I'm a big fan.  Steve is the Howard Stern of motocross and the sport needs it a little.  I like how he pokes a little bit....

The review pod is usually my favourite, I do agree that this weeks one wasn’t the best, but I still found myself laughing and enjoying it..

I wish JT would say what he really thinks, it’s like he is stepping on eggshells all the time..

weege’s feld ties were painfully obvious, but he is trying to land his dream job so what do you expect.

“It’s not like they are trying to show Jett more than any other rider” ummmm I firmly disagree there haha

JT is a Puppet for a paycheck always has been he's just that type of person.

People complaining about to much chit chat at the start, why do you not just skip the start ?

I don't recall him ever being booed until this week, so to say it has nothing to do with the Anderson incident and subsequent aftermath would be a weird take.

Just my opinion, and I was impartial to Jett (never pulled for him but never rooted against him either), but I think ALL the attention and focus on him backfired after the Anderson thing.

It was super easy to pile on after all of that, not because it was some absolutely horrendous outburst, but because he had been put so far up on a pedestal he seemed infallible. Unfair to Jett? Maybe. But it definitely wasn't unwelcomed by Honda and the rest of their camp. 

Maybe I read between the lines too much, but when Lars was on the Pulp show he seemed to downplay it all and try to temper the hype, even though his rider went undefeated as a rookie outdoors. Maybe he saw this coming.

JT has also mentioned MANY times how much of a "kid" Jett is off the track. He's given specific examples of it as well, one of which having to do with a riders mom or sister, I can't remember exactly.

Nobody can deny the hype and attention he's gotten, warranted or unwarranted doesn't matter - when a rider is put on a pedestal THAT high and leans into it like he and his camp did, man the fall is going to be hard when the golden boy image and perfection is tarnished.

Jett 100% got cheers when he wrecked in the heat at a1 too

The Pulp review pod is definitely dropping in quality. It's still great, but it does feel like they assume that the listeners are tuning in to get an update on their lives when we're actually tuning in to hear their thoughts on the racing. The Vital review show is my fist pick these days. I also like the Title 24 podcast. RC has a weird style, complementing everything Villopoto says like he's spouting some incredible wisdom every time he speaks, but I really like hearing their takes on the racing.

I found this weeks review hilarious. JT's comment about Steve "morphing into Bob Costas," just from putting on an alpinestars jacket made me full on Weege laugh. I appreciate that "we" get to be small part of the banter that goes on in the 100 group texts these industry personalities are part of. Plenty of racing talk as well, so no complaints from me.

I’ve been a big Pulp fan for many years, but find myself listening to the Pulp show and the review show less and less, due to the relentless and increasing amount of banter and schtick. Cut (or just reduce, really) the substantial amount of fluff, and it’s fantastic. The Feld tie in with JT and Weege is definitely an issue, and it would be nice if there was a bigger variety of “regulars” in the rotation of Pulp guests. 

Different strokes…

personally I like that it’s just JT weege and Steve.

However Zach is great on Moto 60, but still feels like he is holding back a little..

He definitely holds back. I think he has something cooking. Steve has mentioned a few times why is he riding so much and what color were you riding. Curious if he has something in the works with a new Manufacturer.

I love that Weedge and JT got a shot at the TV and they both are doing their work great but I also noticed that in recent weeks review pods aren't as in depth as they used to and their casual talk about who was at the press box etc. was way too long.

Not there best review pod. Sometimes the opening banter is funny sometimes not. In this case it was not...and it wasn't the usual 20 minutes of banter...

I'm kinda starting to think that they should rotate out Weege and JT. They are biased and that's OK, they need to protect their Feld gigs. But it takes away from the "Review".

Instead of having both JT and Weege on every week, how about just one of them is on at a time and substitute some Pulp regulars like Clason, Starling, Kellen...maybe even AC?

I ain’t tryna hea no damn privateers on a damn a race review pod , leave the shit be with Matthes , JT & weege

Yeah the point about not trying to show Jett more than any other rider is pretty unbelievable. How stupid do they think their audience is?

