If I remember correctly Steve versions why not having Ping on the show was that he was demanding a lot of money compared to others hosts at the time. Obviously we will never know the real reason 100% but it’s word against word and it’s Steve’s show so he decides who he has on and if that hurt Ping maybe someone should check their ego. 

I liked Ping earlier, but he’s been a really sensitive and whiny the last years. The Roczen bike debacle was such a shit show and how he hates Ken since then. 

I liked him to, But during Covid both Ping and GL lost it for me. I want my moto content being moto, not the guys personal political values.

Say what you want about Steve, but he’s done more for the sport, particularly privateers than any of these other guys ganging up on him

I kind of assume GL’s problem with Steve is over him being fired for not getting vaccinated. Obviously Steve didn’t actually fire him, but I know at the time Steve was being very outspoken about this issue. I’m guessing GL thinks, even if he has proof or not, that he had some influence on the situation given Steve’s relationship with DC. 

I don’t think GL should take every chance he gets to throw him under the bus, but I can understand how that situation could make you bitter.

It wasn't out of line in the slightest.

Matthes didn't say it was a bad question he said why ask AP (which I agree) was so cringe... He said ELI is right there ask him!

Seems really far fetched Steve would have kind of influence on that GL got fired because of that? I never heard Steve saying anything about not being vaxed? I could be wrong but don’t remember any strong opinion atleast. 

To be clear I’m not vaxed myself and always been against it but I believe everyone should decide them self.

Same as me. Never saw Steve as pro-vaxer. Maybe he was as I leave stuff like that of because it doesn’t matter for me as I listen and follow for the sx and mx content, not the political.

I think it's great johnny put them on the spot. Instead of the conform and ask Bubblegum questions.   Matthias is a industry ask kisser. At this point he should have  Coombs tattooed on his forhead.

I’m no fan of Steve, but this is the right approach with Deegan. He (and the mulisha boys) would always try to bully Pastrana back when he was a kid and winning everything in fmx. Finally Travis called Brian out and offered to box him saying he kept hearing Brian threatening to fight him and Travis basically said let’s fucking go. Brian took his L and stopped running his mouth. As others have said, if you’ve ever spent any time around Brian you know what an unhinged Little Person he is.

It’s a shame Aaron didn’t reply with: 


“Eli to KTM? Is that confirmed?? What a dumb question- come back to me when & if that gets confirmed.”

 

Yeah man that would have been so cool if he said that. So corny

The question hopper asked AP wasn't in the best taste (politically correct), in my opinion.  Hopper had planned that question in advance and kind of blindsided AP with that during a live show. These riders on factory teams are asked to keep mum about these things and AP had no where to go with that question. Talk about backing AP in a corner and  putting him on the spot while challenging his morals. No matter his answer or facial expression, moto people are well versed in reading body movements or lack thereof. 

On the flip side of things, all of us fans wanted that question and I found it kind of fun. I had the same reaction that Jett had and I was watching all alone. 

I guess if Hoppers allowed to ask more questions, the AMA , KTM or Yamaha didnt have a big enough problem with it.   But, Im sure there was some displeasure within. 

And possible that Methees felt ‘outdone’ with that live moment.

GL had factory rides, won 5 titles, was a TV announcer, has a motorsports dealership along with other businesses while Herr Lich is a professional twat on a message board. Freaking internet, man. It's crazy.

If you watch Hopper's video where he played and commented on Mathes clip about him, thats exactly what he said. He asked that question for the fans. He said he's not there to make friends with the riders. He puts out content for the fans and he's not a journalist. His words

Such an ignorant comment from Deegan. Racing dirt bikes is his job, it's not personal time, and the only reason he gets paid so well to do it is because people care about it. 

That wasn’t Haiden tweeting it was his father.

Haydens interview after the first moto, “ since I didnt win last weekend, people start talking”.  

I dont think anyone was saying much about that. 

Then I thought, does Brian have some sm alias’s he uses and makes negative comments about Hayden to keep the fire in him? I guess to each their own.  I should have tried that with my kids. 🤣😊

Im totally kidding on the above paragraph. 
Ive coached kids sports for many years and Ive seen enough that nothing surprises me.

Brian Deegan has been monitizing Haiden's personal time on YouTube for how many years now?

GL deleting the post should tell you all you need to know.  Steve is not perfect, but GL is butthurt because he got the boot from the broadcast and I guess because Steve didn't 100% side with him he wants to create BS out of the sky.

Matthes is an effeminate Canadian Liberal Socialist.

GL is a Conservative Zulu Nazi suffering from toxic masculinity. 

The Bun Guy is self-absorbed and really only enjoys conversations centered on himself.

John just want to be a Crypto Big Shot and put all this dirty moto stuff in his past

It's 2025, pick your side, there is no middle ground.

I always found the "Zulu" nickname for Grant weird since his ancestors probably helped kill Zulus. Be like calling JCoop "The Algonquin"

Steve is way too fat and soft to be threatening people on the internet. Yes that is a threat. As much as I’d like to see fatty get humbled I’m sure everyone knows hed have the cops and a lawyer on speed dial so better to just let him keep pretending to be a tough guy on the internet.

So Steve is a cocaine trafficer and murder? What the fuck is wrong with you! What has the guy done?  He’s entertained people with his shows and helps privateers. If you don’t like him don’t listen to him. Just because the guys political views don’t align with yours you’re going to equate him to a murder?
