speaker 2: done and I can I can speak about it more
Speaker 2: because I like people to know what's going on in
Speaker 2: my career.
Speaker 1: I love it there it is, Well, what else is
Speaker 1: going on? Boys? We had the draft?
Speaker 2: Happened, aft happened. Now we got a couple of Titans
Speaker 2: fans in here. I'd like to hear from Garrett and
Speaker 2: Jack how they feel the Tennessee Titans did in this draft.
Speaker 7: I got a question first, and Jack, can we also
Speaker 7: pull up?
Speaker 1: Is it the.
Speaker 6: Dot technical difficulties? Maybe it's time after the adversity you
Speaker 6: work with on the bus. Time time, after three four years,
Speaker 6: we can get a better fucking monitor than this one.
Speaker 7: Maybe my question was gonna be what was it like
Speaker 7: watching the draft not being a part of a team
Speaker 7: the first year.
Speaker 6: That's a good question, not even about the titansies. Yeah,
Speaker 6: flipped it.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 2: To be honest with you, there was so much going
Speaker 2: on at barstool that I was wearing so many hats
Speaker 2: that I chose to wear like I wasn't really even
Speaker 2: supposed to do anything. And then I decided halfway through
Speaker 2: I was going to sit next to Frank and feed
Speaker 2: them hot dogs after every single noise.
Speaker 1: I packed all my game jerseys from all the teams
Speaker 1: I've been on. My Hey, I got this a.
Speaker 5: Little so I had to run run behind the set,
Speaker 5: put a jersey on.
Speaker 1: Run back. Dude.
Speaker 2: Here's how I here's how I feel about that first
Speaker 2: round pick, Peter Scarronsky. I think think this is his time.
Speaker 2: I think I hope to god he has three times
Speaker 2: the career I did. I really do, because like my
Speaker 2: relationship with the Titians is outstanding. Obviously I got cut,
Speaker 2: but like the best thing to do when you enter
Speaker 2: relationship is leave it better than the way you found it.
Speaker 2: And I was able to do that. The last couple
Speaker 2: of years didn't go the way I wanted to individually,
Speaker 2: but at the same time, I like truly want the
Speaker 2: best for that franchise, and I hope, I hope he's
Speaker 2: the answer at left tackle. I mean he might play guard,
Speaker 2: he might play tackle. Who knows where he's gonna go,
Speaker 2: but I know he's walking those sevens. He DMed me
Speaker 2: and asked me for permission to wear the sevens. But
Speaker 2: to go back to your question, Yeah, it was really cool.
Speaker 2: I thought to myself, brother, you and got to ask
Speaker 2: me for nothing. I go take what's yours. You need
Speaker 2: to get him on the bus, yeah, yeah, I talked
Speaker 2: to He's represented by Pat Collins. Yeah, him and Will
Speaker 2: Levis are both represented. Yeah, so we I thought we
Speaker 2: could have them both on the same We need to
Speaker 2: get the boys them. Yeah, I get them on the bus.
Speaker 2: But I'm extremely excited and happy for him as far
Speaker 2: as I my emotion during it, and when that eleven
Speaker 2: pick did happen, it was like.
Speaker 1: I I wasn't sad.
Speaker 2: It was kind of like a tip, like a tip
Speaker 2: of the cap like, I'm this is the end of
Speaker 2: that chapter, and I'm I'm just I'm proud of what
Speaker 2: I was able to accomplish her.
Speaker 1: Kind of a weird coincidence too, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Eleventh overall pick, seventy seven tackle left tackle. It's a
Speaker 2: it's a it's a cool contrast. And I hope that.
Speaker 2: You know, for thirty years, there's been three left tackles
Speaker 2: for the for the Titans and part of the Houston Oilers.
Speaker 2: So for me, it's like, I hope that continues. So
Speaker 2: in forty years, It's like, man, they've had four tackles
Speaker 2: in forty years.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's almost like, uh, the Green bit backers, Brett Farven,
Speaker 6: Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, something like that. I mean, much more valuable positions. Yeah, right,
Speaker 2: without the Super Bowls, but yeah, yeah that's true. I
Speaker 2: can you need to go to Chris if you got
Speaker 2: something going on today, got too much attention on me
Speaker 2: or something like that. But it was cool, man, and
Speaker 2: I was I was very happy. I wanted them to
Speaker 2: get him him or Paris Johnson Junior. Other two picks
Speaker 2: I wanted. Got to be fired up for the boy.
Speaker 2: Paris Johnson six overall player and dude, just give me
Speaker 2: a Cardinals mclap. Let's give him clap, shout out the
Speaker 2: Cardinals at three, trading back, letting whatever happened happened, then
Speaker 2: trading back up to get their guy.
Speaker 1: They played some chess them along with the Houston Texans
Speaker 1: before we move on to the Texans too.
Speaker 6: Like Paris, we were all in a group chat and
Speaker 6: Paris was saying like he wants to go three. Overall,
Speaker 6: we didn't know how healthy that was, of like a guess,
Speaker 6: but he seemed to want to go to Arizona and
Speaker 6: probably when they traded out, they traded back and then
Speaker 6: back up to six, and when they got him, you
Speaker 6: could see that emotion in the uh in the green room.
Speaker 6: That he had to do was fire the fuck up
Speaker 6: that he went to the team that he was sort
Speaker 6: of guessing, like where I'm probably gonna go.
Speaker 1: He did say Cardinals at three, it was Cardinals at six.
Speaker 1: It's all good. Yeah, that's awesome, dude. And he he's
Speaker 1: just a sweet boy. He is. He's just a sweet
Speaker 1: sweep boy.
Speaker 2: Meeting him, being around him. He came to the live
Speaker 2: show when we're in Columbus. The guy is he's just
Speaker 2: a good fucking dude. He'll randomly hit me and Will
Speaker 2: up and just be like, hey, what's up?
Speaker 1: Boys? Did he randomly did he do what we asked?
Speaker 5: Did he did we find out if he said he
Speaker 5: shouted us out.
Speaker 1: On that interview right after the stage, right after the podium.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think no, I don't know about that. It
Speaker 2: was so hard to tell because the barstools were.
Speaker 1: On the barsool thing. There was no volume.
Speaker 6: Yeah, now we're talking about uh, Houston fucking murdered.
Speaker 1: The draft?
Speaker 2: Did Draft Day? They did the movie Draft Day? Incredible? Yeah,
Speaker 2: Will Anderson Junior, c J. Stroud, not in that order,
Speaker 2: c J. Stroud at two. You know, it messed up
Speaker 2: a lot of things.
Speaker 6: I think a lot of teams were Iron Titans.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what we both thought when those rumors started
Speaker 2: happening a couple hours before, because when they picked c J.
Speaker 2: Stroud you like Taylor, it looked at me like I
Speaker 2: had something to do with it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was over there with hot dogs in hand. Yeah,
Speaker 2: just trying to feed Frank the tank, just trying to
Speaker 2: feed his ass.
Speaker 1: But yeah, dude, fuck and you always.
Speaker 2: Want a little bit of chaos during the draft, Like
Speaker 2: that's what we tune in for, and like, because the
Speaker 2: Texans aren't my team, it was cool to see. It
Speaker 2: was cool to fucking watch them pick at two and
Speaker 2: you're like, all right, they got the quarterback, what's gonna
Speaker 2: happen next?
Speaker 6: And all of a sudden they do it again. They
Speaker 6: were nowhere near That was not rumored whatsoever. I think
Speaker 6: that one came out of left field. They really got
Speaker 6: They got it trading up to three. Everybody was talking
Speaker 6: about that three spot, like, who's going to trade up?
Speaker 6: Cardinals are willing to deal? Willing to deal the number
Speaker 6: three overall pick, and uh, you need some water?
Speaker 1: Bum I do?
Speaker 5: I got that thing and I found out the reason
Speaker 5: why I got sick? Will do you want to tell
Speaker 5: him why I got sick? Oh?
Speaker 6: But yeah, that Cardinals pick was up in the air.
Speaker 6: They were open about it. And then everybody's kind of
Speaker 6: wondering who's going to jump up to three. I was
Speaker 6: hoping that the Tidans would jump up to three c J.
Speaker 6: Stroud or Anthony Richardson because I didn't think Houston was
Speaker 6: going to take c J.
Speaker 1: Stroud. When Houston took c J.
Speaker 6: Stroud at number two, I was like, oh fuck, I
Speaker 6: didn't see this coming at all, right, because I thought
Speaker 6: he's wrapped by the same agent as Deshaun Watson. And
Speaker 6: I was out there saying like, there ain't no way
Speaker 6: that that Texas are gonna deal with c. J. Stroud
Speaker 6: when they have that close relationship with Deshaun Watson. Yeah,
Speaker 6: and then when they picked him at two, I was like, Fuck,
Speaker 6: what's gonna happen?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 6: I'm pretty sure a lot of teams thoughts Stroud might
Speaker 6: be there at three. I wonder what teams now are
Speaker 6: out being like, Hey, how are we gonna pivot here?
Speaker 6: And then seeing the Cardinals trade back for Houston trade up, it'say,
Speaker 6: what the fuck is happening? They take Will Anderson Junior,
Speaker 6: which has gotta fire coach, head coach a Deaniko ryans
Speaker 6: up because when you're a head coach and a new
Speaker 6: head coach, it's not like you're sitting here thinking like, oh,
Speaker 6: we need that first overall quarterback. You're in a fucking
Speaker 6: defensive guy. You want that defensive side, that defensive guy,
Speaker 6: that cornerstone, that corner piece, because the chances that Denico
Speaker 6: Ryan's gonna sit there and coach he's a Stroud isn't high,
Speaker 6: so he's excited about it. I want to build whatever
Speaker 6: my reputation is gonna be around a defensive player. So
Speaker 6: they get Stroud and then they get Will Anderson Junior,
Speaker 6: the best defensive player in the draft. Like, hats off
Speaker 6: to the Houston Texas. Then Cardinals trade back. Who picks
Speaker 6: a three Texans?
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, the Colts.
Speaker 6: So the Colts in the AFC South, they get a quarterback,
Speaker 6: Anthony Richardson. Now, if these boys pan out, there's gonna
Speaker 6: be nothing but killers in the FC South. Got Justin Lawrence,
Speaker 6: you got C. J. Stroud and Anthony Richardson. Are my
Speaker 6: question too there in there? Yeah, at this moment in time,
Speaker 6: my question the Titans faithful is what was everybody thinking
Speaker 6: at that moment?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's Trevor Lawrence. I hate that. I have to correct. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I heard that too, and I didn't know what you know,
Speaker 1: I'm stupid. We know him stupid.
Speaker 5: We're not stupid, dude, You just you just get miscombobulated.
Speaker 5: Sometimes you're not dumb. Well, don't talk to yourself like that.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 2: Positive vibe, Yeah, keep the positive vibes. What were you
Speaker 2: guys thinking?
Speaker 7: Well, I got I got another kind of question, and
Speaker 7: it was My thought is if the Titan after seeing
Speaker 7: strougo two and then the Titans don't go to three,
Speaker 7: does that mean that the Titans were not even interested
Speaker 7: in Anthony Richardson?
Speaker 2: But you listen to this here, here's where I think,
Speaker 2: and this is me just playing GM. Texans picked two,
Speaker 2: Houston picked three. They probably was a debate going back
Speaker 2: and forth. You only got ten minutes situation for that,
Speaker 2: and the Texans had more drafting. What's that which is
Speaker 2: all correct? Right, it's all facts. You're right, that's facts.
Speaker 2: That's not being redundant match, that's fucking using my words correctly.
Speaker 2: There was probably there was probably some sort of back
Speaker 2: and forth of who's gonna do what?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: And then Houston Texans had more draft capital than the Titans,
Speaker 2: so they end up winning that battle. Now there's four
Speaker 2: to get Anthony Richardson. Four is the ind Andaupolis Colts.
Speaker 2: The Colts are not going to trade a high draft
Speaker 2: pick to somebody that's in their division. It's not gonna happen.
Speaker 1: Well, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 7: On three for the three spot, is that, like, was
Speaker 7: there hesitation now that the Titans didn't go to three
Speaker 7: because Stroud was gone.
Speaker 1: Like, that's kind of my question.
Speaker 2: I think that goes back to what I said about
Speaker 2: draft capital. I think the Cardinal I'm maybe they tried.
Speaker 2: Let's say they both went in and the Titans called like, hey,
Speaker 2: let us get up there in the Houston and Houston
Speaker 2: called like, Houston's gonna win that battle because they have
Speaker 2: more ammo.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Arizona just didn't call back. Yeah, well yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll get right back.
Speaker 2: Called Houston said yep, you got You've absolutely got it,
Speaker 2: and then treated back up to sixth. Dude, what a
Speaker 2: fucking deal. Seattle playing his day, just fucking David.
Speaker 6: But I love that that Devon Witherspoon pit, that Devin
Speaker 6: Witherspoon pick. That's the dude that plays fucking physical as
Speaker 6: a corner.
Speaker 1: Dude.
Speaker 2: It's crazy that Illinois has these players. It's definitely they
Speaker 2: always have, like a first round draft.
Speaker 1: But they always have something somewhere. When we were in.
Speaker 2: College, it was like they had who's the guy that
Speaker 2: fucking put me in a blender for Houston? Huh oh,
Speaker 2: you're talking about you're talking Whitney merciless.
Speaker 1: Whitney merciless.
Speaker 2: There was like a Buchanan guy that went to the Patriots,
Speaker 2: also first round draft pick. They had a d tackle
Speaker 2: that went first round. This is all like when we
Speaker 2: were in college. Out there, Dustin dude, Illinois, Like, why
Speaker 2: can't they get their ship together?
Speaker 1: Right? They can't.
Speaker 7: Always had a little running back too weirdly had like
Speaker 7: a decent running back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they can't win games? How many games did
Speaker 2: Illinois win last year?
Speaker 1: Jack?
Speaker 6: Well enough? I think they were. They were a tough team.
Speaker 6: Now we were right in Illinois, like bet the bus, Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think so?
Speaker 6: Did they Did they fire their head coach? No, he's
Speaker 6: a staple. Yeah, it's a Bilma. He's building that culture
Speaker 6: off the run game and defense and Witherspoon. He will
Speaker 6: knock your dick in the dirt. He is the light.
Speaker 6: He is the type of corner that you won on
Speaker 6: your team. I think he's I think he's a stud.
Speaker 6: But look, boys were eight and five. We talk about
Speaker 6: now annoyers out there moving, They're making moves. They almost
Speaker 6: run the Beay ten championship. Scroll down a little bit.
Speaker 6: There they are Nebraska. Come on, disrespect my boys. You
Speaker 6: know we got a new there they are three and
Speaker 6: you know we got a new regime right now.
Speaker 5: New regime and a whole lot of room for improvement.
Speaker 6: Which we are improving. You saw Casey Thompson. He's not
Speaker 6: winning the job coming out of the spring game or
Speaker 6: coming out of spring ball. He's transferring, he answered the
Speaker 6: transfer portal. Casey Thompson did that the kid we interviewed. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 6: he's transferred again. Yeah, because he's not gonna win the job.
Speaker 6: Uh that that QB that transferred to dude, that quarterback
Speaker 6: that transferred up from Georgia Tech. Apparently he's playing some
Speaker 6: good ball out there from Georgia Tech.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, he's a beast. Yeah, he's playing He's a
Speaker 1: beast like that, apparently playing some good ball.
