Pulp is more of a funny vibe and that has a lot of inside jokes and comedy.
Mixed bag show format
To me the comparison is pulpmx vs dmxs vs main event.
Whiskey throttle is the more serious deep dive
Long form format
Whiskey throttle vs steve matthes show vs gypsy tales
Your point on him making the show more of a conversation....that's what I've been saying. Just guys sitting around bs'ing, reminiscing.
I'll say it again...Ping/Grant...don't change a thing. The show is working.
I was really disappointed. . .
Not because of Pingree. . . But it turned into the Grant Langston show. . .
He had to top every Ping story. . . I wish ping would do another, so much left to talk about .
"When I was racing . . ." GL
I like GL. . . but it's not the GL show....
The not so behind the scenes political disagreements between Ping and Steve are a sign of the times and unfortunate that it can’t be civil. I love a good debate but these days it gets personal quickly.
As mentioned, both shows are entirely different. Both legit in their own way.
Can anyone shed light on a short version of Ping's political views?, as I don't play with Twatter. I'm guessing they fall in line with mine (cough plandemic) , or maybe I am way off, but Mathes has some valid points. Politics shouldn't define us or ruin friendships, even though it's a difficult time right now and we all have strong differing opinions.
I'm just super stoked Whiskey got rid of that buttrock intro song.by Volbeat? (I googled buttrock bands and figured out their name) Nails on a chalkboard with that shit.

Regarding this thread, there really is no comparison between the two shows; they are very different. That show is more of a TMZ for the moto community and we are more of a JRE... without the elk hunting and DMT trips. Our show is YouTube focused, with show numbers as high as 87k views, and theirs is podcast directed. He's started putting up GoPro camera footage, but it isn't edited or shot in a finished studio like ours is. And their show is getting between 5k and 10k views, so although he runs his mouth about numbers, from a viewing metric, it's not even close. He also likes to point out that watching for as little as ten second counts as a view... but our average view time is 45 minutes and we have over 90 million minutes of view time since we started. And if you subscribe to a podcast, even if you don't listen to an episode, it counts as a download. So, I prefer the YouTube view time metric for our sponsors because it is absolute.
Here's the takeaway, guys... you don't have to pick a team. Both shows are good moto entertainment and you don't have to pick a side.
And whilst I think their Pulp YouTube is definitely inspired by your show (so credit to you there), Pulp has also done that pretty well, it’s a good production, multiple cameras, good lighting, very similar to the JRE in which you compared your show to. Saying it is just "GoPro footage" is not really fair.
I wonder if you thought it was TMZ when you were a regular co-host?
It seems a shame that you guys have had a falling out over politics and podcasts. But you both (equally in my opinion) seem like you are being dicks about it, taking shots at each other on social media, forums and your shows.
Have either of you picked up the phone to try and hash it out? actually who cares. A rising tide floats all boats, its great to have lots of quality content out there. and not everyone needs to be friends. But lets not all fight like 15 year old girls either.
I agree with the last statement, there is no need to pick a side, and I genuinely enjoy both shows, the more content the merrier.
what a douchebag thing to say, you do a great show, but id rather listen to pulpmx any day, as does the majority of the "moto community" judging by the slaughtering you are receiving in this poll
And To Tuna and the others who think I’m taking digs... just replying to Steve’s rant comments, which were way off base. We agreed on $420 because he was offering a flight and hotel plus the $100. I told him to forget the flight and hotel and just add that to my show fee. I either crashed on his couch or drove home after the show. But he didn’t mention that and twisted it to fit his narrative.
Ping, I do like and appreciate your long format, just don’t listen a lot as I have several favorite pods that take up most of my listening time.
Some fans love it and some are turned off by it. No problem. As I've stated before, choice is good in the moto community. Win/Win.
