Just listened to the show after hangtown today. I couldn´t help to laugh my ass off at the GP predictions from Matthes and even dumb ass Kenny Watson who doesn´t even know or have heard about Ken De Dycker, and he doesn´t follow the nationals. Ryan Hughes, top 5-10ish. WTF. Like Lindsey said, what do you guys smoke in that studio?!?!?
Hey Matthes, next time you need tough guys on your show, bring someone who follows the sport, and knows stuff besides off-track incidents. Paul Lindsey was pretty close on his analysis before both Hangtown AND Glen Helen. Watson - not som much.... Your show lost out when Lindsey left, because that guy really knows this sport! And please get rid of the usual callers. "Has-been" and other attention whores ruin the show. I´d say less then 50% are good callers, the rest are crap! It´s a good show, but as a fan of the sport I´d much rather listen to Lindsey, than Jersey Shore Watson.

Just needed to get that off my chest. I´ll continue to download the show, but I have to say that us listeners lost when Lindsey left.

speak for yourself sunhouse...

I was about to stop listening to the show until Watson showed up and saved the day. I have always loved listening to matthes's podcast and thought the motoshow was going to be awesome. When I heard Lindsey stating everything as factual before it even happened I had enough. Watson made me laugh and stayed on to listen.

by the way you are commenting on last weeks show

Sunhouse, I think you are in the minority in the Watson vs. Lindsey debate. I know that I think Watson is the best part about that show.

Any one can bench race and talk about stats, Watson brings great character to the show and the best stories ever!! Haters gonna hate...

I kind of figured actually. It´s just that Matthes is already a goon, so I just don´t see the need for Watson - it´s like listening to Beavis and Butthead. With Lindsey it was just core moto - and I like that. IMO Watson doesn´t bring much to the show other than random comments. There are exceptiions though, and I´m not disliking the show, I just don´t pay as much attention when listening as I did when Lindsey was on, as the BS was gone

Despite his claims of wanting to move into television and the show being hijacked by Watson, I really believe Lindsey would still be on the show if he lived in Las Vegas and didn't have to call in every week.

Matthes is a goon? On what basis,IMO his weekly bench racing column observations is by far the best recap of what went on at the races. He regulary gives behind the scenes info that you don't get anywhere else.

Like we need another guy with little to no personality claiming his bench racing opinions as factual data. IMO thats all Lindsey ever did. That and ask trivia questions that he didn't even know the answer to.

Watson's stories are some of the best content on the show sunhouse....I really like the pulp mx podcasts and a big thumbs up to Matthes and Watson you're show is the best one out. Blending humor, opinons, facts, rumors, and bench racing into a moto show is a GREAT combination!

Keep up the great work fellas.

The last one I listened to when Lindsey (sp) called in and Watson was freaking out about not having his chew while it was in his truck was hilarious!

Lindsay was good but the show, as it is now, is far more entertaining.

Sunhouse??? I think more like Greenhouse.. Don't post stuff when your high. Listing to Pual Lindsey puts me to sleep like the weed you smoke. If the callers are bad, you should call in next Monday and speak your mind....

I've been a big fan of the show, but lost interest half way through the last one. Couldn't stand Watson this time for some reason. I think he is funny but he kind of let the show down on the latest episode 'IMO'. Yes I like his attitude and have found it refreshing, but sounded to me like its gone to his head, he consciously pushed the 'i don't give a fuck vibe' so far that a'lot of what he said sounded really negative and was completely unentertaining to listen to. All that anti-Euro stuff was really lame. Pull your neck in and concentrate on the moto!

That is very true. Before Watson, there were things wearing a bit on Paul. I would say that Kenny was more fuel to an already burning fire.

Listeners, keep in mind, the show takes call in's. There were 2 or 3 callers this week, Guiseppe being one. Not every episode of Saturday Night Live is a homerun, there are ups and downs.

Maybe the holiday turned people away, who knows and yes, there will be no more of Kenny eating on the mic. He has issues with the mic and he's had a few to try out.

It wasn't totally anti euro as you say, it's all outdoors, he's not a fan of AMA either, so at least he is not playing favorites. Call in and chat with him or anyone, don't be scared

The numbers say that people like Watson better and even without looking at listeners, I can tell by the talk in the pits, the emails and the Tweets that KW is liked by the listeners.