Jetts EVERY move is covered throughout the night, even showing him picking his gate WHILE a 250 main is on the track. Meanwhile JT, Weege, and Steve have NO CLUE why Sexton got 11th in a main. 

The defending champion is outside the top ten and nobody knows why, it's not even talked about on the live show, but we know what gate Jett picked. Makes sense.

 Steve and JTs banter is just past it’s prime for me.

Man way to much banter.

I'm 30 mins into and all they have talked about is Steve's new jacket.

The podcast from last week was 17 minutes of BS before they got to the racing.    I skipped past it all.  I just wanted to hear what they said about AP and Jett-a-prompterGate.

I listened to Pulp since the beginning, but there is too much back and forth banter now.  Originally, Steve spoke his mind and wasn’t afraid of what Feld or the riders thought.  Now that he has his hands in so many cookie jars, he gives us boring neutered opinions that are so bland that they offer nothing to debate.  That is why he is forced to debate a jacket to fill time.  Recently I have enjoyed Stewart’s podcast for his observations on rider techniques.  I listened to DV’s podcast for the first time last week.  He has the NFG attitude Steve had prior to selling out, and I sure hope he keeps it up!

The show as a whole has gotten a lot less enjoyable, at least to me. Every week the same inside jokes and conversations, weege’s love affair with brayton, Phil being grumpy etc etc. The stuff is no longer funny IMO.

Bubba's podcast is awesome. He doesn't hold back and he's breakdown of rider's mentality is next level. 

Where can I find DV's podcast???
I wasn't even aware that there is one.

It’s called DV TALKS MOTO, available on Spotify, possibly through other podcast outlets as well.

I’m in the camp of none of this stuff is all that serious so I still enjoy listening to the show. Plenty of pods to listen to so I’m sure there’s one out there to fill your cup if this one isn’t your cup of tea. 

Everything was always better “back in the day”.

Instant "zero credibility" award for JT at that point.

JT has been obnoxiously and unabashedly Team Lawrence since the outdoor season. It's ridiculous how biased he's become, to the point where he's saying other riders should pull over for Jett. It's embarrassing

I think that if Anderson was riding like he was this week, JT would not have said that. But last week Jett was clearly faster and Anderson has not seemed like he wanted to go for the title the past few years. Getting into a spat with Mookie that killed their seasons and then last year was not great. I guess that could have been the other stuff he had going on. But until this last race, Jason did not look like he was going to be one of the guys in the fight.  If Jason was riding like he was at the last race, I bet that JT would not have said that. But back at that race, Jett was clearly going much faster. So I do not see it as a horrible opinion. RC has said that some days You have it and somedays You have to settle for what You can get.  Letting Jett by and watching his lines ,seeing how he made up so much time. Might have helped them both move forward. Instead You have what happened.

There're some validity that some of the scoops of the racing have fallen off because Weege and JT have to be focused on the broadcast screen for their roles, leaving only Steve to watch what's happening away from them. 

But I still love the pod and the banter between those three.

I love most of the Pulp content, and for context for those bashing the jacket talk, it started at 14 minutes in to the review show and was done by the 23 minute mark when they started the official race review. Definitely not over done. I like the banter back and forth, as it reminds me of the way I interact with my buddies at the races! 

As for the sellout talk, Weege and JT aren't going to blow out their employer, they've worked too hard to get where they are now. No one here would do any different. I also don't find them over-the-top biased either, in a way that makes me cringe. I know they all work for RacerX, or NBC/Peacock, and Yamaha is a huge sponsor.  I just like what they bring to the show each week and am glad they put all this out there for us to enjoy!

JT censors himself all the time now. I do think it’s because he is on TV more regularly and is doing his best to keep curse words out of his daily vernacular so he doesn’t slip up on the broadcast. You can definitely tell he bites his tongue on certain topics. Except when Friese is mentioned 😂

I can't help but think of what must be going through Jetts head right now and he is probably very confused. " Wow mate, these Americans sure are a tough crowd"!

I think it is kinda obvious Steve is jealous of jt and weege for them getting opportunity’s with tv stuff and him getting nothing. but I do enjoy them talking about things going on at the races non racing wise. The jacket thing is annoying tho lol