Speaker 6: So he coach Coach Rule had a conversation with Casey
Speaker 6: was you know, he just had to have like a
Speaker 6: heart to heart about what the opportunity is going to
Speaker 6: look like?
Speaker 2: Yeah, what are Casey's opportunities are going to look like?
Speaker 2: You transferred because he did. He didn't win a job, right,
Speaker 2: so he left. Uh yeah, they were going to compete
Speaker 2: in fall camp. I want to say Casey was, uh
Speaker 2: was uh where he was before Nebraska Texas Texas? Right,
Speaker 2: and he was he did not sniff the starting role there.
Speaker 6: Well, he sniffed it, but he got he lost out
Speaker 6: on the job going into that.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he was the the middle of the year, right,
Speaker 7: He was the dude until halftime of the Oklahoma game.
Speaker 7: And then that's when Caleb Williams became Caleb Williams.
Speaker 1: That's right? Is that right? And then he leaves, no,
Speaker 1: that's not right william Us Oklahoma. Yeah's glome.
Speaker 6: You're talking about Spencer Rattler. I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 6: He got hurt right right right?
Speaker 2: You at Nebraska and then you don't you want to
Speaker 2: get in the transfer portal. I'm not saying anything against Nebraska.
Speaker 2: That's a second transfer, Like, where's he gonna go next?
Speaker 6: I think what sucks for him to play you, to
Speaker 6: play Devil's advocate. I think what sucks for him is
Speaker 6: I think he was recovering from a shoulder injury. You
Speaker 6: get a whole new coaching staff that comes in. They
Speaker 6: got their guy and who's a Justin Simms who came
Speaker 6: up from Georgia Tech.
Speaker 1: Apparently he's a little bit of a baller.
Speaker 6: So coach I did just let him know, like, hey,
Speaker 6: it's gonna be a competition, and Casey probably just didn't
Speaker 6: like hearing that it was gonna be competitive and he
Speaker 6: was gonna start off as number two. They probably just
Speaker 6: jumped in that portal because you got one more year
Speaker 6: to make it shake, brother, make.
Speaker 1: Shake, make make it shake.
Speaker 9: Man.
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens. We'll see what happens.
Speaker 2: Shout out, shoutout Illinois dude for really bringing it in,
Speaker 2: bringing it home.
Speaker 6: Yeah, bring up that draft, bring up that first round again. Hey,
Speaker 6: but the boys, how do we feel about Will Levis?
Speaker 6: Let's ask the This is where you guys need to answer.
Speaker 6: We need the Titans fans. Jack McPherson, Garrett Hargus, now
Speaker 6: something think about Jack with Fierson. Dude, his his twitter
Speaker 6: got hacked after the eleventh overall pick. Bro to the
Speaker 6: Tesse Titians, he said, thank god it wasn't Will Levis.
Speaker 6: You didn't say that, No, it was.
Speaker 5: The first round.
Speaker 10: Someone got access to my twitter there between the lot
Speaker 10: of Will Elevis slander, I don't know who it is
Speaker 10: to day, but yeah, you know, I'm kind of indifferent
Speaker 10: on the situation. We'll just kind of have to see
Speaker 10: what is I think there's promise in him, but I've
Speaker 10: got a few friends online. I'm not gonna say their
Speaker 10: names specifically, but they're like hell bent that he's gonna
Speaker 10: be winning US championships, and look, I want us to
Speaker 10: win championships. But I'm also gonna be realistic, like Will
Speaker 10: Levis is most likely not gonna be that guy, and
Speaker 10: if he is, I will retract my statement, eat my words,
Speaker 10: and shake his hand because I hope that he's gonna
Speaker 10: be the guy for us. But now we have three
Speaker 10: fucking quarterbacks on our roster. We're spending thirty million plus
Speaker 10: with no guarantees on any of them. We drafted another
Speaker 10: running back. I'm like very up in arms a little
Speaker 10: bit about our draft. I love Can I think he's
Speaker 10: gonna be a great pick for us. I wanted Paris.
Speaker 10: Obviously he fell sooner. His draft stock was way too
Speaker 10: high to drop to eleven. But I'm I just feel
Speaker 10: like we're filling gaps where we didn't need to fill them,
Speaker 10: and like we need to. We need to figure out
Speaker 10: these problems that we have that are existent in terms
Speaker 10: of our starting quarterbacks. Where we're gonna go in terms
Speaker 10: of our running backs, if Derek's gonna still be there,
Speaker 10: we got to fill out our line. Skorronski's obviously a
Speaker 10: great start. But again, I'm not I'm not a draft
Speaker 10: like analyst. Guys, so is will LEVI is this.
Speaker 1: I do love this conversation. Speaking as a fan, that's beautiful.
Speaker 1: This speak your truth, Jack.
Speaker 5: I think I'm a lot more happy though, Just.
Speaker 2: Can I interrupt the only thing? Hey, I'm so glad
Speaker 2: you went in that because he was on rapping. Well,
Speaker 2: I want him to continue to I want him to
Speaker 2: continue to talk. But you're like, you know, we got
Speaker 2: these problems at running back number one. I think they
Speaker 2: took a kid third round. Yeah, from it seems to
Speaker 2: be a beast. They're gonna have Derek, So let's just
Speaker 2: say running back is fine.
Speaker 1: O line. Yeah, they have holes.
Speaker 6: I think they did a good job addressing it by
Speaker 6: drafting Peter Scronsky, who seems like a stud out of
Speaker 6: Northwestern Taylor, Like Taylor, that's your face, that was your
Speaker 6: favorite tackle going.
Speaker 1: He's the most well rounded offensive line in.
Speaker 6: A lot of people are saying like this is this
Speaker 6: is gonna be a guy that coaches love to have
Speaker 6: because as far as technique, knowing how to do it
Speaker 6: and all that shit, he's very polished. All he needs
Speaker 6: to do is learn the playbook. He's gonna hit the
Speaker 6: ground running. Seems like a good pick. Seems like he's
Speaker 6: gonna pick up the playbook being in Northwestern guy now.
Speaker 6: But then you you make it seem like they address
Speaker 6: those problems. Are you talking about on the outside steal position?
Speaker 10: No, I just said I love the Skronsky pick. I
Speaker 10: was really hoping we were gonna take some kind of lineman.
Speaker 10: I did not want some like big time player CJ.
Speaker 10: Stroud first pick. We have so many holes in our
Speaker 10: offensive line right now that we have to address that,
Speaker 10: and I'm I love that. I wish we could have
Speaker 10: gotten Paris just from a personal tie, but I think
Speaker 10: Scarrotsky could be the long term.
Speaker 1: What don't you like about Levis?
Speaker 5: Everything? Dude?
Speaker 1: He was you know, he's gonna be on the bus soon.
Speaker 10: This will be yeah, I know, and I have nothing
Speaker 10: against him. Was like, look, he was SEC East guy.
Speaker 10: We played him against Tennessee. We absolutely donkeyed them. Will
Speaker 10: Levis is like he was a He was a pretty
Speaker 10: decent quarterback for the SEC. But like, nothing crazy. I
Speaker 10: just feel like this's like a lot of outspoken things.
Speaker 10: He says and like there's like weird, there's like, yeah,
Speaker 10: I don't mayo and coffee.
Speaker 5: Obviously that's way like that shouldn't be a thing.
Speaker 10: But I'm not like, I'm not gonna be like he
Speaker 10: puts mayo on his coffee, like, no, you'll never play
Speaker 10: in the NFL.
Speaker 1: I don't care.
Speaker 10: But at if we taken him in the first round,
Speaker 10: I would have been devastated because the draft stock way
Speaker 10: too low to be going first round, second round. I
Speaker 10: guess the trade up's still not sure if we made
Speaker 10: the right decision.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 5: I'm not an analyst.
Speaker 10: I'm just gonna sit back and let time tell if
Speaker 10: this was a good pick. And again, I'm a Titans fan,
Speaker 10: so I hope that Will Levis pans out to be
Speaker 10: a long term guy for us. I don't know if
Speaker 10: you will, but I hope he comes on the bus
Speaker 10: and we can talk it over and he can change
Speaker 10: my mind on him as a person. But as of
Speaker 10: right now, I love Scarnsky and that's kind of where
Speaker 10: I stand.
Speaker 1: I got a U Okay, good question. I fucking love Jack.
Speaker 1: Did Jack's out there?
Speaker 5: And person, I see where you're coming from.
Speaker 7: Do you feel a little bit that it was kind
Speaker 7: of karmado. No, no hold on, Well, that kind of
Speaker 7: answers for the whole state of Tennessee being Titans and
Speaker 7: Balls fans that they now have to root for like
Speaker 7: somebody that they didn't like.
Speaker 1: I just fair question, fair question. Question. Question is if
Speaker 1: they would have took Hooker.
Speaker 10: No, I I I would prefer Will Levis over Hooker.
Speaker 10: He seems like a more go ahead. I said this
Speaker 10: on Twitter, and this this isn't a like I. I
Speaker 10: just don't know if I would have taken a quarterback
Speaker 10: too when we have a lot of other issues at hand.
Speaker 10: So I hope he pans out. And no, I don't
Speaker 10: think it's it's karma. I do think it's hilarious that
Speaker 10: in the first round everyone's like, fuck, yeah, we evaded
Speaker 10: Will Levis, and then second round second.
Speaker 2: Rate up immediately straight up, and we see now there
Speaker 2: were a lot of rumors that the Titans, along with
Speaker 2: other teams, were fiercely trying to trade up into the
Speaker 2: late first round to take Will Levis. Really yes, because
Speaker 2: everybody wants that fifth year option on a quarterback, sure,
Speaker 2: and so you're taking him at thirty three as opposed
Speaker 2: to thirty two.
Speaker 1: Or twenty nine or something like that.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of there's a lot of gift there
Speaker 2: because because it gives him time to develop, you don't
Speaker 2: have to pay on those big bucks and put people
Speaker 2: around him. So how mad would you be if the
Speaker 2: Titans rate it into the first round.
Speaker 5: I'm not doing heat like you know, hyperpotheticals.
Speaker 1: Yeah you road my fucking bad.
Speaker 5: It was the podcast not talking, but yeah, I fucked
Speaker 5: that ship.
Speaker 1: Dude.
Speaker 2: Never mind, I don't do hypothetical.
Speaker 10: I do hope that Will Loves comes on the bus
Speaker 10: room because he seems like a guy that people are
Speaker 10: gonna want to hear about, and I do too. I
Speaker 10: want to hear what he has to see. You want
Speaker 10: to change your mind on him as a person?
Speaker 6: Yeah, that a person. You see him get hype when
Speaker 6: he got announced that.
Speaker 5: He was with the family.
Speaker 10: He Yeah, it seems like he's got a lot of heart,
Speaker 10: and so I hope he does well again. I'm not
Speaker 10: gonna say anything else like after today about it until
Speaker 10: we see him play and we just have like what
Speaker 10: are we gonna do with my leak? Like Night Night
Speaker 10: the Dog. I'm sorry, but you're gone. We we can't
Speaker 10: have three of these QBS on the roster.
Speaker 1: Like, right, you can, right, but you but you don't.
Speaker 6: You don't want to dress three if you don't have
Speaker 6: to eat, and I don't think we will.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Usually you don't.
Speaker 5: Those are the new rules of dressing people. Yeah, probably
Speaker 5: what I'm saying. Yeah, usually you don't. Yeah, dude, I
Speaker 5: think he was the third on pick. He seems like
Speaker 5: a project.
Speaker 6: There's a lot of headlines and stories out there on
Speaker 6: that the Titans are kind of giving up on him.
Speaker 6: Don't know how true that is. I see the headlines
Speaker 6: after everybody else, and I do not read the articles.
Speaker 1: I just like to assume right, right, right right.
Speaker 6: But you know, it's like it's the fucking game, dude.
Speaker 6: I'm sure he was sitting there hoping that the Titans
Speaker 6: don't take a quarterback. Being in that spot, you hope
Speaker 6: they don't fucking draft your position. Seems like on the
Speaker 6: draft board it was working out for the Titans. They
Speaker 6: wanted to move up and get Will Levis because they
Speaker 6: saw something in him that they like, and he gets picked.
Speaker 6: It's like you see the fucking ticker, You're like, son
Speaker 6: of a bitch, But you know, I don't.
Speaker 2: Know what happens. It's up to him. It's up to him,
Speaker 2: truly up to him. Like it's up to him what happens.
Speaker 2: Because if there's no if there's no dead cap for
Speaker 2: Ryan Tannehill and they don't owe him any any money. Literally,
Speaker 2: the Titans hope that Will Levis is good enough to
Speaker 2: cut Ryan Tannehill correct that they hope that's.
Speaker 6: The business zooming out. You hope that Levis or Maleik
Speaker 6: either one again, they're gonna be competing for the backup job.
Speaker 6: It's Ryan Tannel's job this year. Yes, they're gonna be
Speaker 6: competing for the backup job. And you hope that one
Speaker 6: of those guys show you that, all right, we'll be
Speaker 6: able to move on with one of these quarterbacks. It's
Speaker 6: not like they're crowning Will Levis as the successor of
Speaker 6: Ryan Tannehill. They see something in him that they can
Speaker 6: help the football team, like right now or in in
Speaker 6: the future. That's why they drafted him. They also thought
Speaker 6: the same thing with Maliku last year. They're not saying
Speaker 6: that they don't not believe in him anymore. That's why
Speaker 6: they drafted Will Levis. But now you've got two young
Speaker 6: quarterbacks who can compete for that job and hoping that
Speaker 6: they can overtake Ryan next year so that way they
Speaker 6: can cut him and relieve themselves of cap space.
Speaker 1: That's like the fucking business. I think he's like the
Speaker 1: last year on Ryan's on contract, right it is.
Speaker 6: They're not even anymore, no matter what. Yeah, exactly, you
Speaker 6: hope you want to move on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you hope to god that as if you're the
Speaker 2: Titans organization that Will Levis shows enough improvement. Maybe, depending
Speaker 2: on where you are from a record standpoint, later in
Speaker 2: the season, you take Tannehill out, you put him in
Speaker 2: getting that experience, because if he's gonna be your guy,
Speaker 2: you need to know right away, right depending on where
Speaker 2: the Titans are at, like, might draft another one.
Speaker 6: If they're winning and they're fucking leading to the vision
Speaker 6: and all that, Yeah, they might draft the dude.
Speaker 2: If the Titans do not do well, let's say they
Speaker 2: have a top ten pick, they might have to draft.
Speaker 2: Depending on Will Levis, they might have to draft another one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you never know. You never know, and then you're hoping.
Speaker 6: You're hoping one of them do does spand out though,
Speaker 6: because they're on their rookie deal. You want to take
Speaker 6: advantage of building around your future quarterback when they're on
Speaker 6: a rookie deal, not some break the bank second contract.
Speaker 1: But yeah, man, I do really like interesting.
Speaker 10: I like the running back Spears apparently he's a feisty dude.
Speaker 5: And I really like the tight end pick.
Speaker 10: So Garrett really wanted Michael mahor you go on Garrett's
Speaker 10: Twitter is Michael Marhr's stand account?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that bro.
Speaker 5: But Michael Meher going to the Raiders that that should
Speaker 5: be funny.
Speaker 1: Well, sorry for the boys of Silver and Black because they.
Speaker 10: Got they got a lot of spots to fill for
Speaker 10: tight End right now.