I'm disappointed that we don't get more callers because there is a lot of people listening and so you would think if even 10% of those people called, we'd have lit up lines. Oh well, most of the calls are pretty good and I don't mind Has-Been calling in all the time. We missed him on Monday.

I have to talk to Izer about this but listenership really seems to depend on the guests we have. Tony Alessi, Reed, RV were our best shows yet and this Mondays was one of our worst (O'Mara and Kyle Lewis). I know I see a big jump in the podcast numbers with the "name" guests which bums me out a bit because some of the lesser name guys (or retired dudes) have been the best shows. (Rollerball, Taylor, Glover, Stanton)

Anyways thanks for the criticism, the praise and all that. We'll find a happy place where the show consistently works week in and week out. I'm not 100% satisfied with everything on the show and we're working on it all the time.

Never listened live but catch the Podcasts.

Ask Watson if he has any Al Borda stories.
Get some more Old school guys on.

Cooper, Craig, Metzger......too bad you couldn't get Cinqmars on. RIP

Watson's stories never get old. Those that don't "get it" probably weren't around back when moto was "Core" instead of "Corporate"

How can anyone not like an Old school story?

as said above i think Kenny wasn't as good as he had been in previous weeks, but i think that came from him not being interested in the GP or the GP riders at all, but by the looks of the crowd that turned up to Glen Helen he was typical of the American MX Fan,

O'Show was a great guest and it was good to hear from Kyle Lewis as well, i did not know how Kenny had got into Mechanicing, and hearing the history is cool,

Are the podcast listeners figured into the #s? I listen to EVERTHING archived.

Watson = Cygnus' avatar. That being said, don't change a thing .

I dont listent to the show for the people that put it on. I listen to it for the guest that are on there


Watson comes across as a pompous know it all

Remember the young kid that called in who said tht Ryan Morias was going to be on a 450 at Daytona? And Watson comes back with "Ill bet you 500 dollars that wont happen. I have been in this business 15 years I know what Im talking about."

The kid wasn't even confronting him and all his great knowledge he aquired by sucking ass for the past 15 years in the pits.Why even go there? The H and H team must their hands full with that kind of management

And Ryan Morias showed up on a 450.

I have listened to other podcasts where the hosts are alot more humble.


And yes Matthes

We know you were Ferrys Mechanic, and drove around in a box van splitting cases every week.

Personally I listen to the show because it is good entertainment and I´m also happy that you make a podcast. That way I can listen to it while doing other things or on the bus etc.
Also, I don´t care what guests are on, I´ll listen to it regardless, I just wish it would get a little more core mx at times. Like when Lindsey was trying to make a point and have a good discussion, it was interrupted with bs about Ryan Hughes and how cool and fast he is, and "back in the days" type of stuff. And that´s fine, but please let the guests finish and discuss whatever they bring up.
Also, Watson needs to lose that lame 1995ish "I´ve got pink hair and don´t give a fuck" mentality that Deegan had way back in the day. If he says something constructive, I´ll listen, but too much BS and hipness and I´ll stop listening till a new topic comes up. He must be too old for that by now

i used to think that watson was a complete tool and wasn't that interested because of that. but gave it a listen one day and loved it.
i flipped on my opinion of watson too, he cracks me up! yeah he's arrogant and a bit of a knob but his stories are awesome and the dude knows everyone and a good story about them
funny thing was i told a mate that i thought he was cool and he didn't believe me.... until he gave it a listen one day and he flipped too

oh and you're ok too matthes

Hey Matthes,

I think my boss at work wants to speak to you. He reckons my productivity goes down 25 percent when i listen to the podcasts. What a douche, if only he new, my productivity actually went down to zero!

Keep up the good work.

Love the current show.

I started to lose interest after the first few episodes listening to Lindsey's "I did that deal". He might be knowledgable but he's just too boring for radio.

Matthes and K-Dub rock!!

I thought it funny when Lewis was at Havasu said he didn''t care about the GP and mirrored Watsons thoughts about the typical moto fan was at Havasu as well.

Like it or not, thats true.
