So... The boys, good show by the way, stacked studio... The other TP, BigBore, DV, Steve and Weegey on the phone... discussing MXdN, Straight Rhythm, and RV moving to Europe.
Weegey was saying that on the racerx website stats, the Straight Rhythm articles were generating way more hits than the MXdN stuff.
Shame on you all! SHAME!

Speaking of Pulp MX about a month ago I tuned in live while I was working with my 17 year old Downs Syndrome student hoping I could listen to the show in the background. That plan didn't last long. A guy was chapped with Jeremy Albrecht for not signing Politelli and was dropping F bombs which while disappointing wasn't really a surprise but when the guy let the C word fly that rhymes with runt and the production crew didn't bat an eye I was like whoa. I was already shutting things down because of the F bombs but the C word caught me by surprise.
What do you think is acceptable or unacceptable for a show about our sport on the Internet? No rules and everything goes or is the C word off limits and only in rare situations are F bombs permitted?
For the record F U to anyone that says I am the language police. :-) Seriously I am only posing the question. My personal opinion is unchecked language like this is a poor reflection on our sport but that's just MY opinion. I had a big debate with a former photo journalist about this topic when McGrath had his first SX deal with the steel ramps. The music at the stadium was F this and F that which I found unacceptable for a family event like a SX. This person didn't think SX/MX was a family sport either so there you go.
I am 58 and I see people talking through the National Anthem with their hats on, guys walking in front of women or letting a woman hold the door for them! so I appreciate my views are more than a little dated regarding what is proper and what isn't.
What's your opinion?
BUT
It is the internet. It's not regulated. That's pretty much end of story. Unless the host has a personal mandate to not have swearing, people will talk how they talk. You do often hear people drop an accidental f-bomb and then ask if they can swear.... but Steve lets it go. I don't mid either way but understand your point for sure.
The Shop
I was raised with old school values. Something seriously lacking these days.
For me, the MXDN is the most important event of the year. It’s the "World Cup" of motocross.
That said, I grew up in the 1980s when beating the Europeans in the early 1980s was nearly impossible. There is a reason why "The O'Show" is one of my childhood sport heroes.
* I hope the youth see the importance in the MXDN
Rcm... I disagree. It's personal preference for sure but the MXdN is one of my top 3 races all year. A1, Budds and MXdN.
Watched every second of the MXdN and in my eyes it was by far the bigger, more important and interesting event. Less glitter and more racing IMHO. Hope RV2 going there next year generates even more interest.
That said I cannot wait for RBSR next year - not exactly motocross but fun to watch!
Edit* I just noticed queen of spodes mentioned the Pastrana factor,
It's like when you find out your Wife or kids like the Kardashians. It's just bullshit. (edited down for Rock)
Pit Row
As for the rbsr vs. the mxdn I am surprised. The mxdn is always a big deal with a lot of hype leading up to it and I kind of felt like rbsr was under the radar somewhat.
The reality shows allowing all language thinking bleeping it does anything is a bad joke. I saw a commercial awhile ago that had a word bleeped out and I was like man is this what the world is coming to?
Personally I think your A couple curse words here and there are not a big deal but the "c" word should never be said in front of a public audience is very reasonable plus I would lengthen it A couple curse words here and there are not a big deal but the "c" word should never be said in front of a public audience or over the Internet."
One last thing, what about when you see a couple on TV or in the movies walking on the street and the man is on the inside? WTH! Anyone that isn't old school probably won't get this but that's cool too.
EDIT: The MXdN is, always has been and always will be THE race to go to. Bercy SX used to rival the MXdN somewhat in the 90s but for years the MXdN has ruled IMHO.
Forget the USGP I want to know where will the MXdN be in the US?
I don't think the language is a big deal, but I could see how it might limit the audience. I like the loose, shoot the shit feel of the show.
The adage you'll catch more flies with honey than vinegar is well known. It appears however to many they've either never learned or have forgotten having manners is something that most people appreciate.
Also if you are truly a fan of the sport and give two hoots about the growth of the sport remember every time we speak about the sport we can be influencing someone to participate or turning someone off by our actions and language. If you don't agree that's your prerogative and one that I respect.
Who's to say this type of podcast isn't attracting the fans that don't get butthurt about a few silly words, and who aren't stupid enough to play it in front of their kids.
Seriously mate, just when I thought you couldn't make another thread where you want to add to the rule book, you bang out more beauties today...
The *ucks given over any curse word.. at all is null.. negative
There are a few who care... but for the most part.. i seriously doubt anybody i personally know cares about any of the words.. especially *unt... as I will call somebody that with zero *ucks given
Don't care at all
I draw the line if the kid is under 13 then i try to watch my mouth.
But one thing i will always stand by is that. The kids hear worse from their mothers in rush hour traffic than they will in a movie, music etc.
I was at the mc invitational back then and was 16 so it was all find and dandy by me lol.
as for the sport... I Guess i see you guys points as you're in the age range of the people paying people to represent.. But i truly dislike the disconnect of (Political Correctness) talk
1) F U
2) Seriously mate how about working on the reading comprehension before you make a post IE where I want to add to the rule book. Blows me away how afraid some are to talk about things but these same people are so quick to twist the question around back on me.
For the record F U to anyone that says I am the language police. :-) Seriously I am only posing the question.
We were all taken a little by suprise by how awesome it was. I hope it is here to stay along with sx and mx.
I just hate the Kardashians! The Red Bull straight rhythm is the kardashianafication of motocross!!!
