Gypsick bro would create random accounts and posts like this to big himself up.
Matthes wouldn't do that.

Not by a long shot. 

Go approach both of them at a race, see which one has a conversation with you.

That's bullshit and you know it. How could a motocross fan not enjoy a conversation with someone with that much moto knowledge. 

The disgust in Mathes voice as he talks to a lowly fan like myself would turn me off, so I'll pass

I like them both. Why is it one or the other? The more content the better.

Same here. 

Honestly, I like having different outlets to choose from.

Gypsy and Pulp are very different to me. Both do a great job.

2 different styles 


1 is weekly breakdown and bench racing

The other is Rogan style deep interviews. 

it’s great we have both and not 1 or the other


In fact we have like 40 moto podcasts weekly now days..  

There is a ton of long form interviews in the archives for The Steve Matthes show.  I've listened to a ton of these and the interviews are good.

Lowly fan here. Met Steve 3 different times at 3 different events in the last 5 years. Nice as could be, talked a little bit of history and current Moto. Didn’t try to keep him too long since I realize being at the races is his job. When did you meet him and what was your experience?

We need both!  They aren't doing or competing for the same thing for the listeners, so both are good to go.  If you don't like Pulp, listen to the Vital/Swap/Main Event Moto/Title24 etc race reviews instead, but you can't really substitute Gypsy and Pulp b/c they're not doing the same thing for us listeners.  Fwiw, I listen to everything I mentioned above every week lol.  Not complaining about anything other than LvK and those two making up reasons to win an argument with each other haha

Lewis Phillips is a better interviewer than both. 

I enjoy Kellen and Lewis's podcast more than Pulp or Gypsy 

I do too. I really loved Lewis when he was across seas. I’m very happy he’s here, we really lucked out getting on our side of the pond.

Gypsy pulled me back into this sport by having mountain bike guys on that I wanted to listen to and then slowly listening to more moto content. At first I could hardly listen, but now he is my favorite. The people who say that Americans prefer to listen to Americans are right, at least for me. There is a Mtb podcast that I want to love, but I just can’t listen to the UK accent for very long. Gypsy would be the exception for me, I actually like his accent. I do hate the use of bro non stop (I’ve hated that word ever since it started getting over used when I was in high school) but I’ve gotten used to it. I have to say the only reason I own a dirt bike again is because of him.


Mathes is a prick. Some of it is just an act I think, but he literally whines non stop on his show. I love Keefer and his other co hosts, but I can’t stand him. I do still listen to it though.

Not agreeing or disagreeing here. 

Ive always thought that the hate that Matthes got was because of his ego, ridiculous takes, and his “better than everyone” attitude. Judging by the amount of upvotes on your comment, maybe I have been seeing it all wrong 😂

I do think there is somewhat of a generational difference that separates viewers as well though. 

Either way, we live in a great time to be fans of the sport. New moto content EVERY SINGLE DAY.

They both suck. Gypsy sucks more than the Canadian though. Whiskey Throttle for the win!

Dude, Olly rules!! Dunno who the other dude is haha

Off topic but I had zero interest in mountain bikes until I started watching Matt Jones' build series in lockdown and now I think I've got more MTB guys in my YouTube subscribes than moto haha

I'd go with RC and RV, and Stew over both of them.

Can’t watch Stew anymore either bud. He ripped off his production guys and won’t give them the money they are owed. Sad

I’m curious if Tomac came on the Gypsy podcast on his own or Monster had some influence on that. If I remember correctly, Gypsy had a Monster logo on his collar during a Race Day live interview. I wonder if Monster is influencing ($$$$$$) their guys to go on his podcast. It’s well know that Monster and Pulp do not get along.

Gypsy has said that he has a new partnership with Monster and that is what is allowing him to get guests like Tomac and RC.

Hardly a devil's advocate stance, but the sponsor segments are what make it free. Same with youtube, same with the web banners on vital. Of couse that doesn't require that you love every second of the ad segment, but don't call something freely distributed "crap"

The "Privateers need to go" video someone shared in another thread  put the nail in the coffin for me..... I didn't watch it....the words said enough.

Pure dumb-fwkery....

I totally get that shows/etc need sponsors.   It's how it's done is the problem.   Like I said earlier somewhere in this thread.  Even DV12 mocks it....

Nah, even with Steve's weight loss, I still think he's the bigger dude.

Have you ever actually met him? I have met and talked to him 4 or 5 times now. Both at the races and once at the live show and he is genuinely nice. On race day, yes, he sometimes acts rushed because he IS. He's trying to make his way through the pits to get to and talk to the racers for content. Not once though, while still being rushed have I seen him NOT stop to take a quick pic or make a little small talk. 

I've not met Jase but I have tried to listen to many of his interviews and I can't get through them. I much prefer a clip or short. I'm sure he's a nice guy but like others have said above, the constant F bombs just to fill space while forming a sentence is not for me. I hear that all day in my office with younger Millenials and Z'ers and don't want to have to hear that while trying to hear a rider's thoughts in an interview.

Steve has “smallen’d up” considerably these last few years, so Jace MAY be “Even Steven” 😜

 That said, Gypsy is simply different than Matthes. 
 Props to both 🤟

I met Jase at A1 last year and he didn’t cuss, granted we didn’t talk much. I haven’t met stev, but i’ve met dark, and he’s a good dude.