Speaker 2: He's got that hgh head too. He's got a big
Speaker 2: Michael Merhor.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got that. Johnny should be on that dude.
Speaker 1: He's a brandy guy. Exactly. He did.
Speaker 6: I'm sure he was up there on their board, you
Speaker 6: know what I mean. Yeah, like Michael Mayer was up
Speaker 6: there probably on everybody's board. I'm fired up that the
Speaker 6: Silver and Black got him because they lost Darreon Waller
Speaker 6: and now they got Michael Mayer, who I think is
Speaker 6: gonna hit the gound running because he just seems like
Speaker 6: that kind of dude.
Speaker 2: And Foster going back to uh, Taj Spears. Did you
Speaker 2: see all the reports coming on by his knees. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he got he's got some shaking ees apparently now I
Speaker 2: got that shake, you got that shake you and all
Speaker 2: this stuff. Apparently at the combine he almost didn't pass
Speaker 2: physicals or didn't pass physical as one of the two.
Speaker 1: This is allegedly. I don't you know. I'm like you.
Speaker 2: I saw the tweet and I happen to make it
Speaker 2: through a one hundred and forty four characters. One hundred
Speaker 2: and forty characters. But that's all I fucking saw, dude,
Speaker 2: is it here?
Speaker 6: I'm just game changing running back who's also effective at
Speaker 6: catching the ball. That's just something that we need to
Speaker 6: have effective catching the ball in the backfield.
Speaker 1: Does that mean Hilliard's going to be able to handle
Speaker 1: a lot of carries at the next level?
Speaker 6: Gone, I'm telling you, like you, it's not like every
Speaker 6: rookie is expected to they are expected to contribute in
Speaker 6: some way.
Speaker 2: Dude, Hilliard is a core four guy. He could easily
Speaker 2: go step in on kickoff, kick off return, punt, punt return,
Speaker 2: all that.
Speaker 6: Nature of the business. Yeah, that running back was there
Speaker 6: on their board and when they wanted to have it
Speaker 6: mixed running backs now, yeah, they got a lot of
Speaker 6: running backs.
Speaker 2: I think the biggest thing people are mad about is
Speaker 2: not taking the wide receiver.
Speaker 7: See I think I think the tight end pick will
Speaker 7: act as that missing receiving piece.
Speaker 1: Is his name?
Speaker 11: Why is a while he has little little Delaney? I agree,
Speaker 11: But he's a beast. This guy's This guy's as tall
Speaker 11: as you like. Apparently high ball guy. That's why I
Speaker 11: was confused. If you're gonna take a tight end later,
Speaker 11: why wouldn't you have taken Michael Mayer? But maybe it's
Speaker 11: because of his skill set.
Speaker 2: Look that seemed like Omayer is a pass catching tight end
Speaker 2: right whoa you hear that?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 6: Did they get in the whoops? He also likes to
Speaker 6: put He also liked to put people in the dirt too.
Speaker 6: That's why you kind of love the attitude of Michael Mahyer.
Speaker 6: But this dude is a Josh Wile. You know, Rave's
Speaker 6: probably fired up. He comes out of Cincinnati coach Fickle
Speaker 6: coaching forever. Rave's and Fickler they're like best men at
Speaker 6: each other's wedding, So I'm sure they did all the
Speaker 6: due diligence to be like, oh.
Speaker 1: This is our fucking guy in the fifth round.
Speaker 2: One thing to put a note on, the Titans draft
Speaker 2: their picks more white guys than they probably need, almost
Speaker 2: like three to two all offense.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you don't like seeing that bright you know, you
Speaker 6: don't like seeing that brightness off.
Speaker 2: When it comes up on the profile. All hard working
Speaker 2: and gritty, tough, smart guys.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Now, you know, if it's on the old line, you
Speaker 6: can that's where they belong. But you get on the outside,
Speaker 6: you know, you like to see a little they belong
Speaker 6: the white guys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what about Kyle Phillips another big heads.
Speaker 6: There's the anomalies out there, you know what I mean,
Speaker 6: there's anomalies out there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And speaking of anomalies, there's a white dB in
Speaker 2: the LA.
Speaker 1: Yes, there's a white.
Speaker 12: You know.
Speaker 2: I didn't like the cloud. We shouldn't have cloud. I
Speaker 2: did not like the way that felt. We gotta be
Speaker 2: fucking proud.
Speaker 5: We're missing the diversity white guys celebrating.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is an anomaly, dude. And I'm pretty sure
Speaker 2: he's got a mustache too, animullet, is he not?
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna move to safety soon.
Speaker 6: And we didn't track he's got to you gotta white
Speaker 6: cornerback out of you know where else?
Speaker 1: Iowa?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's Iowa and Nebraska have weight in Wisconsin.
Speaker 5: Let me see a pick of this dude, third round.
Speaker 6: All eyes are gonna be on him, dude during the
Speaker 6: offseason with with all of us, with the dB room
Speaker 6: and everybody else, Like, look at his white boy.
Speaker 1: Out here balling.
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, dude, this one article about I guess Troy
Speaker 3: app Key was the only other white cornerback this how
Speaker 3: is titled is Troy Afkey broke the NFL's eight year
Speaker 3: run without a white quarterback.
Speaker 1: Four four five? But can move now?
Speaker 2: Yeah, only a tenth of a second faster than Will
Speaker 2: thirty nine.
Speaker 1: He's a tenth a second. True, that's true. Christ. For
Speaker 1: those of you guys who don't know, Will says you're
Speaker 1: in four or five.
Speaker 6: His prod strengths and weaknesses. It would be so funny
Speaker 6: if weaknesses was just white. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, as a cornerback late cornerback, Yeah that's fucking crazy.
Speaker 2: But yeah. The draft was a It was a unique
Speaker 2: perspective this year, especially because we were in New York.
Speaker 2: Will did a phenomenal job. I thought his work count
Speaker 2: was very low. The entire time. However, when he spoke,
Speaker 2: he had some good ship to say and his outfit
Speaker 2: was incredible.
Speaker 6: Lower, I appreciate that, lower than normal on the word count.
Speaker 6: I felt like being on the outside of that little
Speaker 6: of the four seats was a little difficult because Brandon
Speaker 6: and Roan had a really good report. Roan shout out
Speaker 6: the boy, Brandon hosting the whole thing, but Roan coming
Speaker 6: in with some with some feedback and words like the
Speaker 6: dude his brain. He's a freestyle fucking rapper that happens.
Speaker 6: Also loved sports, so I felt like he gave a
Speaker 6: lot of good intellect and added a lot of value
Speaker 6: to that. Then I had Shay next to me, and
Speaker 6: I felt like Jay was a little he was a
Speaker 6: little suppressed, and I think Caleb Presley came out of
Speaker 6: the gate early swinging on him and kind of hurt
Speaker 6: his confidence a little bit because cal had some weird
Speaker 6: energy coming on them.
Speaker 4: On the.
Speaker 2: Well, he was his body. He was like Stevie, you
Speaker 2: a lot of bullets. He caught a lot of bullets
Speaker 2: in the beginning. Also, Bigcat apparently plays a prank on
Speaker 2: him every single year, but this year, yeah, this year
Speaker 2: the prank was not pulling a prank and just telling you, hey,
Speaker 2: good luck, You're gonna do great. And so I could
Speaker 2: feel that after the first five picks, I was like, oh, Stephen,
Speaker 2: she is mentally fighting the battle the shots.
Speaker 6: I thought he did well, and dude, you earned Frank's
Speaker 6: a little rippoort your guys, a little dynamic duo throughout
Speaker 6: was a fun time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember wh I gave him a hug when he
Speaker 2: first came in the building. I looked at my my
Speaker 2: jacket and there was a nice little rememberance package he
Speaker 2: gave me of oil.
Speaker 1: I was not, dude, I fucking love Frank.
Speaker 2: Dude, he's yelling, just mad about the Mets, and all
Speaker 2: of a sudden, you the Dolphins call you. Yeah. The
Speaker 2: hug was nice, dude, the hug and the thing is too.
Speaker 2: I just pull my arms out and let him come in.
Speaker 2: His like feet kind of just shuffled over and just
Speaker 2: gently got placed into my right pack.
Speaker 1: It was nice.
Speaker 6: He kind of walks like a South Park character. Yeah,
Speaker 6: he kind of like he does.
Speaker 3: Hey, we can't we can't sleep on wiel breaking the
Speaker 3: v Jhon Robinson news.
Speaker 13: Yeah, fucking man dog when that was evident, make us
Speaker 13: do that, brother well, Coach Smith, I was like early
Speaker 13: in the day, I was like, Hey, I'm gonna be
Speaker 13: on the Death to Night for the Barseol Draft show,
Speaker 13: like would love the inside, would love the inside track
Speaker 13: whenever you know who you're getting.
Speaker 1: He's like, I got y'all, let you break it.
Speaker 6: And when the pick was coming up, I shot in
Speaker 6: the eyes, was like, how you feeling? And then all
Speaker 6: he shot me was a gift of Matthew McConaughey just
Speaker 6: hitting the chest. But to me, I thought he was
Speaker 6: just saying, like, the barbs are up, We're about to
Speaker 6: have it figured it out. I'm gonna have this pic to
Speaker 6: you in a second, not knowing that he met Matthew McConaughey,
Speaker 6: there's your tip, Texas, Longharrens Bjeon Robinson. So then there's
Speaker 6: a group chat. Taylor hits it and say hey, who's
Speaker 6: it gonna be, and then I shoot the eyes. I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 6: maybe he's gonna tell us in this chat. He's like
Speaker 6: I told Will, but I guess he didn't want to
Speaker 6: break it, and I'm thinking, what the fuck is he
Speaker 6: talking about it?
Speaker 2: And tell me that's on art, dude, He's got to
Speaker 2: understand that sometimes sometimes you don't see that shit.
Speaker 1: I trying to come at you, but sometimes.
Speaker 6: You don't pick up those pieces. I'm working the phone though,
Speaker 6: I'm thinking myself, I'm working the phone.
Speaker 2: So funny watching everybody up bar still fucking just on
Speaker 2: their phones trying to get the next pick.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sitting here thinking it too. I'm just like everybody.
Speaker 6: I knew these boys are doing a great job filling
Speaker 6: space right now, just talking conversation. I'm gonna get at
Speaker 6: this pick, not knowing that Stephen Cha had already said like,
Speaker 6: oh uh uh, Falcons are going Bjeon Robinson. And then
Speaker 6: I put my phone down. My boys got breaking news.
Speaker 6: Falcons are getting Bjeon Robinson. And then Brandon Walker. You guys,
Speaker 6: you can run the clip, but Brandon Walker is just like,
Speaker 6: where in the fuck have you been in? And then
Speaker 6: I just kind of like, that's on me. We make
Speaker 6: clips here.
Speaker 1: Me and Branda Walker will fight at some point in
Speaker 1: this life. I will say I thought he was trying
Speaker 1: to figure it out.
Speaker 2: He was, but I made the conscious decision to not
Speaker 2: figure it out that yet. Yeah, I did not want
Speaker 2: to figure our shit out that day dude. I had
Speaker 2: a tough one too. I got the news that will
Speaker 2: Levis was being taken by the Titans early, so I
Speaker 2: tweeted it out, Will Levis the Titans, I said it first,
Speaker 2: refresh it, and who's the fucking ari guy that's always
Speaker 2: breaking the news fastest on Twitter, Alri Mirov. I refreshed
Speaker 2: it and it was like my tweet right like above
Speaker 2: his tweet, like they're like fifteen twenty seconds off.
Speaker 1: Motherfucker.
Speaker 6: That is the tip you got though, So you knew
Speaker 6: the Titans were on the inside track with will Levis,
Speaker 6: but when it didn't happen, you're like, okay, maybe that No,
Speaker 6: he didn't did we even text Rabel Frame never texted me. Yeah,
Speaker 6: he didn't text us back. He didn't text me back,
Speaker 6: I know the day before whenever he was body bagging
Speaker 6: me for saying like whenever I commented on the Malik
Speaker 6: Willis like, uh, they weren't gonna do anything in the
Speaker 6: playoffs the Titans rape text me and goes, you don't
Speaker 6: know what mean, you haven't had in common last year,
Speaker 6: And I was like what, he goes, neither of us
Speaker 6: were going to do anything in the playoffs, Like God,
Speaker 6: damn it, dude, body, and I was like, hey, I'm
Speaker 6: on the desk some off for the barseol Draft show.
Speaker 5: I was like, hey, you know, I need you to
Speaker 5: make a splash play. And then he just didn't TAXI bag.
Speaker 5: That's tough when he doesn't text me. It's always on
Speaker 5: Rabel's terms whether or not you're gonna be friends that day.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I text him the other day for that June twenty
Speaker 2: seventh event and I was like, I want you using

Speaker 2: was like, I'd much rather have you than Morgan Wall. Like,
Speaker 2: I literally lent the Olive breach. Was like, hey you
Speaker 2: should come by though. Good group of dudes coming nothing nothing,
Speaker 2: he's in it. Yeah, and I obviously said he was
Speaker 2: overweight on part of my Take podcast. So that's really
Speaker 2: gonna puts down a couple more notches. Yeah, especially listen
Speaker 2: to it if if Rabel is on that ship. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but you think he's gonna listen to the full full
Speaker 2: hour or whatever, but you know part of what they're
Speaker 2: gonna clip that I know if they clip and that's
Speaker 2: where you that's what you gotta worry about. Yeah, they

Speaker 6: don't think so. I think it's a diet thing for him.
Speaker 6: You know, gravity They kind of take your tists and
Speaker 6: you can start sagging a little bit. I feel like
Speaker 6: I don't think he's you know what he does. He
Speaker 6: does a great job with the vest layering, up layering.
Speaker 6: It starts and where it finishes. Though it's always fall
Speaker 6: for him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is always fall. Maybe like ninety five degrees
Speaker 2: in July. I'll know it's always fall for we will

Speaker 2: Carmichael in the supercross landscape and then obviously you know
Speaker 2: Brian Deegan, Travis Pstrawan on those guys, and then the
Speaker 2: freestyle motocross world was my shit. Mitch brought this to us.
Speaker 2: I thought, hell, yeah, this is gonna be fucking awesome.
Speaker 2: And we all know Mitch soft spoken individual, doesn't like

Speaker 2: into this, after we did the interviews and all that,
Speaker 2: and we started doing the supercross Like Mitch, his brother

Speaker 8: As we were walking in the door, he pulled up
Speaker 8: and ran up. So I'm happy he was able to
Speaker 8: make it.
Speaker 2: He was a kid in the case all of them. Dude,
Speaker 2: we got to walk on the track, go through it.
Speaker 2: They're talking about how they go through like when they
Speaker 2: do a track walk, they don't get eight minutes to
Speaker 2: warm up before racing and they don't ride it before,
Speaker 2: so they're like literally trying to figure out, Okay, I
Speaker 2: can double this, triple this, I have to bounce off this,
Speaker 2: all that different stuff like working through the process. And
Speaker 2: those dudes' injuries are crazy, Like who's what's the buddy

Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't got the nogging dude, No shots. I
Speaker 6: love your mom, dude, I know your whole family. They're
Speaker 6: they're a fan of the bus. So just a little
Speaker 6: just a little busting balls mom.

Speaker 8: They just I can't believe this is where you work,
Speaker 8: like just gratty back there on the little tables and everything.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, what a fucked up establishment we have here. Yeah.
