Who is the Shimoda hater/realist

How has nobody said Lewis Phillips? It’s clearly Lewis by cadence and word choice. I think he also admitted it was him on LVK 

I listened to that segment 2x back to back. It's Paul P. I've listened to his voice enough over the years, like others have said the cadence and even some of the phraseology is correct.

But.....it could be ML512. No bigger flex on being incognito than to be posting in this thread LOL.

These are stone cold facts. Before the TV gig he was really good about stating HIS opinion. now it’s obvious he’s too afraid to piss off any of the riders unless it’s a privateer then he doesn’t care much and even then he still will waffle 

It’s not. 😂

Thoroughly convinced it’s DV, you can tell by the French accent.

I mean, based on the literature used in the conversation, it could be Paul or JT; their choice of word description in conversation is similar 

Guy comes off as an elitist. Always has to me. He also blocks anybody who replies to him on socials with a different opinion. 

I was gonna say the same. I noticed at the top of the screen it had JT's name as next while doing the segment and once it was over his name disappeared. 

And doesn’t reply when you IM him a product related question.  I bought a set of Pro Taper bars because of this.

1000% Paul P. No doubt about it. I listen to way too many pods and it’s funny to me that people say it sounds like JT or Lewis Phillips. Clearly Paul. 

lol it's still up.... go see for yourself. 

I reeeeealy think it’s Weege. Based on inflection, accent, and the shitty phone connection (which we hear in every review pod).

Yeah it's paul. Word choice, vocal mannerisms, voice attributes, word pronouncing, etc. The voice changer didn't do much to disguise who it was.

The guest rundown literally said "Jason Thomas" while the realist was on the phone. 

Simplest explanation was he was already planning to call in during that slot and they didn't think to change the name when they decided to do the realist thing. 

If you still believe it is someone else, you believe that they intentionally put JT's name on their to mislead and make you think it is JT when it is not. I doubt they'd do that to JT to begin with but if they did he'd surely let you know it isn't him. He hasn't done that.

It's JT......

Can't say I love what I do, but I'm good at it, and it allows me to do the things I am passionate about. 

Soon as I heard the first "perhaps" I thought JT.  

I'm still trying to figure out why it matters who it is regardless.  It's an opinion. If it is JT or Paul P or Ellie(haha), do you all not understand why they can't say who they are?? They would be done in their current positions.  I know I have to bite my tongue a lot, they would've been better served to do the same.

I think its Pookie

I thought it maybe sounded like Daniel Blair.

Pairofbanjos

Can you elaborate on that?

I think its Adam Cianciarulo. The realist and him both talk fairly eloquently/ educated. Also, Adam loves to play these games like when he was trying to find stew. 

It's JT.. how is this not obvious?

Honest question, do you think Honda is happy with two fourth place finishes? 
 

 It’s nothing new that a lot of industry people think he is a choke artist under pressure. 

Next week they could introduce JT as the shimoda realist and put him on screen talking about it and I guess some of you would still be on here throwing out theories lol.....

Sign of the times I guess.... feelings over logic....

There is a big difference between a choke artist and a headcase in mine opinion. I'm happy I asked to elaborate haha.

Please do. How are they different? Which is worse?

+1 for JT. Instantly concluded it based on his language. Hesitancy to say anything controversial, always covering his arse etc. If there's someone that won't give you a strong opinion on a rider or controversial topic, its JT. 

A choke artist is someone who freezes when it is game time, a headcase is someone with mental problems those effect him in racing and daily life. Like Nico Izzi or Austin Stroupe.

Also besides the starts we haven't seen Jo Shimoda "choke", he gets his hard fought and deserved points. RJ Hampshire for example threw twice a good finish away, he's quite some years older than Jo. How do we call RJ than? RJ Throw Away? 

based on the length of the call, the voice changer, the accent, his cadence, his ability to speak fluently, the tall ceilings, and the jacket, ive come to the conclusion that it is obviously rutledge wood.
