You know I’ve liked Lewis for a few years now but he really is incredibly rude to all of his cohosts…ML on the vital pod he goes out of his way to make his points seem boring or be a dick.  Does the same thing to Kellen on LVK.  He’s condescending and rude to those dudes in a super weird way that makes the other dudes seem…idk like ML will talk about something personal a story or something and Lewis will essentially be a bully to the dude and try to alienate him like nobody cares what he’s saying.


Used to be a Lewis fan.  Lewis, chill out brah.  You’re good at your job as a media person but are coming across like an absolute asshat.

I agree with this. I know it's a little of a British thing but I do feel bad for his co-host. The only one he acts like he respects is Adam Wheeler (who I think is the best). Don't get me wrong, I like Lewis. He gets great info and is passionate about the sport. And I love that he covers both US and the GP stuff.

I think a British guy with that awesome British accent on a British bike would be about as perfect as it gets.

I like Lewis’ pod work.  Lots of pods out there with hosts that sit around agreeing with each and playing it super safe, they’re just not as interesting.

Did anyone originally think Anstie was a good fit for the Star program?

British guy on a British bike makes general sense but that program is a crap show at least for the US, and there is no Triumph program in WSX.

I almost posted something about this, but thought maybe I’m off. But the worst is Kellen and Lewis. He treats Kellen like he’s gracing him with his presence. It’s obvious that Kellen is spending time coming up with the topics and throws them out and Lewis acts like he’s hearing this for the first time and thinks he is a dumbass. 

Pretty shitty.

Max and I are so glad that we did that interview. We have both been inundated with hate from it. 

Regarding “shutting down ML” on that pod, I’ve never heard that. I am the host though and have to keep us moving rather than spin in circles. I’ll throw out a few more “atta boys” though.

I agree, and Lewis is especially bad on the pulp show, trying to bro down and keep up with Steve. Just be normal, like his GP podcast with Wheeler. He is smart and witty but he is just trying to hard to be cool at school it seems.....

To clarify: My hate is normal. Max deserves no hate for his rambling etc. A rider should always be praised for talking rather than hiding.

This is exactly why I have no motivation for any of this anymore.

Max went to Star and asked to be released, as said in that interview. They were completely surprised and caught off guard.

Why would we lie? Why would I allow a rider to lie on content that has my name on it?

Why are you letting one person ruin your motivation?

Take it a step further really count how many people in this thread are bagging on you... like 7?

Big deal...

Im not trying to be mean, rather point out how a few people will bag no matter what and to keep perspective.   Its not like thousands are calling for your resignation.   (Like in major stick and ball sports).

Chin up.

Why couldn’t it be a good fit?  Anstie was on fire until some bad luck bit him with crashes and his health. Hope he lands on a good team and gets back up to speed.

This place is full of stupid and uniformed opinions. Start there and the comments are easy to ignore.

Max basically listed all the reasons for why not in his interview. 

Agree he is capable and also want to see him land somewhere positive.

Apologies Big Lew, I was half joking. I do watch all of the content you put out and appreciate it. My bad. Now I’m on the big Lew shit list.

Gee Lew, strange response. I am a fan, but what should we say, thanks? Any way keep up the good work, you do insightful work.

Ignore those with reading/listening comprehension problems. I get annoyed by some of these comments and I have no vested interest.

No one asked for thanks? Some of the messages that Max and I have received off the back of this (fairly mundane) interview are asinine.

I think Lewis should just not let the handful of guys on here who never have anything good to say get him down.   I enjoy the content.  Enjoy him on Pulp as well.   Probably the same goons who ran Grant Langston off of Whiskey Throttle, which is still such a shame.

Didn’t Anstie get out of a 3 yr deal with Yarrive after the 2nd year to go to Star, and now wants a program that Yarrive could’ve catered to? 250sx, WSX, AusX, and a few rounds of outdoors on a 450 if he wanted to race outdoors?