Speaker 6: I think it's cool too that you like love Supercross,
Speaker 6: that you love a sport that's not like the the
Speaker 6: most recognizable spa.
Speaker 1: It's like growing in popularity.
Speaker 8: But like, I what, uh you made a comment like
Speaker 8: you guys should do like an F one thing. I
Speaker 8: think that would be huge. I know it's like not
Speaker 8: as big as one or anything, but he'd like but if.
Speaker 6: One, they're Their popularity has grown like fucking ten x
Speaker 6: from just that little docuseries they made on Netflix.
Speaker 1: I mean they're doing it now with golf.
Speaker 6: The quarter of the QB or a quarterback is coming
Speaker 6: out where they're falling around the homes. I think Marcus
Speaker 6: Mariota and one other Gino.

Speaker 3: It was a little more. You know, Gino is a beast.
Speaker 8: Anyways, those ones all have like massive, like you should
Speaker 8: have known a lot of money in it.
Speaker 6: I should have. Now that I see it, I'm like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 6: that's right. Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins, Marcus Mariota. But they're
Speaker 6: doing all these little docutions. I think it'd be sick
Speaker 6: if you're trying to grow the sport. I think that's
Speaker 6: a move on support that needs attention is get them docuseries.
Speaker 8: Though the Supercross doesn't have his much money as all
Speaker 8: those sports, so I think that's probably where they are
Speaker 8: not able to do that and capitalize on it. But
Speaker 8: I think it would look it would be super Yeah, that.
Speaker 1: Would be dope.
Speaker 5: Before we do tear tear talk or shout out no

Speaker 2: with his nut and receiving that that hat doesn't sell.
Speaker 1: I mean, what are we doing?
Speaker 6: Boys, We're trying and Jack's like, yeah, we've got to
Speaker 6: be the best at barstool for doing these fucking.
Speaker 1: Weekly Don't say too loud, don't say we don't want people.
Speaker 1: We're competing.
Speaker 2: We're at their competing, Like competitions are ways when people
Speaker 2: don't know they're competing.
Speaker 1: I just want to put it out there that we're
Speaker 1: we're aware, and we are coming. We're here. I think
Speaker 1: we might be number one. And it's Louis.
Speaker 2: I don't know if we should even talk about Dion,
Speaker 2: but all those dudes transferring away coming back all that.
Speaker 1: He's open about it.
Speaker 6: He's like, you buy a new house, you want to
Speaker 6: you want to decorate with new furniture, you gotta get
Speaker 6: the old furniture out.
Speaker 2: He talked crazy about those damn kids. What you got, brother?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like he's.
Speaker 6: Trying to build a program, he's trying to build culture.
Speaker 6: Weed out the guys. Who are you know who don't
Speaker 6: want to be there?
Speaker 1: What do you think? Uh?
Speaker 2: I do you think they're gonna do? I think they'll
Speaker 2: do so. I think they're gonna surprise people. That's what
Speaker 2: I think I think they're gonna surprise people.
Speaker 6: I think until Dion has a actual down year, an
Speaker 6: unsuccessful year, I think right, so far, he's proved every spot,
Speaker 6: He's proved each year that he can fucking he can
Speaker 6: do this thing. Did you know what I'm saying? They'll
Speaker 6: wait for raid of some day coming on our show.
Speaker 6: Do you know what I'm saying? Do you feel well?
Speaker 6: How do you feel about it?
Speaker 1: Yeah? The first year is always so tough.
Speaker 2: You see, if all those new guys coming in, old
Speaker 2: guys leaving, how is the locker room really feels? So
Speaker 2: you kind of wonder, like how everything's gelling. I wonder
Speaker 2: if there's like a.
Speaker 1: Kind of like a.
Speaker 2: How I don't know how the guys that are coming
Speaker 2: in feel, knowing the way the ways talks about them
Speaker 2: being Louis and all that, and then the old guys
Speaker 2: if they kind of feel some type of way that
Speaker 2: these new guys and that could cause a divide in
Speaker 2: the locker room.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of dudes.
Speaker 2: College football is one hundred and twenty people, right, so
Speaker 2: there's a lot of different personalities to kind of come together.
Speaker 1: I wonder how that camp's gonna look. Camp's when we're
Speaker 1: really gonna figure it out. Yeah, if you've got a
Speaker 1: squad or not.
Speaker 6: Feel like he does nothing but drop gyms and like
Speaker 6: he the way he speaks, like I sometimes like I
Speaker 6: can see how people see that it's it's it's arrogant
Speaker 6: and pompous, and but I feel like he's always came
Speaker 6: onto the scene and it's always made some people a
Speaker 6: little uncomfortable, whether it's coming in to play football, whether
Speaker 6: it's playing baseball and football at the same time and
Speaker 6: hitting a home running then going and playing a game
Speaker 6: the next day, like getting into the coaching scene, even
Speaker 6: in media, going to Barstool Sports, Jackson State, all the
Speaker 6: stuff he's.
Speaker 1: Saying and then jumping to Colorado.
Speaker 6: Every move he's made, he's been successful, and I feel
Speaker 6: like he's always again, he's always got a lot of
Speaker 6: like philosophy that he shares along the way on why
Speaker 6: he does what he does, and people are just gonna
Speaker 6: have to wait and see it for it to be true.
Speaker 6: And I think this is gonna be I think it's
Speaker 6: gonna be maybe something similar. I don't know if they're
Speaker 6: gonna be as successful as he was the Jackson State
Speaker 6: right out of the gate, because you're now playing Division
Speaker 6: one football and the competition is higher. Yeah, and you're
Speaker 6: starting at a place like Colorado, Like, no disrespect, but
Speaker 6: there's a reason, like thirty something guys are shuffling out
Speaker 6: of there like they're a shitty fucking team, shty team,
Speaker 6: and uh, but I'm excited to see how it goes, man,
Speaker 6: because I think it'll be cool, like if he like
Speaker 6: just climb and climbs the ranks and does it his
Speaker 6: way like he has in every situation in his career.
Speaker 5: You saw their spring game, right, the attendance, Yeah, wild, insane,
Speaker 5: So you gotta make How does it make you feel
Speaker 5: Nebraska plays them the first game of the year, right,
Speaker 5: second game, second game.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be mostly red?
Speaker 6: You think, So it's gonna be a fuck load of red, man,
Speaker 6: I think, uh that, I think that fan base. I
Speaker 6: think Colorado is already seeing them, being like, oh, this
Speaker 6: is our best hire we've had and maybe ever, I
Speaker 6: don't want to disrespect any coach out there that's been there,
Speaker 6: been successful, but yeah, I mean turning it around and
Speaker 6: people are showing up like that, and people seem to
Speaker 6: fuck with Dion like I think he's gonna win a
Speaker 6: lot of football games there. It won't be against Nebraska,
Speaker 6: but I think he's gonna win a lot of football games.
Speaker 1: Do you think they'll be one in one after week two? Yeah?
Speaker 6: I don't know who who do they play first? They
Speaker 6: could be oh and two TCU, they're gonna be oh
Speaker 6: and two. They're gonna start out oh and two. But
Speaker 6: I'm rooting for looking pull them for Dion like I
Speaker 6: am pulling for Dion. Pc U going one in three
Speaker 6: loss Colorado, Yeah, Colorado State, dub Oregon lost loss one
Speaker 6: and three, USC lost one and four Colorado Rizona State.
Speaker 1: Now, that's gonna be a good game. That's gonna be
Speaker 1: a good game. Good game. Ooh, lost was one and five,
Speaker 1: one in.
Speaker 6: Five, going to get Stanford. I think you beat Stanford. Okay,
Speaker 6: you surprised, you see LA. I think this where they
Speaker 6: start coming around this way, they start coming around when
Speaker 6: it's three and five Oregon five.
Speaker 1: Oregon State tough, but I'll say dub.
Speaker 2: Okay four and five, Arizona five and five, Okay, Washington.
Speaker 1: State at Washington State. I think they drop a game.
Speaker 2: There, Okay, five and six, the Utah loss five and seven.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you're if you're Colorado. Listening to this right now,
Speaker 3: Will's prediction, you should be hype. You guys are probably
Speaker 3: gonna go undefeated based off him what he did to
Speaker 3: Kansas City.
Speaker 2: Last here he will single handedly got Kansas City a
Speaker 2: super Bowl?
Speaker 6: Right now, Hang on a second, how do you personally
Speaker 6: feel JP hearing me talk about it, Like, are you
Speaker 6: part of the fan base, Like you're like, oh damn,
Speaker 6: coloriad was gonna win a lot.
Speaker 1: Are you're like, oh my man, he's he's probably onto something.
Speaker 1: I think Colorado is gonna go to a bowl game,
Speaker 1: but I think it's that's one more game. I think
Speaker 1: that's one of the things that if they're six and six,
Speaker 1: they're going bowling. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I feel like the way you were just speaking about Dion,
Speaker 3: I felt it was more like he's gonna come in
Speaker 3: and succeed just how he succeeded and everything else.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but again, that can be losing close games. What
Speaker 1: was the record last year? It was abysmal? Right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they won like one or two games. If you win
Speaker 1: five games, that's a success.
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna beat TCU. What I think TCU
Speaker 3: is gonna fall off?
Speaker 1: I hope so they deserve it. After what they did
Speaker 1: to us in the playoffs.
Speaker 6: I hope they beat TCU because that's gonna make our
Speaker 6: win look better.
Speaker 1: Week two, Bro, I'll say this, I'll agree with you all.
Speaker 6: Say a six win season, they'll go to a bowl game,
Speaker 6: and the majority of their losses I think will be
Speaker 6: close games where it's like, yeah, okay, we went six
Speaker 6: and six or maybe had a losing season. But if
Speaker 6: you look the losses like they're fucking trending in the
Speaker 6: right direction. I was saying all that stuff, and without
Speaker 6: seeing the schedule, and they've seen the EPA.
Speaker 1: They got a halfty one.
Speaker 2: Dude, PC to you though, dropping off makes us feel
Speaker 2: a whole lot better. Yeah, because if we're speaking, we're
Speaker 2: not being biased at all. I mean, they could easily
Speaker 2: be two and o right, just based off how bra
Speaker 2: like how Nebraska's been.
Speaker 1: Brother.
Speaker 2: I'm just letting you know, Colorado State, now you could
Speaker 2: be three and o Oregon, like you just said.
Speaker 1: The most disrespectful I think you know.
Speaker 2: I know how you are about Nebraska, brother, and it's
Speaker 2: like I want to be there to support you, but
Speaker 2: sometimes we're gonna look for your clear lens.
Speaker 6: But you also need to understand that I know that
Speaker 6: this is the hill, like I'll stand.
Speaker 1: Up, yeah and absolutely in a way of like what
Speaker 1: you're saying, you'll die.
Speaker 3: On that hill.
Speaker 2: It's like, I don't want to just catch bullets from
Speaker 2: you for no reason.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, hey, let them live. Just letting Nebraska live.
Speaker 2: Brother, you said what dude, all of a sudden, I'm

Speaker 1: My name is till One.
Speaker 2: My guest today is the electric Ken Roxon And they
Speaker 2: say that right, Ken Roxton.
Speaker 5: Yeah that's right, dude.
Speaker 2: So my thirteen year old self will be nutting his
Speaker 2: pants right now because growing up, when I was five
Speaker 2: years old, my grandpa got me a little PW fifty
Speaker 2: and I was obsessed with dirt bikes from the get going.
Speaker 2: We were kind of talking about it before, but I
Speaker 2: always like to wait till we're on the mics because
Speaker 2: if I start retelling the same story, it doesn't have
Speaker 2: the same feel, the same posazz to me. And so
Speaker 2: you know, I'm five years old, I get a dirt bike,
Speaker 2: I start falling into the Travis Pastranos, the Brian Degans,
Speaker 2: the first three sixty happened. Then then I go to
Speaker 2: like Supercross and Arizona and I'm watching Chattered and Rickey
Speaker 2: Carmichael like. So it's an absolute honor to have you
Speaker 2: on this show. When the boys are over here, we
Speaker 2: got on the zoom, they were telling me you're a
Speaker 2: fan favorite, you get after it, You're a fun personality.
Speaker 2: So I'm an electrostack to have you on here today,
Speaker 2: it's gonna be amazing.
Speaker 9: Well, I appreciate, and you know, as you know, it's
Speaker 9: so easy to fall in love with the sport, right
Speaker 9: or anything anything with wheels, at least.
Speaker 5: That's what it is for me.
Speaker 9: I mean, actually I had the luxury of growing up
Speaker 9: with a track right on my property, so it was
Speaker 9: you know, my dad had a team and they did
Speaker 9: it all just for fun, right, But I had the
Speaker 9: luxury of going out my back door, jumping on a
Speaker 9: bike and going and I think you know, I went
Speaker 9: through an entire freaking canister of gas when I was
Speaker 9: at a young age, not because my dad wanted me to,
Speaker 9: but I just had the freedom to do whatever, and
Speaker 9: especially as a kid, like you can just can kind
Speaker 9: of just do whatever you want out of property, Like
Speaker 9: that's that's pretty bad ass.
Speaker 5: So basically being you were born into the sport, like
Speaker 5: you you woke up out of your mom's womb, boom,
Speaker 5: you're there, and your dad's like, I already got a
Speaker 5: track ready for you to ready to go, Like when
Speaker 5: did you realize, like, hey, I'm all about wheels, I'm
Speaker 5: all about racing.
Speaker 9: Yeah, So most people actually don't know as I don't
Speaker 9: really have an accent, but I was. Actually I'm German,
Speaker 9: like full German. Was born in Germany and lived. Yeah,
Speaker 9: so I moved to the US when I was like sixteen.
Speaker 9: Seventeen was my first year and I've been here ever since.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 9: That was my like, I pretty much had my entire
Speaker 9: adult life in the US. Like I bought my first house.
Speaker 9: Granted I lived in my own house because on the
Speaker 9: property we had a we had another building, so I
Speaker 9: kind of had.
Speaker 1: The like compound at the house.
Speaker 5: Huh yeah, yeah, so it was a full compound.
Speaker 9: My dad, my parents had a house, I had my house,
Speaker 9: and we had the track in the backyard in Germany
Speaker 9: on a property. But yeah, I had my first drive
Speaker 9: my driver's license here because in Germany had to be
Speaker 9: eighteen have a driver's license. So my entire adult live
Speaker 9: of buying houses and kind of you know, kickstarting that
Speaker 9: is uh has been in the US. So I feel
Speaker 9: very Americanized, you know, Yeah, I really have to say that.
Speaker 9: And I even struggle with speaking German sometimes, you know,
Speaker 9: when I'm not around it the whole time. My parents
Speaker 9: have been over a lot more often lately, so then
Speaker 9: it comes easier. But for a while, I wasn't because
Speaker 9: we're wide open January through I mean now it'd be September,
Speaker 9: you know, so we're wide open. I don't really have
Speaker 9: much time to you know, get back home and kind
Speaker 9: of hang out there. So for a while I didn't
Speaker 9: go back, and everything felt super foreign, and which is
Speaker 9: weird to think about when you've lived where you were
Speaker 9: born for sixteen seventeen years and then down the road
Speaker 9: you come back and that feels foreign to you.
Speaker 5: Is a wild feeling when.
Speaker 2: You're in when you grew up in Germany and now
Speaker 2: you're in the United States, Like what was going to
Speaker 2: the United States? What was like the biggest culture shock
Speaker 2: for you seeing the difference between Europe and then obviously
Speaker 2: the United States.
