I've got to say that Denny is the best. I wish he was on the show all the time.

Great show as always (and you didn't shy away from asking Matt the uncomfortable questions, even if he gave a canned answer). A couple of things I thought of while you guys were talking though:
Regarding the whole Kenny diet thing: I think you and DV are right, but it seems funny. During supercross everyone was bowing down to Aldon's program, basically saying if you're not on it you can't win (hey, he should be the spokesman for X-Brand goggles too!). Now we are 3 rounds into Kenny winning and you, DV, and many others are like yeah, whatever, you don't need all that training. So first of all, pick a side. Second of all, I think you are right but you're kind of missing the point of Kenny's comments. When Dungey switched to Aldon, he repeatedly said that it brought one component to his program that was previously missing - confidence. Dungey wasn't suddenly in any better shape than before, but he had confidence in himself and his program that translated to the track. I think Kenny is being very smart with those comments. They aren't a jab-jab at aldon, they are a jab at Dungey's confidence. Up until now, Dungey has had absolute confidence in his program. Kenny is trying to break that down by pointing out that he is doing the opposite and still winning. If Kenny succeeds in diminishing Dungey's confidence in his program, it will make a much bigger difference than anything Aldon can do.
Regarding the chase format, one thing no one seems to be considering is how much better this may be for the riders for two reasons. First, if the beginning part of the series is not as critical to the championship, you may see riders actually having an off-season again which will translate to less burnout (i.e. RV, RC, etc). They won't have to show up at Anaheim at 100%, knowing they can fine tune and test during the first part of the series. Second, it will improve rider safety (at least during the initial portion of the series). If riders are doing well in the points and have an injury, they will be less likely to ride injured because they can afford to lose some points.
Anyway, good show and good luck finding something to talk about in the 450 class from here on now that Kenny will be winning by a minute plus with Dungey's absence.

"I just wanna here the motocross stuff" lol
Every. Single. Show.
Great content, and while I'm one of the those that greatly enjoyed Kenny's often-times bad attitude — comedy gold — I also really like the current rotating group, and in a way DV brings back a little of the crankiness that's missing without OG K-Dub. Insert irony here.
Keefer is great, Ping is funny, more Berluti please, and of course JT is the essential part of the package. (Those few who might remember who the hell I am, which is nobody, especially now, know I go way way back with J.)
Now, with the apple well polished — Matthes, for chrissakes, how hard is it to remember to put a g-dam download link on the page? I listen live sometimes, but more often use the show to make various drivetimes shorter. Beats the hell out of NPR. But I-tunes is a pain in the ass, and it uses up a shitload of a poor man's cell service data plan to stream the show. Far better to download the show on a laptop, then drag it onto a phone.
BUT NOT WHEN THERE'S NO F'ING LINK.
Love the show man. But like, every third week, there's no damn download link. Like, now, for instance.
Granted, 90 percent of us are all dildos, but a little more consistent customer service slash listener access, cool?
I just wanna (be able to) hear the motocross stuff.
Matthes, you should feel free to charge again for the new app. I just hope Travis can make the live stream in it as reliable as listening to it directly on pulpmxshow.com.
I like the rotating cohosts as well. DV was great this last show. You should get Denny back in there again too. Keep up the good work.
so you can't really say there is much evidence to prove that they aren't slow.
