Anybody else feel like when they first listened to the vital podcast they were like “who tf is this british guy and why is he talking”… After listening to the podcast all year I must say hes an awesome commentator and his emotion is a breath of fresh air. Its cool to have so many different non robotic voices commenting on the racing these days. I feel like we all know all of the major players in the us racing scene and its rare to get a new person who slips in to the fold so seamlessly, so good job man. You got a new fan in me.

Lewis can have some pretty hot takes... but I enjoy that. He's not afraid to let a few hurt feelings get in the way of the truth. Plus, he's as passionate about moto as anyone can get. So... kuddos to you Lewis. Keep up the good work. 

But, for the love of God, ML... you need to bring him up to speed on some iconic movies! The dude is a pop-culture-fish-out-of-water when he's on Pulp Grinning

We've tried, but he has zero interest in movies...music...etc. If it isn't dirtbike-related, good luck, the man does not care.

Big props to Lewis, he elevates the entire VitalMX platform.

I love hearing Lewis's analysis of the US races, he points out things we haven't really focused on before. Hell, just the stats articles are a great addition. 

I'm also glad they continued the MXGP Review podcast with Adam Wheeler, we are seriously spoiled by the vital crew! And yall don't act like the audience is a burden, major ups to Vital, Lewis, ML and all.

Yet somehow he still wins the Pulp Trivia segment 2 times running!

It's a great trio. All of them bring something different to the table.

Some might describe your performances as Stewart outdoors 08 - "ish"

Nah, he finds it funny. It's all a laugh. Same with Ben Watson... The whole Watson Wagon thing is just a good time.

I appreciate the comments! I know my accent is bad and I'm in no way perfect, but I'm trying to be the best possible.

I've still got a long way to go to get to a point where I'm happy, but I'm trying to get better each week.

 I was a big fan of Lewis before he came to vital and he has been a great addition to the US media. Thanks for classing the place up Lewis!

His lack of knowledge on anything mon-moto is legendary in the UK..  i seem to recall he didnt even know who Freddie Mercury was at one point.  

That said, i dont do movies either.

To paraphrase the original K-Dub, I been around and I know a lot of people.

I even used to be a media guy in the sport. That was seemingly a lifetime ago, and to be sure a better life than I'm leading now.

That said, and a grumpy old man's umbrage against most of these snot-nosed millennials that never really raced working in moto media nowadays aside... I like this Lewis fella.

Accent included.

(Side note, I want my steveyd account back, but have no idea what email I used back at the turn of the century.)

does he at least like girls? (or boys whatever..that's fine too), or does he just like moto.,

Totally agree with this. Nice additions to the site for sure.

I liked Lewis’s old podcast                                  
 I like Lewis here. 
 The only time I’ll listen to pulp is when Lewis is on. 
 The last time Lewis was on pulp was imo the best pulp show ever. 
 

 I’m driving the Lewis fanwagaon.

Yeah Lewis brings so much to Vital! The post race interviews are always on point (the competition has became a bit "fat and happy" in this regard) and the GP podcasts are great as always (no US media does anything worthwile regarding GPs).

Truth be told he's the only person capable of hosting pulp if Steve decides to retire but wishes to keep the show alive.