Speaker 9: Well, so the good thing was that at an early age,
Speaker 9: So I raced my first race when I was three,
Speaker 9: which is everything for me happened super early, Like most
Speaker 9: most writers start four or five, six right around there,
Speaker 9: but everything was super early for me. So I started
Speaker 9: traveling all throughout Europe at an early age as well.
Speaker 9: I started writing German Championship and then European Championship, you know,
Speaker 9: at a really early age. So I was kind of
Speaker 9: used to going different countries, because I guess it'd be
Speaker 9: like going from California to Nevada. I was going from
Speaker 9: Germany to France, you know, yeah, and it's a total
Speaker 9: different culture. So I was used to that. Having said that,
Speaker 9: coming over for the first time ever, it was two
Speaker 9: thousand and five, I've actually that's when my parents and
Speaker 9: Suzuki back then surprised me. Actually we shut up at
Speaker 9: this property and uh, getting dressed and everything, and I
Speaker 9: started riding the supercross tracks outdoor tracks, like multiple tracks
Speaker 9: on a property, and so that was, you know, first
Speaker 9: time in the US. It was all new to me,
Speaker 9: like the big tracks, big compounds, and everything wasn't normal.
Speaker 9: So I'm riding and riding and I come back and
Speaker 9: I see somebody with the number four ripping on a
Speaker 9: supercross track and it was Ricky. I did had no idea.
Speaker 9: My parents surprised me, and that was my first encounter
Speaker 9: with Ricky. And then sure enough down the road, let's say, oh,
Speaker 9: ten years later, I started racing for his team.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and uh, just wild to think about, right.
Speaker 9: So anyways, when I when I first came out to
Speaker 9: the US, I just think we were a little bit
Speaker 9: thrown in the deep end. I didn't have much supercross experience, right,
Speaker 9: so we came over here started racing for Roger to Coosta,
Speaker 9: which is like the ultimate top level thing that you
Speaker 9: can do, right, and I had that in with KTM
Speaker 9: and the big switch was going on.
Speaker 5: But overall, like I was new.
Speaker 9: To supercross, the bikes, the suspension setups, and I went
Speaker 9: from living on a property to do whatever I want
Speaker 9: to do to living into an apartment and then.
Speaker 5: Trying to you know, grocery shopping.
Speaker 9: Like it's just things you don't realize until you're actually
Speaker 9: thrown in the deep end, and but so cool to
Speaker 9: look back. I tell people to go out out the
Speaker 9: country and and get different cultures all the time. But
Speaker 9: at least that's one of my favorite things to do,
Speaker 9: is travel to all different places.
Speaker 2: So when you when you're able to go back to Germany, like,
Speaker 2: does it feel more foreign to you being back in
Speaker 2: Germany now that you've been in the United States for
Speaker 2: so long?
Speaker 9: At this point, it hasn't been too bad because within
Speaker 9: the last couple of years I went back a few times,
Speaker 9: only just for a few days at a time, but
Speaker 9: at least I was there more frequently, and that made
Speaker 9: it feel a lot more like, Hey, it starts feeling
Speaker 9: a lot more familiar again. And I wouldn't say that
Speaker 9: when I go there that that's home in a sense. Yeah,
Speaker 9: because of friends and I like food and I love
Speaker 9: German food and everything, but overall, I'm just never there.
Speaker 9: So when I do go there, it just I feel
Speaker 9: more at home in the US, I have to really, Yeah,
Speaker 9: it's it's wild and I've only been here for ten years,
Speaker 9: so I don't know if you would consider that a
Speaker 9: long time or not.
Speaker 1: But dude, you take a decade in, you're you're you're cemented.
Speaker 9: Right, Yeah, at least you've completely switched. I mean, I
Speaker 9: feel like I'm a complete different person in a sense.
Speaker 9: I want to believe that I'm a better person, but
Speaker 9: complete different person than when I lived in Germany.
Speaker 1: Granted I was young.
Speaker 2: But you stay out in Florida now, Is that we're
Speaker 2: gonna have home base when it's all said and done, correct?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I used to split my time.
Speaker 9: Florida is my home base, like my main spot. But
Speaker 9: I lived in San Clementi before, which is between La
Speaker 9: and San Diego. That's where I first actually went was
Speaker 9: from Germany. I went straight to California, and that's where
Speaker 9: I based myself out of and then transitioned over to Florida.
Speaker 9: But I've always had my teams have always been in
Speaker 9: southern California, so I've always felt the need to have
Speaker 9: a place instead of renting all the time.
Speaker 5: It's always a mini move and it's a pain in
Speaker 5: the ass.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 9: So, but we did end up selling last year throughout
Speaker 9: summer just because you know how the market was like
Speaker 9: make a make some good money with it. It wasn't
Speaker 9: planing at all. So for right now, I have no
Speaker 9: house in California. We just we're kind of everything as
Speaker 9: everything has changed within the last few months in a
Speaker 9: good way, like in a super cool I think it
Speaker 9: was it was needed for me personally, and uh yeah,
Speaker 9: so life's life's been good though.
Speaker 2: That's awesome, And I'm happy for you being Going back
Speaker 2: to when you were started racing when you were three
Speaker 2: years old, at what point in your life did you
Speaker 2: realize like, oh, should I can actually do this and
Speaker 2: be competitive and be a champion doing this?
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I would say it probably started very early.
Speaker 9: I mean the fact that I started riding and racing
Speaker 9: so early, I just had, you know, crazy good throttle control,
Speaker 9: and I could ride a dirt bike before I was
Speaker 9: able to ride it.
Speaker 1: You say, but you got to break it down because
Speaker 1: you throttle.
Speaker 5: Control, so you know, like any kid.
Speaker 9: I mean, I even say, I have a son that's
Speaker 9: too in seven month, two years and seven months, and uh,
Speaker 9: you know when they first jump on it, all they
Speaker 9: want to do is hold it wide open, you know,
Speaker 9: and and I, for whatever reason at that age, hold
Speaker 9: a throttle wide open and then whiskey thrown.
Speaker 5: They don't know how to break right, and then they
Speaker 5: just go away to the things.
Speaker 2: Their legs are falling off the back and they're kind
Speaker 2: of getting drug ass arounds.
Speaker 1: They fall down.
Speaker 9: And actually for me, I was just very I had
Speaker 9: really good throttle control, and uh, I just knew how
Speaker 9: to ride a motorcycle. So then a little bit later,
Speaker 9: on five, six, seven, eight years, I was just racing
Speaker 9: a lot of local stuff, a little bit of Belgium
Speaker 9: and in the Netherlands.
Speaker 5: Because it was close by eleven years old, No, that
Speaker 5: was earlier than that.
Speaker 9: So then when eight nine ten is when I started
Speaker 9: racing German Championship and with that came some of the
Speaker 9: European championships because the German Championship was actually an international championship,
Speaker 9: so it wasn't just Germans riding that we had people
Speaker 9: come that I actually would in the World Championship, would
Speaker 9: actually still race today, like we've we have this group
Speaker 9: of people that I've raced against since I was super
Speaker 9: little that are still racing at this point, which is
Speaker 9: so rare to see because it's it's so long ago
Speaker 9: when when we were little kids, and now I'm almost thirty,
Speaker 9: turning twenty nine tomorrow and I'm technically at you know,
Speaker 9: still racing some of those guys from back then.
Speaker 5: It's pretty cool to see.
Speaker 2: You're getting to race on your birthday. Sounds like an
Speaker 2: awesome you said, you're in twenty nine, Yeah.
Speaker 5: First time ever.
Speaker 9: So my birthday used to be on when we raced
Speaker 9: in Vegas back the day, but it was never on
Speaker 9: actual Saturday when we were racing. So this time, is
Speaker 9: it called stone or Golden Birthday or something like that?
Speaker 1: Your golden birthday?
Speaker 5: Yeah, my twenty ninth birthday, twenty ninth, and I'm racing.
Speaker 2: So yeah, and automatic dub huh automatic dub.
Speaker 9: Automatic, Yeah, I mean I would hope, so that would
Speaker 9: be bad ass. But just being in Nashville too, Right,
Speaker 9: We don't come here that often, and my wife loves
Speaker 9: the city and I do too. We've had some good
Speaker 9: times here, and it's just it's a different, different vibe.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's like the like a little New York
Speaker 5: in a way.
Speaker 2: It's just special. It makes it it's a uniquely growing city, dude.
Speaker 2: Like I've been here for almost ten years now and
Speaker 2: just watching the landscape with the skyscrapers everything, I've changed
Speaker 2: so much as over like a million people here now,
Speaker 2: but before that, it was like in the five hundred thousands,
Speaker 2: it just doubled.
Speaker 1: Yeah, in the last ten years, it's wild.
Speaker 5: I mean, and you see it happening in a lot
Speaker 5: of areas.
Speaker 9: I mean even where I'm from and like near Orlando area,
Speaker 9: we're on a little outskirt that used to be That's
Speaker 9: why I essentially moved to Florida because everything was calmer.
Speaker 9: There wasn't as much traffic as in California. I didn't
Speaker 9: have to drive as far but taxes. Yeah, and within
Speaker 9: the last few years, it's just it had exploded, like
Speaker 9: it doesn't matter where we go in the area that
Speaker 9: used to be super calm and relaxed, they all start
Speaker 9: getting super busy, and uh, it just changed a little bit.
Speaker 9: But at the same time it's also good for businesses
Speaker 9: all the city grow and more people and so I'm
Speaker 9: fine with it, but it's at the same time it's
Speaker 9: a little sad, just because it's not as mellow anymore.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what d you you to Florida just going from
Speaker 2: one coast to the other one to be near the water,
Speaker 2: or did you ever consider a place like Nevada or
Speaker 2: Texas or an Arizona other I would assume big dirt
Speaker 2: biking areas.
Speaker 5: Yeah, not really, just because southern California.
Speaker 9: And when I say that is but Corona and Tamika,
Speaker 9: so it's a little bit more inland from the beach.
Speaker 5: That's where all the test tracks used to be from.
Speaker 9: All the teams, Honda, Suzuki, Cowie, like, they all have
Speaker 9: their test tracks there and all the teams are based
Speaker 9: down there, so it makes sense. But when you go
Speaker 9: to like Nevada or any of those areas, there isn't
Speaker 9: really anybody with tracks, Like I don't really think you
Speaker 9: have a whole lot of public tracks, and it just
Speaker 9: makes it a lot more difficult because the teams aren't there.
Speaker 5: There's hardly any tracks you would have to have your
Speaker 5: own property.
Speaker 9: But for me in Florida, there's so many private facilities
Speaker 9: and I personally ride at the same box, which I
Speaker 9: have for the last I don't know how many years.
Speaker 9: What's a sandbox, it's just the name of the facility
Speaker 9: that I'm racing at. We have supercross tracks there, turn
Speaker 9: tracks just in case it rains, so we can we
Speaker 9: always have a track rideable and you basically just pay
Speaker 9: a yearly fee and you're you're able. So it's not
Speaker 9: a public track. You can't just some guy can't just
Speaker 9: go there and pay and come and ride. So it's
Speaker 9: a private facility. And we have a bunch of thous
Speaker 9: throughout Florida, So that's why it made sense to go
Speaker 9: to Florida, switch coast and and and you don't drive
Speaker 9: as far. I have twenty five minutes to the track.
Speaker 9: It's always the same, and so anywhere in between. I mean,
Speaker 9: of course you have people living around that's where they
Speaker 9: grew up and they have their own track, but in
Speaker 9: general general, for me, it was always California or Florida,
Speaker 9: just because when it came to the riding side of things,
Speaker 9: it made the most sense.
Speaker 2: Take me throughel like how you train and get prepared
Speaker 2: to race and supercross? So I know it takes a
Speaker 2: lot of endurance. What kind of stuff do you do
Speaker 2: outside of just riding?
Speaker 1: Do you lift? Do you spread? Do you Yeah, it
Speaker 1: takes supplements, Like what's your regiment look like?
Speaker 9: Being a motocross supercross racer, you kind of have to
Speaker 9: be an all arounder. I think people their ego is
Speaker 9: super high and don't know much about the sport always
Speaker 9: have we have the stigma of like, oh, you just
Speaker 9: you just ride the bike. It couldn't be more far away,
Speaker 9: further away from the truth. I do a lot of
Speaker 9: cardio training. I do a lot of strength training, just
Speaker 9: because our sport is so it's called violent in a way, right,
Speaker 9: Like we're high heart rates, throwing bikes from left to
Speaker 9: right with track conditions changing pretty much every lap, and
Speaker 9: then you're battling twenty two other guys.
Speaker 5: So there's just a lot of excitement going on. And
Speaker 5: I think from a fan.
Speaker 9: Perspective especially, I think that's why everybody falls in love
Speaker 9: with it, because there's so much going on at all times, right,
Speaker 9: and so yeah, on the training side of things, we
Speaker 9: do a lot of cardio.
Speaker 1: It's in every day.
Speaker 9: I personally say, I work twenty four to seven, three
Speaker 9: sixty five. And I've always been the kind of guy
Speaker 9: whether it's Christmas or Thanksgiving or whatever, that is never
Speaker 9: taken away from what the task at hand, which is
Speaker 9: I've trained and done all this stuff for so long.
Speaker 9: Like it's almost like a religion to me in a way, right,
Speaker 9: Like I feel like a fish out of water.
Speaker 1: If I do do a routine, you kind of just
Speaker 1: I want to break.
Speaker 9: Down, And honestly, my body feels like shit if I
Speaker 9: don't work out, So I just I have fun with it.
Speaker 9: Especially in my later stages of my career. Right now,
Speaker 9: I have embraced the whole thing a lot more. I
Speaker 9: do my own training schedule, and I guess I'm just
Speaker 9: a lot more into it instead of back in the day.
Speaker 9: I was always eager to do everything one hundred and
Speaker 9: ten percent, but at the same time, you were always
Speaker 9: relying on somebody to tell you what to do. So
Speaker 9: I have taken it up on myself because I started
Speaker 9: traveling all over the country throughout the off season, racing
Speaker 9: in Australia and I raced in France, and I went
Speaker 9: to Barcelona and all of that, and uh yeah, the
Speaker 9: training side of things, I was the best, the best
Speaker 9: judge of myself because you know it is when you
Speaker 9: fly to Australia, it's a long ass fly, jet lag
Speaker 9: and everything.
Speaker 5: So I was the best judge of what I'm able
Speaker 5: to do.
Speaker 9: And with that, I started love I love doing intervals
Speaker 9: and like just kind of push my body and be
Speaker 9: in the in the pain cave a little bit. You know,
Speaker 9: we kind of I kind of live for that. So
Speaker 9: I was starting to mess around with the discomfort exactly,
Speaker 9: like you need to start to be comfortable being uncomfortable.
Speaker 9: And yeah, that's pretty much an all.
Speaker 1: Day every day you're humreman. Yeah he dialed in.
Speaker 9: Huh really and yeah, so we pretty much do it
Speaker 9: all and not to mention the riding. The thing is
Speaker 9: the weather too, right, Like in Florida we lived during
Speaker 9: the heat. I mean, summertime is absolutely miserable. So it
Speaker 9: is very easy to do too much and not be
Speaker 9: recovered for the weekend. Because you know how it is
Speaker 9: when you work out and it's hot out, it is
Speaker 9: three times as hard than when it's cool out, you know,
Speaker 9: So those are all things that take into consideration and
Speaker 9: find what's the best formula for you.
Speaker 2: When you were when you're growing up and you're realizing
Speaker 2: your passion for racing, you're ripping around having a good time.
Speaker 2: Was there a time, a transition period for you to
Speaker 2: find this love for discomfort where you're like, oh, I
Speaker 2: actually have to lift and I have to run and
Speaker 2: I have to make sure I stay on top of
Speaker 2: my body to make sure that can do it.
Speaker 1: Because you remember being a kid.
Speaker 2: I don't know how it is for dirt bike riders
Speaker 2: or motocross riders, but playing sports, you're a kid. You
Speaker 2: don't even need to warm up. You just go out
Speaker 2: there and do whatever. And then eventually you get to
Speaker 2: an agh it's like, should I got to stretch a
Speaker 2: little bit? Then he goes, I get the cold tub
Speaker 2: a little bit. And so what was that like? Was
Speaker 2: that a tough process for you to learn or was
Speaker 2: the eagerness always just there for you.
Speaker 9: I wouldn't say it was tough because I grew up
Speaker 9: with a lot of discipline naturally, but also my dad
Speaker 9: was quite old school, and.
Speaker 1: The Germans seemed very disciplined.
Speaker 9: Yeah, exactly, and not in a bad way, but just
Speaker 9: like when I was a kid, I was born into
Speaker 9: it and I wanted it to be I just think
Speaker 9: I had a couple of friends around too that we
Speaker 9: would always train together, and me and him would we
Speaker 9: went on I remember it.
Speaker 5: To this day because we always make fun of it.
Speaker 9: We went on a two hour run in the pouring rain,
Speaker 9: Like I mean, we put trash bags over ourselves and
Speaker 9: we just started running. But those are memories like was
Speaker 9: it miserable, absolutely, but did we have fun?
Speaker 1: For sure?
Speaker 5: And did it teach us to like not be soft?
Speaker 9: Absolutely, because I feel like nowadays people are way too soft,
Speaker 9: way too comfortable, right, And I just grew up with
Speaker 9: no matter what the weather is, there is really no
Speaker 9: bad weather, but you can dress right for it. And
Speaker 9: so no matter if it was freezing cold with a
Speaker 9: lot of ice, I was always running, and so I was.
Speaker 9: I was very I'm very appreciative of how I ca
Speaker 9: came up and the discipline. So I've always had that
Speaker 9: in me. Nobody really had to ever push me because
Speaker 9: I was slacking off. I was always, if anything, too
Speaker 9: eager and and uh put in a lot of enthusiasm.
Speaker 5: Enthusiasm.
Speaker 9: So yeah, I still to this day, I love it
Speaker 9: and a lot of I don't think a whole lot
Speaker 9: of people have disciplined. And it doesn't have to be
Speaker 9: with training or anything. It could be your diet or
Speaker 9: or whatever. It may be going to your job and
Speaker 9: maybe slacking. I don't know, but I just think it's
Speaker 9: really fun messing with this kind of stuff and being uncomfortable.
Speaker 9: I just feel like it makes me grow, It makes
Speaker 9: me be happy. Yeah, you know, same with cold plunges.
Speaker 9: I'm sure you young cold punches. People hate cold punches.
Speaker 1: For three minutes in the morning.
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, So I have.
Speaker 9: I have one as well, and as miserable as it is,
Speaker 9: but I just feel like, after you've kind of had
Speaker 9: that suffering a little bit, it's just there's something inside
Speaker 9: of us humans. I feel like that makes us feel
Speaker 9: like we've really accomplished something, and it makes it makes
Speaker 9: me feel good.
Speaker 1: So I love that type stuff.
Speaker 2: There's a there's a general that did a commencement speech
Speaker 2: at the University of Texas and he talks about little victories.
Speaker 2: A little victory could be as small as making your bed,
Speaker 2: because if your days shit, at least you come home
Speaker 2: to a made bed, and like, that's what the ice
Speaker 2: tub is totally if you stare at it and you
Speaker 2: have all these excuses in your head's like well I'm sore,
Speaker 2: Hey fucking I don't have to do it today. But
Speaker 2: the minute you get in, once you come out, you
Speaker 2: literally feel like a brand new man.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 9: I think we all tend to kind of think about
Speaker 9: going the easy route of like you know, like you said,
Speaker 9: not making the bed. But I feel like every time
Speaker 9: there's something where your brain says, hey, like don't worry
Speaker 9: about but then you do it anyway, which that's what
Speaker 9: discipline is.
Speaker 5: It overall makes.
Speaker 9: For such a better life because I just feel like
Speaker 9: you're overall happier because if you do that once, then
Speaker 9: you'll do it again and before you know it, your
Speaker 9: entire place will be a mess, right and right. So yeah,
Speaker 9: it's it's fun to mess with that kind of stuff.
Speaker 9: And I think everything comes in phases, which is totally cool.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 9: I think a lot of people go ape shit, go
Speaker 9: all the way, and then they get burnt out and
Speaker 9: then they just they're terrible again for a couple of years,
Speaker 9: you know. And I'm a believer in I keep a
Speaker 9: not a too high, not a too low, right, Like
Speaker 9: saying when it comes to diet, I kind of I'm
Speaker 9: a foodie, so I eat anything really, but I have
Speaker 9: learned to have fun with my job, enjoy the training
Speaker 9: side of things even when it's maybe not the most fun,
Speaker 9: but the same with the diet, and not be too
Speaker 9: too hard on yourself.
Speaker 5: And I feel like that's just what has worked for
Speaker 5: me lately.
Speaker 9: And I live happy and and that just shows in
Speaker 9: my writing and everything I do, and just we're all
Speaker 9: more enthusiastic with whatever I do.
Speaker 2: You can definitely tell with people their energy when they're
Speaker 2: happy or sad, like even internally you can feel it
Speaker 2: from that individual. You seem like a person that has
Speaker 2: a really good level head on their shoulders. And the
Speaker 2: way I've heard you talk in the short amount of time,
Speaker 2: it seems like your dad put a massively influential part
Speaker 2: in your life of having this type of success.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Absolutely, and all my family did, because that all what's
Speaker 9: cool about the sport. We have a very wide range
Speaker 9: of viewers you know, and fans you know, from all
Speaker 9: the way from newborns till till elderlies.
Speaker 5: So it I totally just forgot what I was.
Speaker 2: No, No, don't worry about that way we were talking
Speaker 2: about your your family, Yeah, your family, My.
Speaker 9: Mom, you know, she was cleaning the roll offs back
Speaker 9: in the this so when we ride and it's dirty
Speaker 9: and meaning muddy, or it's raining on whatever, you ride,
Speaker 9: rollof so you can pull your roll off and you
Speaker 9: get clear vision.
Speaker 5: Well, back in the day, we didn't have any money.
Speaker 1: Well, also on the goggles exactly.
Speaker 9: Yep, yep, exactly, you can pull it off. That's a
Speaker 9: tear off or a roll off. We have these little
Speaker 9: cannisters on the side and basically when we pull it,
Speaker 9: we pull the clear film from one side to the other,
Speaker 9: so we.
Speaker 5: Always have clear vision.
Speaker 9: Yeah, but my mom cleaned those back in the day
Speaker 9: and rolled them back up because we didn't really have
Speaker 9: any money to be, you know, buying new stuff all
Speaker 9: the time.
Speaker 2: It's an expensive sport, right, Like to ride motocross, you
Speaker 2: have to afford the bike.
Speaker 1: You have to be able to keep up with the maintenance.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's a lot easier to buy a ball or
Speaker 9: a bat, you know, that's sure. But I think nowadays,
Speaker 9: you know, we're lucky that this whole e bike thing, right,
Speaker 9: it's like electric bikes. Yeah, big controversy, you know, some
Speaker 9: people love it, some people hate it. What I think
Speaker 9: is great for little dudes is they can ride in
Speaker 9: any yard. It doesn't make any noise. So even for
Speaker 9: my son right now, he's just been riding his Stasic
Speaker 9: bike and it's like a mountain bike but electric for
Speaker 9: little kids, and it's so rad It just opens up
Speaker 9: I think a whole new era. And I think people
Speaker 9: from more you know, suburbs or city type living, they
Speaker 9: can they can end up have a little more liking
Speaker 9: into that. Yeah, and you know it's a sport expensive,
Speaker 9: Yeah it is. But at the same time, when you
Speaker 9: love it, you just you love it, you go after it, right, Yeah,
Speaker 9: passion seems to find a way totally.
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you brought you brought up like changing of
Speaker 2: bikes when you're younger, and you know, obviously you were
Speaker 2: riding the same bike as you were when you're three
Speaker 2: years old, when you as a kind of used to
Speaker 2: be rider, a big fan of everything. How was the
Speaker 2: transition for you going like up from bike to bike,
Speaker 2: Like what kind of process does that take to like
Speaker 2: learn the new torque and the speed and the throttle
Speaker 2: and all that.
Speaker 5: So that was that was a thing that came supernatural
Speaker 5: to me.
Speaker 9: And it's funny we talk about that because for me personally,
Speaker 9: I've always switched to the bigger bike at a super
Speaker 9: early age when I was actually way too small, so
Speaker 9: I always no, no, we're gonna call it level up.
Speaker 9: But I had the luxury of jumping on all kinds
Speaker 9: of different bikes when I was literally this tall and
Speaker 9: for whatever reason, and I just knew how to do
Speaker 9: a clutch, like because once you start rolling, I didn't
Speaker 9: really need my legs, right, I was riding around.
Speaker 1: So somebody had to hold you up while you got
Speaker 1: going on once you want.
Speaker 9: And you know what I think the ultimate factor is
Speaker 9: of success too, is that I had fun with everything
Speaker 9: that I did, like being a little kid riding bigger
Speaker 9: bikes that you're technically not supposed to ride. So I
Speaker 9: had the luxury of riding all these different bikes and
Speaker 9: playing around with the sport that I was going to pursue.
Speaker 9: And I think that's what got me so skilled, because
Speaker 9: I was constantly on them. And it doesn't even have
Speaker 9: to be a dirt bike, but also bicycles. I grew
Speaker 9: up riding BMX and dirt jumpers and all this kind
Speaker 9: of stuff and I was constantly on it. So I
Speaker 9: think with anything, it's learning by doing, and I just
Speaker 9: did it so much that I just I got super
Speaker 9: skilled at it.
Speaker 5: And you know, rain or shine, I was out.
Speaker 2: There was there ever one like jump up that was
Speaker 2: difficult or was it all pretty seamless for you?
Speaker 9: No, I mean it wasn't always easy.
Speaker 5: Before I turned pro.
Speaker 9: It just I feel like I kind of had a
Speaker 9: little bit of a dip down because I only really
Speaker 9: started training training, and this is still at a young age.
Speaker 9: But I turned pro when I was fifteen, so I
Speaker 9: had to start when I was fourteen, and I really
Speaker 9: prepared myself for starting to race the World Championship. And
Speaker 9: there was that transition before because I was technically even
Speaker 9: at this point, I was still a kid. And between
Speaker 9: let's say eleven, twelve, thirteen fourteen, right in between there,
Speaker 9: I wasn't really training, but I was writing and just
Speaker 9: having fun.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 9: My friends went into town and went to the public
Speaker 9: pool or whatever. I went with them, you know, so
Speaker 9: and then I raced just for fun. But I think
Speaker 9: a lot of people at that age they already put
Speaker 9: in that little bit of extra and training and this
Speaker 9: and that. So there was a time where I was
Speaker 9: standing still a little bit, and some other guys came
Speaker 9: became fast and they were kind of like on my level.
Speaker 9: But then I wasn't really training it. So once I
Speaker 9: started racing GPS, I really started putting in some hours
Speaker 9: and some discipline and hard work. Over a few months,
Speaker 9: I was working still a really closely with Red Bull.
Speaker 9: And so once I started training, I mean I jumped
Speaker 9: from here to here. I just made a huge step
Speaker 9: and then everybody was like, WHOA, what happened to this kid?
Speaker 5: You know?
Speaker 9: And so yeah, I was finally starting to put in
Speaker 9: work and then I just went after it. And at
Speaker 9: that young age, I was racing people that are twenty
Speaker 9: you know, twenty twenty one, twenty two, twenty three. So
Speaker 9: their body, yeah, their body is just so much more developed, right,
Speaker 9: And and there's good and bad because as a young kid,
Speaker 9: you know it is you don't really feel that much
Speaker 9: like if you have you don't have any nagging pain
Speaker 9: or like you don't get that tired.
Speaker 5: You just have a whole different feeling.
Speaker 9: I think as you get older, you get more in
Speaker 9: tuned with your body, so you start noticing all these
Speaker 9: little things or getting tired or you get hot. But
Speaker 9: at the same time, their bikes were, uh, their bodies
Speaker 9: were a lot fitter and bigger and stronger and more
Speaker 9: wal bike.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
Speaker 9: And you know, I was tiny at that point still
Speaker 9: and like a like a like a scorny little kid,
Speaker 9: and I was kind of late too with puberty, so
Speaker 9: I was full babyface and everything, and it was it
Speaker 9: was nuts.
Speaker 5: It was such a rat time.
Speaker 2: They're ripping around with twenty one year olds of a
Speaker 2: baby face and even.
Speaker 5: Totally yeah, it was. It was a wild time.
Speaker 9: And that was really my I don't want to say
Speaker 9: come up, but like once I started racing professionally, like
Speaker 9: I started doing really good at a really young age,
Speaker 9: and I was with Factory Suzuki back then got big
Speaker 9: time help from Japan and we were based together with
Speaker 9: that that was on a two fifty, so I was
Speaker 9: still riding the smaller bikes and the four to fifties,
Speaker 9: the very top elite bike and that was basically all
Speaker 9: one thing. So I got to be able to be
Speaker 9: around with those guys that have raised the GPS on
Speaker 9: the top level for many years already, so I was
Speaker 9: able to learn from them, and I was just I
Speaker 9: surrounded myself with people that were at that very very
Speaker 9: top level, and that allowed me to latch on and
Speaker 9: you know, essentially when I became their age, I just
Speaker 9: took it to another level when it came to speed
Speaker 9: and technique and finding all these little tents and hundreds
Speaker 9: that we're really fighting for nowadays.
Speaker 2: So it seems like such a detailed sport like motocross
Speaker 2: to me seems kind of in a similar way like UFC,
Speaker 2: Like if you watch it from a blind ey, like
Speaker 2: first time turning it on, you're like, oh, it just
Speaker 2: seems like guys are just riding or guys are just
Speaker 2: fighting in the UFC, And then as you pay more
Speaker 2: attention to it, there's so many minute details. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: when you're looking at tracks, there's obviously, like you know,
Speaker 2: there's larger tracks, smaller tracks, like more technical tracks. What
Speaker 2: for you is like something that you're like, I got
Speaker 2: to make sure and be on my p's and queues.
Speaker 2: Are there different like tips you give yourself You're like,
Speaker 2: all right, this burn this way, I make sure to
Speaker 2: shift into this gear like kind of kind of take
Speaker 2: me through like let's use let's just use Nashville for instance,
Speaker 2: And then contrast that to another one that's maybe a
Speaker 2: little bit different.
Speaker 9: Well, that's the crazy part about the sport. It is
Speaker 9: just never the same. You know, baseball field, football's field
Speaker 9: of course, that can be rain and everything, but it's
Speaker 9: grass and it's.
Speaker 1: Flat fifty three and third wide, it's one hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty yards.
Speaker 9: Ago kind of have the same circumstances all the time.
Speaker 9: Well for us, you know, depending on what state we
Speaker 9: go to, all the track that's soiled, the weather, everything's different.
Speaker 9: And not to mention with our bikes, there's a lot
Speaker 9: of moving parts, right, so we test suspension, we test
Speaker 9: motor stuff, we test brakes, we test clutches, because everything
Speaker 9: that you change on under a bike, there's so many
Speaker 9: moving parts, it changes on all other ends as well. Right,
Speaker 9: motor affects suspension, Suspension affects me. How come while I'm
Speaker 9: on the bike and there's just so it's a never
Speaker 9: ending story. It really is a never ending story. If
Speaker 9: you were to be a runner, long distance sprint, whatever,
Speaker 9: you have your pair of shoes that you dial in
Speaker 9: and then you're good to go. You know, it's really
Speaker 9: just how much power output you do. But with cars
Speaker 9: and motorcycles, motor gp whatever, it is. There's so many
Speaker 9: and you change something a millimeter, like the tiny little bit.
Speaker 9: It all changes to weight bias on the bike and
Speaker 9: the CG wave, which the center gravity way, you know,
Speaker 9: depending on where the weight sits on the bike. Everybody's different.
Speaker 9: Every bike has different measurements, so they're all ride different.
Speaker 9: So we do the sport so often and morning till
Speaker 9: night that we pay attention and we feel everything that
Speaker 9: we change, and at the same time, you're opening a
Speaker 9: whole other can of worms, you know.
Speaker 5: It's sometimes you chase your tail, really do.
Speaker 9: And then when it comes to the tracks, we race
Speaker 9: outdoor stadiums, indoor stadiums in hot weather and the track
Speaker 9: gets super dry and they do the best they can
Speaker 9: to keep the track the best that they can, but
Speaker 9: it's always different. Sometimes we race on hard pack. Last
Speaker 9: weekend was an absolute mutter. While we practiced all day
Speaker 9: on perfect conditions, it was really rocky last week.
Speaker 5: So it's constantly changing.
Speaker 9: And our bikes, you know, we're so heavy and we're
Speaker 9: so many riders, and because the soil can get really soft,
Speaker 9: the ruts on the takeoffs, the holes like it's never
Speaker 9: the same, you know, and it can catch you off
Speaker 9: guard really quick. So it is important that you you
Speaker 9: are really sharp and really in the moment for the
Speaker 9: time that you're on.
Speaker 5: A your bike with all the like minute details you're
Speaker 5: talking about, like center of gravity and all this, and
Speaker 5: one you change one thing, it changes a whole bunch
Speaker 5: of other things. The more you ride, obviously, the more
Speaker 5: you aware, you you become of everything around you, your clutch,
Speaker 5: your suspension.
Speaker 1: All that.
Speaker 2: Is there ever a point or has there been a
Speaker 2: point in your career where it's like you maybe became
Speaker 2: too aware to the point where you're you're overthinking it
Speaker 2: a little bit, like maybe you wiped.
Speaker 1: Out or something like that.
Speaker 2: You're like, well, it's because of you, because we all
Speaker 2: anytime I've ever ever been injured in football, I've always
Speaker 2: found this defense mechanism to be like, well, the reason
Speaker 2: why I got hurt is X, Y and Z, I
Speaker 2: did this, this and this wrong, and if I don't
Speaker 2: do that again, it's good. But then when you come
Speaker 2: back from an injury anything like that, it's like, man,
Speaker 2: what if this is off?
Speaker 1: What if that's off? And you kind of tend to
Speaker 1: overthink it a little bit.
Speaker 2: I'm doing I'm running on drop, like what if I
Speaker 2: tend to overthink a little bit, like I'm playing football,
Speaker 2: is it has that ever happened to you?
Speaker 5: Absolutely, it happens to all of us at some point.
Speaker 9: I think the best thing that you can do when
Speaker 9: you find yourself getting lost as much as you can,
Speaker 9: and I've done that multiple times. I start over stock bikes,
Speaker 9: you know, out of the box, the way that each
Speaker 9: and every bike is made. You know, they have the
Speaker 9: test riders in Japan or depending on where your bike's
Speaker 9: made from, right, and I have I've always been a
Speaker 9: believer in.
Speaker 5: OEM stock bikes out of the box.
Speaker 9: They are pretty solid, consumer friendly, right, And then from
Speaker 9: there you got to figure out what the what the
Speaker 9: problem is. Sometimes it could be a measurement, you know,
Speaker 9: a triple clams where your handlebars are attached to you
Speaker 9: can you can rake those out or bring it closer
Speaker 9: to you and all this kind of stuff. And sometimes
Speaker 9: it's just material. You know, some people have titanium bolts,
Speaker 9: some have steel. Like there's all different materials and every
Speaker 9: single different material has a different compound and feels different, right, So,
Speaker 9: like titanium is super hard and super stiff, and it
Speaker 9: can create a lot of harshness in your hands, so
Speaker 9: it's very easy to get confused. And you know, all
Speaker 9: the more important that you work with with a good team, because.
Speaker 5: In the end, it's not just my brain.
Speaker 9: If every if we're all collaborating and it works out,
Speaker 9: we can take the comments and the knowledge that I've
Speaker 9: gotten over these last few years with the right changes,
Speaker 9: with a good team behind you, you know.
Speaker 5: But at the same time, it doesn't always work that way,
Speaker 5: you know.
Speaker 9: And sometimes I can do the best training I possibly
Speaker 9: can and be super far off with my bike and
Speaker 9: you're just not winning. You know, you're not there and
Speaker 9: sounds when you're getting injured or yeah, you can get injured. Yeah,
Speaker 9: it's it's uh man, it's it's so hard, but it
Speaker 9: makes it so fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean it's a reason why, like, if everybody
Speaker 1: could do it, everyone would.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if it was easy. What's a phrase? If it
Speaker 2: was easy, everyone would do it? Yeah, thank god I
Speaker 2: landed that plane.
Speaker 1: When you're like before we we you came in here.
Speaker 2: Mitch's brother whose name's escaping me right now, he's with
Speaker 2: us on the bus. He showed me a clip was
Speaker 2: it twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen, and you went off a
Speaker 2: jump and you landed like a the at the like
Speaker 2: before the landing of another jump, and obviously just fulaid
Speaker 2: your arm had multiple surgeries. What was like, just to
Speaker 2: talk me through what one why that happened. We'll get
Speaker 2: to the rest later, but why, like why did that happen?
Speaker 2: In your expert opinion of how you ended up in
Speaker 2: that situation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So.
Speaker 9: There's a lot of different things to look at during
Speaker 9: that time, which we've in the you know, we've we've
Speaker 9: had that happen more often, but that was a very
Speaker 9: wet time in California. We just gotten a lot of rain,
Speaker 9: and uh, like I said, with conditions changing all the time, well,
Speaker 9: the transitions between all the jumps before we take off,
Speaker 9: they're they're really soft and soggy and just also inconsistent. Right,
Speaker 9: and then once we started racing, I did basically everything perfectly,
Speaker 9: but my suspension completely compressed on the bottom of the
Speaker 9: jump and it was just ged out. And by ged out,
Speaker 9: I mean when we keep hitting it over and over,
Speaker 9: the hole gets kind of deeper deeper, deeper deeper, and
Speaker 9: my my suspension essentially bottomed out and rebound it and
Speaker 9: just hit forward exactly and not just that.
Speaker 5: I think I drugged my heels and it ripped my
Speaker 5: feet off.
Speaker 9: So as soon as I started going forward basically doing
Speaker 9: a Superman I mean, I have no control at that
Speaker 9: point anymore. Right, I tried to hang on as long
Speaker 9: as I can. They're just at least somewhat just straightened
Speaker 9: my body out a little bit. But I mean I
Speaker 9: absolutely faced into the brother.
Speaker 1: It was a tough thing to watch. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: you went.
Speaker 9: Through it, but I mean right now, like I can
Speaker 9: watch it over and over. I've never really had a
Speaker 9: problem watching it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right after it happened, like you're in the hospital,
Speaker 1: I don't really remember. Honestly.
Speaker 9: The time after was super fuzzy for me because I
Speaker 9: was in the hospital for almost four weeks and I
Speaker 9: was on a lot of medication, and it scared me
Speaker 9: a little bit, all the medication stuff. But they're telling
Speaker 9: me that I'm nowhere near what people normally take. So
Speaker 9: but anyway, you know, between long lasting morphine and oxyo
Speaker 9: with the lauded whatever they give you, you know what
Speaker 9: I mean is I literally I don't really remember that
Speaker 9: much shortly after. There's there's little highlights here and there,
Speaker 9: but I was in Veil Colorado and the Stetman Clinic,
Speaker 9: which thank god because doctor Viola. You know, my arm
Speaker 9: was post I mean absolutely, I dislocated and compound fractured
Speaker 9: my radial head on my elbow right here, and then
Speaker 9: my wrist.
Speaker 1: So those of you listening, compound fracturings bone out.
Speaker 9: Of the skin, bone out of the skin my wrist
Speaker 9: as well, my radius right here. My olna was compounded
Speaker 9: at yeah, yep, correct, right here. And I actually have
Speaker 9: quite a bit of nerve damage, which it doesn't bother
Speaker 9: It's just numb skin, you know, it doesn't feel that comfortable, but.
Speaker 1: Just looks at it.
Speaker 5: Is that from uh that's from the bone coming out
Speaker 5: right here's nerve endings as it exactly. And sometimes it's
Speaker 5: not like I can do everything.
Speaker 9: My my my movement is good, but it's just a
Speaker 9: skin that's.
Speaker 5: That's a little irritated. I guess that's that's child's play.
Speaker 5: That doesn't really bother me.
Speaker 9: But I think the biggest thing was is the compartment
Speaker 9: syndrome right after from the impact, so my arms started
Speaker 9: swelling up in cords. Department syndrome is from a really
Speaker 9: heavy impact or trauma and then your mumustle start swelling
Speaker 9: and basically cuts off the blood supply. And when that
Speaker 9: happens and your muscle starts dying, and once your muscle's dead,
Speaker 9: you you can't you imputate your arms. So I was
Speaker 9: like right on that edge where that could have happened.
Speaker 9: So I ended up getting surgery. And because my wrist
Speaker 9: everything was sand paper like it was just shattered into
Speaker 9: a million pieces and dust.
Speaker 2: But when you're when you're talking about essentially your body
Speaker 2: making its own little tournique to cut off the blood
Speaker 2: blood supply pretty much exactly, how does that decision be made,
Speaker 2: like the like the surgery amputation, because you're obviously I'm
Speaker 2: assuming you got can cuss in that thing too.
Speaker 9: Like no, actually my head was conscious, never out, never,
Speaker 9: nothing had to be shocked.
Speaker 5: You know what.
Speaker 9: The crazy part is that besides this and down, I
Speaker 9: had zero pain, no nothing, no way.
Speaker 5: I wasn't even sore.
Speaker 9: I mean, granted, maybe I don't know if I was
Speaker 9: sore because that was taken off all my attention, but
Speaker 9: it was literally elbowed down to my fingers or to
Speaker 9: my wrists. Other than that, I was completely fine nothing,
Speaker 9: And which is crazy because that impact you know, it
Speaker 9: could I mean, it could have been shoulder, my chest,
Speaker 9: my sturnum, just because I absolutely it's like facing a wall, right,
Speaker 9: And you know, not all crashes are always and injuries
Speaker 9: are always that bad. You know, I've broken my both
Speaker 9: of my wrists before and gotten surgery on it, but
Speaker 9: not to this extent. You know, like you're out for
Speaker 9: for a couple of months or whatever, and that that's
Speaker 9: still heavy. But this was a whole Now, this was
Speaker 9: a career ending injury really, and that was so when
Speaker 9: I was in the hospital surgery was done that I
Speaker 9: completely kind of like dislodged myself from the sport a
Speaker 9: little bit because it was so far away if I
Speaker 9: was ever gonna be able to ride e race again,
Speaker 9: it was so far away, and I just I kind
Speaker 9: of just started even though I was in the hospital,
Speaker 9: I just started enjoying that being there comfortable, and like,
Speaker 9: am I gonna be able to race? I don't know,
Speaker 9: so I might as well, Like I started started unfollowing
Speaker 9: everybody from the sport, just like, yeah, it's the sport
Speaker 9: that I loved, and I kind of like I was
Speaker 9: a little mad, and like there was so many unknown questions.
Speaker 9: I'm just like, man, I need to, like I need
Speaker 9: to get away a little bit. You know, my parents
Speaker 9: came over, and my parents have been separated for a
Speaker 9: long time, but it was the first time in a
Speaker 9: long time that like we all felt like a family again.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 9: They came over and they were in Germany, So my
Speaker 9: entire family is in Germany. So when that happened, my wife,
Speaker 9: of course was constantly in contact with them. But it
Speaker 9: was just a really heavy time of a lot of information,
Speaker 9: and I hired my own therapist. Over two years, I
Speaker 9: did my own therapy, Like I was constantly once I
Speaker 9: was able to, I was constantly moving my skin to
Speaker 9: just get sensation and just started moving trying to.
Speaker 5: Figure out like like his brain has waves that basically
Speaker 5: tell your arms and legs where to go, and by
Speaker 5: touching it and feeling it, maybe even putting tape on
Speaker 5: it sometimes all the time, allow that purple reception to
Speaker 5: come back.
Speaker 9: I actually I laid in the grass for a little
Speaker 9: bit and started listening to David Goggins.
Speaker 5: That's kind of like when I found out about David Gagin.
Speaker 5: You know, I think he lives in brentwa He lives
Speaker 5: like right up the road oh really, Yeah, I didn't
Speaker 5: know that I heard.
Speaker 1: I don't know if don't fact check me on that.
Speaker 9: Anyway, Well, I started listening to this podcast back then,
Speaker 9: and that's when he was kind of just starting to
Speaker 9: like become noticed, and I'm like, oh, I'm gonna listen
Speaker 9: to this guy and.
Speaker 5: He's kind of like the one that made me.
Speaker 9: I flipped the switch, like where I'm like, I'm freaking
Speaker 9: doing this, and I just started hammering away.
Speaker 5: Basically didn't give myself any room for air.
Speaker 9: I told myself I was gonna come back and be
Speaker 9: the best writer in the world, and just every single
Speaker 9: day just grinded towards it.
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, I was at super early. Actually, I wish
Speaker 5: I would have waited with that a little bit.
Speaker 9: I started working out again, and like I had a
Speaker 9: StairMaster in my house with my arm up in the air,
Speaker 9: and I was just walking for hours on the StairMaster,
Speaker 9: and I'm like, why did I even do that? Because
Speaker 9: I was a year out from racing, you know what
Speaker 9: I mean. But at the same time, I had to
Speaker 9: keep myself busy a little bit. I wish I would
Speaker 9: have taken that time to like maybe not work out
Speaker 9: and kind of like actually take it as like, hey,
Speaker 9: maybe let's rest a little bit, you know, and this
Speaker 9: thing do its thing. But yeah, I just I started
Speaker 9: working full speed ahead, and I think it came with
Speaker 9: some other problems too. You know, I'm not the best
Speaker 9: writer in the world, but I feel like the reason
Speaker 9: I am back at the top level is because I
Speaker 9: charged after my dream pretty much full speed, hiring my
Speaker 9: own physical therapists and and even at night, I was
Speaker 9: just constantly moving it. You know, elbow is a pain
Speaker 9: in the ass to get range of motion back. Like
Speaker 9: my elbow I still can't lock it out, and my
Speaker 9: wrists are super stiff. But yeah, it's I mean, it's
Speaker 9: good now because I have just healed over years. Like
Speaker 9: I kid you, not three years later.
Speaker 1: I how many surgeries?
Speaker 3: Mmm?
Speaker 9: I think on my left arm was eleven or twelve.
Speaker 9: There were eight in the first three weeks. I mean,
Speaker 9: it was just constant. And yeah, I backed it up
Speaker 9: a year later with destroying my right hand and that
Speaker 9: was almost a career ending injury too.
Speaker 5: So there were just a couple of years of like shit.
Speaker 9: Going on, you know what I mean, And then it's
Speaker 9: been a really tough road ever since. But I'm in
Speaker 9: a good spot now and I'm starting to get older too,
Speaker 9: But I'm having more fun now than i I've had
Speaker 9: in a long long time.
Speaker 1: And that's ultimately what it's all about.
Speaker 2: Right when you when you say at the end of
Speaker 2: that sentence, I'm getting a little older too. Is there
Speaker 2: is there a piece of anybody who's able to play
Speaker 2: a professional sport, whatever category it is, and it always
Speaker 2: comes for them.
Speaker 1: Have you ever put that in your mind?
Speaker 2: Because at one point in our lives, all you thought
Speaker 2: about was I'm gonna do this forever. All I thought
Speaker 2: about was I'm gonna do football forever. But at some
Speaker 2: point it comes to get us all like father time
Speaker 2: comes and gets us. What are you know from a
Speaker 2: transition standpoint, not saying it's gonna happen anytime soon, but
Speaker 2: have you put any thought into that?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean sometimes so retirement used to always sound
Speaker 9: so far away. I'm turning twenty nine tomorrow, so I'm
Speaker 9: not old by any means.
Speaker 2: But for our sport, a lot of the great so
Speaker 2: once you hit thirty, it's pretty much over.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean all of it.
Speaker 9: We've we're kind of changing the stigma around the sport
Speaker 9: a little bit. Because everybody before us, the great they
Speaker 9: stopped at twenty seven, which is super early, but there's
Speaker 9: just a lot of there was a lot of stuff
Speaker 9: going on with overtraining and just getting burnt out and
Speaker 9: basically being over it, and I think we have all
Speaker 9: kind of tried to uh steer away from that and
Speaker 9: prolong our career because if I'm being honest, like I'm
Speaker 9: a little afraid of retirement, not gonna.
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, that's a totally normal thing to do in general.
Speaker 9: I'm a busybody and I have a lot of hobbies
Speaker 9: and all of this, But at the same time, I've
Speaker 9: done this my entire life, and I'm just super scared
Speaker 9: of falling into a just have a big hole somewhere.
Speaker 9: You know that this sport gets tough, and does that
Speaker 9: do I feel like sometimes I want to be done
Speaker 9: with it, absolutely, But then to actually really pull the
Speaker 9: plug is a whole other story.
Speaker 5: But that all sounded so far away. But now like
Speaker 5: last year, you know, I wasn't.
Speaker 9: I was in a really shit spot, you know, with
Speaker 9: my with my health and just even mantis like I
Speaker 9: was so burnt out on everything and been with the
Speaker 9: same team for six years that wasn't working anymore by
Speaker 9: any means, and I made a huge change and followed
Speaker 9: my heart, honestly, like big time move, going with the
Speaker 9: progressive ex Or Suzuki team and the pious family.
Speaker 5: They have taken me in and we have worked full
Speaker 5: speed ahead.
Speaker 9: We were basically underdogs coming in the season and we
Speaker 9: ended up pulling off up until now we have a
Speaker 9: few podiums and we have one big win in Indianapolis.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and.
Speaker 9: It was a lot of work, but my entire life
Speaker 9: changed from I feel like being stagnant and just standing
Speaker 9: in the same spot and being unhappy, pulling a big
Speaker 9: move and following my gut and just working towards it
Speaker 9: and kind of like re.
Speaker 5: Just restarting my career a little.
Speaker 9: Bit and my eager and just kind of learn how
Speaker 9: to just be badass again.
Speaker 5: And and I'm nowhere near where I want to be.
Speaker 9: But we we had it tough because it was the
Speaker 9: season was about to start. I made the switch, and
Speaker 9: I had three weeks on the bike and we had
Speaker 9: to do a lot of work to the bike and
Speaker 9: develop it more and more and more. We're the only
Speaker 9: bike with a kickstart out there, which is kind of cool.
Speaker 9: We've taken I've taken full advantage of it.
Speaker 5: I have fun with this.
Speaker 9: It's old school, but you know, I sometimes get made
Speaker 9: fun of in the beginning of the season when I
Speaker 9: was kicking my bike because I saw like I was
Speaker 9: bumming around on the track and I stalled it on
Speaker 9: the side like a dumb ass, right, and I'm trying
Speaker 9: to fight a neutral And at that point, I was
Speaker 9: still pretty new to the kickstart again. But I'm like,
Speaker 9: what's so funny? Like we have kickstarted bikes for longer
Speaker 9: than we have electric started it, you know what I mean.
Speaker 9: So I've just taken advantage of the situation. And we
Speaker 9: have a kickstarter, there's no denying it, and I have
Speaker 9: fun with it. So I make fun of myself. We
Speaker 9: chromed out my kickstarter at one point just to highlight it,
Speaker 9: you know what I mean.
Speaker 5: And people love it.
Speaker 9: Like the support that we've gotten from the fans each
Speaker 9: and every weekend is so rad to see because it's
Speaker 9: it's totally different. We're we're pretty much privateer team, and
Speaker 9: we run a lot of dock parts with sponsors, of course,
Speaker 9: but we're doing our own thing and we're we're all
Speaker 9: pulling on the same string, and we do whatever is
Speaker 9: best for the bike and for a rider, that's all
Speaker 9: you want that, you know, I've been more on bad
Speaker 9: bikes in my career than i've been on really good bikes,
Speaker 9: and now simply because of when you're with factory. Team
Speaker 9: is a huge ego and you're always working in a
Speaker 9: little box and we tend to venture out left and right,
Speaker 9: throw the kitchen sink at the bike. And that's the
Speaker 9: only reason why we are where we are because that's
Speaker 9: how we found out a lot of things and we
Speaker 9: started learning. And yeah, we're just we're just all working
Speaker 9: in the same direction.
Speaker 5: And it's such a breath of fresh air. Yeah, you
Speaker 5: feel good about it. Absolutely. It seems like a calming
Speaker 5: feeling for you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is that.
Speaker 9: Yeah, And because I'm calm when we're at least doing
Speaker 9: whatever we can to improve and then if it's not
Speaker 9: in our car, so be it. But we tried anything
Speaker 9: and everything, you know, and and not just me personally,
Speaker 9: but everybody else on the team.
Speaker 5: So yeah, that that's that's all I want.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 5: Results are always winning is of course I want to win.
Speaker 9: But they've had great rides or races where I rode better,
Speaker 9: and you know, finished on a podium a third or
Speaker 9: whatever and not one, but rode a lot better. And
Speaker 9: I'm content with that because sometimes you shit's out of
Speaker 9: your control, you go down on the start, you come
Speaker 9: back and you can finish a fourth, but if that's
Speaker 9: really important for the championship, you're not on the podium,
Speaker 9: but you had a hell of a ride. That's what
Speaker 9: I base my feelings off of. You know how much
Speaker 9: effort I am, the team I put in.
Speaker 2: When I uh first got this opportunity was Bitch reached
Speaker 2: out about Supercross and they were giving us an awesome
Speaker 2: opportunity to speak with you and they're telling me you're
Speaker 2: a fan favorite.
Speaker 1: What like, well, how does that feel?
Speaker 2: The kind of be the face of a of a
Speaker 2: massive sport and know that like fans have your back
Speaker 2: wherever you're going.
Speaker 5: It's it's the coolest thing ever.
Speaker 9: I mean, I I was en route to get a
Speaker 9: lot of championships, but it just with this injury and
Speaker 9: it just unfortunately didn't happen the way we planned. And
Speaker 9: I'm in content with it. I'm fine with it. I
Speaker 9: think we get thrown at ass only what we can handle.
Speaker 9: And even though it gets tough at times, right, But
Speaker 9: I guess I don't speak that about myself, but if
Speaker 9: people say that I'm one of the fan favorites, it's
Speaker 9: it's I'm honored, honestly. During this injury too, I've gotten
Speaker 9: so many messages of me helping people because I think
Speaker 9: that was right before I started like really kicking ass
Speaker 9: and what I wanted, even though the odds were stacked
Speaker 9: against me and it was a situation that could be
Speaker 9: super bummed about and just fizzle down the drain and
Speaker 9: make nothing out of it, but I decided not to
Speaker 9: and it helped so many other people that were in
Speaker 9: a shit situation as well. So even just that alone,
Speaker 9: you know, it made it all worth it. And I'm
Speaker 9: honestly just being myself. I've always been a kid that
Speaker 9: has been very open. I talk to anybody, I hang
Speaker 9: out with anybody. I'm an extrovert actually, so it made
Speaker 9: things a lot easier just because I can interact with fans.
Speaker 9: And of course when it comes to the writing side
Speaker 9: of things, you know, I like to have fun, throw whibs,
Speaker 9: do knack knacks, but race at the very very top
Speaker 9: level at the same time and just do cool shit
Speaker 9: like I feel like everybody or a lot of people
Speaker 9: tend to go like robots, you know, and this boor
Speaker 9: like it consumes all of us. Don't get me wrong,
Speaker 9: but I tend to have fun and do some freestyle stuff,
Speaker 9: free writing, and hang out with people from that are
Speaker 9: more in the freestyle world, and just entertain my people
Speaker 9: Instagram followers and everything.
Speaker 5: But it comes naturally to me.
Speaker 9: I have fun doing that, so when I can offer
Speaker 9: stuff to them and I get a lot of good
Speaker 9: feedback on it, it's super broad.
Speaker 2: It's a vulnerable place, being able to put yourself, especially
Speaker 2: on Instagram, sharing your story of being hurt, working through that,
Speaker 2: showing your process, but a lot of good things.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's amazing. Yeah, it's being transparent, and.
Speaker 2: Especially in the world we live in today, is one
Speaker 2: of the hardest things to do because so many people
Speaker 2: via social media want to take advantage of your vulnerability.
Speaker 1: Freeing though, Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 5: Because once you just live out there, there's really no
Speaker 5: skeletons that there's no there's no one in the back room.
Speaker 2: Knocking on the door saying, hey, the truth's here. You're
Speaker 2: telling everybody the truth. You're telling everybody how you actually
Speaker 2: feel good or bad. It makes you feel a whole
Speaker 2: lot better.
Speaker 9: I feel like people, or at least me, I get
Speaker 9: a lot more uncomfortable if I have shit piled up
Speaker 9: in me and I don't talk about it.
Speaker 1: Like I'm and people can feel that too, yeah.
Speaker 5: And especially problems.
Speaker 9: And it didn't used to be like that, but at
Speaker 9: some point I did, so when I talk to my
Speaker 9: friends or whatever, like I'm open about when people struggle,
Speaker 9: because I've been uncomfortable at times because it was all
Speaker 9: new to me, like just being uncomfortable and just mentally
Speaker 9: and just not in the right place and it's not
Speaker 9: a fun spot to be. And so once I once
Speaker 9: I started opening up to people, and it's just when
Speaker 9: people know, and it doesn't have to be strangers or anything,
Speaker 9: but like at least people around you, when they know
Speaker 9: how you feel and everything, it just made it made
Speaker 9: you feel like the understanding you're just not alone. Right,
Speaker 9: So I don't know, I tend to be more of
Speaker 9: an open book. And in the end, people try to
Speaker 9: hie and training and you know, I'm like, we're all
Speaker 9: do the freaking same thing. I just have fun with it.
Speaker 9: I post my workout, you know, whatever I do and
Speaker 9: I'm like, if people want to follow it, not everything
Speaker 9: works for everybody the same way, you know what I mean.
Speaker 9: So I've just I've taken that ego down and I've
Speaker 9: just started to enjoy it and let people in and
Speaker 9: people are appreciative.
Speaker 1: And it's cool. That's awesome. Man.
Speaker 2: I know, I know we're probably running out of time here,
Speaker 2: but I have one more question.
Speaker 5: If I am three five.
Speaker 2: Years old getting into dirt bikes and I wanted to
Speaker 2: see a blueprint of how to race and supercross, what
Speaker 2: is the what does the process look like for the
Speaker 2: individual just learning out about supercross and the process of
Speaker 2: how to get from an amateur to become at the
Speaker 2: spot you are now.
Speaker 9: Yeah, So I think it all has to start with
Speaker 9: fun and games. Like you, I think you can't force it,
Speaker 9: or I wouldn't want to force it. My son loves
Speaker 9: bikes of any kind, and for us, it all started
Speaker 9: off as fun and games and what's cool about it.
Speaker 5: It's a little bit I guess the amateurs here.
Speaker 9: I didn't really grow up racing amateurs in the US,
Speaker 9: Like I know, I've raced Loretta Lynz, which is the
Speaker 9: biggest amateur race there is every single year and it's
Speaker 9: about a week's worth of racing. It's kind of like
Speaker 9: the Olympics in a way, the week worth of racing
Speaker 9: from fifty cts meaning little dudes to thirty plus and yeah,
Speaker 9: Mini Olympics Florida. That was one of my first ones
Speaker 9: that I ever went to in the US. But it
Speaker 9: all start as funning games for me as a kid.
Speaker 9: And I think what my parents loved is the camping
Speaker 9: side of things us going to the races. And I
Speaker 9: made so many friends and we were not on our
Speaker 9: iPads or playing PlayStation. We were out building jumps and
Speaker 9: it all started as that. And you know, as I
Speaker 9: got better and better, we know, you start local, you
Speaker 9: mentor out and before you know it, if that's what
Speaker 9: you want to do, you hit some of the big
Speaker 9: time amateur championships I guess, which is many Olympics in
Speaker 9: Florida and Loretta lynz Is. I think everybody that has
Speaker 9: one tie here in the US, they have gone through
Speaker 9: the amateur racist like that.
Speaker 5: So that's awesome but fun. That's all I can say, is.
Speaker 2: No doubt that was It was truly my first passion
Speaker 2: in life, just getting on a dirt bike and riding.
Speaker 9: And we tend to forget to write, like when things
Speaker 9: get tough, especially once you once you do become pro
Speaker 9: and everything, and then sometimes you're like, man, like you're
Speaker 9: more you know, just uncomfortable and it doesn't feel right.
Speaker 9: But I have learned to let go of some things
Speaker 9: and really focus on the task at hand and and
Speaker 9: be engaged in the sport and find the fun again.
Speaker 9: And just that way you alleviate pressure off of yourself
Speaker 9: and you start doing better. So I think the biggest
Speaker 9: thing is you got to start with it being fun.
Speaker 2: Well, I appreciate you coming on. Man, this has been awesome.
Speaker 2: Thank you be great to meet you. I can't wait
Speaker 2: to watch your race tomorrow. It's gonna be awesome. For
Speaker 2: those of you listening, please subscribe, rate five stars, and
Speaker 2: thank you for joining us on Busting with the Boys.
